1 6 Or?aa la In the home of many wealthy 3?ew Torkers there are not alone pianos which have cost fortunes to construct nd decorate, but also organs with elec tric attachments so that they can be played from any part of the house. The large pipes are richly decorated and are painted often by well known artists. The development In church 'organs also has been marked. The largest one ta this country, and per haps the most expensive one. Is In the A. T. Stewart Memorial Church, at 'Garden City, X X. . William C. Whitney has an enormous organ which was built especially for him In California, and was set in the 'wall, while the house was being built. The Vanderbllt home also has an in strument with electrical attachment. ro that It can be played from any on ,nf several rooms of the big- mansion at Fifth avenue and Fifty-seventh street. , Electricity has been the real force which has made the organ again popu lar. One can now invite the minister to the house and conduct a complete religious service there, the organ be ing famished "with, electrical attach ments similar to those which have been placed o nthe platno and which make it possible for almost any one n operate the instrument. If on be so disposed he can lie In ed and play the organ. The keys are placed before him with one row for the lft hand and another for the right, which is an invention also new to the Industry. The keyboard , is attached to the organ wherever the latter may V situated in the house. But the r jrar.s which are in the homes of the very rich compare little In sire and In expsr.se with those that are placed In churches al lover the world. These, too, have electrical attachments, and the work of the organist is greatly reduced. I A pltl 1m Apple Don't talk to me about the down trodden Dagos," said a policeman who was on Christian street, where the pushcart peddlers abound. I rescued one of the mhalf a dozen times from being run down by wag ons, and finally warned him that he would have his pushcart wrecked if he were not more careful. SI good a. the Dago replied, show ing his teeth and grinning. 'I believe you want to be run down, I exclaimed. 'Si.' replied the Dago. Me hava fAjr dolta da apples. Biga da wagon mnsh:i da pushcart. Da boys geta da i pples. Da man he pays me da ten "And the Dago rubbed his hands in enjoyment of the anticipated profit.' A Taller nttvltee A rather unprincipled and audacious my young Iothario had been frequent -ly pressed by letter for the payment of a !onr standing account. Having paid r.o heed to the many missives, the tail or decided to call upon his debtor to exercise the art of oral persuasion. "Could you let me have a payment on account of the Interest T Implored the creditor. "So. It's against my principle to pay interest on my bills.- was the brazen retort. "Well, will you pay something on ac count of the principle, then?" con tinued the hopelesi one. -No, it's against my interest to pay the principal, too," was the rejoinder.
