Show A REALISTIC ORGAN RECITAL. Andrew Carnegie's adviser in all matters mat-ters pertaining to pipe organs was the lato Frederick Archer, an Kr.glish organist, or-ganist, who gave recitals werkly at the Carnegie Mimic hall In Pittsburg. One Saturday evening Mr. Carnegie attended at-tended Archer's recital and was enraptured enrap-tured with the rendition of a descriptive piece which depicted a terrible storm. The howling of th.i wind, the surf's roar and the frequent crashes of thunder were realistically portrayed upon the majestic orsan. "It was grand," declared the ironmaster ironmas-ter enthusiastically, as he creeled the organist at the recital's conclusion. "You wouldn't Ix-lleva, though," responded re-sponded Mr. Archer, "that on one occasion occa-sion I played that piece on a small churc h organ with a most complimentary result; In fact, 1 don't li-11eve that i ever rendered ren-dered it more naturally in imitation of the racing elements." "What!" ejaculated the famous philanthropist, philan-thropist, "you plaved that number more perfectly on a email church organ than you i.d tonight on that great Instrument?" Instru-ment?" "Yes," replied Mr. Archer, sadly, "on that occasion, when 1 made ready to leave the church, I found that my umbrella um-brella was missing." |
