One -carload of sweet harmony, an organ from Boston that fills a box car to the roof; the largest organ ever shipped into Montana, perhaps the northwest. Such is the brief description of the organ that is to be placed in St. Patrick's Pat-rick's church in this city right away.-The away.-The organ was shipped from Boston on Oct. 30, and the- freight on it will amount to $420.06 laid down at the de- i pot. The organ loft in the church has been enlarged and strengthened to support sup-port the great weight of the new music box. which cost $4,000. not counting the freight and drayage charges. The machinery ma-chinery will be operated by water power and the motor is included in the cost of the organ.' During the past month many improvements im-provements have been made to the large church. A new bell, the largest in the state, was recently placed in the belfry. In order to insure a safe resting rest-ing place for this great bulk of tone it was necessary to put in additional girders and supports in the tower. The placing of the new organ in the loft under the tower makes it necessary that more support be put in. Now the tower and loft may be said to be practically new, so far as interior arrangement ar-rangement is concerned. When the church was originally built ! It was about one-third as large as it is ! now Kinre hen two wings have been I added, giving that much more room. Still, with the additional floor space, the capacity of the church is not large enough to accommodate all those who attend service or who desire to attend. The building of the Sacred Heart church in the eastern part of the city relieves to a great extent the strain upon St. Patrick's church, but the latter lat-ter will have to be enlarged soon. "We expet to have the organ in place and ready for use within ten days," said Father De Siere, pastor of the church to a reporter for the Standard. ' "I have just received word from the house that shipped it that as soon as the organ arrives to wire the branch house in Chicago, which will imme- j dialely send a man to put it up. The organ will cost when ready to give forth its music about $4,800. We have gotten along very well with the little organ for many years, but the congregation congre-gation wanted to have an organ as fine as any in the country, and as far as I : am able to say, not being a musician '. myself, I believe they are going to have i it." Requiem Mass For Marcus Daly. Requiem High Mass was sung in St. Patrick's church on Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. The services were in memory of the late Marcus Daly, who died in New York on Tuesday, Nov. 12, 19C0. "I received several requests from friends to hold services in memoriam," said Father De Siere on Sunday. "Mr. Daly was a man universally beloved in this city and state, and the many requests I hare received to hold services serv-ices appropriate to the occasion attest strikingly the high esteem in which the man was held by his fellow citizens citi-zens in Butte. I gladly assented to the proposition and the services next Tuesday Tues-day morning will be for the repose of the soul of the late Marcus Daly." As early as last Monday week the choir of the church began to rehearse special music. The choir was augmented aug-mented by the , addition of several voices and stringed instruments. When the suggestion was first made to hold memorial services it was hoped that the new organ would be in position, so that the occasion might also mark the dedication of the great organ, but it was not there. Father De Siere was the celebrant at the Requiem High Mass. and Father English deacon. Father Harrington sub-deacon and Father McGlynn master mas-ter of ceremonies. There was a full service of altar boys and the sanctuary sanc-tuary was draped in mourning. . Social and Personal. Something new as well as unique was Miss Mamie Driscoll's card party. A trolley ride at a card party is certainly an original thought, and Miss Driscoll's interpretation of the mystery was as enjoyable as it was surprising. The trip was to Euchreville, and on the way the jolly passengers lingered at stations with such suggestive names as Whist-ville, Whist-ville, Tiddleywinks, Parchesi and Casino. Ca-sino. As the journey progressed the spirits of the travelers grew gayer and the contest in the outcome fiercer, so it was a tired and hungry crowd that finally pulled up to the last section, Euchreville, and halted twenty minutes for lunch, which was a genuine country meal served at a lunch counter. Mrs. A. T. Morgan came off with honors and captured the first prize, a pretty golf girl picture in water colors. Sid Lewis won the gentlemen's first prize, a kodak book.
