Admission to the dedication services
will be free, but there will be an offer-
ing taken to meet the necessary expen-
ses. The public is invited to attend.
The new organ in Trinity Church
differs from the ordinary church organ.
and those interested In organ building
or organ playing will find it profitable
to study Its plan and construction.

While there has been no sacrifice of
beauty and strength in the organ case.
the special aim of the committee and
the builders was to devise a scheme
which should‘rdaiize "the greatest var-
iety of musical tone color compatible
with recognised proportions and per-
feet balance. Eva-remap.- therefore. in
the organ Week strongnindividual-
ity of chin-actor and .is productive of
unusual mugs of musical effect. with
greatly adder! resources of tonal col-
oring in combinations.

Those who are qualified to talk on
the subject speak in special praise of
the diapasons and the reed pipes. The
console which contains the manuals. is
placed Well out from the overhang. the
organist facing the same way as the
members of the cantor-is side of the
choir. This enables the organist to
hear better. both the. effects of his in-
strument and the singing of the choir.

The couplers on this organ are many
and enable the player to combine the
organs represented by both manuals
and pedal keys. and by such means to
obtain effects in combination with
stone which would be otherwise lin-
possible. These couplers are brought
into service and likewise all the me
chanlcal action after the manuals and

‘ pedals are. touched. by pneumatic
agency.

A feature of all organs built by the
Austin Organ Company. of Hartford. is
the “Austin Universal Air Chest."
This is an immense chest into which
a person can enter as into an ordinary
room. and find the whole
mechanism within view and ready
reach. a valuable condition in evuy
case of complicated machinery. such
as a large organ must necessarily be.
This chest is kept filled with air un-
der pressure of bellowa in the base~
merit.

For blowing the organ the. latest and
most improved variety of hydraulic en-
gine is used.

Most Dramatic Solution
in Rome's Strangest Crime

Millionaire Beretta Kidnapped, cem-
psllod to Make a Will and Nar~
rowly Escaped Death.

ROME, Dec. 10—0ne of the strongest
crimes had a most dramatic solution
this morning. A young man named
Beretta, a millionaire, of Milan. and a
famous sportsman, was invited by tho
Chevalier Angelo Vecchio. an organizer
of sporting shows. to his villa ouside of
Milan, on the pretext that Beretta ex-
amine some old pictures. Once there.
Beretta was seized and bound and
obliged. with a revolver pointing at
his head, to make a will leaving his
fortune to Vecchio, besides writing a
letter saying that he had committed
suicide. Vecchlo then left the villa
after instructing an accomplice to
drown Beretta the next day In a bath
and carry the body for awa from the
villa, so as to give Vecchl a chance
to prove an alibi. But, the heart of
Vecchio’s accomplice softened and he
set Beretta at liberty and ecchio.
who read in the newspapers that his
plot had been discovered. disappeared.
The police thought he had gone to
America. but, Rome was electrified
this morning on hearing that Vecchlo
had committed suicide by shooting
while driving in an open carriage on
the famous Monte Pineio drive, rising
from the piazza Del Popolo here.

With a Kimono Party
and Sale of fanny Articles.
Cake and Confectionery by
the flower Committee of
the South Norwaiii Congre-
gational Church

The parlors of the South Norwalk
Congregational Church were redolent
with the indescribable odor of burning
oss sticks and trisated with gaudy
colored costumes. last evening. the oc«
casion being a kimono party and Chi-
nese wedding held there for the benefit
of the flower committee of the church.
it was an unique and pretty affair and
successful from every point of view. ex-
cept that. owing to the Inclemency of
the weather. the attendance was not
as large as was desired by those who
had the affair in cuarge. lt ts,planned.
however, to reproduce the event on
Friday evening. so that those who were
compelled to remain away by the
weather will have a chance to attend.

on entering the church the visitor

was greeted by two Chinamen. imper'
sonated by Fletcher Williamson and
Charles T. Mitchell. seated under
a gaudy umbrella. These two
celestials sold the tickets for the event.
Then a perfect fairyland met the eye.
Japanese lanterns were hung eVery-
where and ladies dressed In the quaint.
and picturesque costumes of the East
were seated dispensing tea and sweets.
Everywhere were suspended .Japanesc
umbrellas and other decorations. At
one end of the Sunday School room
was arranged a stage draped in black
upon whichwas to take place the wed-
ding.
While waiting for the performance
to commence. those in attendance
found plenty to do. There was a laun
dry in which two celestials. FranK Bec-
ker and C. A. Anderson. were busily en
'S‘feil in ironing shirts, collars and
cuffs and passing out bundles of laun-
dry to their customers. Each bundle
contained a fancy article of some kind.
The arrangement was similar to the
old fashioned grab bag.

The candy booth. which was laden
with good things. to tilt. was presided
over by Miss Helena A. Mitchell and
Miss Ruth Clary. Mrs. Charles S. St.
John had charge of the cake boath.
where there were some of the finest
productions of South Norwalk's ovens.
in the tea room were Miss Margaret
Lauder, Mrs. Frank Lauder and Miss
Ethel Keep. The doll bomb was in
charge of Miss Louise Lawrence. Miss
'Jifford Clark and Mrs. Robert Silcox.
Those present availed themselves of
he opportunity and patronized these
booths so well that the laundry booth
went out of commission in a short time
and the others wr-re almost without.
stock when the evening closed.

The production of the Chinese wed-
ding was an interesting as well as in-
structive one, to say nothing of the
grace and beauty displayed. The
bride was Miss Mary Nash. wht’i‘was
really bewitching in her oriental cosv
tume. Millard Sturtevant was the
rroom, which part he carried out in a.
triilly Oriental manner. Miss Ruth

few charred bones lying among the
smoking ruins of the farm house were
all the visible evidences remaining to-
day of the fatal fire by which the four
children of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Olds
lost their lives last evening. The
search for the bodies of the victims
was begun this morning as soon as
the ruins had cooled sufficiently to per-
mit of the work. and all the forenoon,
under the direction of Dr. W. L. Hig-
gins, the medical examiner. neighbors
and other volunteers assisted in re-
moving the debris.

Their efforts were rewarded during
the morning by the discovery of the re-
mains of two bodies tying together on
the ashes of a mattress. Little except.
blackened bones remained, however,
and identification was almost Impossi-
ble. The children were all boys. rang
ing in age from three to nine years.
it is supposed that all were overcome
by smoke while asleep in their beds.

Mr, and Mrs. Olds had been absent
from the house only fifteen minutes
when the fire was discovered about 9
o'clock. They had gone to visit a
neighbor who lives at a considerable
disturbance, when they saw the light of
their burning dwelling, and hurried
back. They were too late. however.
to save the lives of their little ones.
as the flames by that. time had so en-
veloped the house as to make it impos-
sible to go near it. The stricken par-
ents and the few neighbors who gath’
cred were forced to stand idly by and
see the ruin of the home and family.

Although the origin of the fire may

thought to be a likelihood that a hero-
