A Personal Reminiscence Again

.me meiouious ana eupnonious soul of the man who funüslies the Monroe Democrat wiih readable articles, is responsable f or the following : "Prof. A. A. Stanley's musical soul is tmucli elated at the treat he has In store for the music loving portkm of our citlzeas.- Washtenaw Times. "There "was a time and occasion hen ihe professor's 'musical KOul' was mot 'elated.' It was in December, 1894, during the dedication of the Columbian prize organ, now in üniversity Hall. The building wae crowded with the elite of Ann Arbor and Detroit, in full dress. On the platform Bat the Üniversity faculty, Gov. Rich, Gen. Alger (who paid $500 lor a ticket) and otfoer distinguished people. It was a net $3,500 concert, and away up in high G. The power lof the grand organ had been developd ; the rush and roar and crash and jolt and pedal thunder had ceased ; the rage of the musical storm had died away in the arms Of a delicate tromolo which, ecaicely audible, was winding its einuous course among the keys under the professor's magie fingers, and every ear was strained and every neck craned, and all was hushed, that not a note of the delicious rêverie might escape, when suddenly, from a grip victim in the middle of the hall, rang out a sneeze like the crack of doom. The spell vanished like a fairy dream under a nocturnal bite ; the victim of grip looked reheshed and happy, and a wave of rustling silks and half audible smiles spread over the audiencc. The professor finished, but his 'musical soul' was not elated. There was more power in ttiat single 'gall-bustOr' to move an audtence than in the whole Columbian organ, in grand diapasón."
