THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION, TUESDAY, MARCH 28, 1882.
THE SCIENCE OF MUSIC.
MR. LEVI K. FULLER GIVES THE
CONSTITUTION AN INTERVEW;
In Which He Tslke of the Concord of Swe*t 8ounds—
An Interesting TsJh on the Sotenoo or Moslo
end the We In Which Perfection Is At
tuned in Menufecmrlng Hoed Organs.
‘•Th-tt i* the foremost mao in the world in
lib department,'' naiti a gentleman to a Cos-
stitition man the other day, pointing to a
passer-by.
There was little in his looks lo show that
he was distinguished at first glance. An un
usually high forehead, a pale, studious face,
the shy,modest manner that is peculiar to the
recluse—these were his characteristics. A
closer inspection showed that there was un
usual strength in his face and that the lines
cut in it hy unremitting work showed charac
ter and restless energy.
• What is his department?” we asked.
"Acoustics,” was the reply. "He is in prac
tice what Helmholtz is in theory. He is to
America what this great master of acoustics
is to Europe."
"Who iH he?"
"He is Levi K. Fuller, a son-in-law of Mr.
Estey, the great organ maker, and a member
of the firm sndsuperinlendentof the works.”
"What is his history?”
"He was a telegraph operator when u hoy.
He became a machinist and soon bad a shop
of bis own, in which lie was making money.
In l-SGG he had attracted the attention of Mr.
Jacob Estey, and hud so won bis confidence
that lie made him :t partner in bis firm, and
put him in charge of his immense works. He
shortly afterward married Mr. Estey's daugh
ter. To him more than any living man is
tluu the progress made by this country
in acoustics, and his special
skill supplementing JMr. Estey’s
business tmgsn-iiy has made the Estey organ
what it is. He lias taken out in the past fif
teen years more than twenty-live patentscon-
neeted with acoustics, and, as I said, isthe best
authority, ami, in fact, the only absolute au
thority on all subjects relating to tone and
acoustics in America. If e bus traveled over
Europe, has studied in almost every country
on either side of the water, and his unusual
excellence is due to the fact that he had de
voted Ids .entire life with the enthusiasm of a
lover and the methods of a student to this
one subject.”
A TALK WITH lilt. FULLER.
Shortly afterwards we fell in with Mr. Ful
ler ami had a most interesting talk with hiui
concerning his profession, the main points
of which we reproduce.
“The producing and regulating of tone,”
said Mr. Fuller, "has come to he the most
exact of sciences. In nothing has there been
so much progress of late years. Of course
the elemental principles on which the reed
may be made to s[«uk have been established
for centuries, but the shaping or voicing of
the reed, the making of such
modifications ns will imitate or Mig-
gest other sounds ami the massing of tones in
to a grand and perfect harmony—all this is of
late growth. I don’t mean to say that all in
alnunent-s are made now by the most exact
methods. There are thousands of organs ami
pianos that are turned out from factories
whenever they will make a musical sound,
but the best makes, such ns Stein way among
pianos, and if you will pardon me, Estey
among organs, never send out an instrument
except it ia constructed on the most inexor
able scientific principles and capable of pro
ducing the most |M>rl'ect tone.
"To what exactness has the length of reeds
for instance been brought?'
“Well, we have graduated the length of the
reed in an organ to the ten-thousandth part
of an inch. -But this is a mere technical de
tail. We must consider besides this the den-
.Afity-of material, the shape of the throat from
[li the voice is forced, the exact curvature
ize ami shape of the lips placed above
front of the reed. You must remember
the reed of the organ corresponds
!y to the - throat of the hu-
hoing, tlie cap that we
the reed corresponds to tke mouth of
liman being. This is the basis from
ch we work and on which all -our nioditi-
_ ns arc made.”
You can then make an organ to produce
iselv the result that you wish?"
F“Haruly. Of course, we can if wo would
t an ordinary man judge of the result. For
ample, we can make fifty organs and sub
mit them to fifty men, and probably not a
plan would discover the slightest difference
n the tones of either, but with an expert it
ould he different. It is possible to
take two reeds of precisely the same length,
ami bieadtli, and thickness, and density, put
[ them in exactly the same combination ami
they will speak in different tones. One will
bo a perfect tone such as was calculated on
from the estimate on which the reed was
fashioned, the other will lack something in
■ullness, richness and delicacy. Why this is
Fwc cannot understand. It is some inherent
quality in the matter of the reed that.tve can
not understand or catch, Just as you may
take a woman with exactly the same throat
month, and lips of Patti, ami yet she would
lie unable to produce the same divine notes,
She might have the same lung power, the
same intelligence and yet she could not du
.plicate the Diva’s notes. So, too, with or
guns. We sometimes find one that is faulty
and after taking it to pieces and comparing
every part fail to pil what the matter is.”
"\V‘
hut do you do with such an organ?”
"We treat it as they did heretics in the
•dark ages—we burn it.”
“Why do you do this?”
•"Simply to protect our trade mark. Some
years ago we discovered that our workmen
would take parts of condemned organs from
the waste shop and fit them together and sell
them as Estey organs. To prevent the possi
bility of this in the future we have ordered
that every piece of a condemned instrument
should be burned iu the presence of the super-
intendent of the shop in which ic is con
demned.”
I should think that nobody would buy an
instrument tluu was made of faulty parts.”
On the contrary, a slight discord often adds
to tlie apparent brilliancy of tone. To the un
educated ear a slight departure from the exact
tone sometimes gives aii effect of spirit and
brilliancy, so that it is easy to deceive the
general buyer. After a .while this defect in
the lutrruoiiy destroys the enjoyment of the
hearer and what appeared to he brilliant at
first is then intolerable. There are many in
struments that are made to catch the public
ear by brilliant tone to the sacrifice of correct
principles of acoustics and barinouy. An ex
ample o: this idea is found in the putting of
bells and drums and all sorts of clan trap
in organs. This is done to eaten the
general ear and please the possible purchaser
into buying. But this alwuysdefeats itself at
la-i. Tkese spirited notes become tiresome
and the public declines to take further inter
est in them It. baa been my ambition al
ways to make tlie Estey organ tlm result of a
system of acoustic laws us inexorable and as
liannonbus as the laws by which the spheres
are whet led through space and to give them
consistetcy and softness and inflection of
tone nuler than brilliancy. Therefore while
we oompiss every useful or interesting note
or reed-'oicc that is used on any organ we
have abolished clap-trap appliances that are
used by others.”
"Does this not retard the sale of your in
strument?”
gentleman tried it in the presence of a large
party of experts. lie tried other organs and
at last selected oi.e of another make. The op
position which somehow or other had suc
ceeded against us was jubilant, and our agent
was in despair. He telegraphed me and wrote
me, saying that his trade would be greatly
injured unless we could send him a better
organ and one that would force the clergy
man’s son to change his verdict. I replied
that we had given him one of our best instru
ments; that all we turned out were
perfect, aud that no one could lie
better than another. I suggested that he offer
to put our organ in the gentleman's parlor
alongside of the one he had selected, and ask
for his verdict at the end of a month. I knew
that the quiet, artistic excellence of our in
strument would win after the first impression
of tlie other was off. Because l knew that we
had mastered the science of acoustics and had
built our instruments from the best material
and in accordance with the best rules, and
they had the best tone possible, and would
produce the best final result. This oiler
was made, but * the gentleman de
clined. But two weeks afterwards he came
into our rooms and asked our agent if he
would allow him to try the Estey organ once
more. Said he, "There are one or two quiet
notes in it that have haunted me ever since I
tried it, and that I have failed to find else
where." Our agent of course gave him this
permission. He tried the organ carefully, re
maining over an hour. In a few days he
came back with his father, and said: "The
tone of that organ lias lingered in my brain
since I was here the other day, and 1 cannot
get rid of it.” He tried it a'gain and con
versed earnestly with his father. They left
the office and iu a few days relumed again
with some friends, and put the Estey to an
other test, evidently comparing it hy memory
with the tone of their organ at home. The
result was that in less than a month he bought
oar organ and gave up the other. This I con
sider tlie handsomest triumph ever accorded
no less to the science of acoustics than to the
Estey organ, and this is what we claim for
un instrument, that it is built absolutely on
scientific principles hy the best men
obtainable, and that it is therefore certain to
produce the best results. I do not say that
line results are not obtainable without this
because there was a famous piano maker
whose instruments were never excelled, and
yet he knew nothing whatever of the laws of
acoustics. He simply built his pianos and
they were unrivalled. This was tlie artistic
instinct in him that enabled him to get the
right combination without knowing why lie
got it or how. But such a tiling is very
rare."
“Well, why is it that an Estey organ can
not be taken to pieces, its parts absolutely
duplicated and the same result reached hy
other makers?’'
"That is a very hard thing to do, even if
we were not protected by dozens of
ents. Of course the patents prevent exact
duplication of certain parts. But even if
this were not true 1 doubt if it could be done
The work is so exact that the band is too
clumsy to imitate or the eye too clumsy
to measure. Ior example the
Stein way piano has been taken
to pieces by ri val makers and its scale upon
which the flexibility and correctness of tlie
tone depends measured with the utmost accu
racy and yet the shrinkage of the iron iu cast
ing a new plate from these measurements was
enough to throw the piano out of tone so that
no one lias ever been able to -duplicate the
Steinway scale. It frequently happens that
our rivals take an Estey organ to pieces
and study its parts, and I frequent
ly myself take an organ or a
piano tiiat is noted for some particular bril-.
liancy, and lake it to pieces and -subject it to
the most .rigid study and measurement. It is
my duty to do this’ and it is my pleasure. I
have given my life to the study of acoustics,
and I neglect no opportunity for discovering
anything that is new or interesting. We
have had men to try to duplicate our organs,
and we have had other companies
to hire the superintendents of the various de
partments of our factories, but we have
never had any one to succeed, aud for the
simple reason that they take our results and
work backwards for the law, while we take
the laws and build up with mathematical
certainty to the result. Tiieyniight as well
take a dead body and, by tearing it to pieces,
attempt to rebuild it aud give it life, as to
take aji organ, dissect it, and try to put the
soul of harmony in the reconstructed instru
ment. You must commence right, and you
will get the right result. In one case
God puts life into the human body, in the
other science puts tlie soul into the organ. To
disregard either of these initial inlluences is
to meet failure.’
"Is the sale of organs increasing rapidly?"
"Yea,-sir; and it will increase with great
rapidity in the future. There was years ago
an objection to the organ because of its
squawking and occasionally harsh notes. It
was little better than an aceor-
deon, and artistic musicians looked
down upon it. My theory is that it is the
ideal sausieal instrument, and it is the ambi
tion of my life to make it so. A musical in
strument to possess the highest character, and
be capable ot the best effect, must have three
distinct capacities: First, the power to sus
tain a note for an indefinite time; second, the
power to-start soft and increase t he volume of
sound; third, to start loud and diminish the
volume of sounds. Now, the piano has
only ooe of these requirements. Namely,
the last. You can strike the key of a piano
aiul you produce the maximum sound at
once. It can neither be sustained at its first
degree of power nor its volume increased;
you therefore lose the power of either mass
ing vour harmony or shading it. With an
organ it is different. You can begin with a
note as soft as a whisper and
raise it to any degree of .power de
sired. You. can start with a strong tone and
sustain it indefinitely, or you .can start with
a crash of sound and allow it to die as the
wind dies through the strings of the Jfolian
harp. With these advantages I claim that
the organ is the ideal instrument, and I am
confident that the near future -will demon
strate its artistic supremacy. Already
tfie character of tlie purcha
sers has changed. Formerly we
factories three stories high with immense
drying houses, packinghouses, and other out
buildings. These, with the operatives’ houses,
make a large village. Over three thousand
people are dependent on this great industry
l or tlieir support.
The capacity of the works has been in
creased until they turn out a complete organ
for even - ten minutes of the day. The com*
pany lias agents in every country in Europe.
Paris, Loudon, Brussels, Rotterdam, Zurich,
Vienna. Constantinople, Barcelona, St. Peters
burg, Moscow, Bresleau, Stockholm and else
where. About a year ago
the company celebrated thb mak
ing of its one hundred thousandth
organ which Is a magnificent triumph of or
gan building and is unquestionably the best
organ ever made ia any country. ’ The price
is $650, or more than ’the best piano com
mands. It is classed as style 900, which
shows that tinder the management of Mr.
Fuller they have made hundreds of other
styles of organs, being determined to cover
every possible phase of public demand.
In asking Mr. Cady, who has charge of the
southern states for this g-eat company, and
who stands deservedly high in its confidence,
and in the esteem and confidence of our com
munity, what governed the cost of organs, he
said:
"It is altogether the tone. You can make
the case to suit customers, but it is the tone
and mechanism of the organ that determines
the value. For example: I can sell you a
violin for two dollars and a half, but
I would charge you for another violin
that looked exactly like it five
hundred or a thousand dollars. It is the tone
that gives the enjoyment to the owner, and
it is, therefore, the’ tone tiiat makes the in
strument valuable. Therefore, while we
furnish any style of case that is demanded by
the rich or by the poor, it is on the tone of
the Estey organ, its purity, flexibility, excel
lence, and variety, that the Estey cumpapy
stands, and it is to the perfection of this tone
tiiat Mr. Fuller has devoted ills life. As to
Mr. Fuller, I doubt if there is a man living
who lias by the work of his brain and hands
carried enjoyment and pleasure into more
homes and made more firesides bright than
he. He is a public benefactor.”

The independent colonels met at the Mark
ham house Monday to confer over the new
party. It was not a large crowd nor a mixed
crowd, but it held some of the men who were
in the original coalition meeting some days
ago. They have dropped out the republi
cans, and have determined to issue an address
to the independent democrats in the state
and wait for a subsequent meeting of the re
publicans who are expected to cooperate on
the line blazed out by this address. The ad
dress, in the language of one of the colonels,
“is unique, and will make about three quar
ters of a column.” It was written by a com
mittee whose chairman was Dr. W. H. Felton,
the other members being Colonels Hook, Ber
rien and Hulsey. Iu effect it was a rehash of
Dr. Felton’s letters to Tub Constitution, for
mulated as a platform:; and it also contains
an appeal for a new party, and recommends
the calling of a mass meeting in Atlanta for
the first day of June next, when all the colo
nels who expect to participate in the new party
will be present. Tlie meeting perhaps will be
an open one; whether a bush arbor or De-
Give’s opera house meeting has not been de
cided.
The full effect of the address will not be un
derstood until tlie republicans hold their con
ference and issue their address. Then the is
sue will be made and the people can see what
is before them in the next campaign.
. Whether the meeting at tlie Markham
"ouse Monday was harmonious or not no
°ne can stale outside of those who were pres
ent. This much seems settled: That all the
colonels who were present are candidates—
each one has his eye on some office.in his bail
iwick. The impression prevails tiiat Dr.
Felton will he called on at the muss meeting
to run for governor. Colonel W. H. Hulsey
will be called on to be a candidate
for congress in the fifth district.
Colouel James S. Hook will be called on to be
a candidate in Mr. Stephens’sdistrict; Colonel
Thomas M. Berrien will be called on to be a
candidate in the-first district; Colonel Joseph
F. Pou will be called on to be a candidate in
the fourth. In fact these gentlemen consider
the call already made and their answers are
ready. They are ready and willing to try
their hands for these various offices.
The meeting was not so large as it was ex
pected, and tlie telegraph was used to get the
signatures of some who had failed to attend,
and they were expecting to get authority to
sign names by telegraph. Dr. H. V. M. Mil
ler was chairman of the meeting, and Mr.
Smith Clayton was secretary. The following
gentlemen were in the meeting: Dr. W. H,
Felton, Colonel Jos. !<’. Pou, Colonel James S.
Hook, Colonel Albert Cox, Colonel Marcellus

Thomas M. Berien, Colonel W. -H. Huisey.

•the best piauo in cost, and to the best and
most artistic people. A few years ago a $70
organ was about the best that we could sell.
Now the price of orgaus will average over
$100, and it is out uncommon to sell one for
from $. 50 to $750. They are
rapidly being introduced as com
panions to the piano, furnishing
a massive orchestral background of a harmo
ny, against which tlie lighter work of the pi
ano may be heard to perfection. Some idea
of tlie increased use of the best organs may
be lmd when I say that the exports of orgaus
have iucreased within the last two years three
hundred per cent, more than the increase in
the export of piaues.”
We might fill columns of interesting gossip
with this most interesting man, but lack the
space, aud will leave the subject now to * re
new it at some future time.
J. Estey A Co., are the hugest organ mann-
facturers’in the world. The work was begun
in 1846, in Braitleboro, Vermont. Mr. Estey,
who was a 'pump-manufacturer, rented tlie
upper part of his building to some men who
were making utelodeons. They fell in debt
to him, and were about ’ to give up
the business. Rather than lose his
rnaney aud let the industry,
be lost he bought them out aud continued
the making of melodeons, putting his name
on them and selling them from a wagon in
I which he traveled through the neighborhood.
’No; anil yet we have had complaints from i In 1S57, the old house being burned, Mr.

licular ctse in Pennsylvania. A clergyman’s burned in 1861, aud he then put up a large
son, who was the best amateur musician in j four story factory. In 1866 he took his son,
lhat stale, and who had traveled over the j one of the best business men in the eastern
world, desired to buy a perfect organ for his j states, ami his son-in-law into partner-
own use. Of course his decision would be ': ship with himself. In 1869 they

■Washington, March 22 —The examination
of Mr. Shiplierd was resumed At 10:35. He
produced a copy of his letter to the president,
dated April 20, 1881. In this letter Mr. Ship-
herd states that the interests of his client in
Peru are so great as to entitle them to consid
eration in the discussion of any plans affect
ing the future of the prostrate republic. He
also asks that the decision on the appoint
ments of ministers to Chili and Peru be re
served until the facts relative to the claims of
the company have been laid before the presi
dent. He stated that he had not yet found
the letter of May 21, but had written to his
son to make a copy and send it to him.
PRESSED A LITTLE CLOSER.
Mr. Kasson asked the witness if he knew
any instance in which Mr. Hurlbut’s officials
actions had been purchased. Mr. Shipherd
replied that in the statements luude yester
day he spoke from his knowledge of ’events
that occurred many years ago, from which he
had formed his opinion of Hurlbut. He also
called attention to a decision of the United
States supreme court In the case of Clarke
against the United States, in which
it was shown that General Hurlbut,
while iu the service of the United States, at
New Orleans, accepted a bribe. Representa
tive Kasson then asked if in all his (witness’)
correspondence with Hurlbut, the latter ever
intimated that he desired to have an interest
in the Peruvian claim, to which Mr. Shipherd
answered: “No sir, he never did.”
IMPLICATING COLLECTOR ROBERTSON.
During his examination he also stated that
the only official or officer of the United
States government who has received a fee
from the Peruvian company, is Win. H.
Robertson, collector of the port of New York
TRACED AWAY DOWN INTO GEORGIA.
The witness testified that the Jandrean
claim is now held by Americans, but lie de
clined to say by whom. The legal name of
Shipherd’s "organization is “The Peruvian
Company,” incorporated under the laws of
Georgia in 1870, and every share of stock is
held in this country, but beyond this no in
formation was gained in regard to the com
pany’s affairs. Mr. Shipherd stated that his
first connection with these claims was as
counsel for the parties who held them.
TH E M YSTERIOUS SENATOR.
In March, 1881, Mr. Shipherd first submit
ted them io ex-Senator Boutwell, of Massa
chusetts, whwkept the papers three weens, re
turning them with the opinion that the claim
was valid, and offering to lay it before the
-resident. In the course of his testimony Mr.
hipherd forgot himself while explaining the
connection of the mysterious senator, hereto
fore referred to as an attorney to bring the
matter to the notice of Secretary Blaine. He
said he had an interview with this senator
at his (Shipherd’s) office in New York, where
the senator then was on his way front his
home in New Hampshire. At this point the
signs of amusement on the faces of his hearers
recalled him to his text. While Shipherd has
refused to mention the name of the senator,
this reference goes to confirm the statement
published that it was Senator Blair.
THE MEMORY OF DUFF GREEN.
Witness was asked how he came to obtain
the charter under the laws of Georgia, and
explained that in looking about for tlie most
favorable condition he heard of a ehai ter
which had sometime since been granted to
Duff Green by the state of Georgia, and which
contained such extraordinarily advantageous
features, allowing the establishment of
branches at any point in this country or
abroad, that they decided to obtain this char
ted. The company is now acting under this
charter and the’stock has been regularly
issued and under the clause permitting
branches. They have established their head
quarters in New York city.
THE CROOKED PATH OF THE SENATOR.
In further explanation concerning his sena
torial course, Mr. Shipherd said the senator
at first declined to take a fee, but later did
take one. after an opinion expressed by the
secretary of state and others that the matter
would never come before congress. Still later,
when it became apparent that the matter was
likely to come before congress, the fee was re
turned and the senator’s connection with the
company ceased.

HISTORICAL TREES.
KIDNEY WORT
Some «r the ULI«plcal Trees Now Growing la the Old
Botanical Gi r-dens In Athens.
Athens Banuer-Watchmau.
Between two rugged streets in our city,
with a small st ream passing through, is what
was once the finest and most noted botanical
garden iu the south, the property of the State
university. But years Before the war, for
some reason, it began to be neglected and was
at length allowed to go to-decay. Now there
is nothing to mark the spot save occasional
patches of briars and shrubbery—the rarer
plants and trees having been either removed
or crushed out by more hardy native shrub
bery. But in this spot there are yet stand
ing’ three trees .that will for many years to
come render it a place of pleasant resort to
the antiquarian and the curious. The first
and most conspicuous is a weeping willow.
The Freueh government gave William H.
Crawford, while minister to that kingdom,
six switches cut from the noted tree that
grows over the grave-of Napoleon Bonaparte,
on the island of St. Helena. That eminent
statesman distributed those to -scions among
the various public gardens, sending one to the
Georgia state university, which was planted
in the botanical garden. This
tree is still standing and in .vig
orous growth, although Lundredsof branches
have been clipped from it. But for many
years past the history of the tree appears to
hove been lost, and it is never noticed except
by our oldest citizens. There is also near at
hand an eltu, with a history scarcely less in
teresting than its ueighbor, the weq?ing wil
low. This is a scion from the noted .elm on
Boston commons, and was set out by idle em
inent Dr. Ward. There is also a st ately oak,
mat grew from an acorn brought .Tim Eng
land by the doctor.

FACTS/
A great many people are asking
what particular troubles Brown’s
Iron Bitters is good for.
It will cure Heart Disease, Paral
ysis, Dropsy, Kidney Disease, Con
sumption, Dyspepsia, Rheumatism,
Neuralgia, and all similar diseases.
Its wonderful curative power is
simply because it purifies and en
riches the blood, thus beginning at
the foundation, and by building up
the system, drives out all disease.

am regaining strength daily, and I
ctoerfully recommend it to all.
1 cannot say too much in praise
of it. Mrs. Mary E. Buashear %

from which I could get no relief, 1

Bitters with the happiest results.
