How SOusa Names His Marches.
People have frequently commented upon
the happy titles that John Philip Sousa has
applied to the many marches that have
brought him so much fame and fortune
Sousa's titles have always possessed the
merit of being unique and original and
have generally been the result of some
chain of circumstances. His first great sue
cess, 1.-THE Washington Post" has made the
name of that journal famous. His "Semper
Fidelis' march was written for and dedi-
Gated to the gallant United States Marine
Corps. Its title was taken from the motto
of the marine corps 1.-THE High School
Cadets '''The National Fencibles'' and
1.-The Corcoran Cadets were all named for
military organizations i'm Washington. d
C., as evidence of friendship on the part of
the composer. Manhattan Beach" was
written at that famous summer resort and
dedicated to the owner, the late Austin
Corbin. It was in honor of the late lament
ed Cotton States Exposition at Atlanta
that Mr.. Sousa named one of his best
marches King Cotton while '"rhe Direc-
torate' secured its name from the govern
ing officers of the st. Louis exposition 1.-THE
Liberty Bell' discovered its name when Mr.
Sousa attended performance of the spec
tacle America" in Chicago during the
world fair time tt was The liberty
Belt march that first brought Sousa any
financial returns, He had previously sold
Inc washington Post AMI THE High
School Cadets to his publishers for sax
apiece. An inspiration surely came to Solisa
fifteen months ago. when he named a new
march The Stars and Stripes Forever
Tor never did musical composition receive
more appropriate or fortunate title The
composition itself and its title were the
expression of the musicians patriotism on
his return from a long European tour
with no thought that war with a foreign
power would shortly elevate IL 70 the dig
nifty Of a national air AT the surrender Of
Santiago The Stars and Stripes Forever
was the musical doxology of the impressive
ceremonies attendant upon the lowering of
the enemvs emblem and the elevation of
the American emblem. Besides these there

THE Bride Elect march in his operas
which are played by all orchestras
