Some Canadian pirates" lately in
fringed on the copyright held by M.
Wltmark Il Sons OH Just One Girl"
ana the Canadian people were printing
The song and selling 1t in large guam
Mties. NJ. Witmark & Sons got an
inkling of the affair and as they have
reputation for protecting their songs
and prosecuting any Infringement
whatever they Immediately brought
suit in the courts against the pirate"
and received q favorable verdict which
gave them heavy damages against the
unlawful publishers in Canada.
Mr. Witmark e Sons have always
protected their interests here in the
United States, but this Is the first in
stance of foreign complication, but
right will conquer and they won their
iirst pirate case in another cline and
this will no doubt put an end to I'M
lawful publication of songs which have
an international Copyright"

Messrs. Norton and Casey last week
returned the corrected proofs Of their
next new ballad, Never" This new
song is one of much promise, and, con-
sidering the past successes OF its COM
poscrs. it will probably have a large
sale. Just AS of Old" you'll Know"
and Gould 1 But Dream" three new
songs by the same writer's, have been
accepted for publication by their pub
fishers, NJ. Witmart e Sons of New
York and London. These will all be
published this season.

"a Rabbits Daughter is the title Of
another song recently finished by Chas
X. Harris. the man who wrote after
the Ball" Break the News to Moth
Ell" mid the Green Fields of Vir-
giHTI, etc. The TILE Is decidedly orig
inal. and as Harris is noted for orig
inaiity, "a Rabbits Daughter" must be
another new idea from his very pro-
life mind.
1t Is astonishing how some people
will cling to some ballad or other and.
not content with singing it repeatedly
and hearing it sung, they want 1t ar
ranged into dance OF some kind, and
that is just what has happened to "In
the Shenandoah Valley" for it has
been arranged into q tuneful waltz by.
w. NJ. Mackie, and many have already
danced to its rhythmic measures.
Mrs. Clara Brooks Cobb. the talent
ed pianste in Professor Kruger's Or
chestin at the Monticello Hotel. Is a
charming sololst. whose fine work is
elicitng much favorable comment from
those who enjoy the music at the Mon
ticello She is in frequent receipt of re-
quests for special music, or n repetition
OF pieces that she has rendered with
especially excellent effect. The orches-
ira is n strong one individually and as
q whole, and reflects great credit on
Professor Kruger.
Life Without Love-" the we'll and
widely known song of Mr.. Arthur c..
Lewis, of this city. will be issued next
week with new music. This is probabl
the most beautiful gem that ever fell
