JUN HlAlU f1QUCd ildh written a new
march, which he has named Imperial
Edward" and which has been dedicat-
ed, by special permission, to his most
gracious majesty, King Edward VII.
When Mr.. SOusa gave a concert with
his band at Sandringham, England be-
fore the royal family on the queens
birthday, Dec. I. King Edward took Oc-
casiOn to compliment the American
composer on his music, and granted
Sousa permission TO write a march in
his honor says the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
The composition was written during
SOusa's recent vacation at Hot Springs,
Va, and the dedication and title OF
the new march was submitted to the
king through the proper channels. Ten
days ago a cablegram brought the
royal approval and since that time
the march has been arranged for band
and orchestra, has been engraved and
printed in many thousand copies and
distributed to the music trade, has
been rehearsed by the Sousa band I'M
der SOusa's direction, and given 10 the
public during the bands tour in Can
ada.
Wilberforce Jenkins, a New York
biographer extraordinary, pays his re-
spect stO Mr.. De Wolf Hopper in this
manner:
Basso profundo, heaviest light come
dian on the stage. Is sixteen feet high
and his vocal register runs from the
top Of his head to his heels. Born in
New York, 1858. and studied singing
IN the round house of the New York
Central railway. His voice by care
ful nursing, reached such volume that
at the age Of II ne was able to drown
the sound of seventeen locomotives al
whistling at once, and in 1875, in a con-
test with a tugbOat for the noise cham

minutes. Later ne entered the employ
Of the light house service, and for four
years was usefully occupied on the
New England and New Jersey coasts,
warning vessels off the dangerous
rocks and reefs by running the scale
on fOggy nights.
Attracting the attention of Colonel
McCaull. of the famous opera company
by his work in this connection. The
colonel was returning from Europe in
q belated Cunarder. and while off the
Banks in a dense fog the bass notes of
Hopper fell upon his ear. rs that a
fog horn, Captain COOk?" the impre-
sario inquired. NO, Colonel McCaull
the distinguished navigator replied
that is De Wolf Hopper down at San
dy Hook" A week later the comedian
was engaged TO sing male choruses il
the McCaull Opera company. His
huge bulk soon made it necessary t
promote him to leading man. since Il
was impossible for him to appear or
the stage at all without occupying the
center of il.
The statement that Mr.. Hopper, as al
infant. swallowed a megaphone while
at play is a Islander that is easily re
