THE COMIC SONG.
An English View as to Its Recent
Decadenee.

An English View as to Its Recent
Decadenee.
II is said that there is a reaction
in the public taste as regards comic
songs. Music publishers have COM
plained that there is no longer the
ready demand for them which there
was a few years back, when any ditty
which could raise a laugh was GER
tain of a reasonably remuneratiye cir
culation. 1t may point, and probably
does. to a sense Of boredom with the
type of comic songs which have be-
come popular. Hitherto, says the
London Globe, the young man who
has no voice and no knowledge Of
music. finding that he must do some
thing to contribute to the gayety Of
nations and the conviyiality Of draw
ing-rooms, has fallen back either
upon comic songs or recitations. The
latter, requiringperhapsmor art and
study, soon cease to allure, and
comic songs are left alone in the
field. He goes, therefore, and pur-
chases such songs as have attracted
his attention at music halls or other
nlooos hotter or worse. and these he
learns, hoping thereby to rival the
wide. widesea ftherollicking bass or
the tender sentiments of the popular
tenor. For some years this young
man has been the chief supporter Of
what we may call the comic song
trade. But for him comic songs
would not be published or purchased,
since they are not bought for the fun
Of reading them, for the exquisite
ness Of their music, or for the beauty
of their verse.
Before we come to a conjecture as
to the occasion of the decadence Of
comic songs, it will be well to glance
at their history. Prior to a century
ago there were drinking songs, stu
dents songs and here and there folk
lore songs with rugged humor oftheir
! own. But the real comic song, with
its humorous situations, its catchy
refrain, its slang, and its boisterous-
ness, is comparatively modern.
Step by step, with the growth Of the
music hall, the comic song grew in
popular favor. The Lion Comique
dressed up to the part; he shouted his
lines so that no delicate touch Of hui
NOR might escape attention. He
d had not many themes. The mother
e in-law has done him true and lauda-
( Bile service; in season and out Of sea
son he has gibed al her, and so useful
t has she been that it seems quite rea.
y sonable to expect the Lion to love hii
}. mother-in-law in spite Of his declara-
n tions. The coming-home-drunk il
his second theme. 1t is not very
pretty, nor is it very humorous il
itself, but it is useful. 1t shows whaf
q gentle person the Lion Comiaue'l
IS wife is; it shows what excellent per
sons his "pals" are. The comic song
e always views virtue and vice from
r standpoint Of its own. Lunacy is
matter for jest, while SO mild a vic,
it as Irritation, especially if that person
his wife, happens to i%nterruptit, is al
opportunity for at least one verse
The treatment may vary. Tn,
lie comique may be a lion or a lioness
Y, The refrain may be tinkling cymba
er or sounding brass-but the conf,
,e song Is the same always.

FOR APPENDICITIS.
An Operation Was Performed On
Linton Maddox of Rome.

Linton Maddox of Rome.
Rome, Ga, April 2O.-Linton Mad
dox, a son of Congressman John w.
Maddox, was operated upon for ap-
pendicitis this afternoon and is in a
most critical condition. The, gravest
fears are entertained of his recovery.
Young Maddox was stricken very sud-
denly a few days ago, and it became
evident to-day that an operation alone
could save his life.
Linton Maddox was a student only
last year at the archaeological School
in Atlanta, and besides taking a high
stand in his classes, was very promi-
nent in athletics. He was especially
well known as a crack football player,
and there are many University Of
Georgia students who know him as a
wonder in this line. The best medical
and surgical attention. is being given
him.
