Publication of Music in America.

Philadelphia prints more than one-quarter
Of all the music published In the United
States, and the total amount Of 1t is six
times as great as 1t was fifteen years ago.
But while Europe shows no such increase as
that, this country's total output is still less
than half of that Of Leipsic, Germany, and
less than that Of several other European
cities. In this city the amount of instru-
mental music printed used to exceed that
of vocal music. This was due. it is said,
to the cheapening of pianos in recent years
and the popularity of banjo and guitar
music. Now. however. the banjo, at least,
has lost some of Its popularity. and the
gain in vocal music-until 1t is about equal
to the instrumental IN quantity-is attrib-
uted to the current prevalence OF musical
comedies. In vocal music the comic and the
sentimental keep about even. The gain in
religious music has not been SO great az
that in other lines.

Trees in a Tomb.
From the Boston Herald

Near the newly made grave of Alfred
Belt, in Tewin churchyard. is the most Curl
GUS tomb in England. In 1t is buried Lady
Anne Grimston, daughter of the Earl Of
Thanet, who died nearly two centuries ago.
Upon her deathbed she refused spiritual
comfort. An atheist she had lived. an athe-
list she would die.
ut is likely that I should rise again
from the dead" she said, las that a tree
should grow out of the middle of my coff1n."
A tree has grown out OF the middle of her
coffin-an oakland by its side sycamore.
The vault is square, of brick and granite.
The two trees first filled the interior be-
fore they could find a way out. When
they did burst through the masonry they
80 spread as to completely envelop the
grave.

Washington, Nov. z. - Presidenc
Roosevelt's appeal for a Republican
congress was not in vain. The result
at this hour shows the election OF 217
Republican congressman, 162 Demo-
Gratis, with districts to be heard
from. There are $50 seats to be filed
in the house, and should the Demo
Gratis get the remaining districts they
would still not have the control.
The most sanguine prediction put
out by Chairman Sherman previous to
the election was that the Republicans
would retain control of the house by
so. As the returns stand now the
Democrats have gained Fl districts
held in the present congress by Re-
publlcans as follows: Illinois 2. Iowa
/, Missouri s, Nebraska 1. New Jersey
1, New York /, North Carolina l. Ohio
3, Pennsylvania 5, Indiana and Wis
consin l.
In Illinois the defeated Republicans
are Rives and Dickson Of the Twenty
first and Twenty third districts: in In
diana, Cromer OF the Eighth; in Iowa.
Lacy of the Sixth; in Missouri, Full
kerson OF the Fourth, ELI of the Fifth.
Wellborn of the Seventh and Caulkins

North Carolina, Blackburn OF the

vania. Dale Of the Tenth, Palmer OF
the Eleventh, and Samuel Of the Six
teenth. The Republicans gained the
Third Kentucky district, where o. ID.
James defeated Representative Rich
ardson. This Is the only Republican
gain so far reported.
Speaker Cannon received his usual
$4,000 majority, and comes back to
congress for the seventeenth time.
The fight against Representative Dali
zell of Pittsburg was futile, as Mr..
Dalzell is reelected with a reduced
majority. Mr.. Wadsworth, who is
chairman of the house committee On
agriculture, was defeated by Peter A.
Porter, who announced himself first
as an Independent Republican and at
tackled Mr.. Wadsworth's record on
the meat inspection legislation. He
was endorsed by both the Democrats
and Independence league.

Seven out of nine Republicans who
voted stood for the State ticket with

the county ticket and what they did
to it, the figures will tell. There
were quite a large number of ballots
thrown out in the county, especially
in the city, because there were some
persons who became confused in the
scratching business and did a little
too much blue-penciling, thereby los

Republicans who were with the

under such circumstances as a great
