WAR ON CANNED MUSIC"
Those Who Woo the Muse Want
Royalty from Photograph
Makers

Washington, Jan. 10.-A lively
warfare is now being waged in
Washington between the authors
and composers of musical produc-
lions, on the one hand, and the
manufacturers of canned music"
on the other. Those who WOO the
muse believe that they are entitled
to royalty from the makers of
monograph records and gramo-
phone discs who use their musical
products for mechanical reproduc-
ton. To accomplish the protection
of the bards from the rapacity of the
soulless corporations, Senator Kit
tredge has introduced a bill allow
ing composers the control of the
mechanical rights Of the offspring of
their brains. The bill has met with
1.-The bitter opposition of the me-
! chanical music manufacturers, who
declare that it will probably result
in one firm cornering the canned
music market and thus fostering a
wicked monopoly
The manufacturers assert that If
they are compelled to pay royalties
to authors and composers, it will
cost the public a million dollars
year more for it's mechanical music.
The composers reply that the talk
ing machine manufacturers make a
profit of &c % per cent on their
products and that they can well af
ford to pay the poor authors a
small royalty without raising the
price of records to the public. The
battle is being waged merrily and
the unfortunate solons have been
forced to give much earnest thought
to the subject. Present appearances
are that the composers will win out
and that the disseminators of me-
chanical music will have to say 'by
i your leave to the author before Of
fering a song or other musical pro-
duction to the public.

Mas New Husband.

That merry, romping musical
farce, Mas New Husband" will be
at the opera house this evening.
From all accounts, it is one of the
big laughmakers of the season and
Managers Scott and Raynor have
been obliged to promise return dates
in several cities in order to satisfy
the popular demand. The company
has been receiving glowing press
notices for clever, rapid fire work
and for the singing and comedy
merit of the individual members.
Much of the success of MAS New
Husband" is said to be due to its
plot and to the dexterious handling
of maze of side-splitting situations
The scene of all the mirth and mel
ody is laid in the Chicago home of a
rich, old-sport bachelor, Culpepper.
His cousin, Maria Longfellow, has
recently lost her husband. Culpepper
had loved her in the old days and
writes her to come on from New
York and take charge of his home.
His letter arrives in the nick of time
to save Maria from visions of star
walton, as she has just been eaten
out of house and home and furni-
tuTe by lot of impecunious actors.
One Of the actors out Of Job has
captured her heart. Herbert Short
is his name. They arrange to marry

FASHIONABLE MOURNING.
Fabrics Used and the VarIous Ways Of
Employing Them.

Fabrics Used nnd the Various Ways 81
Employing Them.
For mourning there Is a new fish net
veil with large meshes looking almost
as coarse as wire netting. II Is bor-
dered with band OF courtauld Grape
for widows and with dull silk for those
who mourn brothers, sisters or parents
or who have passed the first six
months OF their mourning. Widows do
not now always wear the white crepe
lisSe ruching at the part OF the bonnet
touching the hair Some OF the most
refined women dislike to parade the
peculiar degree of their bereavement
TO that extent and so dispense with
the white band, which signifies widow
hood only. So widow now may wear
any preferred kind Of hat or bonnet,
with long Grape veil for church and
lighter one. such as has just been
mentioned, for less important Occa-
sions. The one who has worn q long
English Grape veil will understand the
meaning Of this.
In the illustration is shown such a
veil. which Is really an innovation, and
II will be seen readily what a blessing
1t Is, especially In warm weather. Re
spect for the dead and for the dictates
OF fashion seems to make a veil Inn
perative, so it is good thing that the
lighter kind may be worn.
Hats follow the prevailing modes as
to form, but naturally a mourning hat
or bonnet must be made Of or trimmed
with Grape. Black flowers, leaves,
fruit and other fanclful devices are
seen as trimming Black feathers,
when fat and close. will be seen on all

each Of them consisting of FIVE pound
