Sousa's Name.

Editor Advertiser:
! In Miss. Florence Minis article on
IaSousa's Band publishe d I'M last
kweek's dvertiser she says S.s :y
me ca n frUnl The
Sound of it as to what the national
| ity of John Philip Sousa may be.
The first part is good plain American.
The second part might be French or
Spanish or Italian and the latter part
belong to almost any oneIof a number
of European nationalities."
I was fortunate enough to hear
Sousa's Band fourteen years ago
while they were on a tour of the
Southeastern States, and thinking
perhaps it may be of interest to some
of your readers am sending you a
story of Sousa's name as it appeared
in some of his press notices, as near
ly as / can remember.
He Is an Italian by birth, but came
to America when very small child.
After attaining some small degree of
prominence, and having his name al
most involuntarily misspelled or mis-
pronounced he decided to have his
name changed. He accordingly made
application to the Courts of New
York to be allowed to change his
Italian to a good old Anglo-Saxon
name, but he was unable to decide
on the name he wished to bear. After
some delay the judge decided to dis
pose of the matter and did so in short
order by "John, you wish an Ameri-
can name, very we'll, we'll just add
u. S. A. to your last name and then
divide it into two words. Your name
is changed from John Philipso to
John Philip Sousa.

it cost to make it. If some wiseacre
