&THE SONG WRITERS* CLUB.
A scheme is on foot to form a club for
the mutual benefit of song writers and those
pertaining to the music publishers' field.
The organization, it is proposed, shall take
the name of "The Song Writers' Club," and
it will be purely of the social and benevolent
order. Wiiliam Jerome is the man to whom
all credit is due in this worthy undertaking.
Club rooms will be taken where members
can meet to write, read and generally have a
good time. A benevolent fund is to be
formed for both death and sickness. The
club will in no way dictate as to what mem-
bers shall do with regard to their songs.
They will be as free as they are now, and
this should be clearly understood. Among
ether innovations, the club will have a record
book, in which authors and composers can
immediately enter their compositions.
A preliminary meeting is to be held this
day week, Saturday, Sept. 21st. The place
has not been settled upon, but all song writers
will be informed during next week, and it
is to be hoped that William Jerome will re-
ceive all the support that he deserves in this
laudable work.
NEW SONGS BY NEVIN.
The John Church Co. publish four new
songs by Ethelbert Nevin : "An African Love
Song," the lyric by Paul Laurence Dunbar;
"Mighty Lak' a Rose," "To Anne" and "At
Rest." These are all beautiful numbers, in
the Nevin style, and will doubtless be much
in demand, for he has many followers. "An
P'nglish Lullaby," by Walter Evans, is pub-
lished by this firm. Other additions to their
catalogue are eight preludes for the piano,
bv Reginald De Koven, under the title of
"In Minor Mode." Another instrumental
number is a waltz-caprice by Fordyce
Hunter.
THE HOLY CROSS.
Word has just been received by Dave
Fitzgibbon, Butler & Co., from the Hoi combe
& Frost's comedians, in "Parson Johnson's
Flock," now playing successfully on the
road, that "The Holy Cross" was the "hit"
of the show, and they were compelled to re-
spond to four encores on the first night, and
five and six afterwards. Cushman, Hol-
combe & Curtis are the owners of three big
acts this season, and are using all of this
firm's publications.

MAX SILVER OPTIMISTIC.
A representative of The Review had an
interesting interview with Max Silver, who,
by the way, will assume permanently the
management of F. A. Mills' prosperous busi-
ness. Ray Miller has taken his position in
Chicago.
Regarding the coming season, Mr. Silver
said: "Things were never better in the sheet
music field." He named the following songs
as ones which were selling well: "Bessie,"
by Cobb and Edwards; Zelma Rawlston
is featuring it with much success; "I'll be
With You When the Roses Bloom Again,"
"The New-Born King"—a big seller—and
finally the great coon song, "Go Way Back
and Sit Down." Nat M. Wills, the happy
tramp, declares it is one of his best "ap-
plause-getters." Mr. Mills has a good man
in Max Silver; there are few singers of any
note who do not know him personally, and,
being a popular man, they are always glad
