Saloma." With Julius Steger, "My Little
Gal," " My Saloma" and "Louisiana Lize,"
and with "The Beauty and the Beast" com-
pany, "The Old Flag Never Touched the
Ground" and "Cupid's Ramble." Another
good team writing for this house is Williams
and Walker. Their publications are: "When
Cupid Hunting Goes," "Good Afternoon,
Mr. Jenkins," "Miss Hannah from Savan-
nah," "The Fortune-Telling Man," "The
Phrenologist Coon" and "When Zacharias
Leads the Band."
This, taken altogether, is something to be
proud of, and it is easy to see that the sea-
son of 1901-02 will be a prosperous one for
the "house of hits."
BOYS COMBINE TO STEAL
Joseph Caesar certainly lived up to his
reputation of "the lightning manipulator in
handling sheet music." This young man,
who until Saturday last was shipping clerk
to the E. T. Paull Music Co., in company
with William Baer and William Steinert,
occupying similar positions with Chas. K.
Harris and Feist & Frankenthaler, have been
systematically robbing their respective em-
ployers. Their modus operandi was to go
to work early and purloin large quantities
of the song hits of the day, which they sold
to some dealer in Brooklyn, whose name
has not yet come to light. They were held
at the Jefferson Market Police Court on
Monday in $1,000 bail each. The receiver
will be arrested.
WITMARKS BREAKS ALL RECORDS.
It is doubtful if any music publishing firm
hold such a record as that at present held
by M. Witmark & Sons in the matter of
comic operas and musical productions, for
they are the publishers of fifteen successful
musical comedies and burlesques playing to-
day. Here is the list: "The Viceroy," being
played by the Bostonians; "Princess Chic,"
played by the Marguerite Sylva Opera Co.
at the Tremont Theatre, Boston; "A Royal
Rogue; two companies playing "The Burgo-
master" ; "Mam'selle 'Awkins"; Shay's Co.
playing "Fiddle-dee-dee"; Chauncey Ol-
cott, playing in "Garrett O'Magh"; "The
Explorers," playing at the Dearborn The-
atre, Chicago;
two companies playing
"King Dodo"; "Dolly Varden," by the Lulu
Glaser Opera Co.; Weber and Fields in
'•Hoity-Toity"; Ward and Vokes in "The
Head Waiters"; and "The Chaperones," the
most sucessful musical comedy of the sea-
son, by Fred Rankin and Isidor Witmark.
That is a list that is not approached by any
ether firm in the world.
MORPHY ON THE WING.
Bert Morphy is again on the wing, and the
E. T. Paull Music Co. have lost the services
of their valuable manager. Mr. Morphy
returns to the vaudeville stage. He will

LATE STERN PUBLICATIONS.
Jos. W. Stern & Co. publish this month
Cole and Johnson's "No Use in Askin',
'Cause You Know the Reason Why" and
"My Heart's Desiah is Miss Mariah," both
being featured in Primrose and Dockstader's
Minstrels. Heelan and Helf have two new
numbers out, "When the Irish Are on Pa-
rade" and "East Lynne." H. W. Petrie has
a fine baritone song, entitled "A Thousand
Leagues Under the Sea." This song has one
of the most artistic title pages we have seen
for a long time—but then, this house is noted
for that.
CHICAGO ASSOCIATION TO MEET.
It is now probable that the Chicago
Music Trade Association will be re-
organized. A preliminary meeting was
called for Thursday. Later on another
meeting, followed by a banquet, will oc-
cur. The rehabilitation of the Association
will be received with much pleasure. Chi-
cago, which is always associated in a business
way with progressiyeness and hustle, should
have an organization second to none. It
has the men and the money and can, by
united effort, do much to advance the best
interests of the industry, apart from the
social advantages which accrue through in-
tercourse.

MISS DAWKINS' FAMOUS VIOLIN.
The famous violin, procured from the mu-
sical instrument exhibition in Venice several
years ago for the sum of $1,000, has recently
been purchased by Miss L. Dawkins, of Den-
ver, Col. The finest experts in old violins,
both in Europe and America, have pro-
nounced this instrument to be a perfect spec-
imen of Sebastian Kloz, Mittenwald, 1756.
The remarkable uniformity of tone through
all the positions, and the beautiful quality of
the four strings make this instrument of in-
estimable value in solo playing. The curves
and scroll are a delight to connoisseurs.
SOMEWHAT BUNGLED.
A. C. Cheney, and not Comstock, Cheney
& Co., has purchased an interest in the Gor-
gen Piano Action Co., of Castleton, N. Y.
Some of our contemporaries got mixed, evi-
dently, in their reports. Mr. Cheney is not
connected with the Comstock-Cheney cor-
poration,

POTENT FACTORS IN SUCCESS.
Brains and great executive ability are po-
tent factors in a man's success, but without
the firmest and most thoroughly grounded
principles of cardinal honesty they are factors
which cannot make for success, as a writer
in the October Ladies' Home Journal says.
It is the combination of great ability and ster-
ling integrity that places men in control of
large interests and keeps them there.
Harlow & Co., of Binghamton, N. Y.,
have been exhibiting a very fine line of
Fischer, Boardman & Gray pianos, and Mason
& Hamlin and Kimball organs, at the local
Fair. James Munn is also in line with the
Mehlin, Munn, Schubert and Baus pianos,
as well as the Chicago Cottage organs and
Lehr piano-cased organs.
