published by the Cliff-Harris Music Com-
pany of Camden, N. J., is Sig. Giorgia Min-
oliti's new caprice "The Gibson Girl
Dance." The Blasius Co., this city, are
the distributors of the music of this house,
and no composition in their very large
stock is such a ready seller. They have
also an excellent seller in "My Alabama
Sue," written by Hallback and Zew, and
made popular here by the "Smart Set"
Company, and there has been a big demand
here this week for "Nancy Brown" music,
Marie Cahill being- very popular in this
city, and her "Congo Love Song" written
by Cole and Johnson, and "June" are
whistled generally on the street, and have
been in great demand at all the stores.

tions,^ and contains many popular arias
which are going to be largely sung during

"The Runaways" are also here this week,
and music from these musical plays is sell-
