wards. The squadron went on a cruise
last week up the Long Island sound and
came to anchor at Rye Beach, where the
first summer manoeuvres were successfully
carried out. They received an enthusiastic
salute from Sir Thomas Lipton's yacht as
they passed, and returned it gallantly and
promptly.
MME. SCHUMAN-HEINK WILL SING THEM.
Two songs, "The Rose and the Lark. v
and "My True Love Hath My Heart," by
Julian Edwards, composer of "Dolly Var-
den" and "When Johnny Comes Marching
Home," and published by the William
Maxwell Music Co., New York, will be
used by Mme. Schuman-Heink in her con-
cert tour this fall. Another production of
these wide-awake publishers, "Lily and
the Blue Bell," by H. Wakefield Smith, is
being sung with great success in the West
by Miss Ada Arnoldson. On September
15, the house will publish a new sacred
song by Harry Rowe Shelly, in three keys,
and which has been pronounced by profes-
sionals, who have seen the manuscript, to
be a composition that will meet the public
favor, and prove as large a seller as any of
his other productions.
"Virginia," a
Southern dance, full of catchy themes and
rhythm, and "Saturday Afternoon," by
Hubbard Harris, are also selling well, both
being published by Western houses for
which Maxwell & Co. are Eastern agents.
A BUSY COMPOSER.
Melville-Ellis, whose valse sentimental
"Pense D'Automne," on the style of the
exalted love songs which have been sung
in Paris for a couple of seasons, has cre-
ated something of a furore in New York,
is probably one of the busiest young com-
posers in the metropolis at the present
time. He has orders galore for prominent
singers and managers, and is working
night and day to. keep up with them. Quite
a good deal of the music for "Mother
Goose," Klaw and Erlanger's next season's
importation, is being written by Mr. Ellis,
and he is also engaged on the score of a
new Japanese play which will be produced
by a prominent management early in the
fall. In adition, this versatile composer is
writing a. number of new songs for Fay
Templeton and the incidental music to
"Dorothy Vernon," Bertha Galland's new
play. Mr. Ellis is a strenuous worker and
doubtless will be able to fill with ease the
many important commissions entrusted to
him.
THE PEERLESS CO.'S ADVANCE.
The Peerless Publishing Co.'s business
has been on a steady increase. They have
a lot of new numbers that have made
sensational hits with singers arcl orchestra
leaders. The letters received praise pub-
lications like "Sadie Green," waltz song;
' M y Bessie's Wedding Day," ballad; "Be-
neath the Stars and Stripes," march song;
The Crown Music Co.
NEW YORK.
Miss Leah M. Barbe has been singing
two of Standish and Silberberg's numbers
with more than ordinary success in concert
and church work. For the former, Miss
Barbe sings "In Fancy, You Are Ever by
My Side," which has met much favor
through her charming rendition of it, and
for the latter "The Voice of Jehovah,"
which Miss Barbe has had translated into
Latin.
PICKED UP HERE AND THERE.
Gwlym Miles, the baritone, is using on
his concert tour four exquisite little songs,
which, though pleasing the popular taste,
are of the very highest grade of musical
composition. These songs are "A Little
Dutch Garden," and "Daddy and I," by
Harvey Worthington Loomis, a pupil of
Dvorak; "The Lily of the Valley," by Reed
Miller, and "A Little Dreaming by the
Way," a delicious song fragment by Paul
Laurence Dunbar and John Carrington.
In September a new musical comedy by
Basil Hood and Edward German is to be
produced at the Broadway Theatre by
John C. Fisher and Thomas W . Ryley,
who will then take it to London. The
same managers are to bring out "The
Medal and the Maid," the comic opera now
running at the Lyric Theatre, at the Broad-
way in January. The publishing rights are
still in abeyance.
J. Bodewalt Lampe has placed with M.
Witmark & Sons a characteristic piece for
band, orchestra or piano, entitled "Moon-
light on the Old Plantation," and a humor-
ous male quartette called "Bill of Fare."
Nau & Schmidt Music Co., of Milwau-
kee, Wis., recently devoted one of their
large show windows to the display of Cole
& Johnson Bros.' song, "Nobody's Lookin'
But the Owl and the Moon;" several owls
were perched in property trees and wink
electric eyes upon a pair of spooning lay
figures seated in a corner of the window'.
Signor Archambault, whose voice, by
the way, is one of the finest heard for 5 ears
in this country, is making the feature of
his concert repertoire two fine songs by
Hermann Devries, entitled "Si J'Etais
Dieu," the words of which are by Suljy
Frudhomme, and "Bon Jour Suzon," writ-
ten to De Musset's poem. Mr. Devries is
the composer and singer who was recently
honored by the French Academy with the
title of "Officer of Public Instruction."
At Young's Pier, Atlantic City, N. J., M.
Witmark & Sons have established a sum-
mer branch under the management of J.
A. Willard.
Sol Bloom is a leader in the production of
popular songs, and those now heard every-
where areHeelan and Helf's "The Boys in the
Gallery for Mine," "Good Morning, Glory,"
"Ev'ry Man Is a Volunteer;" also "Ring the
Bell and Let the Car Go On," "The Spirit of
'76," "There's Nobody Just Like You," "The
Girlie With the Baby Stare," "Sometime,
Someday, Somewhere," which are only a few
from one of the best catalogues in the coun-
try.
