the list is a long one—but personally as an agree-
able, companionable gentleman, whom it is a
pleasure to meet, consequently he has been over-
whelmed with congratulations from all parts of
the country on his double good fortune, of which
the lady herself is considered of chief value by
her happy husband. Gus will continue right
along in his chosen profession, of which he is one
of the brightest ornamenis, though possibly few
know what close study he has given music, and
at the hand of the best equipped teachers. The
Review adds its felicitations with pleasure.

Papers were secured Monday week in the suit
of Willis Woodward & Co. against the Paul Dres-
ser Publishing Co., the complainant claiming
$10,000 damages for alleged fraudulent and mis-
leading statements in connection with a contract
between the two companies, in the sale of the de-
fendant's music to the trade. The suit is brought
in the New York Supreme Court, first depart-
ment, and is one of three contemplated by the
plaintiffs.
The Gremsen-Seaman Co. have been organized
in La Crosse, Wis., to publish the music written
by Harry Gremsen and Louis Seaman, the pro-
prietors. Mr. Seaman is manager of the North
American Telegraph Co., of that city, while Mr.
Gremsen is a composer of some local celebrity,
having written "Daisies," "Mother," "'School
Days" and the "Message of the Dove."
Wednesday of last week Gus Edwards, of the
Gus Edwards Publishing Co. (the "House Melo-
dious"), was married at the City Hall, New York,
lo Mrs. Lily Bleiman, who is credited with pos-
sessing a fortune of half a million dollars. Every-
body knows Gus, not only as a writer of many
successful compositions in the lighter vein—and
George Rosey's "Juggler" march has apparently
developed into a two-step the dancing public has

upon all terpsichorean occasions is inevitable, and
(he sale of this tuneful composition has certainly
come up to the most sanguine expectations of the
publishers. Mr. Rosey is at present working
upon a new waltz, on the order of his famous
"Espanita."

SOL BLOOM'S SONG SUCCESSES.
One of the best known Irish talking and sing-
ing acts in the business is that of Daly & O'Brien,
in which Kitty O'Brien, who is the female half of
the team, warbles a number of Sol Bloom's pub-
lications, including S. Clarence Engel's Hibernian
hymn, "Cleopatra Slattery."
Anna Laughlin, whose fame as the "Kansas
Kid" in the "Wizard of Oz," has penetrated to the
uttermost corners of the country, has recently
made a very successful step from musical comedy
to vaudeville, and is using very successfully Ray-
mond A. Browne and Henry Clay Smith's dainty
ditty, "Come Back," which is published by Sol
Bloom.-
Emma Carus, who is probably the best known
female baritone in the United States, having
been the principal member of such companies as
the "Medal and the Maid," "Woodland," etc., has
gone back to vaudeville, and is featuring with
great success Sol Bloom's publications, ''I Wants
a Man to Love Me All the Time" and "Carissima,"
the first of which was written by Raymond A.
Browne, and the latter by Arthur A. Penn.
DEATH OF A. F. STEIBER.
A. F. Steiber, for twenty-five years manager of
the Chicago branch of the White-Smith Music
Publishing Co., died November 8 at his home in
that city. His death, which was extremely sud-
den and unexpected, was due to pneumonia. He
had a big following of friends, who extremely re-
gret the passing away of this popular gentleman.
John T. Imbrie, who for a time was engaged in
the music business, died at St. Joseph, Mo., No-
vember 15. He was sixty years of age.
