is the outside comment, though everyone whose
songs appear in the foregoing list hold up their
hands in holy horror at the bare suggestion.
When Sol Bloom, the whilom publisher, New
York, was petitioned into bankruptcy last month,
the receiver was allowed to continue the busi-
ness for twenty days. On April 23 the United
States District Court, on request, granted a fur-
ther continuance of thirty days, stating the al-
leged bankrupt would in that time doubtless ob-
tain the unanimous consent of the creditors for
his discharge. Mr. Bloom acknowledges an in-
debtedness of $25,000, of whicli $15,000 had
given their consents, the remainder apparently
being obdurate. It requires the signatures of the
entire body of creditors to secure a discharge in
bankruptcy, unless those declaring are bought
off or their claims paid in full. On April 2G an
order was signed by Judge Hough to allow the
receiver to arrange for the payment of taxes, as
dispossess proceedings had been instituted by the
owner of the property because this part of the
lease, that runs for 18 years, had been defaulted.
Last Friday evening Victor Herbert, the cele-
brated composer, was the guest at a dinner given
by The Friars, an association or organization or
club or something of that kind, whose member-
ship is confined to the press agents or newspaper
representatives of theatres, shows or individuals
in that line who contract for warm atmosphere
in print. It was the opening of their headquar-
ters, hence the jollification, to which the genial
composer contributed not a little enjoyment. Isi-
dore Witmark, of M. Witmark & Sons, was the
only publisher present.

REVIEW
Ditson went to Boston to attend the services. A
full account of the life and distinguished career
of the deceased appears in the regular depart-
ment of The Review.
Mose Gumble, manager of the professional de-
partment of Jerome H. Remick & Co., New York,
went abroad Wednesday on the steamer "Baltic,"
of the White Star line. He will be away several
weeks. "Clarice Vance," the popular vaudeville
singer, who is Mrs. Gumble in private life, ac-
companies her husband on this pleasure trip.
Mose and his estimable wife have the good wishes
of everybody on their journey—a perpetual
honeymoon, as it were.
At the Actors' Fund Fair, held all week at the
Metropolitan Opera House, New York, and which
closes to-night (Saturday), the music publishers
had a special booth, each house having a half
hour daily to demonstrate their songs. The pro-
ceeds were devoted to the fund. Quite a generous
amount was realized.

REMICK & CO.'S SCORING NUMBERS.
"San Antonio," the cowboy song hit, is having
a tremendous play just now. It is a feature
number with the George Sidney show, with Hap
Ward's show, and with "Tom, Dick and Harry."
J. A. Driscoll used the song as an added attrac-
tion with "Chinatown Charlie." Gus Edwards
features the number in costume with his "School
Boys and Girls," a headline act in vaudeville;
Mayme Gehrue scores with the number in her
new act; Mayme Remington makes it a special
feature with her "Picks"; The Doherty Sisters,
Chas. Burke and company, Ethel Levey, Baby
Zena Keife, Roberts, Hayes and Roberts, all
write the publishers that the song is a knockout
for them, and every day brings new reports of
its success.
Violet Carleton Canfield writes the publishers
that she has used "Somebody's Waiting for You"
every week since the song was written, and that
it never fails to score a hit for her. Conlon &
Hastings, Mazzato, Richy W. Craig, Mitchell and
Caine, Liilian Perry, Dorothy Kent, Cecilia
Weston, are a few of the many who have written
enthusiastic letters in praise of the number.
"He Never Even Said Good-Bye," Al. Gumble's
new coon song, is making long strides toward
popular favor.
One of the rumors which some of the publish-
ers absolutely believe, is that A. H. Goetting, the
jobber of Springfield, Mass., has formed a third
combination with two prominent publishers to
"improve trade conditions." As Mr. Goetting
controls over twenty-five department stores, is
generally regarded as a pretty cool proposition,
and is in the books as the "angel" of financially
