Copyright legislation is again to the front in
Prance, and in connection with this discussion
stress is laid upon the statement that in the
"'United States the system of international copy-
right is quite unduly complicated and expensive."
This observation may apply to certain literary
efforts possibly, but the music composer or the
publisher controlling the work, which is more to
the point, confer the publishing privilege in such
a manner that the American publisher registers
the title in his own name, and thereby avoids
complications. A bill amending the present law
has been Introduced in the Chamber of Deputies.
A eong has been written on the subject of the
raid and misbehavior of United States colored
troops when stationed at Brownsville, Texas. It
is anything but a pleasant occurrence to preserve
in music, but there is no accounting for tastes,
even in the moving cause of a melody. A local
critic, however, says: "The chorus is a fine appeal
to the nobler traits of American patriotism, and
the music is said by competent experts to be un-
usually substantial and well written."
Paul Lincke, who is loved and revered by the
people of Germany as Victor Herbert is in this
country, was recently a passenger on the "Kaiser
Wilhelm II," on his return to Europe, and direct-
ed the concert given by the ship's orchestra for
the fund of the widows and orphans of sailors.
The orchestral numbers were selected from Mr.
Lincke's own compositions.
A cable states, under date of June 8, from
London, England, that the adaptation into Eng-
lish of "Die Lustige Witwe," under the title of
"The Merry Widow," has apparently not robbed
the piece of the elements which made it a great
success at Vienna, and its reception to-night at
Daly's Theater was enthusiastic. The music was
full of catchy numbers. One waltz in particular,
which became a craze on the Continent, threatens
to have the same effect in London.
The Music Students' Library is a series of
educational text-books suited to the requirements
of the average student. It contains ten hooks,
and each one is a thorough and practical guide
to the subject in question. The books are bound
in cloth. Published by the Oliver Ditson Co.,
Boston.

'METROPOLITAN OPERATIC SERIES."
The handsomest and most thoroughly salable
set of sheet publications on the market, it is
claimed, has just been issued by the enterprising
house of Joseph W. Stern & Co. It comprises a
complete collection of all the favorite airs from
the standard operas arranged for the piano, and
in both selection and arrangement it is spoken
of as far ahead of anything that has been at-
tempted in this line. Every piece has been pre-
pared so that it lies within the scope of the ordi-
nary player, at the same time preserving care-
fully the musical effects sought by the composer
in the original operatic score. This manner of
work could only be effected by experienced and
