Among the artists who visited the laboratory of
the Pathe Freres Phonograph Co., 29 West Thirty-
eighth street, New York, to record for the Pathe
disc library were Helen Louise and Frank Ferera,
comprising a Hawaiian troupe of great popularity.
These artists spent quite some time at the Pathe

will be announced in the near future.

needles, and it is expected to be in full working
order the early part of October, when it is planned

FRANCISCO, CAL., September
24—E'. P.
Little, manager of the music department of Sher-
man, Clay & Co., states that he has just ascerta : ned
through a representative of one of the large trans-
continental railroads that on October 18 a new
tariff will go into effect that will make it possible
to ship sheet music at the same rate as books, i. e.,
at $2 per hundred pounds, instead of $3.70 as for-
merly. The new rate will mean a great saving to
the music dealers of the far West and will be
greatly appreciated.
At its recent convention in New York the
National Association of Sheet Music Dealers, of
which Mr. Little is a member, made a strong pro-
test against the present rates on sheet music as
compared to that charged on other goods, and
planned a strong campaign in that connection.

ploitation of Recent Popular Numbers Just

What is probably the most attractive catalog of
popular music that has yet made its appearance in
the trade is that issued last week by Leo Feist,
Inc., and in which is featured the four great Feist
songs of the season, as well as other seasonable
successes of that house, such as "T Want to Go
to Tokio," "When It's Moonlight in Mayo," "My
Own Venetian Rose," "Beatrice Fairfax, Tell Me
What to Do," "Down Among the Sheltering
Palms," and several other songs and instrumental
numbers. The booklet acts as an introduction to
the Feist staff of writers, and in addition to the
thematic of a song and a reproduction of the title,
each page bears in the tipper corner the portrait
of some prominent song writer, followed by a
paragraph or two, signed, regarding his expe-
riences in song writing. In the general lay-out, the
printing in two colors and general attractiveness
the catalog will be hard to surpass.
