A BIG THING FOR THE TRADE
The Wonder Self-Composer
(PATENT APPLIED FOR)
Not a toy, but a remarkable invention by which any
person can write hundreds of different marches (two-
step) for piano or organ without previous knowledge
of musical composition. Read what great composers
sav about it:
JOHN PHILIP SOUSA :
<(
It is an unique and marvelous in-
vention."
ALES5ANDR0 LIBERATI:
" I congratulate the inventor. The
SELF-COMPOSER is all that is claimed
for it."
FRED N. INNES:
" The most clever musical device I
have ever seen."
D. W . REEVES:
"An instructive and meritorious in-
vention that should create a large
demand."

T. C. Heffner has opened a music store

Mr. Heffner has long been connected with
the piano business in various capacities.

Mehlin piano as his leader.

piano salesmen, is now connected with the
retail piano department of Lyon & Healy.
This week's report at the Behr Bros, fac-
tory shows healthy activity in the matter
of advance orders for fall trade. The
whole force is at work.
It is with some regret that we learn of
the serious illness of Mrs. P. J: Healy of
Chicago.

From the Jennings Music Co., of 902
Walnut street, Philadelphia, we are in
receipt of two songs, entitled "Don't Say
Good-bye" and ''Somebody's Dream is
O'er." The former is a very charming
ballad; to John C. Hagan's excellent verse
J. C. Schmid has written a captivating
melody, which is arranged with unusual
effectiveness.
"Somebody's Dream is O'er" is a ballad
of the more popular order. The words,
by Thomas G. O'Donoghue, are healtfiy in
sentiment, and the music, which is also by
Mr. Schmid, is very creditable. Both
songs are being sung by a number of pro-
fessionals. They should find a large
clientele of admirers.
