Frank D. Pease and Wm. J. Butler, the re-
maining partners. This new combination is
a strong one, and the success already met
with by this firm will doubtless increase un-
der the new management.
A CLEVER COMPOSER.
It is with pleasure that we publish the pic-
ture of Miss Julia Smith, that charming-
young composer who has come to the front
so quickly. She is certainly meeting with
more than usual success in her coon songs,
which possess much musical merit. "Good-
bye, Tilly" and "I'm Living on Fifth Av-
have two good songs in "When the Whistle
Blows at Six" and "There's a Place in my
Heart for You, Too, Dear." The former
has a catchy waltz refrain and is being whis-
tled and sung all over the town. Lamson
and Lamson and Doty and Lynch are featur-
ing it with much success. The other num-
ber is one of the most beautiful descriptive
songs we have seen in some time, the words
telling of a mother's love for her son, are
very touching and the melody is in keeping
with them. Miss Jennie Homer has been
featuring it everywhere. Both songs have
very artistic slides.
A RISING PUBLISHER.
The picture that accompanies this article
is that of that clever young man, Joseph J.
Kaiser, the well-known publisher at 40 West
Twenty-eighth street. Since starting in the
music publishing business last July, Mr. Kai-
ser has moved right along in a prosperous
direction. He has published some popular
songs, such as "As Oft As the Pitcher Goes
to the Well," "Little Plain Gold Ring" and
"Big Tall Yaller Man," that have met with
RANDOM NOTES.
Harry Von Tilzer made a big hit at the
New York Theatre on Sunday night, when
he sang the chorus of "I Just Can't Help
from Lovin' dat Man" with Emma Cams.
Between them they got six encores and then
the people wanted more. That song is a
hit. Al Von Tilzer opened the show at the
Casino with it on Sunday night and Emma
Cams closed it.
We have received from Louis Say re, Au-
gusta, Ga., a copy of a spirited march enti-
tled "Chateau Le Vert," of which he is the
composer. Mr. Sayre has written several
good marches before, chief among which are
the "Lake View," "Philharmonic" and "Reg-
iment Band." To show how popular his com-
positions are, there were over a thousand
