understand that efforts have been made to im-
press upon the new government its extreme im-
portance. Whether room can be found for this
Cinderella among bills remains uncertain. We
trust that, should the present government be re-
turned to office after the general election, it will
not fail to restore to good order the conditions of
the music publishing world, so as to free it from
the existing anarchy, which 'forms a disgraceful
epoch in the history of English jurisprudence.' "
A crumb of comfort may be had in the hearing
of the most flagrant "piretes" in London—six of
them, including the printer. At its close the
magistrate "held that there was a prima facie
case against all the accused," who were accord-
ingly committed for trial at the Central Criminal
Court."
Foreign publishers are also suffering the evils
of unconscionable price cutting. According to ad-
vices, the state of the music trade in Italy is in
a somewhat deplorable condition. In many cases
the manufacturers sell at the same prices to
dealers and the public alike, apart from the very
considerable special discounts which the latter
obtain. Each manufacturer conducts his business
and regulates his prices regardless of the disas-
trous consequences which inevitably must ensue.
This sounds familiar, to say the least.
Edward Sass, of London, a brother-in-law of
George Edwardes, the well-known manager, has
been rehearsing a large American company, pre-
paratory to taking them from New York to South
Africa for a twenty-four weeks' tour of the prin-
cipal cities in musical comedies. The plays to
be presented, include "The Prince of Pilsen,"
"King Dodo," "Dolly Varden," "The Chaperons,"
"Wang," "The Mayor of Tokio," "The Idol's Eye"
and "The Little Duchess." Fred Eustis will be
the musical director. The company sail for Eng-
land to-day, Saturday, on the "Campania," and
from Liverpool for Cape Town. The tour will be-
gin in Johannesburg the second week in March.

No one in the song-writing world was better
known or liked than Paul Dresser, of the Paul
Dresser Publishing Co., who died Tuesday night,
of dropsy and a complication of diseases, a t the
home of his sister, Louise, 203 W. 106th street,
New York. The list of songs written by Paul
is a long and distinguished one, as that class of
music counts; some of his greatest successes
being "On the Banks of the Wabash," "The Blue
and the Gray," "Just Tell 'Em That You Saw
Me," "Dear Old Girl," etc. At one time the
deceased had acquired a comfortable fortune, but
he was liberal to a fault and his wealth melted
away, no one appealing to him, worthily or un-
worthily, in vain. He has been in the publish-
ing business for five or more years, and recently
with poor success. Mr. Dresser was also well
known in stage circles, and at benefits for the
Actors' Fund he took a prominent part. His
funeral was largely attended, a number of lead-
ing publishers being present.
