Bill to That Effect, Introduced in Italian Parlia-
ment Last Year, Making Progress.
According to dispatches from Rome, the bill
limiting the rights of composers of music, which
was introduced to the Italian Parliament last year
by Deputy Rosadi, is making considerable prog-
ress. The bill, which is signed by about 110
deputies, besides Rosadi, was accepted unanimous-
ly and the Government has consented to take it
into consideration. As may be remembered, this
project was hotly opposed last year by the music
publishers and by some of the leading composers.
It proposes to limit the monopoly of musical
works to ten years, after which the authors can
make arrangements with the publishers regarding
the future production of their compositions.
Hitherto the publishers had musical scores in their
for eighty years, to the detriment of art, as
Deputy Rosadi eloquently pointed out in his
speech, and to the advantage of the few over the
many. He also reminded the House that before
the publishers had set up a monopoly, that is to
say, in the days of free competition, Italy had its
golden age of music with such composers as Spon-
tini, Paisiello, Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti and others
of almost equal note.
WAS FIRST TO PLAY "DIXIE."
Death Last Week of C. M. Hattersley, Who
Played the Tune on a Piano While the Com-
poser Hummed It.
Charles M. Hattersley, a widely known musi-
cian of Trenton, N. J., and famous as the first man
who played "Dixie" on a piano, died in Trenton
yesterday. When a young man Mr. Hattersley
lived in New York, and while here Charles Em-
mett, the composer, hummed the new tune to him.
Mr. Hattersley at once played it by ear and, after
the notes had been written down, the melody
spread like wildfire.

This is without doubt
the first high-grade col-
lection of standard dances
ever published and will
undoubtedly be much ap-
preciated by violinists,
not only because of the
superiority of its con-
tents, but also because
evefy number has been
especially arranged and
placed in the first posi-
tion, so that it is within
the grasp of the average
player. Price, violin and
piano, 75 cents.
CHINESE IDEA OF WAGNER'S MUSIC.
Probably the funniest opinion ever expressed on
Wagner's Ring of the Nibelung was that of the
Chinese Ambassador in Berlin. He had been per-
suaded to go to Bayreuth in 1876, as Malwida von
Meysenbug relates, in the expectation of seeing
and hearing something very remarkable. When
asked on his return how he had liked it, re re-
plied with a look of pity: "It was quite pretty,
but the music surely is for women and children
rather than for men."

ORDERS FOR
Among the successful musical numbers in
Julian Eltinge's show, "The Fascinating Widow,"
which opened at Atlantic City this week for its
second season, were "Merry Wedding Bells" and
"Something I Can't Explain," both of which songs
were written especially for the clever female im-
personator by Jean Schwartz and are published
by the Jerome & Schwartz Publishing Co.
Jerome & Schwartz's songs are certainly re-
ceiving a "boost" in the able hands of that well-
known team, Harry Miller and Clint -Draper, pop-
ularly billed as the "Imperial Minstrels." They
are putting over with great success ''If It Wasn't
for the Irish and the Jews," "I Love to Hear an
Irish Band," "In Banjo Land" and "The Barber's
Bear." Miller and Draper are now playing all
the leading houses on the Western coast, as far
west as San Francisco.
