MONUMENTJO GRIEG.
Life-Size Bronze Bust of Famous Norwegian
Composer Unveiled in Brooklyn, N. Y.
A monument to the Norwegian composer, Ed-
vard Hagerup Grieg, was dedicated last Saturday
afternoon at the Flower Garden in Prospect Park,
Brooklyn. It consists of a life-size bronze bust on
a granite pedestal, and is placed in a group of sim-
ilar memorials to poets, writers and musicians at
the head of the larger lake. The monument was
presented to the city by the Norwegian societies of
Brooklyn. The ceremonies of unveiling were at-
tended by 3,000 persons.
Grieg was born at Bergen, Norway, June 15,
1843. He studied music at Leipsic, and later with
Liszt, to whom he dedicated his "Foran Sydens
Kloster." Of his most important compositions the
"Peer Gynt Suite" is perhaps the most widely
kno.wn, and of his smaller works the short piano
compositions are popular.

THAT the proposed war against those engaged
in the mechanical reproduction of music has
reached the point where one publisher actually an-

BERLIN WRITINQJtAGTIME OPERA.
According to reports, Irving Berlin is at the
present time working on an ambitious comic opera,
all of the music of which is in ragtime, and the
piece is to be produced in the fall by Charles
Dillingham. Inasmuch as Berlin cannot, according
to reports, read or write music, the proposition o.f
•turning out a full-fledged comic opera is no small
one.
The Steller-Winson Piano Co., Ottumwa, 111.,
will open, August 1, at 219 East Main street.
WHAT MUSIC REALLY CONSISTS OF.
Interesting Definition by Life, Which Serves
to Clear Up Some Mysteries.
"Music," according to the definition of Life, "is
a job lot of vibrations manufactured under the
auspices of a labor union and furnished to hotels
and restaurants fo.r the purpose of adding to the
discomfort of the guests. Music is also used for
other purposes. It comes in pianos, harps and
organs, and sometimes, though rarely, in human
beings and phonographs. Babies often furnish
music when least expected and at hours not always
approved of by respectable and God-fearing people.
Music at one time was called a heavenly maid.
But she is now mostly clothed in ragtime and is
known as Flossy. In short, music has run the
scale from classic to classy. Like eggs and other
historic back numbers, music is now kept in cold
storage and comes in reels and cans. Hand-made
music is gradually being superseded by the factory-
made article."
