CIVIL WAR SONGWRITER HONORED
Monument Erected in Middletown, Conn., to
Memory of Henry Clay Work
MIDDLETOWN, CONN., September 10,—A monu-
ment to the memory of Henry Clay Work, a
native of Middletown, author of the Civil War
song "Marching Through Georgia" and com-
poser of other well known songs, was dedicated
here to-day. The memorial was erected by
public subscriptions.
In addition to "Marching Through Georgia"
Mr. Work was also responsible for songs of
various types that became more or less suc-
cessful and which included the temperance ditty:
"Father, Dear Father, Come Home With Me
Now," "Babylon Is Falling," "My Grandfather's
Clock," "Kingdom Coming."

HAVE YOU GOT THESE?
THAT E. T. Lee, the well-known sheet music
dealer of Minneapolis, Minn., has again been
heard from by one of the local publishers. Mr.
Lee sent in one of his usual orders.
THAT Raymond Hubbell has finished the music
to "Butterfly, I'm Coming Back to You," which
is announced as the sequel to last year's sensa-
tional success "Poor Butterfly." The lyric was
sent to Mr. Hubbell from an anonymous writer.
THAT all the jokes that were unearthed re-
garding the number and unsalability of patriotic
songs which were published in the last year
seem very poor now that there are at least six
such numbers either hits or bordering on the
hit class.
THAT it is understood the Music Publishers'
Protective Association is having some real lively
meetings.
THAT at one of the recent meetings of the
above body the session became quite heated as
a result of charges which were flung back and
forth to the evident delight of everyone present.
THAT it should be expected that an associa-
tion which has tackled such a big and bene-
ficial work would pass through some stormy
periods.
THAT the small publishers who expected won-
derful demands for their songs from the pro-
fessional singers by joining the organization
now find that there is just as much work in plac-
ing their numbers under the new conditions even
if the expense is not as great.
MUSIC TREASURES DISTRIBUTED
Valuable Library of Musical Works Collected
by Adelaide Phillips Divided Between Boston
Public Library and the Library of the New
England Conservatory of Music
BOSTON, MASS., September 10.—The library of
musical works collected by that famous operatic
contralto, Adelaide Phillips—(1833-1882)—has
just been divided between the Allen A. Brown
department at the Boston Public Library and
the library of the New England Conservatory
of Music.
Miss Phillips was an exceptionally competent
student of Italian opera, and during her life col-
lected numerous scores of the classic Italian and
French operas, songs in several languages and
works belonging to the general literature of
music. Some of these are quite rare, and they
were kept religiously and in good condition.
One of the family has allowed this rare col-
lection to be divided, the Conservatory receiv-
ing especially those scores and songs likely to
be useful to music students, the Public Library
retaining the larger share of the works.
Miss Mary Alden Thayer, librarian at the
Conservatory, has been cataloguing the portion
coming to her department, and she finds scores
of many operas popular in the days of Miss
Phillips' great success in America and Europe.
Included are "I Lombardi" and "Due Fos-
cari" of Giuseppi Verdi; Rossini's "Semiramide,"
in which Miss Phillips made her debut in
Brescia; Donizetti's "La Favorita"; Audran's
"La Mascotte"; Meyerbeer's "II Profeta" and
many others. Among several oratorios is a
good copy of Prof. John Knowles Paine's "The
Nativity," which Miss Phillips sang with the
Handel and Haydn Society in Boston in 1874.

KARCZAG CO. STARTS CAMPAIGN
Prominent Publishers Have Many Interesting
Things to Offer for New Season
The fall campaign of the Karczag Publishing
Co., Inc., is now under way; the song successes
of the firm as well as the musical number from
the operettas which they will publish will all be
featured. Among the songs that will be in the
limelight will be "A Tear, a Kiss, a Smile,"
and "That's Why My Heart Is Calling You,"
two high-class ballads by Otto Motzan. They
will also push their instrumental catalog.
"Cutey," a one-step, is already being played by
the leading dance orchestra, and the big fox-trot
success "It's a Pipp'n" will no doubt be pub-
lished with lyrics, which will add to its growing
popularity.

McKINLEY MUSIC CO.
H.
Remick, Detroit music publisher, is planning
the biggest year in its history. It is going after
business with new vim and will have more songs
than ever to offer the public. The songs with
the military touch seem to have the preference
at the present time, and it is generally believed
that throughout the war the public will take to
selections with a sort of military air.
