Laurie, Annie Lauries father, and was
personally acquainted with her and her
father, and also with the author Of the
song. Knowing these facts have been
requested by my friends to give the pub
lie the benefit Of my knowledge, which
have consented TO do. Annie laurie was
born In 1927, and was about II years old
when the incident occurred which gave
rise to tho song bearing her name. James
Laurie, Annie Laurie's father, was q
farmer, who lived and owned q very
large farm called Traglestown, In Dunn
friesshire, Scotland. He hired q great
deal Of help, and among those that he
employed was man by the name OF
Wallace to act as foreman, and while In
his employ Mr.. Wallace fell in love with
Annie Laurie, which fact her father soon
learned and forthwith discharged him.
He went TO his home, which was I'm Max
welton, and was taken sick the very
night he reached there, and tho next
morning, when Annie laurie heard Of 10,
she came to his bedside and waited on
him until ho died, and on his death bed
he composed tho song entitled "Annie

The Program Indicates - Busy Time
Tor Law VI skers.
WASHINGTON, April 4.-According to
the present program OF the leaders Of the
majority the tariff question will be prac-
ticaily the only matter under considera-
tion ia the house during the coming week,
and at its close two or possibly three,
separate tariff bills will have been trans
ferred to the senate. The wool and wool
ems bills Is rapidly nearing final vote.
General debate has ceased und the parlis-
mentary stage has been reached where the
Eve minutes limitation applies to debate
by aAy one member with reference to any
paragraph of the bill or any proposed
amendment. There has been some talk
that the bill would be passed today by
two-thirds vote under suspension OF the
rules, but this will not be attempted, as all
opportunity for amendment will thereby
be cut OF The Republican minority
has large number Of substantial amend
ments to offer aud an opportunity to dis
euss and vote upon these and other
amendments will be freely offered.
1t Is therefore probable that the wool bill
will not come TO final vote until Tues
day afternoon at the earliest. The bind
ing twine bill will follow the wool bill. IL
Is believed by the speaker that few hours
OF general debate on each side will suffice
to bring this measure to vote, and that
perhaps II can be acted on in season to
permit the cotton bagging bill to be taken
up before the week closes Unless there
should be a disposition to debate the bind
ing twine or bagging bills at considerable
length the appropriation bills will be suf-
fered to wait upon the tariff bills. With
the possible exception Of the urgency def
cheney appropriation bill none OF them are
likely to be taken up this week.
The Indian appropriation bill is ex-
pected to come up in the senate this after
noon, and 1t is believed the bill can be
passed ia half an hour. Then Mr.. Nor
gan's resolutions are to be called up and
the senate Is to enter upon a thorough dis
cussion OF the silver question rs we'll as Of
the depression which is asserted to exist
In agriculture. Mr.. Morgan will open the
debate, which will doubtless occupy the
entire week.

tion OF overseer of weaving. His help
presented him with a handsome gold
watch and chain, and were entertained at
wslch Bros. after the presentation.
The Supervisors.
The Republicans. have appointed the
Supervisors for the election of next We'd
nesday, and, in the selection Of the repre-
sentatives Of their party, have picked out
men holding positions in mills, etc, TO
intimidate the voters.
The Democratic voters should assert
their manhood and allow no one, whether
he Is their overseer or not, to dictate to
them or influence them in marking their
ballots.
The Winning Ticket.
Here is printed the nominees OF the
Democratic party for Senator and Repre-
sentativss. They are all good men and

able representatives Of the people:

They Got Discouraged.
The Democrats of Manville held a grand
rally on Thursday of last week i'm Vol
sard's Hall. The Republicans had one
billed for Saturday evening, but the Dem
ocratic rally held two days before had
such an effect on the people that the Re

A DRY SUNDAY IN NEW YORK
All saloons Closed and an Extra Force
of Omcers on Duty.

All saloons Closed and an Extra Force
of Omcers on Duty.
New YORK, April At was difficult to
find saloon IN this city to which admit
tance could be gained yesterday. The few
that did admit customers through side
doors or rear entrances had "look-outs"
stationed outside. and no one who was not
well known could get in. The most fire.
quented places down town were closed
tight, and men might be seen singly and
in groups going from saloon to saloon in
vain search for drink. 1t was probably
the dryest Sunday New York has ever
seen. Most of the hotel bars were closed,
but in some of them drinks were served
with crackers and cheese at tables. DR.
Parkhurst's agents were out in force as
usual but it is doubtful If they secured
much evidence. There was also larger
number than usual Of policemen in citi
Zen's clothes going from saloon to saloon,
but they were able to make but few ar
rests. One down town saloon keeper,
whose place had not been closed before for
years, said: "Our closing today is not due
to the action of the police. 1t is con
certel plan In great measure, and il the
people can stand it, we can. DIR. Park
hurst, believe. will find out that the
people know better what they want than
he does, and IL the people go dry few
Sundays think that such howl will
arise ~ will result in some satisfactory
law permitting us to keep open during
certain hours on Sunday"
Notwithstanding this, 1t is said that the
general closing of the saloons mt lo o'clock
Saturday night and during Sunday is due
to the fact that the police notified the
saloon keepers that they must close.
Rev. DR. Parkhurst, in his sermon yes
terday, made no reference to the munich

Chief Inspector Coulter Of Boston has
had Inspector Gerraughty looking for the
