.sTHE SWEET BYE AND BYE"
Its Origin and First Publication by
Men who Scorned 1t.
From the New York suI

From the New York Sun.
There recently appeared in a western
newspaper an article regarding 1.-THE
Sweet Bye and Bye" containing many
absurd statements. Now the interest in
this song is awakened, I wish to make
public the circumstances of it's inception
and subsequent publication and the way
in which it became popular.
A. P. Webster, the composer of the
music was by no means unknown to the
public at the time the song was publish
ed. He had won great popularity with his
"Lorena," Paul Vane" Little Maud"
These had been published at Chicago by
II. NJ Higgins. who, with the writer. then
a boy of y years, created a sale for them
bv singing them for acquaintances and
customers who came to purchase music.
AT that time, IN the early sixties. Web
ster lived at the little town of Elkhorn,
Wis, and about twice each year he would
come to Chicago with roll of manuscript
songs. These were usually written with
a pencil and in a hasty, scrawling manner,
though the notes were always legible. The
songs he offered for sale at S25 each, and
the publisher would select what he thought
would sell, and either pay him or agree
to pay royalty. My recollection is that
paul Vane," "Lorena," and Little
Maud" were published on the royalty plan
Webstor's appearance as he came into the
store was most uncommon. He wore his
