Annie Laurie.

Annie Laurie was real person
age, the daughter Of Sir Robert
Laurie of Maxwelton. The we'll
known song bearing her name was
written by William Douglas when
desperately in love with her. Meet
ing Annie at ball in Edinburgh,
Douglas became wildly enamored Of
her; but, owing to his fathers bitter
opposition and the political intrigue
which caused him to fee the coun-

the productinon of the immorta!

JADE CARVINGS.
Twenty Years Sometimes Spent on .
Single Piece Of Work.

SuuSs0 sVS0 W vvOVNs
The high standing Of jade is
no modern thing. The primitive
weights and measures of the Chi
nese world were computed from
jade tubes, and the earliest bars or
intervals of music known to that
nation were determined by hollow
bamboo canes of accurate length,
afterward pcrpetuatcd in jade tubes
having stops within to be pulled out
at the will of the player.
The Spaniards and Mcxicans have
as great respect for the stone as the
Chinese, and they regard it as an
amulet against disease. In some in
stances the finder of a piece of jade
was supposed to be endowed with
supernatural powers, such a piece
being regarded as holy thing fall
en- from heaven.
The Chinese value their jade
carvings so highly that they cannot
often be prevailed upon to part with
them, though in times of national
calamity, suc|, as the elimination Of
the war between Japan and China,
western importers and jewelers. had
chance to buy some of the treas
ures, says Harpcr's Weekly.
When an unusually large piece of
jade is found in China the emperor
calls a council of the artists of his
dominions to determine into What
shape it had best be carved, as, cw-
ing to its extreme hardness, the
form selected must follow somewhat
the outline indicated by the natural
formation of the specimen.
The artist chosen to perform the
delicate task is not altogether to be
cnvicd. 1t is true that if he sue
ceeds he will be made a mandarin,
but success depends upon his work
being approved after it has been
subjected to public criticism for a
whole year. If at the end of that
time his work should be condemned
his reputation as an artist is IRE
trievably lost.
The task itself is no light one.
With thin piece of finely temper
ed brass wire the artist may work
for week without having anything
to show for his pains. Twenty years
have not been considered too long
for single piece of carving.
Much jade now comes from New
Zealand, where many supcrstitions
attach to it. Grotesquc figures Of
jade having glaring rcd eyes are
worn on the breasts of warriors in
the North island. Hatchets, sabcre
and daggers of jade are owned by
every eastern soldier of rank, to b.
handed down as precious hcirlooms
to his descendants.

YOUNGER MEN NEEDED.
Gen. Aleshire's Recommendation for
National Cemetery Superinttud.nts.

An increase in the number of officers
and of post quartermaster sergeants in
the quartermaster's department and the
establishment of a service corps are the
principal recommendations made in the
annual report Of Quartermaster General
Aleshire. made public today. Heretofore
appointments as superintendent of the
seventy-six national cemeteries have been
limited to civil war veterans. Gen. Ale
shire says that the practice is not re-
quired by law, however. and because "of
the advancing age of these veterans it is
thought advisable to make departure
from this custom and to appoint younger
men to these positions in the future.
During the past fiscal year cast iron
tablets fifty-six inches high by thirty
three inches wide. containing the words
of the Gettysburg address of the late
President Lincoln, were placed in posi-
ton on the lodges at seventytve of the
national cemeteries and on iron stand
ards at two of the national cemeteries
which have no lodges.
THE need of some provision for super
animated clerks" says the quartermaster
general lis more pressing Than ever be-
fore in the history of the department.
During the year il has again become nee
essary to denote a number of deserving
clerks for causes which can be stated
only as worn out in service. FOR the
protection of the governments interests
it will be necessary to continue this ac-
ton and even to take the final step OF
discharging those whose capacity for
service las reached the point where their
retention can be no longer justified, and
thew will. unless some provision is made
fer them by legislative action, have to be
set adrift under conditions which pre-
clude every opportunity for obtaining re-
munerative employment elsewhere.

A mass meeting at Old Germantown
last evening marked the opening of the
dem ocratic congressional campaign in
Montgomery county. a large gathering

ed enthusiasm.

speaking at Damascus, Rockville. Travi-
lah, Kensington, Colesville, Chevy Chase
and Pooesville in the order named. The
Rockville meeting, which will be the
big meeting of the campaign, will be in
the afternoon, and the others at night.
In discussing the situation in the dis
trict today, Mr.. Lewis expressed himself
as confident of being elected. He said
that Allegany county would give him a
much larger majority than it did two
years ago, when he carried that county
over Representative Pearre by more than
two hundred. and that Washington
county would roll up not less than three
hundred democratic majority. Condi-
tons in Garrett and Frederick counties,
he said. are NATURAL but he expects
Montgomery county to beat by several
hundred the majority of S73 it gave him
over Col. Pearre two years ago. Mr.
Lewis places his majority in the district
at not less than 800.
The committee appointed at the recent
annual meeting of Ridgley Brown Camp
of Confederate Veterans of this county to
collect money for the erection at Rock
Vile of monument to tee Confederate
dead of the county has begun the work
of soliciting subscriptions. and reports
satisfactory progress. 1t is not thought
any difficulty will be experienced in rails
ing the $1,000 necessary, and the early
erection of the monument on the Court
house square is said to be assured.
Bessie Gibbs, young colored woman
of this place, was adjudged guilty by
Justice Reading in the police court here
yesterday afternoon of disturbing the
peace and quiet of Rockville, and was
fined So and costs.
William Budd, colored, pleaded guilty
to a charge of disturbing religious wor-
ship at church near Sandy Spring about
year ago. and was fined $40 and costs
