GaeIfeAFottbaII Controversy.
The William NJ. Barry Association is
scheduled to play the John Mitchells of
New York at Ridgewood, on Sunday. in
a game to settle the controversy regard
ing the last game which the Barrys won,
and with it their right to play the final
game with the Garryowens for the cham
pionship of the Gaelic League. The Bar
rvs declare there was no possible reason
for the Council to order the game play
ed over except to down the Jerseymen
and prevent their winning the prize
which the Barrys can do, as there is
nothing in the Gaelic League that can
compare with them in skill. At the meet
ing of the Council the Mitchells declared
a foul was committed, but the members
of the Barry team denied this, as did
Referee O'Donnel. who declared he was
close to the ball when the Barrys made
their goal, and there was not the least
sign of a foul His statement did not
count, however, as the League was de-
termined to sresort to every effort to
prevent, by every possible means, the
championship of the Gaelic League from
crossing the Hudson. The BarryS are
undecided whether to play the game on
Sunday or not. They feel satisfied should
the team win again hat some scheme
will be concocted whereby the Council
will have the game thrown out again.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 2o.-The
National capital was wholly given over
to-day to celebrating the one hundred and
slXty-fourth anniversary of the birth of
the city's founder and in whose honor it
was named. There were imposing mill
tary parades extending along Penusyl-
vanla avenue from the Capitol past the
Whlte House morning and afternoon, and
in which all the District of Columbia
militia participated. The Cycle Corps.
with days rations and twenty rounds of
cartridges, demonstrated the adaptabiIitv
OF the bicycle to military purposes bv
throwing skirmish line ten miles up the
Potomac River, where a sham battle was
held. Troop A of the local militia rode To
Brightwood, four or five miles from the
city, returning in time for the afternoon
parade.
All the executive departments were, of
course, closed. As part of the general
celebration DR.. ]. NJ. Toner entertained
the Washington Monument Society at
luncheon and received large number of
distinguished persons. The annual meet
ing of the society, held at DR.. Toner'S resi-
dence, resulted in the reelection of all the
officers.
AS it was publicly known that the ordi-
nary legislative proceedings in the Senate
were to be dispensed with to-day and that
the day was to be devoted to the memory
of the father of his country, the galleries
of the Senate were early crowded with
spectators. The opening prayer was de-
livered by Rev. Wallace Radcllff, DID,,
pastor of the New York-avenue Presbyte-
| Fian Church-the church attended by both
the Viee-President and the President of
the Senate pro tenn. He offered special
| thanks to GOD ''for him whose name is in
all hearts to-day. for the inheritance of his
memory and for the inspiration of his life
and example,"
The reading of Thursdays journal wa
dispensed with and the Vice -Presid ent an
nounced that, under the resolution of the
Senate, the farewell address of President
Washington would be read by the Presi-
dent of the Senate pro tenn, the Senator
from Maine (Frye). Taking position at
the clerks desk, Frye commenced in
clear, strong voice and with perfectly
accentuated delivery to read the farewell
address The reading occupied three
quarters of an hour, and when it was
ended the thanks of the Senate were, on
motion of Gray CD of Delaware, given to
the reader and then the Senate at II :55
adjourned until Monday.

NYE'S CdREER.
From Latcyer He Became a Celebrated
Halnortst.

From q LdtCyer He Became Celebrated
Hlmorist.
Edgar Wilson Nye was born in Shirley,
Piscataqua County, Me-, August %, 1850.
He was, educated in an academy at River
Falls, Wis. Soon after his graduation he
removed to Wyoming Territory, studied
law and was admitted to the bar in 1876
He began early to contribute humorous
sketches to the newspapers, using the pen
name of "Bill Nye." He was connected
with various Western journals, and after
ward settled in New York City, He pub
lished "Bill Nye and the Boomerang" in
1881; "The Forty Liars" 1888; "Bailed
Hay" 1884; "Bill Nye's Blossom Rock"
1885, and Remarks" 1886.
"Bill' Nye. as the world knew him, had
few equals as a humorist and many imita-
tors. For years his syndicate letters and
publications yielded an annual revenue of
not less than $4,000, while the proceeds
from his lectures netted about $4,000
more. About seven years ago he took up
his abode in a magnificent residence on
Staten Island, where he lived with his
wife and four children when not on lectur-
ing tours. Later he moved to the South
Carolina home, where he died.
Behind his fund of hum or there was
seriousness in Mr.. Nye's composition
which very few fully understood. During
visit in San Francisco some six years
ago he told an interviewer that it was his
intention to cease his career as a humorist
as soon as an opportunity presented itself
After many years of travel the practice of
the public to regard all he said as joke
had become exceedingly annoying to him.
Even in the discussion of matters of great
public moment his hearers would always
laugh when they discovered the speaker
was Bill Nye. Such was the fame of his
humor. but it grieved him to be thus
treated on every occasion of his appear
ance in public. Constant peals of laughter
at what he intended to be taken in all
seriousness iIritated and panied him more
than was ever imagined by his warmest
friends. That is why he decided years
ago to retire as an humorist at the earliest
opportunity.
In speaking of the talented humorist a
writer recently had this to say: 'There
is portrait of Bill Nye in the act of writ
ing his jokes, and we are told that his
small, droll features, spectacled eyes, huge
forehead and remarkably bald and queer
shaped head add to the effect of his Jokes
when he recites them, as does his dry
Yankee drawl. But the Jokes are usually
good in themselves, for he has an original

lists death. He literally worked himself
to death. For two years he labored
with tigerish zeal, writing letters for the
syndicate by which he was regularly en-
ployed, writing books and plays and lee
turing. The work was enough to kill a
far stronger man. Upon the verge of col
lapse, tortured with mental and nervous
pain, weak from the burden of overwork,
the happy-hearted humorist reached Pat
erson, N. j., last fall. He was to lecture
that night and he did not feel equal to the
task.
His tortured mind craved for some arti-
fetal stimulant; his nerves needed some
thing to stay the portending collapse. In
that hour he drank excessively of 1ntoxi-
cants, and appeared that night on the
platform drunk. 1t was a story Of shame
that the newspapers carried over the
country the next day, and everywhere he
was abused. No one knew the truth or
cared to know. No one knew that the
genial humorist, who had contributed so
much to mankind's enjoyment, who was
always ready with a smile, and who had
driven away mountains of care, was stag
eering under superhuman task which he
had put upon himself, and drank only to
relieve his pain. Humiliated and feeling
keenly the shame that was put upon him,
the genial writer left.
1t touched his heart when, few days
later, Eugene Field penned, as his last
work upon earth, q defense of him. No
one knew but Nye how we'll that defense
was deserved and what flavor OF truth it
contained. Still the humorist offered no
excuse; he said nothing in extenuation.
With fiercer energy he continued his
work. He worked feverishly, forgetting the
cutting things that were said about him,
and, seeing his brave course, the people
had commenced to forget.
Ten days ago the collapse, of which the
incident at Paterson was but warning,
came. He was stricken at his home. A
few days before he had been at Asheville
and had spoken gratefully to friends of
the act of Eugene Field in writing in his
defense. He was a member of the Epis-
copal Church and since his residence here
has been the most popular man in this
section. His family consists of his wife
and four children, two sons and two
daughters.
In addition to his regular syndicate
work within the last two years he pub
lished a history of the United States.
which he often said he wanted to stand as
the last book he wrote. All of last fall he
was busily engaged in writing a play in
connection with Paul Potter, 'The Stag
Party" which was produced in New York
some time ago. The failure of the play
had no effect on Mr.. Nye's good humor.
He jokingly said few weeks ago that
'playwriting is not my forte"
