EDGAR w. NYE.

The American people of all classes will
regret without exception the early de-
mise of the best-known and most popular
of American humorists. Few men OF the
present generation have acquired more
sudden fame and wealth than Edgar Will
son Nye, known to the newspaper-read
ing public as "Bill' Nye." His career is
good illustration of how men gradual
~ drift into their proper sphere in life.
Mr.. Nye was educated as lawyer and
it was as lawyer that he went West
to grow up with the country: 1t was to
use his own words while serving in the
capacity of justice Of the peace and
general wholesale and retail dealer in
fresh new-laid equity and even-handed
Justice that he began to find his right
sphere. He wrote humorous articles for
newspaper published in his Wyoming
home. Later he started the Laramie
Daily Boomerang" which attracted the
attention of the entire country. His
sketches were copied by almost every
paper in the land. Few knew at that time
who the author of the original humor
| was. The New York World found him
| out, however. and the result was that
| Bill Nye left the Boomerang and Wyom-
ing and went East to fame and fortune.
His great success is explained by the
originality of his humor and style. He
never looked at anything without see
ing. the humorous side and he never saw
the same kind of humor that others did
He was different from others and it Is
| this difference which caused the Ameri-
can people to love Bill Nye. when
| was child" he says, in one of his humor'
Gus strains, II was different from other
| boys in many respects. I was always
| looking about to see what good l could
do. 1 am that way yet. If my little
brother wanted to go in swimming con-
trary to orders, was not strong enough
to prevent him, but would go in with
him and save him from watery grave
I went in the water thousands of times
that way, and as result he is alive to-
day"
Who but Bill Nye would portray this
simple humor in such simple way?
Like many others before him who have
contributed much to other peoples
amusement. Bill Nye was all his life In
poor health. To the people of Mime
apolis the report of his death comes bear
ing special grief, because, although he
never made his home here, he, neverthe-
less, has been with us many times, and
we seem to know him better because OF
his brother, County Attorney Frank M
Nye. -.

Cincinnati has a new show OF an old
pattern. Crowds of people present them
selves at the Jail daily to gaze upon the
murderers of Pearl Bryan and these are
mostly women and in the majority OF
cases young, blooming girls. The visi'
tors are sometimes placed in two rows
facing each other, and the murderers are
marched up and down between them like
wild animals at a menaserie. Has it
ever been scientifically explained why
women are more morbid than men?

THE A. o. II.

From time TO time the irish Standard
has called the attention Of members and
divisions of the A. O. II. to the desir
ability of having matters of interest per-
tanning to the order published in these
columns and that the only way that this
can be done is by divisions or individual
members sending in to this paper any
such information they may possess. In
this way only can the necessary news
be obtained.
To keep the order in such vigor and
growing activity necessary to its useful
ness there should be a union of forces
in the matter of furnishing news. In
this way kind of an associated press
bureau would be established and news
of all descriptions relating to the Order
would pour in weekly from different sec
tons Of the state. Each member should
hold himself or herself-as regards the
Daughters of Erin--in readiness to con-
tribute whatever could be learned OF
that nature and which would find place
in these columns A special department
would be opened in the Irish Standard
for that purpose so that news from all
over the state could be found at glance
and the membership not only know what
/ was taking place in other sections but
all the divisions would thus be in touch
with each other-a veritable bond Of
union.
Relative to this matter the state Sec
rotary writes to the Irish Standard as
follows, "The need of the hour in A..
O. H. circles is the advertisement of the
society," says the Irish Standard of Feb.
e. Yes, and genuine short notice of
the proceedings of each division would
be, in fact, most interesting news. We
need such for the better encouragement
of members who are expecting columns
brimful of A. o. H. news from the state
organ of the A. o. H. of Minnesota-the
ganization and our state secretary and
insurance fund is a real Western success.
Hence, send your society items to the
Standard, and no one will have need to
complain of it as our official paper. You
cannot expect the editors to list and note
each division individually unless you
send them the news items. Let each
division in the state appoint a CORE
spondent and you will find your state
society organ supplied with more Hi
bernian news than they can print Why
have the name of society organ and
have no society news when you know
that the editors cannot manufacture So
ciety items to please subscribers. Such
news items must be sent by the men,
bers Send your news items and you can
boast OF having the best organ in the
United States
That is both sensible and practical, and
it is to be hoped will be promptly acted
upon. Members will take no more pride
in seeing these columns filled with such
news than the publishers will have in
printing it.
1t should be added that matter of this
kind intended for publication the same
week should be addressed "The Irish
Standard, Minneapolis, Minn.,'' and
should reach this Office not later than
Wednesday morning.

GEORGE WAS HER FRIEND.

The St. James Gazette, commenting
upon the proposed Venezuelan arbitra-
ton, makes some remarks concerning
George Washington on his birthday, say
ing: "He became the adversary of Eng
land reluctantly and was never her enc
my. If this spirit animated the tenant Of
the White House today, it is certain the
trumpery dispute between us and South
American republic would not be made the
occasion of a difficulty which almost
threatened war between the two peoples. :"
Well, if England thinks Gen. Washing
ton was her friend and not her enemy
after leading her such merry dance for
so many years and finally pushing her out
of the country, she is entitled to the in
depreciation. Most Americans believe
that our George was most cordial hater
of the other George, and he proved his
hatred by the aggressive fights he made,
and if he were living would do SO again.
England during the past six or seven
years looked upon "the tenant of the
White House" as her friend, spoke Of him
as such on many occasions, but when he
stood up periodically for the rights Of the
American people and would not permit a
man like Lord Salisbury to arrogantly
ride over them at his own sweet will, then
the tenant Grover was not such honey
suckle as he had formerly been. That's
the difference between the tenant" now
and then. r..
Perhaps George Washington and the
American people would have remained
friendly towards England for a number of
years longer than they did had 1t not been
for England's cruel injustice and the
turning Of a deaf ear to every supplica-
ton and remonstrance of the American
people. But The day for cutting loose the
bonds that held together the two peoples
would have come sooner or later. 1t was
merely the postponement of the agony for
England to undergo. If unjust George
Third had not brought about the separa-
ton by his acts, his successor, even more
crazier than he, would have done it.
Canada, too. was obliged to fight for
representative government, and England
granted It when she couldn't help herself.
Such is the manner Of English justice in
dealing with nations
