August 26th WIU Mark the 25th Anni versary of His Birth. New York, July 21.—The twenty-fifth of next month wll mark the 75th anni versary of the birth of Edgar W. (Bill) Nye, and many of those who knew the celebrated humorist best and loved him most are arranging for a suitable com memoration of the occasion. It is pro posed that meetings shall be held in Maine, the State of his birth, in the West, which was the scene of his early struggles and /successes, and in the South, where be made his home during his last years, as well as in many other parts of the country which gave generous recognition of his genius. Edgar Wilson Nye was born in Shir ley, Maine, Aug. 25, 1850, in the same neighborhood, curiously enough, which produced another famous humorist, Josh Billings. Mr. Nye's father went west and settled in Wisconsin when “Bill” was but two years old, and hence the West has always claimed the humorist as its own. Young Nye received his educa tion at an academy at River Falls and in other institutions. He studied law ami was admitted to the bar when he was but twenty-five years old. He went to Lara mie. Wyo., and began the practice of his profession. Clients, however, failed to come, aud Mr. Nye decided to try jour nalism for awhile. There was a little paper in J-arumie called the Sentinel, and Nye was made city editor at • the handsome salary of sl2 a deck! In those days at Laramie the Vuty edttofy was the only odki* on tte piper. Nye had to .do «>1 tEjp oditorial, rsportrirtaasauai, gerial athU-sfremPto the advertis ing besides. Nye made up his mind to enter poli tics. . He was elected, justice of the peace aud retired from “journalism." He sub sequently filled various other positions, serving as the city postmaster, school superintendent and member of the city council. the point of view of the average man, this would be considered quite a successful career for a newcom er, and Nye might have remained an ob scure politician and lawyer had not a rather illiterate humorise of Laramie, of the name of Root, detected his genius as a humorist. Root told -\ye that he was meant by nature for a funny writer, not for a politician or lawyer, and advised him to try comic journalism. Organizing a stock company Nye es tablished a new paper, the Laramie Daily Boomerang. In a short time the pa per made Nye famous. His originality ami felicity attracted general attention and nearly every important newspaper in the land copies his sketches and com ments. The general reader was inclined to doubt the real existence of the Boom erang. but there was no doubt of the fact that a new and genuine humorist had appeared in America. After about three years of steady and arduous work on the Boomerang Nye's health gave out and he went to Denver for rest and recuperation. Then he de cided to settle in the East and accept a liberal offer from one of the big New York newspapers to join its staff. This connection increased Nye's fame and pres tige and he soon was in receipt of a large income from his writings and lec tures, many of the latter beeiug given on ■tour in connection with James Whit comb Riley, the “Hoosier Poet.” During the latter years of his life Mr. Nye’s in come was estimated in the neighborhood of $40,000 a year. He had n fine home on Staten Island and another near Ashe ville, N. C. where he made his perma nent residence and where his death' oc curred in 1806. Mr. Nye had hosts of friends through out the country, and was admired as a kind, wholesouled fellow by all who knew him. He found a funny side in every thing lie observed or experienced, and nev er lacked material for his humorous sketches.

Baltimore,-July -21 with a highly 'concentrated' form of insulin which have been carried on by Dr. John J. Abel, professor of pharmacology, Johns Hopkins University, and Dr. E. -M. K. Geiling. associate professor of pharma cology, promise to throw new light on the causes of diabetes and possibly to reveal a method of preventing its occurrence. The experiments iiave indicated that absence ill the diet of a special compound of sulphur may be the cause of the defi ciency in the pancreatic secretions which is characteristic of diabetes and which the insulin treatment is employed to cor rect. The studies of Drs. Abel and Geiling were directed toward discovering the ex act chemical nature of insulin, the new remedy for diabetes. Results of the studies are contained in nn article, ’’Researches on Insulin." just published in the American Journal of Pharmacology aud Experimental Thera peutics. They represent returns from in vestigation carried on at Hopkins and the Gates Chemical Laboratory, California In stitute of Technology, l’asadena. Cal., where Dr. Abel spent a good part of last year. Considering (a milligram of insulin to be capable of yielding twelve units, for dosage of rabbits, the animals with which the scientists experimented, Dr. Abel says in his report: “We have been able to separate from commercial insulin four different frac tions, only one of which ((Fraction IV), contains the insulin in a highly concen trated form. This fraction, when tested on rabbits is able to reduce tlie Hood to the convulsive limit at forty units or more to the milligram. "This product, readily attainable in quantity, will now serve as the starting point for the further purification of insu lin. It is more than probable that the impuritiies which it still contains are as inert as those which have been removed. In a later communication we shall give the results of the various chemical meth ods which are now being employed by us for tlie further purification of this highly active Fravtion IV.” Murchison Denies Charges Against Him.
