MRS. REDDEY DEAD.
Had Reached Her One Hundredth Year

Had Reached Her One Hundredth Year Year-Wen Known to Old Derbyites.
 Mrs. Fanny Reddey, without doubt the oldest female resident, if not the oldest person within the limits of Der by passed suddenly away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Harry Burke, of Elizabeth street, Sunday. She was one hundred years of age, but carried her years admirably. Death came sudden ly and took her away without pain, it being only an hour after she had gone to her room unassisted that her goal had been reached and that she stood in another world awaiting the reward of her wel-spent life.
 To the former generation she was well known, but her acquaintance with members of the present generation, be- yond intimate friends, was limited. She had nursed many of the members of the Bassett families, having lived with them for more than a score of years. She nursed Tom Thumb in his infancy.
 She enjoyed excellent health up to two weeks ago, when her appetite di- unfinished and she didn't seem to care for anything. Everything was done to make her last days on earth comfort able and the end came peacefully. Death was due to general debility, as she had no specific ailment during her life, having been sick but one day in her life.-Derby Transcript.

ELKS' EXTRAORDINARY ENTER
 PAYMENT.

A Big Show for a Good Cause-Ellls
 Minstrels at the Hyperion Theater
 Tonight.
 When the curtain rises on the Elks minstrels tonight at the Hyperion the theater and the stage will both be full. Sixty will appear in the first part minstrel concert. and ten end-men will make merry with jest and song. Sweet singers and a chorus of fifty will ren- der the choicest vocal selections, while the end-men will confine themselves to the genuine southern songs of the darkey of the plantation and the levce. A rousing house is sure to greet the local troubadours, who don the burnt cork for the purpose of adding to their charity fund. In preparing for the en- tertainment the Elks have embarked in the venture with extravagant liberality, the expenditures being far in excess of the outgo of last season. After decid- ing to appear in a costumed first part on this occasion it was also determined not to rent the outfits, which might have been done at a saving. Mayer, the New York costumer was contracted with and every suit seen in the first part was made to measure and order. Perhaps the present committee, which has had the matter in charge, may never direct the organiZat tion and re- hearsal of a minstrel show, but if not, whoever follows in their footsteps will has task to 'cOme up to the mark that they have set in exploiting the Elks minstrels. What, with the twelve funny and sentimental songs, the first division of the performance will run for two hours and on that account the curtain will rise at 8 o'clock. "The Darktown Passing Show will finish the entertainment and serve to pre- sent many of the Elks in numerous amusing specialties. But out of town Elks in goodly numbers will swell the attendance, and after the performance the local brothers will entertain their visitors at Elks hall In the midst of all this preparation the large Elks have not forgotten the small boy. and re- quest that 1t be particularly stated that boys will be admitted to the top gallery for a quarter.
