 An interesting incident occurred while MT Nixon was at the head of the East river bridge commission, the body that had charge of planning and building the new bridge between New York and the eastern district of Brooklyn. A henchman of one of the most proml- nent men in Tammany hall had got into an ugly scrape. To help him out it was necessary to secure the influence of a man who stood high in the com- munity. The Tammany politicians concluded that MT. Nixon would do. ard sought him out at the office of the bridge commission. He stated his mission in a manner which took it for granted that his wish would be com piled with. MT. Nixon heard him to the end and then turned on hirn fiercely:

THE SULTAN OF SULU."
George Ade's Inspiration for His Sue
 cessful New Opera.

Inspiration for the writing of Mir. George Ade's clever musical comedy. ''The Sultan of Sulu." came to him in a manner most to his lilling-that is to say, through his fellow worker and companion. Mr. John T. McCutcheon, cartoonist. illustrator. war correspond ent and-in the near future-novelist.
 Almost from boyhood these two young newspaper men have been work ing partners. Their first long separa- tion came shortly before the outbreak of the Spanish war. Rare fortune took Mr. McCutcheon to Hong Kong in time to go to Manila bay with Admiral Dewey. Then he remained in the Phil ippines and sent home the brilliant let ters which gave him wide reputation as a war correspondent whose stuff ' was as good as his pictures.
 Early in 1860 Ade visited the orient, and spent three weeks in Manila with McCutcheon. One evening MT. Me Cutcheon related his experience in the southern islands and told how he had interviewed the sultan of Sulu. after crossing the islands in company with MT. John F. Bass of the New York Herald, a Nubian interpreter and two native servants. and thus reached the place where the sultan held court. This was then a most reckless undertaking. Arriving in safety they sought an au- dience with the sultan, who had resist ed all overtures on the part of General Bates
 At last the young American newspa- per men were admitted to the imperial presence, and found the sultan to be a man of middle age, wasted by dissi- patton and with lips discolored by the betel-nut. They assured him that their visit was one of peace and good will, In return the sultan ceased chewing his betel long enough to say:
 Your countrymen are as brothers to me--and I hope they'll treat me the same.''
 To the narrative of this visit MT. McCutcheon added an account of q subsequent visit to the Datto (prince) Ali Uddin.
 Incidentally he recited tribute in verse to one of the southern chiefs: HADJI MOHAMMED JAMOL HIRAM.
 | In the Datto Tantung of Bongao | I rule in the South South Sea; 1 don't give a darn for any darn man Who don't give a darn for me.
 While they were laughing over the ludicrous incidents connected with Ki-Ram's first bewildered experiences with the American soldiery, MT. Ade suggested that the story of Ki-Ram would work up into a comic opera That was the beginning of "The Sul- tan of Sulu.'' MT. Ade has written the l hI1t lIr MafH tnh ciated as consulting architect" for the scenery and costumes.-Saturday Eve ming Post.
