SPEAKER NIXON DEAD
Governor Higgins Orders the
 Flags Half Masted.
OFFICIAL EXPRESSION OF GRIEF.
Sudden Turn For the Worse Neces- sitated an Operation From which the Patient Had Not Strength
 Enough to Rally.

WESTFIELD, N. r.; Oct. Il. = s. Fred Nixon, speaker of the assembly. is dead at his home here. He was taken ill short time ago with what seemed to be appendicitis. Simple meth ods seemed to relieve the trouble, and it was thought at first that an opera l tion would be unnecessary. Mir. Nixon seemed to be improving when sudden turn for the worse came. An operation was performed. ana he seemed to rally from 1t. Since the operation his recovery had been retarded only by the unwillingness of the wound to heal.
 Yesterday, after a consultation, an anaesthetic was administered, and the wound was reopened widely. Decom- posed tissue was removed, and tile wound was drained. Mir. Nixon seein- ed to rally from the operation, but the reaction was only temporary. Soon he began to grow weaker, and at noon it was little more than a question of hours. He sank lower and lower and died at 4:50 p. m.
 Mir. Nixon was born in Westfield, Chautauqua county, N. Y, in 1S60 He was one of two sons of Samuel Nixon, who owned an extensive farm on the border of the village and who conduct ed extensive marble works in the vil- lage.
 For many years Mir. Nixon was an active member of the Republican par ty in his neighborhood. He was chair man of the Chautauqua Republican county committee for six years and managed the Republican campaigns in the county in 1888 and in 1892. Mir. Nixon was first elected an assembly man in 1887 and was reelected In 1888, 1889, 1893 and each year since. He had been speaker for the last six years. 7
 The governor has issued the follow ing proclamation:
 .aThe people of the state of New York learn with sorrow of the untimeiy death of Hon. s. Fred Nixon, the speaker of the assembly. He had the affection and respect of all who knew him. In his long service ln the legisIa- ture be had won a positlon of deserved and recognized leadership Ills young and useful life gave fair promise of brilliant success in wider fields. Ills broad experience. his tact and hls sound judgment rendered him excep- tionally well qualified for his responsi- ble and arduous duties. His death leaves a vacant place that cannot cas- fly be filled.
 Now. therefore. I. Frank W. Hie- gins, governor of the state of New York, do direct that the flags upon all the public buildings of the state, in- ciuding the armories and arsenals, be displayed at half mast up to and in- cluding the day of the funeral"

MOSCOW TIED UP.
No Papers md No Cars-Factory
 Hands Join Big Strike.

MOSCOW, Oct. 1.-The majority of the factory hands. especially in the great industrial quarter of Zamoskvo- retch, which is across the river from the rest of the city, have joined in the big strike of printers and bakers here. The movement threatens to become general, though it is opposed by a strong minority of the workmen.
 The workmen generally are demand ing an eight hour day and large in- crease in wages. Among their unique demands is one for the abolition of re- ligious lectures by priests in the fac tories and the substitution of lectures on economic and political subjects.
 No newspapers have appeared today. The employees of the electric street railroads by secret ballot voted to continue the strike, and as a conse- quence no cars are running.

 spondent.]
 In "Happyland,' at the Lyric thea ter. De Wolf Hopper has comic opera that has not failed to win approval and popular patronage.
 The drama, in two acts. is by Regi- nald De Koven and Frederic Ranken and staged by R. H. Burnside. The two settings show scenes in the court yard of the imperial palace in Elysia and in the Elysian fields.
 The music is of Mir. De Koven's best vintage, approaching that of Robin Hood" his greatest success. Mir. Ran ken's book is bright in spots, but it is not overburdened with the incandes- cence of operatic humor, However, Mir. Hopper is a fun factory all by himself and covers what otherwise would have been bare stretches in the production.

VAUDEVILLE.

Lovers of fine music cannot afford to miss the headline act at the Jacques this week, which is offered by the Eight Yassar Girls. It is seldom that vaudeville theater is able to present such remarkable clever musicians and the indubitable hit these young women have made is not only a worthy re- ward for the entertainment they afford but also indicates that the standard of good taste has been preserved i'll the face of discOuraging conditions. The quintet of reeds which opens the act with an Operatic medley at once pre- pares the audience for what is to come. The tone of the instruments is beautifully brought out and the phras- ing superb. The sextet for saxophones from Lucia di Lammermoor' follows and removes whatever impression of scepticism as to the players technique the listeners may have. The deep resonance of the reeds is brought out in magnificent fashion and the blend ing of the tones from the rumbling bass to the silvery tenor Is beautifully harmonized The eight girls then dis play their versatility by selection in brass that is as smooth as horns gen. erally are not. The act closes with an electrical May-pole dance that ex- hausts the enthusiasm of the audience. The veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic will enjoy Tactics" the sketch in which the Barrows-Lancaster company Is appearing. just as thor oughly as does the generation to whom the terrors of the rebellion are only story. The meeting between the two gray haired warriors, one of whom, a Texan, has lost an arm to the others prowess of sword. and the other the use of a leg as a result of the confed- crates accurate artillery, is situation that opens up immense possibilities both for comedy and pathos. And when the daughter of the "Reb" and the son of the "Yank" fall in love the complication only serves to give addi- tional interest to the enmity of their parents. The dcnouement cleyerly contriyed by the builder of the little play, is reached in a thoroughly artis- tic way and is worked up to with many a hearty laugh. Local interest is keenly centered in the first profes- sional engagement of little Helene Mendelbohm, whose infantile genius has set the town by the ears. Al Lawrence. Rocco Ferranti. Flaw thorne and Burt. Marlow Plunkett and company, and the electrograph are the other numbers on the program. Prices are 10. % and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

POI L IS
TN THE LAND OF COTTON

At Polls theater last evening was presented another of those bright, breezy and interesting dramatic stories so well told by that clever young play author, Daniel L. Hart. It was too bad that the audience was so meagre, for the play deserved as good a house as any production that has graced the boards this or any other season. This latest contribution to the theatrical world from the versatile pen of Mr Hart is the best work he has done and there is no mistake in saying that return date should and probably will be made when everybody will have chance to pass muster on the produc- tion. Daniel L. Hart, who enriched dramatic literature with the beautiful play "The Parish Priest" is the first to permit a clever pen to gracefully wander into what he styles ''the American part of America-Firginia," and has given the stage this powerful and beautiful play '.In the Land of Cotton," graphic story of the dreamy life of Old Point Comfort. Not the busy, hustling life of the hotel, or the exacting life of the modest people in the vicinity of Hampton Roads. The play tells powerful story of life, love and adventure. It is told by clever characters. typical of the soil, and is as novel in its development as it is original fin creation. The scenic em- bellishments are massive and beauti- full and include the interior of Fortress Monroe, genuine corn field and sev- eral other equally interesting scenes.

The chap who bought paddock top coat last season can heave a sigh of relief. The paddock coat, whether you ever see race horse or not, will be au fait. Let joy be unrestrained, for it will be more than that-the hot pre- vailing fashion throb.
 It will be the same proposition in- volving tight fitting waist and a lily flaring skirt, all open down the back just as it is in front, with nicely stitch ed seams running up and down the back, like feur de lis, only not as pretty.
 There will be those corking dapper lapels to the slanting side pockets and cuffs enormous and flaring enough to catch all the railroad dust and street railroad grease that any one could de- sire, not to mention dainty morsels from quick lunch counters and that nice white stain which is often found on waistceats that flourish under car mine noses. The shoulders must be padded as square as dice, and colors run from tame Oxford to glitterfng shades in tan. The things that go un- der the padded coat contain the real cyclonic surprises.
 The lovely loose sack coat, which has held sway in popular favor for num- Der of years, must take its place in the mothery whether 1t is tainted CT not. It is out of date. Sack coats will be three buttoned affairs, but right down

"The Man on the Box" Grace Living ston Furniss' dramatization of Harold MacGrath's novel, was recently given its initial performance at the Madison Square theater under the management of Walter N. Lawrence. The story is a tale of the adventures of young man who becomes enamored of a young Washington woman. All his ef- forts to make her acquaintance are fu- tile. On arriving at the home of his brother in the Capital City he plans to change places with the family groom and himself drive his sister and sister in-law home from the embassy ball, meanwhile giving them a scare by reckless driving. He, however. draws the wrong carriage call and consequent ly the wrong carriage containing two ladies. His arrest for reckless driving and fine follows. One of his passen- gers is the young woman of his heart, and he wins her in the end. Henry E. Dixey has the title part and Miss Car lotta Nillson, for the first time here. plays light comedy role.
