The annual convention OF
the Grand Lodge Of the Knights
Of Pythias of West Virginia
which convened here this week
brought some of the best
known men of the State to this
city among whom was Virgil
A. Lewis whose name is inti~
mately associated with the
leading educators of West Vir>
ginia. Martinsburg welcomes
such a body of representative
men and hopes ere long to
have them again in our midst'2
The only drawback, how
ever. is in entertaining such a
large concourse of people owing
to the lack of proper hotel fa>
cilities. This should not be
said of a city as large as
Martinsburg.

Whittier, Lowell and Sherman Named
ms American Immorfals.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-The votes in
the second election for the Hall of
Fame were canvassed by Chancellor
MacCracken and Professors Stevenson
and Stoddard of New York university.
Only three names were chosen to re-
celve tablets in the five classes in
which the canYassing was completed,
those of John Greenleaf Whittier and
James Russell Lowell in the class Of
authors and that Of General William T..
Sherman in the class of soldiers.
The results Of the election furnished
many surprises Oliver Wendell
Holmes missed election by only three
votes, receiving forty-eight Of the fifty
one necessary. The greatest surprise
was the defeat of Edgar Allen Poe,
who received only forty-three votes. the
same number received by James Feni-
more Cooper.
Among the other literary men who
failed of election were William Cullen
Bryant, Francis Parkman and John l..
Motley, each of whom received forty
six votes, and Horace Greeley and
George Bancroft, who were tied with
thirty nine votes.
In the class of teachers no nominee
received fifty-one votes, and this cor
ner of the Hall of Fame will receive no
addition this year. Phillips Brooks,
who received forty nine votes, was the
leader in this class, Mark Hopkins,
with thirty eight, being second.
No jurist or scientist was chosen, Ru-
fus Choate, who led in the former class,
receiving only thirty -one votes, while
Joseph Henry, who led the scientists,
received thirty-one Chief among the
soldiers who failed of election were
Nathaniel Greene, with thirty eight
votes: Stonewall Jackson, with TWEEN
ty-one, and George Rogers Clark, with
twenty.
The Hall of Fame was opened ut
University Heights five years ago, at
which time twenty tablets were
unveiled dedicated to the following
great Americans: Emerson, Longfel-
low, Irving, Hawthorne, Edwards,
Horace Mann, Beecher, Claiming. Full.
ton, Morse, Whitney, Audubon, Gray,

BATTLESHIP WISCONSIN WELCOMED
sReoseveIt Had Illuminated Ameri-
can Policy For Peace and Was
In Accord With Angio-Jap-
anese Alliance

YOKOHAMA, Oct. 1.-THE British
squadron Of twelve vessels under the
command of Vice Admiral Sir Gerard
Noel arrived here and was officially
welcomed amid scenes of general en-
thusiasm by Vice Admiral kamimura.
The squadron entered In single col
umn line, the torpedo boat destroyers
leading, and took up an anchorage fac
ing the shore. Statutes were exehang-
ed between the Japanese flagship Iwate
and the British flagship Diadem.
Admiral Kamimura then went on
board the Diadem, accompanied by the
governor and other local authorities
and representative of Sir Claude NJ.
Macdonald, the British minister at To
kyo. Admiral Noel later visited the
Iwate.
After these ceremonies had been con-
cluded Admiral Noel and / 300 officers
and men landed and paraded through
cheering multitude ON the streets of
Yokohama to a garden party given by
the municipality, at which they were
entertained by dancing and fetes of
juggling and wrestling. Day fireworks
were displayed, and the entire city was
appropriately decorated
AT banquet in the evening Major
Ichihara, representing the Japanese ar
my, proposed Il toast to King Edward,
Queen Alexandra and the British navy
and welcomed the visit of the squadron
as strengthening the Anglo-Japanese
alliance for the peaceful industrial de-
velopment of the far east and the
civilization of the world. He referred
to the presence of the United States
battleship Wisconsin in the port of
Yokohama and cordially welcomed 1t
to japanese waters.
Although the United States was not
bound to Japan by formal ties, Major
Ichihara said that country was re-
garded as the friend of all nations hav-
ing community of interest in far east
ern policies.
He said that President Roosevelt had
Illuminated the American policy for
peace and the open door in China and
Korea, and therefore it was the speak
er's belief that the Angio-Japanese al
lance was heartily indorsed by the
United States.

Tokyo and be received by the emperor

IL is amazing to think of the

Kt is amazing to think of the
enormous sum the farmers of
this county will receive for
their fruit crop. Men who are
IN a position to know estimate
that not less than a quarter of
a million dollars will come into
this county from this source
alone. Already this section of
the country is known far and
wide as being one of the finest
fruit belts in the entire coun-
cry. and it is not saying too
xnuch that fruit growing here
has scarcely passed its infancy.
With such great industry,
without mentioning the many
other industries located here,
this county bids fair to become
one OF the richest counties of
the State. Any young man
who leaves here to make his
fortune elsewhere undoubtedly
makes a great mistake.

Two American ships.
OAKLAND. Cal, Oct. .. Advices
Just received here from St Michael,
Alaska tell of the murder of fourteen
American sailors by Aleutian island
cannibals. The letter says:
"Seven days ago a vessel bearing the
name of Sea Lady and sailing from
New York went ashore in a fog and
was completely wrecked. Out of twelve
sailors who left the ship only nine sur
vived. On arriving on land they were
met by the Aleuts, who showed hostile
tendencies. The sailors made several
attempts to make peace with the ma
tives, but failed. The Americans were
ali thrown into caves and robbed.
1.-The schooner Fairyland of Oak
land, Cal, appeared three days later.
This time the natives appeared friend
ly to the newcomers. but they sud
denly attacked the crew and burned
the ship with its men. The number
on board is supposed to have been five.

STATED an Operation From which
the Patient Had Not Strength
Enough TO Rally

w Itt,I AEllips ~ Is wv. Ii. - -
Fred Nixon, speaker of the assembly
Is dead at his home here. lie was
taken Ill a short time ago with what
seemed to be appendicitis. Simple meth
DDS seemed to relieve the trouble, and
it was thought at first that an opera
! ton would be unnecessary.
Mr.. Nixon seemed to be improving
when a sudden turn for the worse
came. An operation was performed,
and he seemed TO rally from it. 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 the
wound was drained. Mr.. Nixon seem
ed to rally from the operation, but the
reaction was only temporary. Soon
he began to grow weaker, and at noon
1t was little more than question of
hours. He sank lower and lower and
died at 450 p. IN.
Gathered at the bedside were Mrs.
Nixon and two of her children. One
son was absent. He was at school at
Cornwall-on- the Hudson.
Mr.. Nixon was born in Westfield
Chautauqua county, n. Y, in 1860. 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 vii
lage
He was vice president of the James
town and Lake Erie railroad and vice
president of the Chautauqua Steamboat
company. He was also a director and
president of the Chautauqua County
Agricultural society, which owns the
fair grounds between Dunkirk and
Fredonia.
For many years Mr.. Nixon was an
active member of the Republican par
~ 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 Mr..
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.
Mr.. Nixon married Myrtle II. Red
field, resident OF Westfield. They
had three children-Samuel, aged four
teen; George, aged twelve, and Doro.
thy, aged nine.
The governor has issueG the forbw,
ing proclamation:
The people of the st3te 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
ture he had won Il position Of deserved
and recognized leadership His young
and useful life gave fair promise of
brilliant success in wider fields. His,
broad experience, his tact and his
sound judgment rendered him excep-
tionally well qualified for mis- RESPONSE
bic and arduous duties. His death
leaves vacant place that cannot cas-
lily be filed.
