Richard Bennett.

BENToNvILLE, ARK, May 8-Richard
Bennett, the oldest man in the State,
died at his home near this place, yes
terday, at the advanced age of lis
years. He was born at Richmond, Va,
and was or 8 years old when some of
the soldiers under Gen. Washington
took some spoons and some pewter
plates from his fathers house. His
mother, however, was a very determin-
ed woman and did not propose to sub
NIT quietly to such outrage. She fol-
lowed the soldiers into camp and re-
ported the matter to Gen. Washington,
who Immediately order the articles re-
stored to her, and the good woman re-
turned home wi tn her tableware. Mr..
Bennett remembers the incident very
clearly, and would frequently refer to
it. His parents moved to Tennessee
when he was about 8 years old, and To-
Gated in White county near where the
town of Sparta now stands. He had
been a citizen Of Benton county for 81
years, and was honored and respected
by those who knew him. Several times
during the last year he would walk to
town, distance Of one mile and half,
and was able to 60 anywhere about the
farm up to within week of his death.
He was, no doubt, the oldest person in
the State.

THE ARKANSAS BUILDING
AS Seen by the Memphis Commercials
Worlds Fair Correspondent.

The Arkansas State Building is fin
ished and is receiving its interior deco
rations. This splendid little structure
attracts much attention by it's unique
style of French architecture, and when
it is known that it was built by popular
subscription. after the State Legislature
had refused to appropriate the necessa-
ry funds, it reflects double credit upon
the enterprise of the Southern State
whose resources are SO we'll known. A
trip to the building, which stands in
the estate Circle" near the Northwest
corner of the grounds, yesterday result
ed in finding Mr.. Adair, who is in
charge of the building, busily engaged
attending to his correspondence. He
stated to The Commercial correspond
ent that all the exhibits intended fol
the building were on the way. Some of
them were already installed, and he
hoped to have the whole exhibit ready
for display in ten days. Out in the ro-
tunda the work of finishing the mosaic
floor was being pushed rapidly and will
be completed IN a day or two. Up on
slender scaffolding in the dome of the
building Mary E. Tiyet is painting a
huge canvass, which goes clear around
the dome aud is six feet wide. The de-
sign is difficult one, as no figures are
introduced. The whole picture is a
study in passion flowers and sky. The
artist, who is plump and pretty, wears
working skirt and jacket over her
street dress, and when visitors dropped
in she was paint from head to foot, not
excepting her face. The paint on her
was not of the kind alleged to be often
found on a woman's toilet table but
had come from her brushes when paint
ing above her. Miss Trivet will prob
ably have finished her work in two
weeks, when the Arkansas building will
be ready for dedication.
