WILEY BENEFIELD.

The Little Rock Optic, the paper
published by deaf mutes at the
deaf mute institute, at Little Rock,
Ark, gave a column obituary no
tice of the death of Wiley Benefited,
We republish part OF it;
wiley wasa little deaf boy Of
thirteen years. He was born in
Pope county, Arko Dec. "a, 1881.
He was an orphan, losing both
father and mother, when he was
quite small He was admitted here
as a pupil Dec 81, 1890, and since
that date has spent most of his
time at the Institute. He was a
bright, manly, handsome little fel'
low, always obeying the rules and
giving no trouble,
IAN loved Wiley for the simple
reason that they could not help it,
Death loves a shining mark, said
one of our teachers when told that
dear Wiley was gone, che was the
prettiest little boy in our school, "
LAS soon as Wiley became sick
he asked Tor Mr.. Bartlett, whom he
called "Uncle, "and who, on account
of Wileys being a cousin to his
wife, now dead, had been very kind
to him, Mr., Bartlett was telegraph
ed for and came "Wednesday morn
ing, staying by his side constantly
until he died Thursday morning at
l1'30 o'clock
"The entire school is saddened
by this bereavement, none knew
Wiley but to love him, yet we all
must know he is better, far better
of now than any of us yet living,
"The end was peaceful and when
the spirit had fed, a beautiful
smile rested upon the lips, which
remained there,
"Wileys "Uncle" carried the re-
mains, in pretty coffin, to Tex
arkaua, his home, where they were
inferred yesterday,
Goodbye, dear Wiley We have

Gold Hoarding.

The Washington Sentinel says
"The World has asked the banks
why they are boarding $Sl, 600, 900
of gold for which they have abso.
lutely no use whatever The re
plies are evasive, shafty, insincere.
They have no obligations payable
in gold, Their notes are redeem
able not by themselves but by the
government, and not in gold but In
greenbacks. The checks drawn by
their depositors are payable in pa
per alone, and in fact are paid in
nothing else. There Is no possible
reason for them to hoard gold ex-
cept that they expect premium
upon 1t or that they wish to force
the government to borrow money
which il does not need, Their talk
about country bonds occasionally
demanding gold remittances Is

TRILBY, THE MODEL.
Du Maurier's Heroine Unworthy of
Social Idolatry

CKindlY allow me to forget for a
time that | am only an impersonal
thing of black and white and let
me for the nonce become, like one
of yourselves, a thing of flesh and
blood, that | may in round English
terms declare l am weary, very
weary, of '"Trilby" and the "Trilby
fad"
1t has been bad enough all along
this idealization of a very improper
sort of young person, but still one
paid but little attention to take on
"Trilby" by well known litterateurs
who talks on everything from the
fall of Adam to Ibsen, But now
that our girls are taking the fad up
and "Trilby" afternoons are consid-
cred quite 'the thing" in circles
where Trilby herself would scarcely
have been admitted, now that the
young women consider no higher
compliment could be paid them
than to be told that they are sec
ond-class editions Of Trilby, it looks
as though it was time to call
halt.
Who was Trilby2
An artists model, an impulsive
young woman, who loved not wisely,
and sometimes not too well; a smok-
er of cigarettes; a dancer of the
can-can; but withal of good heart
and charming personality,
But in spite of this heart of hers,
are the women OF America prepar-
ed to as fully endorse her as they
seem ready to doY
DO the girls who are so proud of
being told that they resemble Tril-
by fully realize just what that
meansP
To those who are not "Trilby"
mad this seems very odd sort of
compliment, indeed. Taking the
most roseate view of Trilby's char
acter--granted that she repented
her early transgressions against the
rules of society-she must be called
a second Mary Magdalen, Is there
girl, pure minded girl, who would
care to have some man friend tell
her that she reminded him of the
Magdalen, beautiful as she WASP
But, first, this Is not a book re-
view, If it were the book itself
would be pronounced charming,
fascinating The only excuse for
this being written is that Trilby,
the heroine, comes within the realm
Of the world Of art by reason Of her
association with artists And there
are some artists who, in spite of
their bohemian tendencies, refused
to accept her in the light her en-.
thusiastic admirers are throwing
upon her. Said one the other day!
'lf this thing does not stop pref
ty soon, where will it end2 / have
not the slightest doubt that some
women will name babies after Du
Maurier's heroine, and after the
fad has passed and they realize
Just what Trilby' means to most Of
us fellows they will repent 1t ever
after.
The sentimentalists rave over her
and she is held up as a shining ex-
ample Of all that is good in woman
kind If this indicates that in this
nineteenth century of ours we are
taking a broader view of humanity
and If women are preparing to &C.
ccpt Trilbys Of the world as they
have accepted the Trilby of ro.
nance, it Is perhaps a good thing
that the book was written,
But to one who knows womankind
this seems hardly possible, Trilby
to read Of seems very charming, but
Trilby in life would be very shock
ing to the very persons who now

SEIZED BY ENGLAND.

New York, june 27.-The
Herald says: There are well
defined rumors floating around
in diplomatic circles that the
home made island kingdom of
Baron Harden Hickey, in the
South Atlantic ocean, has been
seized by England. Baron
James A. Harden-H Hickey is a
son-in- law eff the Standard oil
millionaire, John II. Flagler.
He was born in California Al
years ago, has been a Partisan
editor, but was exiled from
Franceion account Of a cartoon.
1t was on one of his many voy-
ages that the baron discovered
his kingdom, Trinidad l."
There were no inhabitants there
when he first found the island.
In the spring of last year the
baron raised his flag and pro-
claimed himself the ruler. His
agents in the United States be-
gan to rally recruits around the
royal standard. Currency and
postage stamps were printed.
laws were made and a navy was
secured in the shape of an old
bark, which, while not employ
ed IN the defense of Trinidad's
solitary port, carried the mails
over to Brazil. King Hickey
was and is a Buddhist and be
tried to pattern the kingdom
on the principles of the gentle
| Guatama. He instituted the
"order de chevaliere" for his
subjects and ordered a supply
of gay golden crosses with
which to recompense letters,
arts, science and industries.
The next news from the little
kingdom of Hickey will be a
waited with anxious interest by
many people in New York, and
the work Of procuring subjects
for the self-made king, which
has been going on. in this city
will be stopped until some def.
mite informatiomis received.
