Not many persons know who Prince

Atlantic, at the head of which was
Baron H.ron-Hickey, Travelled gen
tlemsu who married a daughter of b.
M. Flager, the Stsudard Oil msgnate.
The baron thought that as 20 one else
seemed to care for the island, he would
take il, organize an absolute monarchy
and send a colony down there.
The Chronicle further says:
James A. Harden-Hickey, the first
of the royal dynasty of Trinidad, was
born in France on December 3, 1854, of
ancestors, the Hickeys, originally came
from Ireland, having accompanied the
banished royal Stuarts of England in
their flight to France The present
baron was educated At the College of
Jesuits at Namur, and afterwards
at Leipsic. Here he estab-
zs c1.s. and fssl1ass S%ai.. as When
10 years of age he entered the French
Military College at ST. Cyr, but he
abandoned martial life on the death
of his father in 1873 aud devoted him
self to sculpture and literature. His
talents first found recognition in the
shape of translations for English mag
azines. but he also wrote quiet q num-
Der of works in his native language.
In 1873 the irrepr essible writer start
called La Tribotlet, which landed him
n constant tribulation. 1t was de-
voted to the interests of the royalists,
and as It's editor, the baron, made ia
apps arances in the police courts, paid
fines amounting to 5000 francs and
fought no less then q dozen duels.
Among his an a gonists we're Aurelian
Scholl, A. Lavertujon, Tame and D.
Cyop. Eventually the government
made France too hot to hold him and
be crossed to England.
After further reciting the baron's
adventures, the ChrOn Gle account
says:
The baron is thoroughly conversaut
with the Sanskrit language, and after
stud vi'g its literature, determined to

in his Undertakings. But he presuma-

success attended him. A honey
moon trip around the world appears
to have acted as sedative~ to his
esoteric tendencies, for, on his return,
he made to attempt to effect the
religious revolution of the United
States. He just settled down to the
comparatively easy task of starting
new kingdom and making himself
king, but the revolution in Brazil
somewhat retarded his plans.
The author of this bold and original
