Stiles, who has for so long been connected with the probate office under Judge Porter, has a chance for making numerous friends who will serve him in the coming contest.
 A farmer from down in the lower end of the county told an Age-Herald reporter yesterday that they were having a regular epidemic of probate judge candidates" down there, and that they were thinking of starting some system of vaccination for self-protection.

to a daughter of John H. Flagler, of New York the Standard oil magnate, in 1S9l Baron Hickey attained notoriety some time ago when he took possession of Trinidad island and proclaimed himself military dic- tator.
 The Dynasty of Trinidad
 Baron Harden Hickey was the first of the royal dynasty of Trinidad. He was born in San Francisco on December S., 1854, of a Catholic and old royalist family. His ancestors, the Hickeys originally came from Ireland having accompanied the ban ished royal Stuarts of England in their flight to France.
 The young baron was educated at the college of Jesuits at Namur and after wards at Leipsic. Here he established a reputation as first-class and fearless duelist. When 19 years old he entered the French military college at St. Cyr, but he abandoned a martial life on the death of his father in 1873, and devoted his life to sculpture and literary pursuits. His tal- ents first found recognition in the shape of translations from English magazines. He also wrote quite number of works in his native language
 A Weekly Paper
 In 1878 the irrepressible writer started a weekly satirical paper in Paris called La Tribolet, which landed him in constant trouble. It was devoted to the interests of the royalists and its editor ,the baron, made IA appearances in the police courts, paid fines amounting to 0,000 francs, and fought no less than dozen duels Among his antagonists were Aurelian Scholte, La vertujon, Taine, and DeCyon. He was eventually compelled to leave France, go- ing to England. He was thoroughly con- versant with the Sanskirt language and after studying it's literature, determined to propagate the religion of Buddha throughout the United States. In the meantime he met and married Miss Anna
