Instructive Daily Feature.
BENJAMIN ROBERT HAYDON.

Among the great English painters
of the nineteenth century, Benjamin
Robert Hayden ranks among the
greatest, although his genius found
scant appreciation during. his tragic
and pathetic lifetime. It was on the
fourth of April, 1916, that Hayden
received that last blow to his pride
which was, as he wrote in his diary,
''the beginning of the end 1t was
on that date that he placed on exhi-
bttion the large picture, 1.-THE Ban
ishment of Aristide," on which he had
long been engaged. The picture was
shown in g room at the Egyptian
Hall in Piccadilly, and the artist
hoped that the receipts would be suf-
f1cient to relieve him of the debts
that were depressing him. Only
four persons inspected the canvass
on the first day, and in the entire
| week the total attendance was only
1873. After five weeks of heart
| breaking disappointment he closed
| the exhibit, having lost nearly hun
| dred pounds. The worst feature of
this dismal failure was the fact that
under the same roof the famous
| dwarf, General Tom Thumb, was
attracting eager thousands. His own
failure, coupled with the success of
the lionized dwarf so preyed on his
mind that he soon became insane, and
on morning in the following June
the hapless genius was found in his
studio, PROSTATE in front Of his pic
ture, alfred the Great and The First
British Jury" By his side were his
prayerbook, his diary, a portrait of
his bride, and letters to his wife and
children. He had used both a pistol
and a razor to end his life.

ITALIANS ARE
WARNED AGAINST
COUNTS Speech

Rome, April 4.-Italians are warned
against the. speech of Count Czernin
by the Giornale d'Italia as, 1t says,
Austria-Hungary has spoken of peace
before every new offensive against
Italy.
Austria" the paper adds, now has
threefourths of her army on the
Italian front, where weather condi-
tons may allow her to undertake an
offensive Immediately. Italy must be
able to resist on her front line like
the Anglo-F'rench on the western
front. On this granite resistance from
the North sea to the Adriatic depends
the safety of the world"
A prominent member Of the italian
chamber of deputies in an interview
in the Giornale declares Count Ger
min considers the German offensive in
France to have failed in it's ultimate
aims.
