 passed like the rest, Baron von Stumm's dread 

 of socialism grew more intense and overpowering. 



Sutton, Henry Septimius, an English jour- 

 nalist, born in 1825; died in Manchester, in May, 

 1901. He entered journalism in connection with 

 his father's paper, the Nottingham Express, and 

 was editor of the Manchester Alliance News for a 

 long period. He published, a half century ago, 

 The Evangel of Love and Quinquinergia, two 

 volumes of verse, which on his becoming a Swe- 

 denborgian he suppressed. Selections from these 

 books with other poems were issued in later life 

 by him Poems (1886); Poems (1887). He was 

 the author also of Five Essays for the Student of 

 the Divine Philosophy of Swedenborg (1896). 



Szilagyi, Desider, a Hungarian statesman,

 his profession, was appointed to various posts un- 

 der the Ministry of Justice, was sent to England 

 in 1870 to study the civil and criminal laws of 

 that country as a preparation for the codification 

 of the Hungarian law, in which he subsequently 

 took a prominent part, was elected shortly after 

 his return to the House of Representatives, and 

 by his eloquence and his knowledge of laws and 

 political institutions he made his mark at once as 

 a legislator and political leader. After the work 

 of codification was completed he accepted the 

 chair of criminal law and political science in the 

 University of Budapest. He was the principal 

 author and promoter of the recent laws on mar- 

 riage, education, and other subjects which were 

 bitterly resisted by the Clericals. In the Wekerle 

 Cabinet his was the dominating spirit. He carried 

 through measures for the purification of elections 

 and many other reforms, some of which were at 

 first opposed on grounds of expediency by his own 

 party. 



Tait, Peter Guthrie, a Scottish scientist, born 

 in Dalkeith, in 1831; died in Edinburgh, July 4, 

 1901. He was educated at the university of his 

 native city, and at Cambridge, becoming a fel-

Tanner, Charles Kearns Deane, an Irish 

 politician, born in Cork in 1849; died in London, 

 April 21, 1901. He was the son of a physician, 

 and was educated in Paris and at Winchester 

 School, was graduated in arts and in medicine at 

 Queen's University, Cork, and continued his medi- 

 cal studies in Leipzig and Berlin Universities. He 

 practised medicine at Cork with success. In 1885 

 he was elected to Parliament as a Parnellite, and 

 he held his seat until his death, joining later tne 

 Anti-Parnellite wing of the Irish party. Dr. Tan- 

 ner carried the obstructive tactics of the Nation- 

 alists further than any other member of the party. 

 He had a fiery nature and a combative tempera- 

 ment. Without any gift of oratory he had an 

 acute and alert mind, and developed a gift for 

 hackling the ministers and probing them with an- 

 noying questions; but so often did he scandalize 

 the house by violating the accepted rules of par- 



liamentary decorum, especially by the violence of 

 his language, that they treated him with scant 

 courtesy, though personally he was generally 

 liked and respected. He came almost as often 

 under the censure of the Speaker as all the other 

 Irishmen together, and when Irish obstructionists 

 were removed from the house, when most others 

 yielded to a show of force, he always made a 

 real fight.

 ham, 1869-75; and rector of Settrington in 1875-

 He was the third Isaac Taylor to win distinction 

 in literature, his grandfather being the well- 

 known u Taylor of Ongar." He was a man of 

 varied interests, and as one of the founders of
