other local industries. The title descends to his son, 

 the Earl of Stafford, born in 1851. 



Tewfik Pasha, Mohammed, Khedive of Egypt, born 

 Nov. 15, 1852 ; died in the Helouan Palace, near 

 Cairo, Jan. 7, 1892. He was a son of Ismail Pasha 

 by a fellah woman, and was plainly brought up in 

 Egypt, while his brothers were educated in Paris, 

 Oxford, and Woolwich. When Ismail, in 1866, in 

 order to disinherit his uncle, Halim Pasha, had the 

 order of succession changed from the Mohammedan 

 to the European system, he hoped to choose his heir 

 from among his sons, but the powers insisted on the 

 order of primogeniture. Tewfik married, in 1873, 

 Emineh Hanem, a daughter of El Hamy Pasha, who, 

 like himself, was a great-grandson of Mehemet AH. 

 He was called away from his estate, where he oc- 

 cupied himself with his tenants and with farming, to 

 the head of the ministry in 1878, but he soon resigned. 

 On June 26, 1879, Ismail Pasha was deposed as 

 khcdive by the Sultan, and Tewfik succeeded to the 

 throne. F\>r several months there was nothing but 

 confusion in the administration, anarchy in the army, 

 and general disorder. On Nov. 10, 1879, the Anglo- 

 French control was established, and for two years M. 

 de Blignieres and Major Baring or Auckland Colvin 

 governed the country. Tewfik bravely remained in 

 Alexandria when it was bombarded. After the sup- 

 pression of Arabi's revolt he returned to Cairo, and 

 at the dictation of his British advisers he reluc- 

 tantly consented to the abandonment of the Soudan 

 in 1884. Ho followed the directions of Sir Evelyn 

 Baring in all important matters, perceiving that it 

 was useless to reoel merely in the hope of re-estab- 

 lishing the dual control, which was no more accept- 

 able to the country, and under which he was no 

 freer. (See portrait on page 246 of this volume.) 

 He was succeeded by his eldest son, Abbas Pasha, 

 who is familiar with European countries and speaks 

 several languages. 



Thomas, Arthur Goring, an English composer, born in 

 1851 ; died in London, March 20, 1892. He studied 

 music in Paris in 1875^-'77, and afterward in London 

 in the Royal Academy of Music and under Arthur 

 Sullivan and Prout. His opera, " Esmeralda," char- 

 acterized by some of the grace and finish of the 

 French school, attained an exceptional success. His 

 "Light of the Harern" has never been produced, 

 although it was the earliest opera that he composed. 

 " Nadeschda" was brought out in 1885, two years after 

 " Esmeralda." He composed a cantata, " The Sun 

 Worshipers," a suite de ballet, a number of orchestral 

 pieces, others for voices and instruments, and a large 

 number of songs which have made him famous. He 

 was mentally deranged after an accident that occurred 

 some months before his death, and in this condition 

 threw himself from a railroad train. 



Tong King Sing, director of railways and mines in 

 north China, born in 1832; died in Tientsin, Oct. 7, 

 1892. He was well known for his progressive ideas 

 and his friendly disposition toward Europeans. He 

 visited Europe in 1882, and was an efficient co-oper- 

 ator of Li-Hung-Chang in the movement to introduce 

 railroads and other technical improvements into China. 



Trapani, Prince Francois de Paule de Bourbon, Comte 

 de, born in Naples, Aug. 13, 1827 ; died in Paris, 

 Sept. 24, 1892. He was the youngest brother of King 

 Ferdinand of the Two Sicilies and the uncle of the 

 ex-King Francois II. lie married, in 1850, the Prin- 

 cess Maria Isabel, Archduchess of Austria-Tuscany, 

 and had two daughters, one of whom married her 

 cousin the Count of Caserta, and the other the Count 

 Zamoyski. The Comte de Trapani lived in very 

 modest style in Paris, as he had no fortune. 



Trebelli, Zella, a French singer, born in Paris, in 

 1838 ; died in Etretat, Seine-Inferieure, Aug. 18, 1892. 

 Her family name was Gilbert, which she transformed 

 into Trebelli when she went upon the stage. She 

 played the piano with skill and understanding before 

 ner training for the lyric stage began, at the age of 

 ten. Her first appearance was in Madrid at the age of 

 twenty, as Rosina in " II Barbiere," and it was a com- 



plete success. This, and Orsini, Orsace, Urbano, and 

 other contralto parts, she rendered with triumphant 

 success in German cities, and in 1862 she sangFathnu 

 in " Oberon " in London, and became a favorite of 

 the English public. Latterly she gained celebrity in 

 the character of the heroine in " Carmen," and in 

 188-9 made a tour in the United States.

 having been a Miss Garrow, who wrote some works 

 on Italy, and the second Mrs. Frances Eleanor Trol- 

 lope, whom he married in 1865, a novelist of consider- 

 able repute. His knowledge of Italian history and 

 literature was extensive, and he wrote easily and 

 entertainingly in both history and fiction. His most 

 important work is a " History of the Commonwealth of 

 Florence, from the Earliest Independence of the Com- 

 mune to the Fall of the Republic in 1531," which

 officer, born April 12, 1791, in Halifax, Nova Scotia;
