OBITUARIES, FOREIGN. (HICKS KEELKY.) 



cared nothing for display, yet his expenditures 

 were enormous, and he wrought confusion in the 

 public accounts by using for his private purposes 

 the moneys obtained at exorbitant rates for pro- 

 posed public improvements. With people of in- 

 telligence he conversed brilliantly in excellent 

 Spanish, and with foreigners he could talk in 

 French or English. Wherever he went he was 

 surrounded by a bodyguard. Yet when he was 

 struck down by a young man of good family 

 whom he had talked with and complimented on 

 making his acquaintance the evening before his 

 guards made no attempt to stop the murderer 

 nor to remove their master's body, which lay in 

 the street, an object of execration to the popu- 

 lace. His hold on the army, for he treated the 

 soldiers well and they believed him to be in- 



vulnerable and invincible, helped to keep him in 

 power so long; his personal debts helped still 

 more, for his favorites and ministers who plun- 



dered the public all lent money to him, an enor- 

 mous sum in the aggregate, on which he was pay- 

 ing usurious interest. 



Hicks, John Wale, English clergyman, born 

 in 1840; died in Bloemfontein, Orange Free State,

 lished Church in 1872. He was Demonstrator of 

 Chemistry in the University of Cambridge, 1871- 

 '82, and Lecturer on Natural Science at Sidney- 

 Sussex College, 1871-'92. During this same period 

 he served as curate in the Church of St. Mary- 

 the-Less at Cambridge, 1871-77, and vicar of the 

 same church 1877-'92. In September, 1892, he 

 was consecrated Bishop of Bloemfontein, his dio- 

 cese including not only the Orange Free State 

 but Griqualand West, Basutoland, and Bechuana- 

 land. He was the author of A Text-book of In- 

 organic Chemistry (1877); Lectures on the Real 

 Presence (Cambridge, 1885) ; The Christian Doc-

Hincks, Thomas, English clergyman and sci- 

 entist, born in Exeter, July 15, 1818; died in 

 Clifton, Jan. 25, 1899. He was for some years in 

 the Unitarian ministry, being pastor of Mill Hill 

 Chapel at Leeds; but on account of the failure 

 of his voice he retired from the exercise of his 

 profession and, taking up the study of science, 

 became eminent as a marine zoologist. He was 

 the author of A History of the British Hydroid 

 Zoophytes (London, 1868) and A History of the 

 British Marine Polyzoa (1889), both works being 

 mainly the results of his own independent inves- 

 tigations. 



Hogarth, William, English singer, born in 

 South Shields, England, in 1844; died in Brighton, 

 June 4, 1899. In his youth he was a railroad and 

 marine engineer. About 1860 he became promi- 

 nent in Brighton as a singer, and he was choir- 

 master of St. James's Church in that city. He 

 was also the trombone player in the orchestra of 

 the theater in the evening, and in consequence of 

 the opportunity thus afforded he met Sir Michael 

 Costa and was allowed to sing with the Italian 

 opera during one of its engagements in Brighton. 

 He then appeared with marked success in comic 

 opera. When the Prince of Wales went to India, 

 Hogarth organized an English minstrel company 

 and traveled in the wake of the royal party, win- 

 ning great success and a fair pecuniary reward. 

 After a year's absence he returned to England 

 and organized a company of his own with which 

 he toured for a season. He was then engaged by 



D'Oyly Carte for the Captain in Pinafore, and 

 followed a successful London .season in that part 

 with one equally as successful in the production 

 of Babil and Bijou. In partnership with the late 

 Shiel Barry he formed a company for the produc- 

 tion of the comic opera Les Cloches <le Corncville, 

 Mr. Barry assuming the; part of tin; miser Gas- 

 pard, and Mr. Hogarth that of the marquis. Mr. 

 Hogarth continued in the management and per- 

 formance of this very popular opera until IH97, 

 when he gave up singing and attended solely to 

 the business direction of the company.

Johnstone, Eliza, English actress, born in 

 London in 1838; died there, Aug. 3, 1899. She 

 was principally known for her connection with 

 the theater and performances of John Lawrence 

 Toole. Her father was a provincial actor, and 

 she played for some years in country theaters. 

 When Mr. Toole organized his company in 1879 

 her great ability was made known to metropoli- 

 tan audiences. She remained in that theater un- 

 til Mr. Toole's retirement, when she too retired. 

 A London writer says of her : " She was not a 

 'foil' to the comedian; she was an invaluable, 

 almost indispensable, collaborator in the crea- 

 tion and sustentation of his popularity. Her hu- 

 mor was ever rich and ready, and her comedy tal- 

 ent was rare, keen, and surpassingly clever." The 

 parts in which she won most favor were Mrs. 

 Grumley in Domestic Economy, Mrs. Torrington 

 in Uncle Dick's Darling, Mrs. Cranky in The 

 Birthplace of Podgers, and Anna Maria in Ici on 

 Parle Frangais. 



Jones, Henry, writer on whist under the

 1831; died Feb. 10, 1899. He was the son of a 

 physician, and prepared himself to follow* the 

 same profession at King's College and St. Bar- 

 tholomew's Hospital. He played whist in his 

 own home, and when he had written a pamphlet 

 under his pen name his father would quote it as 

 authority without suspecting who was the au- 

 thor. His book on The Laws and Principles of 

 Whist appeared in 1862. He published also 

 Whist Developments and authoritative manuals 

 on piquet, Scarte", billiards, tennis, and other 

 games, giving up his practice as a surgeon in 1869. 

 For many years he conducted the card depart- 

 ment of the Field and the column on pastimes in 

 the Queen.
