Loraiiie, Henry, English actor, born in Lon- 

 don in 1819; died there, July 10, 1899. He made 

 his first appearance in 1840 at Worcester. For 

 years he was a favorite leading man of the Scotch 

 theaters. He then established himself in Liver- 

 pool, whence he went to London in 1803, where 

 he made his debut as Don Caesar de Bazan, at 

 Drury Lane. His fortune was not great in this 

 venture, but Barney Williams, the American ac- 

 tor, obtained him as a leading man for the Broad- 

 way Theater, New York. He made his first ap- 

 pearance there as Hamlet, and remained for a 

 season. He then made several prosperous tours 

 of the United States as a Shakespearean star, and 

 returned to England in 1808. In the autumn of 

 that year he again played Don Caesar de Bazan 

 at Drury Lane so successfully that it ran fifty 

 nights. Mr. Loraine after a time took the 

 management of the Surrey Theater. He was next 

 seen at the Princess's in a series of Shakespearean 

 r61es. He became manager of the Theater Royal, 

 Leeds, and for many years enjoyed prosperity 

 both as an actor and as a business manager. Of

 ard), English actress, born in Bristol in 1850; 

 died in London, Sept. 30, 1899. She made her 

 first appearance in Bristol in 1862, and after sev- 

 eral years of stock experience she became noted 

 as a music-hall singer of popular melodies. In

 engaged by the Music Hall Syndicate at a large 

 salary for six years. In 1893 she came to New

 vorite at Koster and Bial's. Her best-known bal-

Mackenzie, John, British administrator, died 

 in Kimberley, March 22, 1899. He went to South 

 Africa in the service of the London Missionary 

 Society, of which he became a very active and 

 energetic member. When the Dutch freebooters 

 in the service of the Bechuana chiefs Massouw 

 and Moshette and the English freebooters in the 

 service of Mankaroane and Montsioa set the 

 Border aflame in 1881 and subsequent years, for 

 the purpose of enriching themselves with native 

 lands, Mackenzie was concerned for the chiefs 

 that acknowledged British supremacy, and when 

 the Boer freebooters founded the republics of 

 Stellaland and Goshen he appealed to the British 

 Government and was supported by nonconformist 

 opinion in his protest against the alleged viola- 

 tion of the Keate award by the Transvaal Gov- 

 ernment. As the result of this agitation, a Brit- 

 ish protectorate was proclaimed over Bechuana- 

 land in 1884, and Mackenzie was appointed dep- 

 uty commissioner. He soon found himself at 

 variance with the Cape Government when he at- 

 tempted to deprive the Dutch farmers of their 

 lands. Cecil Rhodes was consequently sent to 

 replace him; but when he failed to restore order 

 Sir Charles Warren inarched into the country in 

 1885, and after a conflict with Rhodes sent for 

 Mackenzie, whose views in favor of direct im- 

 perial control coincided with his own, and they 

 prevailed over those of Sir Hercules Robinson and 



Cecil Rhodes, who wished to annex tin- territory 

 to the Cape, as was done ten yearn later. Iri 1881) 

 he went to England to agitate against Sir II cr- 

 cules Robinson and urge? the separation of the 

 offices of Cape governor and high commissioner. 

 He returned to his work as a missionary. He 

 published Austral Africa (1885). 



Manning, Frank, English actor, born in 

 London in 1861; died then;, March 24, 1K99. He 

 was the son of a popular English comedian. John 

 Manning. His first appearance was at the age 

 of ten in a pantomime at Sadler's Wells, and he 

 was identified with that line of business for sev- 

 eral years in different theaters, and made a suc- 

 cess as the drunken cobbler in The Forty Thieves. 

 The result was his abandonment of mute roles 

 and the beginning of great popularity as an ec- 

 centric comedian. His principal engagements 

 were a tour in America with the Leopolds as 

 Sammy in Frivolity, a season of burlesque at the 

 Theater Royal, Edinburgh, a tour with Wilson 

 Barrett, another with The Telphone Girl, and his 

 engagement at the Savoy, London, where he was 

 playing the minister of police in The Lucky Star 

 at the time of his fatal illness. His last appear- 

 ance was March 18, 1899. 



Marie Louise, Princess of Bulgaria, born in 

 1870; died in Sofia, Jan. 31, 1899. She was a 

 daughter of the Duke of Parma, of the house of 

 Bourbon, and married Prince Ferdinand of Bul- 

 garia in 1893. When her husband, in 1896, had 

 their elder son, Boris, admitted into the Greek 

 Orthodox Church in order to save his throne it 

 caused her much unhappiness. She took no great 

 interest in politics, but her kindness and benevo- 

 lence endeared her to the Bulgarians. 



Maris, Jacques, Dutch painter, born in The 

 Hague in 1837; died in Carlsbad, Aug. 8, 1899. 

 He studied under De Keyser and Van Hove, went 

 to Paris, and obtained a high reputation for his 

 landscapes, especially in his own country, where 

 he was acknowledged to be first in his branch. 

 He was also an aquarellist and an engraver. 



Mirsky, Dmitri Ivanovich Svatopolk, a 

 Russian soldier, born about 1825; died in Nice 

 in February, 1899. He entered the army at the 

 age of eighteen, took part in all the battles fought 

 with Shamyl, exhibited distinguished bravery, 

 and was twice wounded, and in the Crimean War 

 he was at the head of a regiment. Later, as chief 

 of staff to Prince Bariatinsky, he took part in 

 the pacification of the Caucasus. In the war of 

 1876, as adjutant to the Grand Duke Michael, 

 he took an active part in the capture of the for- 

 tress of Kars. His last office was that of Gov- 

 ernor General and commandant of troops in 

 Kharkoff. 



Marshall, Mrs. Emma (Martin), English his- 

 torical novelist, born in North Repps Hill House, 

 Norfolk, Sept. 29, 1828; died in Clifton, Bristol, 

 May 4, 1899. She was the youngest daughter of 

 Simon Martin, a banker of Norwich, and in 1854 

 married Hugh Graham Marshall. Her early 

 married life was passed at Wells, Exeter, and 

 Gloucester, and her interest in the historical asso- 

 ciations connected with these cities is strongly 

 reflected in some of her stories. The average 

 merit of her books is high, and their popularity 

 is deservedly great. Properly speaking, they are 

 not so much novels as a series of historical pic- 

 tures in which there is one central celebrated per- 

 son about whom are grouped other real person- 

 ages of lesser note, with still others who are crea- 

 tions of the writer's own brain. The narrative in 

 each case is of interest, the dialogue natural, and 

 the descriptions of events and places worked up 

 with a great deal of literary skill. The best of
