Hanioud bin Mohammed bin Said, Sultan 

 of Zanzibar, born in 1853; died July 23, 1902. 

 He was a nephew of the Sultans Ali, Khalifa, and 

 Burghash, and cousin of Sultan Hamed bin 

 Thwain, who died suddenly on Aug. 27, 1896, 

 probably of poison. The next heir to the throne, 

 who was unfriendly to the English, seized the 

 Government, but the British naval force inter- 

 fered and placed Hamoud on the throne, depri- 

 ving him of the share in the public administration 

 exercised by his predecessor. 



Hauser, W., Swiss statesman, born in 1837; 

 died in Zurich, Oct. 22, 1902. He has been Minis- 

 ter of Finance in the Federal Government almost 

 uninterruptedly since 1888, and at the time of his 

 sudden death was completing the budget, having 

 elaborated a tariff law. He was a tanner in early 

 life, and when he entered upon his official life he 

 devoted immense energy to public affairs and was 

 a faithful guardian of the treasury. In 1890 he 

 was President of the Confederation. 



Hector, Mrs. Annie (French), "Mrs. Alexan- 

 der," English novelist, born in Dublin, Ireland, in 

 1825; died in London, July 10, 1902. She began 

 early to write, but discontinued the practise on 

 her marriage to Alexander Hector, a Scotsman, 

 who accompanied Layard in his explorations at 

 Nineveh. After her husband's death she resumed 

 her pen, and for nearly thirty years was one of 

 the most industrious novelists of her day. She 

 did not possess much originality, but she wrote 

 with ease and fluency, and always entertainingly, 

 and she retained through life a circle of readers 

 who awaited her successive stories with interest. 

 The Wooing O't first brought her into general no- 

 tice, and it remains one of her best books. The 

 tone of all her writing was wholesome, and if she 

 made no striking contribution to literature, she 

 succeeded in giving a great deal of genuine pleas- 

 ure to very many persons. A nearly complete list 



of her books, which are fiction with but few ex- 

 ceptions, includes Which Shall it Be? (1866) ; He- 

 roes of the Crusades (1868); The Legend of the 

 Golden Prayer (verse) (1872); The Wooing O't 

 (1873) ; Ralph Wilton's Weird (1875) ; Her Dear- 

 est Foe (1876) ; The Heritage of Langdale (1877) ; 

 Maid, Wife, or Widow (1879); Moral Songs 

 (1879) ; The Freres (1882) ; Look before you Leap 

 (new ed., 1882); The Admiral's Ward (1883); 

 The Executor (1883); Holiday Songs (1884); 

 A Second Life (1885); At Bay (1885); Val- 

 erie's Fate (1885); Beaton's Bargain (1886);

Heinrich. XXII, Prince of Reuss-Greiz, born 

 in Greiz, March 28, 1846; died there, April 19, 

 1902. All the princes of the house of Reuss have 

 for nearly eight hundred years borne the name of 

 Heinrich and are distinguished by numbers, which 

 in the elder line begin anew with each hundred 

 and in the younger line after the end of each cen- 

 tury. This prince, belonging to the elder line, who 

 was left to rule over one of the most insignificant 

 dominions in Germany, was most jealous of his 

 rights and dignity as a German sovereign, and dis- 

 tinguished himself by the indiscriminate opposi- 

 tion to Prussian policy that his Government in- 

 variably offered in the Federal Council. His 

 mother, Princess Caroline, of the house of Hesse- 

 Homburg, acting as regent, had taken the side 

 of Austria in the war of 1866, following Saxony, 

 Hesse, and Hanover, and in consequence Prussian 

 troops occupied the principality and a war indem- 

 nity was levied. When Heinrich XXII reached 

 his majority he began his reign by proclaiming 

 representative government of a very restricted 

 kind. With a newspaper for which he wrote and 

 by means of his official and ecclesiastical patron- 

 age he endeavored to convert all his subject- 1 > 

 the separatist Guelph party. The militia cnrji< 

 under his orders were not allowed to raise flav- 

 or fire salutes for the Emperor. As a German sov- 

 ereign he would observe treaties, but he would 

 not hoist flags at the command of any prince. 



Henty, George Alfred, English author, born 

 in Trumpingtnn, England, Dec. 8, 1832; died in 

 Weymouth, England, Nov. 16, 1902. He un- 

 educated at Westminster School and at Cam- 

 bridge, and went to the Crimea in the purveyor'* 

 department. He returned to England at the clo-r 

 of the war, and was successively placed in charge 

 of the Belfast and Portsmouth districts as purvey 

 or. Resigning his commission, he spent some 

 years in mining operations in Wales and Italy. 

 and later became special correspondent of the Lon- 

 don Standard, in which capacity he went through 

 the Austro-Italian, the Franco-Prussian, and Tur- 

 co-Servian campaigns, and accompanied the Al>\> 

 sinian and Ashantee expeditions, and was witli 

 Garibaldi in the Tyrol. For many years he edited 

 the Union Jack, a popular periodical for buy-. 

 He spent, in his later years, six months of every 

 twelve on board his yacht, and his death occurred
