wife was Jane Atherley; and his son, Llewellyn Atherley-Jones, K.C. (b. 1851), became a well-known barrister and Liberal member of parliament. JONES, HENRY (1831-1899), English author, well known as a writer on whist under his _nom de guerre_ "Cavendish," was born in London on the 2nd of November 1831, being the eldest son of Henry D. Jones, a medical practitioner. He adopted his father's profession, established himself in 1852 and continued for sixteen years in practice in London. The father was a keen devotee of whist, and under his eye the son became early in life a good player. He was a member of several whist clubs, among them the "Cavendish," and in 1862 appeared his _Principles of Whist, stated and explained by_ "_Cavendish_," which was destined to become the leading authority as to the practice of the game. This work was followed by treatises on the laws of piquet and écarté. "Cavendish" also wrote on billiards, lawn tennis and croquet, and contributed articles on whist and other games to the ninth edition of the _Encyclopaedia Britannica_. "'Cavendish' was not a law-maker, but he codified and commented upon the laws which had been made during many generations of card-playing." One of the most noteworthy points in his character was the manner in which he kept himself abreast of improvements in his favourite game. He died on the 10th of February 1899. JONES, HENRY ARTHUR (1851- ), English dramatist, was born at Grandborough, Buckinghamshire, on the 28th of September 1851 the son of Silvanus Jones, a farmer. He began to earn his living early, his spare time being given to literary pursuits. He was twenty-seven before his first piece, _Only Round the Corner_, was produced at the Exeter Theatre, but within four years of his début as a dramatist he scored a great success by _The Silver King_ (November 1882), written with Henry Herman, a melodrama produced by Wilson Barrett at the Princess's Theatre. Its financial success enabled the author to write a play "to please himself." _Saints and Sinners_ (1884), which ran for two hundred nights, placed on the stage a picture of middle-class life and religion in a country town, and the introduction of the religious element raised considerable outcry. The author defended himself in an article published in the _Nineteenth Century_ (January 1885), taking for his starting-point a quotation from the preface to Molière's _Tartuffe_. His next serious piece was _The Middleman_ (1889), followed by _Judah_ (1890), both powerful plays, which established his reputation. Later plays were _The Dancing Girl_ (1891), _The Crusaders_ (1891), _The Bauble Shop_ (1893), _The Tempter_ (1893), _The Masqueraders_ (1894), _The Case of Rebellious Susan_ (1894), _The Triumph of the Philistines_ (1895), _Michael and his Lost Angel_ (1896), _The Rogue's Comedy_ (1896), _The Physician_ (1897), _The Liars_ (1897), _Carnac Sahib_ (1899), _The Manoeuvres of Jane_ (1899), _The Lackeys' Carnival_ (1900),
