HENRY ARTHUR JONES.
INSCRIPTION FOR HIS TOMBSTONE. “I have laboured in viain . . . . yet surely my judgment is with the Lord.” This passage from Isaiah, whom it was liis continual delight to read, will be, at the lat© Mr Henry Arthur Jones’s own wish, inscribed upon his tombstone in Hampstead Cemetery, England. “It must not be understood from his choice that the late dramatist was embittered at the last,” says the theatre correspondent of the London Morning Post. “He was justly proud of his achievements and thankful for the rewards they brought him. At the same time, as was well known to his intimate friends, many of the high ideals to which he was devoted remain, in no way through his own fault, still to he fulfilled.
