She was 71 years old. Mrs. Dickson was born in Scotland, made her first appearance when she was 16 years old at the Theater Royal, Edlnbocough, as a dancer, and in the early 50s she came to this country, accepting her first engagement in a stock company at Charleston, S. whore she had for associates John T.

Members of the various Swedish singing societies have voluntoered to sing.

Gustaf Kallman came to this country ten years ago as a missionary, and while tolling for his daily bread did what he could to eomfort tho poor, sick and suffering from his own land. Saddest of all to him was the condition of the orphan children with whom he came constantly In contact. He started an orphanage In an humble way and soon kind-hearted people became Interested in the home. The house was soon too small and after Ave years the present home was purchased. Although not new, the house is large and comfortable, the grounds are filled with beautiful old shade and there is plenty of space for the children to romp and play In summer and plant flower and vegetable gardens as wejl.

There is a big debt over the home, the Interest of which must be met. The officers of the Kallmann Scandinavian Orphanage are John Lindblom, president; C. J. Carlson, vice president; Edward E. Thunell, secretary, and Gustaf Kallman, Eighteenth avenue and Sixty-seventh 3treet, treasurer.

'or tour years with a nervous disorder. Mr. Mordaunt's last appearance on the stage was at the Fourteenth Street Theater, in "New England Folks," In 1902. A year before, he organized the Mordaunt Stock company and produced several plays at the Herald Square Theater.

The failure of this venture Is Bald to have weighed on his mind and been the direct cause of his breaking down. Arthur T. Markham was Mr. Mordaunt's real name. He was born in New England, 64 years ago.

Ho went on the stage at tho age of 18, despite the opposition of his parents. This actor's greatest popularity followed hl career with Frohman's original Empire Stock Company.
