Here's an interesting article about the recently deceased (1904) Chaim Zelig Slonimski.
(The article is by Judah David Eisenstein who, incidentally, wrote a number of interesting articles in the linked periodical, New Era Illustrated Magazine. See here for his trenchant criticism of the "legal articles of the Jewish Encyclopedia," although his overall evaluation [in New Era v. 7 1905 pg. 187] is "Altogether, the Jewish Encyclopedia is a monumental work, a storehouse of Jewish learning, of which American Israel may be justly proud.")
