WASHINGTON. Jan. 17.-Hon. George
Bancroft, the venerable historian, died
at his home in this city to-day. He had
been sick only two days and was on the
streets but three days ago. On Thurs
day he took to his bed as a matter of
precaution, but was taken seriously i'll
yesterday. From that time until this
afternoon he failed rapidly and all day
to-day lowered between life and death.
At 8 p. m. the doctors left, thinking
that Mr.. Bancroft would live through
the night, but before that hour was up,
Mr. Bancroft was dead. His end was
quiet and peaceful. The cause of his
death was simply the weakness of old
age.
The deceased was born Oct. 8, 1900.
He graduated from Harvard in 1917 and
then studied abroad for five years. His
History of the United States was not
completed until 1874, and is the stan
dard work on the subject.

LATER


ALGIERs, Jan. 17.---It would seem that
unless miracle happens or the wealth
er changes radically within very
short time, the inhabitants of Sebdon,
a small town in the Tlemsan district of
the Province of Oran will starve to
death. About week ago information
reached the city of Tlensan that the
inhabitants of Sebdon were showed in
from escape and that they were slowly
starving to death. Their stocks of pro-
visions had run out before the bearer of
the alarming news reached Tlemsan
and it was said that the horses, mules
and even the few camels at Sebdon
were being killed for food.

A Slick Young Fellow.

St. Paulites are being victimized by
slick young fellow who goes from house
to house and tells the inmates that
there is a package at one or the other
of the express offices which he will
deliver to them upon payment of the
charges, which he is out collecting. Of
course there isn't any package down at
the express Office, but he is gone before
they find it out and they are minus
every cent they gave him. A good
many have been fooled by this fraud.

the reason that they had ceded all their

therefore directs that the cases of the
