The Venerable Historian Expires 4
Washington in His 91st Year.

Washington in His 91st Year.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.--George Ban.
croft, the venerable historian, died at
his residence in this city yesterday. II
had been realized that Mr.. Bancroft
could hardly survive much longer the
increasing infirmities incident to his
extremely old age, but he had been in
cheerful spirits and apparently better
health this year, since his return from
Newport, than for several seasons past,
so that his death was sudden and unex-
pected to all save few intimate friends
who knew of the attack of illness which
carried him off. Death occurred at $40
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The end
was quiet and peaceful, and came after
a period of Inconsistencies lasting
about "a hours.
Mr.. Bancroft for some years past had
been in the habit of spending about
five months in Newport and pass
ing the winter and colder season
of the year in Washington. Two
years ago he had severe attack
Of sickness, which kept him in bed
for four or five weeks, and as he was
then in his seth year, grave apprehen-
sions were felt for his life. He recovered,
however, though never after that as
strong as he had formerly been. He
came to this city from Newport last Oc-
tober, feeling better than for some time
past. He was in fine health and spirits,
had an excellent appetite and good
faculty for sleep until last week, when
he caught slight cold lie had always
lived carefully but generously, and had
said repeatedly within the last six
weeks that he had never slept better nor
had better appetite. Notwithstanding
his cold he continued to seek outdoor
exercise every day until Thursday, when
he took to his bed as a matter of precau-
ton. His whole illness was less than
three days. He failed rapidly yesterday
and became unconscious in the after
noon, in which state he remained until
the end. His son, John q. Bancroft,
who, with his wife, kept house for the
historian, was with him in his last
moments. The attending physician, DIR.
Wales, had left the house short time
before, as Mr.. Bancroft looked then as
if he would live through the night.
1t was decided last evening to hold
funeral service at II o'clock next Tues
day morning in st. Johns Episcopal
Church. The interment will take place
at Worcester, Mass, where Mr.. Ban
roft's wife is buried.
The deceased was a native of Worces-
ter and was born October 9th, 1900.

A CATHOLIC AND A MASON.

In Life Lawrence Barrett Was Both, but
Received Extreme Unction.
New York, March 26.-Inquiry by
the New York Sun develops the fact
that Lawrence Barrett was Free
Mason. Father Sherman, who admin
istered extreme JUNCTION to the dying
tragedian, says he was aware Of the
fact at the time, as Mrs. Barrett had
told him. He also said he informed
Archbishop Corrigan that his dying
friend was Mason, but he offered no
objection as long as there was
to be no Masonic rites. Father Sher-
man says: "When began to admins
ter the sacrament to Mr.. Barrett he was
unconscious. In tho middle of it he
opened his eyes and recognized me. /
told him that was amounting him. and
he said Thank YOU l told him to hold
out his hand, and he did SO. From his
Willingness to receive the sacrament,

of the Holy Church. l would have
administered this sacrament to any
