Bancroft's Death.

A dispatch dated Washington, Jan.
II, says:
The community is greatly shocked
this evening by the news of the death
OF George Bancroft, the venerable
historian. His death occurred at $40
o'clock this afternoon. The end was
quiet and peaceful and came after
period OF Inconsistencies lasting
about "a hours. Last week he caught
cold. Notwithstanding this he CON-
tinuad to seek outdoor exercise every
day until Thursday when he took to
bod as a matter OF precaution. It was
decided this evening to hold the
funeral services next Tuesday morn
ing. The interment will tale place
at Worcester, Mass, whore his wife is
buried.
George Bancroft, the American
historian, was born in Worcester,

STORE DETECTIVES.

They Have Become q Necessity In Dry
Goods Houses.
The detective has become q perma.
nent fixture in the big dry goods houses.
Not one of the uptown establishments
is without vigilant "tiy cop" and
many have as many as four or five men
detailed to do this kind of duty at this
time of the year, says the New York
Star. These men in not few cases
were selected on the advice of Inspector
Byrnes. The holiday season brings the
shoplifters and the petty thieves, male
and female, to the front, and they min
gle with the crowds which throng the
stores.
Pickpockets, too, find the busy stores
o profitable field for their art. The de-
tective, who, mayhap, is acting as floor
walker, or presiding with tape and
check blank ut some counter, has his
eyes open for this element of tie popu-
lation. Many "crook" feels n tap on
his shoulder and hears n whisper in his
ear to make e. hurried exit.
The shoplifters give the detectives the
most concern. Toys and small articles
are tumbled about in confusion on the
counters in the big stores, and while the
girl attending Is for the moment an
sv'ering some inquiry, or busying her
self with some detail OF her work, the
shoplifter essays to make q quick and
big haul.
The detective Is on the lookout for
this kind of customers, and few get
farther than the door. If they escape
one man, the scrutiny Of another, near
the entrance, will hardly fail to detect
the shoplifter's suspicious actions. With
all these precautions however, the big
stores annually lose large sum through
theft.

NEUROLOGICAL bElflEs.
Raro Statues Representing Two Of Then
Discovered In India.

Haro Statues Representing Two Of Them
Discovered In India.
The Pioneer OF Allohabad reports an
archaeological discovery of some i'm
portance at Maheswar, in the Rungpore
district, says the London Times. Some
children, while playing among ruins
there, unearthed two beautiful groups
of statuary, cut from the hard black
basaltic stone found near Gya. Both
represent NEUROLOGICAL deitiss, with
features of n Gr;eco- Buddhistic type.
The first is two feet in length by TWEEN
ty inches in breadth, with q depth of
six inches. It represents Vishnu or
Basudeb, the emblem of the preserving
power in nature. The central figure
stands on a lotus, and its four hands
grasp club, wheel, lotus and conch.
On the head is tiara three inches in
height, which, with the earrings, neck
lace, bracelets, waiSt-chain and sacred
thread, are rendered with a wonderful
degree of dclicacy and finish. To the
right and left stand figures of Lalzsmi,
the Goddess of Wealth, and Saraswati,
who patronizes learning, each ten inch
es in height. Round the central group
are seven minor deities armed with
bows and arrows, and riding on
horses and elephants. The entabla-
turc is surmounted by head of
the Avair, known as Nrisingha.
On the base is an inscription said to
be in the Landsa character. q mixed
form of Dcvanagiri and Thibetan. The
second piece of carving is smaller, and
the workmanship, though good, is not
equal to that of the other group. 1t is
sixteen inches high, twenty inches
broad and six inches deep, and repre-
sents Pauranic goddess. The figure
is seated on a lotus, and is four-armed
The lower left hand supports male in
FAINT, the corresponding right hand holds
a swcetmeat, and the two upper grasp
branches of trees. This group also has
an inscription in Landsa, which, how
ever, has defied elucidation. Both pieces
of sculpture are in excellent preserva-
ton, the tracery being rs clear-cut rs if it
had just left the artists hand. History
and tradition are alike silent as to the
origin of these curious relics; and it
will probably remain a puzzle how an
inscription in bastard Thibetan should
be discovered at so unlikely spot. The
keenest excitement was caused by the
discovery among the Hindu population.
Apart from the intrinsic value of the
carvings, which is considerable, they
are objects of worship. During their
temporary sojourn at the local police
station, they were visited by crowds
and smothered with sweet oils and
flowers. Various claimants came for
ward, and, in order to avoid litigation,
the district magistrate made them over
to the local Hindu religious association.
They have been built into the wall at
one end of its hall, where they were in
spccted with interest by Sir Stuart Bay
ley during his recent visit to Rungpore.

Indian Depreciation Claims i.

Just before adjournment, Congress
passed an Indian Depreciation law that
will probably put S50,0O0,OO0 in circu-

pay in full for all losses occasioned by
Indians. Henry NJ. Copp, the we'll

are about fifty names going in. For
the benefit of some of the 'croakers''
upon whose corns the Alliance will
tread, and who can see no good in any
movement that cannot be used as a
scheme for their own benefit we quote
from the Alliance constitution: PRO

faithful ties of financial and home in

of intentions. We therefore resolve
lst. To labor for the education of the
agricultural classes in the science of eco

a better understanding for sustaining
civil officers in maintaining law and
order. 5th. To constantly strive to
secure entire harmony and good will
among all mankind and brotherly love
among ourselves and SO on TO the end.
If these principles are carried out TO
their legitimate conclusions we can see
no reason why any of the agricultural
class should for moment hesitate TO
join their fortunes with the Alliance

fidently foreshadowed by the chairman
of the Farmers Alliance State Central
Committee of Kansas. Mr.. Dumbauld
says: 1.-The peoples party in Kansas

ABOUT OBITUARIES.

Some fault has been found with the
HERALD recently, for not publishing
obituaries that were sent by mail. Now
the columns Of the HERALD are always
open to the public for any purpose with
in reason, and if the writers who haye
a grievance will allow their memory to
run back to the writing of the COM
municahon they will have to admit the
fault was theirs.
In the first place the HERALD cannot
publish communication. no matter of
what nature, without knowing the
writers name. To do so would be to
father the article, and assert on mere
rumor what might turn out to be with
out foundation.
In the second place, every obituary
sent to this Office properly credited,
has always found place in some shape,
unless something similar has been
previously published. For commercial
reasons the HERALD cannot publish
obituary poetry free of charge. This
has been so often asserted with empha-
sis that it is wearisome to have to re-
peat, but some people seem to think
due respect cannot be shown to the de-
paired in any other manner. Ac-
company this with zen cents in cash
for each line and it will be published,
otherwise it is rewritten to give all the
essential facts as far as possible.
