which has been kept here at Mrs. NJ. D..
Mason's since the Governors death, was
Oslerized Cor chlorotormed) Tuesday
evening. He had reached the advanced
age of IS years and was as lively and
brisk as yonng colt, but he had lost all
histeeth and it was thought best to put him
out of the way. In 1877 he was one of a
pair of prize winners at the Shenandoah
Valley Fair, and he had outlived two of
his driving mates. He was handsome
sorrel and was mnch beloved by his
owner.-Free Press.

ture Forbiddne and Stern.
Especial Correspondence.)


No sightseeing tour OF Spain is
corial, the Pantheon of the country,
or royal place of entombment, in
which lie buried all the princes OF
Spain who have died in the past 300
years. 1t Is said to be the gloomiest
building in the world, as 1t is one OF
the largest. Theopile Gautier advises
any one who thinks himself unhappy
to go to the Escorisl for a brief visit;
1t will make him content with his lot
to reflect that he does not have to
stay there.
The Escorial has no counterpart In
any other country in christendom. 1t
was built by religious zealot, Phillip
ii, and combines a church, a monas-
terry, tomb house, and a palace. Its
architecture is stern and forbidding,
and its location one of the most in
hospitable in Spain. 1t stands 200
feet above sea level on the side OF a
barren mountain, facing a high val
ley, about thirty TS.les from Madrid.
In summer the winds here carry dust
and heat, destroying vegetation. In
winter wild blasts howl down from
the snow-capped peaks and the icy
hills. and make the place uninhabit-
able to all but the robust. Worse eli.
matte conditions cannot be found any
where in the country.
The situation for the Escorial suited
the taste of Phillip, who wished to re.
tire from his court to devote himself
to life of religious penance and cas-
tigation. No phase of nature was toe
severe to overmatch the mood of me
king, and he gave the order to build
the Escorial against the judgment OF
architects and his advisers pf the
court. Work on the building was be
gun April 23, 1868. 1t was completed
in 1884. Its name was derived from
escoriae. the dross of iron mines, still
| found in the neighborhood.

Both Regan and Lang breathed
easier Regan was a designing, IL not
bold rascal. His assistance TO Lang
was not given OF his own accord. In
describing Lang to Golden, 1t was nee
essary to tell about Louis scheme for
raising" the $4,000 and Golden had
placed Regan on watch to guard
against failure. and possible treach-
cry on Louis part. Knowing that
Louis failure would mean his own
with Golden, Regan had been forced
20 extend helping hand.
Without more ado the bills were
counted out and handed to Lang.

In ten minutes, when the bank presi-

on the track of the two it was too
late, they were swallowed up among
the masses.
We will skip over the events OF the
next twenty four hours, and inform the
reader OF few things reported in the
evening papers the following day. First
there was a column and a half about
"a Detective Robbed" A most sensa-
tional description because the perpe-
traitors of the crime were known. The
life history of Lang and Regan was
given, filled with abuse against Regan
especially. The account ended up
with the usual stereotyped expression:
The police hope to capture the pair
and are already on the trail, among
them Denver himself, Although the
villains have fully twenty-four hours
start there can be no reasonable eX-
cuse for the police to let them slip
through their fingers" etc. But they
escaped.
II was never Denver'S intention 20
have this robbery get into the papers.
His idea was to honor the disputed
draft when returned to him in the
regular routine of business. But be-
ing discovered. and having the check
prematurely thrust on him he was
forced to refute 1t for fear of spelling
his game. so it was given to the pub
lie. and sometime afterward Denver
quietly reimbursed the institution.
The same paper had another notice
to this effect: 1T is only known to a
faw that Simeon Golden, convicted Of
murder succeeded in making his es'
cape from Joliet-the second escape
only in the history Of this institution,
II is almost n certainty that he is in
Chicago, or has been within the past
