FUNERAL Of Mr..
BANCROFT TO BE
Held TOMORROW
Services at His Late Home,
But the Interment Will
be Private
HIS ART COLLECTION
ONE OF BEST IN Land

The funeral of Samuel Bancroft,
Jr.. manufacturer, publisher and
financier, will be held from his late
home, Rockford. tomorrow afternoon,
at three o'clock. when services will
be held. Interment will be private.
It is a request of the family that
flowers be omitted. Conveyances will
meet trains at the Pennsylvania and
Baltimore and Ohio railroad stations.
In addition to his many industrial
and financial activities. Mr.. Bancroft
was a great lover of art, and his col
lection of Pre-Raphaelite paintings is
regarded as extremely valuable, mas
much as II is the only complete col
lection Of paintings of the English
e-Raphaelite school in the United
States.
Mr.. Bancroft did not have a gallery
| for his famous paintings, water col
ors, etchings and photographers, but
he arranged them TO suit his fancy
and critical eye within the spacious
halls and rooms of his residence.
Some idea of the magnitude of Mr..
Bancroft's art collection may be gain
ed from the fact that at the show at
the Academy of Fine Arts. in Phila-
delphia, in 1892, Mr.. Bancroft ex-
hibited 1O7 of the 2O5 paintings dis
played there. Since then he has added
many priced specimens to his col
! lection.
Three of the most valued paintings
owned by Mr.. Bancroft were Mary
Magdalene," by Rossetti: "The Lady
Lilith," by Rossetti, and THE Corsair. q
| by Ford Maddox Brown. His collec-
ton is regarded by art lovers gen.
orally as one of the foremost in this
country from the viewpoint Of value
and expert discrimination in selec-
ton of the works comprising it.

START BUILDING
NEW LINE SOON
It is Now Thought That Proposed
New Railway 10 q
Certainty
4 PROFITABLE VENTURE
Promoters Claim New Road Will
Open Up a Fine Territory
and Pay From the Start

1t is expected that work will
commence ON the proposed line of
railroad through from Waubay to
,Hankinson, N. D., connecting with
the Paramount & Veblen line at
both Grenville and Ellington, with
the northern terminal at Hankin-
son.
C. H. Henderson, the promoter
of the proposed line, stated that
practically all of the preliminary
preparations were in shape to
commence work as soon as he
ascertained if there would be suf-
ficient business to warrant the
line being constructed this year.
The bond issue has been floate1,
he claims, and the money for
construction purposes is avail
able at any time.
The company is not asking for
any bonus, nor is there any stock
for sale. All that is being asked is
terminal sites and the support of
the people enroute. The surveys
have already been completed.
The advantages of such line
running north and south through
this section of the state would be
many and varied. At present there
is no connecting line between the
western terminus of the Fair
mount & Veblen line at Grenvill.,
people wishing to reach Grenville
by rail having to go into Mime
sofa and then double back west.
The territory this line proposes to
open up is one of the richest in
the state, and highly productive.
