vice rules in the Federal departments, the
Illinois Republican Association, having
their headquarters in Washington D. G.,
have concluded to disband. The orgauiza-

in Washington. 1t has some three hun
dred members and has, in tho past sent
many voters home to vote, besides distrb'
uting large quantities of campaign litera-
ture, in addition to making liberal contri-
buttons to campaign funds. The political
clubs in Washington have about five thou
sand members and their contributions to
campaign funds will be greatly missed.
President Mckinley should have declared
himself on the Civil Service business be-

Who Owns Our Streetsf

We think the Brandywi Springs road
should have the right to have terminal
In our city. At the same time We don't
think the road should Tor one minute be
given the right to parallel the Wilmington
City Railway. Every new electric road
that would contribute towards the Inn
provements Of our city should be allowed
o terminal station In the city. Whining
ton Is notyet ready to have fence placed
around 1t, and no corporation or set Of
men should have the right to say what
public improvements should be made that
would have tendency to help our mer-
chants and bring visitors to our grass GOV.
cred streets. The threat about suing the
Street and Sewer Commissioners If the
franchise is granted the Brandywins
Springs Road is all humbus. We should
like to sec such a suit tried before jury
composed of twelve Wilmingtonians.
Tho people are not yet all fools. The citi-
Gems have some rights that the Street and
Sewer Commissioners should give careful
consideration. Every public improvement
like the building Of new electric roads
running into our city, is benefit to our
citizens in Wilmington and should be en-
couraged as much as possible by the pub.
lie. The granting Of the franchise asked
to the Brandywine Springs road would
not injure the Wilmington City Railway
one dollars worth, In fact 1t would be
help to the road, as it would bring passen.
gers to tho city over Its road that would be
compelled to use tho Wilmington City
Railway to reach the different parts of the
city, thereby proving benefit to 1t. We
can't for the life Of us see why the Will
mington City Railway should resort to
threats toward the Street and Sewer Com
mission to try to keep that body Of two
gentlemen from granting the franchise
asked. II the Wilmington City Railway
Company has the exclusive privilege Of
our streets, why ask the Street and Sewer
Commission for the privilege?
The miners Of Pennsylvania have been
held up SO often that now they arc attempt
ing to hold up the mine owners and try
and get living wages out of these heartless
corporations, SO they can give their wives
aud children three square meals day and
clothe them comfortably. Strikes are bad
things and the law, if such thing is pos
sible, should step in ndprotect the miners
In the matter of wages. The price of coal
when 1t reaches the consumers in Will
mington, is surely high enough to pay the
miners twice the wages they receive and
then leave q handsome profit for somebody
else beside. Tho retail price of coal and
the miners wages do not agree and it is a
pity the men cannot get what is duo them
for the labor they perform in digging tho
black diamonds out of tho bowels OF the
Earth.

Then with incredible quickness and
without u~ttering u word he drew a
~stiletto from his breast, plunged it into
my bosom and darted down the CORR
dor. j fell fuinting to the floor, but be-
fore | lost consciousness l heard u long,
blood Curdling scream, followed by q
deathly silence, and knew no more.
l returned to consciousness in the
humble hut Of q fellah near the scene
of my explorations, wh!Nher / had been
conveyed by my men, who had found
me insonsible III the thick darkness Of
the vaulted chamber. l had lowered for
weeks between life and death, but the
anxious care of u physician whom the
Scientific society had sent me on hear
ing Of my wound finally restored me to
consciousness and life. No tidings of
DR.. Batcsi had been received.
AS soon rs | was able | revisited the
tomb. OF it's former treasures not an
atom remained. The wretched fellahs,
who are not permitted to sell any Of the
treasures of antiquity which they may
discover, had taken all away to dis
member them at their leisure, in order
to sell the fragments surreptitiously to
tourists. The body of tho priest haS
disappeared with the other contents OF
the tomb.
Feebly and disconsolately 1 crawled
along one of the corridors which seemed
to me to be the one down which l had
thrown the crystal vase. Suddenly my
torChbearer, who was in advance, start
ed back with a cry of horror. Advanc-
ing cautiously, l found myself looking
down into n wide pit which was sunk
perpendicularly in tho center of the
passage. l threw a pebble down it, but
no sound of its fall returned to NY ears
from the thick ~blackness below.
AS | turned, weary and sick at heart,
my foot struck a soft object. 1t was a

The mex day found me on my way to
the dahabeah which was to take me down
the Nile. After my litter hi | been
placed ON board, looking up at the bank
l CHANGED to see a tall, majestic figure,
richly clad in garments of strange and
ancient fashion, gazing intently upon
the boat, and, as it seemed, at me.
"Who is that MANI" l asked my
servant.
"Ho is a stranger, excellency, q
newcomer. They call him Neffar. He
is very wise, they say, very wise and
very rich, but he talks little. Some say
he has the evil eye, but l do not know. -
The dahabcah cast of from the shore
and with Il favoring breeze shot swiftly
down the stream. AS we swept down,

fitted its place SO closely that the point
Of a penknife could hardly have been
inserted between the stone and the solid
rock of the gallery. Beyond an entrance
80 carefully closed and concealed there
must be new and rare treasures, and it
was with considerable excitement that
i began to consider how to remove the
obstacle in the passageway. Pressure,
found, had no effect upon it, and there
remained no way but to blast it. I ac-
cordlngly sent for drills and sledaes,
and o had two gangs Of fellahs at
work sinking two holes on each side of
the slab.
BY taking advantage Of the almost
imperceptible interstices between the
stone n the wall the work was some-
what accelerated, and several hours
labor resulted In two holes some eight
inches deep. These l half filled with
powder, properly tamped the charges,
inserted fuses, lit them and retired with
due promptitude. The deep silence of
perhaps a minute was at length broken
by a deafening crash, followed by in
termlnable echoes and a strong blast of
aulphurous air.
Allowing time for the fumes Of the
powder to dissipate, we returned and
found the great slab had been hurled
inward, where it lay, broken into sew
ora pieces, upon the floor Of a noble
corridor Of great width and height.

a moments examination satisfied me
chat this was the real or main tomb, to
which the other had merely served as
an antechamber or perhaps had been
placed there as a blind to deceive those
who might search for the principal
structure. Here the passages were un-
usually spacious and lofty and were
decorated with paintings far excelling,
both in design and coloring, those I had
been copvina.
~JServousIy pressing on e.opyn oil, y..
