LAST OF THE RACE OF PHARAOH,
Mummy Of An Egyptian Princess Can.
not be Found.

Prof. Croft, the Psychologist, writes
from Ghizeh about Pharaohnic num-
mies at the Ghizeh museum, confirm
ing the tradition that the scenes de-
scribed in the first chapters of the
Book of Exodus took place under the
reign of Rameses II and his son, Me-
rentah. The pharaoh's daughter OF
the Bible was Princess Bent ANITA, and
the great magician of that tima,
Hamus, another son of Rameses II.
The mummies of the latter had been
discovered, but it was thought that OF
Mamus was missing Mr. Croft now
has identified one of the mummies as
that of the prince and magician
|Hamus and verified the writing ON the
shroud as "Ra-I Ia-mus.'
after having opened the case in
which the mummy is kept he says,
"and carefully removing the outer
cloth covering. there appeared written
pn the shroud, just over the breast Of
The mummy, His majesty commanded
in the seventh year, third month Of
tine season of planting. sixth day, to
be put in order the mummy of Prince
Hamus.' This proves that the OBJ
5ect of my research was correct, that
the name is not Rahamus as hereto
fore supposed, but llamus, that of the
great magician with whom | had al
ready identified the mummy"
Thus, with one exception, all the
mummies of the principal royal per-
sons spoken of in the first chapters of
Exodus Rameses II, the Pharaoh of
the Exodus, IIamus, the great MAJ
gician, are still extent at Ghizeh.
There still lacks the mummy of Prin.
cess Bent Anita, PharaOh's daughter,
the foster mother of Moses. Ger. in
indications on her sarcophagus lead
one to suppose the mummy had been
destroyed, but it is probably in some
tomb in the valley near 4hebes, hid
den with other princesses and queens.

the one representative Of England's
authority who refused to surrender.
She ordered the Beers out of her office

ONE MORE CASE.
A ledger at 435 West Ohio Street suf-
fering from Smallpox.

Another case of smallpox was reported to
the Board of Health last night. The patient
is Samuel Stith, of Louisville, living in the
lodging house of Mrs. Carrie Brown, ABS
West Ohio street. All the parties are coll
ored. This morning Stith will in all prob
ability be removed to the pesthouse. The
health authorities are unable to CLEAN much
information concerning his case. They have
gathered that Stith lived while in Louisville
at No 4S5 West Fourth street He had only
been there few weeks, going to that city
from here. A month ago he was employed
IN the home of August Leauty, gunsmith
at l4S West Washington street To the
closest questioning last night he was unable
10 give any information to how he might
nave been exposed to the disease in Louis
vile. Nor were the officials able to ascer-
tam anything to indicate he might have ac
CURED II mere. He returned from Louisville
last Friday. On Sunday he became i'll and
he has been in his room since then. At the
rooming house it is claimed he did not come
IN contact with any OF the other roomerS.
Dr. Clark nevertheless placed the house
under quarantine. DIR. Wagner, who was
called in TO confirm the diagnosis, said last
night that While the case was undoubtedly
smallpox, 1t was of a varioloid form and not
calculated to create much disturbance. To-
day the board will decide what is necessary
relative to removing the case to the pest
house.
DR.. Clark yesterday visited the proposed
new pesthouse located in the shooting park.
He found it most admirably suited to
the purpose and will to-day order such ar
rangements made as may be necessary to
make 1t a habitable place. The buildings are
sufficiently isolated and by proper care can
be converted into good contagious disease
hospital Every care is being taken of the
persons confined in the houses that are still
under quarantine.
