The Danville Register prints COM

monwealth's Attorney of that city, in
which he complains sorely of Danville's
poor street car service, and incidentally
SAYS that the street car line was built
under a franchise eXempting the COM
pany from taxation for a period Of thirty
,,ears adding that since the exemption
was granted the Court Of Appeals has
decided that all such exemptions are IL
legal and that on the motion of any clu-
zen the city can be compelled TO tax this
company precisely as all other enter
prises are taxed. Not only so, but the
company may be required 90 pay Dack
taxes as well. There are other enter
prises in Danville which, if we mistake
not. enjoyed exemption from taAauoh

The Untruthful Mummy,

We saw only the outer gardens and
the museum, the chief attraction OF
which is a magnificent marble sarco-
phagus decorated with bass-reliefs OF
Alexander the Great. On one side the
conqueror Is represented as routing the
Persians. and on the other side there
Is a lively struggle with a wild boar
The guide book does not certify that
Alexander ever occupied the sarcopha.
gus, but the guide assured me that he
had. The collection of statues, bronz-
es and sarcophagi Is interesting and
immensely valuable, and / would like
to copy some of the descriptions from
the guide book. but space forbids.
One Egyptian mummy case had a
Stranger forbear" kind of an inscrip-
ton on it. The guide furnished me
with liberal translation, The king
on the inside of the case, "swathed in
spicery and fine linen," had caused this
injunction to be placed on the lid of
his sarcophagus:
do not disturb these mortal re-
mains, for there is naught within this
easement except my poor body. There
is neither gold nor precious jewelry to
reward the covetous."
The antiquarians who uneamhed the
sarcophagus did not respect this appeal.
When they examined the mummy
wrapped inside of the box they found
several pieces of gold clasped in the
right hand, which proves that an Or
iental will lie even after death.-Egyp-

MONARCH IN CAPTIVITY
How Samory the Dethroned African
King Is Existing.

Some interesting details in regard to
the present condition of Samory, the
dethroned African monarch, have just
been received by the French Minister
OF the Colonies. Samory is now at
Hayes. where he occupies camp.
which is guarded by company of SOL
diers. He has fifteen wives with him,
and sixteen of his children and several
servants. He spends his time in read
Ing the Koran and smoking cigarettes.
To outward seeming Samory is calm
and contented, but at heart he is quite
the reverse. He cannot rid himself
OF the idea that he will be murdered
some day and whenever one of his
guards happens to fire a shot he is con-
fident that his last hour has come. He
brooded so much over his coming doom
that he quite lost his senses recently,
and made a determined but futile effort
to commit suicide.
Samory still retains with him few
pieces Of his barbaric furnit lre but all
his gold and silver treasure, which
mainly consists of gold rings and silver
plates, has been conflscated by the
French government and is to be sold.
His silver cuirass, however. massive
IN the War Museum at Paris. Sam
ory, it is said, has grieyed much pver
the loss of these treasures, and 1t is
considered doubtful whether his cap
tors, no matter how kindly they may
treat him, will ever be able to reconcile
him to his lot.
