NEW FINDS IN ARMS AND ARMoR
How the Archaeological Fields Of Egypt
Have Been Despoiled.
From the New York Evening Post.

The collector and the archaeologist are
under obligations to the railway as well as
to professional explorers for many speci-
mems of arms and armor of which hereto
fore very few were known to exist The
largest number unearthed in the past five
years was found by the Ameineau expedi-
ton in Egypt The conduct of this party
has already excited adverse criticism among
Psychologists the world over. The many
goods discovered appear to have been pur-
Joined or con1scated by employees and sent
to Paris, where they are now to be found
in the shops of the dealers, whereas the
understanding, II not the official contract,
called for their division among the Royal
Egyptian Museum of Gizeh and the various
governments represented in the Egyptian
regime There are comparatively few
weapons of any sort in the museum, not so
many, in fact, as may be found in the store
of dealer in Paris.
In this connection collector said: There
is no doubt that there has been very ex-
tensive Misrepresentation, but think 1t is
due more to the laborers than to the officers
of the expedition. The Workingmen who
are employed are paid ridiculously small
wages, and they know perfectly we'll the
VALVE of their treasure troVe. They are
apt to steal it; just as the KaffirS steal dia-
monds in South Africa when working in
the Kimberley pits. The Egyptian collec-
ton at Gizeh, formerly Boulak, contains
many daggers, breastplates and few bows,
arrows, spears and swords. l question If
there are more than 200 altogether from
the first dynasties down to the end of the
Ptolemaic age, while there must be several
hundred at the present time in Paris The
remarkable activity in Egyptian exploration
has excited both the fellaheen and the
bedouin, whose imaginations have been in
famed by wild stories of gold, silver and
precious stones found everywhere, and these
are now digging on their own account de-
stroying whatever seems to them to have
no particular value. 1t is good thing for
dealers, but very bad thing for science"

ROMANCE IN SUN DIALS.
They Fell Into Disuse in England
After 1884.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
One of the most interesting reminders of
DAYS long dead, to US Of the present, is the
sun dial. In the lawns of fine old manor
houses it stands gray and worn, its weather
beaten face upturned to the sun. as it has
stood, perhaps, for centuries. 1t has marked
the passage of time, which it has defied.
And now that its day is done, its part in the
world long since played out, still it stands,
SCARED and useless, but with value and
charm all It's own. This charm, which is
something intangible, indefnable, we feel
aud linger long, watching the old dial tell
its story Of the flight of time, and dream
ing of those others who have stood there
before u.s. With the dial weaving its magic
spell about US, we see them, motley as
semblage, wearing the garb of many ages
ard many lands. They are both old and
young; but strangely, the young linger
longest by the sun dial! In some mystical
way 1t seems in touch with life itself, and
they wait for 1t to read the riddle. But by

Chinese Tramp.
From the Denver Post.


Mystery surrounds a Chinaman who is
haunting the union depot. He is bum,
and the only Chinese bum ever known. The
oriental first appeared at the depot one
night last week The police thought he was
waiting for a train and no particular atten-
ton was paid to him. The next night he
was again at the depot. Policeman Clark or
dered him away. The Chinaman went away,
but returned in an hour. He had lunch in
his pocket and a handful of cigar stubs he
had picked up. He made himself comfort
able by a radiator and refused to move.
II never heard of a bum chink before"

A CARLYLE Anecdote.

From the London Daily Chronicle.
An unpublished anecdote of Carlyle was
yesterday told at a meeting of subscribers
to the British School at Athens by Thomas
Hodgkins, D. c. L., having reached him by
oral tradition; an anecdote which should
endear Carlyle to those ex-school boys who
have nothing but dour and dolorous recol-
lections of early Greek history. Happily re-
cent research has filled it with more pic
torial interest. These scholars" said Car
lyle, make their books so dry. There's
Connoy Thirlwall; he wrote the History of
Greece, and when 1 took up the first vol
ume it was full of nothing but discussions
about the Pelasgians, Leleges, Carans and
Dolopes, Doiopes, Dolopes." Then he sub
sided into himself, and during the rest of
the evening was muttering nothing but
''Dolopes, Dolooes, Dolopes.

"JACK" LUCAS
CHASES BURGLAR

) r ACK LUCAS and Harry Whitne,
1 figured in a thrilling episode Wed
/ ~ nesday evening about 8 O'Clock
which has placed both of them in the
front rank as sleuths and sprinters
The story was told yesterday that they
had a trying experience with a sup
Eposed member of the light-fngered fra
1 ternity. in which a revolver and ar
electric car played important parts.
The two men were seated on the
! porch of Jack" Lucas residence on
Lunalilo street when they heard the
sound of men running along the side
walk Taking the cue from recent eN-
periences with burglars and thieves OF
which they had heard, both gentlemen
were on the alert. It was quite dark.
but as they peered out into the street,
they discerned the flying figures OF
three men. one somewhat in advance
of the other, two. They were running
in the direction of Pensacola street,
the men in the rear shouting as they
pursued the fieet-footed one in the
van. The thought flashed across the
minds of Jack Lucas and Harry
Whitney that the man in front was
either burglar, petty thief, or a hold
up, and that the men in the rear were
angry citizens in hot pursuit.
A plan Of action was instantly hit
upon. Jack" FASTENED into the house,
procured a big, long revolver and, as
Stunning command OF the forlorn hope,
gave the order to charge on the enemy.
Harry Whitneys longer legs gave him
the lead and he was the first to reach
the gate, Jack closely following.
clutching his revolver and ready to
level 1t at the flying form far in the
lead. 1t is not known whether Jack"
gave orders before leaving the house to
telephone to the police station to have
the patrol wagon sent up to the scene
or not, but If not the neglect was due
to lack of time to attend to such an in
detail. The two men fol-
lowing the one IN front interfered with
Jack" drawing a bead, and both the
settled down to long, stern
chase.
An electric car was coming down
Pensacola street, a shaft of light from
it's headlight cutting a path through
the darkness on that thoroughfare. |
Against this light the pursuers had a |
good view of the three men in front. |
The shouting continued and then it |
was apparent that the three were ia
panese. AS the car rounded the curve |
and swung into Lunalilo street, the
trio in the van waved their hands fran /
-ically to the motorman and conductor
and the car stopped. All the Japanese
quickly mounted the running board and
took seats. hopping their faces after
their long run to catch that especial
,ar.
Jack" and Harry arrived on the
corner in time to see the Japanese go
aboard, and for a moment neither
spoke. Jack" put up his gun, and
without more ado both turned and
vent back to the porch to ruminate.

JANUARY 18TH.

Nine years ago today the revolution
which overthrow the royal government
of Hawaii came and passed. The peo-
pie Of this place saw kingdom at sun
rise and at sunset a land with an ad
interim government. the object OF
which was annexation to the United
States.
1t was fateful day. one productive
OF both good and i'll. but mostly of
good There was not much use in try
ing to keep Hawaii independent. IRE
spective of the quarrel between the
Queen and the Good Government party
1t was enough to know that the trend
OF events the world over was towards
the absorption of small insular states
by great mainland powers. Given a
war on the Pacific and any first-class
maritime power. in extremities for a
base, would not respect the integrity of
Hawaii. Especially would that be true
of a nation at war with the United
States. Each power would try for the
group; one or the other would sue
coed.
This heiplessness in the midst of a
wide sea made annexation a process OF
destiny. Fortunately the group was
absorbed In the end by a free State.
Union with the United States was

only emphasized the fact that separate
existence could not be maintained The
Japanese sent alleged free laborers and
students here whose object was to Sc
cure the ballot on the same terms as
other foreigners; and this, in the final
analysis, meant an Asiatic Legislature
and Executive. Annexation at what
ever cost was better than that.
On the whole the results of the ces-
sion OF 1895 have been beneficial. Sta

The great good that was done In 1896
by the Hawaiian handbook issued by
Hon. Henry E. Cooper, then Minister
Of Foreign Affairs. justifies another
and revised edition at public expense.

bringing agricultural coionists here
and it was freely drawn upon by peri
odical writer's. Private pamphlets Of
the kind are more or less under suspi-

ers or other boomers had nothing to do

The planters are doing well to take
the Porto Rican suspects out of town
and put them at work. In carrying on
this plan, the High Sheriff is lending
his aid, the District Magistrate Is
stiffening his sentences and many char

food to Porto Rican beggars. Between
them all the city should soon be rid of
the worst class among its recent immi-
grants.
