Mayor Carter H. Harrison was this after
noon ordered by Judge Richard S. Tuthill

in connection with any responsibility for
the wholesale loss of life in the Iroquois
TEeater fire.
The Judge declared that the mayor was

Harrison held to the grand jury had put an
unjust stigma upon the mayor, who had
failed in no particular whatever. either in
omission commission.
Following his release, Mayor Harrison
made the following statement to the Asso-
ciated Press:
1.-The only possible feature which the jury
was able to find connecting me with the
Irouuois fire disaster was the alleged negli-
gence and incompetency OF my appolnteeS,
Fire Chief Musham and Building Inspector
Williams. 1 want to call attention to the
fact that Chief Musham has been connected
with Chicago the fire department for forty
wears beginning at the bottom OF the lad

assistant chief by the gallant and heroic
conduct of lifetime. Upon the retirement
of Chief Swenie l appointed Musham chief.
The appointment was tSrfctly on merit, ana

sioner became vacant last summer invited
the Builders Club. the Association of Ar

professional organizations to nominate the
best available man for the vacancy. They
joined in nominating Mr.. Williams. a repub-

upon his duties. Both these men were con-
sidered ideal appointments. The imputatlon
of guilt upon these two men Is entirely UNI
justifiabl but to strike at me, over their
shoulders. is little short of infamy."

Careless About the Words.

To illustrate the point, DR.. Murch, an
American missionary at Luxor told me OF
an Arab boy who was sent to town by his
father to buy donkey and succeeded IN
securing an excellent animal for f3. which
is a very low price. Dr. Murch, who hap
pened to be going in the same direction
crossed the river in the same boat, and ac-
companied the donkey buyer and his COM
papions on their journey. While they were
rowing the boat they timed their strokes to
q familiar melody, the words being simply:
He cost e.: he cost f3; he Is a fine donkey
he is worth f6; he is worth Is; he is worth
e." After they had landed on the other
side of the river. mounted their donkeys
and started down the road, they resumed
the primitive melody, reiterating in unison
the same words over and over again for
miles. The natives have few tunes to which
they adapt similar simple words suggested
by circumstances that occur at the mo-

were marked off by burrows showing the
area allotted to each plowman. Some Of
the plows were drawn by camels. some by

they are of the very same pattern that was
used in the time of Moses-a crooked stick

"Holystoned" With Their Feet.

AS we were approaching the landing place
l witnessed a curious custom. The native
sailors of a big ship which was tied up at
the dock Were scrubbing the deck holy
stoning.' sailors call it-with their bare
feet. The deck was first flooded with water
from hose. Then the men went about and
sprinkled it with sand, when twelve brawny
sailors. wearing nothing but breechclouts
and turbans, formed in close line with their
hands upon each others shoulders and
slowly shufTiod back and forth polishing
the deck with the soes of their feet They
sang a rhythmical song to keep the time,
as Mississippi negroes do when they are
rolling" cotton. The Arabs always sing
when they are al work but this was
peculiar song in the minor key, and from
what l could pick up from Ahmed it had
reference to their work. They began at
one end of the deck and secured it to the
other. moving very slowly without lifting
their feet from the planks. After they had
passed over the entire surface a hose was
brought out. the sand was washed off and
the deck shone like a ball room floor.
Like the songs of our southern negroes.
the Arab melodies are merely a jingle of
words without meaning. and are intended
to stimulate activity and crafty the love
of rhythm and melody that is Unborn among
all half civilized people.

Chiseled Out of the Mountain.

These tombs, which are the most won

of the granite mountains In a natural am
phitheater at the end of narrow gorge
about four miles from the Nile Some of
them are reached by long staircases de-
scending into the earth from so to 100
feet and then extending like the tunnel of
a mine distance of from three to four
and five hundred feet with chambers for
the reception of presents and offerings,
temples for worship and apartments for
the burial of the other members of the royal
families and their favorite servants. Other

LUXOR, Egypt, December %, 1903.
Several years ago number of valuable
and important relics of ancient Egypt sud-
denly and mysteriously appeared in the
curio market. Several tourists brought to
the museum at Cairo, to the British Mu-
scum in London and other institutions re-
markable finds which they purchased
from dealers and street peddlers at Luxor
The matter was reported from one museum
t. another and became the subject of gos-
sip among archaeologsts and collectors
and firally came to the attention of the
Egyptian authorities, who, after brief
inquiry, became convinced that tombs of
the PharaohS, unknown to professional
archaeologists. had been discovered and
were being rifed by Arab vandals. The
police took up the case, and soon developed
a most astonishing chain of circumstances.
1t appeared that an Arab grave robber,
living among the ruins of Thebes, dscov-
cred the tomb of a royal parsonage and re-
Vealed the secret to his two brothers and
one of his sons, who assisted him in secur-
ing such portion of its contents could
be taken away without detection and sold
to chance tourists. From time to time the
lucky discoveries of this mine of wealth
replenshed their stores by midnight visits.
Among the articles found were writings on
p&pyrus, scarabs and ornaments of gold
and silver, and other things usually found
in tombs, which threw new light upon GER
tain dark corners of Egyptian history. and
T. was proved that the thieves had revealed
Veritable museum of antiquities. When
this knowledge finally came to the govern
ment thorough exploration was made I'M
der the direction of the director of an

tombs cut out of a rocky hillside containing
the bodies of twelve kings and twenty
seven other members of the royal families
of Egypt from the seventeenth to the
tWenty-first dynasties, who had been buried
between 1900 and 1000 B. c.
1t was the most sensational and the most
valuable discovery ever made in Egypt and
you may imagine the qualification that was
felt upon unroling the first mummy to
find that it was the body of Rameses II,
the greatest of all the Egyptian emperOrs.
Among others were his father. Seti l. his
grandfather, Rameses |, and his grandson,
