FIND MUMMY
~ OF A KING
ANOTHER SENSATIONAL Dlscov-
cry Is MADE IN THEBES.

| Another sensational discovery says
the Chicago Chronicle, has been made
at Thebes, Theodore M. Davis, the
discoverer of the tomb of the parents
of the Egyptian Queen Teie, with all
its wealth of gold and royal furniture,
has just discovered the tomb and mum
my of Queen Teie herself.
Teie was the mother and inspirer
of the"famous hereto king" of Egypt
ology. Under the influence of his moth
er, Amenhotep w, of the eighteen dy-
nasty, broke and endeavored to intro
duce a new and foreign form of creed.
Among the less important objects
discovered under the debris with
which the floor of the tomb was lit
tered may be mentioned a beautiful
little glass vase, some bronzes with
the name of Teie, votive knives of
finely cut limestone, two red pebbles
symbolic OF the reddening of the lips
Of the mummy and three clay tablets,
which raise somewhat perplexing
historical question, as they commem-
orate 1.-The King Akh-en-Aten, the de-
ceased"
It is, however, remarkable how lit
lie funeral furniture has been found in
he tomb. The burial of the queen was
lot of the orthodox pattern; not only
vas her head substituted for those of
he genii of the head on the covers OF
he canopie jars, but there were no
shebtis of pottery. The queen was a
eretic and it may also be a foreigner.

MRS. EDDY
What a Minister Who Knows, Thinks
Of Her.

Rev. F. L. Phalen, of Fairhaven
Mass, says:
Il know Mrs. Eddy, and do not
know one fact against her. I have
read a lot of rumors, bushel of lies,
a ton of nonsense; but I will be just
to her-I do not know one solitary
thing against her womanhood, or her
evidently serious and noble purpose to
do good to humanity. I have never
met, or seen, or heard of anybody who
could prove in court OF law anything
against her purity, her honestly, her
spirituality. l have observed with in
creasing admiration that though she
is slandered and villified in the Chris
tian pulpit, and in the public press,
she has invariably maintained gentle
and Christian spirit Under the lash
of tongue and pen she maintains a
Christian womanliness. She practices
what she breaches. This confirms my
opinion that Mrs. Eddy, to speark very
and with careful conser-
vatism is a remarkable woman. She
is the most remarkable woman know
anything about in Europe or America
at this moment. She is the best known
woman, She has impressed her per-
and teachings upon the world
more than any other woman, and judy
I'd by the growth, the quality, and the |
influence of her disciples, her name
will live longer in history than that
If any other woman OF this century"

KANSAS CITY, March 22.-United

that is that she will never get them

we could only send over big enough
feet to wipe Japan from the sea. That

Fail place is Just across the road, and
surface indications there are as good

NORFOLK, Va. March 23.-To the
superficial eye the constructive work
at the jamestown Exposition appears
less advanced at present than 1t was
some months ago. This apparent re-
progression Is due to the sudden ac-
tivity of the host of the over-cautious
which followed the million dollar loan
from the Government. Money moves
the masses, and this money has NOV
ed matters amazingly at the EXPOSE
tion.
With the development of the great
Exhibit Palaces and most of the State
buildings some time ago, the grounds
presented very orderly appearance,
but the present confusion, incident to
the large, building operations Of be-
lated concessionaries and ohtres, has
temporarily married the picture. 1t
is, however. merely brief and trans.
itory episode In the constructive pro-
gress of this great enterprise, Sec
ond wind, as It were, which will land
the exposition on time and winner
for the opening day.
With the overwhelming rush. cruhs
and clatter of machinery and manip-
ulation, the work Is progressing at a
rapid rate, and out of this welter of
work and worry there win shortly
come forth a wonderland of order and
beauty.
The great Government pier is well
under way. and though presenting for
the moment a chaos OF material and
machinery, the contractors are certain
of having Il ready for the grand open-'

Further prospecting on the prop
erty Of Mr.. D. B. Joyce. on the old
Kite-shape track property on the
Hampshire pike, reveals the presence
Of about thirty-fve acres of phosphate
land, with a part of the land not yet
prospected The ledge OF rock runs
from eight feet to three feet in thick
ness, and will average perhaps four
feet. The analysis SO far taken shows
rs per cent. rock, but well-posted
phosphate men, who have inspected
the property think a part of the rock
will run even higher than this and that
there will be considerable export rock.
The overburden on part of the tract
is only about one foot in thickness,
a great deal of the dirt having been
heretofore scraped away to build the
old track This fact will make the
field all the more easily mined, and
all the more valuable. And apother
fact which adds. to the value Of the
field is the proximity to the railroad;
a spur track having been graded
to the land some years since, which
would make the completion of branch
road a matter of comparatively small
expense.
If the rock on the land will average
four feet in thickness, that means
about four thousand tens to the acre,
or lac, 900 tons on the part Of the tract
so far prospected The fact that the
rock is high grade, easily mined and
available, will make it very valuable
in the ground; few sales having been
made in the Mt. Pleasant field, as high
as 50 per ton in the ground. That
would mean a total Of $2S0,OOO to the
present owners; quite profit over
the few thousand they paid for the
land a year or two since, and they
would still have the land That would
also mean an increase in property
values in Maury county Of over a
quarter of million dollarsi and this

Editor Journal-A week or two ago
wrote an article for your paper that !
have had several letters Of commentator
for the 1.-The Of argument contained there
in.
The. thought is this: The state Of
Georgia should not punish innocent wo-
men and children to punish gully men.
The state OF Georgia should not reap
profit from same as it now does,
A tew years ago citizen Of Georgia
was convicted OF some minor oaense and
sent TO the caingang. lie left at home
wife and three children. Two of them
very small One was gid of 10, There
was nothing to do but beg living as best
they might, In short time che wife was
detetccted in the violation of the local op-
ton laws and sent to the same place
The 10 yearold girl developed into street
walker to keep her little brother and SIS
ter alive. At last they both became
street waits and despised of all
Granting that the father should have
been punished, should this kind of life
been forced upon the wife aud children
Has the state the right 10 take the bread
from the mouths of the innocent and
make more criminals 10 punish the one2
Wouldn't it be the part of humanity to
first take out all the cost of arrest and
conviction, all the cost of maintenance of
the criminal, and then under some wise
p DIVISION pay the surplus of the eunvict's
hie 10 his family, that more criminals
may not be made, that more suffering
may not be occasioned, that we may not
punish the innocent in the efforf TO pun
i,n the guilty.
I c case cited by Mr.. a A. Murphy in
response to the article Of the writer, is
nothing new.
When the father was imprisoned for
not supporting his baby child, when he
was heavily fined or sent TO the gang for
failure to provide for it, when the officers
divided out the fine, or the state approp-
rated the work OF the father, reapiug
sherelrom profit, was the ch,ld benefit
cd? Was one crust Of bread put i'll its
mouth thereby Was one dress put upon
lis back2 Wouldn't il have been more
humane TO have provided that after the
costs of conviction aud maintenance 10
the state had been lakeu out, the fine Of
the hire Of the convict should 60 under
the o-dinar)'s direction to the relief OF
the child. Not paid where not necessary
bat only where tue same is needed
The state should not make profit out of
ed to convict. I he state should not pun
ish the innocent that the guilty may b
punished Our iuhuman criminal laws
are doing this. They are helping to
/, axe more criminals out Of The wives and
children OF criminals,
When the state gets $500 from the la
bor of a criminal and it has only cost SIoo
tor his conviction and maintenance and
there isau innocent child at home Deepen
dent on charity, what moral right has the
state TO take the support that God gave
away from the child auo give it to OILERS
in the shape Of school funds and general
expenses Our laws are in many instan-
Ces inhumsn. We can harm no one by
trying to make them more human. At
