MUMM1FIED QUEEN
Chance Discovery by Digger Near
GAIA, in Palestine.

London, Oct. 21.-The chance dis
covery near ancient GAIA, in Pales-
tine, of tomb containing the en-
balmed body of a woman wearing a
crown and rich ornaments is like an
Arabian Nights tale. The discovery
was made by man named Musa-el-
Burtu while digging on his land, and
this is q. translation Of the account
OF it sent, from Jerusalem by Prof.
Macalister to the Palestine Explora-
tfon fund:
when Musa went to his land and
was working and digging in It he found
a little door. He entered by it into
a cave divided into two chambers, and
entering through the second door he
found coffin of hard wood.
"And he opened it, and in the cof-
fin was another Of crystal. And he
broke this, and inside 1t he found one
of the old queens adorned with prec-
ious stones and on her neck neck
lace of pearls and three chains besides
on her breast, and above her head
was candlestick of gold and another
at her foot"
Another account from Mr.. Knese-
vich of GAIA, says that the sarcop-
hagus was of pure white marble and
was strongly protected by a vault of
huge stones built over 1t. The lid
of the sarcophagus was artistically
carved in the exact form Of the num-
my, which was in excellent preser-
vation.
The hair was loose and the head
bound with fillet, the form of which
suggested that the mummy was Ro-

FIRST TURN IN
VENDING CASE
Federal Court Refused to Take
Jurisdiction on the Alien
Jury Claim


Louisville, KY, Oct. 21.-Judge
Walter Evans, in the federal court for
the western district of Kentucky, to-
day remanded back to the state court
the case of Joseph Vending, who is
charged with the murder of Alma
Kelner. Counsel for Vending sought
to transfer the case to the federal
court on the grounds that Vending,
being an alien, is entitled to a jury,
one-half Of which shall be aliens, and
going on the assumption that the
state court had no right to grant a
jury composed of six aliens.
Judge Evans held that the state
court has a right to grant Vending
such jury but did not state whether
this right is discretionary or compul-
sorry.

Berlin. Oct. 21.-Duelists will really

Gently combatant has been struck

grave, inasmuch as the conditions

London, Oct. 21.-In the course of g
chat with few friends at the Carlton
hotel, Sarah Bernhard made the start
ling announcement that she "had q
premonition that she would die on the
stage during her forthcoming tour of
America"
Her friends, of course, only laughed,
as 1t is generally known that Sarah's
great wish is to die ON the stage. She
carries an elaborate coffin about on
her travels, but BernLardt went ON to
say:
"You may laugh, but the life. the
movement of America will exhaust
what vitality is left in me-"
The fact is, SO her friends say. the
divine Sarah, who is a great-grand-
mother, is herself astonished at the ex-
traordinary attack of youthfulness and
energy which has seized her during
the last few weeks. She declares SOL
emnly:
"1t must be the last flicker Of the
