The Apache coolly throws her to
the floor. Follows a wild, at times
ferocious, dance, in which the Apache
filings the waif about his head in mad,
impetuous movements, only to fling
her under the table or into the cor
ner. He laughs quietly, cruelty, as
she, unable to rise, crawls back for
more.
AS the flower-girl clutches at his
knees, the Apache, petulant, pulls her
from the floor, throws her into his
arms and continues the orgy, this
time, instead of f1inging her from him,
he clutches her to him and sinks his
blade into her heart. Dropping the
limp figure in disgust, he sinks back
to his table, where he continues his
solitaire.
The habitues of the rendezvous, ac-
customed as they are to death, move
threatingly toward him, but stink back
as the Apache flashes his stiletto.
gendarme enters.
The Apache pulls the lifeless form
to him and dances the dance of death
while the gendarme looks on. The
Apache, thinking the gendarme has
left, throws the body from him The
gendarme, turning, gets his man.
This is the gem set in unusually
good burlesque at the Capitol. The
chorus dances well, the singing is
good and the scenes colorful. The
ten musical spillers' are ten mulatto
jazz-maniacs who know jazz when
they hear it and know how to play it.
They run wild They should be al
lowed more time for encores.
"Giggles" is the name Of the show,

done by these two. This comedy song

The best singing is done by Eva
OIivotti as Nina and Paul Donah as
Guido. Both of the leading roles are
pIeasantly done. Both dance well, es-
peciaIIy in the famous "Bambalina

OF the Tombs of the Kings, a
varied collection Of objects was
removed from the tomb of Tut.
ankhamen.
About eleven o'clock a bouquet
of flowers was brought out. 1t
was smaller than those brought
out last week. 1t is wonderfully
preserved and there is stiN a
faint greenish .tinge in the faded
hue. There was no time to ex-
anime it closely, but lilies APP
peared to be among the flowers.
A few minutes after the bouquet
had been taken to Seti's tomb,
there were brought out four
alabaster vases, still standing in
the cane baskets in which they
had been buried. The alabaster
did not seem to be in as good
condition as that of the vases
previously removed, but perhaps
this was due to the fact that the
others had been partially cleaned
before being taken from the
tomb, while today's were appar-
emily undusted.
The vases are about ten inches
in diameter and about a foot
high, with handles near the top.
On one, which was apparently
filled with ointment (simiiar to

beads showed three colors only
white, blue and yellow.
On the. fourth stretcher was a
piece of extraordinarily fine
linen, very strongly woven and
with red and blue stripes still
family discernible. This is per-
haps the finest piece of linen re-
naming from Pharoanic times.
The Kings robes themselves are
very faded and friable, but it is
understood the experts anticipate
preserving them.
Just after noon another stretcher
was brought out containing
large walking stick made of wood
encased in the finest gold work.
Mr.. Carter had applied a little
petrol in one place, and it was
delicate embroidery of the gold
casing. The handle was a figure
of an Asiatic captive with a
beard. Another walking stick
exquisitely fashioned. two ar
rows, and miscellaneous pieces

that contained in the vases al
ready removed could be seen the
Kings seal. On the same
.stretcher as the four vases were
two smaller baskets of dark
brown plated straw, identical
with those already removed. To-
days, however, are open and
empty.
Then came miscellaneous
assortment of small pieces of
gold-work, leather odds and ends,
pieces Of. wood taken from the
floor beneath the Kings char
lots. from which these things
had fallen during the passage
81 ages or when the chariots were
roughly handled by robbers.
There were also pieces of bead
work and silverwork. probably
part of the royal insignia.
The fourth stretcher contained
a collection of musical instru-
ments. All of these seemed to
be flies. One large one was
apparently made of gold or
heavily coated with gold. The
other four seemed to be made
of wood.
KINGS FOOTSTOOL.
The finest treasure of the day
came out on the fifth stretcher.
This contained a9vastly rich foot
stool about twenty inches long,
more than foot wide. and about
two or three inches high. The
top was exquisitely inlaid. with
two huge glistening gold figures
of Assyrians. 1t appears to have
been absolutely unworn. Rarely
has a finer example of decorative
art been seen. Every detail is
exquisite. On the same stretcher
were two vases lightly tinged
with green, shaped like simple
water. jugs. They are probably
faience vases.
Next came a pair of flywhisks,
and candor compels the admission
that they are much better fly
whisks than those which visitors
are beseeched to buy on arrival
in Luxor. Those from the sepul-
chre had ornate wooden handles
richly inlaid with what appear
to be ivory and gold. The whisk
itself is made of horse-hair, now
stiff with age, but still black.
Finally two chariot wheels were
removed. They are not so rich
as those previously removed, but
it is understood that Mn Carriers

the chariots and touches until
the last, as the latter will de-
mand immediate preservative

perts are still engaged there on
objects brought out in the last
few days, and they are not ready
to devote themselves to the larger
items for the moment.
AN AMERICAN FIND.
It was understood on Friday
night that there would be big

crowd of visitors, after vending
their way through the desolate.

mouth of the tomb they were met
by notice from Mr.. Howard Car
ter: ITO representatives of the
Press. Owing to temporary
shortage of staff nothing win be
removed today" Mr.. Calender,
chief assistant to Mr.. Carter, had
been called away up country on
urgent private business.
Returning from the valley yes
terday, passed the native work
ers of the New York Metropolitan
Museum engaged in excavating at
Der ell Bahari the site of the
tombs Of The queens on the east
ern side of the valley. There
was an air of great excitement,
and it was evident that some dis
covery had been made.
The find, though not very i'm
portant ENTHUSIASTICALLY, is very
interesting. 1t is the mummy of
a woman of the Eleventh Dynasty.
The body is much tatooed, and is
interesting from a medical point
Of view. Investigations will be
made as soon as convenient, but
it is doubtful whether the mummy
will be taken to New York.

as the visitors termed them, were
a number of reeds about four feet
long of a dark brown color, the
ends decayed to abnormal sharp
mess. There was a general ques-
ton respecting their significance,
to which there was no answer,
until an American suggested that
they were toothpicks put in the
tomb for the kings use after eat

BY this time anticipation had
developed to excitement, and
when sepulchral voices from the
depths of the tomb were heard,
accompanied by the sound of
slow-moving feet, there was

tomb. In a moment the bearers
appeared carrying large white

The linen inside the box is in a

Fifteen minutes later bearers
emerged carrying a~chair on n
stretcher, and from Mr.. Carter's
demeanor it was evident that this
object was especially valuable.

recognized that 1t was the
chair which Mr.. Carter had spe!
