Earl of Carnarvon Discovered
Tomb of Pharaoh After
Seven Years of Fruit-
less Excavation.
A despatch from Cairo says -.---The
Earl of Carnarvon died peacefully at
2 o'clock Thursday morning. He was
conscious almost to the end. His death
was due to blood poisoning through
t the bite of an insect, with the later
development of pneumonia. When the
end came, Carnarvon's wife, daughter
and son, Lord Poetchester, who ar-
rived from India a day OT two ago,
were at the bedside.
In.• 1895 he married lmina
Wonib-
well, daughter of the late Frederick
C. -Wombwell. His wife inherited
much of the fortune of the late Al-
fred De Rothschild.
The death of the Earl of Carnarvon
comes shortly after the culmination
of the exploit that brought him chief-
ly into public notice—the discovery of
the rich tomb of the Pharoah Tutank-
hamen, in the Valley of the Kings, in
Egypt, by the archaeological expedi-
tion -which he headed.
His father, the fourth Earl of Car-
narvon, was British Colonial Secre-
tary under Lord Derby, and while
holding this portfolio, moved the sec-
ond -reading of the bill for confedera-
tion of the British North American
provinces. Resigning- upon the pass-
age of the Reform Bill in 1867, he
again became Colonial Secretary
under Disraeli, in 1874, serving until
1878. Later he served for two years
as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.
He was reputed to have spent more
than $100,000 maintaining the expe-
dition, which finally uncovered the
Pharoah's tomb last December, after
seven years of fruitless excavation.
The tomb, which contained an un-
precedented quantity of objects of the
greatest historical -value, as well as
the undisturbed sarcophagus of the
F Pharoah, is said to have been the
richest find ever unearthed in Egypt.
First Aid to Man
Run Over by Train
A despatch from Montreal says:—'
Quick action on the part of a G.T.R.
locomotive engineer probably saved
the life of W. B. Clark, whose leg was.
severd by a train at the St. Remi
Street crossing. The engineer imme-
diately brought the train to a stop,
and cutting off a piece of the bell rope,
made a tourniquet, which he applied
to Mr. Clark's bleeding limb and part-
ly stopped the flow of blood. The leg
had been severed below the knee and
Some of Latest Type of Gaso-

A despatch from Cochrane, Ont.,
says a-aConsiderable additions to the
available equipment has been made
for the corning season's workin the
north by the Ottawa Fire Protection
Service, according to E. G. Poole, sup-
ervisor for this district. Some of the
latest type of gasoline engine's with
a pumping capacity of froni 350 to
400 gallons per minute, have been de-
cided upon and these will be used to
protect town and *village while they
also will be,available for use against

used extensively to cover the territory.
when the victim was admitted to the
1VIontrea.I General Hospital, it was
found necessary to amputate above
the knee. Mr. Clark was reported to- '
day as resting comfortably.
Newfoundland Sealer
Returns With 11,367 Pelts
A despatch from St. John's, Nfld.,
says:—The steamer Sagona, the first
of the Newfoundland sealing fleet to
return from the ice fields, has just ar-
rived with 11,867 pelts. She has been
absent just four weeks. The Sagona
repotted that she made her catch 115
miles off Cape Race, and that the other
vessels of the fleet now are working
there, Unless conditions improve, the
Sagona's will be the only paying catch
among the fleet, as she is the smallest
vessel, and least expensive to operate.
The total kill of the entire fleet up to
the present is 73,500.

when enough dynamite to take all the

found within afoot of the desk of

was made during taking of testimony
in the $25,000 suit of Aaron Bayer, 14
years old, against Ray D. Baker, a
contractor, for alleged carelessness.
The contractor, it is claimed left

'`Great!' Omitted from
the Phrase "GreatWar.'
A despatch from London says :—A
tendency to delete the word "great"
from references to the "great war,"
has been noted here, the most recent,
instance being when the' Pruice of
Wales unveiled a memorial window in
Westminster Abbey a _few days ago.
The adjective was omitted froin the
inscription on the window-, and it was
also missing fronnthe order of service
for the unveiling ceremony, contain-
ing the Prince's address.
The Prince, through force of habit,
perhaps, read into the printed version
the, deleted word. Some believe he op-
pos'es the shortening of the phrase be-
cause of his own knowledge that it
was "the great war."
