Rev. F. ingalls, Lecture Saturday
NIGHT

Night.
The Congregational church was we'll
filled Saturday night Ia listen to Rev
F. T. Ingalls, lecture ON Egypt and the
Nile" and the splendid mnsic rendered
BY the Amphion Quintette Club and the
chorus of sixteen voices. The former
opened the exercises of the evening
with that charming selection, 1.-The Ar
tillerist's Oath"
Rev. A. NJ. Richardson, of Lawrence,
then read scripture lesson and led in
prayer.
This was followed by the American
National Hymn, which was royalty
rendered by sixteen of the best vocaIIsis
in Emporia.
Rev. F. T. Ingalls, was then intro
duced and began his lecture on Egypt
and the Nile" which was, in the main,
very interesting. Egypt was long.
long way from here, and the time was
when it took many months to reach IL,
but to-day the facilities of travel were
such that person could go from En-
poria 10 Cairo, Egypt, in three weeks
The speaker drew contrast between
this country and that which was the sub
ject of his discourse. Ours was q land
OF Freedom and enjoyed high state of
civilization; the very opposite was true
of Egypt. Womau in this country was
3 noble, exalted being; IN Egypt she was
nothing. Yet. with all its barbarism
and its many revolving features, il was
an interesting country. and especially
so to the tourist. In looking upon those
grand old pyramids he was reminded Of
the noble old patriarch Abraham and
his descendants He thought of the
time when a direct descendant of this
ancient servant of God reigned rs prime
minister Of Egypt, and in coming down
to modern times he cited the fact thai
scion of the faithful old prophet had
| performed the functions of prime min
lister of England.
Egypt was An interesting country II
Bible students, and though far away il
miles, it was near TO Us because of TIA
brotherhood Of Christianity; the con
Meeting link between that country and
other Christian natioas of the earth hae
never been entirely severed and the TIM
was when great ipfiuences FOR good hA.
: gone ont from il.
The speaker gave very interesting
description Of the physical features O
the country. and il was indeed refresh
: ing 10 those IN any sense conyersau
{ with the history Of that land.
The modes Of travel were multifa-ion
and cfien amusing 10 The tourist Da.
ing the reign Of the last khedive rail
roads had come into prominenee.

trip on the Nile was very pleasant and
full of interest Steamboats, ike those
used in this country and Europe were
employed, and the accommodations IN
them were about the same The most
amusing mode of travel was with the
donkey, an animal that is very extern
sively employed in that capacity all
over Egypt. At the points where the
donkey was brought into requisition
there was always scramble to secure
victim for that remarkable little beast,
and the speaker related several amusing
incidents in connection with the dom
key which were greatly enjoyed by the
audience.
In speaking of the cities and towns of
the country, he.said Alexandria was es-
sentialiy European city, its hotels be
ing conducted on the American and.
European style. Cairo was a magnifi-
cent city, and the tourist was always,
sure to meet with that which would in
tercst and amuse The ordinary villages,
however, were uninteresting; as Mark |
Twain says, "magnified wasps' nests.''
The inhabitants are simple in their hab-
its, very temperate, and of by no means
vicious dispositions. These people u.s.
ually had their heads shaved, leaving
just small tuft of hair on tie side of
the head, by which Mahomet, in whom |
they implicitly trust, might seize and |
take them up TO heaven. In order to
prevent their sons from being pressed /
into military service, mothers would
mutilate them by punching out an eye
or manning the hand, and in various
other ways. This practice was not SO
prevalent now, as the government had
issued an edict that all found thus
mutilated should be beheaded.
The description of the pyramids, tenn
pies, etc, was remarkably interesting,
and the balance of the lecture was unus-
uallY full of interesting details, but time
aud space forbids further comment.
The Amphion Qniniette club chimed
In at the conclusion of the lecture with a
beautiful selection from Kreu,zer, en-
titled, "What Beams so Bright"

IOttawa Republican,
The readers OF the Republican will

part of June last we re-copied the fol-
lowing letter from the EMPoR1A NEWS:
EDS. News by the request of dy-
ing man / pen the following, which he
wishes you 10 publish:
II, John G. Crafford, am from Kansas
City, Mo-; started for Long, Colorado,
an the 18th of May, 1882, but having
changed my mind. l came to Las Vegas.
While on my way here Hell in with two
men who afterwards got into quarrel
and one of them drew revolver to shoot
the other, but missed his aim and shot
me, inflicting, probably, fatal wound,
and feel that I have only few hours
to live. As have two little girls living
near the city of EmpOria-tLe oldest
May A., who is nine years old, and the
QAher, Lille E. Crafford, six years old,
l wish to inform them of their faith
et's fate. These children are living with
their mother and my divorced wife.
Annie NJ. Crafford, from whom ! was
separated several months ago. Please
publish this letter, and if anyone knows
of the whereabouts of my wife or little
children they will confer favor upon a
dying man by sending them copy of
THE NEWS containing this letter.
Truly Yours,
j. q. CRAWFORD.
Las Vegas, May 18th, 1882.
Mr. Editor: Mr. j. G. Crafford died
this morning from the effects of bullet
wound through his lungs. If his wife
wishes his vaIise forwarded to her she
will please drop me few lines, stating
where to send it. am very much agi-
lated over this unlucky mans fate. He
seemed very anxious that his little
children should know of his fate, and
he died praying for their welware as
also that of his wife. Yours, with re-
spect. GEO. T. OGGs.
Las Vegas, New Mexico.
The aforesaid John c. Crafford was
q member OF Capt. g. B. Jenness' Otta-
wa company OF the 18th Kansas, and
was we'll known to Mr. e. H. Paramore,
Frank Heck and others who belonged TO
said organization. Last week these par
ties were surprised on receiving u call
from the aforesaid Craford, in proper
person, and were still more astonished
Ia learn that he had never been in Las
Vegas and was never wounded. IF any
man had his yalise," said CIaff0rd,
They was welcome 20 it, rs he had 8
good trunk, and was satisfied with that"
CIafford's story, however, is singular
one, and there appears TO be designs on
his wife and his own happiness. The re-
port of his death, it is believed, was
started by parties who were interested in
keeping him away from his wife and
children, from whom he had parted,
but was not divorced from his wife. 1t
| is supposed that, as he had not been
| heard from 70. some time, certain par.
1 tv who wanted 20 marry Mrs. Cr8HOrd
| had taken this means TO overcome her
prejudices against securing q divorce or
remarTying while her husband was
| alive. Mr.. Crafford has recently visited
his wife and children, and they were
greatly surprised 70 see him alive
Crafford is now living in this county
| near Ottawa, and the EMPoRIA NEWS
may correct the pathetic impressions oi

quently interrupted by applause. It
was referred to a committee for publica
ton for distribution in Kansas.
At p. IN. paper was presented by
Rev. j. B. Richardson, of Hiawatha, on
the "Religious Outlook" The paper
was frank statement of the present
situation in religious belief, and an hon.
est plea for the teaching of pure spirit
ual truth, exhumed from the accumu-
lated deposit of the creeds and dogmas
of ages. 1t is to be regretted that it
could not have been heard by larger
audience.
MONDAY MORNING.
Quite fair number OF ministers and
delegates still remained to attend the
closing series of the association Mon
day morning.
1t was extremely gratifying to those
present that the Rev. A. E. Dunning,
OF Boston, was so far recovered as to be
able TO address them on the subject of
Sunday school work.
His remarks were in the highest de-
gree interesting and elected numerous
questions on The subject from different
members of the association.
After miscellaneous business the asso-
citation adjourned until the session of
next year, which will be held in Leav-
enwOrth.
A larger number of delegates and
ministers have attended the association
than on any preceding year. and the
and interest which have char
acterized all its sessions must ever be
remembered with pleasure by all who
have been present.
