Proposed School Bonds

There was to have been meeting of
the committee of public buildings of the
city council. with other members of that
body, yesterday, but owing to the alb
sence of Councilman Toll, the meeting
was postponed until Monday during the
noon recess. OF those present yesterday
Messrs. Grider, Hutchison and Ashman
favored submitting the matter to the
people. and letting them pass upon it.
Councilman Hutchison was of the opin-
ion that the proposed high school should
be built at any rate, as it was badly
needed, and there We're probably other
localities where additional school facili-
ties should be provided. but he thought
that in some manner the various propo-
sitions should be segregated, 90 that
those who did not agree on the PROPOSE
tion would have an opportunity of ex-
pressing their views. Councilman
Grider intimated that his ward had been
overlooked in the distribution of the
school houses, but eaid that this would
not cut any figure in the way he should
vote,

"MoNARCHs AND MUMMIES"
The Second Lecture by the Rev. Has
kett Smith

"Monarchs and Mummies" was the
title of the illustrated lecture given last
night by the Rev. Haskett Smith in the
Y. NJ. c. A. hall, and it was fully as
fascinating as the former one on Sew
en- Thousand Years Ago" Having
briefly enumerated the most important
of the dynasties of ancient Egypt, the
lecturer lost no time in introducing his
audience to the interior of the royal
chamber in the Cairo museum. where.
among others of the illustrious dead,
lie the bodies of two out of the three
Pharoahs who were brought into con-
tact with Moses.
daughter rescued Moses from the wat
ers of the Nile, and who died when
Moses was 16 years old. The second
was his son Ramases, who died when
Moses was 73. His son. Meneptah, is
commonly. known as the Pharoah of
the Exodus, and his body has never been
found, as one might naturally have
expected. if. as the Bible intimates, he
was drowned in the Red sea. Seti was
described as a man of estimable char
acter, as his titles on the monuments
are "Seti the Truthful, Seti the Just. 4"
Several of the wonderful relics of this
great Pharoah were shown, notably
the tablet of Abydos which is one of
the sources of the chronology of an
cinet Egypt. the Hall of Columns at
Karnak, and the wonderful tomb in the
heart of the weird valley in the desert
The ban mountains. Luxor, with its
glorious ruined temples of Amenhotep
and Rameses. was duly visited, and
facing it on the other side of the Nile
were shown the colossal statues of the
former monarch, which are commonly
known as the Colossi of Thebes. A
magnificent description was given of
Karnak. that monarch of ancient ar
chitecture, the erection of which occu-
pied no less than $500 years, and which
contains memorials of almost all the
Pharoahs whose names are renowned
in history.
Many illustrations We're given bear
ing upon the Old Testament records
and the hundred and one details of alb
sorbing interest connected with the fas-
cinating study of Ancient Egypt were
most charmingly described by the in
teresting speaker. The beautiful pho
tographs aided wonderfully in bringing
to the perception of the audience the
people of the land of the Pharoahs, as
they lived, loved. conquered and died.
Mr.. Haskett Smith announced at the
close of his address that he had ar
ranged to give a series of five lecture
entertainments in ST. Pauls Guild hall
next week.
