MR.. LITTLE ON EGYPT.
A Large Audience Listens to Sketches
EntertaininglY Told.

Ed c. Little, formerly minister to
Egypt delivered his lecture on the
mile and the Niger last evening to an
audience at the First Christian church
which filled the room. He was at his
best, and the lecture was very enter
tanning Mr.. Little wore on the left
lapel of his full dress suit the handsome
insignia of honor which was conferred
him by the Khedive of Egypt.
Said Mr. Little: When the Creator
finished Africa there was no Egypt
But the rains descended and the blue
Nile took its rise in the mountains of
Central Africa and for 1900 miles it did
not receive a rivulet to increase it: It
is the only river in the world which
grows smaller toward its mouth
Egypt is not a nation. it is group
of nationahties- Egypt is weak and
feeble folk She is under the Suzerain-
ity of the great powers. England
keeps a standing army there. Why she
does this is because she don't dare to
should lose the Suez canal she would
lose her colonies and sink into a state
like Holland. She has no business to
keep an army there, but she does it
just the same. 1t is a game of bluff
every day. Each side stands pat
When England finds that she can't
force her demands on the khedive she
doesn't do anything Nothing has ev-
er been done, and probably never Will
be done.
L can't see why Stanley or Living
stone WOulQ go 10 the congo W00n NNey
could go to a state of naturalization
in the valley of the Niger, where there
is romance and beauty, like that in
Timbuctoo. There you will see the
same kind of faces you see here. Five
thousand years makes no difference in
the human face.
And L want to say a word about the
American missionaries. I never saw a
finer class of people from America in
Egypt than are the American mission
aries. (Applause.) England sends peo-
pie there to protect her interests, while
America goes there to spread civiliza-
ton. and at her own expense. But I
never heard of a Mahomedan being con-
Verted to Christianity, nor never saw
a man who had seen one The mission
aries elevate these people, and those
Christians they find there they help.
Egypt is a nation ruled by d heredita-
~ sovereign of the house of Mahemet
Ali. 1t is dependency Of Great Brit
ain She can't open a sewer or a
school without a joint and gracious
permission of the great powers. My
friends, there is lesson in this for the
American people. 1t illustrates the
truth of the statement off 'scant the
gain which comes from freedom be-
trayed and heroes Slain"

Consumption Cured.
BROUGHT BACK FROM THE cRAv

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE CRAVE.
Last November Mr. Joseph James,
painter, of 525 W. Pearl ST., Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of ulceration; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle

FORAKER MAKES a POINT.
In Favor of Recognition Before In

Washington, April AT the meeting
of the senate foreign relation commit
tee yesterday, Mr.. Foraker stated that
there was a point to which he desired
to invite the attention of the committee
and this was the possibility of the Uni
ted States having to assume RESPONSE
bility for the payment of the interest

bonds secured by the Cuban revenue in
case of the Intervention of this country
in the Cuban war without first recog-
nizing the independence of the Cubans.
He said he would not assert posi-
lively that such would be the case but
he believed the position strong enough
under international law to make ground
for an international law suit He sta
ted that there were no less than $780,
900 900 of these bonds.
