New Light On the Earliest History
Of the World,
n Remarkable Discoveries OF Or. Hi
precclIit53 q ipp ar---Iiyidence Of
Civilization Earlier Than SUPP
posed Time OF Adam and Eve.

Prof, H. v. Hilprecht, of the Uni
versity of Pennsy lvania, who has been
exploring the mountains Of anciens;
Nippur, in Asia Minor, arrived in New.
York the other morning on the
steamer Friedrich der. Crosse # ON
Bremen. Prof. Hilprecht brought.
with him some of the tablets marked
with cuneiform inscript ptions, which he
recently discovered in an old temple
on the ruins Of Nippur. These tab,
lets contain records Of civilization
which existed as long ago as. 5000 5. C.
that is, as long before Abraham as
Abraham was before our time.
Prof. Hilprecht's coming has been
awaited anxiously by students inter
ested in the remote past, because his
discoveries are believed to have re-
organized the chronology of Biblical
times, extending it back many nnillen-
iums prior to the old time reckoning
of the deluge. Therefore he is looked
upon as a messenger bearing news Of
the earliest records Of civilization.
DR.. Hilprecht has been exploring
the mounds of ancient Nippur for II
years. His campaigns have heretofore
been most successful, but during the
past year he has made the greatest
discoveries of all, the finding of the
library of the ancient Temple of Nip
pur and the remains of huge pal
ace having at least two stories and
containing many evidences of what
might be called modern ,conveniences.
The library tablets throw strong
light on how people lived at Nippur
at the time when Adam and Eve were
supposed to be living in the Garden
of Eden. Some Of the tablets are
dictionaries, architectural plans,
building lists, grammatical exercises,
contracts, bills of sale. histories and
chronological lists. and not only do
they form a complete record of the
time, but they indicate that the civ
ilization then existing was many
thousands of years old. They supply
many gaps which are known to exist
in Genesis; they turn light on the
origin of the Jews and the Jewish re-
hgion, and they are wonderfully cor
roborative of the facts outlined in the
Old Testament.
"The chief point to be remarked"
said the professor the other morning,
'is that we have found the first Baby
lonian temple library that was ever
discovered. Hitherto we have pos
sessed' nothing more. than knowledge
of the probable contents of such a
library, from copies found in the
royal library of Ashurbanapol, in
Nineveh, which was discovered 90
wears ago"

Gable Editor. 81

: & cable dispatch sent from Vienna
recently announced that Archduchess
Maria Raineria had been married in
great state to Duke Robert of Wurtem-

A short while afterward there was
wailing and gnashing of teeth in every
newspaper office in New York. It is
usual when a royal parsonage marries
for a short note to be printed after
the dispatch explaining his or her re-
latlonship to what are known as the
"crowned heads ~
AS no preliminary news of the en-
gagement of Archduchess 'sMaria Rain

consulted the ,Almanach de Gotha.

PLAN YALE BI-CENTENNIAL.
College WIFI Hold Elaborate CeIa-
. .gss bra tion November 20
van. to 23.

President Hadley and the members
of the Yale faculty announced the
other night that the plans for the
bicentennial celebration of Yale on
November 20, 81, % and % were about
completed and that Yale is to have
a celebration in which the graduates
and undergraduates will take promi-
nent parts.
The most important announcement
in connection with the celebration is
that by the finance committee. This
committee has been occupied with
collecting funds primarily for the
purpose of erecting the new memorial
buildings on Grove and College
streets. The total amount of sub
scriptions up to October IS, 1900, is
$6O3, ,474.79. Of this amount S244,-
o69.84 has been paid for land on which
to erect the buildings, while 9,11o
is assigned by the donors to special
purposes. 80
A total of $2s2,4041O has been paid
out for site, plans and construction
to date. Three additional, subscrip-
tions of 100000 each have, been made
ON condition that three other subscrip-
tions of similar amount are secured. !,
One of the gentlemen making this
conditional promise has made one-half
of his gift outright, so that the total
amount definitely in sight at present
may be increased by $4,000, that is
raised to $653, ,4747o. @ %%> +.
The number Of subscribers to the
bicentennial fund is 6O7. F. Il -.
