THE ANTIQUITY OF MAN.
Vine Thousand Years Accounted For
and Traces OF More.

Vine Thousand Years Accounted For
and Traces OF More.
Professor w. M. Flinders Petrie. the
eminent Psychologist. delivered a lee
ture at scarborough i'm connection with
the Society OF Friends Summer Settle
ment on The Antiquity OF Man" The
lecturer fixed the exodus OF the Israel
ties at about 1900 Is. c.. but said that
was the period OF the nineteenth Egyp-
tian dynasty, and researcb had estab-
lished In all twenty-five dynasties. In
the early men Of Egypt they had to
deal with European race more or less
mixed with the negro. As 10 the long
progress OF civilization. the pottery was
striking proof. passing from the SIM
plest to the most elaborate forms.
So was II with other works OF art.
In one of the tombs was the mummi-
ted arm OF princess which bore a
set OF bracelets of greatsyalue and an
tiquity. composed principally OF gold
and turquoise and wrapped liz n cloth
weaved as finely as cambria handker-
ehief or modern times. So far, how
ever. they had to deal with a continu-
Gus civilization, an unbroken chain OF
historic record, from 5000 b. c., besides
actual objects carrying them back at
least 1000 years further and thus Civ
Ing 5000 years of human history.
But they were yet far from the begin
ming. There were traces which showed
that civilization must have come in
from another country, but from where
no one had the slightest idea In the
earliest graves figures of a race OF the
Bushmen type were discovered similar
to those found In France and Malta,
proving that the race had extended over
Africa and into Europe. Then there
were figures OF women captured from
still earlier races. which were proba-
bly, Of the old stone. or paleoiIthic, age.
Beyond this there was a time when the
climate or Egypt was totally different
from what II is today, when the rain
fall fortified what is now n desert and
when animals OF which all trace Is lost
inhabited the country.
Other lands might show an age OF
man more remote by physical evil
denees. but nowhere could we feel
more plainly the certainty OF the an
tiquity OF man than where 1000 years
OF continuous remains did not yet bring
us into the vast periods OF those clI-
matte and geological changes through
which man had kept mp the chain OF
life TO the present day.-London Tele-

Gently, we were told the story OF the
rescue or that city from destruction by

The lava had reached to within half a
mile OF the city. and the princess was
sent for In great haste. She came at
once, bringing q live white dove, q
sucking pig and q bottle of native rum.
The populace Of the city all followed
her as she proceeded to the edge OF the
lava. When there she ordered the plc
killed, and. dipping up its blood with
her fingers, she sprinkled its drops on
the lava. repeating the while some
strunge native lingo. The death of the
dove followed, and its blood was like
wise sprinkled on the flowing stone.

never flowed another foot. The city OF
Hilo was saved, aud Princess Emma,

CLEVELAND PAYS TRIBUTE.
Ex-President EuIOgixes Mckinley
Before Princeton Students.

Princeton, n. j., Sept. 20.-All for
NAL exercises at Princeton university
were suspended Thursday, and at II
O'Clock memorial exercises were held
in Alexander hall. The faculty and
board of trustees attended the ex-
ercises in their gowns without their
hoods. The big hall was filed with
students and visitors as the faculty,
led by Former President Cleveland
and President Patton, slowly filed
up the aisle to the rostrum. Presi-
dent Patton opened the exercises
with prayer, read the Forty-sixth
Psalm, made few remarks eulogiz-
ing the late president, and introduced
Mr.. Cleveland, who was visibly af-
fected, and with tears in his eyes,
eulogized the dead president. Mr.
Cleveland said, in part:
To-day the grave closes over the man
that had been chosen by the people Of the
United States to represent their sover-
eighty, to protect and defend their consti-
tuition, to faithfully execute the laws
made for their welfare, and to safely up
hold the integrity of the republic.
'He passes from the public sight not
bearing the wreaths and garlands of his
countrymen's approving acclaim. but amid
the soks and tears of mourning nation.
The whole nation loved their president.
His kindly disposition and affectionate
traits. his amlable consideration for all
around him. will long be in the hearts Of
his countrymen. He loved them in return
with such patriotism and unselfshness that
in this hour of their grief and humiliation
he would say TO them: IT IS Gods will,
| am content. II there is lesson in my
life or death, let 1t be taught TO those who
still live and have the destiny OF their
country in their keeping.
There Is a most serious lesson for all
of us in the tragedy Of our late presidents
death. If we are TO escape further attacks
upon our peace and security. we must bold
ly and resolutely grapple with the monster
of anarchy. 1t is not a thing that we can
safely leave to be dealt with by party or
partlsanship. Nothing can guarantee US
against its menace except the teaching
and the practice of the best citizenship.
the exposure OF the ends and aims Of the
gospel of discomfort and hatred of social
order, and the brave enactment and exc
cution Of repressiye laws

ident let us resolve to cultivate and pre-
serve the qualities that made him great
and useful and let us determine to meet
the call Of patriotic duty in every time OF
our country's danger or need"

cations which gathered to do homage
to the dead president, there came
deepening OF religious life and a
strengthening of the purpose of the
citizenship of the country as never
before.
To attempt to give>in detail the re-
ports received from all the cities of
the country, north and south, of the
memorial services held would require
volumes. Everywhere churches and
large halls were filled to overlooking
with grief-stricken people who felt
the nations loss and gathered to do
honor to the ,martyred president.
Here in this city and in the larger cities
OF the country, New York, Philadel-
phia, Boston, Pittsburg, St. Louis, San
Francisco, etc, big parades marched
IN solemn procession through streets
dfaped in deep mourning.
Business houses were with but few
exceptions closed all day and the build
ings draped. Schools were closed and
the children, instead of spending the
day in the thoughtless play of holt
day, shared in the solemn observance
of the sad event that had stopped reci-
tations and shut the schoolhouse
doors
