gained for Newport News an enviable
reputation among the larger schools
Of this and other states and the Mcr-

been considerably smaller than those
charged in other cities and In order
to clear expenses on larger games in

that the people of the Peninsula Will
raise any objection to the slight in

people here have frequently proven
That they do not mind paying the
price provided they get their moneys
worth. and that is what they will get
at games between the big colleges

in favor of prohibition in the District of

was announced as IAN echo of the recent

feature of the meeting was cartoon

blackboard that occupied prominent
position in the room.
Judge Taylor declared that the saloons
of this city have cost the government

1906. To prove this he produced statis-
tics showing that Congress appropriated
81 5T9 500 for the maintenance of jails,
warehouses; asyluns and other institu-
tons, which he declared were the direct
results of rum shops. while the total
amount received by the government from

LECTURE ON OLD EGYPT.
Mrs. Withee Entertains League of
American Penwomen.

Az meeting of the League of Ameri-
can Penwomen held at 134T l. street
last night Mrs. l.. F. Young Withee de-
lvered lecture on "Old Egypt" The
lecturer explained the social, intellectual
and Industrial development of ancient
Egypt through the first, second. third.
fifth. eleventh. seventeenth and eigh-
teenth dynasties. showing in each sue
cessive reign of the ancient rulers the
gradual advancement of the subjects to-
ward what the lecturer termed 1.-The high
est type of. civilization of an ancient age"
Mrs. Withee spoke at length of the
superstitions and NEUROLOGICAL deities of
old Egypt. showing that each principle of
faith attributed TO each of the seven
deities embodied in a general way the
Christian faith of the present day, be-
ginning with the same divine being and
It's subsidiary gods, and explaining the
centering of the powers attributed to
them into the one divine being. which,
she asserted, was none other than the
God worshiped today.
An especially interesting portion of the
lecture was a legend from the French eX-
planatory OF how the basic theory of the
Egyptian religion was gradually spread
through Asia and Europe owing to super
stitiors and disputes OF the native priests.
who lmmigrated from the two continents
termed an analogy drawn between the
custcns and religion of ancient Egypt
and the present day.
Preceding the lecture musical numbers
were given by Miss Amy Clement Ieay-
lit. There was a large audience
