The Newer EIypt.'

One OF the most illuminating books on the
modern history Of the Egyptian people will
be found in the volume entitled Bona purte
in Egypt and the Eoyp,idns OF To-day. by
HAJr A. Browne ~(Scribnere). For thirty
years the author has devoted himself to the
promotion Of Pan Islamism and the devel-
opment Of friendly relations between the
Moslems of the East and the British Empire.
His hope is that he has succeeded In giving
. sketch sufficiently ineligible to present
the native Egyptian 40 he really is. We
oonfine ourselves to the general reflections
and suggestions. which are based on wide
historical knowledge and on a personal and
sympathetic acquaintance with the Egyp-
tian as he is in the twentieth century A. d.
In one OF his preliminary chapters Mr..
Browne distinguishes three periods in the
history Of Egypt, the first OF which begins
with the reign Of Menes. the first king OF
the first dynasty. This period OF Egyptian
history was not only by far the longest but
in every way the most brilliant. The sec
md period began in $50 b. c. with the con-
quest OF the country by Cambyses and
lasted rather more than twenty three cen
turtles, until Egypt became a province OF
the Turkish Empire. II is true hat during
this second period the world famous cities
Of Alexandra and Cairo we're built, az we'll
AZ the magnificent mosques that are the
pride Of all Moslern nations. but all these
things we're the work moi ~ the Egyptian
people themselves but Of the foreigners by
whom they were held in thraldom. and are
therefore monuments not Of the country's
glory but OF its shame.

The third volume OF the history OF The
American Revolution by Sir GEORGE Orro
TRKvELYAN has just boon issued by tho
LonRmans. II covers the period from tho
battles OF Trenton and Princeton. which
were described in the second volume, and
ends with an account OF the battle OF Mon
mouth Court House. The narrative Is far
from being solely or even principally a
military and diplomatio record. The au-
thor's attitude is that Of those Wings who
opposed Lord North's American policy and
more or lcss openly desired, during the first
three years Of the Revolutionary War, To
witness the triumph Of the Thirteen Colo
mics, but who nevertheless regarded with
sbhorrenoe the alliance with France into
which the Americans entered early In
HTS. Nor In there much doubt that but
for the ranking memories OF that ALI
moe the breach between tho mother coun-
try and the daughter State would soon have
been forgotten instead Of leaving behind It
In the minds Of Englishmen a bitterness that
lasted for generations.

cording az their attitude toward Wash
inRton was friendly or IN reverse. and
there were long periods when many Con-
gressmen spent all the time which they
could spare from their executive duties in
intriguing against their own Commander
In Chief. That is a circumstance which
American patriots car never forget nor
easily bring themselves t. pardon. The
fact remains that the memory Il tho Con-
tinental Congress il bound up with that
portion Of their national history which
Americans regard with peculiar pride.
During the long period Of anticipation
and suspense which interviewed between
the campaign Of 1870 and that Of i777 tho
loyslists In the Eastern and Central States
showed themselves eager and busy. although
their activity was productive OF sstisfac-
ton to themselves rather than OF solid ad-
vantage to the British cause. The numer-
Gus but desultory. obiectless and resuItlsss
ebsillitions OF loyalist sentiment inspired
Sir William Howe with expectations which
never were fulfilled. Royalism 20 tho
north OF h Potomac River proved TO be
for any practical military purpose a barren
creed. Loyalists In the northern n cen
trail States were for the most part content
with leaving the Kings troops 70 Hght the
Kings battles. Oliver Delanooy Of New
York possessed an extensive influence n
a well deserved popularity throughout his
native province. In the autumn Of i77e he
was appointed a~Brigadier-G General In the
royal service. he having promised that in the
following spring he would bring into tho
field 1900 loyalists. As q matter Of fact,
not 600 were forthcoming when the army
marched for Philadelphia. Tho only suc-
cess Of any importance which stands to tho
credit Of the Northern loyalists. as apart
ron the British regulars. was the Battle Of
0riskany in the Mohawk Valley: and moro
than half h loyalists there present, and
those by no means the least forward In the
melee. we're painted Indians. Further to
tho southwark the case was very different.
The local Tories OF Georgia and the Caro-
linas made the war their own during several
Hercely disputed campaigns.

On May "a. 1873, Sir William Howe re-
linuuished the command Of the British
forces In America TO Sir Henry Clinton
and embarked for England. Howe was
not a mar to YEA his heart upon his sleeve.

gave an indication Of the feelings with
which he took his final departure from

~portunities. His troops. who had never

An account Of the principal occasions upon
which destruction must have overtaken

is reproduced in an appendix TO this volume.

FARMERS PROFITS ARE GREAT.
Phenomenal Prices Received by the
Wisconsin Tobacco Growers.

Madison.-The year just closed will
pass into history as the most pros
porous one ever experienced by the
growers of tobacco in Wisconsin, says
the Tobacco Reporter. Whatever
there is in store in the future for the
dealers who now practically own the
1906 crop-whether it earns them
profit or a loss-need not concern the
farmer, for his position is secure. He
is already counting his profit, and it
amounts to something phenomenal
when viewed in the light of recent stav
tistics regarding the acreage, yield
and price paid the producer. 1t is gen.
orally conceded that the 1906 crop
amounted close to 10000 acres, yield
ing 1875 pounds to the acre, while the
average price paid growers is given at
1872 cents by the government report.
In other words the gross receipts of
each acre would amount to $172.12. De-
Quoting the cost of raising, which I'M
der the most conservative estimates
can not exceed $40 per acre, and it is
generally believed that most of the to-
bacco of this state is grown at cost
of less than $50 per acre, we have at
least a profit of 1882 on every ecre
produced in the state. This would
mean an enormous total of $5,2SO,OOO
of clean, cold profits to be paid the to-
bacco growers of this state. No such
profits were ever before paid to so
small a. number of producers in the
west. The figures are unprecedented
and almost challenge the credulity of
the general public. Think OF more
than $5,O00,O0O in profits pockcted by
less than 10000 farmers! Surely the
tobacco growers are in the saddle and
riding easily.

CITY WILL OWN PLANT
Ashland Voters, 8 to I, Are in Favor
of Municipal Ownership-com-
pany Already in the Field
Will Appeal.

Ashland.-By a sweeping vote of
over to 1, the city of Ashland vot I'd
III favor of municipal ownership. Less
than half of the normal vote was cast,
the total for the city plant being
1889 and 2SS against. The majority
in favor of municipal ownership was
Uniform all over the city, the normal
iote in every ward being about 3 to l.
by this proposition the city admins
tration is empowered to close the
contract for a $50 acre tract of land
on White river, including a dam site,
to run power eight miles to the city
and to install municipal lighting
plant.
The present company has contract
ed with the White River Power COM
pany, which has partly constructed
dam at White river, to run power into
the city also, and announces that it
will compete with the municipal plant
tC supply llgn; to private consumers.
The city officials deny tie right of the
old company to compete with the
municipal plant and state that it will
be shut down. The company will
probably bring injunction proceedings
to prevent the building of the new
plant
The estimated cost of the new plant
is $4,000. The cost of the present
plant, which also includes the man
agement of the street railway, is prob
ably double that amount

Rate Commission at Work.

Further than that the Wisconsin
rate commission is exerting every pos
sible effort to finish its investigations
covering the two-cent fare proposition,
nothing in the way of details can be
ascertained as indicative of what the
report will contain. 1t is understood
that the commission is at work upon
it's report and that some time early
in the session such report will be
submitted to the governor and legis-
lature If conclusions have been ar
rived at as to the practicability and
legality of demanding that Wisconsin
roads give a two-cent fare, absolute
secrecy is maintain covering the work
of the commission. 1t is believed,
however, that the Investigations and
statistical compilations covering the
question have not proceeded far
enough so that the commission has
arrived at conclusion. Among leg
islators who are interested in the two
cent fare proposition it is believed
that before the commission makes it's
report its investigations will be of
SUCH IL CHARACTER ILdI LuO
findings will stand if tested in the
courts. The commission, it is claimed,
is making such an exhaustive and
complete investigation of the subject
that the right of the state to impose
two-cent fare upon the railroads will
be determined, or, if the commission
finds that the reduction is not warrant
ed undeniable facts will be presented
to show how and why it's conclusions
were arrived at Whatever the find
ings are as made by the commission,
it must make a complete case, for if
the finding warrants the order of
two-cent fare, it no doubt will be the
policy of the railway companies to test
the decision in the supreme court and
if it finds against the reduction as
unwarranted by the business done,
the people of the state will want to
know why it could not be done.

VICTIMS OF BAD COLLISION
THIRTEEN LIVES ARE CRUSHED
OUT WHEN TRAINS MEET.
Dense Fog Prevented the Engineer
from Seeing Danger Signals
at Fowler, Ind,

Owing to the dense fog the engineer
of the Big Four flyer was unable to
see the light on the senaphore, which
directed him to stop, as westbound
freight had the right of way. THE
train dispatcher, knowing that the
dense fog would prevent the train
men from seeing the block signal,
went outside and waved his lantern
frantically and fired at least half a
dozen shots from his revolver, but the
trainmen went crashing by with their
train and a moment later the crash
came.
The firemen of both trains were
killed instantly, but the engineers
escaped by jumping. The report of
the collision was heard all over town.
Fire bells and whistles called the peo-
pie to the aid of the injured.
Immediately following the crash the
wreckage caught fire and the bodies
were burned before they could be ex-
tricated from the ruins. The heat of
the burning cars was so intense that
the would-be rescuers could not get
near enough to help. The injured and
some of the dead were taken to Kan
kakee, ILL.,, on the private car of Vice
President Schaff, which was not de-
rallied Mrs. Schaff was in the private
car, but was not injured.
