EGYPT'S women
played POLITICS
First Sufragette Plot in the
Reign of Rameses III,
Says Excavator.
WOULD OVERTHROWKING
James Baikie Tells How Certain
Ladies in Harem Planned
Intrigue.
WOULD OVERTHROW KING

What was probably the first suffragette
plot in history is described by James
Baikie, in a communication to the Ma
tional Geographic Society. summarizing
the more recent explorations and excava-
uons in Egypt which have done much
to reveal the history Of an ancient world
power.
I'VE have a very full record of the
process against certain ladies Of the
harem of King Rameses III, Of the
twentieth dynasty, which exhibits the
harem intrigue in all its familiar fea-
tures," writes Mr.. Baikie. Officials of
the harem are bribed, messages are sent
out to officers of the troops from the
secluded ladies, inviting the help Of the
army to overthrow the King and set up
a pretender, and the resources of witch
craft are called in to insure the success
Of the scheme.
Judges Tempered With.
In this case even the discovery Of
the plot did not put an end to the machi-
nations of those concerned. The judges
in the trial were tampered with, and the
result was a highly discreditable ex-
posure of the corruption of the Egyptian
bench as well as that OF the harem."
Continuing his discussion of the posi-
ton of women in ancient Egypt, Mr
Baikie says:
Though there are certain features,
such as their loose ideas In the matter
of consanguinity, which shock our
modern sense Of morality, the ideas and

old, and then she had ner own grande passion
and all the sorrow-ah, that terreeble Gabriel
d'Annunziop The drama of life-but she is an
adorable woman and the idol of Italians! Her
arms were filled with carnations, some of which
were bestowed on us who sat near her, and they
will be laid away with Margheritas roses.
Among the delegates from Russia is baron
ess, or perhaps it is countess, who has created
much amusement by her determination to keep
dividing line between herself and the untitled
delegates, not even responding to the good
morning" with which those who wear the coun-
Gil insignia are accustomed to greet each other
without formal introduction She is really a
large individual, but seems very small compared
to demure little woman whom everybody ad-
mires-Mrs. Paul Milyoukoff, wife of the leader
of the Constitutionalists in the Russian Douma.
'This is the first time in my life that ever left
home alone" she said, and added with smile,
Now, am emancipated." Although very un-
assuming, she seems to possess much force of
character and to be absorbing all the advantages
of this great gathering of women, which must
seem very remarkable to her.
One afternoon we were invited to tea given
by Marchessa de Wit de Marco, an American,
to meet the pretty, black-eyed, rosy-cheeked DR..
Montessori. who not long ago made brief visit
to the United States. We have been amazed to
learn that personal jealousies have driven her
from active management of the schools which
she originated, and that she is obliged to con-
fine her work to training teachers in her system
but that story must be reserved for future let
ter. Another tea was given in the elegant apart
ment of Miss Letter, daughter of the noted sur
geon, who was born and has spent most of her
life in Rome. Others who have contributed to
the pleasure of American delegates are the wife
and daughter of the only surviving son of Carl
baldi. At large tea given by the Italian coun-
Gil in what was once the magnificent grounds of
the Borghese princes we met the daughter of
the noted Mayor Nathan of Rome, who is now
in the United States as commissioner from Italy
for the Panama Exposition, and she told us how
glad he was to resign the Office after six strenu
Gus years. The council elects the mayor, and she
said it was not impossible that the next one
might be Clerical, as the Pope had now in
structed the Catholics to vote, although many of
them had been doing so all the time.
Scene at British Embassy.
The British Embassy had intended to give a
large entertainment for the Council out of COM
pliment to Lady Aberdeen, its president but
mourning for the Duke of Argyll prevented, so
which all the delegates were to come there for
o'clock tea. 1t was really the most striking
scene of the entire two weeks. The palace and
grounds were purchased by Great Britain soon
after Italy became an independent kingdom in
the early 70's and the garden is not Italian, but
English, with its thick turf and long avenues of
stately trees. At the farther end the ruins of an

Hotel Ouirinal, Rome.-The International

1t was such beautiful pieture-that grove
of ancient lick trees, with the palace for back
ground and fountains and palms in perspective.
Grass will not grow under the lex and so the
ground was covered with soft yellow sand on
which were spread at intervals immense rugs
with wicker settees and chairs grouped on them,
and little tables with bouquets of roses and
spring blossoms. Everywhere at the foot of the
trees were bowls two feet in diameter filled with
calla lilies, marguerites, and other flowers. AT
either end stood handsomely appointed tables in
the form of horseshoe literally heaped with
delicious edibles and waited upon by small
army of 1iveried and powdered servants.
Queen Shakes Hands All Around.
Would the Queen make her appearance? was
the question on every tongue, and the Joy may
be imagined when not only did she come into the
garden, but signihed her intention of shaking
hands with every one of the several hundred Wis
itors! They went forward by delegations, each
headed BY its national president, the United
States going first, only one or two kissing the
delicate hand sparkling with jewels, the others
bowling over it, and afterward they stood at one

Big Fund For Penna.
to Teach Agriculture

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 21.-Penn-
sylvania, along with other States, will
receive $4,000 year Internationally
from the Federal government to aid
in the duffusing of information on
agriculture, by the terms of the Lever
cooperative agricultural extension
Dill. The measure passed the House
yesterday. Any State will receive from
the Federal government an amount
equal to an appropriation made by the
State for the extension work, but each
State receives $4,000 Internationally.
Under the second plan of distribu-
ton, to become available in nine
years, each State will receive an ap-
preparation based upon the percentage
its urban population bears to the
whole. According to the figures of
the present census PENNSYLVANIA would
receive from this source $1S4,5OO pro-
vided the State duplicates the amount
In other words, Pennsylvania will
receive each year $4,000 uncondi-
tionally, and $4,000 or $50, 900 in ad-
dition il such amount is appropriated
by the State. This is independent of
the urban fund, which does not be-
come operative until at the end of
nine years.
This money is to be expended under
the direction Of Pennsylvania State
College. 1t is to be used in giving
practical demonstration in agricul-
tural and home economies to persons
not attending an agricultural college.
