The Ancient Egyptians Wor- shiped the Same God We Believe In. Dr. Smith Tells How H2 Surrepti- tiously Shook the Hand of the Mummy of Rameses the Great. Yesterday afternoon in the anditorium of the Y. M. C. A. the Rev. Dr. Haskett Smith of England delivered a lecture to a large audience on the ‘subject ‘“‘Seven Thousand Years Ago, or the Mysteries of Ancient Egypt.” Dr. Smith is a man of wide experience in Eastern travel and study, and has had exceptional opportunities for study. He has made four trips up the Nile and spent five years on Mount Carmel, where he owns a summer residence. He is now completing s trip around ‘the world and will make a brief sojourn in San Fraun- cisco. He usually illustrates his lectures on views, but in this in- stance was obliged to omit them. In bis opening remarks Dr. Smith said that the nineteenth century, now so near | its close, will take ,rank among the most remarkable in history. In inventionm, dis- covery and studious research its achieve- ments have been most remarkable. Promi- nent among these achievements was the g from oblivion of the literature, nistery and works of art of that most marvelous and fascinating country, the land of the Pharaohs. One hundred years ago bpractically nothing was known of ancient Egypt, but by the flood of light wnich modern scholarship has brought to bear upon the subject the hieroglyphics euton the sub- lime ruics baye all peen read. One of the most interesting resuits of ithis research is the evidence it has opened up corroborat- ing the sacred records in that faithful book—the Bible. It has at the same time proved that very mistaken inierpretations nave beédn put upon these sacred records. One of tnese serious mistakes was that the system of chronology which was taken irom the margins of the manuscripts of the sacred Scriptares was supposed by cur fathers to be of aivine aunthority. These marginal notes as to dates are now known to be purely human calcalations, and ing computations from erroneous data, of courss gave erruneous results. These errors indicated that the worid was but 6000 years oid, and it is now known that the age of the earth is practically limit- less, so far as our human conceptions of time are concerned, and that 7000 years ago there lived a people on the shores of the Nile who pnssessed the highest civili- n, culture and religious iife—as high r way as ours of to-day h explained that his time was treat in an adequate way a vhich extended over the long 000 years, but he wished as concisely as possible to call attention to four important points which have veen brought out by modern researcn in de- ciphering the_hieroglyphics- and . dige:ng | among the ruins. The first point is that the ancient Egyp- tisns actually worshiped the same God that we do. Their hymns, which can now readily be translated, prove their belief in the one, only, self-existent, invisible God, who created all things. They were a most intensely rehigious people and carried this devotion into every de:ail of life. 5 The second point 1s that they believed | in a fature life, in a judgment to come, in | future rewards and punishments and in | the resurrection of thie bodv and immor- tality of the soul. Their belief in the resurrection of the body, however, did not reach the spiritual Christian cenception of it. The third point is Egyptians had eleva woman to equal- it man. Thi a point of deep significance, for it is oniy where high civilization has been reached tha: woman is not crushed and oppressel as the weaker vessel. The record has been cut in stone that the Egyptian mother, wife and daughter were treated with a greater delicacy of courtesy than the husband and father. The fourth point is that they had reached a high proficiency in art. Men have spent their lives in unearthing the ruins of Ezypt and have exhumed pic- tures, statuary and various works of aft which would do credit to the most pre- eminent artists of the present day. Speaking of the short time he had for such a great subject Dr. Smith said that the history of Egypt began when Menes consolidated the empire 5000 years before Christ and closed with the death of Cleo- patra, twenty-seven years before Christ, and that he could barely lift the fringe of tbat the ancient | the cartain and show some of the salient festures in the study. He told how the discovery of the way to read the Egyptian literature resuited from the finding of the | famous Rosetta stone, when the French | army under Napoleon invaded Egypt in 1799. Ancient Egyptian is now a lan- guage, which can be studied as Greek or Laun. The Pharaohs of whom the Bible speaks were, first, Seti, of the time of Moses’ birth, Dr. 3 h here created a<augh by telling the audience that Pharaoh was the father of Pharaoh’s daughter. Rameses 1] the Great was the Pharaob of the time of the oppression, when Moses called down the plagues. Rameses was a great hero, Dr. Smith again created a laugh by ing he had shaken hands with Rameses say ard would be sure to know him if he shonid see bim in a crowd walking down Merket street. The mummy of the great conquering king was in such remarkable preservation that the features were still well formed. The third king was Manepta. He was the Pharach of the exsdus ana perished in the Red Sea. The address closed with an eloquent ac- count of the zreat Sphinx at Memphis. WAAIG THE FUR L Lively Coursing at the Ingleside and Sacramento Parks.

The cornerstone of the new Episcopal Mission of the Good Samaritan was laid with imposing religious ceremonies by Bishop Nichols, assisted by a number of the clergymen of his diocese. The new build- ing, which is to be of wood, will stand on Second street, near Folsom, just opposite the old mission house. It will be 50 feet wide by 110 feet long and composed of two stories, reading, social and billiard rooms below and the chapel above. It is to cost $10,000 and when finished will be a hand- some and commodious edifice. The mis- sion is in charge of the Rev. W. I. Kip Jr. During the services vesterday the chil- dren’s choir of the mission sapplied the meiody of the ceremony. Dr. Middlieton, Unitea States Army, of the Presidio, and ld. Hooper made appropriate a resses. Germany is in a very difficult position. Like a prisoner in the middle ages sen- tenced to be crusbed to death between two converging walis, so is Germany between France and Russia, who at the first spark of nostility—whether from England or the Balkan Peninsuia—wiil surely close in upon ber simultaneously from the east and from the west. : ] . == N \ Stella Patrachi, Miss Minnie Barbieri, Miss Emma Grondons, Miss Margaret Oicese, Miss Adele Rottanzi, Miss F.

Chinese Passengers Fumigated at Quarantine as a Precautionary Measure. The Pacific Mail steamer Peru, Captain de Friele, from Hongkong and Yoko- bama, passed in yesterday afternoon about 5 o’clock, and lay at quarantine till 11 o’clock last night. No sickness was reported aboard, but a number of Chinese passengers were taken over to the island and fumigated as a precautionary meas ure, as the plague and fever is one several Chinese ports. The cabin passengers were Rev. Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Gill and G. G. Lotman. The Peru experienced strong gales from the west, southwest and north-northwest to the meridien, thence moderate and squally weather to the Golden Gate. She leit Yokohama on December 13, and made the voyage in 15 days 3 hours and 25 minutes. The British bark Forfarshire arrived in yesterday afternoon from Newcastle, N. 8. W. On November 5 last she buried at sea August Thisen, a seaman 19 years old. The steamship Pern brought a very large quantity of Oriental mail. In the Hongkong Daily Press of November 25 last is a story from the North China Daily News which shows the source of Li Hung Chang’s influence and grip with the Em- peror and imperial famiiy. Li’s influence, according to the story, lies chiefly with the dowager Empress. The articie says: A native correspondent at Peking tells us azain the story o1 the course taken by Li in 1874, when the Emperor Tung Chih was dying, which so bound the Empress Dowager him. At that moment there was a formid- ie party in the paisce opposed to the two Dowsger Empresses, anxious to put them and their party out of the way and raise to the throne the dissolute son of Prince Kung, now dead. The Dowager Empresses appealed to Li, then Viceroy of Cbihli, and as such the lawiul protector of the dynasty. He did not lose a moment, but made a secret forced march to Peking, accompanied by his personal guard of 4000 well-armed men—horse, foot and artii- lery, all Anhui men—on whose devotion he could rely under any circumstances. The march of eighty miles was made in thirty-six hours and timed to arrive at Peking a: mid- night. A Prince who was an adherent of the Dow- ager Empress had been placed in charge of the Chungwen Gate with a guard of his personal retainers with orders to open it only to Li and his foree. Ai midnight Li and his Aohui men were admitted and marched at once into the Forbidden City in dead silence. Every man held a chopstick in his mouth to prevent his talking and the metal trappings of the horses were allomufiled. Arrived within the forbidden precincts the Manchu bannermen on _duty st the various paiace gates were all replaced by Li's men, the empresses having sent out eunuchs to pointout which detachments were doubtfal or had almost openly declared for the conspirators. These were at once disarmed, bourd and hurriea off to the prisons of the Board of Punishments. The artiliery was posted to command the en- trances to the Forbidden City, the cavalry was set to pafrol the grounds and pick up any stray conspirators who cou!d be found and the infantry were stationed so s to surround the palace, where lay the Dowsger Empresses and | the present Emperor, Kuang Hsu, then s child about 4 years old. When day broke the sur- B:xse of such of tne conspirators as had not | en arrested during the night was complete. The disaffected were quietly made away with or sent into perpetusi exiie in the Heilung- | chang region, and the next day Prince Chu liitle son was prociaimed Emperor, v titie of Kvang Hsu. It turned out tha: neither | Prince Kung nor his son had any connection | With the conspiracy, and they wers unharmed, | Prince Kung remaining, as he always has been, a stanen friend of H. E.
