5 DRE8SES FELLOWSHIP CLUB
AN I
INTERESTING TALK
Keen Insight Given of Quaint Country
by Speaker—The Nile River,
the People and Government
4 Spoken Of.
««:.The Fellowship club of Trinity
ehunjh was ]j»6t night given a glimpse
Into the wonders of Egypt through the
medium of a splendid paper on that
country by Capt. 8. H. Harper, who
with Mrs. Harper just recently return
ed from an extended trip abroad. The
speaker described the great Nile river,
and told how it had been improved,
and the pyramids, tombs, mummies
and temples of the quaint land o£ the
south.
The club met in the crypt of the
church, and despite the threatening
weather, there was a good attendance.
Previous to the paper by Captain Har
per, MIBS Theodosia Harrison gave
two splendid numbers on the violiu
and Miss Maude Edmunds rendered
two songs. The accompaniments were
played by Miss Emma J. Holt and
Mrs. Harrison. Following the inter
esting and instructive talk by Mr. Har
per refreshments vere served and a
social hour enjoyed. James Swirles
and John K. Mahon were ttte hosts.
Captain Harper prefaced his talk
on Egypt with a few words relative
to the courteous manner in which the
American passengers were treated
while on English vessels, the British
captain on their boat having gone
some distance out of the regular
course in order to permit the passen
gers to see the American fleet. This
was at midnight of February 10 and
the sixteen vessels in the .fleet pro
ceeding on their way in two lines,
formed a blaze of lights. The centen
ary of Abraham Lincoln on February
12 and the anniversary of George
Washington on February 22 were cele
brated by the passengers, and Mr.
Harper was among the speakers.
Egypt Is Hot.
"Our first landing was at Funchal,
Maderla Islands," continued Mr. Har
per. "We then proceeded through the
Mediterranean, stopping at all of the
principal cities located on that great
sea, and on the morning of March 10
cast anchor In the harbor of Alexan
dria, Egypt. We at once proceeded
by rail to Cairo, 150 miles up the Nile.
Egypt contains 400,000 square miles of
surface, but there are only fourteen or
fifteen thousand square miles of this
area that is cultivable. This is the
narrow valley of the Nile. The re
mainder of the country is a sandy
waste, the Lybian desert on the we.it
and the Arabian desert on the east.
These deserts have only a few spo*n,
called oases, where man or beast can
live, and they pre nr.' numerous, so
that the Nile valley -is really Egypt.
There is a portion of land south of
tl-'- called Egypt but as it is of little
vaiue, the ownership of the country
is somewhat in uicpute, Egypt is
bound on the west by Tripoli and
and on the east by the Red sea. Per
haps there is no country in the world
where man can live with as little ex
ertion as in .he valley of the Nile.
The temperature rarely ever falls be
low 50 degrees and as it seldom rains
little shelter is needed, no fuel for
heating and but few clothes. In fact,

Nile River Immense.
"The Nile iB one of the great rivers
of the world. It is a little more than
4,000 miles in length, or about as long
as the Mississippi. For more than
1,000 miles from its mouth to the
south there is no stream of water en
tering this river. The waters that
supply it come from central Africa,
where they have an extremely heavy
rain fall. The river begins to rise
the latter part of June and continues
to rise until the latter part of Novem
ber. Under the old system which ex
isted up to within twenty-five years.
the Nile was permitted to overflow
the entire valley and when it receded
the crops were planted and before it
became too dry to injure they they had
matured. Now, it Is different, the
great d?-m which has been erected at
the first cataract and the numerous
canals and reservoirs which have
been constructed leading from the
Nile require such large quantities of
water to fill them, that the river doet?
not now rise to overflow the banks.
When the Nile recedes the gates open
ing from the river into the canals
are closed also, the gates are shut in
the great dam. and the water is heid
back until it is needed to irrigate the
land for the planting of a second :r
third crop or to aid in the raising of
the first crop. Under the old system
only one crop could be raised as they
had to wait a long while for the river
to rise and recede before they could
plant. They can now raise three
crops on the same land by the new
system of irrigation. The Nile river
parallels the Red sea for a distance
of some 250 miles from the mouth
and is only 75 to 100 miles distant. I
read an article a few days ago saying
that 3,000 years i.go, during Solomon's
time, there was a channel between the
Red sea and the Mediterranean and
that the boats of light draft passed
through this channel. I have thought
that the sands of the desert might
have blown in and filled up the valley
of the Nile, and the Nile might have
cut through the sandy harrier on the
east to the Red sea and in case it had
done so the Suez canal would never
have had to be built as the discharge
of water, 61,000,000 gallons per min
uate at low water and four or five
times that amount in high water,
would have been sufficient to have re
opened this channel and made it deep
enough for boats of heavy draft to
pass through.
The People of Egypt.
Now a word as to the people. Some
writers say there was a tribe of
aborigines who lived in the ,,Nile val
ley in prehistoric times, and that the
people who settled in the country and
are now called the original Egyptians
exterminated this tribe. The people
called Egyptians now, came into tho
country from northern Africa. Some
writers
say
SSWrdaY, June 19, 1909. ______ __ OTTDMWA f!OTTRTT"/R
II I I ———————,
they were a race of ne­
Egyptians their language and relig
ion. So, here we have a mixed race of
people. The original Egyptians, the
Asiatics, under the shepherd kings,
the Greeks, the Romans and the
Arabs. These people have all inter
married and have given the world a
new race. It is difficult to tell what
they are. A boy was once leading a
dog, a mangy, yellow nondescript fel
low, which attracted the attention ot
a gentleman, who stopping the boy
asked what breed the dog was. The
boy thought a minute and
then Baid, 'He's just do .'
This fitly illustrates the people
in Egypt. They -re just humans.
They are the yellow dog race of the
world. What is to become of them it
is difficult to determine.
Great Britian Rules.
"Egypt is now under the British
protectorate, and while it is nominally
governed by the Khedive of Egypt,
Great Britian pulls the strings, and
what they dictate is carried out. They
have done much good for the people.
Under British control they have built
dams, mills, bridges, railways, fac
tories and schools. The taxes have
been reduced from 35 per cent to four
per cent and the people have more
liberties and get better wages. They
are learning to read and write. Only
ten per cent of the people can read
now, but they are learning very rapid
ly and in time a majority of them will
possess a common education. Under
British rule the Christian churches
have established missions and schools
In 'all of the principal towns of Egypt,
and are doing much good in elevating
the standard of morality among the
common people. The Khedive, or gov
ernor of Egypt, is a progressive, na
tive Egyptian, an educated man, who
speaks five languages. He is in hearty
sympathy with the British government
in its reforms and progressive work.
Under the old system of governing
Egypt the money received by high tax
ation was used to build mosques,
monuments and palaces for the
princes, rulers and their numerous re
latives. This is not permitted now.
The Khedive who is a Mohammedan
has but one wife, although he is en
titled under the law, and the Mo
hammendan church to have more.
"Now, the pyramids. The pyramids
are located about six miles from
Cairo on the west bank of the Nile.
Cheops is the largest one, being 755
feet long. 481 feet high and its base
covers thirteen acres. This was built
by the early Egyptians nearly 6,000
years ago. It is built of solid mason
ry, the blocks being nearly seven feet
square. It is a marvel how they
elevated these great stones to their
place with the crude machinery they
had in those days. There is no doubt
now that these pyramids were built
for tombs. The early Egyptains" and
those who lived up to the time of the
Greek conquest, thought more of their
graves than they did of their earthly
dwelling. Their religion taught them
that their bodies must be preserved or
they would never enjoy the future life.
For that reason they built these great
pyramids, and cut in the solid rock
the great tombs we find in different
places in Egypt. A Pharaoh, as soon as
he was established upon the throne,
commenced to build liis tomb. Tliere
are about seventy of these pyramids in
Egypt, but Cheops and the two
smaller ones at Cairo are the greatest
of them all.
The Tombs of the Kings.
"At Thebes on the west bank of the
Nile opposite Luxor, some 300 miles
above Cairo, are located the Tombs of
the Kings. These tombs are cut in
to the solid rock of the Lybian
mountains. The entry is made run
ning backward and downward some
thing like 300 feet, and then a number
of large square entrie3 are cut. These
chambers are ornamented with in
scriptions, and with animals and gods
cut on the walls. A description of. one
of these tombs will illustrate all o£
them. You will see a man with a
hawk's head. This is one of their
gods. A man with a fox's head is an
other. You will also see figures of the
beetle cut upon the wall and figures
of some of the Pharaohs with numer
ous inscriptions in hieroglyphics. In
one of these we saw the mummy of
Anienetep II. This tomb was opened
about eleven years ago, and the
mummy has not been taken out. The
top of the sarcophagus has been re
moved and the form of this Pliaroh,
who governed Egypt fourteen hundred
years before Christ, is seen well pre
served and looking very natural. In
the same tomb were the forms, well
preserved of three young women.
There are no inscriptions to tell who
these forms were. Perhaps they were
daughters or other relatives of the
king. The inscriptions inform us that
Amenetep's remains were placed in
this tomb. There are a number of
tombs which have not yet been dis
covered. Herodotus, the Greek writer,
who wrote before Christ, and who vis
ited this place says there were forty
tombs of kings here. About 1881 a
discovery was made of the mummies
of some fifteen or eighteen royal per
sons. It would appear from the best
information available that something
over two thousand years ago robbers
occasionaly entered one of these tombs
and stole the gold ornaments from
them. This alarmed the rulers of
Egypt, and they had the remains of
auite a number of these Pharaohs re
moved and hid. They sunk a shaft
100 feet deep, then dug a lateral entry
some 200 feet back, and cut a chamber
and placed the mummies of these
groes others that they were Berbers
or a dark skinnert people who were
not negroes. I am inclined to think
that this latter statement is correct.
Their descendants, that we see In
Egypt today, bear very slight re
semblance to the negro race. These
people,were the builders of the great
pyramids. They were the founders of
the earliest civilization in the world.
They held sway in Egypt for many
centuries and no doubt had to main
tain their hold many times by fight
ing the hordes which attempted to
overrun the country. They held sway
until about 2300 B. C., when the
Asiatics overrun the country, und^r
the lead of the Hyksos or Shepherd
Kings. These people governed for
something like 500 years. They were
the rulers when Joseph was sold inio
Egypt and when Jacob and his rela
tives settled there. After awhile.
about 1800 B. C., the old Egyptians my represents a strong, heavy, stocky
arose in rebellion, and overthrew the'
Hyksos Ijfings. Then came the op
pression of the Hebrews. 'A Pharaoh
sat on the throne, who knew not Jos
eph,' and the Israelites took their de
parture. The restored Pharaohs ruled
the country until the fourth century
before Christ, until Alexander the
Great conquered Egypt. The Greeks
held it up to the first century A. D.,
then the Romans captured it. In the
seventh century came the Arabs, who
conquered the wujatry and gave the
r.:
Pharaohs in this underground cham
ber. This shaft was discovered by an
Arab and he opened it, and going
along the lateral entry discovered the
mummies of these Pharaohs, one of
which was Ramses II, and another was
Thothmes III, two of the greatest of
Egypt's Pharaohs. We saw these
mummies in the museum at Cairo.
Ramses II is said to have been the
Pharaoh of the oppression. His mum-

of Interest
Temples Are Artistic.
"The Temple at Karnak on the east
side of the Nile, near Luxor, was the
greatest temple in the world. The
ruins cover nearly 1,000 acres It was
a most wonderful structure. It is said
that it was guarded bv 2.000 sphinxes,
but nearly all of these have been bro
ken or carried away. There are now
opposite one of the entrances, thirty
two of these collosal sphinxes in a
double row, representing dltrerent
kinds of animals. On the wall are
many inscriptions in old Egyptian
hieroglyphics. There are also many
carved figures of different kinds. I was
particularly impressed with a represen
tation of the faces and heads of Jews,
which were very realistic, and of a
Pharaoh smiting them with a staff.
This is supposed to represent the
Egyptians driving the Israelites out
of Egypt or the conquering of Jerus
alem at a later date. There is also
an inscription giving an account of
the looting of the temple at Jerusalem
and the names of several cities, -euch
as Gibeon, Shunem and Ajalon, towns
captured in Palestine. There is also
an inscription on these walls naming
over COO cities and nations, which had
been conquered by the Egyptians.
There are two large obelisks standing
here made of solid granite about eight
feet square, one of them 97 feet high,
the other one not so tall. The twin
of one of these obelisks was taken
years ago and placed in the square
La Concordia in Paris, where I saw
it not long ago.
"There are many others things in
Egypt which I might describe but. I
am making this too long. Just a
word about the Rosetta stone. By the
burning of the great library at Alexan
dria early in the Christian era nearly
all of the records of Egypt were de
stroyed. The language of the old
Egyptians was lost and there was no
one left to speak the language or to
read the inscriptions. Fortunately in
1798 a stone was discovered near the
mouth of the Nile, by the French,
called the Rosetta stone, being named
from the town where' it was found,
which contained a decree of the
Priests of Memphis. This decree was
written in three different languages,
one of the old hieroglyphic Egyptian
which the common educated Egyptians
couid read, the second in an improved
Egyptian, which the scholars and
priest could read, but the third was
written in Greek, which shows that
there were a number of people in
Egypt who spoke the Greek language.
This stone, the original I saw in Lon
don, gave the key to the hieroglyphics
and enabled them to read the inscrip
tions on the temples and in the
tombs. It has given us the history of
Egypt and has been of immense value
to the people of the world."

From Wednesday's Daily.
Trinity church was converted into
a veritable garden of pink and green
last night for the Garner-McNett nup
tials, and at the Garner home, where
a reception was held following the
ceremony, the color scheme was mag
nificently carried out in unusually
elaborate decorations. The ceremony
in which Miss Blanche Vernon Gar
ner was united in marriage to Walter
McNett was performed by the rector,
the Rev. W. C. Hen gen, at the Trinity
Episcopal church at 8 o'clock. The
beautiful service was witnessed by
numerous friends and relatives of the
young couple. The reception hours at
the Garner home, 424 East Second,
street, were from 8:30 to 11 o'clock.
Mr. and Mrs. McNett left last, night
on Burlington No. 2 for an extended
wedding trip to eastern points. They
will be at. home on North Market
street after September 1.
The wedding party arrived at the
church just previous to the hour of
the service. The ushers, Wiley Faye
of Nevada. Harry Watson of Peoria,
111., and Walter Keck of Maquoketa,
all fraternity brothers of the groom,
headed the bridal procession and were
followed by the bridesmaids, Miss
Margaret Mahon, Miss Mary McNett
and Miss Helen Lofland of Oskaloos.i.
Miss Mary Garner, as maid of honor,
immediately preceded the ring bearer,
little Miss Gertrude Kerns, a niece of
the bride. The bride, on the arm of
her father, came, immediately after
The bridal party was met at the
chancel rail by t.he groom, who was
accompanied by his best man, Walter
Jordan of Minneapolis, and the rector^
Charles Wvman and Hervey Pollard
were masters of ceremonies at the
church.
During the betrothal service, the
bride and groom stood beneath an
arch overhanging the chancel steps
and immediately following this pretty
service, the entire wedding party pro
ceeded within the rail and in front of
the altar, when Rev. Hengen read the
beautiful Episcopal ring service.
The reception which followed the
church service was attended by 200
guests. The magnificent Garner
home was lavishly decorated in pink
peonies, roses and sweet peas in all
the rooms except the dining room and
upon the front porch. The dinin
room was profuse in bride's roses.
The guests were first received by the
parents of the bride and by the
