had received the congratulations of official and
non-official personages he proceeded with the
Vali and Rear Admiral
Faiek Pasha together
with all their staffs, as well as the consuls
and their dragomans, the ulemas, the clerical
dignitaries, and a host
of notabes, foreign and
native, to the Hamidieh School of Industry
and Commerce, which, together with the Ha.
midieh Hospital, were to be
inaugurated
officially in accordance with imperial order.
Arriving
at the entrance of the School, and
prior to the opening of the
ceremony, the elite
of the crowd were kindly requested to draw
themselves out into a crescenttshape to be
photographed.
The ceremony was conducted in the following
manner. Arriving at the door
Abd el Kader
Effendi En Nahas, delivered the traditional
supplicatory prayer for His Majesty after
three trumpet salutes. Then
the military band
struck the Hamidieh anthem accompanied by
huzzas
from the countless crowd. He then
approached the door and cut asunder
the
ribbons drawn across it, when the two folds
were flung wide
open, and Khalil Pasha passed
through to the reception hall, followed
by the
distinguishhed invites, and the common
multitude.
In the reception hall the seats were taken
in the order of priority. On
an elevated dais the
Vali took seat with the ulemas and the
clerical
dignitaries of the different Christian sects to
his left,
and the Consular to his right.
In front were the civil and military
officials and
notables of the town, and behind the vociferous
crowd. Abdel Kader Effendi El Dana, Presi-
dent of the Municipality,
and Hassan Bey
Beyhum, another Moslem notability, and both
well
known orators, delivered patriotic spee
ches followed by other orators
of lesser fire.
Then refreshments were served, and the differ-
ent
parts of the establishment inspected. Ano
ther ceremony of inauguration
was conducted
at the Hamidieh hospital with the same at-
tendance,
and it was past noon before the final
act was gone through, and the
invites were
free to go back to their homes and rest after a
long
drawn ceremony.
In the evening Khalil Pasha held another
reception in the garden of the
Hamidieh School
The beautiful and lavish illuminations of both
school and the of cool breezes of the
night, further refreshed by the
jets of water,
made the entertainment a very pleasant one.
Refreshments. As usual at night-time all the offices
of the important
administrations such as the
Imperial Ottoman Bank, the Gas Company,
the
Railway Company etc. as well as the houses of
the notables
especially amongst Moslems were
illuminates with more or less taste and
liber-
ality. Of course the Seraglio, Barracks and
Dragons
building were brilliantly illuminated
but the palatial edifice of
Messrs Sabbagh
where the Gas Company's offices are, outshone
all
others.
At a meeting held yesterday afternoon of
the shareholders of the Bourse
and Banking
Co. of Egypt Ltd., the report of the committee
of
inspection appointed by the shareholders
was read. It stated that the
examination of
the books of the company had disclosed assets
yielding 44% for the benefit of the creditors,
which amount might,
perhaps, by increase in
value of the securities to be realised, be
aug-
mented to 50% Mr. Aghion insisted on
reading separately
The total debts of the company were returned
as £115,000, with
securities at £77,000
leaving a balance due to unsecured credits
of
£38,000.
It is perhaps, needless to point out to our
readers that this resolution
accepting voluntary
liquidation is practically worthless, if
opposed,
as we are informed it most certainly will be,
by both
shareholders and creditors.
A corerspondent writes:- "In a recent issue
you reported that the last
meeting of the
Municipal Delegation considered a project,
submitted by several notables of Alexandria
for the formation of a
society for the protection
of infants and young children. Dr.
Schiess
Pasha warmly welcomed the proposal and most
aptly remarked
"that the feelings of pity and
humanity which have inspired the
authors of
this project are sufficient to demand for it a
kindly
welcome from the Delegation." That
Sir, is all very well and admirable
in spirit, but
is it logical in conception. It must not be
forgotten that at one of the meetings held at the
Municipality to
consider the best manner
which Lord Cromer's work in Egypt might
be
commemorated an identical proposition, propos-
ed by the Cairo
Committee, and attaching
especial importance to the protection of
na
tive children, was considered. But in spite
of the wish
expressed by Lord Cromer
himself before leaving the country, this
project was received most coldly by the
meeting, and later replaced by
a scheme
for an anti-tuberculosis home, Certain Euro-
pean
notables of Alexandria, however, desired
to manifest their sympathy
with the work of
protecting children and subscribed with that
object to Lady Cromer's dispensaries. Our
town is also supplied with a
modest institution
which is doing excellent work in its own small
way at Bab Sidra, near the Gama Sultan.
Would it not then be more
rational before
creating new societies to interest oneself in
those already formed, and develope them so
as to make them more
efficacious? It will be
remembered that the Lady Cromer dispensary
was founded in memory of the late Lady Ethel
Stanley, who left in this
country such sincere
memories, thanks to a public subscription of
£4,000, of which £2,600 was used to build an
institution. The
international committee which
took the initiative of this
commemorative work
was presided over by Prince Hussein Pasha
Kamel, and the home, which consists of three
stories, has been working
for seven years under
the management of Dr. Keatinge, and renders
invaluable assistance to the population of
Cairo."

Yesterday evening at the Eldorado three
more contests were decided in
the above cham
pionship. Raicench, champion of the world,
beat
Salama in impressive style. This evening
Ruggero will measure himself
against Maurice
le Bordelais. It is certainly to be hoped that
the Italian champion will be less terrific than
on Monday. Pioutelli
will be matched against
the enormous Doueon, and Raicench with Ajax.
This is a programme of particular importance,
and will be
preceeded by an excellent concert.
Results of 2nd round.
1st contest Furny beat Maurice in 28
minutes.
2nd contest Raicench beat Salama in 5
minutes.
3rd contest Roedl beat Kouperns in 19
minutes.

In a recent issue we reported that out of
sixty cases brought before the
Mixed Tribunals
by landlords against tenants, who protested
against the anjustifiably increased rents which
80 seriously handicap
the man of moder-
ate means, judgment had been given in
every
instance in favour of the landlord, and
we once more take the
opportunity of pointing
out to the Government the necessity of
amend-
ing the existing laws by which the two
parties are bound.
We recognise that no
fault can be found with the decision of the
judges, who could but pass judgment in accord-
ance with the letter of
the law. The fault lies
with the Civil Mixed Code, which was drawn
up to favour the landlords in consequence of the
weakness of their
position prior to itsexistence
in its present form. To account for sudh
a code,
favouring jm every respect, as we have said,
the
landlords, it is necessary to hark back
to the time previous to the
institution of the
Mixed Tribonals. Atthattime the landlords were
unable to enforce payment of rent by any
Coart of Justice on account of
the Babylonic
judiciary scate. Matters reached such a point
that
the landlord, who desired a tenant to
leave on account of non-payment
of rent, had
te find him another house and even pay him
an
indemnity to cover the expenses of removal
Nabar Pasha, who recognised
the unjust state
ot affairs, set himself to provide a remedy and
came to the rescue of the landlords, almost all
of whom at that period
were natives, and
amixed coda, that which exists to-day, was
drawn
ap, by which the landlords obtained
practically full power over their
tenanta, who,
to-day are in their tarn unable to safeguard
their
own interests. The time, therefore, has
come when it is necessary to
revise the law
of 187580 that the landlord shall not have
the
supreme power over his tenant which
he now possesses.
The Khedive who left Constantinople on his
yacht "Mahroussa"this
morning will hold a
reception at Ras el Tin palace on Thursday
the
3rd prox.
A fire broke out in the kitchen section of
Ras el Tin palace at twenty
minutes to six
yesterday afternoon, a wooden beam built into
one
of the flaes being the cause thereof The
firemen stationed at the
Palace, assisted by
water carriers, had little difheulty in
extinguish-
ing the fire before any extensive damage could
be
done, and when the steamer from Menshieh
arrived on the scene all
danger of a conflagra-
tion was over.
Previous to this, however, the fire-brigade
had already extinguished a
fire in Nasr el Din
street, near Rasel-Tin. The call was given at
12.45 p.m. and the brigade was on the scene
within six minttes. Here
they found the
usual difficulty in getting a good water sapply,
the nearest hydrant being 520 metres distant
from the fire. The shop,
which contained a
large stock of petroleum, was well alight
the
fire had already penetrated into
the flat above, the flames spreading
up the
front of the shop entered the second floor
by, the windows.
The steamer arrived,
however, in time to confine the fire
the
rooms Already ablaze,and it was but the
work of about an hour and a
half to completely
extinguish the fire. The damage is reported
to
be about £450, but this will doubtless be
found to be a considerably
exaggerated estimate.
At 3-30 this morning a carpenter's shop off
the Coptie Charch street caught fire, and when
the brigade arrived they
tound the saw pit and
machinery well afire, bat the people had
beat
own the flames considerably, and it was but
the work of ten
minutes to completely extin-
guish the fire
Dr. F von Katser, the Chief of the Bosnian
Geological Department, has
forwarded details
of a catastrophe by which the Turkish Village
of Mustajbasic has been entirely destroyed.
The village was built on a
mountain slope,
and was divided into two parts by the river
This
time not containing, as usual in the
Krivaja. The inhabitants were
recently alarm
ed by rumbling noises in the hight, and,
rushing
from their houses in the belief that an
earthquake was in progress,
found that part of
the mountain was moving slowly down upon
them.
A general flight into the open country
followed, and when daylight came
it was found
that the fields and gardens were already cover
ed
with loose stones and earth While the land
slide was continuing. At
considerable risk the
peasants says the "Globe"saved most of
their
movable belongings, and their animals, and
then retired out
of danger to watch their houses
being slowly crushed in. Twenty-six
farms were
thus destroyed. The earth movement ceased
suddenly at
midday on the second day, but by
that time the upper part of the
village had
been covered with earth to a depth of over
forty
feet.
Meanwhile the land on which the lower part
of the village stood began to
move down the
mountain slope, the slip commencing without
the
slightest warning, and continuing for a dis-
tance of over half a
kilometre. No loss of life
was caused, but the damage done was
very
extensive, and the disaster was completed by
the original
landslide obstructing the flow of
the river, which flooded the entire
neighbour.
hood. The peasants eventnally cut through
the natural
dam thus formed, and released the
water.
The catastrophe is attributed to the sudden
melting of the snow
accumulations on the
mountain commit daring a spell of abnormal
heat.
Certainly the most valuable publication in
the domain of Egyptology this
year is the
second volume of the "Tebtanis Papyri" just
issued as
the second instalment of the Univer-
sity of California Publications in
Graeco-Roman
Archwology 1907 under the editorshipof Messrs
Grenfell and Haunt, and Goodspeed, with the
assistance of Mr. Smyly, of
Dublin. The first
volume of papyri from this site was made up of
ee Greek documents obtained by care
fully disintregrating the cartopage
of crocodile
mum nies, and a large number of similary deriv-
ed
manuscripts still remain to be published.
The present volume is devoted to papyri
found in the rains of houses,
and as these edi-
fices, which were the final series of
habitations
erected in the Payoum, are generally of the
Roman era,
but few Greek, or Ptolemaic do-
caments are included. Indeed in some
instances
the writings are to be dated late in the 3rd.
century
A.D. Some idea of the importance of
the book may be formed when it is
explained
that over 170 texts of more or less length are
rendered
in full and summaries of more than
250 others are appended.
The short account of the more universally
interesting contents we can
alone furnish here
will present some idea of the pregnant promise
of the modern science of "Papyrology."
The students and scholars
amongst our
readers will naturally desire to know what
fragments
of very celebrated classic authors
are restored to usin this volome.
Whilst the
ordinary folk will more look for what it reveals
to us
of the life and fortunes of Egypt's inhabi-
tants for the six centaries
upon which its
contents may be said to throw the whole light
of
day.
The chief find in respect of classical litera-
ture is that of &
portion, in Greek, ot the
history of the Trojan War, by Dictys
Cretensia,
an author whose work has hitherto only been
extant in
late latin versions, and who some
persons denied not only that his book
was
never written in Greek but that such a person-
age never
existed. The text preserved consists
of two long colamna, of which an
excellent fac.
simile is given, written upon the beck ofa
series
of Roman Revenue retarns dated AD.
206, and therefore the Dictys
Cretensis copy
is of the third century. The recovery of this
meries Belli Troiani," which was a sort of prose
guide to Homer, is of
peculiar interest because
of the unusual statements as to the origin
of
the book. In the prologue to the Latin version
we are told that
it was written by Dictys, the
friend argl companion of Idomeneus, in
Pho
enician letters, upon sheets of bark which were,
at his death,
deposited in his grave at Cnossos
There, in the time of Nero, anearthg
vuake opened
the tomb and the writings being discovered
were
transliterated by order of the Emperor
into Greek. Of this Greek
version a Latin
rendering was made by a certain L. Septimiua,
who,
however, in a note gives a somewhat dif.
ferent story of the discovery
of the work. The
fortunate find of the Tebtanis Greek text does
not, of course, substantiate the statement as
to the Phoenician
alphabet having been used
for the original composition ; but it does
carry
back the work to its Greek prototype, and,
moreover, very
considerably dates back the
period when it was written: It must
have
been comparitively familiar to readers at
the commencement of
the third century
for a Fayoum library to possess a copy, and
therefore even if we believe the story of its
discovery to be a fable
it must have been
written when the author could have had access
toall the most valuable accounts of the Trojan
era, which finally
perished with the destruction
of the library at Alexandria, were still
to
be drawn from. The sources of Dietys were
therefore of great
antiquity and not as has
been suggested merely those of the later
mythographers and rhapsodists. The age of
the new Greek version must,
if it is of sufficient
that Herr F. Noack several years ago
contend
edthat Dictys certainly had been translated
from the Greek
to the Latin should be stated
in honor to his scholarly judgment. The
other
Classical fragments are two fairly long pieces of
Homer.
This Time not containing as usual in the
papyri, a number of additional
lines to those
be found in our well known. classical
manuscripte.
There are also about 50 lines of
the oration of Demosthenes "De False
Lega-
tion" dating from early in the second century,
and very
useful as proving the substantial
acouracy of our versions of the
speaker.Coming
now to the nameroas documents concerning
the
administration efthe country, legal matters,
deeds and leases,
contracts and mortgages and
also the social and religious life. The
most
entertaining from a popular point of view, and
also very
valaable historically, are a nomber of
papyni relating to the
priesthood of Soknebtania,
the crocodile deity temple town from
which
this literary treasure trove has come. About two
years ago
Dr Ottoissued volameone of his work
"Priests and Temples in Hellenistic
Egypt"
(in German). How gratified he will be with
the immense
store of information these papyri
afford may be imagined. He will also
for the
second volume have the assistance of M. R.
Lagneur's
edition of the correspondence be-
tween the priests at Syene and Lagid
kings
in his "Quaestiones epigraph et papyri se-
lectae" founded

tain panels in memory of those who have
fallen in the
execation of their duty in the
Sadan. Many of these have already been
pro
mised. The main entrance is at the west end, but
this will be
used, as @ rule, only for ceremonial
or special oceasions, side doors
being provided
beth on the north and south within the shelter
of
the transepts, so that the prevailing winds
being from one or other of
those quarters an
alternative means of access will always be
avail-
able. The choir is raised three steps from the
nave, and is
furnished with a screen to be
male of wood from the Babrel Ghazal,
with
which also or with some othet suitable native
wood the stalls
are to be made.
The design of the church itself is in many
ways remarkable. One great
principle had been
kept always in view by Mr. Weir Schultz--the
architect--that of absolute simplicity and
utility. He has broken away
from all the stereo-
typed "styles" There are pointed arches,
because this construction reaches the groand
quicker and does not need
heavy buttresses to
resist the trust. The roof has a low pith,
because thatis more suitable to the "special
loeal conditions, and the
smaller windows and
openings of the ambulatory are not arched,
but
built with simple sloping Slabs, because
this is more easily and
cheaply done bythe
local labour available thaw the arched oem.
The
material generally will bea aendstone of
two saaiel yellow and a pale
red, which is
got from a hill called Gebel Arli, on the White
Nile, and about 28 miles soath of Khartoum.
The floor will be laid with
Sudanese marble
and the roof covered with green glazed cor
rugated
tiles ; indeed, the church will be built
with local labour and local
material as far as
possible, and the choice of its details is
raled
by this important consideration. The windows
will be shaded
from the direet rays of the san,
and in hot weather can be-ecreened
with mats
to be kept cool with the trickle of water from a
perforated pipe. Within a fine and diymified
effect is produced by the
great constructional
ibs which uphold the roof; all the more
strik-
ing because they are not fretted with recru-
descences of
obsolete or alien ornament, but
tell their own tale in the simplest of
architec
ural language. The works are under the su-
pervision of
Mr. John Latimer, who is aided
by the advice of Captain Done, R.E.,
Director
of Military Works for the Sudan and a member
of the
Church Building Committee.
To complete this great undertaking some-
like £7,000 is still needed,
not counting the
cost of the campanile and a most necessary
increase ot the endowment fund. There is money
enough in hand to carry
on the building for
about another year, and to avoid the waste and
loss of an interruption in the work it is boped
that this interval of
time may suffice for the
remainder. A general appeal for help is
shortly
to be made. Meanwhile, sobseriptions will be
received and
acknowledged by Major Phipps,
the hon. seoretary of the Khartoum
Church
Fund, The Grove, Khartoum.
Nous avons le plaisir d'annoncer le mariage de M. Joseph Viret, le sympathique employé du Crédit Lyonnais de notre ville, avec Mlle Henriette Janin. La cérémonie nuptiale a eu lieu à Lyon-Villeurbane dans l'église de Rumilly, le 18 Septembre
Nous adressons aux nouveaux mariés nos meilleurs souhaits de bonheur et de prospérite.
Spécialement dédié à la colonie italienne d'Alexandrie, le programme actuel de l'Urbanora remporte le plus grand des suocês : du commencement à la fin ce n'est que bravos, bis et rappels bien mérités d'ailleurs.
"LA Breccia di Porta Pia," "Les manæn vres sur les Alpes," "Le baptême du cuirassé Roma," etc., sont autant de vues qui plaisent même aux plus indifférents et les attractions viennent encore ajouter à l'intérêt d'un programme des mieux réussis. Lampo, seul rival de Frégoli émerveille sen anditoire au point que l'on se demande si réellement ce n'est qu'un seul homme que l'on voit ou s'il a une doublure; des paris ont même été engagés, qui furent perdus par les incrédules.
Lampo parait aux matinées comme aux soirées et les programmes de l'Urbanora sont d'ailleurs régulièrement éxécutés à toutes les représentations, sans aucune omission.
Aujourd'hui à 5.30 grand concert avec programme très choisi. Demain après le concert, aura lieu comme d'habitude, le grand spectacle de cinématographe, qui commencera à 7 heures précises.
La direction délivrera à partir du 15 Octobre des abonnements d'hiver, qui dureront jusqu'au 15 Mai. L'abonnement de famille sera de P.T. 200 et de P.T. 100 le simple.
