Next Saturday will be the annual May-day

The gathering will be held on the John |
Porter Lyon farm, south of Penna Furnace.
Edward S. Moore is now monarch of all he
surveys, having bought the John B. Mitchell

ried Sarah Condo, of Spring Mills. Their
union has been blessed with seven daugh-
ters, six of whom are living, and four sons.
Interesting Facts About Egypt.
Every person in Bellefonte and many
‘throughout the county remember John
M. Keichline Jr., son of J. M. Keiohline
Eeq., of this place, who two years ago went
- to Cairo, Egypt, as a medical-missionary,
and will be much interested in reading the |
following very entertaining letter received
from him by a friend in this place :
. i Cairo, Egypt, May 5th, ’05.
My Dear Sir :
If you will excuse the paper I will begin a
letter which I have been intending to write
you ever since I left Bellefonte. I do not
forget my old friends—many times I recall
the pleasant times we had together, and you
may be sure I look forward to the time when |
I will visit dear old Bellefonte. It is nearly
two years since I came here and you cannot
imagine what a surprised and disappointed
chap I was when I saw Cairo such a large
and civilized place.
It has been enjoying a great boom, which
continues unabated. Fine, large apartment
houses are in the course of erection which
will accommodate at least 1,000 families. Op-
posite the Savoy hotel, near the American
Diplomatic agency, and only a few steps
from my house, a large building is
going up which contains
ments and three elevators. Each apartment
is rented already for from $60 to $200 per
month. Every day a new land speculation
company is launched and the shares are al-
ways oversubscribed. Land is increasing in
value every day. For instance, my landlord
paid $35 per square metre for the land on
which my house stands. He has refused to
accept an offer of $50 per square metre. He
bought it six months ago. A large bank
building has just been finished which is
large enough to hold all the banks of Centre
county. There are six such, and two more
coming. We have 150 newspapers in Egypt,
30 are dailies ; 96 are in Arabic,22 in French,
15 in Greek, 7 in Italian, 5 in English, etc.
We have very good schools here—govern-
ment, missionary and private. In the
government grammar schools there were
6,500 pupils ‘last year and in the High
schools there were 1,033. Besides we have
the colleges of law, medicine, engineering
and agriculture and industrial schools. These
are under English management. The schools
for children are not so good—very few are
uuder government inspection. Of 124,000
children in these little schools examined last
year 81,000 had received no instruction in
writing ; 70,000 had not begun arithmetic
and 54,000 had received no instruction in
reading—but all could recite whole chapters
from the Koran in a sing-song manner.
Their religious teachers make them suspicions
of everything western—very different from
the way Japan takes hold of western educa-
tion. The English deserve great credit for
the tact they have shown in governing this
fanatic people.
Now since we are so highly civilized we
suffer from the lack of two institutions which
I wish I could get started. One is a work
similar to the Y. M. C. A. for tke native and
foreign resident young men, and so, what
spare time I have, I use itin pushing this:
I have many yoiing men friends in the
schools—teachers and students—and I have
also many good friends who have influence
and money. I expect to have this work
going by the first of January next. There
are fine clubs, hotel dances and balls, theatres
and .operas, but young men who receive
less than $100 per month cannot attend these
affairs. Expenses are simply horrible. My
house is not a modern one, being part of an
old, substantial palace, But I have the
modern conveniences. I pay the small sum
of $43 per month. It is only a few doors
from our Diplomatic agency.
Vegetables, meats, coal, ete, are more ex-
pensive than in a city like Pittsburg. This
city is » delightful one for a millionaire, but
for a young doctor it is mighty tough. There
are ten good hospitals here,but no sanitorium
and so the other institution is this, and I
hope to soon have a branch of the Battle
Creek sanitorium established bere. So with
my young men’s work and a sanitorinm,
don’t you think I will bave my. hands full
The “English, French, Belgian, Egyptian,
Austrian, and other speculators are coining
money here. I wish some American capitul-
ists would come here, but America is too big,
and Egypt too far away—that her capital
must come bere abegging.
Remember me very kindly to my old
‘friends, Sincerely. yours, 4
