Dr. West was lavish in his praise of the location of the college, and predicted for the school a great future.

BEAUTIFUL SITE WAS PRAISED

The Alabama Conference college at Ow- enton opened for the reception of students yesterday morning.
 The occasion was one for great rejoicing to the Methodists of the North Alabama conference, who have erected the college building under many difficulties. There was an audience of four or five hundred gathered for the opening. and many ex- pressions of surprise and praise were heard for the work that has been accomplished in a very few months.
 The visitors found a very handsome structure, by no means complete, but com- fortable for the reception of students.
 Among the visitors were many of the most prominent ministers of the confer- ence, including those of Birmingham, as well as numbers of the prominent citizens of the city. Half the audience was com- posed of ladies'
 There could possibly not be found more beautiful site for college than that se- lected for this college at Owenton, three miles west of Birmingham on the line of the Birmingham and Bessemer railway.

States to whom Editor ". R. Hearst of the New York Journal recently addressed a communication asking for an expression of opinion on the famous Dreyfus case. which is agitating the French Republic.
 Tn Saturdays issue of the New York Journal the following reply from MT. Sternfeld was published:
 Montgomery, Ala, September 9, 1898. Editor of the New York Journal:
 The developments in the Dreyfus case are remarkable, not because they vindicate Dreyfus, but because they were permitted to see the light of day. The case exempi- fies the power of agitation, and teaches France and the entire world that the honor of no public man or body of public men is something ethereal and can never be called into question. It teaches France that the assailability of the honor of the army Is possible. So long as governments are ad- ministered by, and armies composed of. human kind, just so long will they remain fallible, and just so long will they make mistakes and commit crimes. In every community, in every body polite, there is the good mixed up with the bad, and the bad mixed up with the good. France must
 
 of her citizens fair and open trial upon the ground that the honor of the army is above reproach.
 This entire affair is an indelibe blot upon the good name of France that time can neer efface." This horrible punishment of a seemingly innocent man recalls vividly the story of the Mother of the Seven Mar tyrs" France has truly made this man a martyr, and it may yet result in such po- litical upheavals and convulsons as those that produced the declaration des droits de fhomme."
 The world believes this man innocent of people must look to it that those in power who may be guilty shall not foist upon an innocent man series of tortures almost unheard of in the middle ages. French politicians and French officers are today juggling with the rights of one of it's sub jects, while discussing the advisability of giving him a new trial, not upon the mer- its of the case itself but entirely from political standpoint.
 The late developments have resolved might; of humanity over insanity. It is not Judaism alone, but humanity that needs congratulate itself upon the peculiar turn of French justice. It is the broad principle of the liberty of the person and press, that liberty which is an orators theme and patriots watchword, which has

PEACE JUBILEE.
President Asked When He Gan Receive
 Delegation of Fifty.

Chairman Robert J. Lowe, of the com mittee on invitation of the Southern Peace Jubilee, yesterday telegraphed President Mckinley asking him at what time il would be most convenient for him to receive d. delegation of fifty men from the southern states to extend to him a formal invitation to attend the jubilee.
 His answer is expected today, though it may be day or two before the president can name a suitable time. As he leaves Monday for a three weeks trip to Omaha and the west where he will be present at the Omaha Peace Jubilee,it is very probable that he will make the appointment for some day after his return.
 In the meantime Chairman Lowe is look ing around for the men who are to compose this big delgation which is to go to Wash ington. He is corresponding with represen- tative men all over the south and it is an assured fact that the committee which goes to Washington will be one of the most mo- table delegations of men that the south has ever sent anywhere.

He said that work would be pushed forward on the building, and that elegant furniture had been purchased. Rev. F. W. Brandon, the agent of the college, made enthusias tie speech. An elegant lunch, picnic style. was served on the grounds by the ladies of Owenton.

 Dr. W. M. Leftwich of Nashville, Tenn, was present and responded to an invitation to address the audience Among other things, he said: This college and this e4- ucational enterprise will be worth more to Alabama than all these mountains of iron and coal and all the furnaces and mills that will ever be built in this wonderful valley" Dr. Leftwichs remarks were heartily received.
