feared that the Third Regiment might go

camp here, and some other slight indispo-
stions, put him under his surgeons care
temporarily. Seeing that he was in dam
ger of being i'll if he did not rest up and
take some precautions he was induced to
go to the De Soto for a short time. There
he speedily recuperated and later Joined
his regiment on the transport

the Minnewaska was moved he seemed
but little the worse for his attack of

NEW COLLEGE
 AT OWENTON The Board Of Trustees Has Named a
 FaCulty.a WILL OPEN SEPTEMBER IA Dr. Parker Says Prospects Are Brighter
 Than Expected
BUILDING UNDER RUSH ORDERS
Work Has Proceeded to the Third Story-0p- position to the School Among a Few Members of the Conference
 Trustees Meet.

The faculty of the North Alabama con- ference college at Owenton has been chos- en, work on the building has advanced to the third story and everything is in a fair swing for a prosperous opening.
 "The prospects are brighter than the most sanguine expected" said President Z. A. Parker. last night. "We have appli- cations in already from parents who de- sire to place their children in good school and we expect to begin with a full attend ance.
 The school will open on Sept. H. The work on the building is now proceeding un- der rush orders and by autumn a splendid building will be reared at Owenton, one of Brmingham's prettiest suburbs. All mod ern facilities and equipments will be used and it will be first class educational in- stitution in every respect
 The board of trustees met yesterday at St. Johns church, on the South Side. Eleven out of the thirteen members were present. The outcome of the meeting was the election of a faculty.
 pr. z. A. Parker, former citizen of Bir- mingham and late of the Athens Female College, will have full control as president. The ability of pr. Parker is recognized throughout the south.
 Dr. E. M. Glenn will be professor of Eng fish. Dr. Glenn is widely known through his writings in the Alabama Christian Ad- vocate
 Prof. Lester Smith was chosen to occupy the chair of Latin and Greek. He was ed- ucated at Oxford and the Southern Uni versity and is characterized as a young man of ripe scholastic attainments.
 Prof. z. D. McWhorter will fill the chair of mathematics and science. He received his education at the Vanderbilt University and Peabody Normal of Nashville. Prof. McWhorter is said to be very bright scholar.
 The meeting of the board was very en- thusastc throughout, and many matters pertaining to the welfare of the new college were discussed.
 Some Opposition to the Work
 The early career of the college which 1t is contemplated to make an honor to Birmingham and Alabama has been stormy in some respects.
 When the matter was preached at the last conference session strong opposition arose. The life of the school was decided, however by an overwhelming majority
 The opposition, notwithstanding this, still continues among few. A petition has been signed among a small number pro- testing against the college.
 Here is where much bitter feeling comes in to the church body. Those in the ma jorty go into political parlance and declare that the opposition is comprised of bolt ers."
 Just what this opposition will lead to Is hard to tell. although the friends of the college declare that they feel no uneasI- ness as to the success of the institution.
 It is understood, however, that the oppo- stion is still at work.

 Some of the local dealers have already raised on the price of these brands.
 An Age-Herald reporter walked into a popular cigar stand yesterday and throw ing down a nickel, called for a certain brand for a friend"
 q am sorry, sir!' said the polite clerk as he gravely shook his head, "but they are cents now. We were compelled to pay a profit on the last lot we bought. The manufacturers have discontinued mak- ing this brand, and we attribute it to the war tax which will be levied on cgar- cites. Some of the dealers are selling them for 10 cents. and in a short time they can- not be had at any price,"
 The reporter reluctantly took anoth of the "expensive" luxurles, he took out his leash" memorandum and charged "war tax" with one cent.

WATER, GAS AND
 STREET RAILWAYS
Will Occupy the Attention of the AIdermen-S SanitaryCon-
 dition of the City.

The board of aldermen will not meet regular senhi-monthly meeting.
 The first business to come up will be the adoption or the rejection of the report of the water committee This was put off from the meeting last Wednesday night. An ordinance will also be introduced regu- lating the laying and operation of the street railroads of the city. This ordi- nance will be exhaustive and will settle permanently, 1t is thought, the fight be- tween the Birmingham Railway and Elec- tric company and the Birmingham Trac- tion company
 The gas question will again be taken up and the city attorney will be called upon to give his opinion of the relations now exist ng between the city and the Birmingham Gas company
 The city authorities say they are doing all in their power to keep the cty in a clean, healthful condition during the sum- mer months. General Thomas. sanitary inspector, and. his assistant Dan Me -Crea, are making constant and careful in spections of the city and many arrests of property owners and tenants are being made for not keeping their premises in a clean condition.
 Work on the Eighth alley sanitary sewer is being pushed rapidly, and by Saturday 1t will have been completed to Eighteenth street. Bu August 1, it will have been com- peted to Twenty-sixth street, its upper end. It starts at Fourth avenue and Ninth street. Property owners will be re- quired to make the sanitary connections with this sewer as fast as it is completed past their property.
 The board of health does not consider that the tearing up of the streets will Tn any way prejudice the health of Birming- ham, It is only where old vegetable matter Is to be dug up that 1t Is dangerous to do so in the summer months. Clay, on which Birmingham is built, is considered a dis infectant rather than otherwise.

More than a month ago The Age-Herald printed dispatch from It's correspondent at Decatur giving an account of the curing of two children who were at deaths door by Mime D'Machinnes, who is touring the south featuring on menticulture and self-treat- ment by the Swedish method. The two children, one the little son of J. D. Penney, the other the little daughter of MT. Reeves, both prominent Decaturites, the dispatch stated, were snatched from the jaws of death by the woman scientist and the two Decaturs talked of nothing else for days but these miraculous cures performed with- out the aid of medicines.
 Mme. D'Macfdnnes is registered at the Florence, where she expects to remain for two weeks longer. She Is an enthusiast on the Swedish movement art and a brilliant and convincing conversationalist. The De- catur cures she does not consider as mi- raculous, but says she can point to hun- dreds of others as the natural result of the movement" which Is no more nor less than the development of undeveloped and dis-

 The Closing Scenes
 Mrs. Hooker was not in the court room at the time, but the news was conveyed to her in the waiting room below, by her husband, and there was great rejoicing in the Hooker family.
 Lillie Parks was in the court room when the decision was rendered and was greatly affected during the delivery of the decision She left the court room, accompanied by relatives and friends and as she reached the hallway she again burst into a flood of tears and bowed her head on the easement in a paroXism of grief.
 She left the court house in company with her husband and a young girl, presumably her sister, the party vending its way across the vacant lot in front of the court house and got into a spring wagon that was standing in waiting.
 Her trunk was placed in the wagon and they were driven slowly away towards the home of her father, where the unfor tunate woman will enter upon a new life.

The cigarette fiend wears a worried look. He Is the first of American citizens who is indirectly called upon to foot the bills Of the Hispano-American war.
 Anticipating the cigarette tax as embod- fed in the war revenue bill before congress, some of the manufacturers have dscontin- ued making the twenty for a nickel' cig- arctic, and in consequence thereof these particular brands have gone to a premium. These cigarettes were the product of the aggressive competition encountered by the American Tobacco company, when Leggett and Myers and Drummond of St. Louis
