EDUCATIONAL RALLY.
Methodist Church the Starting Point Of
the 10th Century Fund.

E. church the movement for the
collection of 1920 for the Goth
century educational fund of $27,-
500, 900. pledged by the various
branches of the Methodist church,
was launched. The $12, 300 is the
amount to be raised by the In
dian Mission conference. There
are two years in which to do the
work. and those who subscribe s.
or more are given the two years in
which to pay their pledge.
The meeting was opened by the
congregation singing the "Coron-
alton Song" This was followed
by a scripture lesson by Rev. S. B.
Cox, who then offered an earnest
prayer. After another song Rev.
H. B. Brown of Oklahoma, presi-
dent of the board OF education,
made a few remarks touching on
the work of raising the fund. He
said that while the Indian Mission
conference was asked for but $12,-
900, it was the purpose of the
board to swell that amount to
500, 900, which would be about
dollar per capita. He said that )
per cent of the amount would go
to the mission schools, 90 per cent
to endowing the theological school
of Vanderbilt University, and al
lowing ) per cent for expenses of
collecting would leave 20 per cent
of the ST, 100000 to be collected
by the NJ. Z. Church South for
general educational work.
Rev. Brown was followed by Dr.
Pritchett of Nashville, one of the
general missionary secretaries of
the NJ. f. Church South, who
spoke at considerable length on
the question of Christian Educa-
tion, His talk was generally
considered by the audience to he
one of the ablest arguments in
favor of denominational schools
ever delivered here or elsewhere.
His address was characterized by
the great emphasis with which he
denounced ungodly educators. His
bold attacks upon educational
systems of states or corporations
which were attempting to build
character on a foundation Of de-
bris, or rather without a founda-
ton, in the minds Of unconverted
chill lren were unusually strong.
However much the speaker ignored
the benefits of public schools, it
was the general verdict that he
left nothing to be said in advocacy
Of denOminatiOnal institutions.
After the address by DR.. Pritch-
EFT subscriptions to the educational
fund were called for. and 81 900
was pledged. This is the opening
of this great campaign, and the
subscription was headed by a
pledge of $500 from DR.. Wolver-
ton,
The board of education cOnclud-
ed its laborS and adjourned this
morning The sum of the work
done is embodied in the plan drafted
by the committee appointed yes
terday. This report will be given
out for publication in a day or two,
and will make very interesting read
ing.
The beginning made in this
campaign carries promise of emf
nent success.

DREYFUS AT RENNES.
The Famous French Prisoner Is
safely Landed and Taken to " Ill
tary Prison at Brux.

Rennes, July Capt. Dreyfus ar
rived here early this morning. The
man whose Imprisonment on Devils is
land has stirred the whole world was
not landed at Brest as official announce
ments had led the people to expect. In
stead, he was brought by the French
cruiser Sfax to Quiberon, and from
there was taken by train to Bruz. The
distance from Bruz to Rennes-about
eight miles-was covered in a carriage,
Capt. Dreyfus, being accompanied by
high police official. Ten gendarmes,
riding in a wagon, followed the car
riage, and the other guards followed
on foot.
Rennes, France, July 3.-When Drey-
fus had been placed in his cell Satur-
day morning the governor of the prison
sent Nine. Dreyfus the news of the ar
rival of her husband and she Immediate
ly went to the governor and asked per-
mission to see the prisoner.
Leave being granted, the faithful wife
entered the prison almost unobserved
and was conducted to cell No. $50, ac-
companied by Nine. Havet.
The meeting between the long-parted
husband and wife can better be imag-
ined than described. Naturally, it was
most touching.
Madame Dreyfus issued from the
prison in a state of collapse. She found
her husband much aged, with beard
and hair whitened and body shrunken
and stopped. She said Dreyfus knew
nothing of the events of the past two
years.
Nine. Dreyfus desires to maintain an
absolute retreat until after the trial.
the date of which is definitely fixed for
July 81.
