WOMEN PRAYED
 IN THE SALOON Anniston Treated to a Sensa- ton After the Order of
 Mrs. Carrie Nation

Anniston, May A.-(Special.)-A de- cided sensation was created In this city yesterday afternoon when it was report ed on the streets that a party of wom- en had marched from the First Baptist church to the saloon of R. B. Perkins, on Fifteenth and Glen Addie streets, and proceeded to do 1t up in regular Car rie Nation style. It was soon known that the report was not altogether founded on facts, but that a party of fifteen women and three men had gone from revival service at the church to the saloon, and after entering it kneeled down in front of the bar and prayed for the salvation of the men in the place.
 For several weeks, in fact since Sam Jones was here. series of meetings have been in progress at the First Bap- tist church, of which John D. Bernard Is pastor. Religious enthusiasm has reached high pitch and several nights many of the congregation spent the hours until daybreak praying and fasting in the church. Yesterday afternoon many of the women were wrought up to high pitch, and when one proposed to go to SdlOOu dilu hOio d Pi dy StAiOSb- ing in the place several volunteered From the church the women and three men marched in a body, stopping at sev- eral stores on the way, and cornering the clerks, would kneel in prayer and inn plore them to lead better life. Proceed ing down the street Perkins saloon was soon reached. The proprietor was absent at the time, but there were in the sa- loon two bartenders One of them fled through the back door when he saw the women enter, praying out loud as they came in. The other bartender was thus left alone to receive the guests. Several of the women surrounded him and tear fully implored him to leave and secure another position, while the other mem bers of the crowd fell on their knees in different parts of the saloon and prayed so loud that attention was attracted for two blocks. This action on the part of the women is being freely discussed in An niston today, and has created a great deal of comment.

ALFRED MILNER
 NOW IN ENGLAND
Was Greeted on His Arrival by High Officials and Persons
 of Noble Rank

London, May 24.-Sir Alfred Milner has arrived in England from South Africa, and the country is going through the novel performance of seeing colonial governor publicly exploited in connection | with a much disputed act of ministerial policy. MT. Chamberlain has spared neither time nor trouble in organizing a greeting for the high commissioner, and has so far succeeded as to induce num- Der of cabinet officers to take the most unusual course of going to Southampton
 to welcome the homecoming executive.
 MT. Chamberlain is also to give an os- tentatious luncheon to Sir Alfred Milner, to which. however number of leading liberals have declined invitations. The visit has been trumpeted through the ministerial organs as a fitting occasion for a great popular demonstration in sup port of the Chamberlain-Milner war policy. but public enthusiasm is lacking.
 Sir Alfred Miner, when he arrived at Southampton today. was formally waited upon by the mayor and corporation. In brief reply the high commissioner said he had been greatly benefited by the voyage. He had come home for rest and not to make speeches. He then proceeded to Lon don.
 When Sir Alfred arrived in London an unusually distinguished crowd greeted him on the platform. The first person to seize his hand was Lord Salisbury, who formally welcomed him Then in quick succession came MT. Chamberlain, Lord Roberts A. J. Balfour, Lord Salisbury. MT. Frederick, Lord Cranborne and other cabinet ministers and half a hundred dukes and earls and other personal friends of lower degree pressed forward to shake the high commissioners hand. All re- marked how well Sir Alfred was looking. He chatted with Lord Salisbury and MT. Chamberlain, and then went out of the station. A fair-sized crowd greeted him heartily.

Later it was useful in teething troubles, and its effect has been found to be so very bene- ficial and so free from the dangers that are consequent upon the use of drugs and soothing syrups that we have come to re- gard it, after use with three children. as one of the necessities when there is a new baby in the house and until the teething troubles are over, and we take pleasure in recommending 1t to our friends instead of the horrfd stuff that so many people use to keep their babies quiet.

West Point, Miss, May 24.-On the
closing day Of the Cumberland Pres

mittee on centennial educational en-.
dowment movement reported $780,
900 raised for colleges and the theo-
logical seminary endowment since the
Inauguration of the movement two
ycags ago, in addition to the mil
lion dollar James Milton univcr-
sity established in Decatur, Ill. Six
colleges and the theological seminary
are named as the only objects of the
endowment funds being raised. An
unsuccessful attempt was made to so
amend the report bn temperance so
10 make the assembly indorse the pro-
hibition party, but another amend-
ment advising against the tobacco
habit was accepted with some en-
husiasm.
During the afternoon session much
time was spent in the discussion of

DOWIElTES In TROUBLE.


Chicago, May 24.-The coroner's
jury which has for two days listened
to the evidence in the case of Mrs.
Emma Lucy Judd, wife of one of the
officials of John Alexander Dowie's
Zion, last night returned verdict
holding Dowie, II. W. Judd, husband
Of the woman, and Mrs. Sprecher and
Mrs. Bratsch to await the action of
the grand jury. The two women
named were in attendance upon Mrs.
Judd prior to her death. The charge
against them Is terminal RESPONSE
bility' for the death of Mrs. Judd.
The evidence given at the inquest by
some of the leading physicians of the
city, who had examined Mrs. Judd's
body after II had been exhumed, was
to the effect that the most simple
surgical ease would have prevented
the womun's death, which resulted
from the rupture of blood vessel,
They testified that she was allowed
to die when the slightest attempt
to save her life would have been sue
cessful This evidence induced the
jury to declare that the people named
were responsible for the womans
death. Papers were at once made out
and officers sent to arrest Dowie, Judd
and the two women. When the Off
GERS arrived at Zion, Dowie was not
to be found. Mrs. Bratsch was ar
rested in the building and was
promptly sent to the county Jail, but
II. W. Judd and Mrs. Sprecher were
no more in evidence than was Dowie
1t was the opinion of the officers that
Dowie had gone into hiding for the
night, knowing that he would hardly
be able to furnish bonds in time to
prevent night in Jail.
A mob Of 1000 people paraded
through the streets of South Chi
cago yesterday evening, carrying an
efiigy Of Dowie, which was finally
deposited In a large bonfire.
