MOBILE WOMAN ADDRESsEs
 JUDICIARY COMMITTEE.
She Advocated the Passage of Bill Introduced by Representative Benners Which Legalfzes
 the New Science.

The cause of the alleged persecuted os- teopaths in Alabama was most cleverly and ably presented yesterday by Mrs. Greenwood Ligon ,an osteopathic practi- tioner of Mobile. before the Judiciary Committee of the House, by whom bill is now under consideration whose object is to legalize in this State the practice of osteopathy.
 The bill was introduced in the House several days ago by Representative Ben- ners of Jefferson.
 The meeting was held in the Senate Chamber. and the announcement that Mrs. Ligon was to appear before the Committee drew quite an audience, Leg islators and others. Among the number present were several local physicians, who. it is expected, will combat the rec ognition by the State of the privileges and protection for which the osteopaths are fighting.
 Mrs. Lgon outlined at some length the experiences of the osteopathio school since 1874, the year of it's beginning as 8 system of treatment of disease. recount ing the persecution it had met with at the hands of the old school physicians. and how it had fought all manner of op- position and finally won recognition of its rights in every State excepting Ala bama.

 disposition of fees, in its warfare against what it chose to characterize as a fake and a fraud. She told how sufferers had been restored to health by osteopathic treatment after having been abandoned as hopeless cases by members of the old school. and added that 1t was with

A GREAT PAPER
Has Superb Plant and Commodious
 and Elegant New Quarters.


 Montgomery Correspondence of The Bir-
 The plant of The Montgomery Adver- tiser is one of the most superb in the entire South, as any one who visits this city and cares to inspect, can determine for himself. The Advertiser has com plete Jurisdiction over an elegant three story structure fitted from top to bot tom in the most elegant way for newspa- per purposes. The ground floor is de- voted to the business and advertising departments The fixtures remind one of a bank and the desks are new and capa- cious.
 The typesetting machines have each a separate motor So that in case one of them gets out of order. the whole bench is not necessarily disturbed. The cellar has cement floor and here the news boys get the paper, being admitted by a door when the distributor is ready for them. The composing room has windows on three sides, so that on the warmest day in summer the air is comfortable, while in winter there Is constant flood of warm sunlight. The editorial rooms are separated from one another, but, at the same time, are in row so that each department, while it enjoys privacy, has quick communication with the rest if necessity for it arises.
 The Advertiser has @ magnificent per fecting press and very competent set of workers, headed by Harry Burney and Bruce Kennedy. Its policy is broad and liberal. and 1t prints the news with fear lessness. Major Wallace Screws and Frank Glass constitute a duo with ca pacity to direct the Fortunes of the paper into the biggest and broadest paths and are doing so very successfully. The leg islative reports of The Advertiser are particularly fine and its State news de- new plant convinces one that the paper is a great success and deserves so to be.
