THF oElY bAIlY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
preYfus AGAIN in Court.

4 The criminal branch of the court of
fcassation, the highest court in France,
has heard the appeal Of Alfred Drey-
fus, and has granted him a revision of

benefit of a new trial. No scenes OF
enthusiasm of the reverse attended the
hearing before the court Of cessation,
and none are expected in connection
with the hearings that are to follow.
The ginger has departed from the
mobs, and public demonstrations
against the unfortunate officer are not
probable.
No darker conspiracy was ever
fathered by great government against
an individual than the one the French
authorities concocted against Alfred
Dreyfus. The case was made to touch
the national life-to account for the
disasters in the war with Germany-to
be in short a salve for the national
honor. The methods resorted to in
volved the use of such rascals as Els
terhazy and Patty du Clam, and con-
viction based on perjury and forgery
in general. The conviction was known
to be based on villany, and yet it was
followed up with a sentence involving
q degree of inhumanity that has not
been approached since the days of the
cruel old Romans at least. The entire
story reads now like something unreal
No doubt Justice will now be done to
Dreyfus, and he will be enabled to
spend tthe rest of his days in peace.
But no court can restore to him the
years that the conspirators aided by
tho government robbed him Of No
court can wipe out the memory of the
horrors he endured and lived through,
but an effort Is to be made to render
to him all the justice that circum-
stances now make possible. French
public sentiment will aid the French
tribunals in this work of setting things
right through a revision of the entire

Locks in the Warrior.

The people of all parts of Alabama
are interested in the opening of the
Warrior, and it is best to have the
truth presented regardless of the con-
test in the Sixth or any other district.
The plain, cold facts should not injure
any candidacy.
The size Of the locks to be placed
in the Warrior was determined by a
board of FIVE engineers detailed for
that purpose. This was done in 1887,
and the conclusions of this board were
approved by the war department. The
subject was wholly one of engineering,
and only engineers had any hand in
reaching the conclusion.
To show what was done it is best to
cOmpile a short table as follows.

INDIAN MAIDENS
BROUGHT TO GRIEF
TWO Pretty Graduates of Carlisle
School Arrested While Enjoying
City Life in Allegheny.

PITTSBURG; June 2S.-Two In
dian maidens alfred in fashionable
finery and bedecked with up-to-date
conceits that would excite the envy
of a Newport belle, We're detained for
the matron's department of the Ale
gheny Central police station.
The desire Of the young women to
indulge in the Injuries enjoyed by
their white sisters, and the alleged
infatuation Of Wiona Woodruff, one
of the maidens, for young brave at
the Indian school, at Carlisle, Pa,
caused her arrest and that of her
companion, Mary Savage, yesterday.
The plans which were carefully
made by the young Indian women to
visit the Worlds Fair were shattered
yesterday, when they were taken
from their elegantly furnished room,
on Montgomery avenue, by Indian
Commissioner J. A. Allen to the po-
lice station.
10th girls graduated at the Carlisle
school last Tuesday. Miss Woodruff
is an Apache. while her friend, Miss
Savage, is a daughter of the Crowfoot
tribe. After they received their di-
,plomas last week they were provided
with transportation to the West.
Miss Savage lives at Seattle, and
Miss Woodruff in Oklahoma.
Besides their railroad passes, the
girls each had about 500 when they
left the school. They were given
Oft ir7s to i'm a.
diately to their relatives, and they
had promised to follow the instruc-
lions given them.
On Wednesday the girls came to
Allegheny, and rented furnished
room near the North Park. They de-
cided to remain in Allegheny until
Miss Woodruff received a reply to a
letter which she wrote to young In
dian at the Carlisle school.
The letter fell into the hands of
the authorities at the school. and
Commissioner Allen was sent to To-
cate the girls. The government is
responsible for all the graduates OF
the Indian schools until they have
been safely returned to their reser-
vations or parents.
Yesterday the girls cried bitterly
when they We're told by Commission
er Allen that they must leave at once
for their homes. They said that they
had intended stopping for a week at
ST. Louis before they returned to the
Far West. Commissioner Allen and
his charges had supper last night at
the Hotel Wolfendale, after which
they were placed on train and
taken West by him.
The girls are pretty and both
were faultlessly dressed. They wore
tabernacle skirts, high heeed OK
ford shoes, large hats with flowing
blue wells. white gloves and each had
a pretty enameled chatelaine watch
