count of the double expense and inter

Board in a similar strain, but added
that he would continue the inspection
at Kobe, so long as the smallpox
scourge continues there. 1t was the
sense of the Board that the inspection
of emigrants at Yokohama who came
from Kobe, destined for Hawaii, would
be necessary, in view of the prevalence

Through Citizen, Speaks Concerning &
 Suit at Law Now Pending.
 The suit of the x-superintendent of Woodlawn's public schools, MT. Somer- vile. against the treasurer of Woodlawn for alleged back salary has been men tioned in the State Herald. The follow ing is a communication on the subject:
 There is now pending in the city court of Birmingha a suit in which every child in Woodlawn is interested. The facts in the case are misunderstood by some and hence we give the following facts, in justice to all concerned, and especially to the faithful board of edu- cation. who are charged by law with the care and administration of Woodlawn's public schools The writer is not a mem her of said board. but is conversant with all the facts in the case.
 1. By law there is appropriated for the support of Woodlawn's public schools each year the public school funds from state and county and the poll tax and privilege license of Woodlawn.
 For the scholastic year ending Sep tember 30. 1895, the board of education 5 then in control received said funds and had taught the public school. When these funds were exhausted it was de- sired to continue the school. but the un- -certa inty of tuition fees, which then were Known to be the only source of income, caused session of the board of educa- tion to be held, in which it was decided to continue the school, the teachers agreeing and, we understand. proposing to wait for their money. In this way said board of education incurred a debt of about $515.
 The present board is composed of diff ferent men. but taking a sympathetic view of the. matter the present board expressed a willingness to pay said debt. and did pay about $40 of 1t, buf thought that their first duty was to the school
Birmingham state herald., 1896-02-26

and children under their control, and for whom the law makes 1t their duty to provide. But those holding the old claims, becoming restless have asked the court to issue writ of mandamus to the treasurer of Woodlawn, into whose hands the school funds go, and by whom they are paid, ordering him to pay said old claims before anyone else is paid
 4. Though al first M ing to acknowl- edge the old claims, the present board denies the legality of said claims since they have been forced to look into the legal status of the question.
 Advice from the state educational de- partment at Montgomery was to the ef- feet that it would be a violation of law for the present board to take the money belonging to the children this year and pay it out for the schooling of children last year, thereby giving the children last year a double portion and taking from the children this year, an action contrary to the state constitution, for the children are neither in fact nor in the eyes of the law the same children. It is not question of teachers or of school boards, but of the children of Woodlawn. If the board last year could legally contract a debt of $515 holds the state superintendent, against the school fund this year. it could just as legally contract debt of $5000 and thereby con sume the school fund for years to come, which is absurd
 The present board would like to see the teachers of last year receive their money, but deem it unjust and illegal to taka funds belonging to the children of Wood lawn to pay said debt.
 This is written without the consent or knowledge of the board of education and for the purpose of letting those interested know the facts

BRILLIANT SOCIAL EVENT.
Unique Entertainment in Honor of Mrs. Low
 enthal of Birmingham.


 - Mrs. Lou Lebeck entertained a cards yesterday afternoon, at her home on Vine street. says Saturdays Nashville Ban ner, in honor of her sister, Mrs. Rebecca Loventhal, of Birmingham, Ala, Mrs. Alfred Sax of New York, Miss Millie Meyer of Boston, Miss Fensterwald of Baltimore and Miss Carrie Lndauer or Tuscumbia III. The entertainment was in celebra tion of Washing tons birthday, and the decoratio of the house were appropriate to the patriotic occasion. In the hall was portrait of George Wash ington framed in smilax and draped with the American flag. In the three rooms where the card tables were placed the chandeliers were entwined With smllax and flags, and the stars and stripes fut- tered from every available place. Over the arches between the rooms were large banners The national colors were car ried out in the flowers, for bowls filled with blue violets and stands of red and white roses were placed here and there through the rooms, which were brilliantly lighted. The scorekeepers were: For games Mesdames Sobel and Alfred Sax of New York; for points, Mrs. N. Martin and Miss Carrie Lindauer. Positions at the table were drawn for in unique way. Pretty hand-painted cards in the shape of hearts, diamonds, ciups ana spades were used. On one card would be a bar of music from national song and on the corresponding card the name Of the writer of the song would be found. Historical events, with the names of the principal actors, little sayings of our great men and sentences from the Decla- ration of Independence, with the signers, were also used in this way. These cards were used to score points. The cards for the number of guests were little hatchets made famous by the father of his country and were decked in ribbons of red, white and blue. After an inter- esting game it was announced that the first prize for games, a silver manicure piece, had been won by Miss Bettie Iser. The first prize for points was won by Miss Lillie -Iser. The second prize was awarded to Mrs. A. Loveman. It was an empire fan of black and gold. The booby was captured by Mrs. Joseph Frankland, and was dainty little figures of Dresden. Frappe was served during the afternoon by Mrs. Loventhal of Birmingham. The refreshments served were elegant and consisted of five courses. On each nap kin was fastened pretty bauble or trim ket in bright hues The national colors were carried out in the ices, and on each individual cake plate was a small bou- ouet of red, white and blue flowers. Sev- eral new and tempting delcacies were in- troduced. The entire entertainment was unique and beautiful and one of the most delightful affairs of the season.
