 Lieutenant Screws.

Lieutenant Screws.
 The Atlanta Journal of yesterday has this to say of the engagement or two young Montgomer1ans:
 Mrs. James Lahey of Montgomery an- nounces the engagement of her daughter, Josephine, to Lieutenant William Screws of the United States army.
 'The engagement is a matter of unusual interest in Atlanta, as Miss Lahey has been an admired visitor here of her cousin, Miss Lucille Hit, and Lieutenant Screws was stationed at Fort McPherson for a while with the 29th regiment before leaving for the Philippines. This an- nouncement will be somewhat of sur prise to their friends, for though there have been rumors of the engagement for some time the wedding was not expected to take place soon. Lieutenant Screws has received orders to return to the Phil ippines, and for this reason the wedding will take place October l7th, and Miss Lahey will return with him to the East as his bride.
 "The marriage will be solemnized at the Church of the Holy Comforter, at Mont gomery, and will be followed by recep- tion to the bridal party at the home of the bride.
 Miss Lahey has been a great society belle in Montgomery since her debut a few years ago. She is unusually pretty, with charming manners and in addition to these attractions which have made her social favorite, she has the true char acteristics of the womanly woman.
 Lieutenant Screws is a member of the prominent family of that name of Mont gomery and was a resident of that city until two years ago. when he joined the United States army as Lieutenant ir the 29th regiment He is in every way worthy of the fine young woman he has Won'

 NEW CONSTITUTION.
He Says the Instrument Will Re ceive the Support of the Educa- tors of Alabama-Some
 Good Changes.

Hon John w, Abercrombie, State super intendent df Education left yesterday evening for Birmingham to attend meet ing of the Jefferson County Teachers h. stitute, at which he will deliver an address on The New School Laws Hon. J. B. Graham of Talladega VIII also deliver an address on ''The work of the Constitutional Convention in it's relation to the public schools of Alabama:
 Speaking yesterday afternoon with representative of The Advertiser about the new constitution, MT. Abercromoie said he believed it would have the sup port of every teacher in Alabama
 'The voting privilege and the punnc school system were the two most iiii- portant problems with which the Con yention had to deal" said MT. Abercrom- bic Believing the matter or puoht education to be more important than lnat of the suffrage even, l naturahy leie greater interest in the article on that sup feet than in any other. While that article does not measure up to what desired, it is an improvement upon the educational provisions of the olu con stitution It provides all the sources oi revenue that are contained in the oid constitution, and, in addition recosllEes the principle of local taxation TOT sehools' for which those engaged in school "orN have so long contended.
 The old constitution provides no sort of local taxation for schools, except Ill incorporated towns and cities; the new permits counties to levy one-rhlli tax for educational purposes. II leNieu III all the counties, this tax would add more than a quarter of a million dollars 10 the school fund. If ratification carries at the polls, it is my opinion that some II not all the counties, will levy the tax.
 The minimum direct State apProprla- tion for public schools under the oIu constitution, is fixed at s1O0OOo per an mum: under the new, it is fixed at " mus on the dollar, which with present Ndlua- tions will amount to $S00,0O per atI'uih A certainty is thus substituted TOT an uh- certainty. As taxable values increase tue school fund will increase. The ne" coh- stitution empowers the Legislature 10 make additional appropriations TOT schools from the general tunu'
 Under the provisions of the new u will not be so difficult to amend the C"h7 stitution. and those who are dlsapPoIht- ed that the convention did not grant to townships and districts the power or local taxation for educational purposes can afford to vote for ratification on thls feature alone.
 Tt is my opinion that the educdtlohai forces of the State will stand for ratlfi- cation"

 ''I am now going abroad for the tweAty- eigth time, Just to reassure the women who are deIuging me with letters, tell them that the widows, at least. will be perfectly safe so far as I am concerned" MT. Depew, on June 24 1901
 You see, Justice Brewer. who was classmate of mine at Yale. married re- gently, and it has set all of us single fel- lows thinking.-January 10, 1901.
 ''Matrimony is largely a matter of pro- pinuuity. 4 man sees a woman and says he could be happy if he had her. If he gets her, he usually is. If she rejects him. he does not try again soon, but sits back and reflects"
 50 long as your body is healthy, your mind is clear and your, heart is vigorous, you are young"
 You should cultivate young people and both love and inspire love"
 "To be engaged to be married has a tendency to demonstrate that one is popu- lar. To deny such report is like drop bring a raw oyster down your collar, I like oysters, but not in that way. l deny or afirm nothing" vsersrsgt

 To Fight Christian scisntists'
 News comes from London that the American mother of the Duke or Man chester is coming to New fork to nshe Christian Science. ,-
 The following is from The Ne" AorN Journal of Wednesday,:
 "Consuelo Duchess of Manchester. IS about to start a relentless war against Christian Scientists in the United states. She Is even going to try te get Ia" passed making the tenets Of the sect criminal offence.
 "yyer Grace has expressed heresif very strongly in the matter, and at Carispao' where she has been staying recently sne witnessed several sad deaths which she directly ascribes ts a foolish disregard or ,,e.,icai heb under persuasion of the local branch of the sect The Duchess IS about to visit America and as Her Grace Ia very popular in the United States II is not at all improbable that sne may bas able to get many Senators or her ac u,taintance to influence Congress m thf matter"
 Such is the news that the latest Lon don mail has brought here.
 Consuelo Duches sef Manchester IS tne dowager duchess, the mother of the pres ent young Duke of Manchester, who mar ried Miss Zimmerman of Cincinnati. The Dowager Duchess of Manchester was Miss Consuelo Yznaga, who was mar ried to Lord Vaudeville. afterward Duke of Manchester. Consuelo Vanderbilt, now the Duchess of Marlborough was named after Consuelo Yznaga.
 The Dowager Duchess was at Carlsbad lately, and. it seems, saw patients whom both the waters and the Christian Scien- lists failed to cure-if, indeed. the Carls- bad Christian Scientists permit their patients to take the waters. It IS news that Her Grace intends to visit America and the news forearms Mrs. Eddy and her followers. Through the Vanderbilt influence the Duchess might interest Senator Depew in her attack on Chris tion Science. But Senator Depew is rather preoccupied just now.
