In the Dukes Household

New Yorks great society event this week is the informal visit of their royal highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Connaught and their daughter, the Prin- cess Patricia. as the guests of Embasse te the duchess is Miss Annie Evelyn Pelly, and this is a matter of interest in at least one Birmingham home. Miss Pelly is the daughter of a dear personal friend of Mrs. c. V. Eaves. who is the wife of the pastor of the Congregational church here Mrs. Eaves has in her pos- session a photograph of the Pelly chil- dren. in whose home she enjoyed delight ful intimacy. This group appears on an- other page of The AgeHerald. The larger girl is Miss Annie, now the lady in waiting, when she was about 12 years of age.
 Tn former times a lady in waiting to a royal duchess or princess of England al- ways bore title of nobility, but now untitled ladies of good family are ire ouently chosen. The Duchess of Con naught has two ladies in waiting, one of them being the Hon. Lady Edgerton, but she did not accompany the royal party to New York.
 Miss Pelly is a relative through her mother of John Bright grand niece, in fact, and a descendant by the same strain of the great Elizabeth Fry of the famous quaker family of the Gurneys, eminent in philanthropy and great commercial af- fairs.

Looking Ahead 20 Years

It does not require much imagination to picture Birmingham with 5O0,0o0 inhab- itants % years hence. This city had it's greatest growth in the last half of the past decade. and the splendid showing that was made in the census was a reve- lation even to the most ardent prophets.
 From general indications last year was one of marked growth. Birmingham Is now in full swing. and its rate Of ln- crease will be accelerated during the nresent decade. It is safe to say that when the next government census IS taken this city's population will have reached 25o.ooo, and if the 1880 census does not credit us with 5Oo.oo0, the figures will not be far below that round total. Be fore that time Birmingham will have magnificent civic center, 25 or 30 sky scraper office buildings. and six or eight slsvscraper hotels, half dozen large theatres and an auditorium with a seat ing capacity great enough to aecommo- date national democratic convention.
 There are high school boys here today who may live to see Birmingham with population of 100000. but I will only pre- dict definitely that the majority Of those of us who are here at the present time will see Birmingham cross the 5Oo,ooo llne

Drinking Men More Temperate

A friend of mine who is a man about town says that there is less abuse of liouor here in Birmingham than there was five or six years ago.
 The saloons are much better conducted under the new regime than ever before' and yet it is seldom that one meets business acquaintance in drinking house. Club men, it seems, do most of their drinking at the club and the rich who live in elegant style and who drink keep liauor at home. I am told that condl- tions similar to those that obtain here eX- ist in other wet cities in the south. Tho day of business men tippling freely is past.
 No man who is habtually soaked stands well, no matter how prosperous he may be from a worldly point of view,
 But notwithstanding the changed condi- tions one sees, bars lined up with sturdy men enjoying their beer or something stronger. Those who do drink In public now have trained themselves as rule, to moderation. The United States internal revenue figures show that last year, 1n spite of considerable prohibition terri tory, the volume of liquor sold made a new high record. I cannot understand this It must be that more individuals drink than formerly, while the average of liouor consumed individually must be less. The tendency toward temperance as re- suit of education and environment Is ev- ervwhere remarked.

It IS evident that he expects to see a moderate degree of prosperity this year, and an industrial boom in 19l3
