Commencement Exercises of the Seventh
District Agricultural School.

Commencement EXERCISES OF the OeVenun
District Agricultural School.
Albertville May 13.-(Special Corre-
spondence.)-The commencement exer-
cises of the Seventh District Agricultural
school opened Sunday, May 8. and closed
Wednesday, May 6. The exercises from
beginning to end were enjoyed by all.
The commencement sermon was deliv-
cred at II o'clock Sunday morning by
Rev. A. p. Burns of Huntsville. Mr..
Burns is a we'll known evangelist of the
Baptist church. The audience was in
spired by his eloquent delivery and mu-
steal flow of language
On Monday evening an entertainment
was given by the primary and interme-
date departments. This programme was
the most successfully executed and most
thoroughly enjoyed of any feature during
the entire commencement. 1t is not sur
prising, however, when 1t was under the
management of so popular teacher as
Miss Morgana Bland.
On Tuesday morning we had very
able address by M. V. Sibert of Gadsden.
BY his rhythmica1 tenor of voice and self
possessed manner he held the audience
spellbound. On this occasion Miss ST.
bert in a very attractive manner, rem
dered the lovely solo, 1.-THE Holy CITY,"
On Tuesday evening an entertainment
was given by the two societies. This en-
tertainment displayed the steady work of
the year. "A medal was awarded to the
best essayist, Miss Mary Sawyer being
the happy recipient. Messrs White and
Booker of Birming ham were with US on
this occasion.
On Wednesday morning the gradual
ing essays were read by Messrs Farrar,
Vann and Hammet and Misses Craft and
McDuff
On Wednesday evening the annual con-
.<4f Ix~ H. IL Al.
took place. This occasion was an enjoy
able one,
The excellent commencement showed
the rapid progress and thorough work of
this splendid school; and we are not sur
pissed when we can boast of a faculty
second to none in the state. We hope
that ere long this institution will be sur
passed by none in the south

WILL POOL ROOMS CLOSE
A Question That Is Attracting
Considerable Attention.
OPINIONS DIFFER WIDELY
The Supreme Court viii Decide the Matter
of Turf Sport for the
Summer.

The decision of Judge Greene in the case
of the mayor and aldermen of Birmng-
ham vs. Thomas G. Hewlett ct al. for
pool selling on races run outside of the
state has resulted in the reopening of
the pool room in the billiard hall of the
Florence hotel The place has once more
assumed the busy appearance noticed
before the spring races caused suspen-
sion, and lovers of the turf sport are
once more enjoying the news of the wire.
City Attorney Evans was yesterday APP
preached on the subject of the probable
result of the case, but declined to say
anything for publication on the subject.
The present status of the matter seems
to depend on the decision of the SUI
preme court in case appealed from the
city court of Montgomery 1t is thought
this decision will be rendered al some
time in the near future, which will de-
eide the selling of race pools in Alabama
on races run outside of the state.
The legal opinion as to what the SUI
preme court Will decide in the matter
seems to differ. Prominent attorneys say
that the present statute regulating the
sale Of pools will be declared unconstitu-
tional, while others are of the opinion
that the decision will support such
statute. The Birmingham case against
Hewlett ct al. was appealed from the
inferior criminal court to Judge Greene'S
court, which settles the matter for this
city under the ordinance now regulating
race pools in Birmingham. In case of
new ordinance the sale of such pools
would simply be prohibited within the
corporate limits.
Mr.. Hewlett was approached on the
subject last night, and stated that he is
acting as agent for Fred Hawkins of
New Orleans. 1T has not been my pur-
pose nor will il be in the future, to Vio-
late any city or state law, said Mr.. Hew-
let. These pools are sold on commits
sion, and are not placed by me direct l
think the authorities fully understand my
attitude, and if the supreme court de-
cides against us ] will hands Off with
out a complaint
Mr.. Hewlett seems confident that the
pool room is a fixture, as he is under the
impression that up to this time he has
violated no law and that the supreme
court will view the statute as Judge
Greene did the city ordinance. 1t is
claimed that the ordinance contained the
substance of the state statute, the only
difference being in the caption of the lat
ter
This is a. case in which all the lovers of
the turf in Alabama are interested, and
is therefore, attracting considerable at
tention. The decision of the supreme
court will be the source of much inter-
est as 1t will either make or destroy the
prospects of summer pastime for the
boys who play the flyers.
The interest taken in the pool room at
the Florence hotel from 2 to O'Clock in
the afternoon proves that the spring races
here did not in the least cause the ardor
of the talent to abate. The Windsor,
Canada, races are bulletined since the
reopening of the place, a ndmany of the
best horses of the continent are now on

MAJoa|NcKINlEY
Will Consult With Party Leaders
On Plans for Legislation.


Canton, Ohio. Nov. 18.-Taking adj
vantage of the delightful weather.
Major and Mrs. Mckinley went for q
drive, this morning. They were ac-
companied by Gen. ]. z. Howe Of Ken
ton. Ohio, who was adjutant general
during Major McKinley's term as gov
ernor of Ohio. and Mrs. H. o. Heis-
tand. Before returning to the Nc
Kinley residence the party called at
the home of Major McKinley's mother.
Not since the nomination for the
Presidency has Major Mckinley had
as much time ne could call his own as
today. There were few callers. and
they occupied only small portion Of
the time. The great mass OF CORES
pondence daily delivered at the Nc
Kinley residence, today, was reduced
to not more than 200 letters.
In the afternoon, the President-elect
and Mrs. Mckinley drove to the home
of the latter's aunt, Mrs. Maria Sax
ton, in West Canton. They returned
just before shutdown. feeling much
refreshed. Mrs. Mckinley is rapidly
regaining her health.
Major Mckinley said, this morning.
that there was absolutely no truth in
the story telegraphed from Syracuse
that he had requested Congressman
Boutelle to return to Canton for fur
Their conference. He said he expected
Mr. Boutelle was very near his home
in Bangor at this time.
One OF the results of the two hours
talk between Major Mckinley and Mr..
Hanna, yesterday, wifi be that some
prominent Republicans will. within q
few days, receive verbal or written
messages inviting them to come tot
Canton and confer on plans for legis-
lation.
Mr.. Hanna has been duly impressed
by the feeling in business circles in the
East against an extra session Of Con-
gress. yet he has not been able to get
satisfactory evidence that the Dingley
bill can be passed. Major Mckinley.
latterly. has also been oppressed with
the feeling, but he gives Mr.. Hanna no
authority to say there will be no extra
session. -
He is determined to have more rev.
enue at the beginning of his adminis-
tration. and. If it cannot be had at the
short session, he will call long one.
Thesupporters of the incoming admin
istration will be expected to set their
faces against Secretary Carlisle's ex-
pected recommendation to raise more
revenue by taxes on tea and coffee and
by increasing the tax on beer.
The proposal to tax tea and coffee
raises alarm. and the disapprobation
is emphatic enough for all Republi-
cans to understand.
The hint of Secretary Carlisles in
tention to recommend tea and coffee
taxes is taken here to mean that no
amended Dingley bill would secure
President Cleveland's signature unless
it covered these articles of consump-
ton. This practically makes the pros
pective bill of Dingley hopeless and
brings the extra session into full view.

BOWDOlN's NEW CAPTAIN.
VIM. W. Spear Of RoctIand, to Captain Fool
Ball Eleven for 1897.

Brunswick, Nov. S.-(SpeciaD.-At a
meeting of the Varsity foot ball eleven,
held. today. William w. Spear of Rock
land, was elected captain for the sea-
son of 1897. The choice is a happy one,
for Mr.. Spear is thoroughly acquainted
with the game of foot ball, and is be-
yond question the best guard in the
State of Maine. All feel that by his
hard and conscientious work he has
earned the undisputed right to captain
the team which will represent Bowdoin
another season. The Varsity will lose
but three players by graduation next
June, and to be selected captain from
among the large number of brilliant
players which remain is an especial
honor
Mr. Spear was born at Rockland. Me-,
Aug. 5, 1875. He fitted for college at the
Rockland high school, and PLAYED for
some years on the foot ball team of
that institution. He entered college in
the fall of '94, and played guard on
the Varsity for the first of the fall. but
was soon compelled. owing to objec-
tons on the part of his parents to re-
tire from foot ball for the remainder
of that season. During the first half
of his sophomore year he filled the po-
ition of tackle, but later in the fall he
was moved to the center in order to
strengthen that position which had
proved weak in the first game with
Colby This year he has played guard
in a majority of the games. and his
strong and brilliant playing has helped
win many victory for Bowdoin.
Mr. Spear has distinguished himself
in other branches of athletics as well,
and his star work in the annual Bow
doin athletic exhibition never fails to
be taking feature He is a member
If the class of '9S. and his fraternity is
Psi Epsilon. Mr.. Spears genial dispo-
sition has made him not only one of the
most popular men in his class. but also
q general favorite among all the stu
dents in college. All feel that the duties
of foot ball captain rest in most eff
