MR.. RICE AS A SUBSTITUTE

He Used to Teach School Himself
Back in Iowa, and He Filled the
Emergency with an Old Fashioned
Spirit that Was Good to See.

WAR ON RACE TRACKS.
Louisiana Wants Legislation to Pro-
hibit Race Betting.

NEW ORLEANS, La. May "A cam
paign to abolish racing in Louisiana,
backed by some of the most wealthy and
influential residents of the state. will be
launched before the legislature, which
meets at Baton Rouge one week from
next Monday. The attempt will be made
to suppress absolutely every form of bet
ting at or connected with race tracks.
and it is understood that this will result
in the immediate closing of the tracks.
No suggestion of what opposition the
racing interests of this state will make
has yet become public. Those who claim
to be friends of the sport, without finan-
cial interests therein. have proposed a
for the complete closing of the tracks.
The avowed opponents of race-track
gambling in any form include most of the
newspapers of the state and several hum
dred influential citizens. including such
men as Frank T. Howard. the capitalist;
John M. Barker. cotton factor: the Rev.
Beverley Warner. rector of Trinity Epis-
copal Church. whose Thanksgiving day
sermon last fall Is credited with having
started the present movement. and the
Rev. James H. Blenk, Archbishop of New
Orleans.
The states political leaders of both
parties have declared strongly against
race-track gambling. Goy.-elect ]. Y.
Sanders made the dangers of race-track
gambling a feature Of his recent cam
paign. and his message to the legis.a-
ture is awaited with interest. The demo-
cratic state central committee recently
recommended the suppression of the vice
of gambling in all of its forms"

Deal With Opposition.
JUDGE GRAY'S ATTITUDE.
His Friends Believe That He Will
Accept, If Nominated.

Richard ]. Beamish. who is in charge
Of the George Gray bureau in this city
when asked if the Pittsburg interview
credited to Judge Gray. regarding his at.
titude toward the presidential nomina-
ton, would have any effect upon the
presidential movement in the Della
warean's behalf. said:
1.-The statement attributed to Judge
Ora: in Pittsburg has been made by him
severa. times. and is to be taken literally
He is not seeking the nomination and
has neither aided nor encouraged the
activities of those friends who see in him
the foremost exemplar of democracy.
Some time ago 1t became known that
Judge Gray would not be candldate
but that If nominated he would not re-
fuse the call of his party. This stand
is well known to all his supporters. and
the Pittsburg declaration in no way con-
flicts with his past attitude. HIS frlenos
believe they have right to call upon
his services as a democrat, notwithstand-
ing his personal desires i'm the matter.
and every one having knowledge OF the
Judges sound party fealty is absolutely
certain that IL nominated he will accept.
The Delaware convention instructed the
delegates to Denver to vote and work as
a unit for George Gray. and the situa-
ton, so far as his candidacy is concerned,
has not changed since that time.

NOT TO BE PROSECUTED.

LISBON, May 4.-The government has
completed it's investigation into the plot
that led to the assassination last Febru-
airy of King Carlos and the Crown Prince
of Portugal. but it would appear that the

been decided not to bring any prosecu-
tions.
Nevertheless. i'm order to keep up ap-
pearances King Manuel, when hes takes
his oath of office. will grant a general
political amnesty. This. however. will
only cover offenses up to January 80; the
assassinations occurred February 1.
Although King Manuel has expressed
his willingness to repay to the treasury
the money advanced to the late King
present condition of finances of the royal
household, has decided to ask parliament
to cancel these debts.
Deal With Opposition.
Dr. Jose de Alpoim, chief of the pro-
gressive dissends, who has been a thol
in the side of the monarchy, is believed

The civil governor of Lisbon has issued
orders that all arms i'm the possession OF
private persons be surrendered immedi-
, ately. After May ) any person having

NEGRO SPEAKS FOR FEAGlN.
Tells What He Has Done To Help the
 CoIored Race.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I feel that I voice the sentiment and desire of the best colored citizens of Bir- mingham when I say that I heartily in dorse an article appearing in the last is- sue of The Age-Herald, written by one MT. Thomas S. Forbes. The boys and girls of my race suffer, unfortunately, from the lack of proper school and home training, and too often the very air they breathe is pregnant with germs of crim- inality.
 The noble womanhood of the race, led by Miss Cornelia Bowen of Waugh, and assisted by a consecrated band of work CTS here, have pressed the work of re- claiming negro waifs until today the re- formatory movement has passed the ex- perimental stage and has come to stay. We do not believe that this grand result could have been accomplished had it not been for the untiring and unselfish sup port of Judge N. B. Feagin, who has stood ready at all times to lend a helping hand and give encouragement; in short he has been the soul of the movement. Through his efforts some of the secret orders among the colored citizens have been made to see the imperative need of this work, and are making regular month"; Iy contributions for the support and main- tenance of this institution.
 No public official deals with larger number of our criminals than does the judge-waifs who are taking their first steps downward--and we believe him con- scientious in the discharge of this dif- 1cult duty, and yet he. with a spirit of fairness, looks to the betterment of the wayward ever mindful of the city's in- terest lest the burden of the unfortunate should fall on the community Judge Feagin's work of reclaiming the Wayward negro boys and girls is far-reaching in it's effect and the steps he has taken to pre- vent them from being chained to old hard ened criminals Is highly appreciated by the law-abiding negroes of Birmingham and the state. We hope for his re-elec- ton. We express ourselves simply to show that the negroes are at all times appre- ciatlve of their good white friends. Very respectfully, k. G. ROBINSON.

 The funeral services were held at the Methodist church which was crowded with the friends of the de- ceased. Rev. B. B. Glasgow, the pas tor. delivered a eulogy that was fervent and touching, paying fine tribute to the splendid Christian character and sterling worth of the deceased. pr. L. F. Whitten. Rev. O. P. Bently and Rev. L. A. Reagor followed, extolling the many virtues of MT. Slye. During the service Abide With Me" was rendered rendered as a solo by Miss McCafferty.
 After the service the procession was formed and proceeded to Oakland ceme- tery where interment was made. The large number of friends who assembled to pay this last tribute of respect to the departed dead, the extremely large number of floral designs, and the many expressions of sorrow and sympathy, were evidences of the high esteem in which the deceased was held by his friends and neigh bors
