LEwELLINe INTERVIEWED.
Talks on the Subject of the Hutchinson
appointment.


appointment.
The Wichita Beacon of last evening
contains the following:
Governor, 1 see by the TOPEKA Jour-
NAL that you are about to be appointed
superintendent of the reform school at
Hutchinson. Are yon a candidate for
the placer" said a Beacon reporter to ex-
Gov Lewelling this morning.
81 am not a candidate for anything,
and my am bition is very limited. l have
never spoken to a man on the subject of
the reformatory, nor had the slightest
information that my name was being
considered in relation thereto until yes
terday. I received a telegram from
friend in El Dorado asking for an inter
view. l wired him to meet me at Angus
ia. a small fishing party in which 1
was included, was to pass through that
town yesterday.
81 met the gentleman in question and
was informed that the appointment of
superintendent of the Hutchinson
EEeformatory probably lay between
Mr.. Hatch and myself. He also
said some of my friends had gone
was news to me.
''Returning home last evening found
telegram from Hutchinson urging me
to come there without delay.
"This, however, was not from any
member of the board I did not and do
not now desire to become candidate for
the place. The board undoubtedly has
some knowledge of my qualifications and
if [ am wanted, they know where to find
me-"
"Would you accept the place if you
were elected by the board?" was asked
by the reporter
"That would depend. Having given a
good deal of study to penology and kim
dred subjects the work would be in line
with my tastes, and if the position should
be rendered me, free from any EN- barrass-
ing relations, I might accept"
'What have you to fear in the way of
embarrassing reiations?" was asked.
well, in the first place I should want
each member of the board entirely salts
fed with my selection, SO l could have
his full and hearty cooperation should
like their action to have the approval of
| the governor.
''Aftsr all, l have no intimation what
ever from any authentic source that l am
| likely TO be chosen for the place"

HOW THE IGNORANT WERE ENLIGHTENED
There were men who know all about yachts
and yachting. who could give onhand the his
tory Of every race since the Americas Cup was
first won forty odd years ago. and there were
those who did not know splnnakcr from
centreboard. but who were equally anxious tha'
n good record should be made. and one that
would take the wind out OF the sails OF foreign
aspirants FOR yachting honors.
1t was about IL o'clock when one OF the smart
ones said 10 his less we-informed companioh
There they are see?' Everybody looked. and
no favorite actress popular pet. was ever
greeted with more hearty words OF approval
See" he added 'the with the tiny flag
on top? Well. that Is not the Defender Inc
other one which rides the water more erect ana
with her mast bit higher yes. a great bit higher
than anything near her-thats the Defender.
Every eye was strained. every glass was levied
at the two immaculate sisters as they rode
gracefully under the light wind waiting for the
preparatory signal. few minutes later series
OF tiny flags was displayed on one OF the Official
boats and the prompter came to the rescue OF
the unntiatcd by saying: See those flags?
Well they mean that the course to-day Will be
south southeast. or course No. I. according to
your card which says: From the starting line
TO and around a mark fifteen miles to wndward
or to leeward and return And you must know"
he added, that this Is the same course over
with the international race Of 1893 was sailed
when the V.gilant-isn't she a beauty?-beat the
Englishman Get your bearings. girls because
the final contests with the Valkyrie Will be
sailed over the same course"
At 1l:2O a gun was fired and red ball was
hosted to tell the yachtsmen to make ready.
aud ten minutes later. at the firing of second
gun, they started on their chase for the first
laurels OF the yachting season OF '95.
DEFENDER IN THE LEAD AT THE START.
The Defender got trne the best OF 1t in the
start, and when one Of the know-nothings said
It was too bad the knowing one said: What is
twenty seconds? That Is all the lead she had
and. under these conditions. that's splendid
start"
And that settled II.
Although the two racers were headed In almost
opposite directions at the start. It was only few
minutes before they came In line and ploughed
away meek and neck" one Of the racecourse
sailors said with a fleet Of yachts In their wake
watching every movement For a little while the
condescending prompter had time to point out
the various yachts which were In sight. and to
speak OF their good qualities. Among these were
the susquehanna. sultana. Halcyon. Emeline.
Embler. Peerless. Oneida. Washita. Vamoose and
