sUpT. A1NswoRTH REMOVED

superintendent of tho Reform School
Must Mako Room for . Popuiist.
If there is one man at the head of
state institution who ought to remain
undisturbed in his official capacity that
man is Col. G. W. Ainsworth, who has
been the superintendent of the reform
school at Plankinton since its founda-
ton. But he has been removed from
his position solely to make room for
friend of Gov. Lee.
The state board of charities and cor
reotions was, in session at the reform
school Thursday and Friday passed
through the city enroute to Yankton.
In conversation with member of the
board it was learned that Col. Aims
worth was removed from the superin-
tendency of the school and ex-Railroad
Commissioner Tompkins was appointed
to the position. The change in officers
will take place on July /, when, the
board claims, Supt. Ainsworth's time
expires. When asked on what grounds
the superintendent was removed the
reply was that there was nothing per.
sonal in it, and in the conversation
there was nothing intimated that there
was anything to be charged to hit
official conduct. The member stated
that it was the idea Of the board OF

THE BACHELOR CLUBS DANCE.

A Wealth of Enjoyment Was the Re-
suit of Their Dancing Party.
The Bachelor club has contributed
much to the enjoyment of society peo-
pie during the winter, having arranged
three parties, each being marked sue
cess. The last of the series was given
at The Mitchell Friday evening and
the young gentlemen expended energy
and good taste in decoration with the
result that all the combined features
made the evening q distinguished
success. In the east end of the spacious
dining room was arranged large bank
of palms and ferns, near which was
placed a large bowl of lemonade to re-
fresh the dancers during the evening.
The decorations were artistlcally ar
ranged, and the soft glow cast by the
electric lights, covered with red tissue
paper, shown on q scene resplendent
with handsome costumes and faces tina,
reflected the pleasures Of the occasion
The bachlors appeared in semi-negligee
costumes-white trousers and dark
coats.
The grand march, led by Mr.. b. P
Beckwith and Miss Dell Wedehase
was the opening number of the program
and was followed by series OF dance
which took long after midnight tt
finish. The Rathbun orchestra fur
nished the music and the dancers wer'
generous in their praise of the artistic
rendition of the dance selections, Th'
orchestra played the "First South Oak
ota Regiment March for one of th'
two-step numbers and it was greete.
with great applause. The piece wa
composed by Bandmaster Franl
Halstead, OF the South Dakota regi

Bennett and Rathbun.
During the dance program dainty re
freshments we're served in an adjoin
ing room under the direction of Land
lord Johnston, and was pleasant d
version from the other pleasures.
This closes the series OF parties al

LARGE GRADUATING CLASS
THE BREHANY CONCERT.

The Members of the Company and the
Audience Were In Close Sympathy.
All that was anticipated in the way
of music by the Louise Brehany Con-
cert Co. was fully realiz d when the
company appeared at tne Grand opera
house Thursday evening, an audience
of fair proportions, and decidedly ap-
preciative of the company's meritorious
work, being present. There was no
part of the program that was more en-
joyable than the piano soloist, Sauvlet,
aud his work as an accompanied. he
is m AZ long past the age of SO, but
retains the musical vigor and talent
of performer half his age. 1t was
beyond compare to watch Sauvlet in
his performance in whatever capacity.
His solo selections were such as to de-
termine much of bis ability as pianist
and it is not overdrawing the situation
nor disparaging to anyone to say that
Sauvlets playing far surpassed any
pianist who has visited Mitchell. Miss
Brehany was immensely popular and
as soon as she appeared and sang there
was general reluctance to let her go.
Endowed with q voice of great power
and beauty, wide in range and faultless
in tone and handling there is little
wonder that she captivates her hearers.
She sings those ballads with charm.

Interpretation that only adds to her
success. Miss Waters, the mezzo, is
not to be lost sight of for she fully sus'
tanned her good reputation in her sole
work and was particularly attractive ir

her voice to good advantage and show
ing dramatic ability. Miss Pringle

concert closed with the second act Q
Martha and the four voices mad

Brehany sang the part of Martha an
she did the character cleverly. MI
Dethlefs made an excellent Plunke,
and the full quality OF his voice WAS az

MITCHELL TALENT IN ST. PAUL.

Two Former Mitchell Ladies' Make Their
Appearance In Kirmess at st. Paul.
The Kirmess was given at the Metro
politan in St. Paul last Thursday even
ing and two OF the important characters
were taken by Mrs. ]. D. Lawler and
Miss Celeste Cog hlan, formerly of this
city. Mrs. Lawler, whose beauty and
grace we'll fitted her for the part, WAS
queen of the Kirmess, the ST. Pau
Dispatch making this reference
Mrs. Lawler:
The festival opened with the appear
ance of q group OF courtiers and cou-
ladies, in powdered wigs, heavy satins,
stiff brocades and silver buckles, escort
ing to her place on the throne the
Kirmess ueen, impersonated by Mrs,
j. D. Lswler. The queen was as regal
ss possible, and was more glitteringly
gowned, more stately and . little more
graceful than anybody else. She
| joined the others in minuet, which
was performed with all due grace and
picturesque posing. The dance had
many movements, some OF them new,
seemingly, and original.
Miss Coghlan impersonated the
Goddess OF Liberty and 80 thoroughly
did she do her work that the Dispatch
gave her this merited complimentary
mention:
The Goddess of Liberty, imperson-
sted by Miss Celeste Ccghlan, then
descended from her throne, uncon-
sciously, rs if she could not resist the
strains OF THE Star Spangled Banner -
played by the orchestra. Taking her
place in the center of the stage, she
sang the melody. Miss Coghlan' g
rendition was worthy climax to the
whole. She seemed inspired with 9
spirit of patriotism and sang with great
expression. Her voice is magnificent,
and it was never heard to better ad-
vantage than in this beautiful national
song.
: The Kirmess was given by the
r wealthy society people OF St. Paul and
: the Dispatch says sit could not help
!. being SO with one hundred and fifty
J members of the most cultured, refined
and wealthy families in tho city taking
: part"

going there to provide for two officers
"a superintendent and overseer, the
latter to have supervision outside of
the building, but this proved impracti-
cal and to do what they we're bidden
the board removed Mr.. Ainsworth as
the shortest way out of the matter.
The law covering the removal OF the
superintendent of this institution, if We
understand it correctly, is to the effect
that this official cannot be removed
except for cause. With the law plainly
on his side we understand that Col.
Ainsworth will very properly carry the
matter into the courts for decision
before he gives up his position merely
to satisfy wkim OF the governor and
to make room for the appointment of
q populist politician. If the law did
not provide against such removal or if
charges of misconduct of official duties
could be preferred against the colonel
than there might be some excuse for
the act.
The Argus-Leader published an item
Thursday that in case change was
made in the superintendent of the
Yankton asylum that DR.. r. G. Warne
now in the Philippines with the South
Dakota regiment, would be given the
place. MIR. Kingsbury, of the board
said there was no Likelihood of DR.
Warne being appointed as he had ir
no way intimated that he desired the
appointment.

To assumethat the American people
would shatter an idol like Dewey, even
admitting that he had committed an err
ror in lavish devotion to his bride, is to
assume that the most intelligent peo-
pie of the world are as mercurial and
fitful as the hired mobs of decaying
Greece and Rome.
1t would have been better IL he had
permitted the title of the house given
him to remain as the contributors made
1t, but all the world loves lover, and
the hero Of Manila, who wouldn't blanch
before the shotted guns of the enemy,
like all heroes OF the past becomes a
willing captor to woman's love. Judg-
ing his action by the severest standard,
he can be criticised only for the high
est devotion to bride who Is admitted
ly in every way worthy Of her hero hus-
band.
1t will grieve the intelligence and pa
triotic people of the country generally
to see Admiral Dewey convulsed with
apprehension that he is 90 longer the
hero Of the American people, because

ADMIRAL DEWEY
Don't Want Presidency and De-
clares Mckinley De-
serves it.

[News-Democrat Leased Wire Service.]
Washington, Nov. 2S.-Admiral
Dewey declares himself emphatically
today upon being questioned about his
presidential boom. He declared that he
was not a candidate and wanted to see
Mckinley president another term. THE
president is a good friend of mine" said
he today, as he left the White House
where he had been to see the presi-
dent on a private matter. II do not
want to see anyone try to rob him of
the place. 1 shall never forget the
noble cheering messages he sent me
when / was at Manila" "No, no." he
exclaimed, II have no presidential
boom. These so-called heroes of bat
tie make poor presidents. Look at poor
old Taylor, and Grant, too, think
made a poor president The president
ought to be a trained statesman.
am pleased to see the war in the Philip
pines dwindling. The same vigorous
measures year ago would have put
the rebellion down at that time"
Regarding the question as to what to
do with Aguinaldo if caught, Dewey
says that he would probably be allowed
to live out his days in peace, as jeff
Davis was, though, perhaps, he said,
the rebel ought to be hanged.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1899-12-01

a very few of the tens of thousands
who contributed to his home, and who
may not even be contributors in fact,
have rushed into print to criticise him,
and because the yellow journalism Of
the country has attempted to make a
national sensation out Of 1t. with breach
Of promise scandals invented to graf
ify the prurient appetite. He could
safely have passed 1t in silence and not
permitted the world to know how q
brave mans heart can be torn by the
efforts of jealous hatreds and mean
scandalmongers.
Admiral Dewey's position as the great
hero of the Spanish war is safely crys-
| tallized in the history of the republic,
and all the malice of disappointment
and jealousy and all the sensational
ebullitions of fools cannot cast shad-
ow upon his fame. His honest life is his
own, and It has not exhibited a single
attribute that was not inspired by de-
votion that every honest man and every
honest woman is ready to reverence.
Let the Dewey episode be closed, and
let It pass, as soon it must, into for
| getfulness, while the love and homage
of the nation for Admiral Dewey will
be imperishable.
