ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

1t is with sadness that we chroni-
Gle the death of John Robinson. a
yonngs man highly respected and
loved by the whole community. He
was the Oldest son of MIR. and Mrs.
William Robinson, of this place,
aud had been working in Baltimore
about four years. Mr.. Robinson came
down to his home on the 3Ist of
August for his vacation. He was
SICK when ne came home and gradu-
ally grew worse. His parents car
RED him to Baltimore to the Johns
Hopkins Hospital. where an opera
tlon was performed on Tuesday last.
AT first his condition was favorable.
but 10 short while he grew rapidly
worse, and died on Tuesday night.
his remains were brought down
on the steamer Saturday morning
and funeral services were conducted
at o'clock on Sunday afternoon by
Rev. j. w. S. Robins. His bereaved
mother and father have the deepest
sympathy of the entire neighbor-
hood. While the All-wise God saw
hit to deprive them of their treasure
on this earth, they have every rea-
son to believe that they can be
united in the world to come.
Miss Lena Neal, one of our at.
tractlye young ladies, left on Thurs

THE LIVING AND THE DEAD.

Not only America but the whole
world was shocked at the death of
President Mckinley, led to believe,
as all had been, that he would re-
cover from the effects of the assas-
sins bullet. Every State in the
nation has shown unfeigned sorrow
at this national calamity, and every
true citizens heart reyolts at the
heinous and cowardly crime and
beats with indignation against that
class which recognizes no law and
no authority.
The outbreak of the Spanish war
demonstrated that we were again a
truly united country. The South
showed realier response to the call
to arms than did any section.

THE Democratic members of the
Constitutional Convention had better
get together in conference, as urged
by the Dispatch, and fix the suf-
frage business. By-and-by it will
be too Iate-for the good of the
ticket and for the salvation of the
members of the Convention.

HEATHSVILLE.

Things are quiet and people have
forgotten almost their daily habits
SO heart-stricken are they over the
death of our honored President
Though our community is far from
being a Republican one, still
there was something in the person.
atty of President Mckinley that
commanded our respect, reverence
and love. The major portion of our
people nod their heads when the new
President is mentioned, though all
seem agreeably surprised to learn
that he has announced that there'll
be no change in cabinet or policies.
In other words, all agree Mr.. Roose-
welt IS making an excellent start,
and feel they are better able to trust
him for the future.
A large portion of our voters are
not very well pleased over the way
politics took their course here on
court-day last, and that another gen.
tleman will be in the field seems to
become more evident as 4 the DAYS
come and go. A gentleman in Fair
fields, it is learned, is being urged to
announce his candidacy, and is
being pledged the support of some
of our best Democrats. This gen.
tleman (whose name for the present
will not be mentioned by this scribe)
will doubtless receive the greater
portion of this county's votes, not
withstanding the "few" declared
the county to favor q. q. Baker.
1t is also learned the Republicans
will have man in the fleid. but it is
presumed this will come to pass only
when it is learned the Democratic
nominee has no opposition. But
these are rumors, yet they seem to
Ind welcome lodgment in the ears
of many of our citizens.

A HIGH.HANDED ACT.

On our local page will be foun d
proceedings of meeting of the up
county portion of the Demo-
cratic Committee. Without dis
cussing the question as to the
meetings. having been irregularly
called, and without raising OBJ
lection to selection of chair
man and precinct organization,
the coterie of committeeman stand
in a unique position. They have
called for new election of dele
gates to the joint Legislative Con-
vention with Richmond county. Not
now will we discuss even this-any
more than to raise few questions
for these fair-mindedC) gentlemen
to ponder over-for the indignation
which arises at such high-handed
proceedings might cause us to go
beyond temperate words. The DEM
ocratic plan of organization calls for
the election of new county commit
tee at the same time that House dele
gates are chosen. Will these gentle
men elect a new committee at the
time they will attempt to elect this
contesting delegation If not, why
nots
Ii 10 proper delegates were chosen
at August court then the new COM
mittee was not regularly chosen.
Are these gentlemen, then, not hav-
ing been members of the old commit
tee, the proper ones to call for cleo
ton of delegates or committee?
Do they (these committeeman hold
their positions by regularity? If
so, are not the delegates who were
chosen at the same time the regular
delegates?
Can they repudiate the call and
the regular meeting so far only as
delegates are concerned?
The audacious action taken on
Tuesday and the evident effort to
prolong a mean and disagreeable
fight lies at the door Of these Lewis
people, and it is unnecessary to say
that it will not be countenanced by
the straight-out Democrats of this
county. The delegates chosen were
regularly so, and the avowed pur-
pose of these people is to carry up On
abortive contest to Richmond county.
Having won the delegates and lost
a majority of the county committee
because of the unevenly divided dis
tricts) the majority element in this
county refrained from kicking over
the new committee because they
wanted peace in the factions. The
minority element captured ma
jority of the committee chow, our
people well know, and now their
rapacity leads them to attempt to
usnrp rights and privileges which
do not belong to them and which
will open wider the breach here.
The only objection offered at the
August mass-meeting in choosing
delegates was that the Norfolk
Convention had declared they should
be chosen by primaries. Mr..
Downing, their spokesman, said
then that if the State Committee
declared we were not yet bound by
primaries he and his friends would
acquiesce IN the action of the
meeting. Last week the State Com
mittee decided that primaries should
not go into effect till next year. |
Then where is the ground for OBJ
jecting now They should stand to |
their word.

STATE BOARD OF CHARITIES.

The annual reports of the state board of charities for 1899 and 1900 have heen issued as Public Doc,l- ment, No 2S. of the State of Conncc- ticut.' Much Of tiie more interesting matter from these reports has been printed. fully CT in part. The perma- ncnt value Of inc reports lies ill their records of facts as to the condition of institutions, their statistical tables, and their suggestions of all which the last may well happen to be most inn portant, quite as much when it is in- direct--as is much in this volume as when it is direct.
 Attention should be called to six specific recommendations for Iegisla- tive action that are made by tho board. These are an inderterminate sentence law, prohibition of commitment of boys under ten years of age to the Connecticut school for boys, except on conviction of felony, a Reformatory for women, control of jails by Q state commission of prisons, separate place for the treatment of epileptics, and authorization of district aims houses. As to the majority of these there is agreement by almost all stu dents of the subject, and it is to be hoped that all will be kept before the public until action on them is obtain ed. They should not be forgotten be cause they have been ignored or re jected for temporary reasons or for mere indifference.

is difficult to display, but Miss Cross had no trouble apparently Pawn, the Indian girl friend Of Post Kennion, by Miss Jennie A. Freney, was not an easy part, but it was well taken care of. Orderly Glynn, by Michael Peters, Andy Barton, the scout, by Robert +. Robinson, John Landru, by Walter F. Costello, were the embodiment of their respective parts. Silent Tongue, by George E. Bowling, Fell an OK, by Al fred Wolff, were given considerable ap- plause. Lucy Hawkesworth, by Miss Louise M. Donahue met the require ments of her part. the sweetheart ot Jones.
 The piece was very well staged. Only one acquainted with men could make so effective display with the material he had. The barricade scene in the third act was beautiful, the i'm. pending elimination of the defense of the post very well acted by the re spective characters on the stage al that sensational moment. The inter view with Silent Tongue over the bar ricade was very effective and the offer of Kate to be put to death by her father, the general held the house in awe. This is the most stirring scene in the whole play and the manager, Sergeant Thomas F. Lawlor, made all that could possibly be made of it. The entrance of the Fighting Twelfth to the rescue, with HawlSesworth on horse back, stained and battle scared, was inspiring. The performance was directed by Thomas M Freney; that Is why it was so we'll done ( The proper ties were cared for by Peter Gagain and John Savers, John J. Fitzgerald took care of the stage, and the bugle calls were blown by Oscar Hansen. The scenery for the production was built by Stage Manager Fitzgerald.
