Will be succeeded by Rev. Walter
Vreeland, of this city, Methodist
minister who is brother OF Graham
Vreeand, managing editor of the
Courier-Journal. 1t has been rumor-
ed since the last session of the Leg
,islature that DR.. Severance would be
succeeded by Rev vreeland. but the
general impression prevailed that
the prison Commission would permit
Dr. Severance to serve out his term
inasmuch as he has established him
self here with his family, consisting
OF his wife and several little children
1t has been given out that DR.. Sever
ance would resign but that is not
the case, for DR.. Severance says
that he has had no intention CT re-
signing. As spiritual advisor those
who are familiar with that part of
the prison life say that DR.. Severance
has been one OF the most successful
men ever to occupy the post at
the prison. The good discipline
maintained at the prison is said to
he in 4 large measure due to the
faithful and attentive work Of Or.
Severance He has the reputation
of having converted as many men
who were in the prison as any 9th
er chaplain ever to occupy the post.
and he is the man who started the
night school among the convicts that
enabled many OF them to learn u
read and write so that they viii
be able to improve their minds and
their spiritual being while convicts
This night school was not a part OF
the regular work OF the chaplain, but
was carried on last winter by DR..
Severance simply because he was SO
enthusiastic about his work and his
desire to do good among the con
yicts. The many friends OF Dr. Sew
erance will regret to hear that he is
going to lose mis- position as chaplain
but the convicts will be the great
est losers. .---'t-~. 9tssrsss 4. s.
