A Medical Man,s OplnIou of Guiteau.

as he was about to take the train for
New York, preparatory TO embarking
for Europe.

day." replied the doctor, land think
his mind is giving way. have thought
all the time he was insane, and think
he is becoming an imbecile under the
strain of the trial. That is the impress
sion he makes upon me, judging from
his appearance, based upon experience
with this kind of people for twenty-five
years. I predict that before the trial is
over he will break down and become an

ga few days before the shooting, l was
at the Riggs house, where had been
stopping for some weeks, when one
morning the colored waiter said to me:
Doctor, look at that man over there. He
has been acting very queer. He has
been eating ever so long. He has asked
for one cup of tea after another till /
think have brought him fourteen, and
now he has changed to coffee, and have
given him four cups. What's the mat
ter with him!' looked at the man; it
was Guiteau, although did not know at
that time who he was. OF course l
watched him few moments and then
told the waiter who was rather excited
about il, that he was insane. His APP
pearance clearly indicated insanity TO

The doctor then proceeded TO criIicise
the form of trial adopted. He thought
that instead of trying the man for muir
der with insanity as defense, the ques-
ton of sanity ought 10 have been settled
first before proper tribunal. He said
any one who knew anything about the
subject would know that an ordinary jury
of men who had never given the subject
study was not competent tribunal to
settle the question. Twelve experts
have been summoned 10 hear the testi-
mOny on the matter of insanity, and to
have made an examination of the pris-
oner in question. Under such circum-
stances an intelligent decision could
have been arrived at. He did not see
how twelve unscientific men could do so
and had little faith in a satisfactory re-
suit at the close of the present trial.

WASHINGTON, Nov 29.-The crowd in

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-It is reported
tonight upon good authority that a hand

pose of taking Guiteau's life ifhe escapes
the legal gallows. There are 100 men
only in the organization, and they have
been picked from the soldiers OF Ohio.
Pennsylvania, New York and the city of
Washington. That such an orgnnixa-
ton exists, and that it consists of deter
mined men whose mission Is to sxengc

doubt. It is understood that no action will
be taken aud no sign be made until the
result of the trial is known. II the Iury

! WandegfuI Business Growth

The history of the widely known
mouse of Joseph Burnett & Co., of
Boston, shows large and flourish
ing industry, which has grown from
small beginnings. The extensive
business of this house, which has
extended to nearly every civilized
country in the world, had it's origin
in what might be called an Incl
dent, or an accident, some thirty
years. age. AT that time Mr.. Joseph
Burnett, the founder Of the house,
was doing a large apOthecary bust
ness on fremont street, opposite the
Boston Museum.
A lady who had lived in France
and become accustomed to French
methods of cookery, came into Mr..
Burnett's store one day and asked
him if he could not make decent
FlavOring Extract for her, as she
found those in common use abom-
Unable. She wanted an extract of
vanilla. This was made, which
pleased the lady very much, and
from this simple beginning has
grown business, one single branch
of which now consumes one-fourth
the entire Mexican product, which
is the only recognized best quality
of Vanilla IN the world. x
