Gufteau,s Mental Oondition-Medical
 Testimony in Favor of Insanity.
 CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-Dr. J. G. Kiernan, of shis city, was subpoenaed to-day as witness in the Guiteau trial. In an interview the doctor said: fTk ng about the case. I do not know any of the parties pes- sonally. never. met any of them. I SUD- pose was subpenaed to give evidence as an expert in hypothetical case which will be presented by counsel. I think Guiteau is laboring under state of partial insanity called monomania, in which disease there are few mental manifestations and one of impulse to the world around. Persons suffering from this form of disease are only partially responsible and it is always difficult to say whether they should be held responsible or not for any particular act. I think when, as in this case, the act was the direct result of 8 particular form of the dis ease they should not. I am one of the edi- tors of the Chicago Medical Re0ieao, which has always taken the ground that Guiteau is ir- responsible and that opinion is supported by the Ohio Medical Journal, St. Louis Clinical Record, Boston Medical Journal, London LGncet and the Journal of Nervous and Me71tGZ Diseases. The disease was first desig- mated in Germany in 1876 and one of many symptoms of it was shown to be the tenden- cy in the subject to fall frequently and vio- lently in love and to imagine that every lady seen was in love with him.''
 J. l.. Hill said he had not been subpoenaed, but he had received a letter from Scoville asking him if he would give evidence here before notary. He said he would have no objection to do so, but he did not know what good it would do. He had never seen Gui- teau.

Entertainments.
THE ROYAL HAND BELL RINGERS.

EThe Royal Hand Bell Ringers, whose pop
 ularity in Europe was unbounded and who
 absolutely could not accommodate all thepeo-
 pie who attended, will give matinee and
 evening performance at Peck's Grand Opera
 House on Saturday All the seats in the
 house, both up stairs and down, are reserved,
 but seats to any part can be had without ex- says as follows ''Last evening delighted audience at Fremont Temple listened to the wonderful programme provided by the lately arrived company of musical artists known as the Royal Hand Bell Ringers and Glee Men. The occasion was the second regular enter tainment in the Bible Union course. As already stated in a previous issue, this wonderful quintet makes use of 131 bells, the largest number manipulated in any one selection be- ing seventy-fve, in the Turkish Patrol March" This production is indeed an artis- tic marvel, and worthy of the incomparable artists that present it. It represents the gradual approach of a band, the loud clash as it passes by and the gradual lessening of the sound as 1t grows fainter and fainter, finally losing itself in the distance. The delusion is perfect, and the celerity and accuracy with which the ringers handle their bells is almost incredible. It is very difficult piece never having before been attempted with bells, and of the finest effects when rendered as the quintet alone can present it. The whole evenings programme was series of delight full surprises, and an opening up of the mu- sical possibilities with bells in the hands of experts. The chords struck showed the pera feet tuning of the bells, and the mellow, rich and strong tones which they produce. Inter- spersed with the other features of the pro- gramme was the singing, which proved most acceptable, as the frequent applause testified. MT. Duncan S. Miller, conductor, fully sus- tained his reputation for apt and pithy say ings, which he has won in the mother coun- try. The entertainment proved success in every way and the triumph of the ringers in America is assured"
