they have predicted something OF the kind. In

ours:
This being nocturnal birth, and the moon

The Popular Sympathy.
The eeep sympathy Of the people for the SUI
ferer at the White House found expression In a
hundred ways. The future historian who
writes deliberately nd dispasslonately, cannot
omit refereI ce to the multitude that pressed
about the gates Ct the White House all day and
all night. 1t was no morbid or sensation loving
curiosity that prompted them. Every bit OF
news that was brought to the gates
was eagerly received. II it announced
favorable change, one could hear on
every hand fervent utterances OF thanks
Men and women, of all conditions, from the
highest to the lowest, crowded upon the lines
marked by the soldier, who strobe silently be-
fore the gate. There was no disorder. None
attempted to dispute the authority OF the gate
keepers. All seemed oppressed with great
sorrow, and II one spoke In high key, a dozen
faces were turned towards him deprecatingly.
1t seemed time for talking low. Men neglected
their business to cling to the iron ratings 10
front Of the White House, and watch
every movement that could be observed from
that point Workmen, hatleSs and coatleSs
who had left their shops, mingled among
fashfonably dressed women. A common grief
leveled all social distinctions. Long after mid
night the streets were well filled with peorle
and the nocturnal silence was broken by TIE
shouts OF newsboys. A crowd fingered ABOUT
the White House gates all night. This morn
Ing it was reinforced by new corners. Every
where Inquiry is made for the latest news, and
there is general feeling OF rejoicing that the
reports are so encouraging.
GUITEAU IN JAIL.
No Visitors Admitted.
Immediately after the arrival OF the prisoner
at The jail verbal order from the Secretary OF
War Was received by Mr.. Benton Russ the
deputy warden Of the jail, directing thst the

queDtly written order was received from the

Several police officers are also on duty at the

Gutteau Afraid of Catching Cold.
On his arrival at the jail Guiteau was directed
to take his shoes Of, it being the custom that
the prisoners should go In bare feet during the
hot weather, to which he demurred saying .'If
go In naked feet over those stone floors I'll
catch my death o'cold." prisoner remarked,
Eyes, you OF a, yOu1l have rope around
your neck id sight sooner than you'll ever
catch cold in bare feet"
Guiteau looked at him scowIing, but made no
reply.
Guiteau Initiates the Presidents
ACTIONS When Shot.

What did the President do when the first shot
was fiIed?"
Guiteau said, 'I1l show you." and throwing
up his right elbow, with his hand hanging
shook his hand, remal king, 'That's the way
he did. But the next one got him. When he
was struck first he sort OF turned and looked
scared"
Guiteau LOWspirited Because the
President is Getting Better.
In few hours after his comm ement he ap-
peared to take 1t somewhat pbilosophically,
having bee n on his first arrival somewhat ex-
cited. He did not lie down TO rest until pretty
late In the night, but In the latter part OF the
night he slept very soundly. Before going to
bed he frequently asked the officers, What Is
the news from the White House?" and they
would reply that the last news they heard
from there was worse or better as the case
might be. To this he would make no response
except wien the answer was "better," he
would put on q respondent look. and when the
answer was "worse" he appeare to smile. He
has made inquiries OF the same character much
more frequently to-day, and the answer gene
rally having been to the effect that the President
was improving, he has been In q rather de-
spondent mood. He took the usual prison food
this morning, ard swept up his cell quite as
well as any Of bis fellow prisoners.
