Guiteau'. InsanIfy Doaee.


Guiteau is smart villain. So long as tha
President was improving, he was perfectly sane.
but by some means, the other day, he learned
that the President was worse and would prob
ably die, and he began to act mp in an insane
but most villainous way. .McGil, one Of a.
guards, observed his curious astions, and
entered his cell. "What have ,yop thre III
asked McGin Nothing, nothing, NJ. s<a.s
reply. McGll saw that he was concealing a
large knife in his sleeve and ordered him to
drop it, whereupon Guiteau rushed at him and
made slash at him with the knife, cutting the
guards coat across the shoulder and cutting of
button. McGill drew his revolver, and Gui-
teau crying out "Don't shoot me-" dropped
his knife and the two closed in scufie. Dur
ing the scuffie the weapon was accidentally dis
charged but without doing any damage. The
noise brought other guards to the rescue and
upon their appearance, Guiteau whiningly said,
"He won't give me my pistol" The knife
which Guiteau had was made from the steel
shank of shoe, and is technically known in
jail parlance as I" "cheeser." 1t is five or six
inches long, ground down to good edge, and
has paper and twine wrapped around one end
for handle.

Another Crank.


A woman applied at the White House, Wash
ington, a few days ago, to see the President,
saying that she had come to cure him. She
was taken in custody by the officer, who hailed
a cab and started with her to the police station.
On the way she declared that she was not q
woman, but man, and promptly removed her
dress, displaying handsome ladies' blue fan
mel bathing suit She wore elegant slippers
and embroidered silk stockings, and on her
plump, bare arms was displayed coral bracelets.
She was aged about twenty-five years, and a
trdgediernie in her manner of conversation.
At the police headquarters she entertained the
crowd in highly dramatic style, and with her
jaunty suit did not make an unprepossessing
appearance. Under the impression that she
was soon to be taken into the presence of the
President she revealed her name, stated she
was married, and gave the address.of her hus.
band, who is a fireman in New York. He was
notified of the affair, and telegraphed the au-
thorities to detain her until his arrival. It
appears that she was at Manhattan Beach
and while bathing, she says she saw written tn
the sand that if she did not go to the Presidein
at once he would die. The writing directed
her to transfer one drop of blood from her
right arm to his body. Without removing her
bathing suit, she hastily donned her clothes
and started for Washington.

Col. CoRKHILL took occasion this morn

he places tho entire responsibility for tho

produce the proofs. Having thus satisfhc.

So far as advised, we know that Mac
Veagh has preserved nothing beycnd his
own imbccility. The fort he holds is evac-

course has been reprimandcd by the Presi-
dent and sat down on by the public, and he
is welcome to all the glory he can reap
from these facts.

TOMORROW elections will be held in the
three important States of New York, Penn.
sylvania and Virginia. The combinations
in the case render it more than likely
that the first two mentioned win
go Democratic. but tho contest In vir-

claim the Governorship, and conccde that
the Legislature Is in doubt. THE CRITIC

ONE OF OUR frst-class copper-rivetcd
Republican exchanges states that T" Com
missioner Dudley asks for 100000, 900 to
disburse in pensions for the coming fiscal
year which will begin June 80, 1882. He
estimates that fully 10000 additional claims
will be allowed in that year and that two
thirds of these will carry arrears averaging
about 81 500 in each case. Thus the colos-
sal gouge goes on. Thus are the people
saddlcd with a debt of which perhaps 80
per cent is fraudulent and all which was
created as the price of demagoguery de-
manded by timid congressman"
From good Republican source this ought
to be convincing. No blame is attached to
Col. Dudley. He is simply working under
existing laws and carrying out the will Of
Congress, but the fact remains that a more
uamitigated piece of extmvagance and
demagoguory was never practiced ON peo-
pie. Republics are not quite so ungrateful
rs some folks suppose.
