"P. ST. trust this will reach you in
time"
This letter was written in scrawl-
ing hand and addressed to"C. j. Gui-
teal, care of his attorney" 1t was post
marked at Washington, but had a three
cent stamp or the envelope.
Mr.. Scovllle says: of Guiteau was
not crazy he ought to be hung. The fact
is that it will require ten times as much
proof of insanity in his case than in that
of man who shota q negro in the street.
People say he is not crazy, but they ac-
cep tthe defence of Sergeant Mason that
he is insane without question. think
there is much more proof of Guiteau's
insanity than of Mason's.''
"Another trouble we have to meet
lid the lawyer, "is the jury. 1t will
be hard to find a jury of moral courage
enough to aCquit Guiteau, even if they
believe him insane. For instance, a
man who keeps a grocery store will be
afraid to vote for ac1uittal because he
will think all his customers will con-
dem him. That's the way public opin-
ion acts. 1t does not require much
courage to vote guilty, especially as
public opinion will all favor such q
vote.

\ Talk with Gniteau's \ ,unseI

i BALTIMORE, Oct. ia sTecial des-
patch from Washington to thss.American
says: Mr.. Scoville, the COT sael Of the
assassin Guiteau, is In trougxe with the
receipt of a large mail daily, at he COM
plains that General Butler has not re-
pleo to his request to act as counsel for
his client. He says that Guiteau was
very much frightened when taken to
court for his arraigment. He looked
ba from having his hair cropped; but
few years ago, when he wore his hair
long and dressed well, he made very
respectable appearance. He had a very
winning, genial way, and being of
French extraction, was naturally polite.
He could go into any hotel and secure
a room without any baggage or other
security, or without paying in advance.
And in these things he did not think
he was doing anything wrong. His
moral sense Ia so defective that he
thought it was right. His idea was II
have not the money now, but will have
some next week." He always had
glorious expections OF something that
was going to happen to him-sums Of
money that were coming to him. Mr..
Scoyille has received many letters from
cranks, and among the rest the follow
ing addressed to Guiteau, and dated
Washington:
'Ssr-I want to inform you of yonr
mistake. You have imagined that you

you just before the shooting was done,
and you had fit on you. l stopped to

person after ascertaining ydar name
and signing it to them. You recovered
while the people were shouting and in
quiring who did it. You, awakening
from your crazy tit, got it into your
head that you did it, and the papers
it. The man who chased you
in the excitement mistook the race.
Garfield is dead, and do not wish to
see any more deaths, for it would do no
good. But to vindicated you l will

The Beers.

The Beers are not merely proving
themselves skillful warriors, but
they have also as good a cause as
ever inspired a nation. In 1896
they abandoned the Cape Colony,
which their ancestors had founded,
to its British masters, and settled in
Natal. That province the British
seized in 1912. The Beers crossed
the Drakenberg Mountains and
made another settlement. A British
army followed and defeated them.
Then they crossed the Yaal River,
the most northern frontier that the
British had ever cIdimed. In 1852
the English Government formally
recongnized the independence of the
Transvaal. In 1877 Sir Theophilus
Shepstone, British Commissioner,
sent to investigate the condition OF
that region and to examine into the
relations Of the Beers with the
Zulus, hostilities being threatened
between those tribes and the Beers,
decided to annex the Republic. The
Beers, taken by surprise, Involved in
some domestic dispute, sullenly
allowed the British officials and
karrisons to establish themselves in
the country. But there were con
tinual protests. A petition signed
by a large majority of the inhabi-
tants was sent to the Queen, asking
restoration of their independence.

HoM To Tell Diphtheria.

The prevalence of diphtherla has
created alarmin the minds Of parents
that is not warranted by the facts.
Physicians in private practice as
well as in public employ say that
almost every ailment noticed in a
child is taken for diphtheria, and
that diphtheria treatment is often
hastily administered by anxious
parents In innocent cases Of cold.
There are frequent calls at the Board
Of Health for circular intended for
free distribution, and which contains
instructions as to what should be
done when diphJheria enters a house
hold. An employee of the Board OF
Health says that the most important
part of this circular is its description
of the early symptoms of the disease.
"Give heed" he says in his interpre-
tation Of this part of the circular,
"the moment you observe signs in
your child Of Unwonted weakness,
fatigue, or physical debility, par
ticuIarly if it is accompanied with a
little fever. Make the child fire.
uuently open its mouth, so that you
can observe its throat. 1t is in the
throat that the lay observer will first
discover any certain signs of diph-
liberia. Never mind how red or how
much infamed the throat appears.
That does not indicate the disease.
But the instant you see a white spot
and detect bad odOr, run for doe
tor. The white spot will grow.
Other white spots will appear, and
eventually they will run to-gather
in great bIotches if the disease is not
checked. The time to summon
medical assistance is before these
Spots run together" Prayers were
offered in many Roman Catholic
churches on Friday for protection
agains dipththeria. The person who
desired to guard himself against it
by the efficacy Of religion would
kneel at the feet Of a priest and
hold two lighted candles crossed
against his throat, the flames rising
at the side of his face. While he
was in this position the priest would
offer the prayer. These candles had
been blessed at the feast Of the
publication on the previous day.
Candles were held against the
throats of children by their
parents.-Ne10 York Sun.
