MR.. SPEAKER TREATS HIM IN A WAY HE
DESPISES.
WASHINGTON, JAN. 24.-The capital
city has been ON broad grin to-day over
Oscar Wilde's antics. A reporter de-
scribed him dressed in gray ulster,
vending his way toward Fifteenth
street. Ranging alongside of the stran-
ger the reporter discovered that he was
standing in the presence of the great
expounder of the English renaissance
Oscar Wilde. The long-limbed as-
thete was attired in a tight-ftting gray
ulster, which blew open occasionally
and disclosed underneath pair of vel
vet knee pants. The upper garment
could not be seen. A pair of black silk
stocking and patent-leather low shoes,
with large black silk bows, were seen
beneath the skirts of the ulster. Round
his neck was wide Byronic collar and
blue bow of the most delicate and
ethereal shade, with long, streaming
ends ''borne on the soft zephyrs of the
morning breeze"
VERY HANDSOME DIAMOND PIN
was worn in the center of the bow. On
the poets noddle reposed harmony"
in the shape of polo cap of pecu-
liar blackish- brownish hue, bound with
pink. A pair of semi-gauntleted, flesh
colored kid gloves and a light, fancy
cane completed the garb. Chow do
you do, Mr.. Wilder said the reporter.
In a languid,, slightly drawing voice,
like a sick calf, he acknowledged the
salutation, and said he was glawd to
meet journalists, especially since his
arrival in this country. "The
newspapers, said Mr.. Wilde. "have
been passing some rather hard criti-
cisms about me, We know, but they
won't do it when they know me bet
ter" this with silly laugh. Eyes" "
replied the reporter, "the press rather
likes to have something to guy but
they don't mean any harm by it"
The time was passed in light converse
until the Arlington was reached, where
Mr.. Wilde entered and told the re-
porter he would be "glawd' to meet
him at breakfast at half-pawst len.
Shortly after noon Mr.. Wilde went to
the capitol and wanted to see Speaker
Keifer. He called at the north door
and asked if he could be admitted to
the floor. The polite messenger told
him he must first send in his card.

lake toa little rustic temple set in the
rugged side of the mountain which

foot of the steps is an aged pilgrim, bare
footed, lame and decrepid, who bears a
staff in one hand, and in the other holds
before his dim eyes small bottle,
whose label he eagerly scans. This
label bears the words ''St. Jacobs Oil

INSIDE Points on Guiteau.

A LADY SPIRITUAL MEDIUM SUMS HIM UP.
WASHINGTON, Jan. "a One of the
best lady mediums of the country Wis
tied the Guiteau trial to-day. She was
afterwards controlled, and gave some
inside points on the assassin. The sum-
ming and conclusion is this:
Guiteau is fanatic both in tempera-
ment and organization, of an extreme
type, and the victim of a false religious
education. This is his primary condi-
ton.
Guiteau is an egotist of an extreme
type also. First and last he considers
his own aggrandizement. This is his
primary motive power. With such a
groundwork of fanaticism and egotism
it was natural for him to bloom out into
a latter-day apostle.

GUITEAU IS NOT INSANE.

The act of killing the president was
purely his own act. In his wild, fanat-
ical way of reasoning, he worked him.
self up to the belief that it would be
for the public good, and that in the end
he would be held up ~ the great man
of his time. He had some trouble In
bringing his 'nerve" up to the act of
killing, but he had no doubt the private
and public good to follow was sufficient
excuse.
His disappointment as to the office
was minor motive power in the first
stages of the case, but not controlling
element afterward.
He thought little of the consequent
ces to the president. He didn't dream
of his living or suffering any length of
time. He gave two shots to make it
sure.
His inspiration theory, or " divine
pressure excuse, was mainly an after
thought. He believes himself one of
the Lords chosen few; that he must
needs act the Lords will, that there
fore there couldn't be any mistake
about this killing business. He knew,
though, that the act was enormous in
the eyes of the law, but he couldn't see
it in the light of great crime, because
it was overshadowed by supposed
greater good. 1t was the same as in
the divorce case.
There was nothing peculiar about
the act happening at this time. The
elements were there and circumstances
brought it 10 the surface.
Guiteau's insane appearance in court
is the result of mental excitement
growing out of his surroundings.
Ellis "white lying" and exaggera-
ton are justified to himself under the
law of self-defense.
It's the same also with his bad man
ners. The opposing lawyers, as he
thinks, employ mean methods and hold
him up in false light. and he takes his
way of resenting it. He fights his own
lawyers at times because they take the
narrow theory of insanity instead of
the broad grounds of his belief and di-
vine guidance.
In short, Guiteau is selfish, sanity
criminal, but not bloodthirsty. He
would not commit any violent outrage
for money.
He still believes the killing was right.
He has no feeling of remorse, nothing
to repent of.
IF he is sent to the gallows he will
show the same spirit and nerve he has
shown in court unless he breaks down
physically.
