Such Is the Opinion of the Doctors Who
Examined His Brain.
WASHINGTON, Sept f6.-Dr. Lamb on
Monday received the report of the micro
scopical reports of Drs. Arnold, Shakes
peare and Mcconnell, containing the re-
suit of their Investigations into the condi-
ton of Guiteau's brain. After careful con-
sideration, the report was endorsed by
DIR. Lamb and forwarded to Philadelphia,
where 1t will be published in a medical
journal. The report is couched in Ian
guage even more technical than the re-
port of surgical autopsy, and will nee
essarily be almost unintelligible
to the average reader DIR. Lamb
declined to express any opinion which he
may hold as to the result of the examina-
ton. saying that from his position and
connection with the case it might be given
greater prominence than it deserved. He
would say, however, that the position taken
by DR.. Gooding that Guiteau was insane,
would he materially supported by the last
report. The investigation had been made
under peculiarly favorable circumstances,
and the result would be of immense value
TO brain students. The investigation. in
deed, said DR.. Lamb, had been
so complete and thorough that
specialists would have great difficulty in
finding cases which might properly serve
as cases of comparison. In conclusion he
said he did not believe that the re-
port would cause a change of opin-
ion as to Guiteau's insanity or sanity to
any great extent, but that the medical fra
ternity must draw their own conclusions.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Sept. 6.-Compara
lively few Democrats have arrived to at
tend the state convention. The most con
splcuous person here is Harry Rubens, o.
Chicago, the attorney of the liquor
league. The prohibition question anG
the way to treat it puzzles the leaders
They are inclined to straddle it. They
can't consistently go back on the popular
sovereignty" idea, and oppose the submits
sion of prohibition amendment to the
people,and they won't be for prohibition, SC
the chances are they will favor submission
with the proviso that when submitted the
amendment will be opposed by the Demo
cratic party-a clear case of straddle. The
delegates from the large cities will be
against even submitting the question, be-
cause they hope thereby to capture the
German and the saloon vote and the local
officers. Nobody seems particularly anx-
lous to sacrifice himself by taking a place
on the state ticket. Tom Butterworth,
of Rockford. can have the
nomination for state treasurer
by doing very little work. If he does not
work for it, Dowdall, of Peoria, or
Orendorff, of Springfield will get it. Con-
gresham Bill Morrison wants Raub. of
Belleville, German, for superintendent
of public instruction, so as to help him
with the Germans of his district
IN his fight for congress. 1t is pro-
bable that German, simply because he
happens to be German, will be nominal
ed for superintendent. Anything to cap
ture the Germans and saloon-keepers is
what the party is after.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Sept. g. Following the lead of
the county organization, the Iroquois club
promptly accepted the prohibition issue,
and declared against any species of sump-
tuary legislation that will imperil the
dearly bought liberty of the American
people. Some of the more ardent mem
bers of the Iroquois claim that the action
of the county organization was suggested
by them in advance of the convention. Be
this as may, the sentiment, as expressed,
represents nearly the unanimous feeling
of the Democrats of Cook county.

The Old-School New York Editors.

The last survivor of the old school of
New York editors is Gen. James Watson
Webb, of the old Courier and ENQUIRER.
He is 80 years of age. Though burdened
with some of the infirmities that accom-
pany such advanced years, he is still o
hale and handsome old man, with the
promise of many peaceful and happy
days yet to come. Gen. Webb was in
active journalism the contemporary of
Bryant, Bennett, Greeley and Raymond
in this city, and of Weed in Albany.
All of these, save the last, are gone, and
it seems strange now that Gen. Webb
should be, with two exceptions, the
youngest Of them all. Bryant was born
in 1871, Bennett in 1895, Webb in 1902,
Greeley in 1911, and Raymond in 1920.
The oldest of the whole list, Mr.. Thur
low Weed, still remains In the full ex-
ercise of his intellectual faculties, and
with more physical vigor than many
man of half his age. Mr. Weed was born
in 1797-being thus five years the senior
of Gen. Webb. The two veteran Wing
journalists retain the warm friendship of
their earlier days, and are almost the
only examples left us of the school they
may be said to have founded. Of all
our noted old New Workers., scarcely one
takes precedence of them, save Peter
Cooper, who was born six years earlier
than Mr.. Weed, and eleven years earlier
than Gen. Webb. It is interesting to
recall the fact that Gen. Webb negO-
tiated the secret treaty with the third
Napoleon, under which the French troops
left Mexico. -New York Tribune.

every large circus-school has derrick
with long arm. Through a pulley in
the end of this arm is passed rope
which is fastened to the learners belt,
the other end being held by watchful
attendant, who secures it whenever the
rider loses his balance. A second man
keeps the arm revolving just above the
pupil as he rides around the ring, and
the instructor leads the horse by lariat.
Thus, three men are needed in teaching
one to ride bareback, and each new les
son has to be repeated great many
times in the same wearisome round.
1t is likely that most of the youngsters
who so eagerly volunteer are in q kind

THE GOLD THAT WEARS

We parted one eve at the garden gate,
When the dew was on the heather,
And promised my love to come back to her
Ere the pleasant autumn weather
That we twain might wed
When the leaves were red,
And 1--we and love together.
She out me trees from her nut-brown hair,
And kissed her lips Of cherry,
And gave her ring of the old-time gold,
With stone like the mountain berry
AS clear and blue,
AS her eyes were true
Sweet eyes, 80 bright and merry!
"The wealth of my love is an have
To give you" she said in turning;
" The gold that wears-hke the radiant stars
In yonder blue vault burningw
And took the trust,
As lover must
Whose soul for love is yearning.
Fate kept us apart for many years,
And the blue sea rolled between rs;
Though kissed each day the nut-brown tress
And made fresh vows to Venus
Till sought my bride;
And fate defed,
That failed from love to wean us.
found my love at the garden gate
When the dew vas on the heather,
And we twain were wed at the little kirk
In the pleasant autumn weather;
And the gold that wears
Now soothes my cares,
AS live and love together.

He sought another place.

"There surely is prize;
The desk appears so neat and clean,

He tried the pulpit, but, alas!
His hopes proved visionary;
With dusting- br ush the sexton came,
And spoiled his geometric game,
Nor gave him time or space to claim
The right Of sanctuary.
At length, half starved and weak and loan,
He sought his former neighbor,
Who now had grown 90 sleek and round,
He weighed a fraction Of pound,
And looked as If the art he'd found9

The Wasp.

Ine wasp
I dare say you think that the wasp is
an ugly, bad-tempered insect, who does
nothing in the world but sting little
children. She is apt to do this when
she is meddled with. OF all things she
dslikes a meddler. Yet, when she
seems to be buzzing about, seeking
whom she may sting, she is really busy
making home for her young.
I watched her at work the other day.
She had chosen the ceiling Of my room,
where the open window allowed her to
pass in and out. She had already
erected little clay hut with an opening
at one end. In order to set her mind at
rest, I let her finish her cradle and nur-
sery. Daily it grew bigger, till it was
perhaps as large as large plum. Then
one day she closed and locked the door,
SO to speak, and few away.
When her back was turned I broke
into her mud cabin, like burglar. !
found there two tiny rolls OF something
that looked like cotton wool. Each was
wrapped in brown and gauzy blanket,
and they were, in reality, the wasp's
babies-their larvae. The wasp is a
worm before she gets her wings and
sting. All around were lying the bod
les of dead flies and spiders which the
wise mother wasp had stunned with her
sting apd sealed up with her babies in
their snug quarters. When they woke
ups hungry they would find plenty Of
food in the cupboard.
This little worker was one of the
wasps that live alone but there are
others who live together In little tene'
ment houses of their own. They moi
only build their houses themselves, but
they make the pasteboard for the walls
and chambers from shreds of wooo, as
we make rags into paper.-Or Little
Ones.

THE AMERICAN PRESS,
gIe Yie,rs of Archibald Forbes.

The Vie,rs of archibald Forbes.
The Cleveland Herald interviewed the
famous war correspondent Forbes in
that city:
Mr.. Forbes, upon being asked to state
his views regarding the difference be-
tween English and American news
papers, and the journalistic profession,
replied in the following manner: "The
members of the journalistic profession in
America are, as class, very intelligent
and energetic, and the fruits Of that zeal
become manifest in their work. They
are men who are keeping abreast of the
times and the customs. European
journalists, as general thing, are more
systematic and methodical, if may be
allowed 10 use that expression, and 1
think lose that sparkling freshness SC
characteristic of American gentlemen of
the same profession. I do not wish to
be understood to say that there are not
energetic and jealous European journal
lists, but I take them as a class and say
that they do not get up as readable
paper as their brothers in America.
Gin regard to the papers of the two
continents" continued Mr.. Forbes, 81
must say that I was very much surprised
in this, my first visit to the United
States, to see the amount of reading
matter that is contained in your repre-
sentative journals. I picked up Chi
cago paper few days since, and it was
regular pamphlet. I found news in it
from all parts of the world, and the local
matter-I mean by that, news from diff
ferent States, besides that Immediately
in the locality where the paper was pub
lished-astonished me by its variety
and copiousness. Articles and editori-
ais on the leading subjects of the day,
and, in fact, most everything that man
could wish, seemed to be found in that
paper, and the New York papers I find
to be of the same type, though differing
somewhat in style, and 1 viii observe
here that a person in travelling from the
East westward can readily distinguish a
change in the style of paper. News
papers in America seem to be growth
of the soil. In the East, where the
ground has been more cultivated, there
is perhaps more compaetness and better
style, but I like the free, spontaneous
manner in which the Western journals
are conducted. 1 like the little items of
gossipy nature that are SO characters
tic of American journals. English jour-
nails are too slow. There is one phase
of American journalism that I consider
very reprehensible, and that is, its indi-
vidua personalities of an unpleasant
nature often INDUCED In"

Steamboat Indignation.
Raltlmore Sum To.dnv.


Messrs. Henry Williams, OF the Weems
Transportation Company, Howard d. Ensign,
OF the Maryland Steamboat Company, and
Reuben Foster, of the Baltimore, Chesapeake
Richmond Steamboat Company, will go to
Washington on Saturday and have an inter
view with InspectorGeneral Dumont for the
purpose OF having modified a recent circular
issued by the Treasury Department stating
that "no camphene, naphtha, benzine, benzole
coal oil, crude or refined petroleum, or other
like explosive burning fluids, or like danger
GUS articles, shall be carried as freight or
used as stores upon any steamer carrying pas
sengers." violation OF the law is punishable
by fine of $500. The Baltimore steamboat
men are indignant about the order, as they
claim that they have been using for a long
time for lighting purposes a mineral sperm
oil that VIII stand test OF over 800, and has
never been known to explode. They say the
accidents that have occurred on steamboats,
elsewhere, and which caused the order to be
Issued, were owing entirely to the cheapness
and poor quality OF the oil burned. They
think the circular ought not to be so sweeping
in Its provisions, and that It ought to be so
modified as to allow safe oil to be used as here
tofore. II the order is not changed, candles
will be used instead OF lamps.
