In the absence Of any arrangements made
by the family for the disposition OF the

dered a coffin to be prepared by Mr.. John X.
Wright. the undertaken on Tenth street
near o. The coffin was completed about
/ O'Clock last evening, and il was placed in
the shop to await further orders from the
I jail. IL is as plain and cheap an affair rs
could be put together, and il Is no better
than j. prepared for criminals buried at the
expense of the Government. 1t is made OF
white wood stained in cheap imitation OF
rosewood. A square OF white painted strips
Of wood along the side relieve the plainness
little, while the three handles on each
side. made Of some white metal, rather
adds to the chcapness OF the appearance OF
| the coffin. There is n row Of white studs
along the edge Of the cover, but no plate.
The inside il lined with Spanish lace,
white-cambric looking stuff, and presents
a very decent appearance. The coffin was
viewed by crowds OF curious people last
night and all day to-day, and Mr. Wright's
patience was put to test in the effort TO
attend to customers amid such a crowd.
II il estimated that there were ut least five
hundred people that came to see the coffin,
and the stream was still flowing steadily
this afternoon.

although we may not be able 40 see it,"

The Assassin's Appetite not Affected.
WASHINGTON, June 29.-Up to this fore
noon Guiteau was apparently unconcercd
about what was transporting around him.
He slept until about 5 O'Clock, when he
took for breakfast a pound Of broiIed steak,
with unlimited potatoes, bread and butter,
and q quart OF coffee. Later in the day, as
his relatives and friends paid their
FAREWELL VISITS,
he occasionally gave way to a little excite
mcnt, but the only manifestation OF emo
! ton was when bouquet was brought from
hi, sister, Mrs. ScoyiIle. This weakening,
! however, was very brief.
HE MADE WILL,
bequeathing his body TO DR.. Hicks, hi,
spiritual adviser, with the injunction that
il shall not be diverted TO any mercenary
purpose. His book i also left to DR..
Hicks. His counsel. Charles Reed, drew
the will. When taking leave Of his sister
he insisted upon kissing her for the last
time through the bars OF his cell, asking
that it be 80 recorded.
Either Warden Crocker or Assistant
Warden Rush was present at all OF these
final interviews. At times Guiteau broke
out in

his deputy, whom he accused of bounding

he hanged at noon sharp, but Warden
Croker has set the hour OF half-past /.

lines that Mrs. Scoyille is mistaken in her
