TI,ELASTOE GUlTEAU.

A Washington special of the LIST to
the Daily States reads as follows:
The excitement is over and the city
is itself once more. There seems to be
better feeling among the people since
the execution of Guitcau.
The funeral services held over the
body OF the dead murderer We're very
simple, and took place at O'Clock this
afternoon in the Jail chapel.
The remains looked about the same
as yesterday with the exception of a
slight coloration in the dimples where
the scalp had been turned over the
face while the brain was removed,
otherwise there was nothing in the APP
pearance of the face to indicate that an
autopsy had been held.
Rev. Hick read passage from the
Scriptures and offered prayer. After
which the members of the family took
a last look at the remains.
Mrs. Scoville, although much affect
ed, bore the ordeal with considerable
firmncss. The coffin was then closed
anu the reI1l0ltlS IcHuONcu ~ lhS SoAAA
dor of the Jail.
A portion of the stone floor was taken
up and grave dug. There We're no
services held at the grave. Mr.. Scoville
was not present during the burial. The
coffin was lowered and the grave filled.
The stones were replaced and the
little party of witnesses to the last act
of the great tragedy returned to the
city.
William Hays, an cX-conVict Of the
Indiana penitentiary, recently discharg-
ed after Il servitude of fourteen years,
with $500 in his pocket, fell among
thieves tn Chicago the first day he ar
rived there, who not only relieved him
of the money earned during his long
| imprisonment, but took his watch and
chain also. He had killed his best
friend, in drunken braWl, fifteen
years ago, and stated that the rcnorse
growing out Of his act was harder to
bear than his long imprisonment. lie
said he would have stayed in prison ii
he could have done so, and that now
he wanted to go back there and remain
until he died.

ROUGH ON THE JEWS.
[TeNas Siftings.l

CfeNaS Slltngs.l
a German gentleman living in Aus
tin tells us he had 4 curious dream
about Heaven and the Jews.
In his dream he went to Heaven, but
when the door was opened he saw that
all the best seats were already occupied
by Israelites. AS he had no reserved
ticket, he did not know what to do,
when bright idea suddenly struck
him. Putting his hand to his mouth,
he called out, loud:
"Big auction in Hades!"
In less than minute there wasn't a
Jew in Heaven, and he picked out the
best seat in the house. When he
awoke, he found it was all dream.
We have no doubt but that this was
really the case.

FINDING BRIDE IN THB SEINE The

WITH 4 pretty, amisble, but dowerlsss girl.
TIE course of true love ran smoothly
enough so long as the young mans father
was not aware of what was going forward,
but when his consent to the marriage was
asked, he ti1tly refused to give it. A last
meeting took place, vows Of eternal con.
staucy were interchauged, and the lovers
separated. The youag lady, deeply affected
by the parting, took the rash determine.

she carried out her intention. a gentle.
man walking along the 9usys at the time

the rescue. The would.be suicide was
saved, but the most curious part Of the
story is that the gentleman who saved her
cnsuced to be the father of the man she
loved. The denouement of the affair can be
easily guessed. The stern parents infiex.

LIscoIFs DUEL.

Major j. NJ. Lucas, one of the pioneer
citizens of Jacksonville, Ill, and who WIS.,
tied Chicago as early as 1886, is now on
visit here, having recently returned from
Europe, where he has lately resigned his
position as United States Consul in Tun-
stall, England. Major Lucas is the emily
man now living who was an eyewitness OF
the alleged duel between MIR. Lincoln and
General James Shields, across the Missis-
sippi river, at Alton, in 1912. The details
OF that now almost forgotten "affair of
honor are still present TO his mind, al
though he is rather reluctant TO call it mp
out Of the past, where, as he says, it ID as
we'll it should he buried. The idea Of
Abraham Lincoln going to the field armed
with a broadsword to fight duel seems to
those who knew him in his later days, SO
inconsistent with his pacific character, that
many have doubted the authenticity of the
story. But 1t verify did occur, says Major
Lucas, who rode down to the spot, and was
there when the affair was amicably ad-
justed.
Tee challenge of Shields arose out of 8
qaizziCal newspaper article which was writ

General Shields ire were written by Miss
Mary Todd-afterward Mrs. Lincoln
aud Miss Julia Javne-sfterwsrd Mrs.
Trumbull. Ed. JoURNAL.j This gave
such offsDse to General Shields that ne
went TO the editor and demanded to know
who the writer was. The editor of the
| paper was in Guandary, and meeting LIN
coin on the street, asked him what he had
better dc. "On," said Lincoln, "just tell
Shields that it was me. The editor did
so, and Shields seat challenge to Lincoln,
who had jus. gone to Tazewell county to

Lincoln accepted the challenge, and the

SOCIAL BoRES.
Dante Gabriel RosatG.


Those who want praise, for which some
men ard women have as farce thirst as
the dipsomaniac has for brandy. These
are the literary beggars, who insist on
sending you manuscripts or books, and, as
it were, pistol in hand, call for "Your can
did opinion" or your life. As regards this
form of extortion, all but the merest nov
ices will observe the rule never to read
manuscript until it is their paid profession
to do 30. Manuscript is often badly writ
