PRESIDENT HARRIsoN's visit to New York this week, while ostensibly for the purpose of attending the laying of the corner stone of the Grant monument, is in reality for the purpose of settling the question of his candidacy for renomi- nation. He will carry with him the two men who were taken into the cabi- net solely to bring about his renomi- nation-Secretaries Foster and Elkins- and while there these political manipu- lators will meet the republican bosses of New York and other states and try to make bargains with them. Score tary Foster has just returned from Ohio, where he went to lay Harrison wires, and there Is reason for believing, although he maintains to the contrary, that he fonnd the anti Harrison senti' ment too strong for him, and that the Ohio delegation will go to Minneapolis uninstructed. With such states af Pennsylvania and Ohio sending unin' structed delegations, it becomes neces' sary for Mir Harrison to capture the New York delegation or throw up the sponge.

uAHrELO's ASSASSIN.
GuIteau's Last Drink-How His Body V
 Roilad.

GuIteau's Last Drink-HOW His Body Was
 Boiled.
 Dr. Tilden, formerly chemist at the national medical museum, has told Q re- porter some unwritten history about Guiteau, President Garheld's assassin. He said that the assassin went to the Bcaffold in Q semi-drunken condition. ''This," added the doctor, twas a neces- sity. You are aware that when D squad of soldiers entered the jail rotunda a short while before the execution and came to order Ar1ns' with loud bang Guiteau fell over in 6 dead faint. His nervous system was shattered, and the physicians felt that they would be unable to get him to the scaffold A consultation was held and it was de- cided to give him a dose of brandy. This was done and he got n big dose too. Not being used to drinking, the dose went to his head, and his oh Lordy' song on the scaffold was, in my estimation, a drunken effusion."
 Dr. Tilden, says the San Francisco Chronicle, described how the body of Guiteau was removed to the museum, then located on Tenth street. He said that the body was never buried, but, after being placed in the coffin, was taken down into the jail cellar, where it remained until after midnight. Soon after that hour an ambulance drove up to the building and the remains were quietly placed therein and quickly driven down town. Then they were taken into the museum through the alley which runs in from F street. Once in the building all that remained ot Charles J. Guiteau was taken into the boiler-room and placed In an immense boiler, where 1t was allowed to boil and bubble until all the flesh had fallen from the bones. The latter were then picked out and bleached, and some day will form an interesting exhibit in the medical museum.

Popular Government.

If anyone wants an argument for pop nlar government he has only to look at the German empire. It is a notorious fact, says the St. Paul Globe, that the blood of the Hohenzollerns is tainted with the virus of an awful malady.
 The great-uncle of the present emperor was insane. His father died after years of the greatest suffering, leaving to his son the heritage of diseased body, of which he gives evidence every day. And yet on the caprice of this young man, distraught with physical pain, probably occasionally unaccountable for his ac- tions, rest the prosperity and happiness of millions of people. Under a mon- archical system no relief Is at hand for such a condition of affairs. If king does wrong it takes a revolution or an assassin's dagger to end his career. In America when a public officer makes himself offensive we impeach him, or wait for the next election. Some abuses attend popular government, but, on the whole, 1t can be called a success.

WnrIEinn AKnleIa.


 Within tho last few yeara an almost new industEy has sprung up in the man ufactnrlng cities throughout the coun- try. Many of the better elass Of ma chine shops now employ expert work men who do nothing but work on mod els under the direct guidance of the in- ventors themselves, This methodis of the greatest possible advantage to the man with good idea, but who Is not . practical mechanic. A man can go to one of these shops, and at an expense of five dollars day, exclusive of the cost of material used, can engage an ex- pert who will make him any kind of a machine he may wish. It does not mat ter how impracticable the contrivance may be, the mechanic will make 1t with out question; but unless the inventor is a crank, it is well for him to adopt the practical suggestions of the expert. The greatest confidence exists between the inventor and the shop people, and many years of deferred hope and use less tinl1ering are spared in cases where the idea is of no practical use. The wives of inventors have good reasons to be thankful for this modern method o1 working out ideas, for the crank who used to turn his house into a place re sembling torture chamber, and take his wife's sewing-machine to pieces, when in need of a wheel or some other mechanism, can now scheme And devise to his hearts content as long as his money holds out. If his hobby Is per petual motion, the expert can make him machine just as he has conceived 1t. Every part will be there in itl proper place and nothing will be lack ing except the motion.

 CAMBRIDGE, Mass, April 26. - The discovery that her lover had wooden leg led Maggie Williams to dismiss Will liam E. Cunningham, to whom she was betrothed. The engagement was broken Sunday night, the young woman mp braiding her lover for the deception he had practised upon her. Yesterday Cunningham visited 25 Portsmouth street, where Maggie was employed as a domestic, and asked her to shake hands and make up. Maggie refused to be reconciled to the wooden leg and again repulsed him.
 Then Cunningham drew 8 revolver and fired two shots at his sweetheart, one bullet taking effect in her left tenn pie and the other over the heart. Gun ningham then placed the revolver at his own head and fired. The shot did not kill and the man fired again, the bullet passing just over the heart. He fell across the body of the girl and awaited death.
 and hurried the victims of the tragedy to the hospital. The girl died before reaching the institution. Cunningham is alive, but is mortally wounded. He would say nothing about the matter save that the woman was killed by get ting in the way while he was trying tc | commit suicide.

A SMOKE helmet of real utility has been adopted by a western fire bri- gade. It not only protects the eyesight from the blinding smoke, but furnishes sufficient fresh air for breathing pur- poses to enable the fireman to continue his work under circumstances which would otherwise be prohibitive. It com- prises a large flexible hood that entirely encloses the head and neck. says the Pittsburg Dispatch, the head being forced upward through yielding neck orifice which closes snugly about the neck. The front of the helmet is pro- vided with transparent screen of glass or mica, so that the view of the fireman is absolutely unim peded. A strong cylindrical air reservoir, supported at the back of the neck, contains a fresh supply of air, strongly compressed, which will serve to maintain inspiration for a reasonable time. The cylinder communicates with the interior of the hood, the air being let in gradually by 6 valve that controls its admission accord ing to adjustment. A small pressure guage Is connected with the cylinder which indicates the amount of com precision. An air pump is also attached by which the supply of air can be re- plenished when necessary. The fire man is thus enabled not only to gel much nearer the fire, but to exist anG carry on his operations under conditions that formerly would inevitably have been fatal to life.

THE remedies for the grip are almost as numerous as the cases of that dread ed malady. One was tried by William Parrott, of Dillsboro, H., at the sug- gestion of well-meaning friend, be- tween whom and the unfortunate Par rott there is now a chilling coolness. The friend told Parrott that his grip would be driven from his system in ten hours by warm lye bath. Parrott followed his friends instructions, and the warm lye caused the patient to shed his skin like a snake, and removed his hair rand beard. He is now as bald as a billiard ball, and his cuticle all over his body is as smooth as that of a freshly skinned calf. But the grip is gone.
