FIRST PICTURE OF GUTTEAu.
How an Enterprising Photographer Got a
Negative without Seeing the Assassin.

How an Enterprising Photographer Got a
Negative Without Seeing the Assassin.
"Do you know how the first picture
of Guiteau, the assassin of President
Garfield, was made?" asked Capt. Cole
man, of the jail guard, addressing a
Washington Post reporter. No? Well,
will tell you. At that time no one
but Guiteau's counsel and immediate
family were allowed to see him, and it
was impossible to obtain photograph
of him from any source whatever. The
artists were around as thick as flies
around a sugar hogshead trying to get
a peep at the culprit, which, by the
way, they were unable to do.
FINALLY one of the number, more en-
terprising than his brethren, asked me
for a personal description of the pris-
orer. sat down and gave him the
best description could. He listened
intently to every detail and made
numerous inquiries. When had
finished he drew a picture from the
verbal description had given him and
submitted the drawing to myself and
several of the guards who had frequent
intercourse with the assassin. We sug-
gested several changes in the facial
lines, ETC., which the artist made, and
when he had finished the picture was
almost as good likeness of Guiteau as
those afterward made from the photo
graphs. That is what call descriptive
drawing from memory"

Blazer loose. Tell Isham. the old mig
ger, Marse Evan said to hide you all
day and be sure TO get you to the Fer
ry' at night. You understand?"
Il do-perfectly," the girl replied,
still quietly. "You mean to fight them
off while | run"
All this was quickly spoken, in whis-
pers, but clearly distinct on either side.
The approaching horses had turned into
the sandy road, trotting east towards
them, not one hundred yards away. For
an instant Evan was silent. He had
combated Carolyn Clay's will before,
and knew its strength Then he whis-
pered:
They're on usl Promise me, Caro-!
Remember your mother! Remember
Fairfax! 1t is the only chance. Prom
ise"
There was choke in the whisper that
came back to him:
81 promise"
The stiffness Of death hung over that
little belt of woods. Side by side the
southern soldier and the southern girl
sat like statues, each with eye and ear
alert and with firm hand upon the rein.
Like statues the horses stood, their sides
scarce heaving now, but with forward
pricked ears, as cognizant of some dan
ger that might come. And in that still
ness the rustic of snowflake upon crisp
leaf was sharp and clear.
Hoof-mufled by damp sand of the lit

Of the scout counted twelve; taking in,
through night and mist, the outline of

of federal cavalry.
If Evan Fauntleroy knew what fear
meant, he certainly had never obeyed
the divine injunction sufficiently to
know himself in that respect. In the

scout, in still more trying test of lying
inactive for hours under heavy fire, the

Cheating British Recruits.

The British war department has been
complaining for years of great difficult
ties in keeping the battalions of the
army at full strength because recruit
ing was going on slower than ever be-
fore. The reasons of the falling off
were made plain by evidence given be-
fore the parliamentary committee. Re-
cruits are promised good meals and
clothing free, and quarter of dollar
pay clear day. But the meals were
said to be so bad and scanty that they
could not live on them and the clothing
was insufficient. That is why young
men refuse to enter the army and re-
cruiting is falling off. Yet the cost Of a
soldier to the British taxpayer is much
greater than the cost in any other state
of Europe.

HERBIVOROUS FISH.
Carp That Eat Grass and Vegetable
GrOwths.

Carp That Eat Grass and Vegetable
GrOwths.
The manager of the Laguna de Tache
Rancho, says the San Francisco Call,
says the carp which were introduced in
the Kings river a few years ago have
grown so plentiful that they are thin
ming out the ducks and almost all other
water fowl except the wild geese.
They pervade the river in large
numbers" said he, land are very thick
in the irrigating bitches. They seem to
eat the grass. They devour the various
kinds of small animal life, and though
the ducks and other fowl dive down
deep they can find little to eat.
81 cannot imagine what the United
States fish commission was about in
sending out such coarse-heshed,
ravenous fish as these carp are. They
are certainly worse to eat than almost
any fish we have in California and they
are thinning the good fish out.
"Shoals of them are TO be found in
the water bitches. They get out on the
grass where there is little water, and
there you can scoop them in. Some Of
them are very large. Plenty can be
seen from a foot to two feet long. =.
They eat the natural food of the
duck, widgeon and snipe, and as con-
sequence all those are getting scarce.
We need no more carp, and what we
will do with those we have seems TO me
a great problem. They are breeding
fast"

by spur and voice.
On came the pursuers, strung out
through the dim woods, handicapped BY
heavier mounts and ignorance Of the
way, yet CALAMITY pressing after the
flying enemy-not knowing if he were
one or a dozen.
Now and again the carbines rang,
more than one chip of bark flying near
the scouts head, and one bullet whis-
ting close by his ear. But it was rae
ing aim, and the wood was darker than
without; so Evan stuck to the shelter as
long as he might, before striking out
into the woods trail. He was gaining
on the federals, too; and fainter beat Of
hoofs in front, and fainter still, told
him that Carolyn Clay was past pursuit

Into the road he dashed; into the road
soon strung the pursuit; and with a
yell and touch Of both spurs the scout
gave the black his head and raced for

BECKY'S QUERY.

Dear grandmamma, when you wereyoung,
And grandpa came ACQUIRING,
Did you feel sure when love begun
Or did you let it slowly Gomez
Did grandpa give you roses fair
To deck your gown, or Irvine your hairi
DID everybody whisper: There
The man has come a-courtingl"
How did you know, dear grandmamma,
Whate'er the man was coming for,
When grandpa came ACQUIRING
Were there no other suitOrs nigh
To sue your heart, and soothe your sigh
Did you not sometimes whimper: "Why
WI people come a a-courting"
how did you know which one to choose'
Did you not tremble in your shoes,
When grandpa came a-courtingY
And when you chose Of all, the BEST
What did sou do with all the resti
Were they not terribly distrest,
Cause grandpa came a-courting'
How wise, dear grandmamma, were you,

brow, spite of the piercing cold, and he

giving one red-hot ''rebel yell" and
dashing out upon them.
Then the seeming endless agony was
over; the last riders had passed, disap-
peared, and were ascending the hill be-
yond the hidden watchers; and not
suspicion had that ostrich of scout
commander that his prey had been so
near and-missed!
Then the southern woman-like all
her sisters, forgetful of danger, of self,
of all save her loves labor-whispered:
Thank God! we can make the Ferry
now"
And in answer, clear and shrill and
loud from the road beyond echoed the
neigh of horse; and ere Evans quick
hand could clinch his reared muzzle the
roam had answered full and strong.

trotting rapidly between trees for the
narrow road-the reversed scouting
party moving fast towards them,
guided by the neigh. Once she turned,
crying:

And the boy answered, cheerily:
''Go on! Faster-for Fairfaxs sake.
I'm coming, adding through his
clinched teeth: when I've held them
back long enough to save you!"
The thunder of close hoofs was oppo-

charge, strung out as sllirmishers along
the road, to hem in their unseen foe.

their carbines were unslung, and the
least sound would bring volley to drop
him out Of saddle. From the vantage

four dash by, straight for the little
trail for which the girl was making, too.
Then came the officer, in full career;
and Evan, quickly wheeling his horse,
turned in the saddle and fired at the fly
ing shadows without-once, twice-as
they came into view. Then came a
halt rush ofquick-changed hoofs, and
the crisp twigs of the trees about him
hurtled around his ears, as six carbines

HALLOWEEN VANDALISM.
Young Hny In Police Court for De-
strOying Il Valuable Xnsc


In the Police Court, yesterday, Edward,
the thirteen-year-old son of Roadmaster
Wright, of the Monon, was tried for ma
licious trespass. The trespass was a Hal
loween depreciation carried on by a crowd
of boys residing in the northeastern part
of the city. On Tuesday night young
Wright, together with Otto Stechhan and
others, made detour of that portion Of
the city, carrying off gates and doing the
many other things which boys consider
their privilege upon Halloween night. They
turned over and broke a fine marble vase
standing in the yard of DIR. Wagner and it
for this that young Wright was ar
rested. The boys supposed it was an iron
vase, and that damage would be done
by turning it over They discovered their
mistake too late. The vase was, i'm fact a
handsomely-carved marble one, carved by
Carneau, n French sculptor who made a
part of the statuary in the Statehouse. and
was purchased by DIR. Wagner at a cost
of $175 Young Wright admitted turning
the vase over, and said that Otto Stechhan
assisted him in doing This was denied
by Stechhan. Judge Stubs took the case
under advisement till next Tuesday morn
ing, and the boy was released upon the
promise of his father to have him in the
court on that day.

Terre Haute Sewer Case Decided by

Boy in Trouble.

City Attorney Scott yesterday filed in the
United States Court demurrer to the
complaint OF Coffin & Stanton in their liti-
cation against the city of Indianapolis and
the Merchants National Bank 1t having
been alleged in the complaint that the city
had no authority to replace the $1,000
Sellers farm bonds. which the city had
paid off, the city attorney sets forth in
his brief the fact that the city charter in
vests the city with the authority to issue
the Objectionable bonds. He AYERS that the
ppruIhd nee anu Dill SHOWS that SZl'Vyo had
been loaned the controller by the city to
satisfy the Sellers farm bonds, and, fur
ther. that it was necessary to issue certain
bonds in order 10 replace the amount Dor
rowed. 1t is further maintained that the
5000, 600 worth of bonds, which the city had
legal power to issue, are valid without re-
gard TO the other tWenty-one bonds.
