    "Washington, November 14.
Soon after daylight this morning a
great crowd begau to gather about
the district court house, all unxioue
to get a glimpse of the assassin Gui
tcau, whose trial was to begin at
10 a. in. For hours they waited. At
length the court doors were opened.
Ae many as cottlcl bo accommodated
with seats were admitted and the
others stood near by in hopeless
anxiety. The prisoner was brought
down from the jail this time in the
police van, but so quietly that scarce
ly any one but the officers knew it.
Every scat in the court' room was
filled except four and all available
standing 'room. The audience was
composed for the most part of mem
bers of the District bar, witnesses
and members of the press. Not
more than half a dozen ladies had
gained admission to the court room.
Next to the three or four vacant
scats referred to sat lawyer Scoville,
his wife, who is Guitcau's sister,
Guitcau'e brother and lawyer llob
inson, his chief conusel. At 10:05
a. in., thcrc was a rash near the
northwest entrance, and the marshal
entered, followed by two officers,
between whom was the prisoner.
Guitcau was dressed in a suit of
dark clothes which his brother pre
sented yesterday. He took a seat
by his sister, Mr. Robinson on the
other side, the officers sat behind
him, and ono of them leaning over
unfastened the cuffs from Guitcau's
wrist. The prisoner then 6hook
hands with his brother and sister,
handed the latter a small pamphlet
and package of paper, and then ar
ranged the articles on the table
before him rather as if he had been
counsel then accused. He appeared
much more collected than when first
arraigued and had nothing of the
frightened look that marked him at
that time. "When all was quiet Mr.
Robinson addressed the court ask
ing for more time before the trial.
He said he had reason to know that
he could get needed assistance as
counsel before long and that he had
some witnesses who could not get
there before December 1st. Ho was
willing to give the court the names
of said witnesses. As Mr. Robin
son sat down Guitcau arose'and said,
"if your honor please, I desire to
address the court." His manner was
calm and businesslike. People rose
to their leet all over the room, but
there was no disturbance. He went
on : "I did uot know that my coun
sel was ready to make his speech
this morning. I desire to speak for
myself. 1 am here on a murderous
charge, and I desire to be heard in
niy defense," "This is not the time
to enter upon the defense' said
Judge Cox, quietly; "it is only a
question whether more time isuced
ed for preparing the defense." "It
is not needed," said Guiteau, "wo
are ready to go on with the case
now." Mr. Robinson smiled at thi
and asked Guitcau to sit down. The
prisoner said, "You keep still,'- but
he did sit down, muttering as he
did so, "We are ready to go ahead
now." Col. Corkhill said he saw
no reason why the time should be
extended. Mr. Robinson made an
affidavit that the sole ground on
which ho asked delay was in order
to get the necessary witnesses and
couuscl. He said he was practically
alone in the case and needed some
ono. Thero was developed an cvi
dont split between Messrs. Scoville
and Robinson. Mr. Scoville, ad
dressing the court, said that Mr.
Robinson's application was made
without his knowledge, which was
certainly a strange proceeding, since
he had not even seen the affidavit
nor heard what cousel hoped to get.
For his part he was ready to go on
with the trial. He knew he was in
competent to go ahead without as
sistance to be ablo to proceed.
Even now ho hoped to bo of some
assistance to Mr. Robiuson, but if he
was to go on in this way he (Sco
ville) should withdraw. Here Gui
teau jumped to his feet and said in
an excited manner: "I endorse
every word he Bays, "Robinson came
into this caso without consulting me
and I don't like the way he talks. I
order him peremptorily to withdraw
from the case." Mr. Robiuson re
newed his application. Mr. Sco
ville claimed that the near rela
tives of the prisoner should at least
know who was expected to como for
the defense. Guitcau again inter
rupted, "We don't want Robinson,
anyway. This is peremptory and ho
must go." Mr. Scoville went on:
"If we have time enough we could
got counsel, and plenty without
.money, but if the court is going to
give us time, aud at the samo time
assign counsel, I don't agroo with
it," "With this Guiteau jumped up
again, rapping the tables with his
knuckles. lie said, "Mr. Scoviltc is
next to me in this case. I intend to
do this business myself. Robinson
is not wanted." The officers turned
to keep hira quiet, but ho told them
to mind their own business. He
was in.thc presence of tho court.and
would talk when he felt liko it. Col.
CorKhill asked the conrt to try to
keep the prisoner quiet, whereupon
Guiteau Rat down .saying ho would
do whatever tho court wished him.
After that .he, was comparatively
quiet. Judge Cox then said he was
inclined to give the defense a little
moro time Ho intends that the
prisoner shall have at least a fair
trial, but he thought it would per
haps be better to allow the case to
proceed so far as the selection of a
jury, leaving it for counsel to ar
range for him a future continuance,
and fqr additional counsel Mr. Sco
ville "feaid it should be understood
that he should not even question a
jury until he knew exactly who was
to be associated with him and Mr.
Robinson in the defeuse. The court
said no one could be assigned with
out Mr. Scoville's consent, Mr.
Scoville and Mr. Robinson both ex
pressed themselves as satisfied with
thiB arrangement; and the jury panel
was then taken up. Tho court ex
plained that it was a wrong inter
pretation of the law to demand on
such a jury only those persons who
bad. formed no opinion. The only
absolutely disqualified porsous were
those who haye formed an opinion
that could not be changed by any
evidence whatever.
The first four of the jury panel
6tated distinctly and finally that they
had opinions which no ovidence
could change and they were speedi
ly excused. The fifth seemed all
right until asked if ho had any
scruples as to. capital punishment,
lie smiled as ho answered in the
affirmative aud seemed glad to gel
out of it.. Tho sixth thought he
could give a verdict in accordanco
with the evidence, although ho had
repeatedly said he should hang the
prisoner. This man was in tho hard
ware business. Mr. Scoville said the
juror was not wanted. The next
rfiian was a mechanic. Ho had no
opinion not very decided thongh he
could give a fair verdict. Mr. Sco
ville asked as to his politics and re
ligion. Judge Porter, of tho prose,
cution, objected. Mr. Scoville said
he desired to know something of the
jurors' conscience before knowing
whether ho might exercise tho right
to a peremptory challenge. That
was all he was driving at. He was
willing to let that question rest until
he could present authorities. This
man was "William P. O'Donnell, and
in his case the defense made their
first peremptory challenge. The
eighth was excused becauso he held
firmly to the opinion formed shortly
after the shooting. The ninth man
was John Hamlin, a well known
restauranter of Washington. Ho
answered all questions satisfactori
ly, some as to whether he held to
any infidel belief.
John A. Vaudueen seemed quali
fied uuless In that he had a sort of
prejudice agninst insanity. On this
ground the defense ordered their
thiid peremptory challenge.
Hiram Trimble the next man or
the panel said he never allowed him
self to be influenced by newspapers.
He investigated things for himself
and was satisfied that Guiteau did
the shooting but as not to whether
ho was guilty of murder. Col.Cork
hill said he was too much of an in
vestigator for this trial and ho was
excused. ThiB exhausted tho panol.
An order was issued for a new panel
of 75 citizens. At this point Guiteau
arose and stated that ho should like
to make a speech .to-morrow morn
ing. The court told him he would
be given a chauco to be heard in bis
own defense.
Guiteau "But that must go in
now your honor, as it must iufluence
public opinion."
The Court "That's uot what we"
are here for."
Col. Corkhill said he hoped the
court would insist on the prisoner
keeping still.
Guiteau "Never, Colonel, I know
my business and I hope you do
yours."'
He was finally quieted by the offi
cers bnt he managed to get his
written speech into tho hands of a
reporter who started for tho door.
Mr. Scoville had the roporter stopp
ed and the paper was not given out
with the consent of counsel.
FIVE JUIIOUS OBTAINED.
In the Guitcau trial to-day five
jurors were obtained and sworn in.
Their names and occupations aro as
follows : Jno. P. Harlin, restaurant
keeper; F. W. Bandenborg, cigar
maker; Clias. E. Stowart, flour and
feed dealer; Henry J. Bright, retired
from business; Thos. H. Langley,
grocer. The panel was then ex
hausted and the court adjourned till
to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock.
GUITEAU'S STATEMENT.
Tho statement that Guiteau de
Bired to mako in court Is quite
lengthy. Ho says that the Deity
seems to favor tho shooting of Gar
field, and he will continue to do so
until tho end. Insanity 6ootns to
run in his family. The word "as
sassin" grates upon his mind, yet
people delight in using it. He con
clndos as follows: "To-day I suffer
in bonds as a patriot. Washington
led tho armies of tho revolution
through eight years of bloody war
to victory and glory. Grant led the
armies of the union to victory and
glory, and to-day tho nation is happy
and prosperous. Washington and
Grant by their valor and success in
war won the admiratfon of mankind.
To-day I suffer in bonds as a patriot
because I had tho inspiration and
nervo to unite a great political party
to the end that the nation might bo
saved another desolatiug war. To
say that I havo been misunderstood
and villified by nearly tho entire
American press and people is a true
statement, but providence and time
tightens all things. I appeal to tho
liberal press of the nation for jus
tice. I appeal to the republican
party, especially the stalwarts, of
which I$un prond to be one, for
justice. lappeal to tho president of
the United State for justice; I am
the man that made him president.
Without my inspiration he was a
political character, without power
or import. I was constantly with
him during the canvass and he
knows that wo had all we could do
to elect our ticket. I am moro than
glad that Mr. Arthur is proving
himself a wisemau in his now place.
I expect he will give the nation the
finest administration it has ever had.
I appeal to this honorable court for
justice at the last great day, when all
men will stand in tho presence of
tho Deity asking for mercy and jus
tice. As they act so will their final
abode hereafter. Often men are
governed by passion and not by
reason. The mob crucified tho Sa
vior of mankind. This happened
many centuries ago. For eighteen
centuries it exerted as tremondous
an influence on tho civilized as the
despised Gallian. They did their
work with the Almighty Father.
Judge Cox announced that the
court would come in daily at 7
o'clock and a recess would bo de
clared daily from 12 : 30 to 1 p. m.,
and take an adjournment as prompt
ly at 3 o'clock. Tho court then ad
journed till to-morrow. Guiteau
was removed from tho court room
and tho crowd dispersed.
Tho prisoner was taken back to
tho jail quiotly. The opinion is that
ho is overdoing the insanity dodgo.
His counsel smiled at his perform
ance as if it was part of tho pro
gramme. TO ASSIST TIIE PROSECUTION.
E. E. Smith, of Now York, was
to-day assigned as counsel to assist
the prosecution in Gulteau's trial.
He Got It.
One of the most touching things
we have ever read in a long timo is
that story of a robber and a poor
lone woman near Franklin, Ohio.
The robber came to her houso at
night aud demauded her money or
her life. She hadn't much money or
much life either, but she preferred
giving up the former rather than
tho latter; so sho brought her little
store and placed it in his hand. He
looked it over carefully, to see that
she didn't palm off any twenty cent
pieces for quarters, aud facotiously
told her that he could credit her for
ouly ninety-four cents ou the trade
dollars, chiding her for taking them
at- their face value. 'Haven't you
anything else of value?' inquired the
bold, bad burglar, looking about the
scantily furnished apartment, 'a
child's bracelet, ring anything will
be thankfully received." She had
nothing more, she replied with a
sigh. A thought struck him. 'Your
husband was a soldier, was he not?'
She acknowledged that he was, and
was killed in tho war. 'Then he
must have had a revolver,' he con
tinued, searching her countenance.
'Ah, you grow confused, you stam
mer; your manner betrays you.
"Get that revolver at ouco.' In vain
the woman implored him to Bpare
that harmless trinket, almost the
sole momorial of her husband she
had lost. She had pawned many
things when in distress, but had al
ways hung on to 4hat. But tho rob
ber'was unrelenting; Bobbing bit
terly she went to a bureau drawer
and removed the precious relic,
around which clustered so many
recollections. 'Must you have it?'
said she, as she advanced with trem
bling steps toward hira. 'Yes, I
muBt,' said the robber, extending
his hand. 'Well, then, take it,' said
she, gently pressing the trigger for
the last time. There was a loud, re
port, and tho robber tumbled over
dead. The community should pen
sion that woman. Cincinnati Sat

The Presbyterlaus of Pennsylva
nia are endeavoring to decido wheth
er dancing is wrong. In an evil
moment Herbort Donaldson, a mem
ber iu good and rcgnlHr standing of
the Emlenton church, attempted to
walk through a quadrille at a private
residence, and tho session expelled
him for dancing. Ho appealed to
tho Clarion presbytery, but it re
fused to grant its appeal. Ho then
appealed to the synod of Eric, and
in a plea of four hours stated his
position, the main points of which
wero that dancing in itself was not
a sin against the laws either of God
or of man ; that only its abuse made
it a Bin ; that he wns not charged
with-dancing to excess; that tho de
cision was not sustained by evi
dence, and was cruel and unjust.
Two dayB wero occupied iu a heated
discussion. The final ballot resulted
in a voto of 73 to 20 against sustain
ing the decision. But this is not the
end. The case will be taken to the
goneral assembly, which will be
called upon to decido the important
question, can Presbyterians dance?

Successful JLiterary IVuiiie?.
Clemens, the humorist (belter
known as Mark Twain), has done
better than any man of his turn of
labor. He has been 15 years before
the public, aud during that time has
become rich enough to live oft' his
income. His property iu Hartford
iB worth more than $80,000. Mrs.
Stowc has made more by her pen
thai! any other American woman,
and has probably cleared $100,000.
This may seem liko a large sum, but"
when it is spread through a quarter
of a century it is not such an im
mense sum as it first appears to be.
Mariau Harland (Mrs.Terhuue) who
has written industriously for 20
years, has probably made $30,000 by
a dozen novels. Her cook-book has
also been very profitable. Mary J.
Holmes has been also highly suc
cessful. Gail Hamilton (Miss Dodge)
enjoyed a good sale of her books
during her early days of authorship,
but her vanity got tho better of her
judgment, and sho quarreled with
her publishers. Her noxt book was
devoted to tho quarrel, and at once
impaired her popularity. Sho now
has a cornor in tho papers, but will
never do much iu books again.
Walworth, who was shot by his sou,
novcr made much out of his books,
and thoy were, in fact, too iuforior
to sell without extraordinary puff

unusual popularity. He is witty
and says many wise as well as fnnny
things. It seoms a pity that such a
clevor fellow should be obliged to
borrow the jokes of poor Artemus
Ward and print them as original,
but such is one of tho weaknesses of
fnnny fellows. Carletou has paid
Shaw $30,000 for his almanac, which
has been issued for 10 years or more.

Morality must be taught in the
public schools if tho nation would
not become morally bankrupt. It
might bo difficult to determine the
amount of culture for the head and
heart. Tho recitation is tho teach
er's opportunity to teach the great
est of all lessons how to live. It is
tho time in which to cultivate a
tasto for the beautiful iu nature
which pervades the whole universe,
and to mark the deep aud subtile
distinctions between right aud
wrong. Tho strength, the peculiar
ities and duration of character, rest
upon that of the individual who
composes it. The foundations of
character must be laid in youth. We
are suffering to-day from a spirit
that shuts out all moral obligations,
and regards not the rights of others.
Morals, as such, must be the centre
of auy education scheme. It is im
possible to indicate the methods by
which those lessons may be incul
cated. Thcso virtues must be em
bodied in the teacher, and radiate in
rays of light. The public schools
should be long enough and wide
enough to embrace tho knowledge
of morality aud truth.

which some common table salt has
been added. The water is well boil

It is said that St. Louis has the
politest lawyer in the country. A
long aud terrific poal of thunder had
stopped him in tho midst of an ad

Dr. I5..I. Kendall .fc Co.,(5ent:-l had
a very valuable Haiiiblctniithui colt
which I prized very highly; he had a
large bone spuinou one joint ami a
smaller one on the other which made
him very lanm; I had him under the
charge of two Veterinary Surgeons
which failed to cure him. I was one
day reading the advertisement of Ken
duirs Spavin Cure in the Chicago Ex
press, 1 determined at once to trv it
and got our Druggist here to send" for
it, they ordered three bottles; 1 took
them all aud thought I would give it a
thorough trial, I ued it according to
directions and by the fourth day the
colt ceased to be lame, aud the lumps
had entirely disappeared. I used but
one bottle and the colts limbs are as free
from lumps and as smooth as any horse
in the State. He is entirely cured. The
cure was so reuiarkible that J let two
of my neighbors have the remaining two
bottles, who are now using it. Very
Respectfully, L. T. Fostkis.
