The Assassin and His Wife.
Mrs. Theodore Duumire, the divorced wif» of Guiteau, publishes a card in relation to th< visit of herself and her husband to the assassin. She says: As we entered the jail he advanced, and, shaking hands, received us very politely. I inquired if he was feeling well, and remarked, ali-0, that he had grown much thinner and looked a good deal older titan when I last saw, him. In reply he said his health was. good. ; Guiteau then inquired the ages of my children, and first stooped and kissed my 3-year-old boy, who was standing near him, and then kissed my little girl, whom I was holding, and then remarked they were nice children. My husband, who was standing near him during th« interview, then said quite impressively, addressing the prisoner, “I am sorry, Guiteau, to see you, or any other man, in tbe condition you are in.” The prisoner, smiling sadly, replied, “The Almighty will protect me.” Th# prisoner then said he was glad to know that I was well and comfortably settled in life, and ■aid : “Annie, I wish you much prosperity. I wish you well.” Some remarks were then made with reference to the climate of Leadville, where we reside. Mr. Duumire then.shook hands and said: “Good-by, Guiteau, it is not likely that we shall meet again.” To which he politely bowed I then hade mm good-1 y, and remarked : “Ja makes me exceedingly sorry to meet you nnder these sad circumstance when the prisoner smiled in a subdued manner and said : “ Annie, the Almighty will protect me.” We then quiets ly withdrew, leaving the prisoner alone with his God. The Albany (N. Y.) Press and Knickerbocker says : “ The largest following we know of to-day is that of St. Jacobs Oil; for where St. Jacobs Oil is, there rheum#., tism ia not. ”
