d S——- HE OMAHA DAILY BEE ELEVENTH YEAR. “YOU CAN'T DO IT.” When we came to Omaha to intro- dnce the DUKE OF DURHAM Ci- suytm, some people said, ‘‘You ean’t doit,” as 0 many others have tried it and failed, and the trade are dis- gusted, etc. We never had any doubt that the DUKE OF DUREATI(HN ette would meet with popular favor and sell rapidly, knowing it to be made of the BEST North Carolina Tobacco, wrapped with the BEST rice gnllzer. and ABSOLUTELY free of JGS. You see, we give consumers credit for knowing a good thing when they have tried it, and then we thought how comfortable the feeling (|:'hen enjoying a leisure smoke) TO {NOW that you are not absorbing injurious drugs. Ve are mutually interested in this matter of pure Cigarettes. If the DUKE OF DURHAM are the PUR- EST and BEST, of course, you will continue to use them; if not, you wont. So we concluded to call your attontion to them through the news- papers and tell you frankly all about them, and induce you to try them and then let them speak for themselves. We know those are pleased who have tried them, as they continue to buy them, and we are getting most flatter- ing reports from dealers as well as con- sumers, We promised more reports from dealers yesterday, but we met with one who cooled our arder tem- porarily. Guess it will be no harm to tell what he said, but we withhold hus name, streot and number. ,‘Haven’t got them; don’t want them, and lh-gll not keep them. Can buy — — —— and —— Cigarettes for 50c per 1,000 less and —— Cigarettes for :lfl per 1,000 less than the E)‘UKE, and I can retail them at same price of the Duke.” Weli, we have somewhat recovered, and since we have thought the matter over don't feel much worried, as he doesn’t selljmany,and his limited sales will not affect us much. We appre- hend that it's because he does not keep the'best,but instead tries to palm off an nferior article at same price, that his trade is so small. With this exception, we find moet of the trade difl;oued to handle the DUKE OF DURHAM Cigarettes and Tobacco because they ARE the BEST and PUREST on the market. Consumer, if you have not tried them yet, you should drop in the first store and buy a package.

Farther Evidence éf the Sanity of the Assdasin. National Associated Press,d WasniNgToN, December 20.—Gui- teau, after examining the dock, showed satisfaction that mo one was behind and no one mear him except officers and counsél. . He said: “Coming up in the van from the prison this morning, I hoticed that the usual _policemen were - withdrawn, Now I want to say emphatically that if I was turned loose to-morrow I can take care of myself, but as long as I am in the custody of this court and its officers they are bound to take care of me. There is & gl‘t deal more danger of my being shot coming from the prison than anywhere else and I ask for the usual number of officers for my- protection. The cranks are not all dead yet, thoughtheyare dying rapidly. [Laughter ] ¥ got fifty lot- ters yesterdny, most of them from lymputhizinfl peosle want- ing my autograph an hopi:fl for my acquittal, but oné crank is that 18 necessary to do the business. Iam always quiet when not abused. I have the record of baing a perfect gentleman. They think I am a great man and a good fellow, ybut when I come into court I am al and villi- fied. No human being ¢an stand it and I will defend myself. Dr. Callender was recallpd. Guiteau said if the marshal did not do his duty some crank would shoot him. He did not believe he would hit him, but might hit some person else and asked that some- other mar- shal be appointed. Corkhill replied that he believed the people of the country would allow the trial to proceed to a legitimate end. Guiteau answered that h¢ would be all right if there were no cranks ahout. Scoville submitted a mbtion that on account of the length of the trial the jurors be permitted to go to their houses and reliance be. placed upon their honor, The court decided to take the matter into consideration. Scoville began to read a letter by Guiteau to Senator Oameron, written ten days ago, in order to get l?f: viaws of the witnesa W » m‘&n‘lu i beedrrie farious and said he simply asked Senator Cameron to lend him a hundred- dollors and gave the letter to his brother John, who be- trayed him and gave it to Scoville. He said his brother was a perfect nui- sance and that between them there ‘was no fraternal feeling and had been none for years. He said: “I had always associated with high-toned gentlemen in theology like Moody and Pentecost; in politics, like Grant and Conkling;” but that his relations were crowding into the case to get notorie- ty. He repudiated the entire crew and wanted them all, including Sco- ville, to get out. The foliowing is the letter which was read: “DeAR SENsTOR—I am on trial for my hfe, and I need money. I am a stalwart of the stalwarts, and so are you. You think a great deal of General Arthur, and so do I My inspiration made him president, and I am going to ask you to lend me five hundred dollars. If I get out of this I will return it. If not, charge it to the stalwarts. Yours for our cause, and very cordially, (Signed) “Gurreau.” Witness said the letter was consist- ent with a good many of Guiteau's acts and utterances and previous life, and like his importunities to many, was no indication of unsoundness of mind. Guiteau again abused Scoville, and Corkhill said if he continued with interruptions, he would move to have the dock placed in another part of the room. . Scoville said petulantly he could move him in his cell if he pleased. The next witness was Dr. Walter Kempster, superintendent of the in- sane asylum at Winnebago, Wis. His evidence was confined to comparison of craniums of various important people with that of Guiteau, as indi- cating that malformation is not evi- dence of insanity, Bob Ingersoll’s chart showed a big bulge on one side, and Guiteau's showed that Ingersoll and he were both badly cranked. Witness said the difference between an_ ordinary insane delusion and & belief in special di- ving commands was that the lpsmh of the former was slow and gradnal, while the latter was almost instantaneous as was the act. The energy, force and rapidity with which people acted under the latter delusion was almost beyond descrip- tion. The claim that act of alleged inspiration sprang from a political situation was the best evidence the actor could furnish that he was not sane. The expression, divine pres- sure, the witness had never heard be- fore applied to insane delusion, Wit- ness said the hypothetical questions described a sane man, After recess, Guiteau asked for pen and paper to answer his letters in court; which was granted. The examination of Dr. Kimpster was continued, He said Guiteau told him in jail that his inspiration to re- move Garfield was somewhat the same as that which prompted him to join the Oneida community, start the Theocrat, and write the truth, only that it came on more slowly and that when he shot Garfield he was legally insane and the inspiration was prompted by articles in the news- papers denouncing the president, and that if he could get the jury to believe he was acting under inspiration when he fired the shot they would relieve him of the responsibility. Witness did not agree with Spitzka that Gui- teau had » malformed head. Thought he had & well-shaped head of fine size; there was nothing unusual in the ex- ression of his face. I think Guiteau as been feigning insanity. When Km\ple came on the stand with whom © has beenacquainted he greets them as good fellows, and when their testi mony qroe- against him he abuses them. The prisoner in my opinion is unsuccessfully endeavoring to simu- late insanity. Guiteau said: I see by my letters that the people are beginring to ad- dress me as Hon. Charles Guiteau. I have a letter from a gentleman who says he has thirty-eight instances of specific inspirations from the Bible in which Almighty God directed people to kill other pn-u)lwlo. and he said he can find more. I have also a letter from a doctor in Chicago who says a lady cousin is expecting a “baby, and if it is a boy she intends to call him Gniicau rather than Garfield. [Laugh- ter. Reed cross-examined the witness at length, and repeatedly trod on the corn of Porter, who accused him of deliberately and repeatedly misrepre- senting the statement, of Dr. Kemp- ster in order to get an admission that he believed in moral insanity. There was quite a scene here. Porter de- claimed in tragical fashion, and the prisoner mocked him over and over ain, much to the annoyance of the district attorney. The court hiad at last to intertere, and direct the case to proceed Porter. objected to almost every question put and the prisonerat last shouted excitedly, when the judge said the case should get to the j:’?' some time—*‘‘If you are getting tired, Porter, withdraw the indictment and lot us go home. Iam tired of it. [Laughter.] You know you have no case and that's the reason you are so fussy this afternoon.” The cross-examination of the wit- ness was not finished when ceurt ad- journed until to-morrow morning. Dr. Gray, superintendent of the state lunatic asylum of New York, will be examined to-morrow, and his evidence will close the government's onse. In answer to inquiry regarding the order of closing, Corkhill said: ‘‘Mr. Davidge will make the opening speech for the government, then I suppose Mr. Scoville will follow; I don’t know whether Mr. Reed will sruk or not; Judge Porter will then close the case. don’t expect to speak unless the question of jurisdic- tion is raised, on which I am prepared to say something, That question was thought to be a great question at firat, "buz it seems to be lost sight of now. Mr, Reed received a letter to-day from Jacksouville, saying: ‘‘Dr. prland has n.t'shd m!mbon of e (‘ult-u family; is a ¢ exv pert;’ beheves him insane. You re- member him in the Hopps case. Sub- peena him here.” Reed will endeavor to have McFarland subpanaed, CAPITAL NOTES. National Associated kress.

National Associated Press. New York, December 20.—The Mail and Express this afternoon pub- Jishes in response to the recent at- tacks made upon Cyrus W. Field, Jay Gould, Russell Sage and others; the opinions of Ex-Judge Dillon, David Dudley Field, Edwin R. Bacon, Alexander & Green, Ex-Judge Com- stock, Judge Westbrook, .Judge Truax, Judge Blatchford, Judge Davis, Judee Lawrence, Judge Daniel, Judge Brady, et al., to the effect that the recent negotiation in regard to the elevated railway is en- dorsed by Messrs. Alexander & Green, The opinion of Ex-Judge Dillon is very exhaustive and covers all points presented within the case. He supports in every respect the ac- tion taken as of right and law. Edi- torially, The Mail and Express say they have taken painsto procure these opinions in order that final answer might be made to the publications of disappointed stock speculators. At the same time, the opinion is that matters were strictly in accordance with the letter and spirit of the laws both special and general. The va- rious authorities quoted refer to the statutes in support of the arguments made and decision rendered, and concur in the the decision that the action taken in corcordance therewith was because of the direction of the state statutes. The opinion of Ex-Judge Comstook is endorsed by Hon. W. Swayne, and the opinions from Field and Bacon, of this nature, are of private rather than public interest, r, Field in person declines te be interviewed or express any opinion regarding the affair, as does also Mr. Gould, Tale of a Diamond.

Auctioneering of a Smuggled Bridal Outfit, Ship Chandlers and Junk Dealers Buy Up Goods Appraised at 86.000 for 81,500 New York, Decomber 24.—For the past two days a rare collection of all that is beautiful in the fomale oye was on exhibition in the auction room at Burling sip. Tt was a bride's trous- seau. Last month when the steam- ship Scythia of te Cunard line arrived at this port, among the passengers was Mr. Joseph Leopold, a wealthy gentleman of Rlil\\nukt-. In the four trunks which constituted his luggage Mr. Leopld had packed a lot of costly articles ~ which he intended to distribute among ~ his children and relatives, The bulk of their contonts was for his daughter Rachel, who was about to assume the responsibilities of matrimony. A sympathetic and, as it is alleged, a corrupt custom house ofticer allowed the property to be conveyed to the Prescott House without the tormality of exacting the customary duties. Mr. A, G. Voight, a custom house in- spector, called at the hotel and asked to see an inventory of Mr. Leopold's baggage. The result of the inspec- tion was that two trunks were ro- manded to the custody of the United States marshal to be sold. A HANDSOME OUTFIT, At noon yesterday a motley crowd gathered in the auction room. Uess than a dozen representatives of the fair sex wore present, and they were generally un-yrwlhatic and decidedly businesslike. e catalogue included sixty numbers, representing nearly overy article of female apparel and home embellishmenta. here were dresses, shawls, a sealskin circular, children's dresses, ladies’ wrappers, skirts, parasols, kid gloves with from three to eight buttons, silk stockings, lece handkerchiefs, ties, collars and shawls, corsets, napkins, tablecloths and other parapher- nalin of housekeeping. All the table linen, the embroidered and homatitched handkerchiefs and some of them,embossed monograms of members of tho Leopold fnmil{. They were exposed in glass cases—tho only ornaments which relieved the gloomi- ness of the store. The buyers were principally ship chandlers, cotton merchants, shipping men, junk deal- ers, eligible young men with domestic bliss in prospect, ten dealers, fruit men and men generally who do busi- ness near the East River. The ladies were for the most part ornamental, occasionally giving an opinion as to the use and value of certain artiocles, of which the auctioneer expressed a profound ignorance. A BACHELOR BUYS A MAGNIFIOENT i JROBE, } 8ix music books, the first Tot, went for $1.124 each. -In rapid succession the table linen and embroidersd and hemstitched handkerchiefs were dia- | in posed of for less than cost. A lot of oint and Limerick lace mounchoirs rought from $2.76 to 83 50; lace collars of fine workmanship were sac- rificed at from $1 to $7; a black lace shawl brought $25; lace caps, aprons and wnstlets were sacrificed;a pair of elegant black silk corsets realized $4.50, a_sum greatly under their real value; $3.50 per pair was the valua- tion placed upon five pairs of fine silk stockings; $1.30 per pair was aid for twenty-two pairs of adies’ three-button kid gloves; two lots of four-tutton gloves brought $1.26 and $1.374 respective- ly, and six pairs of gentlemen'’s gloves were captured for $1 per pair. The first ruu‘ buzz of excitement occurred when Mr, Burdett gingerly held up a maroon velvet dress trimmed with point lace, a beautiful garment, which lmd been appraised at 8350, plus the duty of 60 per cent One of the lady spectators, who had been feating her eyes upon its glorious richness, offered $100 to start it. To the surprise of many it was knocked down for $1756 to Kir. Martin Hernin, a bache- lor ship-chandler, of South street, His intimate friends expressed the hope that it would match the rospective Mrs. Hernin's face when Ker flov‘r’lul lord confronted her after he had spent a night with his old companions. A black satin dress, heavily trimmed with bead passemen- terie and Mechlin lace, with waist to match and adjustable train, were pur- chased by Mr. Lawrence for $125. The appraised valuation was $300, with the addition of 60 per cent. duty; a sacque of the same workmanship brought $60, and a similarly made dolman was sold for $34, less than half its alleged value. ALMOST GIVEN AWAY, The other garments, which were almost given away, were a plum col- ored satin dress, worth $220, for 881; a blue cashmere wugp«r, trimmed with lace, for $35; a child’s dress of blue silk, lace trimmed, $21; a silk trimmed walking dress, $22. The piece de resistance was & white bro- cade satin wedding dress, garnitured with Mechlin lace, a perfect marvel of the dress maker's art, An_ invol- untary “Oh, my, isn't it too sweet for anything!” escaped from the lips of the ladies, and the horney-handed men crowded each other to catch a glimpse of its immaculate sheen. Mr. Leopold’s daughter would have felt a tugging at her heart strings had she seen the avidity with which it was exchanged for $160, which Mr. Isaac Hall, pro- prictor of the battery baths, deposited with the auctioncer. It was consider- ed to be worth 8040, with the duty added. A superb sealskin dolman, with bugle ornaments, was sold for $200, The remainder of the articles bmuf;ht fairprices. Theresult of the sale was less than $1,600 for articles worth, by government appraisement, with the l.i.\llt(lddad, about $6,000. Mr. Voight id that Mr. Leopold could have re- leased hhliooda on payment of the duties, which amo This Mr, Leopold declined to do, as Mr. Voight alleged, fearing that he would bonmwT Thia is the first time in the history of custom house soizures that such an elaborate trous- seau has been placed under the ham- mer for non-payment of duties.
