It is stated that a nun of Kemnare, in Ireland, an invalid for years, was carried during mass before the altar and received communion, after which she got up and knelt, a thing she had not, done in nine years. Many priests and hundreds of people were present. The Daily News, in its article on Nov. 24 on the Guiteau trial, says:—"lt seems obvious that the question of Guiteau'e sanity and responsibility is a matter of wordchopping and of psychological oasuistry. Guiteau is perfectly well aware of the nature of the act. We might say that Guiteau was orazed, just as so many people are called oraoked who ere yet acknowledged to be fit to control their own affairs. If Guiteau is declared insane a vast number of people like him, feather-brained, conceited fools, will Justly infer that they, too, may indulge in eeoen- , trieaties and murder."
