SAMUEL j, RANDALL.

His Death Occurs at u ashington.-Brie
Sketch of His Life.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 1a.-Hon.
at 5 o'clock a. M, Of internal abcess.
Samuel jackson Randall was born in
Philadelphia Oct. 10, 1928. He came
into public life at very early age as
Democrat, and has never since been re-
tired even temporarily. He was first
elected to congress in 1862. He COM
menced his congressional life in Decem-
Der, 1868, in the Thirty-eighth congress
lin which Hon. James G. Blaine served
his first term) only two years after his
Did friend, but political opponent Of
thirty years standing, the late William
D. Kelley, had commenced career in
congress that lasted nearly thirty years.
Mr.. Randall was returned at every sue
ceeding election, and at the time of his
death had served twenty-six years in
congress, or through thirteen congress-
les. He was elected for a fourteenth
term, but, though he took the oath
and qualified as member, he was not
able, because of failing health, to
take his seat in the present congress.
Mr.. Randall was candidate for speaker
Of the Forty-fourth congress in 1875, but
was defeated by Hon. Michael C. Kerr,
by whom he was appointed chairman Of
the committee on appropriations. At
the second session of the same congress
Mr.. Randall was chosen for speaker
Mr.. Kerr having died during the recess.
Mr.. Randall was reelected speaker in
the forty-fifth congress by the Demo-
Gratis in 1877. BY reason of long service
and close attention to his duties, Mr..
Randall became the most expert parlia-
mentarian on the Democratic side of
the house. In familiarity with the
rules and all branches of the parliament
tary law, he perhaps had no superior in
either party; and as far back as 1875,
when the great contest over the force
bill took place at the close of the Forty
third congress, Mr.. Randall was by COM
mon consent, assigned the leadership Of
the Democratic minority.

AN ALARM BOTTLE FOR polsoNS.

a Chicago man has invented u
bottle stopper to be used exclusively
for poisons. The superiority over
the old.fashioned article lies in the
construction of the stopper. The
projection which enters the neck of
the bottle is ground glass with
small hole in one side, through which
protrudes n little rod or trigger. The
top of the stopper is covered with a
small bell enclosing the cog wheels,
which are so arranged that when the
stopper is removed the bell will ring.
When it is laid down it rings again,
and when returned 10 its place in
the bottle it again sounds an alarm.
The mechanism is so arranged that
it is absolutely impossible to remove
or replace the stopper without first
ringing the bell, thus making it
impossible for druggist, if he is
careful IN the filing of his bottles,
to deal out poison in the place of
harmless drugs without receiving n
warning as to the dangerous nature
of the preparation. - Boston Jour
nal OF Commerce.

The law says that the Tramways
Company shall "at their own cx-
pense maintain the surface Of the
street or bridge flush with the rail
surface OF their road, both between
the rails thereof. and for n distance
of not less than two feet on the out
side of each Of such rails, and also
the entire space between the tracks
where it has more than one track. y
1t is easy to comply with the law
where the streets are kept up TO the
regular grade, but where they are
allowed to wear down considerably
below it the Tramways people have
Il hard task TO perform. At the pre-
sent time there are many places
where the streets are so reduced be-
low the established grade that it is n
difficult and costly undertaking to
keep two feet on the outer sides OF
the tramway rails punched up so
high above the adjoining portion of
the roadway.

the DeAD-BEAT ARMY.

Society does not exactly commend
the dead beat, but it does tolerate
him in fashion which is an cncour-
agement to him. 1t treats him rs II
joke for the most part. His swim
dies are laughed at and his victims
dcridcd for their credulity. Men
and women of exemplary habits and
q holy horror of convicted telons cX-
tend their hands to him and associ-
ate with him the same rs if he were
model of integrity. They know
that he never pays his debts and
that loan made to him is simply
so much money thrown away.
Nevertheless, they recognise him
socially and give him to understand
that they are blind to his faults and
in sympathy with his theory that
the world owes him living on his
own terms. There is no disgrace
attached to his plan of existence.
lie must not steal in a common,
vulgar style and get himself sent to
Jail or the pcntcntiary; but he may
peculate as much rs he pleases in
his characteristic way and the COM
munity will not turn its back upon
him.
Possibly the time is coming when
another policy will Ge adopted in
this matter. 1t seems reasonable to
believe that society will some day
tire Of the task Of supporting n
class Of professional dlones, and at
least manifest its disapproval of
them and their doings by ceasing to
accord them those marks OF attcn-
ton which do not in any proper
sense belong TO them. They cost
honest people millions of dollars
every year, and set an example of
idlcness and dishonesty that is 4
national scandal. We can meyer
abolish them, perhaps, bnt we can
refuse to treat them as if their
frauds were pardonable, and thus
discrcdit them where they are now
gracously smiled upon. 1t is not
always in the power Of debtor to
fulfil his pledges and a failure to do
so does not necessarily imply rascal
ity. But the dead-beats are an Or
der Of debtors who have no excuse
TO plead for their shortcomings.
They incur obligations for the eX-
press purpose of repndiating them |;
and that is something which annuls
all claims to rcspcctability.- Globe

NOTES FROM FRESNO, CAL.

EDITOR BuLLETIN:--
Allow me to introduce to the read
crs of your paper this fast growing
city and county.
We are pleasantly located in the
great San Joaquin Valley, midway
between San Francisco and Los
Angeles. This county is the COM
ing raisin centre Of California.
There are several former llonOlu-
luans now located here, some inter-
cstcd in grape, stock and grain rails
i ng, and all seem to be conteDtcd
and doing splendidly.
The amount of raisins dried and
cured each year is steadily increas-
ing, and the crop of the coming sea-
son promises to greatly exceed that
ot last year, rs younger vineyards
are maturing. There are several
thousand acres OF land now under
cultivation for that purpose. On
The outskirts of the city there are
several vineyards which are devoted
expressly TO raising raisin grapes,
the largest to my knowledge being
$40 acres, or one mile square. The
weather being very pleasant now,
everyone is very busy putting their
land under thorough cultivation,
and the surrounding country pre-
scnts scene of animation. The
fruit orchards also present Il pleas
ing sight in full bleom; but the
early blossoms were somewhat in
Jured by the late frost, coming
rather unexpectedly this season of
the year.
The weather through the summer
is so even and very dry that the
grapes are almost entirely dried by
natural process, requiring from nine
TO fifteen days to properly dry the
grapes, when they are ready for the
packers. With them they are put
through sweating process and then
are ready to pack for shipment. The
cultivation of vineyard and pre-
pairing grapes for raisins ready Tor
export, is an interesting study for
the agriculturist. FREssIrE

Notwithstanding the precaution
taken by Mr.. Levey to prevent per-
sons procuring tickets for the Mi
kado performance and then selling
them at an advanced price, it would
appear that some "sharpers' have
succeeded all the same. Tickets
were gobbled yesterday by some
young men to the full number al
lowed, and sold or offered for sale
at 81 80 each. This is q contempt

Many of the properties on the up
per side of King street, between
Thomas Square and the Rifle Range,
were under water most of Wedncs-
day, as a result Of the heavy early
morning rain. If proper provision
had been made, when that street
was being Constructed, for the es-
cape of storm water, the residents
Of that locality would no. be liable
to the annoyance and damage which
every heavy rainfall now subjects
them to. The roadway being raised,
in many places, above the adjoining
lands, with no culvcrts crossing it
or drain running parallel with it,
serves as dam to hold the water
back. When that portion of King
street was constructed, which is not
long ago, our road authorities appa-
rcntly had not learned that drainage
and provision for the escape of
storm water are Fundamental con-
siderations in connection with road
making. If that lesson, which the
BULLETIN has essayed time and
again to hammer into their skulls,
is now impressed upon their minds
by natures teaching of the last
month or two, we may hope for i'm
provement in new operations. If
not, we shall have to endure repeti-
tiOns of the same hlundpr.

A Herculean Task.

Queen Victoria has undertaken the
greatest task of her life. She has
announced her intention of thoroughly re.
forming the nobility, and has issued an
edict that noble gamblers and libertines
must be excluded from polite society
until :such time as they shall manifest a
disposition to reform. Even then they
will receive but partial recognition, being
received back to the fold on probation.
There is no class in the world that needs
reformation more than the English arts.
tocracy. There is no more profligate and
dissolute class in the world than these
noblemen, many of whom are a disgrace
to mankind. 1t is doubtful if even
ostracism from the royal favor will result
in correcting the vileness of their
natures. Equity.

Cost Of Advertising.


No matter how much advertising pays
it certainly costs. A single page in an
issue of the Century, taken for advertis.
ing purposes, costs $500; in Harper's,
$500 down to 500. A yearly advertise
ment in one column Of New York Herald
costs $50, 304 for the lowest end $3.50, 900
for the highest priced columns. These
figures will doubtless be of interest to
men who invest 81 and s3 per month and
Halter themselves with the idea that they
are extensive and liberal advertisers, and
that because Of their investment they
ought to control the columns and dictate
the course of the publication.
