Malaria

Literally means bad air. Poisonous
germs arising from low, marshy land, or
from decayed vegetable matter, are
breathed into the lungs, taken up by the
blood, and unless the vital fluid is puri-
fed by the use of a good medicine like
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the unfortunate VIC
tim is soon overpOwered. Even in the
most advanced cases, where the terrible
fever prevails, this successful medicine
has effected remarkable cures. Those
who are exposed to malarial or other
poisons should keep the blood pure by
taking Hoods Sarsaparilla.

DEATH OF RANDALL.

FIVE years Of a doubtful tenure Of
life, which, during the last two, was
precarious, has brought what has
been SO long feared and threatened,
the death of Samuel Jackson Ran
dali. He passed away at an early
hour yesterday morning, at his
home in Washington. His health
failed about five years ago, but fol-
three years was not 80 feeble as 70
prevent him from attending 70 his
duties a portion Of the time. Fol
two years, however, he has not been
able TO give much attention to lpub-
lie affairs, though he retained his
seat in Congress till his death.
For long term Of years Samuel
J. Rainfall presented to the world
the remarkable example Of an &C.
knowledged leadero a great political
party who was at war with that
party in respect 10 one Of its most
vital doctrines. That he should 50
long have welded 50 strong q con-
tro! over the Democratic party while
al the same time antagonizing it in
the national legislature, in respect %
cert ain objects which, IS a party, j;
manifested n determined policy to
secure, il a marvel difficult to ac-
count for, but proving one thing 70
a demonstration: Randall was q
wonderfully AIDE leader Of men. He
could not otherwise have retained
his leadership Of thuse against V bom
he constantly placed himself in op.
position.
Randall wss a thorough Demo
Graz, but he was also a de.
termined aud persistent advocate
Of protection. Tie held around him
in Congress a small following Of
protectionist Democrats, but he and
they were but a handful compared
to the mass Of Democratic members
On fiscal questions he fought hi:
party, but on all others lie led il.
Randall was born in Philadelphia
October 10, 1925, and was conse.
quenly in his sixty-second year
His father was Democratic lawyer
and politician. He was elected foul
times TO the city council of his ma
tive city, and was next sent 10 tn,
State Senate. Next he was elected
te the lower house OF Congress, il
which be took his seat near the
close Of 1853, and ever since thai
time he has represented in that
body the ouly Democratic district
in Philadelphia. He has served Oh
the most important committees o.
the House, ami in 1915 became
chairman OF that on appropriations
This position enabled him e
execute some or his plans for cur
taiiment Of public expenditures, ana
he gained much credit for his effort.
in the direction Of economy. In
1879 he became Speaker and was
twice reelected to that position
serving until March s, 1851.
Its popularity believed that had If
not been for his views on the tariff.
he would have received the demo,
cratic nomination for President in
1875. There IS no doubt that he was
one Of the ablest and purest Of the
present generation OF American
statesmen.

He Lost HI. Head.

SAGINAW, Mich, April 1.-THE
acciuent 10 the steamer Handy Boy
yesterday seems 10 have been the
result Of gross negligence. The man
at the wheel was inexperienced.
The current carried the boat along 20
rapidly that he lost his head ut the
decisive moment and turned the
wheel in the wrong direction. In
his excitement he then tried 10
signal the engineer to stop, but in-
stead signalled, eco ahead, full
speed" The boat struck the bridge.
All the upper works and passengers
were swept into the river. Many
were rescued by the small craft
pulling out from the shore, but some
were lost. The number is believed
TO be seven, but as no bo,iies have
been recovered, it is impossible to
say with any certainty. Twelve or
fifteen persons were slightly injured.
The wheelman, fireman and en-
gineer are under arrest, but Captain
DOlsen made mis- way ashore imme-
diately after the accident, and has
not yet been apprehended.

The Negro in Massachusetts.

A Boston paper resurrects rather a
curious Int Of history to
show that a oolored man was once
elected 10 Office in Massachusetts,.
This occurred as far back as 1870, in
the little town of Townsend. AT
the town meeting asSut twenty alb
olitionists held the balance Of power,
and would vote for neither party
candidate. Finally both Wings and
Democrats got mad and united to
elect negro to the leg stature in or
der TO punish the aboli,ionists. But
though elected, the negro did not
take his seat Public sentiment
would not allow him TO do so.
Townsend went unrepresented in
the legislature that year.-AHdRta
