MIR. RINDALL'S CONDITION,
1t IL Thought to BE Critical -lIopefulness
Of Ills Friends,

1t is Thought to BE Critlcnl-IIopcfulne ness
of Ills Friends.
- WASHINGTON, Feb 9.-The papers OF
this city publish statements concerning
Congressman Samuel J. Randall's health.
They say that he is wonderfully im-
proved and has recovered from the de-.
pressing effects OF the last two or three
days. These statements are identical
with those obtained at Mr.. Raudall's
house tonight. NotwithstaDding them,
however. there is II well-defined impress
sion that he is very sick man. During
the last few days he had suffered a re-
lapse, and, although is, as stated, better
today, it has left him in a very weak
condition. 1t is said, in fact, that his
condition is such as to cause his friends
the grayest alarm.
They are averse to saying anything
about his sickness for publication, be.
cause Mr.. Randall persists in reading
the newspapers, and the paragraphs he
sees there referring 10 his growing
feebleness irritates and depresses him.
For this reason any information coming
from the house is apt to be couched in
perhaps too roseate terms. DR.. Lincoln,
his physician is very reticent, and while
not saying that his patient.is better in
SO many words, corroborates the gener-
ally hopeful statements issued from
Mr.. Randall's house. From the best in
formation obtainable, however, it is safe
to say that Mr.. Randall is in quite criti.
cal condition., and the next few days
may settle the question OF life or death.
LATER.
Representative Randall has been again
confined to his bed for several days, but
is now resting more comfortable than
during most OF the past week. He was
worse than usual on Thursday and Friday
last and WAS depressed in spirits, but is
at present brighter and more cheerful.
He had several attacks OF chills during
the week and these, in his enfeebled
condition, completely prostrated him
and prevented him from sitting up any
longer. It is hard for him to rally from
these attacks, which leave him emaciated
and weak, but his determination aids
him in renewing his strength.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 0.-The second big ho-
tel failure in week occurred yesterday,
and if the panic continues there will be
no accommodations for the Worlds Fair
visitors'in 1892. The Planters House,
the oldest and most famous hotel in the
city, was closed by the Sheriff. On
Tuesday the Merchants Hotel, another
old landmark, was closed in the same
way. Friday night Joseph Gerardi, the
lessee Of the Planters House, executed
two deeds Of trust on the furniture and
fixtures Of the hotel to his wife and
cousin. ,.'i
He was then behind some $4,000 in
rent, and Saturday morning the owners
OF the property secured IN attachment,
and the Sheriff did the rest. The
Planters House was built in 1886, and
has about 800 rooms. 1t was leased for
$4,000 a year, and the lessee has one
year to run. The Planters. House was

II feel that wish to tell what has been
done for US and our little boy BY Hoods sar-

was one mass Of sores all the time. The
scrofula was especially severe on his legs and

was % matted that combing was sometimes
impossible. His ears became 10 thin that We
could see through them, and were actually
AFRAID THEY WOULD DROP OFF.
uIs legs were 90 bad that sometimes he could
not sit down, and Il was impossible fol him to
run about and play like other children. Ere
quently when he tried TO walk, his leg would
crack open and the blood start from different
places. The humor had very offensive odor,
and caused intense itching, 80 that at night
we had to tie his hands IN mittens or stockings
to prevent his scratching and tearing himself.
We cannot tell
now THAT POOR BOY SUFFERED
for nearly Ave years. nor how his terrible con-
dition distressed us. We did all we could 70
relieve him. Twoor three physicians agreed in
calling It scrofulous humor, but did not effect

other things but without beneft. At last
decided to give him Hoods Sarsaparilla, as

Ing for Illicit distilleries. They came 70
the farm of Mr.. Alexander, an old man
who has passed the eightleth mile post on
the road of life. The officers, going over
his land. found blockade still In full
blast, but no one was visible. They went
to work, chopped up the still and poured
the beer aud slops out on the ground. The
law presumes the owner of the land on
which a blockade still is running knows
all about it, and hence 1t holds him re-
eponsible unless he can prove himself
innocent
After destroying the still the officers
went to the house of old man Alexander
and arrested him on charge of illicit dis
filling. His aged wife took his arrest very
much to heart, but the old man bore It
stOically, and was marched off with the
officers. They had not proceeded far be-
fore a young man, almost a beardless boy,
overlook them, breathless with running to
catch up with the men who were carrying
the old man away as prisoner. On reach
ing them he said his name was Robert A.

son. lie begged the officers not to take his
father to Atlanta, for the old man, he said,
know nothing about the still 1t was his
property he had been running 1t without
the knowledge of his father, and he did not
want his father to suffer for what he had
done.
At this statement the United States off,
GERS released the old man and brought the
son to Atlanta and put him in Jail. After
b,ing there day or two he went before
Judge Newman and pleaded guilty to the
charge of illicit distilling, repeating the
story told to the officer. Judge Newman
sentenced him to pay a fine of 800 and to
serve two months in Jail. His two months
have just expired, but according to law
he had another month to serve in lieu of
the 500.
Judge Newman has determined to
modify the sentence on account of the
young mans chivalrous conduct, and has
written an order setting him at liberty. He
will return to his old parents In White
saws he is done with illicit whisky. and
will never make another drop as long as
