RANDALL THE FAMOUS DEMOCRATIC STATES MAN BREATHE3 HI LAST. A ?ad aid Pathetic Bcete at the Dea'.fc- Bed. BAittTEL JACKSOX RAM)ALL. Samuel Jackson Eandall is dead. The great Democratic leader and statesman died at 3:04 o'clock in the morning at his home in Washington City. The end came peacefully while the distinguished sufferer was eur rounded by his Trite and children, Postmaster-General Wanamaker and his medical at tendants. Mr. Randall was a victim of canoer of the bowels. The malady seized him nearly two years ago, and his sufferings have been in tonso. On many occasions his death was thought to have "been a question of hours, but hia splendid physique enabled him to ward off the Inevitable. The story of tho sick-room and the death bed scene is a peculiarly pathetic one. There vras not a moment in the last three days, before his death, when it was not be lieved that Mr. Randall was at the point of death. All of the last night the patient was attacked frequently by sinking speLte. Fits of hiccoughing followed. Though unconscious a greater part of the time he was able to whisper his wants. Plum preserves appeared to relieve him. Just after 1 o'clock a. it. he was seized with a violent choking spasm. Postmaster -General Wana maker sat at the bedside at the time, and Dr. Mallen hastened to his aid. The physician removed a large piece of phlegm from the throat with his fingers, after which the pa tient breathed morerreely. From that hour un Mr. Randall's strength gradually failed. Mrs. Randall, her two sisters, Mrs. Hyatt and Mrs. Swann, the ex-Speaker's brother, Robert RaudaU, his daughters, Mrs. Lan caster and Miss Susie Randall, his son, Samuel J. Randall, Jr., and his son-in-law, C C. Lancaster, and the Postmaster-General gathered about the deathbed iust before 5 o'clock a. m. The patient convulsively seized Mr. Wanamaker's hand and pressed it with all the strength he possessed. Mrs. Randall completely overcome, knelt at the bedside and sobbed as if her heart would break. Sud denly Mr. Randall gasped. His devoted wife looked up. The dying husband and father for the la.st time recognized her, whispering the singlc'word. "Mother " and as he uttered the word his spirit had fled. Mrs. Randall fell back into tho arms of the Postmaster General and had to be carried from the room. As scon as the sad news reached the Capitol the Stars and Stripes were placed at half mast on the roof of the House. Early in the morning the President and Mrs. Harrison drove to t he Randall residence. Both did what they could to comfort the afflictei family. Vice-president and Mrs. Morton. Secretary and Mrs. Blaine, Secre tary Tracy ana other members of the Cabinet, as well as Senators and Representa tives, flocked to the house, but few were ad mitted, and those who were not simply left messages of sympathy. Mr. Randall came to Washington early in last November a 6ik man. but with hopes of improvement. He exjc,';d to be able to take his seat in the IIouss when Congress met in December; but when C"ngres3 convened he was unable to leave bisl nuir Subsequently the oath of office ss a J'u j-resoulative was ad ministered at hi- l esi iciKX' by Speaker Reed, and Mr. RaudaU was made a member of the Committees on Rules and Appropriations, the two imjjortant committee he had served on for many years-. Mr. Randall joined tho Presbyterian Chnrch about two months ago. Mr. Wana maker spoke to him on this subject, and Mx. Randall replied tk-u he had been thinking of this milter for so;ne tim and would like to becom a member of the Church. Ar rangements were made by which he enterM the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church, on Capitol Hill, Dr. Chester paster. Th news of the cx-Spaker's death spread rapidly about Washington, though it was Sunday morning, an 1 general grief and sym pathy were expressed tKth n and out of. po litical circles. .

The General is represented at the age of twenty, which was abot his age when he first et out for this country. He is standing, the left hand resting on his unsheathed sword, the right hand half extended. His cloak, hang: ing over his left arm, falls to the ground be hind him. He wears on his breast the decora tionsof the Society of the Cincinnati. A large cartouche ornaments the face of the pedestal, and encloses the inscription : "A Lafayette et a ses compagnons d'armes, l'Amerique reconnaissante." ' "To Lafayette and to his companions in arms, the gratitude of America.' The sculpture also includes two groups in bronze about ten feet high.

An interesting story coacsrniu the lepers of Tonking is brought by Dr. Hocquard, who recently returned to France from that far-away Asiatic coun try. The lepers there are kept in lare settlements near the larger towns. A Mandarin of "hirh ranic some tirrje ago 6ent invitations to all tie me rubers of his family to coojc together to cele brate au anniversary aad to oflcr up sacrifices to their ancestors. The chiel of the adjacent leper settlement, who had heard of the corning ceremony and family party, called unoa the 3Iandarin, and asked that the gatheriaj be made the occasion for givin; alms to the leper village.

Seed New iBr.tu, La, April 12. 1180. I have consulted those! of mj own household wboie business it istoprovidt for the in oar man, and find thu ia xnoit every case they use reSned cettoa seed oil instesd of ltrd. The only lard we use is that-made by ourselva. Bntr for all firing pnrposej cotton ssed oil it E referred, because it is pnre, clean and calthy. It cannot eome from diseaated source ; because it is cheaper by far thia the cheapest lard. Tsro-thrds of s gal lon of ell at 35 cents will do more work than one gallon of lard at 70 cents; aad then, strange to say, the same oil in which tou fry fish is strained off and used to fry Saratoga chips aad potatoes, then egaii strained off and used to fry sttak, or beef ttiw or mutton stjew, jst leaves no tasta of one in the otljer. Anything cooked with tbi oil has la nutty flavor which no other grease will; give. t?orne of our lady friends here us the oil for making bread, biscuit and pastry. but my wife don t like it; for that pur-. jMe, and therefore don't use it I bar iaAT raWia vn sr" a r mrA found it good. 1 ut the lsdies say that my taste is blunted by my interest in my oil mill. However that may be, the oil is used by our confectioners here for thai purpose, and they do a good business. Io v the secret of using this oil is to have it just as hot as fire; can make it without burning before you put anything in it to fry, and, if you jtrish to replen ish, don't ,do so until you have taken out of the 1 an whatever you are cooking, then put the fresh in and let it get hot; never put anything to copk in cold oil. Our Jewish friends here use the oil altogether. Their mode of preparing it lor cooking purposes and for lalad ou ia to put it on the tire, say a gallon at a nine, let it get pretty hot, just simmer ing, and then take a rawj onion about the size of a pige jn's egg pael it and drop it into the oil. Taicej the oil off the rire, let it cool with the onion in it, then draw off and bottle for isc. This pro 1 ess gives the oil very much the flavor of olive oil. I would like to tell you of a circum stance that took place at my mill. It sounds very much like a jfish story, yet on my word it is true.) A physician, ftiend of mine living in a town some 40 miles from here sent a young man to me with a note requesting that I would give him employment wbeiehe could get M inch oil ib he wanted. He stated that lie Lad done all in his line for the boy without avail, and as a last resort sent him to me with instructions to live on cotton-s.cd oil. Tho boy was to m mird nrcttv far gone with lunii an threat disease. He was feeble, had a bad cough, and expectorated freely. In fact, he w.is consumptive, and I didn't thinkwould live 6ix months. I put him in the mill at some light work, and told him to eat all the oil he wanted. In the course of a few weeks I noticed a preat change in him. HU cough had left him. He bad brightened up wondeifally,, and gained strength enough to begin to do heavier work. He had increased ia weight sotTla' he began to fill his Clothes wli ch we're, whan he cime to me, haog ing on hint dji pole. In a word, that boy workelwHb. me the season th-oukh," and w; S at that time to all ap pearances a well man. I saw him about a j ear later, strong and healthy. For over eight months ho had eaten nothing but baker's bread and cotton seed oil. This is a fact which Dr. Taylor, of Ope lomas, who sent him to me, will corrob orate .
