An Incident of HI* Canvass for tliu Sjienk-
erfthtp—IIU I jive of Domestic Life—A
Story of IMi*. Il.iinlall.
Since July of 1388 the sent of Phila-
delphia's popular congressman, who has
been called the "Great Commoner,' lias
licen vacant on account of the serious
illness of the incumbent, Mr, Randall
was regtil irly in his seat for twenty-live
years, or from the time of his lirst
election in. 1862 until his sudden illness
iu midsummer, 18*8. The history of tlie
ailments which h iv«* unfitted b:m for
Congressional duties is intimately con-
nected with his indefatigable labors as
a public man. Mr. Rind; II was made
speaker of the house in 1870-77, at the
time of tins'disputed election case be-
tween Hayes and Tilden, and he con-
tinued in that position five years, or
until 1881. when the opposition had the
majority. In the speaker's chair he
gained national prominence as a party
leader, and after leaving it h" retained
his position as a partv leader. With his
reputation as a worker, public; life could
not be a sinecure, and he devoted all his
energies to official work.
During thecongressioual recess of 1881-
85 Mr. Randall made a southern trip,
stopping at Lou svillo and Nashville,and
explorin ; the new iron developments in
northern Alabama. Throughout his ca-
reer in congress his status was that of a
growing man, and he he!' |«>.ilions on
every important eommitte •, and when-
ever n is party was in power was honored
with a chairmanship.
For m. nibs before his h >ti'th end* in
1888 llr. Ran tail's physi'-iu js ; dviscd
him of the dangers of overwork, and
wanted him to take a long rest. The

w a s a t
length brought to
a standstill by a
severe attack on
the night of July 10. I'or several weeks
following t is his case was very critical,
and was farther imperiled on election
day by his exposure in going to the polls
to cast his vote for Cleveland.
Mr. Randall's political work will best
be remembered by his position oil the
tariff. He was the leader of the con-
servative element of his party on this
issue, and about two months l> Tore he
was stricken down in 1888 made his
great speech on that question and one
thatmarks his tariff record.
Mr. Randall, as speaker of the house,
ruled with a heavy hand. An incident
of his canvass for the speakership shows
the character of the man, a character
that distinguished all his public career.
A railway magnate said to him: "Mr.
Randall, you want to be speaker. It is
in my power to elect whom I please,
and you know it. Allow me to name a
majority of the Pacific railroad com-
mittee a-nd you shall be the man. "Will
you do it?"
"No."
"Is that your last word?"
"Yes."
"Then yo'i will rot be speaker."
Rut he was. all the same.
Mr. Ramlnil legnn public life at, nn
earlv age. lie was born in Philadelphia
in 1828 and received academic and mer-
cantile training. lie was at the conven-
tion that nominated Ilnchauan. and was
a city councilman four term ; and niter-
ward state senator. As a member of the
famous Philadelphia "City Troop' he
volunteered for a campaign in ISiil, and
was elected to the Thirty-eighth congress,
taking his seat i i lei J. From that time
forward lie re;m - vited tlv" only Demo-
cratic district in Philadelphia: one, too,
that gave Republican presidential candi-
dates a majority.
The principal workshop of tha ex-
speaker was at his home on C street,
Washington. Ilia offices were tilled with
documents and papers, with but few
books. H is el iac I work was done large-
ly 1 y his c wn hands.
He was no' asocial man and had few
intimates. He dined out occasionally,
but rarely attended theatre or church.
He was sometimes see a out pleasure rid-
ing, but. his principal recreation was his
work and his family circle.
Mrs. Randall is the daughter of the
late Gen. Aaron Ward, of New York
city. An incident of Randall's southern
trip of ISS1-S5 is often recalled by his
Kentucky friends as illu a rating the in
fluenco of Mrs. Randall in the sphere of
her husband's public life, it occurred at
Winchester. Kv., whi n, although it was
Sunday, two or three thousand people
bad gathered at the <1 'pot to meet the
train. A brass band w. ; present, and
amidst great cheering and drumming
Mr. Randall appeared en the rear of the
car tmd ma le a bjmvcIi. Soon the crowd
begun to call for Mrs. Randall, tmd the
delighted congressman, pleased with all
this disi>lay of Kentucky enthusiasm,
hastened into the err v here she sat.
"Come, mother," lie said, "just show
yourself at tho car dorr. People are
calling for you. They wart to see your
face. J ust step to tho door and bow to
f-t)o you know, Sam," she replied—
"do you know that this is Sunday, and
that it is a wicked and outrageous thing
those people are doing? You orght to
be ashamed of yourself. I shall not go
out."
Very greatly taken aback, Mr. Randall
returned and faced the crow d mriiin.
"Fellow citizens," he said, "Mrs. Ran
dall desires me to ex Kress her thanks to
vou for your flattering kindne s in wish
ing to see her, and to sa, that she is too
,1 to appear."
Sir. Randall is a man of striking per-
sonal appearance. His boyi-.li looking
face, smoothly shaven, was long con-
spicuous on Capitol Hill. His dress was
what would be call-d old style, 'i hat is,
he <1 id not change with the fashions, but
wore the same cut of garment in 1886
that he did in 180'!—a cutaway coat,
! mercy trouers, low vest, broad sheet
and a rental liable full crowned hat. He
was a good walker, and when in Wash-
ington covered the lour squares inter-
vening between theCapitol and his home
in a remarkably short time. This was hit
Custom regularly, when not troubled
with the gout, of which his dining out
occasionally gave him a touch. Then he
spun rapidly over the car tracks in a
coupe. His carriage was well known
among the capital vehicles. When his
influence was at its height the wags used
to say, on seeing the famous carriage at
the door of any of the departments ol
government:
"There goes another Philadelphia man
into office,"
Notwithstanding his long and active
career, Mr. Randall did not acquire a
fortune. His home, like all his sur
roundings, is plain to simplicity.

[Special Correspondent*. j
Kansas City, Jan. During a recent
conversation with Peter Pitchlynn. the
great Choctaw chief. I learned that the
Choctawa have a legend of "The Del
uge," and that they once tlattenod the j
heads of their children, both of w hich |
facts I shall attempt to show is confirm-1
atory of their original habitat having j
been far in the southwestern portion of j
th(» continent, as they claim, and not the'
northwest, as those who advocate the
"List tribes of Israel" theory claim.
Now the Mayas, those strange people
who built the wonderful structures, the
ruins of which are found at I xnial,
Palenque and elsewhere in Central Amer-
ica, flattened the heads of their children,
and all the Isthmian Indians have a tra-
dition, of a deluge (Atlantis sad fate,
probably). Is it not probable that tin i
Cliociaws, as they claim they did, cam* J
from that region, where at one time ix j
remote antiquity, jostled, as it were |
with the Mayas, and brought here with
them some of the corrupted legend* oi
that people!
The Choctaw tradition of "the del
uge," as related by Chief Pitehlyun, if
this: "Our people have always had a
tradition of 'the deluge,' which happened
in this way: There was total darknesi
for a great time over the whole of tlx
earth; the Choctaw doctors, or mysterj
men, looked out for daylight for a long
time, until at last they despaired of evel
seeing it. and the whole nation wei every
unhappy. Finally a light was discovered
in the north and there was great re job
ing, until it was found to be great nioun
tains of'water rolling on, which destroyed
them all except a few families who had
expected it and built an immense raft
on which they were saved!''

At Chicago competition for prizes was
open to the world, and several produc-
tions came from the mother country.
The competitions were for soloists, choirs
and bands. Tho prize for the main
clioral contest was $.">00. The concert
programmes were conducted principally
by W. E. Powell, W. Ap Madoc and
Professor J. P. Jones. Professor Jones,
whose production, "Unto Thee, O Clod,'
was in competition, has been the con-
ductor of the Welsh Musical Union of
Wisconsin for twentv-flve years. He
won the principal prizes at Racine in
1858.
Anions; the choirs represented at the
Chicago "eisteddfod" were the We tern
Avenue Choral union, the Scottish
chorus, of Chicago; the Hoot River
chorus, of Racine; (the Comer Male

place in whirlpools; where the trees are
all dead, and the water full of toads,
lizards and snakes; where the dead are
always hungry, but have nothing to eatj

the sun never shines, and where the

Ojktu in Volapiilt.
One of the latest practical demonstra-
tions of the use of Volapuk was made in
Brisbane, Australia, w here Meyerbeer's
opera, The Proph- t, translated into Vol-
apuk and presented by Nicholson, the
manager of the : heat re in that City,
made such a hit that he was compelled
to repeat the performance ten times to
standing room only. Mr. Nicholson con-
templates the translation and presenta-
tion of the opera Traviata. This use of
the language proves very conclusively
that the sound of it when spoken is not
harsh or bad, or it would have fallen
flat indeed when used in an opera. Vol-
apuk is made tip of none but pure full
sounds of the vocal organs; it has no
flat or half tone sounds and but few
double consonant sounds and tripleones.
