Randolph has suggested the compilation of hi3 immediate line. Though one of the largest families originally settling in East Jersey, the name of Ira Is seldom recorded among the Fitz Randolphs. This is quite strange, for It is a strong name in Scripture, being borne by a chief ruler about King David, and is especially mentioned in the catalogue of the King's hero-officers. So numerous has been this patronymic that nearly every name in religious and profane history has been appropriated to designate various members of the- Fitz Randolph-tribe. Ira F.

Randolph, first referred to, was born in Plainfield, September 13, 1834, and never married: died December 9, 1909. His brother, George born February 18, 1827, died, 1900; married Mary C. Keeler, who survives him, with a daughter, Florence R. Groendyck, whose son bears the name of his grandfather, George W. F.

R. Groendyck. The sister of Ira and George was Caroline, born 1824, married Lewis M. Rocap, parents of Charles, Mary and Ida Rocap. The father of the first-mentioned three was Ira Fitz Randolph.

born May 2, 1794. married 1817, Sallie Pound (daughter of Elijah and Rachel Kinsey Pound), They had five other children, who died in childhood. Ira, brothers and sisters were Hugh, Edward and Asa, Phebe, Sarah, Mercy and Mary. Their parents were Edward Fitz Randolph, born 1749, April 23, married 1782, Mary Webster (daughter of Hugh and Sarah Marsh Webster), born-1758. Hugh and Edward older brothers of Ira F.

The prices were highest in cities where the most competition prevailed and lowest In the rural communities, where there Is practically no compe-tion. Bishop Wilson, of the Methodist church. South, declaims against the publication in the newspapers of the etlls that men do, but adds that in spite of such publication, the world is growing better. The statement could be made in another way, Because of the publication of men's wrong-doing the world is growing better. What evil-doers dread as much as anything Is publicity.

Evil thrives la the darkness, and when there is no fear of the light of publicity it will continue to thrive. Publicity is therefore a deterrent to wrong doing.

Michigan and Mississippi, New York and Pennsylvania have condemned the public drinking cup, and New Jersey recommends that the public cup be replaced by the individual cup. AH these actions are in line with a good public policy, and will probably spread to other States.

For years the common drinking cup has been a publics menace, and the fact is forcing Itself upon the boards of health, even against the old argument that the innovation is only a fad. The danger from the public cup always existed, but it is more than ever present now because of the greater number of people travelling.
