Brilliant Prospects, Came to Nothing From Some Mysterious Cause. and How They From the Philadelphia Press. Friends and foes alike will grieve over the mental collapse of Lord Randolph Churchill, whose recent eccentricities and irritability of the nerves have degenerated into complete imbecility and idiocy, the result of softening of the brain. It is but ten years ago that Lord Ran- dolph was at the very top of the political tree, the most conspicuous and popular statesman in England. He had everything in his favor, an ancient and illustrious name famous throughout the civilized world, and if not wealth, at any rate an ample income which permitted him to maimtain one of the most perfectly ap- pointed houses in London; he had a lovely and charming American wife in the Gaugh- ter of Leonard Jerome of New York, bright children to whom he was passionately de- voted, and the favor of the sovereign and of his fellow-countrymen. It was impossible to take up a newspa- per without seeing his name in almost every column, or a comie journal without his caricature staring one in the face. He formed the theme of almost all the topical songs sung at the music halls and occupied not only a seat in the cabinet, but also the proud position of leader of the British house of commons. Lord Randolph possessed a fine place at Newmarket and a successful racing stable, and was certainly in those days the En- glishman who held the highest place and’ the, watmest corner in the heart of John ul Suddenly, in the very hey-dey of his power, fame and popularity—it was while he was staying on a visit to. the cueen, at Windsor—something happened, some- thing came to his ears. which altered the whole tenor of his life and constituted the starting point of that gradual decline which has now culminated in his idiocy. What it was is known only to a few with any degree of certainty, and those have, like Lord Randoiph himself, kept the matter a profound secret, from motives of patriotism, aye, and of loyalty as well. Of course there are many stories upon the subject extant, all of which unite in ore particular, namely that they lay the cause of Lord xandolph's astounding coup d'etat at the dcor of royalty. Whatever the blow was—and it may be @ generation before the truth of the whole story ts fully knowr—it came with crush- ing force, and all that I can say, for my part, is that, whatever it was, it was brought to the knowledge of Lord Ran- doiph one evening after dinner, during his stay at Windsor Castle, Strange Conduet. Lady Randolph and himself had dined with the queen as usual, at 8:30, and had shown manifest pleasure at the marked graciousness with which they were treated by the queen. Both were in excellent spir- its during the repast, and there was no premonition of anything untoward. Yet on the following morning, Lord and Lady Churchill left the castle before break- fast, and without waiting to be conveyed to the station in royal carriages, and prior to leaving, Lord Randolph had written on notepaper bearing the queen's cipher and the Windsor Castle heading, very curt let- ters to Lord Salisbury and to the queen herself, resigning his seat in the cabinet, his chancellorship of the exchequer, and his leadership of the house of commons. It is impossible to describe the sensation caused by this coup d'etat. The queen was indignant at the gross discourtesy with which she considered herself to have been treated, and Lord Salisbury, too, was great- ly enraged, since it upset all his calcula- tions and gave a great shock to his admin- istration, of which Lord Randolph was far and awey the most popular member. And as time went on, this irritation on the part of the queen and of the tory pre- mier increased, since they regarded Lord Randolph as responsible for the rumors in- sinuated, rather than circulated, by his friends, to the effect that his happiness had been wrecked by royal libertinism. From that time forth, Lord Randolph was an altered man and forever seemed laboring either under intense nervous ex- citement, or under fits of depression and despondency. He was forced ,to resort to opiates to procure sleep and rest, and as time went on, this developed into an abuse, and he became a slave to the morphine habit. He went in for horse racing on a scale far beyond his former establishment. He went out to South Africa and spent months in exploring Mashonaland; he em- barked in business in the ci erything, in fact, to occupy his mind and divert his thoughts and to cure both mind and body. But it was all without avail summer, after a most deplorable sce the house of commons, where he spoke in such a manner as to lead to the im- pression that he was very drunk, he was sent off by his family on a trip round the world, under the care of his American wife, whatever estrangement there may have been between them having been end- ed. Lord Rendolph’s passage through New York, Bar Harbor, Ottawa and Vancouver was marked by eccentric utterances id still more eccentric actions. At Yokohama, the public dinner organized by the English tories resident there, had to be abandoned, in consequence of the state of his bealth, and when finally he reached Bombay, his conditicn became such that it was neces- sary to place him under restraint, and it is under the care of a physician that he has been brought home to England to die. Antagonized Gladstone. No 2ne could have foreseen this ten years ago, and everybedy spoke of him as destined to become prime minister of Eng- land, and to succeed Lord Salisbury “in the chieftainship of the tory party. There was no more brilliant debater in the house, and not only was he a statesman of great resource, having the ins and outs‘of the intricate British governmental system at his fingers’ ends, but he was never at fault, always ready for the fray and ever ready to find the wedk spot in the armor of the opponent. ‘There was no one in the house of com- mons who possessed to a greater degree the faculty of getting what is usually known as a “rise” out of Mr. Gladstone, and from the readiness and aptness with which Lord Randolph was on hand at all times to controvert the arguments of the Grand Old Man with apt quotations from his speeches of a decade or two previously, when his opinions were diametrically op- posed to what they are now, one would have imagined that Lord Randolph had spent his whole life in studying the ora- tions of Mr. Gladstone. What endeared Lord Randolph most to his countrymen was his grit and-his readi- ness for a fight. He was always on the warpath, and was dead game as any ban- tam rooster. Englishmen like this; {t ap- peals to their innate sporting instincts, and this was one of the chief holds that Lord Randolph had upon their regard. Lord Randolph stands next in succession to his nephew, the as yet unmarried Duke of Marlborough, and on Lord Randolph's death, which is considered as imminent, his eldest son, Mr. Winston Leonard Je- rome Spencer-Churchill, a youth of twenty, and showing many traces of the American bleod in his veins, will become heir to England's most famous dukedom. MARQUISE DE FONTENOY. = Found Dead Christmas Mornin James H. Yarborough, aged thirty, was found dead in bed in a hotel at Raletg! N. C. yesterday. He was a native of North Carolina and eight years ago killed a man in Ohio. He was tried for murder, put was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to life imprisonment. Just after | sentence was passed he attempted suicide by cutting his throat, and his life was barely saved. Last year petitions were widely circulated in North Carolina ask- ing the governor of Ohio to pardon him, and last August pardon was granted, and Yarborough, after seven years of convict life, returned to North Carolina. He had been drinking heavily several days. friend who had been with him until io o'clock yesterday morning left him and, returr.ing an hour later, found Yarborough lying with his face buried in the pillow. He had been dead only a few minutes. Physicians said death was due to suffoca- tion. Yarborcugh’s family is prominent. LATE SPORTING NEWS Another Ball Player Dead. Thomas Cahill, late manager of the Serantons, the new Eastern League club, died of consumption yesterday at Scran- ton, Pa. He was twenty-eight years of age. He played with Louisville, Troy and Scranton, was a graduate of Holy Cross College, Worcester, Mass., and for two years studied medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. His illness assumed @ fatal character on Thanksgiving day. His fod Ape taken to Fall River, Mass., for urial. Four Thousand at the Track. Nearly 4,000 people attended the racing at the Alexander Island track yesterday, and as but one favorite won, the great major- ity of them went back to town with much less money than they carried over. The day was therefore very much of a holiday for. the nineteen gentlemen behind the slates. The event of the day was the hand- icap, at a mile, in which Sirocco and Indra Were entered. Both were scratched, how- ever, although the latter ran in the fourth race, but finished second. Gallatin was made the favorite in the handicap, but the winner turned up in Thurston, at 5 to 1. Walcott started favorite in the first race, but Forest, at 12 to 1, took the money. Mattie Chunn, the favorite, at 8 to 5, fin- ished first In the second, and Leigh, at 20 to 1, beat Indra in the fourth, the fifth Face going to the second choice, Pattie, at i2 Foot Ball on the Coas The Chicago University foot ball team yesterday showed California how they play foot ball in the east. The men from the world’s fair city dallied with the ex- perts from Stanford University at San Francisco and won as they pleased by a score of 24 to 4. Stanford was outplayed at every point of the game, and only man- aged to score at all by a fluke. The snap and vim with which the Chifago boys played was a revelation to people out there. Five thousand spectators were pres- ert. The Stanford men were plainly out of condition, while the Chicago boys were hale and active and stood the work as if they thrived on it. The Chicagos won the game on team work, marvelous interfer- ence and by doing everything consistent with the game better than their opponents. Score, 24 to 4. A Bowling Date Changed. On account of the Y. M. C. C. benefit the towling match scheduled to take place on the alleys of the Youn; Men's Catholic Club with the team of the Washington Athletic Club, on January 3, has heen changed to Saturday evening, the 2th of this month. As both of these teams have been putting up a good game at ten pins of late, this contest promises to be of the ex- citing sort, and it being on Saturday eve ing a large attendance is expected, for which ample arrangements will be made. Champion Southern Lightweight. John Coats won the title of champion light-weight pugilist south of Mason and Dixon's line at Baltimore last night. Paul Johnson,a long drawn-out copy of Bob Fitz- simmons, bad the title of having won it during the Richard K. Fox tournament, by defeating Joe Gaus. He beat Gaus last season and was beaten last night. The fight lasted eleven rounds, every one of which was fought on the hammer and tongs order. Blood flowed freely from Johnson's mouth and nose, and the feature of the fight was the terrible punishment which he took. There was no stage in the fight when Coats had not the better of it. Johnson did not iook up to form, and many of the four hundred people who saw the fight said he had too much Christmas aboard. Backing to the amount of $1,000 against $500 was offered on him and the battle will probably be fought again within the next thirty days. Trying to Break Records. Ten thousand people saw the crack pacers and trotters of the country go against their own records yesterday at Los Angeles. The track was at least three seconds slow and no records were broken. Directly, the champion two,year-old, went against ‘his record of 2.07, but could only go in 2.09, Robert J. beat Joe Patchen in the pacing race, winning the first, third and fourth heats in 2.08, 207 and 208. Patchen won the second heat in 2.13. Emfl Ulbrecht, a local bicycler, raced against Flying Jib, and beat the pacer in 204. Jib’s time, 2. Ulbrecht will race against Flying Jib again today, when the horse will be hitched with a running mate. Alix did not start yesterday, but will go today. She is said to be fit to break the record. Stanford Explaining Defeat. Capt. Downing of the Stanford team ac- counted for the defeat of his players in the game with the Chicago University in this way: “My men have been taking things too easy since the big inter-collegiate game and showed up in much poorer condition than I expected. I expected a much better game than they put up. They seemed to have forgotten much that a month ago was easy to them. The Chicago men found out during the first half that we could not hold the ground, and they hurried us. We were unfortunate, too, in having to change our line several times, owing to the injury of some of our best men, and then luck seemed to be against us all through. With my men in fairly good shape I con- fident I could beat out the visitors.” Horse Races Near Benning. Two races, in which a large number of persons from Anacostia, where all the horses are owned, showed much interest, took place near Benning yesterday after- noon. The first race was for a private purse; distance, half a mile. The entries were George W. Fowler's “Spend All,” Charles R. Dodye's-“Money Box,” Hunter Ware's “Sylvanus” and John FE. Ware's “Robert Garrett.” The first attempt to get the horses off resulted in failure, Syl- vanus and Money Box refusing to start. The second effort was more successful, and the heat was won by Spend All. Some dis- sa faction was, however, manifested, and a second heat was determined upon. At the start for this Sylvanus and Robert Gar- rett fell hack about fifteen lengths, and the heat and race were won easily by Spend All. No oficial time was taken. The sec- ond race was a scrub also between Ana- costia horses, and was likewise half a mile. The entries were James F. \ddon’s “Tin Soldier,” Dr. Watson's “Pillpox” and John T. Fowler's ‘Sugar Trust.” Soon after starting the jockey on Sugar Trust got Pillbox in a “pocket,” from which the lat- ter could not escape, and, securing the lead, enabled Sugar Trust to win the race easily. ——— Woman Suffrage in New Mexico. During the session of the New Mexico legislature, which begins next Monday, a meeting is to be held at the capitol, to which a large number of representative women have been invited for the organiza- tion of the New Mexican Suffrage League and arranging for the organization of branch leagues in every county in the territory.

Special Dispatch to the New Yark ai BENKLEMAN, Dun@y dounty, Neb., ber 25, 1804. The relief work in this gounty is in the hands of a committee, appeinted by citi- zens, with the approvak of the county com- missioners. The Re’ Bell of Haigier and Oscar Callahan, of this place have been the most active jn systematizing the werk. Mr. Callahan said this morning: “There is much suffering} but the chief need is for fuel and Wheat will be needed for seed and corn will be needed for seed and corn will alse be required for feed. Tho ‘stock is in fair condition, in spite of the fact that thé buffalo grass is not nearly so good as usual this year. Many have asked for coal, but the major- ity are able to pay the miners’ prices, ‘f transpcrtation caa be donated. The Grand Army of the Republic men in other parts have made up little purses to pay for coal to be given to the needy members here. ‘The pensioners, in this county are able, with their money, to get a little coal, and they are managing to get along. “{ don’t mean to give you the impression that the county does not need help. Every, one almost n seed for the spring, but in the meanwhile I believe we can keep our people from absolute destitution. The com- mittee is giving ald only where it is pos- itively needed, and then only in the line of the necessities of life. We have got in two car loads of coal here, and there are six more on the track at Catvert. “The churches have got in some relief supplies, and. the Ancient Order of United Workmen and other benevolent societies have distributed some among their mem- bers. There seems to be a general dispo- sition to help one another among all classes of people, which is very commendable. Most of the people here are free from mortgages, and if it had not been for two successive crop failurés would be com- fortably well off.’ Few Available Funds. At the court house “I learned that the county was out of debt, but had few. avail- able funds for the relief of the poor. Small warrants were being drawn for flour, and one or two citizens were aiding the really destitute to get coal. Dundy county has raised some fine crops in its time, and its people have been as frugal as the average community. But the strictest frugality can hardly suffice to carry a farmer over two almost complete failures of the land. There are two large ditches off the Re- publican river at Haigler, which cost $0,000 and irrigate several thousand acres. Near Benkleman there are three or four small ones. Upon this irrigated land was raised the only grain and vegetables grown in the county. There is some timber back from the river, to which the people have helped themselves for several years, al- though it is private property. At least two cr three hundred families have left the county, and deserted farm houses sre seen from every country road.

AVE. N.W. cast LUTHER’s HOUSE FALLING. The House of the Great Reformer and the Andreaskirche Threaten to Fall in Ruins, Dispatches from Eisleben, says a Berlin special to the New York Herald, announce @ piece of news calculated to cause a cer- tain sensation in Germany. The Luther- haus and the Andreaskirche threaten to fall in. The Lutherhaus is the house in which Martin Luther was born, and in which he died. It is a small, two-story structure, with high gable ends, in the large Gasse, or Lutherstrasse, not far from the post office. Above the door is a — representing the great reformer. In the popular belief the house was for- merly considered incombustible, until a fire broke out in August, 1689, by which t! peer story was destroyed, but four years r the damage was entirely repaired by donations from all parts of Germany. Luther’s birth reom actually proved in- combustible, and remains unscathed to this day. The Andreaskirche is the old parish church of Kisleben. Erected before 1179, it was entirely rebuilt during the four- teenth century in the latest Gothic style, with octagon pillars. The church stands on the highest ground in the market square, and its front, with double towers and high spires, faces, according to ancient custom, dn, the direction of Jerusalem. ——_+-e+ Work for Some Other Fellow. From the Christmas Baltimore Sun. An incident occurred on a street in New York the other evening which, while suffi- cfently ludicrous, furnishes some food for }: theught. A policeman found a man lying in a gutter in a deep, drunken sleep. He |” found it impossible to arouse him by any gentle means and was using some rather vigorous language, when a gentleman in a jaultless dress suit came along and sharply reprimanded the policeman for his rough- ness with the man. The policeman asked him if he was Dr. Parkhurst and would he eaplain how he was to get the drunken ,man awake and how he could get him to the station without waking him. The man in the dress suit explained that he was not Dr. Parkhurst, but he was so and 8@, a member of the Good Government Re- form Club, and that the policeman had a right to mmon any citizen to his aid. Then the monitor turned to depart, but the policeman halted him and summoned him to aid in carrying the man to the sta- tion. The monitor said it was impossible; he had an engagement and was going to a perty. But the policeman was inexorable and. warned him that he would refuse at his peril, And so the faultless dress suit was very much soiled by contact with the gutter mud on the person of the prisoner. And so it is with a great many reform- ers. They are quick to criticise and com- plain and condemn, and are very willing that others should help in maintaining good government. But when it comes to soiling their own kid-gloved hands with the actual work it is a great hardship and not to be borne. Let every citizen be ready to do his own duty before he presumes to stone at his neighbor for derelic- tion. —roo—___—.
