Stanford Explaining Defeat.

Capt. Downing of the Stanford team &C
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 intercollegiate game
and showed up in much poorer condition
than 1 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 l am con-
fdent 1 could beat out the visitors"

LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL
The Royalty Scandal Connected With His
Collapse.
brilliant Prospects, md How They
Came to Nothing From Some
Mysterious Cause.
From the Philadelphia Press.

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.
1t 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 Industrious
name famous throughout the civilized
world, and if not wealth, at any rate an
ample income which permitted him to
maintain one of the most perfectly ap-
pointed houses in London; he had 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.
1t was impossible to- take up a newspa-
per without seeing his name in almost
every column, or a comic 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 seat in the cabinet, but also the
proud position of leader OF the British
house of commons. rF-
Lord Randolph possessed fine place at
NEWMARKET ana SucceSSfuf racing stable,
and was certainly in those days the En-
glishman who held the highest place and
the warmest corner in the heart of John
Bull.
Suddenly in the very hey-dey of his
power, fame and popularity-it was " lille
he was staying on visit to- the queen,
at Understanding 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 eliminated in his idlocy.
What it was Is known only to a few
with any degree of certainty, and those
have, like Lord Randolph himself kept the
matter a profound secret, from motives
of patriotism, aye, and of loyalty well.
or course there are many stories upon the
subject extant all of which unite in ore
particular, namely that they lay the cause
of Lord handolph's astounding coup d'etat
at the door of royalty. e.s.... -.
Whatever the blow was-and Ii may be
a generation before the truth of the whole
story is fully knowr-it came with crush
ing force, and all that 1 can say, for my
part, is that, whatever 1t was, 1t was
brought to the knowledge Of Lord Han
dolph one evening after dinner, during his
stay at Windsor Castle.

Depending on Pensions.

The pensions drawn by the old soldiers
mere constitute about all the income the
farmers have. and living is more than
economical; 1t has beef reduced almost to
the verge of beggary!: but not quite. for
these veterans and their, sons are proud
and spirited fellows, who would sooner
starve than beg. 1t Is hard. though, for
the mothers and childreni to live on such
fare as is general here. Many have not
much better food than the chickens or
beasts of burden. The eoafsest and cheap
est flour, and even bran in some cases Is
used. Meal Is not to be had except tn rare
cases. Stock had to be sacrificed and hogs
and chickens have long SINCE gone where
there Is better feed Or have been killed.

Strange Conduct.

Lady Randolph and himself had dined
with the queen as usual, at $50, 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 10
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 carria ges and prior
to leaving, Lord Randolph had written on
notepaper bearing the queens cipher and
the windsor Castle heading, very curt let
tiers to Lord Salisbury and to the queen
herself, resigning his seat in the cabinet
his CHARACTERISTIC OF the eXchequer, and
his leadership OF the house of commons.
1t is impossible to describe the sensation
caused by this coup detat. 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 ii upset all his calcula-
tons and gave a great shock to his admin
istration, of which Lord Randolph was far
and away the most popular member.
And as time went on, this irritation on
the part of the queen and of the tory pre-
nier Increased, since they regarded Lord
Randolph as responsible for the rumors in
simulated, 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
laborinR either under intense nervous eX-
element, under fits of depression and
dependency. 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 Newfoundland; he en-
barked in business in the city, tried ev-
erything, in fact, to occupy his mind and
divert his thoughts and to cure both mind
and body.
But 1t was all without avail and last
summer, after a most deplorable scene in
the house of commons, where he spoke
in such a manner to lead to the i'm
preston 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 Randolph's passage through New
York, Bar Harbor, Ottawa and Vancouver
was marked by eccentric utteranccs and
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 health,
and when finally he reached Bombay, his
condition became such that 1t was neces-
sary to place him under restraint, and Ii Is
under the care of a physician that he has
been brought home to England to die.

Champion Southern Lightweight.

John Coats won the title of champion
lightweight pugilist south of Mason and
DiXons line at Baltimore last night. Paul
Johnson, a long drawn-out copy Of Bob F1tz-
simmons, bad the title of having won 1t
during the Richard x. 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 1t.
Johnson did not look 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.

Becember 25, 1894.
The relief work in this county is in the
hands of a committee appointed by citi-
zens, with the approvak of the county COM
missioners. The Rev. J. MI Bell of Haigler
and Oscar Callahan, banker, Of this place
have been the most active IN systematizing
the work. Mr. Callahan sand this morning:
There is much sufferineS but the chief
need is for fuel and seed.ts Wheat win be
needed for seed and corn will be needed for
seed and corn will also be required for
feed. Tho stock is in fair condition, in
spite of the fact that the 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, "
transportation can be donated. The Grand
Army of the Republic men in other parts
to be given to the needy members here.
The pensioners In this county are able,
with their money, to get little coal, and
they are managing to get along. --. q,
II don't mean to give you the impression
that the county does not need help. Every.
one almost needs seed for the spring, but
in the meanwhile believe we can keep our
people from abs dilute restitution. The COM
mttee is giving aid only where 1t Is pos
itively needed, ana 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 Calvert.
The churches have got in some relief
supplies, and the Ancient Order of United
Workmcn and other benevolent societies
nave distributed some among their men,
bers. There seems to be a general dispo-
Stfon to help one another among all classes
of people, which Is very commendable

Few Available Funds.

warrants were being drawn for -four, 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 farmer over two
almost complete failures of the land.
There are two large bitches OFF the Re-
publican river at Haigler, which cost
$4,000 and irrigate several thousand acres
small ones. Upon this irrigated land was
raised the only grain and vegetables grown
in the county. There is some timber hack
from the river, to which the people have
helped themselves for several years, al

the general tariff bill passed 1t provides

finance amended it.
There were u great many absentees, SO
that the defeat was not SO decisive as to
discourage further efforts Of the snme

taking up the closure resolution, which
followed, indicates, IL is believed, the i'm
probability of changing the rules at this
session. Mr.. Morgan again addressed the
senate on the Nicaraguan canal bill, and
In concluding expressed his intention Of
soon asking that unanimous consent be
