said Jeweller Rowland, OF a meteor
which passed over Tucson at 1925 last

body of the meteor appeared to him the
size of show case.
From accounts by other parties the
meteor was no common every-nlRht
shooting star, but was of dazzling blind

from south to north remiring in full
siaht about three seconds, and reflect
ing its light full seven seconds.

J. H. White and G. 81. McAneny left
in town four days, during which time
Messrs. Gage and Leach Of the Grand

more than one occasion. The outcome
of these negotiations is known only to
the principals and they are tongue-tied
as to the details of the proposed under
taking. The most interesting feature
to the public is the fact thai give or
take proposal is under consideration,
but whether Contention folks will do
the pumping or the Grand Central peo-
pie drain the mines on contingent is
not yet known even by the principals
themselves. 1t is the belief Of the Con-
tention people that they can drain the

they will try it. The Grand Central

Americans in Time.
charleston World

The Times-DomOcrat has made some caicu-
lations based upon the recent census hgures,
and concludes that of the white population OF
this country So per cent. only is English, 20
per cent. German, IS per cent. irish, per
cent. Latin. 3 per cent. scandinavian, and 3
per cent. Slav. Therefore. says the Times
Democrat. if barely more than half OF our
population is English. how can We call our
selves Anglo-Saxons.
If all Of the German, Irish, scandinavian
and other races had intermarried only with
the members Of their own particular race. 1t
might do 10 calculate the children Of the
4.551.719 Germans who have come % TINS
country in the last seventy years as Germans;
but 50 far from that being the case, lntermar-
rage has so blended and mingled the races
that probably more than half the on
spripe of the 600 foreigners that
have come to this country are OF the
mingled blood of Celt Teuton and Dane
that makes that race called Anglo-Saxon.
No doubt in England there are places
where the Danish strain - noticeable. ana
also places where the Celtic characteristics
predominate. or Saxon features remain most
prominent. but the mixture - known As
Anglo-Saxon. and that mixture has been
carried on hero also. although not as slowly a.
it occurred in England.
Latterly. it is true. in the OPINION or many
there has been too great rush from southern
Europe. but even that, if it IS regulated with
any degree Of care We can ind that we can

A WASHINGTON OUTRAGE.

A few days ago there was printed in the
Washington Post the full text of a very elo-
quent speech which ex-senator ingalls, had
delivered at a meeting of the Glen Echo
Chautauqua. in eulogy of the many points of
advantage which the Capital of the Union
possessed as place of residence. He not only
drew a magnificent picture, for the ex-senator
is a master of glowing rhetoric, of the future
of that city but he declared with great re-
abundance Of panegyric that no community in
the United States had moro to offer, physi-
cally, morally and intellectually, to.infuence
those who were seeking home to make a
permanent settlement there.
Omitting several more or less important
drawbacks from consideration, the words Of
the ex-senator did not seem extravagant or
inaccurate. Washington is undoubtedly
beautiful city. From the variety of its life
it is also an interesting city. The growing
disposition of 80 many families of wealth and
prominence who live elsewhere to remove
their homes thither is an excellent indication
that even to the fastidious classes it is an at
tractive city. The abolition of certain essen
tal prerogatives of citizenship and the pres
ence of a large ignorant and obtrusive negro
population are regarded by many as strong
grounds of eobjection to Washington as a
place OF residence. but in spite Of these OBJ
jections the general opinion would 60 to con-
firm the praise which ingalls, had layished
upon it.
This was our own judgment It was with a
decided shock Of surprise, therefore, that we
read in the Post Of yesterday very detailed
account of an assault upon ayoung lady from
Virginia who happened to be driving with
friend through the grounds of the Soldiers
Home about nightfall. 1t is true that the
Soldiers Home is some distance from the
boundaries Of the city, but it is sufficiently
near to constitute part of the same general
community, being connected with the city by
a street railway, and being also a spot which
is much frequented by visitors to Washington
or residents Of that city who may be driving
for pleasure.
more heinous and barbarous instance Of
crime has not recently fallen under our no.
tice. Here was young Virginia girl in the
society of friend, seeking amusement in one
of the great public parks in the vicinity Of the
city which Mr. ingalls, eulogized in such lofty
language as the very centre of American civil
lization, and she is compelled to submit to
treatment as outrageous as IL she had fallen
into the hands of the demons of Port-au-
Prince or the savages of Tahiti
is this the fate which every innocent wo-
man who drives without proper protection in
the vicinity Of Washington is likely to incur
