Hoke Smith Resigned.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The Post
this morning confirms the report that
Hoke Smith has resigned from the
cabinet in an article from which the
following is an extract: Secretary
Hoke Smith S resignation as mem
Der Of the cabinet and the head of the
interior departments is said to be in the
hands of the President.
"The authority for this statement
is a close personal friend Of Secretary
Smith. As the story goes, Secretary
Smith forwarded his resignation to the
President at Gray Gables on the same
day that he authorized the publica-
tion in his paper, the Atlanta Journal,
of the editorial declaring that paper
would support Bryan and Sewall, al.
though deprecating the platform upon
which they were nominated.
SIN his letter to the President it is
said that Secretary Smith announced
the position that he was going to as
sumo, pointed out that he had during
the campaign in Georgia given sol,
emn pledge that he would abide by the
action of the Chicago convention, and
then went on to say that he felt that
he could, in justice to the President,
no longer remain in his cabinet.
The Post then specuiates as to what
the President is going to do about it,
and concludes that if the President
continues in his present attitude OF
non action, Smith will serve out his
time in the cabinet, but that if he
takes either of several suggested
courses unfavorable to Bryan and the
Chicago platform the Secretary will
insist upon enforcing his resignation
and will return to Georgia and take an
active part in the campaign.

Maybe So, And Maybe Not.

CHICAGO, Aug. lG.-A special from
Tuscon, Arizona, says: DR.. P. NJ. Smith,
of Hagerstown, Maryland, and party of
mining men who have just returned
from the Ilipsey mines, report the fall
of an immense meteor, which struck the
desert abolt two miles north of Halls
Ranch, and about the same distance
south of the Repsey mines. 1t fell on
Saturday night, the 9th instant, about 9
o'clock. Members Of the party, who
we're camped at Halls say the concussiou
was terrible. Cupboards were upset,
dishes thrown down aud houses trem bled
like leaves. The noise was like that of
many cannon fired simultaneously. The
air for miles around was filled with sui
phurous gas and the meteor came down
red and smoking.
II covers about two acres of ground,
appearing to be imbedded hundreds of
feet in the earth, and now forms great
mountain in the desert. A herder's hut
and corral were in the meteor's path
The herder, his wife and three children,
all Mexicans, together with about 200
sheep went down under the mighty mass.
Major Thos Hayes, of Louisville, Ky,
who was of the party, was overcome by
the phenomenon.
1T was the most brilliant, grand and
awe-inspiring sight l ever witnessed"
said the major. "It is simply beyond
the power of tongue or pen to accurately
describe it. The heat from the meteor is
40 intense that it will be several days be-
fore the mound can be examined closely"
A large party left here last evening to
view the wonder, and to get further par.
ticulars. 1t is about 60 miles north of
Tucson, and about 10 miles from Globe.

DIR. Winston, friend to the great
Sir Isaac Newton, and an astronomer of
high repute. professed to believe that hell
is, or will be, located on comet. He
said: "& 4 According to my calcu-
lations, this theory (his queer hell belief,
which belongs to me, and me alone, To-
Gates hell, the awful prison-hot.5e of the
damned, in the fiery nucleus of some
(perhaps yet undiscovered) comet of un-
thinkable size. In this wide
circling chariot Of fire they (the damned)
will be whirled in the twinkling of an
eye back into space hundreds of millions
of miles from the great torch bearer Of
our system. Thus instantly will the
wretched tenants Of this flying hell be
given two unbearable extremes, one of
cold and the other of heat; this to con-
tinue through the endless ages of eternity,
while the Almighty is dispensing the
seventies of Justice"

A cat which walked on sheet

A cat which walked on a sheet
Of sticky fly paper the other night, in
Mont Clair, N. j., created a burglar
scare by the noise it made in an ad-
joing room to that of Mr.. and Mrs.
Scovillc. Scovill locked his bedroom
door, leaving his wife thus safe from
intrusion, and slid quietly out of the
window and hurried to the homes of
several neighbors, whom he aroused
as quickly as possible, and brought
back with him to capture the burglar.
1t has not been decided whether the
cat or its capturers were the most sur,
prised when the real character of the
burglar was discovered, and though
Scovillc opened up several bottles OF
wine, the story was too good to keep
and he is having hard time CT it at
the hands Of his friends.

Balloons as Water Hunters.

Chacma baboons, and their relatives,
the Anubis balloons, are sometimes
used to discover water in dry seasons,
which they can do when even the
bushman fails to find it. A single
monkey is taken out thirsty and let
loose, when it quarters the ground
like a pointer, and begins to dig with
it's hands, and if the sand be dug
away water soon oozes into the hollow
This feat, which has been seen both
in South Africa and in Angola, on
the western coast, is not so wonderful
as it seems, because it is only done in
the country where water collects in
the hollows on rocky bottom, whcih
are soon blown over and covered by
sand. The surface becomes dry and
shifting, though lower down the wa
ter and saad lie mixed upon the rocky
bed. But no other animal seems to
have either the scent or the power Of
using it possessed by the baboon.
Even if they could detect the water,
the want of hands to scoop away the
sand and procure it would make their
knowledge as Improbable as discover
ing water in a well which had no
bucket.
An Anubis baboon kept in Upper
Egypt was used as a house dog, being
kept chained at the door. 1t knew
all the usual visitors to the house,
but prevented others from entering
by walking up and down across the
doorway. In mediaeval times numbers
of these animals were brought to
Europe and kept as pets, and there is
hardly nation of Southern or West
ern Europe among VI hom stories have
not survived of their cleverness,
sociability and courage. That most
familiar to us is the story of the baboon
which rescued the child Of the Fitz-
gerald family from their burning
castle.

Cotton In Texas.

DEN1soS, TEXAS, August l6.-R. M.
King, the cotton expert, who has CORES
pondence with the entire cotton belt,
issued the following bulletin yesterday !:
SIN North Texas, not over one-third of
the area has beer visited by rains at all,
and it is safe to say not ono acre in one
hundred has had enough to suffice the
present needs of The plant.
we do not hesitate 70 advance the opin-
ion that the gr.at monster crop of '96,
that was to be, has surely miscarried and
the crop that was sold in May and June
for ten million bale crop will be under
seven million bales, and before the last
of September we will probably zee the
bulk of the North Texas crop ready for
the market if not Sold"
