A dispatch from Tucson. Arlz., to the
Philadelphia Record says: DR.. p. NJ
Smith OF Hagerstown, Nd, and a party
of mining men, who have just returned
from the Ripsey mines, report h fall
Of an immense meteor, which struck the
desert about two miles north of Halls
ranches, about the same distance south
Of the Ripsey mines. 1t fell about s
o'clock on Sunday night. August 8.
Members of the party who were camp
ing at Halls say the conclusion was ter.
rpble. Cupboards were upset, dishes
thrown down and the houses trembled
The noise was like that Of many can
non fired simultaneously and the atmos
phere for mics around was filled with
sulphurous gas.
The great meteor came whizzine
down red and smoking. 1t overs abou,
two acres OF ground. appearing to be I'm
bedded hundreds Of feet in the earth. and
now forms a 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, to
gether with about 200 sheep. went dowr
under the mighty meteoric mass.
Major Thomas Hayes OF Louisville
KY. who was OF the party, was over
come by the phenomenon.
1T vas the most brilliant. grand and
W inspiring sight / ever Witnessed
said the major. 1t Is simply beyond the
power of tongue or pen to accurately
describe It. The heat from the meteor
Is so intense that 1t will be several day,
before the mound can be examined
closely.
A large party left here last evening t.
view the wonder and to get further par
ticulars. 1t Is lmbedded about sixty
miles north Of Tucson.

MAY RESUME ITS CONTROL
K.of P. May Abolish Uniform Rank
independence.
The Opponents Of the Supreme Coun'
ell OF the Uniform Rank Claim
the Provision Is Clearly
- Unconstitutional.

Chicago, Aug. 22.-Whether or not the
separate control OF the military branch
Of the uniform rank OF the Knights OF
Pythias shall be abolished and the SUI
preme lodge again exercise jurisdiction
over this feature of the order Is one Of
the important questions with which. so
1t leaks out. the coming session OF the
supreme lodge at Cleveland will be
called upon to deal. The organization
Of the state military department was
approved at the convention Of 1884. the
uniform rank having hitherto existed as
independent companies, reporting to the
supreme chancellor. but having no
state system. In 1894, as the result OF
widespread agitation for q change In the
system of management of the military
branch, a statutory provision was
adopted providing for the organization OF
a supreme council OF the uniform rank.
This legislation was strongly opposed
at the time by many prominent mem
bers of the grand lodge. who not only
doubted It's wisdom, taking the ground
that the government. control and direc'
ton Of all Pythian affairs should remain
in the supreme lodge Itself; but also In
sisted hat the legislation was absolute.
ly illegal, inasmuch as h supreme
lodge was wholly without power to con.
fer the legislative p~rerogative upon O
supreme council. Since that onven
tion. and within a recent date, these OPP
posltionists have taken the opinion OF
eminent lawyers, who agree that the
supreme lodge is wholly without power
to create another supreme body within
the order, and thai the supreme courts
OF certain states have so decided. The
existence OF a supreme council OF n
form rank is, they report, in direct con
fict with certain sections of the constl
tuition and is consequently void. Reso'
lutions have already been drawn and
will be introduced in the convention OF
the supreme lodge next week for the
repeal of the law creating the supreme
council, on the ground that 1t is useless
In it's purpose and also unconstitutional
In It's character.

table. The eldest paused long enough
In her conversation to order vanilla ice
cream for two. When 1t came the eldest
said to the waiter:
"Bing me the red pepper"
The waiter looked amazed a moment
and then bent his head nearer the table
and asked:
"Beg pardon, ma'am. what did you
ask for?"
"Red pepper"
The walter looked puzzled; he stood
and shifted his towel from arm to
the other. But the oma was not look
ing at him; she was talking very rapidly
to her companion, who was listening In
tently. The walter turned on his heel
and went back to the head waiter.

woman and then stepped back, folded
his arms and watched. The woman.
without looking at the walter or paus-
ing in her conversation. reached out for
the box and deliberately sprinkled red
pepper over the top of her Ice cream.
BY this time two or three OF the other
walters, including the head waiter, had
sauntered near. where they could see,
and the look of establishment on their
faces was q study. The woman began
to eat the cream slowly. talking between
~spoonfuls. After the women had zone

the time about teaching. But ons OF
