An Interesting Find
WILLIAMS, Oct. 21, 1902.

the country, but never having had the pleasure of seeing one of these strange visitors until recently, will endeavor to give your readers a brief account of the descension and discovery of one of these mete- orical phenomena, which l now have in my possession. About a year ago MT. Thomas Morrel, of Prescott, Arizona, was a visitor at my ranch, some fifteen miles south east from Williams. One evening about or o'clock MT. Morrel's attention was drawn to a bright light in the upper elements, and on looking up observed what appeared to be a large ball of fire rapidly de- scending towards the earth. He at once gave the alarm to those in the house, of whom were Mrs. Nor rel, G. R. Boulden and wife, E. l.. Boulden and myself, but before teor had reached the ground with a heavy "thud" sound, and all that was then visible was a streak of light and many sparks slowly de- scending. The next day all hands turned out to find the intruder. but all in vain, and not until the 17th of this month was the meteor dis covered. The discovery was acci- dental by my son, Everett, while repairing fence near by, who called the attention of MT. John Boynton, who was near by, to his discovery, and both agreed that the stranger was not a native of this county; but the fact of a meteor having fallen in the vicinity a year previous did not enter their minds, but when they related the story of the find to me I at once thought of the Morrel me
 teor, and they both agreed with me at once. MT. Joseph Dixon's at tention was also called to the spot, and altogether we made a minute examination of the find and all the surroundings. The meteor struck the ground between two logs, and it being small l-about the size of large water bucket, and its specific gravity being about one-half that of our native malpai rock, being a porous, metallic iron, black in color, with a clear ring like crockery- ware-it had evidently buried itself in the ground when it fell, hence our failure to find it at the time; but the action of the elements had exposed a small portion of the top, hence the find. It was evidently very hot and almost in a liquid state when it fell, as it had mashed and spread out, not unlike soft dough. It struck on a grass sod, mashing the sod some ten inches below the surface. All the circum- stances and surroundings go to prove it, and there is no possible doubt about its identification. Sam pies are being sent to different in stitutions of science for analysis, the results of which will be pub | lished in the NEWS sample of

AFTER A PREACHER.

A clergyman, Rev. George l.. Me-

acterized as dangerous"

lngman. and was told that that church
was not intended for people in his cir
cumstancese, but that he could attend
the mission church around the corner.
His conclusion was. that II would be
necessary to establish churches for
worklngmen, as there were societies
for them, and he added that II was a
surprise to him that the worklngmen
do not take to drink more generally,
as consequence OF their exclusion
from fashionable churches.
This preaching Is characterized rs
dangerous But is not the statement
true? Is there not class distinction,
caste arrangement, In fashionable
churches, that excludes common people
not only from the high-priced pews
but almost from the magnificent build
ings themselves? II II Is true, there is
more danger in the condition that ex.
lists than Is the warning lifted against
It.
Christ came to teach the brotherhood
OF man. The effect OF His teaching
was to level the social distinctions that
were built up by man. In His church,
there were no longer any dividing lines
between citizens and aliens. bond or
free. slave or master rich or poor. They
were all placed on one level-that Of
sinners for whom there was but one
way Of salvation. The church cannot
again rear the dividing partitions be-
tween castles and classes, without be-
trayIng the cause of the Master, and
this, 1t is to be feared is done in too
many instances.

THE PAROLE LAW IN FRANCE

The very best results seem 10 have
been obtained in France by the appli-
cation OF the probationary system for
young law-breakers. According to the
French statute, In cases Of first OF.
fences not involving more than a couple
OF years Imprisonment Judgment can
be suspended. and the offender given a
chance Of reforming. And II he keeps
his record good for five years, he Is for.
given.
1t Is claimed that the result of this
policy has been highly beneficial to So
ciety, Previous to 1891. we are told. the
records showed that about 40 per cent
Of the total number Of "first offenders"
became habitual criminals This per
centage has now been reduced to
fraction over 5 per cent According TO
the previous record. 100000 "nrst Of
tenders" should have broken their
promise to reform and been returned
to court But only 1900 became Of.
tenders again.
This Is regarded as an extraordinary
showing, But II Is probably correct
Many younger persons who commit Sc
rlous errors, do so on account OF
thoughtlessness. or weakness in the
hour Of temptation. or through various
circumstances over which they failed
to exercise the proper control. But II
they are not bad at heart, It will be
easier for them TO recover and pursue
a path Of righteousness, II they are not
first branded as criminals, or ex-con-
yicts. The reformation Is easier than
II would be after a prolonged contact
with hardened criminals, TO whom
crime has become a second nature.
The success OF the probationary sys-
TEN in France Is said TO have been so
great that the legislature win be asked
to further extend It's operations The
idea Is TO give 70 justices OF the peace
the power TO apply the mercy Of the
parole law TO more serious offenders
who confess their guilt. In this way
they could escape the publicity and ig.
nominy OF trial and avoid the social
octracism which attends It. For those
who refuse to plead guilty and yet are
convicted, Il Is proposed TO confer pow
or on the Jury to recommend the ap-
pllcatlon OF the law.
The law has not been accepted in
France without serious objections, and
II public sentiment now Is In favor Of
further extension Of its operations,
the only rational conclusion IL that It
has worked wen, II by It. thousands
9i offenders have been kept from be.
coming more or less permanent in
mates Of prisons, It has been means
Of saving to the country In more senses
than one.

AUSTRIAN STRIKERS.

| In Gallcia, Austria, farm laborers are
en- strike for increased wages. And
this Is no wonder. for Il Is said that the
men earn from 16 to 80 cents q day,
while the women, who also toll In the
fields, earn from to 10 cents.
The conditions in Galcia among the
laborlng classes Is therefore pltiabe
Famine prevails, and the annual NOR
tally among the people on this ac-
count, is estimated ut $4,000 There
have been conflicts between the strlk-
ers and the military. and many Of the
former have been killed, AS a result,
there Is some talk OF ending the strike
by compromise
II is justly observed that the status
Of the poorest laborer In this country
Is that of a prince, II compared to the
conditions under which those peasants
of Galicia live and toll, The striking
coal miners in the anthracite region
are wealthy. If compared to the strikers
In Galicla. And many Of them are
foreigners too, to whom the Galician
conditions are not unknown. Why do
they strike. then? Why do any Ameri-
can laborer with princely wages
strike?
The fact Is that they do not, and
cannot, compare their situation with
that Of others, thousands Of miles
away. But the comparison IL made
with the thousands Of this country who
earn more, ana that Is what causes dis
satisfaction. Poverty Is comparatively
easy to bear when all share It about
alike, but when wealth Is created and
unevenly distributed, dissatisfaction is
almost sure to follow II Is easier to
