Meteor Creates a Sensation.

Last Sunday evening shortly al
6 o'clock what was probably an explod-
ing meteor created something OF a
sensation in the Virginias and Mary
land. The phenomenon was observed
by many persons in this vicinity. II
was in the nature OF brilliant ligh,
that flashed for an instant and was
gone Mrs. Edwin S. Jarrett, Of Wild
Goose Farm, was among those who
observed it. She saw the flash, which
was vivid enough to illuminate the
trees and buildings and cause them tc
stand out in bright relief against the
evening sky. Frederick, Howard anl
Carroll counties, Maryland, from The
newspaper accounts, seemed to have
been nearest the meteor. G. S. Gilbert
telegraph operator at Mount Airy juno
ton, saw the fash, and said that the
noise that followed caused the windows
to rattle. He said that there were three
explosions in quick succession and tina
they sounded like thunder. He sai
the disturbance was felt all along The
railroad from Washington Junction I,
Baltimore: Other railroad men in tina
section noticed the light and heard {
report. Near Baltimore, it is reported
by several persons as the entire SKY
was Illuminated for a moment, the
object was seen to burst and throw
fragments from it, Following the
thunder-like noise, heavy fog settlee
that bore the odor Of sulphur.
II was doubtless an immense meteor
that swept through the air unusuall,
close to the earth and probably ex
ploded from the intense heat caused BY
its swift passage through the atmos
phere.

In MemOriam.

In fond but tender memory OF my
brother, J. R. Kibler, who departed this
life October IL, 1918.
We wonder why our dear brother
was taken from us so soon-at the
early age OF So years. On earth he was
doing his work so well for our Almigh-
ty Father, but God is just, and lookei
down from above on our home anc
plucked from our midst His choice;
blooming rose the fairest OF all, Roland
one whom He needed TO walk with
where there is no pain or sorrow. Blu
still We miss him so much.
Thou hast called from our home rose
Only those who were acquainted know
A loving word, Christian deed,
Our dead brother would always heed,
But now we part, TO meet no more,
Till God calls us TO His celestial shore
Written by his brother, c. A. Kibler.

 271 Nassau Avenue,
 Brooklyn, N. !.
 My dear MT. Kennedy:
 It is with regret and the deepest sympathy that I write you at this time, substantial ting the cablegram which you have already received, mo- tifying you of the death of your son. Lieut.. William F. Kennedy. While 1 know that no words of mine can help a great deal at this time, nev- ertheless, I wish to tell you that his company and his entire unit unite with me in expressing to you our deepest sympathy.
 Feeling that more detailed ac- count of his brief sickness and bur ial may be of some consolation to you. I gladly give all the information n Tossible.
 Your son was stricken. with bron- chial pneumonia and was taken to the camp hospital, where the best 1 medical care and attention was giV- 1 en him. All that science and medi- i cal attention could do was done fo- i kim, but he passed away at 2:10 D. ! m on the morning of February 24, 1919.
 i We laid him to rest in the Ameri- ! can cemetery, No. 552, located near i Nerneuil, Nieuvre, France, Tuesday i morning, February 25, 1919, with all the honor and ceremony due a true | American soldier who has given his ] life for his country. His grave is ] located in Row 3, Grave No. p. i Your son was a good. true, loyal , soldier His willingness to heed in i struction and obey commands won for him the highest respect of his i officers, and his kind, Jovial spirit se- | cured for him the love and fellowship of all the men of his company. He 1 was a true friend and Q most agree i able companion. Our love went out to him, and our sympathy goes to ! you at this time And, while there is an empty place in your home and l in your life. yet there should be, and there no doubt is, that note of pride 1 that his was a life well spent, giver in the greatest cause and for the l greatest principles that the world has | ever knowr We feel, and you i should feel, that your son died jus as much hero for these principle: as had he fallen on the bloodstainec l battlefield. A life given for hi | country, for humanity and his Goo cannot and will not be soon forgot
 ten.
 There can always be that comfort which is the greatest comfort of all
 that your son lived a life worth living and gave it for the greatest cause the cause of democracy. civilization and Christianity. and. while we can not understand the mysterious work ings of that Unseen Hand, neverthe less our faith at all times should be such that we can truly say, "Thol knewest best, Thy will be done." Jesus while our hearts are bleeding Der the spoils that death hath won We would at this solemn meeting Calmly say, Thy will be done." By thy hand the boon was given, | Thou hast taken but thine own; Lord of earth and God of heaven, | Evermore Thy will be done." l May the blessings and the comfor | of the Master rest with you at thi time and continue to abide with yol
