A Date of Dates.
It is strange that Americans with j
a passion for creating new holidays
have never made a campaign for the
i 19th of April. As the date of important
national events it ^vershadows in
numbers, if not importance, the 4th of
July.
Burke's speech against taxing the
colonies. 1774; the battle of Lexington,
1775; Holland's acknowledgment
of our independence, 1782* the conclusion
of the Bulfer-Clayton treaty,

I REI) HOT METAL OVER GEORGIA.
I
Meteors Explode With Such Violence
That Buildings are Shaken.
*
Pitts, Ga., April 20.?Meteors of
I the aerolite type that traveled
I
through the air, apparently in a
southwesterly direction, exploded
with such violence close to the earth
here today that buildings were shaken.
One negro at work in the field
where a six pound i -ce of the red
hot metal struck, unearthed the fragment
five feet below the surface and
fifteen minutes after it fell it was
too hot to handle.
A shower of these aerolites fell
near here. Many pieces were picked
from an open field into which most
nf tiiom fpii. the largest w'ere sent
to Atlanta for analysis.
The explosion here was heard for
miles. Farmers telephoned here to
determine the cause of the explosion,
j The aerolite, of vivid brightness,
| was plainly seen in the cloudless sky
and its trail was visible for two
minutes.
Showering Hot Metal.
Macon. Ga., April 20.?A meteor
or a series of meteors, passed over
I middle and southern Georgia about 9
| o'clock this morning, exploding and
| showering hot metal as heavy as iron,
| according to reports received here toi
night. It was seen at Macon. It exploded
over Cordele, Pitts, some distance
east of Cordele, and Albany,
! southwest of here.
At Pitts, in Wilcox county, more
j than a dozen heavy explosions were
I heard, followed by a sharp cracking
I in the air for several minutes and r.ed
hot metal, some pieces weighing six
| pounds each, fell to the earth, trailing
black smoke. The sky was cloudless.
The Inajority of the pieces fell in
open fields and so far as known tonight
no one was injured.

Hawkinsville People Excited.
Hawkinsville, Ga., April 20.?Residents
here believed that an explosion
high over this city at 9 o'clock
this morning was an aeroplane and
that the machine and its pilot had

Pulaski county was combed for
wreckage, but none was found, and it
was not until reports of aerolites fall-^

south of here tonight that the mystery
was solved.
FUNERAL OF THE EMPRESS.
Presence of Kaiser Husband and the
Crown Prince Not Allowed.
Augusta Victoria, former empress
of Germany, rests in an antique temple
at Potsdam, royal suburb of Berlin,
after a day of mourning pageantry
which recalls the most imposing
days of the Hohenzollern reign, according
to a Berlin cable.
The funeral was marked by the absence
of only two of the notable figures
which in other days would have
been prominent in the ceremonies.
Neither the former kaiser nor his eldest
son was present.
But, in addition the four sons who
were permitted to be present, and
scores of princes and princesses more
or less remotely connected with the
former reigning house, hundreds of
members of the former emperor's
household, and scores of military notables,
headed by the old army leadI
