[From our Special Correspondent
II TR/2 TO
THE MAMMOTH CAVE of KY.

DEAR EDITOR With your per-
mission propose to give a descrip-
ton of our trip to the Mammoth
Cave, Kentucky:
Leaving Louisville on Monday
morning, June 10th, we reached the
Cave Hotel in due time, but being ia
tigued We did not enter upon our ex-
plorations until after dinner. The
party consisted of several ladies and
gentlemen from your State, and sew
eral others who went there for the
same purpose, 4. G. to see the cave.
One must see party attired for
the cave to appreciate their appear
ance. The "caye suits" for the ladies
are somewhat picturesque, while those
for the gentlemen are simply-well
suffice it to say your correspondent
wore his only one day, as he did not
think it very attractive, either in I'll or
material.
Promptly at p. m. we took up our
line of march, led by the accommo-
dating guide, James "a very in
telligen; colored ma& Winding our
way down deep ravine We reached
the mouth of the cave, which is about
Eve hundred yards from the hotel.
1t has a wild, weird look, as, standing
just above the entrance, you gaze
down into its depths of darkness
Our lamps were soon lighted and we
started on our journey, to make what
is called the "short route"
Before proceeding further, it may
be we'll to give few facts about the
cave. 1t is situated in Edmonson
county, Kentucky, about nine mile;
from Cave City, on the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad, from which place
it is reached by stage. 1t was dis
covered in 1909, by man named
Houchins, who ran a bear into it
During the war of 1912 saltpeter wal
manufactured in this cave the ole
vats still remaining in good state o.
preservation. Though sixty yearl
have passed away the ruts, worn by
the cart wheels used in transporting
the saltpeter, are still plainly visible
in the now almost petrifed earth
For many years after this the cav,
was considered of little value, and a
one time the property on which it

rayed leaves; the feathery chalices
of the cactus hang from the clefts
the night blooming cereus opens Sc
curely her snowy cap, for the morning
never comes to close it; "the tulip is
here a virgin, and knows not that her
sisters above are clothed in scarlet Of
shame" Among so much magnif-
cence it was difficult to select special
objects for the memory to retain.
But the "Last Rose of Summer de-
serves mention. This is a large white
rose, eight inches in diameter, which
hangs from the ceiling, and, strange
to say, is the last flower in the avenue,
and there are no others in the imme-
diats vicinity. This fact gives it soli-
tary beauty which it would not other
wise possess.
The cross attracted considerable at
tention. This consists of two crevices
in the ceiling, intersecting each other
at right angles, forming maltese
cross. These crevices are lined with
flowers of plaster ofparis. The cross
is about eight feet long.
Leaving these enchanted scenes
where we see Gods appreciation ofthe
beautiful we soon crossed the "Rocky
Mountains" and reached "Crogans
Hail." the end of the cave, having
travelled a distance of nine miles.
Wearily we set out on our return.
Several of our party had been too
tired to proceed beyond "Cleveland's
Avenue" and had already started
back.
Finally the caves mouth was
reached and toiling up the hill we
soon surrounded the we'll filed tables
of the dining.room, and l opine that
that there was not much margin for
the landlord that night.
In conclusion / would say We had a
most delightful trip, although we were
all very tired. ID.

been afflicted with chronic rheumatish for
Thirty years, from his right hip to his foot,
having to use crutch and a cane, at times
so painful as to utterly incapacitate him
from attending 10 his business. Having
tried every remedy known, without effect,
except Gillilands Pain Killer, he was
finally induced to try it. A second applica-

and third effected permanent cure. Mr..

The Detroit Free Press mourns the
loss of smart boy in this manner !:
The public will regret to learn that
the family of James Otis, Porter
street, is to remove to Saginaw, TAX
ing young Johnny along. The boy
started out two years ago by shooting
himself Two months after he chok-
ed himself with fish bone. A few
days after he built fire in the barn
and called out the steamers. He then
swallowed top, got run over by an
ice wagon, fell into the river, was lost
for three days, and first and last he
has been fountain of local news,
whose value cannot be estimated on a
slate four feet square. Ifthe Saginaw
reporter only commences on him right
he will "pan OUT at least three times
per week. He should be furnished
with box of matches, horse pistol
and plenty of gunpowder, and it won't
do any harm to pat him on the back
occasionally and tell him that his ef-
forts are appreciated.
One of the most remarkable men in
Mexico is General Manuel Lozada, an
independent chieftain, who prides
himself on having in his veins the
blood of the Montezumas. For many
years he has been independent of the
government, has his own army, col
lects his own revenues, makes his own
guns, and declares war and makes
peace to suit himself. The population
of his canton is 10000, all Indians,
and under his complete control. He
maintains the most stable and orderly
government in Mexico. He is far.
mer by desires and tastes, and one of
the hardest-working men in the can
ton. His people are comfortable AMI
happy, yet he cannot write his name.
That sort of thing is done for him by
priest who is always by his side.
An Irish correspondent of an Eng
lish paper, after stating the fact that
every steamer is loaded with emf
grants for America, many being left
behind for want Of accommoda-
tions on board, says: 81 sincere
ly hope my poor countrymen are "im-
proving their position" in going
to the Far West : but if emigrat1
on this scale continues little longer
l think Ireland will become a large
pasture farm. Already several large
farmers in my locality have sold of
their milch COWS and turned to feeding
dry stock, in consequence Of the search
ty of female servants"
In Cleveland, Ohio, the other day,
a young woman called at tailor's es-
tablishment to procure work. One ol
the workmen, an entire stranger to
her, being attracted by her appearance
struck up a talk, and in less than an
hour they were made man aud wife. Oh
course such protracted courtshiI
afforded every opportunity for the
young lady to become thoroughly &C.
quainted with the disposition aud
character of her spouse, and a happy
married life must be the result.

1t is now owned by company, and
is leased by Mr.. d. L. Graves, who is
the proprietor of the hotel, and who
knows how to make his guests COM
Portable and happy.
It would be vain to attempt de-
scription Of the many interesting
scenes in the cave. Nothing but
sight can give any adequate idea of
their grandeur. / will therefore con-
tent myself with brief running ac-
count of our trip through this subter"
ranean world, leaving the imagination
of the reader to draw the pictures as
l proceed.
Passing along the "narrows," and
leaving the saltpeter vats to our right,
the first place of interest we reached
was the Methodist Church. This is a
large apartment, eighty feet in height.
1t is said meetings were held there
fifty years ago, and the logs used as
seats are still there. A projecting
rock some fifteen feet high served as a
pulpit platform.
Passing on by "Wandering Will
lies Spring." we entered the Gothic
avenue, saw the "Giant's Coffin" and
reached the "Gothic Chapel" This
is very large room, the ceiling ap-
pearing to be supported by gigantic
stalactites, which extend to the floor.
The stony icicles are large enough to
form ribbed pillars, and fair gothic
arches. Three of these stalactite pill
lars form the alter. Our guide told
us that three couples had been united
in marriage before this altar. The
first couple we're driven to this sub
terranean chapel because the fair
bride had solemnly promised her
mother that she would not marry any
one on the face of this earth! So she
had to 60 under the earth. The guide
said he knew of no reason for the
other marriages there unless the par
ties wished to "run matrimony in to
the ground" Next we reached the
"Devil's Arm Chair" This is very
large pillar, with very comfortable
seat in it. Nearly all our party
tried the chair and as Miss McF--
sat in it some one remarked, "Now il
is forever purified" and asXour hum
BILE servant in turn took they seat, the
remark was made, "Now tie old fel

mediately. Passing on our way We
came to a small body of clear water
named "Lake Purity" from which We
drank, ard fastened by objects o.
minor interest to the famous "Stal
Chamber" This is sixty feet in
height, seventy in width and five hun
dred in length. The ceiling is com
posed of Black Gypsom, and is stud
} ded with innumerable white points
which, by the dim light, presents 6
resemblance of stars. Here all oul
lamps were hidden or extinguished
and the guide threw a faint ligbt
; upon the ceiling, and most of the
party Immediately went into ecstacie'
over the starry heaven which they
} fancied they saw.
By fM the grandest sight on the
"short pte" is "Gorin's Dome

ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES.


The public mind in Gold Hill was
thrown into a state Of startling excite
ment this morning by the announce
ment that II. II. Flagg, the well-known
banker and stock-broker had suspended
business. The immediate u WINS
that he was short on Savage about six
hundred shares, and also short on
Gould & Curry and somo other
mining stocks. As the news became
more and more public, men gathered
i'm knots and crowds along the side
walks earnestly discussing the subject,
and wistfully regarding the closed iron
doors Of Flagg's place Of business. a
Mas Meeting
Was the result, called together about
noon at Miners Union Hall. The
meeting was called to order and Judge
Hall chosen Chairman and S. w.
Chubbuck Secretary. All not in
terested rs creditors retired, and
the meeting proceeded to business.
After considerable discussion and the
passage of sundry resolutions rs to the
proper course to pursue, there was q
Committee AppoIated,
Consisting of w. II. Hall, r. j.
Butler, H. Huguet, s. W. Chubbuck,
and W. Dunlap. This committee are
to examine fully into the matter OF
this suspension, investigate the books
and accounts, and act for the creditors,
and to them all creditors are to pre-
sent their claims. The committee Will
present a report at as early a date rs
possible, after which 1t Is deemed best
for the creditors to appoint Trustees to
take full charge OF the business and es-
tares involved, the object being to keep
It out Of bankruptcy II possible, and so
make the worst out Of 1t.
The Rise In savage,
So sudden and unexpected Is what
caused tho suspension. Mr.. Flagg was
not able to fill his orders, therefore
was forced to suspend. Having en-
loved the full confidence Of everybody
Including largely the working classes,
and regarded as very substantial as u
business man, and Of perfect integrity
rs a good, reliable man and citizen,
no suspension Of the kind in this
county could possibly have created
such a deep-felt sensation. The nu-
merous friends Of Mr.. Flagg earnestly
s~ympathise with him in his misfortune
and freely hope that he will come out
all right yet.
