crpt the fat man OF the party, who IL
probably still grumbling about IL.
At intervals along the walks the
guide would set fire 10 some iDiian'
mable material, lighting up the OBJ
jects OF interest aud bringing out the
beauties Of the formations. Now aud
then he'd count the party, 80 ~ to be
sure they were all there. AT first ev'
cry one desired TO get near the guide,

way in which some coDgenial young
couple Unanswered TO be at the end

We have been in the cave seven or
eight hours, aud nearly NIL the time
! on the go, yet there II little feeling OF
fatigue. The air is cool-53 degrees

/ bracing that one does not feel wearied.
/ We are hungry, though, and are ready

The question has been asked. How
does the Mammoth Cave compare
with the Luray CayerDs p II l. as II

Washington, majestic In les greatness.
that shows at once tbe master mind
that planned it-and there you have
the comparison. The cottage IL the
Luray Cayern-the Capitol II the
Mammoth Cave.
There are many more beautiful for
nations in Luray, a greater number OF
brilliant and interesting objects TO at
tract and please the eye. But Ia the
Mammoth Cave there is n magni6-
cence In the iinmensity Of the cham
bers and domes that appeals 10 the
mind-a grandeur that coinpels the
admiration OF even the most thought
less. And there IL Dothing that can
compare with Echo River-the most
thrilling OF all the wonders OF these
wondrous underground domains.
There are no modern improve
ments' in the cave, such as electric
lights, board walks and so on. Every
thing Is as nature made II, save here
and there, where 1t has been found
necessary, bridges have been made
aud steps or ladders set up. We liked
it better because it was so simple and
unchanged.

THE truth about little Delaware and
her great men is refreshing Here is
glimmer OF it from the New York sun:
Delaware is frequently spoken Of as
a pocket borough, but as q matter of
fact the phrase is not so applicable TO
Delaware as to many a large state. Elk
Secretary Bayard is the only member OF
his family who has exercised any large
influence in the state for nearly twenty
years, and there never was a time when
he used his influence to eoerce his own
party, while the three Saulsburys, infu-
entail as they were In their own county
OF Kent and In the southern county Of
Sussex, were never able to control politics

ough 1t was during the lifetime Of John

The recent attempt TO make Delaware
pocket borough and bring. 1t under the
rule Of bossism is that made by Senator
Higgins
