ROCK FORMATIONS IN MANlToU cAvERNs
visitor is provided with a lamp. A
long, narrow and boarded passage
loads into the vestlbulc OF the cave.
The scenes here becomes weird and
strange. The lights flicker and threat
en- to leave the party in utter darkness.
Tho women, as they move about. re-.
mind one of those ten Hebrew maidens
who went TO seek the bridegroom, only
the modern crowd returns to the day
light and none loses her way.
The formations In the cave are Great
cd by the slow and long continued fall
of water heavily impregnated with
lime. Many of the figures are fear
fully and wonderfully made. Great
stalactltes hang from the roof, while
on the loor beneath are stalngmites OF
equal size and interest At one place
there is n pile OF stones which serves
as q monument 70 General Grant, Cen

rock. Soon after General McClelland
followed and since then many others
hare lovingly added their tributes to
the dead warrior.
The visitor Is led from room to room,
One is called the opera house, and the
ceiling of this room is 90 feet high.
Two galleries can be distinctly OBJ
served, and up high, over the place
where the stage should be. is an organ
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1900-02-06

This instrument consists of number
of slender strips like ribbons, and they.
too. are of limestone. A man takes
small wooden stick and strikes the diff
ferent keys of this natural wonder and
music peals forth. The thing seems
more like a harp than an organ.
In some places the surface of the
cave is of a brown color. while in other
places 1t Is pure as crystal. AS you
pass through the corridors you can see
outlines that look like n flock Of sheep,
baskets of fruit, vegetables. animals
and strong resemblances to human
faces and heads. The temperature Of
the cave is SO degrees, and this
changes neither summer nor winter.
About 10000 people have entered the
cave in single year.
The story of the discovery of the
Grand cayerns, which took place in
1881, is interesting. A young man,
George w. Snider by name, now Of
Colorado Springs, and friend,
Charles Reinhard, were out hunting
They had wounded a deer and were
pursuing their game when Mr.. Snider
observed white vapor rising out of
the ground. He paused In the chase
and tied a red handkerchief on tree
near the spot. He then resumed the
pursuit of the deer. When they re-
turned, the existence of the cave was
| made known.
| There Is Il bit of tragedy connected
with the history of the Grand caverns.
When the discoverers first entered their
blackness, they walked about in fear
and trembling, Perhaps they thought
n wild and hungry bear made the
place his home, but no living thing
was encountered by the invaders. In
stead III skeleton Of human form
and near by the rennins OF two wolves
were found. Investigation makes 1t
certain that the bones were those of
an Indian maiden. Beads and other
feminine ornaments still clung to the
decaying skeleton. Whether the wolves
destroyed the poor girl ms she sought
shelter from wlntry winds we do not
know. She may have been buried there
In the belief that her scpulcher would
never be disturbed,

Glory.


Oh, what glory must there be for him who hears
The happy people hailing him with cheers
Whose fame Is everywhere,
For whom banners float In air,
Who has proved his valor the bloody field
Or won in splendid battle on the wave!
What heights OF glory to him are revealed
In the moment o! the cheering for the bravsi
What glory must be his who rides along
The behcd OF all beholdcrs In the throng,
Who reads love in every eye
As he proudly passes by,
Who can know that he is numbered with the
great.
Whose name will give his children's children
pridel
What glorious reflections must clate
The statesman as he bows from side TO sidel
The heroes and the who rule are few.
There may never be a chance for me or you;
We may never hear u cheer
From the crowd when wc appear,
But there is a Joy the least Of us may know;
The pride that keeps aname within the breast
Oi him, however high. however low.
wiO has found some work that he can do the
nsst.

Hush their complainings thy silence below.

kilograms from Pekin, say: AT a
meeting OF the foreign ministers late
Wednesday evening the terms of the
joint note were agreed to, including the
British notifications. The ministers ie-
fuse to disclose anything, believing that
the home governments should give tue
particulars to the public.
The officials at Washington are uu-

fcations referred TO in the Pekin dis
patch are, but il is believed they rested
upon the exclusion OF the "irrevocable"
clause, which this government has in
sisted must not appear in the preamble
to the note, and the preamble, il is un-
derstood, will not contain that word.
1t is believed that the following points
cover the essential features of the agree
ment;
The punishment OF the officials guilty
OF the Boxer outrages. The payment
Of indemnity for the wrongs inflicted
by the Boxers to the persons, corpora
tions and societies which have suffered.
The revision of commercial treaties.

NEW RUSSIAN CANAL.
Belgian Capitalists WIN Construct a e0-mile
Waierway.

Belgian capitalists are planning a
canal between the Volga and the Don
rivers at the point where they are sep
arated by only about 90 miles. The
chain of hills on the right bank of .he
Volga offers considerable obstacle, but
one which is not considered unsur-
mountable. The cost is estimated at
$4,000, 600 or 100000
Representatives of the Belgian capi-
talists will arrive in St, Petersburg,
Russia, within few weeks to negotiate
with the ministries OF finance and ways
of communication. This canal will give
the Volga, the greatest river in Europe,
an outlet to the Black sea and connect
the Caspian and the Black seas. The
minister OF ways of communication,
Prince Khilkoff, will ask for appropria-
tions to the amount of So,ooo,ooo rou-
bles for the approaching year, as
against 100000 roubles last year.
Hall OF this amount will be for new
rolling stock and half for construction.

kilograms from Manila say: The

practically the same order as they ar
rived in the Philippine islands. They

pletion OF many posts and the checking
OF operations will result in renewed in-
surgent activity. The announcement Of
the early commencement OF transporta-
ton home OF the volunteers caused SUR
prise. General HUGHES reports that a.

Omaha, Neo.. has never known such
another reipn OF terror as that in which
it now struggles. Edward Cudahy, Jr,
who limped painfully into the home II
his millionaire father at a nearly hour
Thursday morning. had just finished an
experience with kidnapers which he will
long remember.
The boy was carried by his captors
on Tuesday evening into deserted
house on the outskirts of the city. and
there chained to the floor like beast
while the brigands bargained with his
father for his release
Edward Cudahy, the millionaire pack
er. paid $4,000 in gold for the release
OF his son. The father was threatened
through letter that unless he produc-
cd the money at once the eyes of his
son would be burned out. The half
frenzied parent drove to a lonely road
and left the gold in a bag, at the spot
indicated by the brigands in their let

Edward Cudahy, Jr., related the cir
cumstanccs attending his abduction and
his experience while in the hands OF the
kidnapers. He appears well, though
pale and somewhat emaciated as The
result OF his terrible ordeal His wrists
still bear the marks OF the handouts
placed upon him by his captors. He
says there were six of the men, but
that all wore masks whenever in his
presence and that the only one ne
would attempt to identity was the one
who kept guard over him during his
incarceration in the lonely building in
which he was held He thinks he could
recognize the mans voice, as it differed
much from that OF any OF the others.
