FORT THOMAS.
''The Wesl Point of the West" and
lis Attractions a Gould
Library.

Cincinnati with its hills and dales and
dips and risings. founded 112 summers
ago, is often called THE Queen City of
the West" and though this is painting it
too brightly from an outsiders point of
view. it Is nevertheless a fact that Gin
cinnau. taken as a whole. is a picfur-
esque and delightful city. Among the
many show places that are really above
par might be mentioned Coney island.
Chester park, Spring Grove cemetery, the
Zoo. Eden park, the suburban hills and
more particularly Fort Thomas.
Growing one Of the highest hillockS
Of Kentucky, just across the river and
about i've miles from the center Of Gin
clnnati, Fort Thomas looms up before
the visitor. Situated on the shores of
the treacherous Ohio river-which annu-
ally oyertlows its banks and. although it
seems incredible. nevertheless. according
to statistics, changes from the depth Of
three TO seyenty-Gne feej-the fort COM
handing an unsurpassed view of the riv-
er as 1t winds its way gracefully be-
tween two famous states. From the
brow of the bluff nlies of beautiful
woodland can he seen.
The builing of the post was com
menced in 1890 and in a few years il
became &Luwa rs one of the finest inland
forts in the United States: in fact, it IS
averred that Gen. Sheridan, being
charmed by its romantic surrounding
called this spot the West Point of the
West owing to the striking similarity
Of the two places; West Point overlook
ing the Hudson and Fort Thomas the
| Ohio. The rolling ground and the ar
| rangement Of the buildings into a sort
of circle give it handsome appearance.
| During the late unpleasanmess with
| Spain the fort was turned into general
hospital and hundreds of Uncle Sans
wounded braves were tenderly cared foe
by trained nurses. Being the home OF
the dashing Sixth cavalry, people tockcd
