Democratic State Central Committee.

The Democratic State Central Com
mittrr met in Baltimore, on "Wednesday.
Like its predecessors, it was remarkable
for the absolute harmony existing among
the "inS'' and the absence of nearly all
the advertised special features. The
meeting itself was largely perfunctory.
as was natural. because the county mcm-
bcrs had little interest in the matter,
further than to ratify the wants of the
City members. The main object was, of
course. to name II Campaign Committee
for the Mayorlty fight. and this com
mittcc turned out to be entirely new tim

BEAUTIFUL SCENERY.
1t is along Barren river that the more rug
ged scenery is found, and for this reason
it is the more beautiful part of the trip.
Here the forest-covered hills. and bare rock
cliffs tower from 200 to 400 feet straight
up and dicular,' as the negro porter said,
| above the river. "SaIIy's Rock is one of
the most beautiful of the hills, at the top
of which a great rock projects over the
edge of the stream, 800 feet above the
water. 1t gets its name from the fact that
for several years a young woman named
Sally, who lived on the hill. made a prac-
tice of coming out on the rock to hail every
steamer that passed, whether by night or
by day. Sally has now gone out into the
wide, wide world, 1t is said, and has taken
up her abode in Evansville. but in her alb
sence a sister named Nelly has taken up
her megaphone where she laid it down and
now does the hsiling stunt.
Browns lock, but fifteen miles from
Bowling Green, is the most picturesque of
them all, and an idea Of the height of the
hill shown back of the old mill in the illus
tration is had when 1t is known that the
mill is a seven-story str lcture on the river
side, but that one can walk into the win
lows of the top story from the hillside in
the rear. Mt. Zion hill, a little below
Browns lock, is the highest point along
the river, the little church that stands on
its crest being over 400 feet above the
water.
Bowling Green, at the end of the river
trip, is an interesting and attractive little
city of some 5000 inha bitants. In marked
contrast with the settlements and towns
passed en- route IL is altogether modern,
boasting a street car system, electric lights,
fine parks. excellent streets and many
beautiful residences. Reservoir Park, which
is just at the edge Of the city, IS on the
top of a hill from which a magnificent
view Of the city and of the valley for a
radius of ten miles can be had.
From Bowling Green to cave
is but a matter of an hour or so by
rail, and the cave is the same old story
beautiful and wonderful, but no more so,
in many respects, than our own Indiana
cave. of Wyandotte.
Then back to Bowling Green and aboard
the Parke City this time, for the return
trip to Evansville day and a half more
and among those hills.
"You-all like the hills?" drawled a Ken
tuckian on the boat returning. Then yo'
ought 10 see some real hills. Now up on
CASPIAN creek, a few miles oveh yondah,
where the folks live in the valleys In the
cabins with the big fiahplaces in one end,
they can look up the chimneys and see the
caows a comm homei"
Gaspar creek, unfortunately, is not navi-
gable. c. s. WATTS.
