The Colossal Cavern.

The Louisville and Nashville railroad re-
Gently purchased the Colossal Cavern
which was discovered in 1895 by Robert
Woodson, while searching for a spring. 1t
was partially explored in 1896 but never
thoroughly explored until year ago, when
the railroad company bought the property
and set men at work building paths, widen
ing the entrance and other narrow passages
and lowering the floor wherever necessary
to let people pass through comfortably
They have now about twelve miles of roads
capable of easy travelling, and the entire
trip may be made without great eXertion
in about six hours. Colossal Cavern is
not so large Mammoth Cave, but in some
respects is even more wonderful. 1t con-
tains many beautiful effects which the
company is protecting from the vandals
who have done much damage in the
other caves. In order to preserve the nat
ural whiteness of the walls oil lamps are
prohibited and acetylene lamps, which give
no smoke, are used exclusively. The finest
feature of the cavern is symmetrical
dome. 1877 feet high, which. l am told,
is the heighest in the world, natural or
artificial; and the walls and ceilings are of
the most beautiful texture of alabaster.
The engineers are now arranging to intro
duce lights to show its beauties in the most
striking manner, and it would be well for
them to study the methods used in the
great artificial caves in the salt mines near
Cracow, Poland, which are illuminated with
artistic and startling effects in an ingenious
manner.
The railway company proposes to build
a $500, 900 hotel, construct trolley line
from Glasgow Junction and set up an cleo
trio power plant that will light the hotel
and the cave throughout and run the cars.
Colossal Cavern is about a mile and a
half from Mammoth Cave, from which
wagons are now running to it regularly.

with buttons and the cuffs fastened in the
same manner. Toward the bottom of the

line. These openings. were concealed with
fat-stitched flaps aud lowered genuine

There was a jauntiness about this coat
that is lacking in its longef5variety. though
this characteristic does not commend it to
every woman.
A black costume in which the three-quar-

sorts of delicate fabrics are used for trim
mings, that 1t is possible to secure great
er variety than has ever been seen in trim
tailor garments The combination of rather
heavy cloth and severe trimmings of MORE
and taffeta promises to be an exceedingly
popular one.
The bolero will be worn by those women
who have a preference for it's abbreviated

The gown in today's illustration comes
under the head of the new three-quarter

for wear during the early spring, and was
therefore, fashioned of velvet. The shade

MEAT PACKERS AT WAR.
So-Called Independents Arrayed
Against "Big Five"

With Schwarzschld & SulZberger of Chi
ago, the largest so-called Independent pack
ing establishment in the lead, it is said the
independents have gathered a fund of So
000090 which will be used to expose the al
legged beef trust and to- set themselves right
before the public.
When the special federal grand jury con-
venes at Chicago March ~ there VIII begin
between the Big FivS' on the one side and
twenty-siX lesser corporations and firms on
the other a war to the knife. Several indie
pendents have volunteered 10 give informa-
ton to the grand jury They have already
conferred with the Secret service depart
ment in Washington, and the 200 wit
nesses subpoenaed it is expected their testi-
mony will be of first Importance.
Schwarzschild & Sulzberger as a corpora
ton and as individuals, are named in the in
junction issued by Judge Grosscup, but
there are rumors that the concern has
broken away from the big Five and that
il has engaged in a c8fnpetiton inimical to
the interests of the crust" 1t is said the
firm was offered S220G3, 0a3 for its interests
by the Big Five that the offer was re-
fused, that the trust was angered and
that it may send some of its own represent
tatives before the grand Jury TO give infor-
nation which would convict the SchwarZs-
child & Sulzherger company of violating the
injunction. AT any rate, there is circum-
stantial evidence of a coming storm which
may be a good thing for the government
prosecution and, perhaps, for the consumer.

In choosing length for her spring street
coat woman can scarcely make any mis-
take this season, for the whole gamut of
styles will he run. The winter brought out
many extra long coats that were considered
very smart with walking skirts, and this
same fashion is to continue through the
wrap-wearing season. Seven-eighths coats
they are called, and they are as chic and
becoming as anything the tall woman has
favored in many a day.
Next to these comes the three-quarter
coat, with a graceful fullness in its skirt
and either a sem-fitting or curved-in back.
These are also made without a cross seam
at the waist line and with the skirt cut
separately and set on. The latter mode
is generally supposed to give a better out
line to the figure, but it is really only a
matter of taste.
The third edition of the once mannish
garment appears in a hip length. 1t ends
just at the curve of the hips and is youth
full and smart for the woman whose lines
are young enough to stand the break just
here. a charming little model on this order

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN

Looks like a forty-niner," said an old
fellow from the coast
AN she is IA forty-niner,' said another.
And a forty-niner she certainly is. The
girl of 1908 who steps across the threshold
of the new year, all blushingly, brings to
the mind, not the days of 1890 nor the days
of 1860. She is not an empire girl, not a
girl of the Victorian era, not a girl of the
1880 days but a ''forty-niner," true and
unmistakable.
The girl of 1905 will wear round skirts,
all ruffied and made to stand out. She viii
carry a reticule. And her ornament will
be a little fan. Upon her hands there will
be long black gloves, and she will wear a
poke bonnet and the sweet smile which goes
with every poke.
The girl of 1905 does not look at all like
the girl of a year ago. Never was there
so radical a change wrought in an indi-
Vidual in one year She has stepped out
of her clinging skirts into full ones, and
she has thrown aside her picture hat for
another one still more picturesque. Her
clothes are all picture clothes, and she will
be fashionable like doll and destined to do
nothing more useful than to look pretty
In 1919 yellow was the color. And the
new girl OF 1903 will wear yellow a great
deal. gold and ivory and yellow colored
lace. She will wear long gold chains, and
her desk will be decorated with nuggets for
ornaments. She will be just the highly
decorated. useless. feminine piece of hui
mainly which she was iifty-Ve years ago
Short and sweet, pretty and neat" went
the refrain of the little song which was the
popular song of the day in 40. And it is
descriptive of the appearance of the new
girl who stands at the door of the new
year waiting to be admitted.
Take a look at her, the girl of 1905, and
see is she is not the most beautiful creature
you have ever seen. And, ungallant as it
may be to do so, admit--for you must-that
she is far prettier than her predecessor,
Miss l9o4.-St Louis Globe-Democrat.

evening he found his wife crouching over

with all her might The house was as hot
as oven.

THE matter is she replied. with chatter
ing teeth, that l can't keep warm I've

Il should say you had. What do you
