troops in the field and the me on the ships but to the citizens who have remained at home watch ing your course daily Who will say the tribute is not Well deserved TilE Third Kentucky Volunteers are petitioning for a muster out I so the dispatces say That is the proper thing now that the war is over Our boys were anxious as anybody elses boys to get to the front and see fighting But the war was too quickly over for thou ambition to be thus satisfied and there is not much glory in filling a permanent military camp If there is no more fighting and a portion of the volunteer army is to be mus tered out our boys will doubtless be returned to peaceful pursuits a it is said they desire IF it becomes necessary to move American troops to Havana before the sickly season is ended the President has been assured byI Gen Lee that he is confident he can camp his men on the highI hills around Havana with very slight risk from yellow fever or climatic dangers even if they go nowGen Lees advice is good on most subjects and he is a specialist as to affairs in and around Ha vana but it is to be hoped the nc cessity may not arise to send troops there until after October ist Tits Chicago Record says Great Britain Russia and Japan have entered the markets of the United States for the purpose of purchasing provisions suchas canned and salted meats for use in their army and navy For several weeks a rumor has been in circula tion among the great packing houses at the stock yards to this effect and now it is confirmed What such an order as will probably be placed by eachcountry will be can qnly be estimated from the amount ordered by our govern ment during the early part oi the war between the United States and Spain But it is sale to say that each foreign power now figur ing for the purchase of provisions wl place art order for at least 5000000 pounds V An OffHand Opinion expresseeS question so tersely and to the point that it deserves to be re peated It says We are In receipt of a paper having considerable circulation among farmers presentdtaxes many instances a great burden upon the farming class and that wheelmen who agitate for road improvement do so solely for the benefit of the bicycle that ahorse doesnt require a hard smooth road that the farmer can belter afford lo co twice after a load than to pay the ten or twelve dollars that wide tires would cost etc He closes a

that tb United States shall occupy and hold the city bay and harbor of Manila the determination of the control disposi lion and government of the Phillipines We must preserve and hold forever that which Dewey and his bravo men so gallantly won The commission to be appointed by the Iresldent will after proper investigation report as to what part of lb Phillipine Islands the United Slates shall

agriculture industries and manufactures change the situation While it was proper expanIe sioa or many years r ritory was contiguous conditions have changed The days of our isolation are over To

the experiences of the Overland Cave Party was writ ten for THE BEE by the of the party They were eleven days away from home were five days going and over tour days re j turning andat the cave almost two daysmost of them gain through Mammoth Cave by hath long and short routes The mem hers of the party as before recorded in TUB BEE were Dr and Mrs E A Chasten Mr and Mrs C HI McGary Misses Agnes Burr Sue Burr Annie Moore Mr How tincstage driver and teamster 11The account of the historian is as follows The Overland Cave Party left Earlington on the 7th day of August 1898 with a firm dctcrmina tion to sec the wonders of thee famous Mammoth Cave of Ken tricky We traveled across coun gypsyibeholding the beautiful scenery of Kentucky wilds coming upon quaint little towns nestled in among the hills passing innumerable log cabins and crossing the Greene river several times we at last o the afternoon of the fifth day out turned into a steep rocky road which we were told led to the Mammoth Cave There was a halt halEwaynvher c our Party left the wagons to con template Cedar Sink a noted place in Edmonson county f can not describe the fearful distance to the ground from the lull where tiv stood any better than by quoting the words of a farmer Notice Cedar Sink he said thar was a man who threw a hatchet down i thar onct and the handle route before it reached the bottom of the Sink Of course that was ex aggeration but one could not help feeling impressed by the grandeur of the mighty cliffs on all sides this wonderful Sink named forth many cedar trees which stand guar around it Continuing our journe- to quote from one of the natives you go up and up and thin youll never git thar and all to one youre thar Stretched out us we saw a veritable little oasi of civilization the grass resin an green the white buildings and fences making a charming picture to the eye There were beautifully dressed ladies moving about and strains of music floated to us fro the hotel where we were cordially welcomed by the manager who kindly gave us fine camping grounds After a night of good rest ou Party descended the steps at tll right of the entrance and passed through an iron gateway into hi darkness of Mammoth Cave Ou guide stopped to relight several lanterns and a cold blast of of rushed out making us draw closer to each other shivering for the temperature of the Cave is only 50degreesTo our route exactly would take too much space so I interestingstures 4 KneeHigh ValleyliThe Valleys of Humility Great Relief and Tall Mans Misery which was no misery at all to one of our ladies all created much laughter for our Party About halfway through the Cave we took the boat on the River Styx and later on Echo River Never as long as we live curie ouslooking boats The echo pro duced by a call from the guide made a perfect chord Then after that had died away and utter si lence reigned once more a song was started and the melodies tha magI2 Comingbacknight another guide joined us It was he who made Echo river speak for itself He did this by bringing his oar down with a splash on the water and the echo was tremendous Reverberation after reverberation rolledaway i and finally as we neared our land speakI ever Passing Nebraska Bend and having inspected many monuments- we decided we would not leave the Cave until we had left one for St Bernard Coal Company No busier crew ever set to work and quickertimestood by with a quiet smile as he watched our work grow beneath our hands a stone receive its in scription a card the names of our partyFinally all was finished andI after dedicating with three rousing cheers that made the echoes ring again we moved on to partake of manyinjunctionsway to show our monument Later the Overland Cave Party was shown into Bacon Chamber It was well for the guide that the bacon was of stone or he might havelost many of his curious formations for I believe the Cave Party needed more salt meat that day Entering the Vale of monds we were dazzled byDiaI ormation on the walls and ceiling which resembled millions of dia monds brilliantly flashing Floral Chamber was lovely with flowers Exact representa tions of lilies sunflowers roses etcOur Party named one room Coral Chamberr1IBeautiful formations like white coral hung ceilingScotchmans Trap was a rock overhanging gaveitSliding down cellardoor he triumphantly said as herose

a short rest we pro reeled pn par return journey I cannot describe Corkscrew I yourselfSuch II squeezing pushing pulling and twisting which brings you through at last into Bandits Hall a dark and gruesome place The ladies looked with startled eyes half ex pecting to see some heavily bearded stranger come forth from under the shelving rocks and growl Your money or your life It was quite a relief to move on to Broadway andwalk again through the solemn massive arches to find ourselves be neath the vast Rotunda knowing we had arila little Cart they to walk before we reached the iron gate once more Passing out of the Cave we sat down on the rocks at the entrance and holding our arms up we felt the warm air and breathlessly wondered how we could have breathed before we went into the Cave After we had recovered sufficient breath we climbed thee steep hill with many gasps at last reaching the summit where we were graciously received by the manager and the people at the anxiouslyltaking of a warm supper we all retired to dream of our mile walk eyeless fish blind cric ets fly and snake chambers theea o stayedYcamplanguagekcamp were hardesay is muchdtry to condense the

and returnras our eyes darkI ness was as were thercometrwas very o the place awed us into silence and while the spell was still upon us we heard the distant crowing of a rooster the low of the cattle the singing of birds and the bark of a dog Turning we looked fearfully in the direction of the noises and saw a faint glow as of approaching day It was all so dlsapIby the guide and to know it was only illusion and that he was male ingthe noises we had heardthat his lantern was what we imagined to be the first rays of the sun Standing on the Bridge of Sighs we gazed down in the Bottomless Pit and leaving that we went into Olives Bower which was composed of great and small stalagmites and stalactites The guide threw a Bengal light pertfeet in splendor The Arm- Chair II Picture Frame II Elc phants Head Lovers Retreat and the Bridal Altar where the guide informed us eleven couples had been married were all formed of these wonderful stalagmites and stalactites The images on the walls and ceiling thrown into re lief by the black background the white gypsum and the Water Clock were all marvelously inter estingOnce we came suddenly into an open space and stared in amaze ment at the tiers upon tiers of rock which ran around the upper part of the Cave in halfcrescent shape meeting at an immense rock which the guide told us was the stage We caught ourselves half expecting to see a curtain fall in front of this stage and then hear t the cheers from the spectators in tnose darklooking empty tiers of scats The whole place looked like an enormous theater The Famous actor Edwin Booth had rendered a dramatic character before quite a number of people hence the name Booths Amphi theaterJust before we left the Cavel we were shown one of the most per feet illusions we had ever seen An exact profile of Martha Washington made by the reflection of a Bengal light on the wall of the Cave A pure white statue it looked to us as we viewed it from a distancepAt 130 pm we the sunlight once more and after ex ploring the mouth of Echo River a few little souvenirs at the entrance of the Cave we climbed the hill reaching the hotel very hot and hungry I It did not tale St our Party long to collect for dinner we were always ready to cat es pecially if it happened to be watermelons The homeward route was by pike roads and we easily made thirty miles a day The counties around the Cave besides being rocky cant boast of much water At Glasgow Junction the town pump supplied us with water i a way we will not forget for sometime to come Our second night out we sur prisedourselves by getting such an early startbutsulphur watt r Is by no means good At Russellville and Elkton we stopped for quite awhile and were showpeopleAt a vcr pleasant reception A dear al lady showed us around The houses were all built in the same style with the date on a marbl- slab One of the houses wa built in 1810 Such a quaint little white house The spring to on of our Party was the most fasci nating place Our driver disappeared just be yond Shakcrtown We feared he had gone back to join the Shakers but at Auburn he turned up It seems he couldnt get away from the enoughWe in which to thank the people of Hopkins ville who gave us such a good time campThecampfire will be a picture yearsThentreats the next day We left Hopkinsville at 1030 a m I am sure the natives must have been startled by the yells we gave as we crossed L S N railroad near Mortons Gap We cheered lustily as we passed through that town and through Barnesly Soon afterward we were hailed by our good friend the Secretary of St Bernard who drove to meet us and tell us where there were good camping grounds Then the electric lights at Earlington cam into view and we knew our Kapp- camping trip was at an end We had seen the Mammoth Cave with all Us marvelous sights and were full of delight that we had comeback better and stronger than ever predictedJ come home on the trainS R B MINESkThe Hecla Coal Co made

MINERS DAY This Is the Day of Coal tUners at Hopkins County Fair This is Miners Day at the Hopkins County Fair Yesterday Childrens Day was a great sue cess and large numbers of children and men over 70 years of age were present as guests of the liberal managers of the fair It is to be hoped that Miners Day will be made an event of kindred mag nitudo with the day of last years fair that was celebrated as such and scored a great success Whcth er this is done depends on the miner himself and on his employ ers Some of the coal companies of the county have entered into the spirit of the day and arc to an extent making a free distribution of tickets to their employes A handsome and appropriate badge has been designed and printed by TilE BEE for the occasion and thoroughly distributed to the vari ous mines so that the miners have ben given an opportunity to get them A special group of a lump of coal a pick and a cap with a miners lamp were put together and a photograph made of the group A cut was made from this photograph and it is this cut that was used to print the handsome badges that the miners wear today TilE BEE has always been the friend of the Hopkins County miner and has always taken especial interest in the things that interest him It has been a delight to design and make the badges which bear so distinctly the miners im press and so wcllreprescnt his avocation

that our lives may be n success for eternity as well ns time It teaches ns how to number our days that wo may apply our hearts to wisdom It alms not so much to glvo intellectual wis dom as heart

Kentucky Lexington Ky AUR 23 There is a petition circulating among the companies of the Third Kentucky regiment asking the Government to muster them out of the service As they cannot go to the front they do not care to be staying here drawing the small sum of 15 per month and sleeping on the cold damp ground The pctitition was started Sunday and already the companies have signed and about Coo names arc enrolled Some of the commanders of com panies have become very angry at some of the men and in one instance a Captain threatens to re sign unless the boys of his company erase their names from the petition I withhold this name on account of notwishing to embarrass the officer I think the petition will be all signed by Wed nesday and forwarded to the War Department General Qreelys 378
