A Hidden River.
About three miles from this lively
little Kentucky town is a full-fledged
river only 200 yards long, and yet
crowded with mystery and romance
almost every foot of its entire length.
It is known as the Hidden River,
probably because it issues from no
one knows where, and vanishes into a
cave, leading no one knows where,
and the river's bottom at several
points is equally a matter of mysteri
ous uncertainty.
The presence of such a freak of na
ture is explained by the fact that this
entire region is a limestone country,
abounding in caves, the most famous
of which is the Mammoth Cave, about
30 miles distant from this place. The
limestone is found in layers, or strata,
frequently resting on other layers of
clay and sand. Water penetrates the
limestone easily and washes away and
disintegrates the clay and sand, leav
ing a cavern with the roof formed of
the layer of limestone rock. It is im
possible to say how many such caverns
exist, but this whole country seems
to be more or less undermined, as is
seen by the deep holes or depressions
scattered here and there among the
fields, caused by the caving in of some
subterranean chamber.
From external evidences it would
seem as if the Hidden River owed its
birth to some such cavern of exten
sive underground passages. It ?>>ws
through a ravine 85 feet deep ; that
is, a great fissure cut in a gently
sloping hill, near its summit. The
water appears first in deep pools, as if
it bubbled up from its former channel
and lay imprisoned there by the mass
of rock and earth that had fallen upon
it. Then the liberated river gushes
into daylight through a funnel-shaped
hole, that has been sounded repeated
ly without finding bottom, and flows
away through the woods and under
growth until it again disappears. The
sides of the ravine are steep and rocky
and covered with woodland, and its
presence would be unsuspected by the
unwary until the verge of the slope
was reached.
Indeed, the river is a series of mys
teries. The water is uniformly of a
temperature of 58 degrees, both winter
and summer. It flows without a rip
ple, is a pale bluish-green in color and
clouded so that the bottom cannot be
seen.
It seemed like a pretty, harmless
brook to a regiment of Union soldiers
passing that way one day during the
war, aud a party ef the men stopped
to have a swim. The spot they chose
was about half-way down the river's
course and the fellows were frollicking
and splashing about in the cool shade,
utterly ignorant of the dangers that
threatened them, when suddenly there
was a wild cry, a helpless waving of
arms, and one of the men sank from
sight. A companion dived to his aid
and never came to the surface again ;
a third met a similar death before the
rest realized that there existed a whirl
pool beneath the placid surface of the
brook, which was suckiug them down
to certain death. Horror-stricken,
those that remained fled from the
place, and the existence <>f the danger
might have remained unknown had
not a farmer of the neighborhood,
who saw the men drown, noted the
location of the hole, and afterward re
turned to make soundings and learn
its depth. But neither he nor numer
ous others have ever found bottom
and the bodies of the soldiers never
came to the surface. It is supposed
that they were sucked down into some
unknown cavern, where their bones
lie surrounded by unexplored myste
ries.
After passing this danger spot the
Hidden River flows another hundred
yards, and finally disappears into a
cavern, leaving its future course as
much a matter of doubt as is its
source. The entrance to this cave is
most picturesque, the work of nature
and man making a combination worthy
of a painter's brush. An arch, 100
feet wide and 30 feet high, spans the
stream, the curving lines from base to
keystone being almost as regular as if
chiseled by man. Above this arch
rises a perpendicular wall of gray
rock, 60 feet high, and upon its apex,
and directly over the cavern, is a
quaint wooden mill, with weather
beaten wooden walls, pierced with
dingy windows and topped by shingled
gables, standing so close to the cliff
that the spectator almost expects to
see it topple over into the ravine.
"The Cave Mill," as it is called,
was built about 30 years ago, and all
its powers is obtained from the Hid
den River, 100 feet below. At the
point where the stream enters the
cavern a rough dam of stone is built,
affording sufficient water power to
turn a turbine wheel. This connects
with a shaft fully 100 feet long, which
penetrates the rock until it reaches
the mill. At certain times, however,
the river rises suddenly as much as 30
feet above its usual level, through rea
sons that have never been explained.
At such times the turbine wheel can
not be used, and the mill is run by
steam, water being pumped from the
river by pipes running into the cavern.
After the river enters the cave it
trickles over a bed of loose stone for
50 feet or more, and then occurs an
other hole, whose bottom has never
been found. The roof of the cavern
gradually becomes lower and lower
until the explorer has to creep on
hands and knees to pass the overhang
ing rocks.. A short distance further
on, however, the roof rises again, and
by successive walking, creeping and
squeezing the buried course of the
river can be traced for about half a
mile from the cave's entrance. Then
the stream rushes away in the dark
ness.
That the river is not entirely lost
after this was lately proved in an un
expected manner. Part of the cave
mill was formerly used as a brandy
still, and the refuse was thrown down
the ravine into the Hidden River.
This same refuse was found a few days
later in the water in another cave
about a mile away, and again emerged
above ground in a stream three miles
away, showing that all had some sub
terranean connection.
The first point mentioned is called
"Dead Man's Cave," and has a story.
About 30 years ago aman was sentenc
ed to be hung for murder in the
County Jail at this place. No one
doubted his guilt, but the culprit
looked forward to the execution with
fear and trembling and tried to bribe
the jailer to get him some whiskey to
drown his trouble. A local physician
heard of it, and after a conference
with several other doctors made a bar
gain with the sentenced man, by
which the latter sold his body to the
doctors after life was extinot in ex
change fo:: a quart of the best Ken
tucky whiskey. The terms were
agreed to, the whiskey was smuggled
in to the prisoner and he died drunk,
and therefore supposably happy. Af
ter dis death the doctors claimed the
body and prepared to dissect it for the
benefit of science, but their plans
raised such a storm of indignation
that they were forced to conceal their
work, and to do so carried the cadaver
to "Dead Man's Cave, where they dis
sected it in secret.
A visit to this cavern is quite an
experience. It is read ed through a
great "sink-hole," or depression, in
the surrounding level fields. In the
side of a rocky embankment, a hole
large enough to admit a man lying flat
provides an entrance. After crawling
through the door, the clay floor is
seen to slope downward at an angle of
!lj degrees, while the limestone roof
extends forward on a level. The
descent is dangerous to the unwary,
as the clay is wet and slippery, and
the least misstep outside of a rough
hewn pair of stairs will send one down
to certain death far below.
After climbing down this steep de
scent for 100 feet or more, a small
platform is reached where the visitor
might easily imagine he looked upon
a scene from Inferno. All about is
darkness, pierced here and there with
the dense shadows of some protecting
rock or bank of clay. Before him is
a chasm sinking sheer into mysterious
depths. The air is warm, even though
it is winter outside ; bats fly about in
the night and far above a single ray of
sunshine, penetrating the crcvice-likc
entrace, casts a yellow shaft of glory
across the gloom.
The bottom of the cave is 40 feet
below this platform, and is reached by
a narrow and dangerous stairway.
Here the visitors see the brisk little
stream falling over the rocks in quiet
cascades and forming into deep, still
pools ; and it was here, beside the
water, that the local sawbonc3 did
their ghastly work 30 years ago. Out
of this cavern the hidden river flows
on to look upon what other mysteries
no one can tell.?Philadelphia Times.
Four Unhappy Women.
Mary, Queen of Scots, was a most
unhappy woman, wasn't she?" in
quired a thin man of a friend on a
Woodward avenue car the other day.
"Indeed she was," replied the other
earnestly.
"Queen Elizabeth waialsoa wretch
ed creature, wasn't she ?"
"Very wretched, I should say. if
history is to be believed."
"Then there was Catharine?"
"What are you driving at, any
way ?"
"I was just about to remark," con
tinued the thin man, "that the name
of the unhappiest woman in this world
does not appear in history. Now I've
a sister-in-law named Martha Tabbs,
and just at present she is the most
wretched woman on the face of the
earth."
"What is the matter with her?
chills ?"
"No-"
"Lumbago ?" broke in the other.
"No ; but you see, last week her
husband bought her a $20 bonnet?"
"And I suppose the $20 bonnet
made her more unhappy thau Mary,
Quenn of Scots was, when she discov
ered that her neighbor had one that
cost $30.
"That was not it at all. She was
happy as a bobolink in a June meadow
until she tripped and fell going up the
front steps and fractured her skull.
She is now lyiDg in bed unable to
wear the hat, and by the time she can
wear it, it will probably be out of
fashion. I tell you it is sad to watch
her looking tearfully at that bonnet,
which she has had adjusted to a bed
post. Talk about the unhappy women
of history. Why, she is more unhap
py than any 10 of them put together."
He had Done His Share.
The only people who are positive
they are fitted to bring up children in
the way they should go are very old
gentlemen and maiden ladies.
An amusing little scene, in which
the "helpful old gentleman" figured,
occurred the other day at the Grand
Central station. Quite a family party
were assembled, of the class that be
lieves in making the most of a free
country, to await the arrival of an un
expected guest. Children were there
galore, playing tag all around the old
gentleman's feet, falling periodically
over his canvas bag, squealing wildly
as they ran into passengers, and re
treating in heaps as a "cop" approach
ed.
The "helpful old man" stood it as
long as he could conscientiously, then,
looking over his spectacles, said
severely : Stop that racket?you
children !"
"Well, I like that !" answered one
of the mothers, in a loud, angry tone.
But, if she did, the old gentleman
didn't, and faced the woman as he
continued :
"Now, look here, madam, I've rais
ed three families of children, and not
a single child was ever allowed to
annoy my neighbors."
"Well," replied the irrate lady, "if
you've raised three families you've
done your duty, and I'll thank you to
allow me to raise mine."

of England commanded that three
barleycorns, dry and placed end to

? In Westphalia twelve bees were
released at a distance of three miles
from their hives at the same time as
twelve carrier pigeons, to test which

? Joseph Murdock, of Scott Coun
ty, Virginia, who was supposed to
have been murdered twenty-five years
ago, and for which crime "Bud"
Lindsay served twenty-one years in
the Virginia penitentiary, has return
ed to his former home. Lindsay died
recently.
? Here is the kind of an obituary
that a Georgia editor put up for a poor
man: "Poor Jim slung his earthly
garments on a limb and swam the
river yesterday. He did not stand
back because the water was cold, but
plunged aight in. He arose smiling
and struck right out for the other
shore where the angels were waiting
for him with a finer suit than he had
ever worn in this life. Jim was a
poor man, but he had his subscription
to his home paper all paid up, and he
got there in good shape."
? The biggest item of incidental
loss in ocean traffic during the stormy
seasons of the year is that of break
ages in the wine stores. No matter
how securely the bottles are fixed in
the bins, a particularly heavy sea
striking the ship in a certain spot or
continued rolling and pitching will
cause great losses in costly fluids that
were never intended to wash the floor
or the walls. A French firm is going
to do away with this present source of
annoyance and complaint. Afteryears
of experimenting it has succeeded in
manufacturing a paper bottle which
will not break, and which has all the
advantages of the ordinary glass bottle.
In the home, too, such bottles would
be highly appreciated.? Pearson's

A ??oted Atlanta Case.
For four years I have been afflicted with
a very troublesome nasal catarrh. So
terrible has its nature been that when I
blew my nose small pieces of bone would
frequently come out of my mouth and
nose. The discharge was copious, and at
times very offensive. My blood became
so impure that my general health was
greatly impaired, with poor appetite and
worso digestion. Numerous medicines
wore used without relief, until I began
tho use of Botanic Blood Balm?B. B. B.

(?overnor Ellerbo and the Stato Board
ofCoutrol.it was announced yesterday,
havo instructed tho Attorney fioneral to
prosecuto Ex-Commissioner Gaston and
Chiof Clerk Scruggs, of the dispensary
system, on a charge of "official miscon
duct," based on the affidavits printed on
Thursday, showing tbat tbey had appro
priated certain articles in their custody as
dispensary officials.
The charge appears to ba the proporone
in all the circumstances. While tho two
officials deserve punishment, if convict
ed, there is no desire anywhere, we be
lieve, tbat tlioy shall bo punished with
undue severity. They have been pun
ished with unduo severity already, in
fact, by the public oxposuro of their mis
conduct.
The important object is tbat investiga
tion and punishment of official "miscon
duct" in the aflairs of the dispensary
should not stop with this comparatively
trifling case. There is large ground for
tbe belief that something more than more
"misconduct" bas been rifo in tho estab
lishment, and the public will not bosatis
fied with tho prosocution of two minor of
fenders ss scapegoats for tho others.
Some unpleasant rumors regarding the
conduct Dfthe dispensary business have
long been current. An investigation was
held lasi year, with no result, and the
general impression was that it was not
directed with a view to obtaining results.
Interest in these rumors is revived now
by the published statements of Mr. T. L.
Gantt, during the past few days, that be
and other persons, whom he has named,
knew of very Ferions irregularities and
offences which havo not been made pub
lic. Some of his pointed insinuations are
far more serious in character. In au in
terview published in the Spartanburg
Herald, he says: "They have drawn his
name into this dispensary scandal, and he
now wants the calcium light turned on
the entire party from Bon Tillman down.
My hands are clean," he adds. "I have
no rebates, but I would like to know how
it is that the present dispensary manage
ment, with all scandals, has gotten tbe
State $41,000 in rebates, while the dispen

of their raising such sheep down there to

to the man who is raising sheep on high

Mr. E. D. Jenkins, of Lithonia, Ga.,
says that his daughter, Ida, inherited a
severe case of Eczema, which the usual
mercury and potash remedies failed to
relieve. Year by year she was treated
with various medicines, external appli
cations and internal remedies, without
result. Her sufferings were intense,
and her condition grew steadily worse.
All the so-called blood remedies did not
seem to reach the dis
ease at all until S.
S.S. was given, when
an improvement
was at once noticed.
The medicine was
continuecd with fav
orable results, and
now she is cured
I sound and well, her
skin is perfectly
clear and pure ana
she has been saved
from what threat
ened to blight her life forever.
S.S.S. {guaranteed purely vegetable)
cures Eczema, Scrofula, Cancer, Rheu
matism, or any other blood trouble.
It is a real blood remedy and always
cures even after all else fails.
A Real Blood Remedy*
sss
Take a blood remedy for a blood disease;
a tonic won't cure it.

? A wooden bread plate will be
remembered longer tban a souvenir
teaspoon.
? The most important featuroof Bishop
Kelson's annual address to the Episcopal
Diocesan Convention of Georgia at Macon
on Monday was the position taken by him
on the question of marriage after divorce.
He said that he took the ground that di
vorced people should not be married again
in the Episcopal Churoh ; that the clergy
bad a right to refuse to perform the
ceremony, and tnat ho would not sanction
any such marriage in his diocese.
? At Kew, at the meteorological ob
servatory, a watch i 9 tested in every posi
tion, and its rate measured and recorded
by the hour. It is hung upside down,
hung from each side, placed dial down
and back down, and at any number of
angles, and to finish it is baked in an
oven and frozen in a pail of ice. When it
is considered that 18,000 vibrations an
hour occur in a watch, and it must not
vary a second a wdek, it is easy to see
why no watch has ever been perfect.
? Some dentists speak of the rooms in
which they receive their patients as "par
lors." But they ought to call them
"drawing-rooms."
? Prof. Falb, of Vienna, predicts that
on November 13,1899. the earth will col
lide with a comet. The earth will not
suffer, but all living beings will be suffo
cated by poisonous gases.

HILL-ORR DRUG CO.
Gentllmen :
I am much pleased with the "Mas
tic Ready Mixed Paint." I have had
my house?"Rose Hill"?painted sev
eral times, and have used many dif
ferent brands of Ready Mixed Paint,
and have had it painted with Lead
and Oil. In my judgment the MAS
TIC gives better results, and 13 more
satisfactory in every way than any of
them. It has a gloss and finish about
it rarely found in Paints, and when I
have more painting to do I ehall cer
tainly use it. It is a mistaken notion
that Ready Mixed Paints cost more,
and if the people will use a high
grade, like the MASTIC, the preju
dice existing against them will die
out. You are at liberty to use this as
you like.
Respectfully yours,
B. F. WHITNER.
We have handled this Paint for
years, and have sold several thousand
gallons of it under an absolute guar
antee in each case of purity, quality
and satisfaction.
We have sold it with the under
standing that we would appreciate
notice if it wasn't right. With a sin
gle exception we have never had a
complaint. Thin ought to count for
something.
Remember, it costs as much in time
and money to put on cheap Paint as
to it on good Paint. Get the best.
LEAD and OIL if you prefer it.
We lave it in large quantitiep.
