A HALT AT A FVMOUS OLD INN. Interesting Reminiscences of the Conestoga Wagon Era. GLIMPSES OP SOME HISTORIC SPOTS rntOH OUS SPECIAL commissiohbh.3 The Pittsbceo Dispatch ) couxtby koad expedition. j bo MERSET. May 18. Everything in Bedford is historic, even , the country roads. If one road was not or iginally hern out by General Braddock's cxmy, it was by Forbes' army. If this road, or that one, does not lead to some ancient Indian rendezvous, it will at least bring yon to some one of the gigantic rock-cuts or tnnnels of the proposed South Penn Bail road, and as that enterprise has passed into history, its surroundings have become his torical. Our stopping place in the town of Bed ford was John H. Hafer's old stone hotel "the Bedford House which is still substan tial, comfortable and well managed after 119 years of existence. Some Noted Landmarks. Across the street from the hotel is Gen eral George "Washington's headquarters, an Illustration of which appeared in my last letter. Farther down the avenue is a part of the ancient stone structure built by Colonel Boqnet, who gored so prominent L A WHEEL in Pittsburg's history. It was known as "The King' Inn" for a long time. A. B. Carn, who keeps a cigar store in Hurt nf the Dnilding now, showed me the inside chimney. It is long enough and wide 'enough to hold a donble bed within. This Structure is about 120 years old. But of ill the historical landmarks I saw in Bedford that which interested me most was the celebrated Pittsburg and Philadel phia pike. In Pittsburg your old-timers call it the Greensburg pike. Here it is best known as the Pittsburg and Chambersburg turnpike. Well-KnoYrn Old Rond. I was anxious to see and ride upon it for the purpose of lorming comparisons with the other public roads wo have been travers ing. It is a stoned highway. In the first week of The Dispatch expedition the other great stoned pike in this State the National road was tested. Since then onr wagon has passed over hundreds of miles of dirt roads, and the experience has opened mveves to many thincs I knew nothing about at that time. In the light of this practical knowledge, acquired by driving on all sorts of roads, a second and longer ride over a macadamized or semi tnacadamized highway could not help but be more valuable in my experimental study of road building. In addition to that, there was something grand to me in the thought that I would find something that survives the wrecks of time. A Work That Endures. When the Pennsylvania canal commenced traffic it was found that one canal boat engineered by one man and his little sou and pulled by one horse would carry as much freight as 30 Conesto ga wagons drawn by 130 horses and driven by 30 men. The glory of the turnpike waned. The tow-path became the shin ing track of commerce. Yet, to-day there is left in all Pennsylvania scarcely a single mile of that canal, it cost 14,000,000, but its decay was as complete as if it had never existed. Even its iron-railed portage -OVer the Allegheny Mountains is entirely ' wrecked, as I showed in a previous article. The ancient turnpike, though, still stands, a monument to pioneer enterprise. Nothing has closed it up, and its course across the State was so practicable, so straight, that later engineering genius could do nothing better than parallel it on the north with the Pennsylvania Bailroad and on the south by the proposed Sontb Penn Bailroad. Besides all that, a drive on the Pittsburg end Philadelphia pike, better than anything else, will make the heart of a Pennsylvan ian well up with pride for Pittsburg push and grit. Frelcht Transportation 100 Tear Aso. In 1790 there were only six freight wagons iauling goods to Pittsburg from over the mountains. With the exception of these Bix, Philadelphia wagons only ventured as far west in the State as Chambersburg, and the goods were sent ou pack-mules over the Alleghenies. Think of that! Only tix freight wagons en ronte in 1790! Ex actly 100 years later The Dispatch's wagon wheels tonches the same stones in these mountains which those six Jersey wagons rattled over; follows precisely the same route and road through which the six wagons opened a way with mnsket and ax; aye, and has put up in at least two taverns where the same wag oners slept in that year of 1790, and to what do we find the freight of six wagons grown to in 1890? Why, the Pennsylvania Bail road alone moves more freight than the whole foreign commerce of the United States amounts to. More than 200.000 loaded jreght cars enter and over 100,000 depart every day from Pittsburg, while about 170 passenger trains enter and leave that city. Alone the Jnalnini Enthusiastic with these thoughts, I have felt like nailing the American flag to one ride of every swinging sign we see at the old stage taverns and tacking the address ot the Bandall Club to the top of the mast. Seriously, how ever, there was a good, substantial reason in wanting to reach some solid roadway like the Pittsburg and Philadelphia turnpike. Mud roads had cost me a hat. Frequent references have been made in these letters to a stiff hat, sunken in the crown from oft-re-enrrincr contacts with the roof of the wagon. One contact was too much. It wai the last conttet, sad the hat was abandoned for good. It was photographed before we parted company with it We first encountered the pike as we drove into Bedford. Together, the pike, the rail road and the "blue Juniata," passed through amorce in the mountain. It seemed to us poor, haken-up, rattled an a J travel stained ramblers like a royal pass to easy rid inc. But the dream was only partially realized, as I shall show. The process of turnpiking this thoroughfare with stone was beruo nearly 75 years ago. and kept up con tinuously until probably 20 years ago. The Crcit of the Allecbenle. From Chambersburg to Bedford is CG miles, and from Bedford to Pittsburg 01 miles. Between Bedford and Stoyestown the pike scales the Allegheny Mountain proper in a distance of 30 miles. "We con cluded to make a detonr in order to take in Somerset, and for that purpose left the main pike four miles out of Bedford, and traveled southwestwardly on the Somerset pike, The Last of Thai Bal. which is also a stoned road, and which in its day had been important sb the connection between the Pittsburg pise and the old National road in the South. We would again take the Pittsburg pike at Stoyestown by a short-cut north. A night was passed at William Hillegass old farmhouse, justat the foot of Allegheny Mountain. In the morning he furnished us a postilion horse to help pull The Dis patch wagon to the top of the mountain. Bight on the summit is the old "White Horse Inn." It is a stonehonse long years ago vacated. It is now falling to pieces, arid its decay excites pity in the heart of every visitor, for stories are told you on all hands ot its renowned hospitality back as far as a century. It is a veritable castle in its loca tion. A Lofty location. Capping the very apex of this, one of the COMES OFF. highest peaks in the Appalachian chain, its windows command a view of the moun tains in several counties of Pennsvlvania and the heights of Maryland. It has even given its name to White Horse Spur of th Alleghenies. It was a Jodging place for stage coach travelers once, and owing to its exposed location there was a great open fire place in nearly every room. Winters and summers, both are very cold at that alti tude. White Horse having been a favorite tavern for the stages, Hillegass' house', where we had lodged, was a great Conestoga wagon honse, and also a stopping place for live stock herders. The present proprietor tells me that on some nights in the olden time ns many as 700 headof sheep, 400 hoes and 200 cattle were fenced there in his father's fields, or that the yard was filled with a dozen or more road wagons. Beaver and Bucephalus did indeed look lonely, housed in a stable where stood 40 empty stalls. "That stable has been full many a time," said Mr. Hillecass, "but not for many years." Candidates Terr Numerous. Just to the left of White Horse tavern there branches off a road that leads across the mountaius to Connellsville, Fayette county. To this day, although not traveled much, it is known as "the mud pike." It is not stoned and it was a favorite route for live stock drivers many years ago because the cattle, sheep and hogs could travel 100 miles on it without getting sore feet, as they would on macadamized pikes. When the wagon left Bedford, George Harry bade me goodby. He was the only man I saw in that 38" miles' ride between Bedford and Somerset who was not a politi cal candidate. Every man we met seemed to be a candidate for some office or another. All were out interviewing the farmers. Woods were lull of them. Even the soli tudes of the mountains echoed with their footsteps. The only human beings we saw were candidates. Bedford has some 65 can didates for a dozen offices I understand. Somerset must have 165. Driving Toward Pittsburg. It is not my intention to say anything in this letter about the condition of these old time turnpikes. I want to see their whole length from Bedford to Pittsburg before I summarize the result of mv ride over them. My last letter will explain in full what I find on these highways in Bedford, Somer set and Westmoreland counties as a whole. That will be more satisfactory than taking up through highways piecemeal. But this much may be stated without an ticipating. Our ride down the western side of Allegheny mountain was over such a rough rocky road that the burr of one of onr rear wheels was shaken loose. The acci dent escaped notice, and just as we were ap proaching the town of Somerset, the burr dropped off altogether, and the wheel com ing off too, down went the wagon. One member of the party jnmped in time from being thrown ont of the rear seat. No blacksmith shop being Convenient it re quired some time to repair the injury. At Somerset. In the town of Somerset the exploring Earty met with a hearty reception at the ands of some of the most prominent gen tlemen there. A night was spent in the pretty mountain town, and in the morn ing the journey was resumed. We are now bound for Greensburg, and will reach Pitts burg, via Wilkinsbnrg, early in the week. Do not think that because I have confined my letter to old turnpikes that the roads in Somerset and Bedford counties are good. In fact the dirt roadsin both counties have been just as bad this spring as elsewhere, yet there is plentvoUimestone in -the region. I. E. Stofiel. x Ber Aim Was Wretched. New Toek, May 17.

A Break Tbnt Mnv Lend to tbe Discovery of Railroad Robbers. For some time past the men employed at the milk receiving depot at the Pennsyl vania yards have been missing numerous small articles from their coats, when they hung them up in the cloakroom.

Did you ever hold a glass ot drinking water up to the lignt and notice bow completely filled It was with little particles of matter? It looked perfectly, clear and pure when you poured it out, but vet it was reeking with animal or vege table matter. Do you Imagine it can be healthy T Do you wonder why. In a little while, your mouth tastes bad. your appetite Is poor and you feel a general disgust with tbe world? But if water is so impure what shall we dor Boil It? No, tbat may kill the germs, but does not remove them. A far better way is to uso pure whiskey with it. The best physicians In America, unhesitatingly declare this now, but and bear this most carefully in mind it must be pure whiskey, for impure whiskey is worse than impure water. Doctors chemists, scientists and professors are now fully agreed that no whiskey used in America to-day is so chemically pure or free from fusel oil, as Duffy's .Pure Malt. It has suc cessfully withstood the enmity of all other whiskies, the prejudice of weak-minded and the bigotry of narrow-minded people. Why? Be cause it has produced results, restored health, prolonged life, awakened the lagging faculties and counteracted the evil effects of poisonous water. Indeed it is a pure, medicinal whiskey. Do not, however, allow any unscrupulous dealer to impose upon yon by declaring; be has some concoction of his own that is "just as good." or some bottled whiskey that is "much better." It is the very popularity of Duffy's Pure Malt that has caused tbese unworthy de coctions to come into the market. M THOMSON'S IMPROVED GLOVE-FITTING CORSETS Possess tbe highest degree of merit.

Almost dally our readers bave seen chron icled in the columns of this paper a detailed account of the death of someone they knew perhaps some lady who, in the prime of life, young, vivacious and happy, -was surrounded by friends and every luxury this life can afford. She may have once been a regular at tendant at church, a leading light in society, a friend to the poor; but in an uncantious mo ment she has taken cold, and how quickly this has fanned the flame of a catarrhal poi son that has lain dormant in ber system for years. The result only too plainly shows. Her case progressed rapidly, and terminated as all 'cases of catarrh do, unless properly treated, in consumption or somo other Incurable dis ease. According to the mortuary reports, hun dreds of just such neglected cases of catarrh have resulted in death in Pittsburg dnring tbe last year. Mr. Fred Habn, a resident of Sbarpsburg, and well known throughout Allegheny codnty and Western Pennsylvania, has for years been a victim of catarrh and dyspepsia. His stomach gave him an endless amount of trouble. He had belching of gas from his stomach after eating, sour taste, and often felt like vomiting his food. His appetite was poor, and as bis liver was much enlarged it gave him great pain. In fact, he would uf ten be taken with such sharp cramps and pain across his stomach and bowels it seemed as if be could not live. Ho bad palpitation of tbe heart, dizziness, weakness and pain across the small of bis back, and a numb, lifeless feeling in bis limbs. He could get but little sleep, and as every change of weather gave him a cold, he took on a lingering cough. His breath became short and he felt pain and soreness In his lnngs and under bis shoulder blades. Night sweats weakened him very fast, and he gradually grew worse until he lost 30 pounds of flesh. Afr. Fred Eahn, Having a wife and two small chil dren whom he dearly loved, depend ing on him for a living, and hav ing spent all his money in doctonng to no avail, not being able to work, he became discouraged and disheartened, and often became so melan choly that ho would feel tempted to Jump into tbe river and thus end bis suffer ing. One day he noticed in the paper an account of a patient who bad been cured by the catarrh specialists at 823 Penn avenue of conditions that seemed similar to bis own. He resolved to call on these special ists. He did so, and was told he could yet be cured. Although bo bad but little faith, he re solved to try once more, and after taking a course of treatment became cured. He says: "Tbe above history of mv disease and core is true in every respect.

PLAN LAID OUT BY GEO. S. MARTIN & CO. ISAgents on the grounds every Saturday afterpoon NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. SSBSiWM May THECL0THIN6WESELL IS COMPARABLE ONLY WITH THE BEST Our competition in styles and qualities is with the merchant tailors far more than with the clothiers. The cheap stuff bought from unrelia ble jobbers or third class manufacturers, which is flaunted before the eyes of the people, and about which so much shouting is done, cuts no figure on a comparison with the modern patterns in cloth, the late styles and the perfect and complete character of the garments we sell. But be cause we sell suits of OUR KIND of clothing as low as $6, $8 and $io (for Men) it does not signify that others who have similar prices on Suits are in any way competing in quality with us. You want appropri ate apparel when you buy, you want something in style, you want some thing genteelly serviceable. You get just that kind with us always. JUST ATTEND OUR GREAT AND WONDERFUL TO-DAY AND TO-IfiORROW OF MEM'S BUSINESS AID DRESS SUITS, Sio Worth gi4, $1$, Si6 and $ij at the unequaled price of To-Day and To-Morrow will be the last two days of this truly mar velous and remarkable offering.
