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,

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.

He was taken in custody, but was after

PITTSBURG- DISPATCH,
THE LIFE IN A GLASS.
It Does Not Seem to be Very Much but It
is Often Enough fo be the Beginning of
Death.
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

THE OLD, OLD STORY.
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. I bad received treat
ment from 20 physicians, yet gradually grew
worse, and for one year before beginning treat
ment with these physicians I was scarcely
able to do any wort I have now worked hard
for the past two months, feel well and strong,
and words do not express the Joy 1 feel that
my life has been spared and health restored. I
hereby sicn my name, FRED HAHN."

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

Worth gi4, $1$, Si6 and $ij

omical miss this sale. The Suits we offer at gio must be seen to be ap
preciated. They are made of fine All-wool Cheviot, Cassimeres, Serges,
