Our fisherman had splendid luck and was correspondingly exhilarated, even his nose blooming with Joy and the sun. Our boatmen weieprimo cooks and wo had pruned appetites, for never was a. dinner more enjoyed than that tliey cooked lor its. The steamer Corsican had brought us from Toronto, and the oxtiemlv limited accom modations had made us dread another boat Tho mattresses had a ridge in the middl that suggested lying on a gas pipe, and th berths were so short aud narrow that large people were objects of pity. A lady told us that her husband that morning held up a w hlto object, saying: "This is rather large fora handkerchief. Can you tell what it is?" "That is Intended for a sheet." Well might we think of the Scriptures, "For tho bed Is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on It. The coveting is narrower than that he can wrap himself in it." SHOOTING THE KAPIDS. The Passpoit, from Alexandria Bay to Montreal, was a great improvement. At Toronto wo had been much annojed by staring men, and ono of our party suggested as a reason that "perhaps wo looked queer." Was it because wo looked queer that Thomas Mossey, stewaid or baggage master of the boat, immediately took us under his wing and became our patron saint while on bond? He certainly lecognized us at once as Americans, for he let us know inside of five minutes that he lavored annex ation, and so fearful was he that wo should miss seeing any of tho rapids that he hunted us up on deck to sav that "dinner would ba ready in 20 minutes sharp, aud if we vrere down stalls so as to got in atonce, we should get ont in time to see everything." The apparent ease with which tho steamer "shoots the rapids," taking away the sense of danger, rather detracts from their im pi essiv eness, and w c all experienced a sense of disappointment, although tho treacher ous rocks on either side weio plainly visible at times, and four men wcio at the pilot wheel and four nt the tiller, and the Captai 1 had stern" anxiety depicted on his face. Tho Victoria bridge, with its '21 pieis and tho assurance that it is the longest bridge 111 tho wotld, also failed to Impress us as wo neaiod Montreal: As Montreal Is pre-eminently a city of chuiches, and sight-seeing was pre emlncnt 1) our object, we drov o the next morning (Sunday) to Kotre Dame Cathedral. Wo stood some time within the church waiting the august pleasure of the beadle to take us to a seat, and watched w ith curious eyes tho men, vrho ou entering tho church spread a handkeich.ef usually a colored one or a piece of newspaper on the floor to protect their one devout knee while at praj er. A VEE-vr IMPOSING rERSOXAGE. The Imposing looking beadle or usher of Xotre Dame must not be overlooked (we could not do it if we tried unless we stood on an elevation, as he was an unusually tall man) in our notice of stnking objects. Ho was decked out in a scarlet vest and deep scarlet collar, with gilt braid immeas urable, and carried a long, gilt-knobbed staff. Owing to tho rusty condition of our French, wo aie hardly prepared to pass judgment on the sermon, which was closely read. The music was very fine, a baritone soloist delighting ais especially. This ohurch, with its two towers, is a strik ing object when seen from any elevation, thus giving one an idea of its really great size, as it is said to hold 15,000 people. The interior view is very impressive, especially as wo saw it, with its vast congregation dur ing tho celebration of high mass. We do not know whether we heard the great bell ofthe Cathedral, said to be one ot the five laigest bolls in the world, for so many chuich bells rang, and so often, that they made a jinglo and Jumble of sound In which no ono seemed pie omiuont. On onr way back to tho Windsor, we stopped in a number of churches, the ma jority of which wore Roman Catholic. We got into tho "Presbyterian Church of Scot land" In time for the singing of tho last hymn, "Pilgrims of theXight,"andthebene diction, wliloh seemed very homelike. Wo started out in tho afternoon on foot, while tho paterfamilias of our party went to in vestigate Montreal Sunday schools. A DOUBLE rUNEEAL PBOCESSIOS. Wo had gone but a short distance when wo met a strange procession, a double funeral, probably a mother and child. The cairiers who preceded tho fl'st hearse wore long, black streamers on their tall hats and on their right arms. The horses drawing the heurso wcra covered with long, black trappings and from the hearse which was surmounted with crossos, angols, etc, long black stream ers floated fiom every point. Then followed a can-iage with six little boys, all decked out in white trimmings and long streamors like their elders. The white hearse, with its white ornaments, crosses angels, streameis, etc, had as ghostly an effeot as the first was funereal. The llttlo coffin, so plainly visi ble thiough tbe glass Bides, was of the old fashioned tapered shape. One or two car riage loads of women w ero followed by a score or more of men on foot, all wearing long black scat fs on their hats. A few moro eairiagcs completed the slow moving pro cession. A little further on, while waiting for a horse car, w e w ere attracted by a very unusual kind of music, and in a moment a detachment of the 8alvation Array stinted our eyes and ears in their unique fashion. We started on a double quick, hoping to oveitake thorn as they were a block away, but onr gait wm mm W$md&&fo mmmtxMi&i ;" ' .afcW"' fatigue march compared to theirs, and they were soon lost to sight and sound. As wo rodo through tho streets we were again im pressed with the number of handsome churches. The remarkably fine, now Methodist church hero is said to be tho finest of that aenomination in the country. We notice by the church dircctoiv that there are 23 Presbyterian churches, the larg est number of the Protestant denomination. OUT TOR A HOLIDAY. The drive np Royal Mountains is a very enjoyable-one, nnd as we took it on St. Peter and St. Paul's day we had an oppor tunity of seeing many of the people enjoying the holiday in families in plcnlo fashion. At ttio summit we founda pavilion with various Indian and other em iosities for sale, but the far-renehing view In which the Adlrondacks andBeloiel Mountain the noblo St. Law rence, with the Lachine Rapids and tho great city at our feet, were all parts ora beautiful pan orama, absorbed all our thoughts. On onr return our driver took us through tho Catholic Cemetery, stopping at the shrines placed at regular intervals, 1 op resenting the stations of the ctoss. The figures in colored bisqno, apparently, aro under glass and very effective. Xot knowing what wo were approaching, it was with feelings of reverential awo that we came in sight of this representation of Calvary There on the hill side stood three crosses, 20 feet in height, the figures on them and of the two Marjs standing at the baso, of life size. A group of 1 oung people kneeling at prav er added to tho impresslvenoss of the scene. We have no ttmo left to tell of tho Gray Xunnery which everybody visits, nor of our pleasant impressions or tho model Windsor Hotel. Wo left it with regret nnd hopes that we might somo day again sojourn within its hospitable walls. J. L. O. SOCIAL LIFE AT BEDFOBD.

Mr. and Mrs. Mar shall are among the most honored of our Pittsburg guests. General Little-field, who is at the head of the now short lino fiom Altoona to Bedford, arrlv ed here Wednesday last, and sav s that the short route from Pittsburg will be oponed by January 1, 1893. Mrs. Judge Kennedy, a charming lady, is pav ing tho Springs a v isit. Tho music at the Spnngs is better this year than ever.

Visitors who have been coming to Bed ford Sprines for the past 50 j cars say that the present season has up to date been the most prosperous this popular resort has ev er h id, and the air is simply teeming with con gratulations to Manager and Mrs. Doty, who have the cicdit lor this phenomenal suc cess. When the intensely low temperature that prevailed everywhere during July, and the effect It had upon other watering places which have suffered severely theretiom is considered, ono cannot help the question: "What wonld the season havu been like had the usual July heat prevailed?" In view of the piobablo rush to Bedford, which the next season will witness, Mr Doty is con templating large additions to the already extensive hotel buildings. If an one has doubts as to whether a liberal managoment pays lie has only to come to Bedford and stay for a-week or two at the Springs. IN THE FISHING CAMP. Pretty Sights Along tho Blonongahela Biver This Time of Year. rCOBIJESPOXDENCE OP THE DISPATCH.! West Elizabeth, Pa., Aug. 8 Ofthe army of pleasure seekers w ho escape the dust and heat of the city at this season of the year, a goodly portion affect the fishing camp, and the Monongahela river seems the most de sirable retreat. It is really surprising how popular the fishing camp has becomo along thi3 river within the past decade. A trip by boat from Pittsburg to MorgHntown dis closes nt intervals of every mile or so camps or sites of abandoned camps. These campers come from all classes and professions. In somo Instances the camp is a family camp, where the whole family goes out for a week or month of pleasure. Sometimes tho camp is made up of the members of some lodge, or ot fellow w orkmen in somo mill or fact ory. Occassionally a minister will take part of his flock for nn outing. Because It is n fishing camp It does not follow that tho chief and solo object Is to catoh flsh, far from it. Thero, they may en Joy tho fresh country air, and healthful rlv er breezes; bathing and boat excursions; fish ing, if any wish, and all the other pleasures attendant to camp life. Tho camp has a captain or commissariat, who has a general oversight of affairs. Ho keeps thefuuds and purchases all provisions. An assessment is mado upon the members of the camp w lion tho funds become low and each contributes his share to replenish the treasury. Tho average cost per member in camps where the best of fare is served is not over four dollars per week; sometimes much less, bometlmes outsidors aro taken ns boarders atthe rate of H per week and fnends who make the camp flj mg visits are entertained at the expense of the camp. WELL UP ME KIVER. The banks of tho fifth and sixth pools are tho most in favor for good loca tions. A high level plot of ground out of reach of any sudden nse oftho rivcrin some beautiful llttlo grove or clump of willows makes a desirable site. The camp is not usually located in tho immediate vicinity of aiiv' dwelling, but generally within a mile or two of somo river town, where a supply of provisions may be easily had. Some camps, however, make arrangements before leaving fiomo to have fiesh provisions sent upon tho boat caoh day. Having arrived at tho camping place, a cooking shed Is built, in which a stove is set up. Rude shelvos are ai ranged about the sides of the shed to accommodate cooking utensils. Arnde cupboard, well-filled with xrvfrnabla dishes, cotnnletes the kitchen .part 9t the camp. Tttan there must he a EBBf store room. If the camp is situated where there is bank or hillside, a cave in the ground will answer this purpose. Should tho situa tion be not favorable for a cave, a socond shanty or house is built. A largo open tent, with a permanent table In the center, answers as a dining room. Finally, sleeping tents aro provided, the number of which will of course depend upon lhe number of campers. A largo tent will accommodate eight to 12 persons. Sometimes the campers sleep upon tho ground rolled up In blankets, but very often comfortable berths are ar ranged about tho tents. Lines stretched across the tent, upon which are hung gar ments of all descriptions, obviate tho neces sity of a wardrobe. In the sleeping tents the respective members keep their personal ef fects and baggage. SEES' JKOM THE P.lVElt BOATS. Much tasto is displayed in the arrange ment of tho camps now to be soon along the Monongahela. Often a neat picket fence is built along tbe bank in front of the camp and nicely whitewashed. Over the gateway is an inscription with the name ofthe camp. A flight of steps from tho gato to tho water's edge is made by digging steps into the bank, and on either sido erecting a railing. Upon the beach and banks are made figures of animals, fishes, anchors, stars, etc., with shells or whitewashed stones, which look very pretty to tho passongers on the nver packets. Sometimes a large rock or boul der upon the shore will bo white washed and inscribed with mottos. such as "Xo Place Like Home," "Go Slow," "Grovor Cleveland," "The Girl 1 Left Behind," and "Rock of Ages." At one camp a little German, who had seen a picture In ono ofthe Pittsburg papers of a well-known statesman fishing, had produced tho picture in offlgy. A pair of blue overalls, a pink shirt, yellow seersucker coat, rubber boots, a paper collar nnd flaming necktie and an old straw hat which had seen its best days and perhaps woise completed the figure which wns labeled with a name that had been tho battle cry of a gi eat political party. it aiuou in cue water a lew ieec irom tne shore and hold suspended In the air a rod and lino to which was attached a good-sized porch. Tho camp always displays its patriotio spirit by hoisting the national colors in a conspicuous place. The great event of tho day is tho arrival or the boat, which is re ceived with a salute from the cannon, whloh is an appendage of every camp. The river mail is tho principal means of communica tion with home, and there are usually letters for some of tho campers. Then there are fresh supplies and peihaps some new luxury just come Into season. Upon the whole, for real pleasure and recreation, inoxpensiv eness and access ibility, there is no other field that offers a wider latitudo for enjoyment and ease than tho fishing camps along the Monongahela river, and this assertion is supported by tho fact that the camps are becoming moie numeious each season.

Ono or the most in teresting of tho events of the summer at this great summer resort is the carnival on Wesley Lake, tho nai row fresh water channel forming the boundary line be tween Ocean Grove and its neighbor, Asbury Park. This Venetian exhibition always excites the greatest interest among the summer visitors all along the coast resorts here abouts. Friday nfght this year's carnival took place. Over 200 canopy covered boats were roped Into line, and in ser pentine gyrations moved np and-lown the lake to the music of several bands.

How the Fakir Specialist Succeeds In Ply ing His Traffic Unmolested in Pittsburg Some of His methods Exposed There Is Moro to Follow. Of all the enemies to public life nnd safety the fakir specialist is the most dangerous. Against the confidence man, the burglar and the highwayman, society succeeds in pro tecting itself in some manner. But against the fakir specialist the only practical pro tection the public of Pittsburg has, in spite of our laws, lies in that indignation and con tempt which is always aroused after his tricks are exposed, his pretenses laid bare. The fakir specialist is more dangerous than others of the criminal class to which he properly belongs, because he preys upon the helpless and unfortunate. The highway man and burglar STAKE THErE LIVES in their desperate game. There is often a certain manliness and even bravery about their crime. The fakir specialist preys npon the pathetic longing for life and health that exists among invalids past recovery. He relies upon that singular popular cre dulity which is almost a disease in itself. One would think that his claims, whieh are alwaysiabsurd and preposterous to the in telligent and normal mind, would be be lieved by no one. One would say: "His claims are so absurd that no one would be lieve him. He is not a physician; he is a fakir, ignorant, unprincipled, contemptible. Let him alone. He will soon be found out." This sounds sensible enough, but its de fect lies in that it fails to take into consid eration thnt vast number of sick and dis eased, who have long hoped against hone, who have suffered for j cars without relfet, who are in the position of a drowning man, "catching at a straw," who are ready to listen to the voice of anyone who will prom ise relief or core. "But we have LAWS IN PENNSYLVANIA." Another sayj "laws of medical registration, laws requinng that a man who comes to Pittsburg to practice medicine shall undergo a rigid examination before the faculty of one of our medical colleges before he is allowed to practice here. "What is the need of these remarks about Pakir Specialists?" "Yes, we have laws and good ones. Penn sylvania should be proud of her medical laws, but Pittsburg should scrutinize more closely the ways in which they are evaded and disregarded within her limits." A fakir comes to Pittsburg, hires a cheap doctor to satisfy the laws and plies his trade unmolested. To the patients who come to him the Fakir is the 'physician. He con sults with them, prescribes for them and extorts their money from them. To the officers of the law, in case an investigation is made, the cheap doctor presents his cer tificate of registration, and here investiga tion ceases and the Fakir continues his traffic unmolested. "We have positive information of three or four fake concerns that have in this way evaded the laws and in this way imposed upon the public. We think this kind of imposition has gone on about long enough. It is time to present a vigorous challenge and if the authorities are unable to protect the sick and afflicted from ignorant and unprincipled pretenders to medical skill, to let in a LITTLE WHOLESOME DAYLIGHT on the subject. We welcome competitors. We are proud of the fact that every year sees more and more men of recognized abil ity and standing in the profession adopting our plan of advertising in the daily papers. We are proud and glad of the fact that most ofthe heavy advertisers in the daily papers in large cities to-day are regularly educated, regularly qualified physicians. But for their protection, for the public protection, and -for our own protection, it is our duty to expose-and denounce the imitations of un principled fakirs, who without the slightest pretext of medical training and experience, without the courage to publish their own names, and openly defy the laws, hire cheap doctors to protect them from the police, copy the style of advertising of reputable phjsicians aud insolently ply their illegiti mate traffic in our mid3t. We shall hav e more to say on this subject. Faets are stub born things, and we propose to deal in tacts. TWO 1T3AK3 AX 1XVALID.

'My back ached constantly. My stomach, breast, ribs in fact, my whole body was racked with pain. I WAS A COMPLETE WBECK. "I feared that my lungs were affected, and my heart would "flutter and palpitate so much at times that I thought to my other complaints would be added heart disease. "I hod not been able to work for o er two years. In this state I consulted Drs. Cope land and Hall, and these gentlemen told me that they believed that a cure was even vet possible. I at onco toolc treatment. The doctors at my first treatment removed six POLYrn from my nostrils. I gradually, under their methods, became better and better, until now my aches, troubles and pains have all left me.
