ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I
BEDFORD SPRINGS, June 13.-The opening of
the season here to-day is the beginning of
brighter times for this ancient resort. The
Improvements have been going on since the
day the season closed last fall. Several old
buildings have been torn down and others
have taken their place. The Pennsylvania
Railroad has given Bedford O prominent
place in its advertising mediums. while
praises, of old Bedford. The slow and
tedious ride in poor and dirty cars from
Huntingdon to Bedford is thing of the
past. This year q through express train
composed Of new Pullman cars will carry
passengers from Huntingdon to Bedford in
O little over an hour without stop.
More rooms have been engaged at the
hotels at this time than ever before. Lake
Caledonia, q beautiful sheet of water cover
ing over ten acres, is one of the many new
attractions. Boating and. trout fishing can
be INDUCED in.
Among the many Pittsburgers who have
already engaged rooms are r. B. Brown and
family, Charles j. Clarke, Otto Wuth and
family, the Dalzells, Baileys, Marshalls,
Beyers, McKees, and many others who are
annual visitors to Bedford.
Friday, June 10, an annual excursion of
some 300 newspaper men, with their fam
lilies, from Washington Baltimore, Philadel-
phia and New York, will arrive. They will
be the guests of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company and will spend some three or four
days, bringing with them Hassler's famous
PHILADELPHIA orchestra,

The seaside and hilltop season is here. All
along the coast line of the East on the shady
hills, and beside picturesque lakes and
broad rivers mine host has opened his reg
lister and smilingly awaits the guest who
will fill his house and his pocket. Soon the
excursion train will be hauling tired hun
dreds over the Jersey levels and up the
heavy mountain grades, and the cities will
be turned over to the stay-at-homes. But
very many are enabled by the cheap rates
and frequent runs to take at least dash in
the breakers or siesta on the hills, return
ing dusty but refreshed, thankful for a Whit
of salt air or O sniff of the balsam. The
season promises to be prolific one, thanks
to the prosperity of the nation and the
craving for change. Everywhere fresh
amusements and attractions, new hotels and
reftted old favorites await the visitor. In
a few days the season will be fairly inaug-
urated. What awaits the summer tourist
at some of the favored spots can be cleaned
from the news appended.

Commander in Chief W. G. veazev, in a
| circular letter to the order, writes as fol-
lows: -
In connection with what has been termed
the silver" anniversary, the attention of
comrades Is called to the action of the
twenty-fourth National Encampment at
Boston in respect to the erection of Me-
! moral Hall at Decatur, I'LL, the birthplace
OF the order, for depository of the records
and other material constantly accumulat-
ing, essential to a preservation of the his
tory, in all its details, of the G. A. R. Pur-
suant to such action the Commander in
Chief appointed a committee, consisting of
Comrades Richard j. Oglesby, of Illinois;
George A. Marden, of Massachusetts, and
Joseph w. O'Neall, of Ohio, to carry out the
expression of the encampment in this be-
half, and this committee has issued COM
mun1catIon to the comrades setting forth
their action and recommendations. As the
committee therein state, the National En-
campment voted that the proposed monu-
mental and memorial structure should be
erected from the voluntary contributions of
the comrades.
1t is very essential that depository for
the purpose alluded to should be speedily
provided, as the records and other historical
material of our order are already volumi-
nous, rapidly increasing, and are liable to
waste, loss or destruction. 1t would be an
quarto-centennial year to make provision by
our own voluntary act, and it need not bear
with any nyappreciable weight on any, for this
necessary and laudable object.
The Commander in Chief, therefore, COM
mends this matter to the favorable consid-
Grafton of all departments and posts, and
would suggest that prompt action be taken
to the end that all contributions of comrades
be completed soon, as a full report will be
rendered at the National Encampment at
Detroit in August of all receipts up to July
Is, so that immediate attention is needed to
secure recognition therein.
Major Frank L. HayS of Decatur I'LL has
been appointed treasurer by the local COM
mlttee having the matter in charge at Deca-
tur, to receive all contributions; and all re-
mittances, with lists of comrades sharing
therein, should be sent direct to him as
above. All posts are also requested to send
him at the same time one of their post
rosters, to be placed with the others in the
archives of this structure that the name and
history of each post may be transmitted to
generations yet unborn, who may thus learn
by whose exertions this great nation was
brought safely through the storms of war to
the later years so fraught with the blessings
OF peace.

attend the convention of Master Railroad
Mechanics. The exhibition of appliances in
Exhibition Hall" was put in place Wednes-
day, and is creditable show. There are
over 200 exhibitors, each one having some
thing for some part of a car, and in all the
exhibits there is everything needed for the
complete construction OF car for frst-class
service.
Things begin to look like real summer,
as there are daily a number of visitors who
indulge in the ocean bath, and the beach in
the morning is full of children playing upon
the sands The cottages are nearly ali 0ecu-
pied with their summer occupants, and the
regular season of enjoyment is in full blast.
