fusion to estimate closely the losses
in the fire which last night swept
through the Belgium exposition of 1910,
wiping out whole sections of fairylike
architecture and causing the loss Of
two lives, but the damage will run
into millions of francs. The entire
Belgian and British sections, the whole
tennessee of Brussels, The Coney Is

chutes, toboggan slides and other spe-
ciaI entertainments and everything
west OF the avenue des Nations, were

OLD Pennsylvania TAVERN
Noted HosteIry Where Great stage
Coaches Put Up Half a Cen
fury Ago.

The old Stone house at the iunef
ton of the Franklin and Pittsburg
pike with the Erie and Pitts burg
pike is one of the noted historin
spots in Butler county. Half CEN
fury ago the great stage coaches
over these noted highways put up at
the Stone house for the night
Buckwheat cakes, honey, country
ham, sausage, Indian mush, dough-
nuts, roasted potatoes and mincel
pies formed the larger part Of the
menu at this noted hostelry.
The building was erected in 1917
and is still occupied. 1t stands at
the crossroads and is surrounded al
most entirely by a dense forest. IL
was the first house built, possibly,
on the thousand-acre tract Of land
taken up by the Mcclure family and
is still in their name.
There are many wild and weird
stories connected with the famous
house which the old people in the
neighborhood tell, but they lack the
element which make them true his
tory. However, it is not too much
to say that previous to the Civil war
strangers were known to enter the
old Stone house who were never
again seen. These were in the days
of counterfeiters, stage coach tr'yel,
open gambling and open barrooms.

The doctor resided at Cough

know that the dictionary was begun

house, which is a large one, he had
a room fitted up for his five or six
assistants, whom he kept constantly
under his eye, t. ,
An interleaved copy of Bailey's
dictionary in folio he made the basis
of his work, and he collected his au-

method being to score with a black

The house has many melancholy
memories. Here Johnson Wlte dled
