DECAY OF THE WAYSIDE INN.
A Relic of the "Good Old Times" Going
the Way of all Flesh.
INK AND ITS PLACE IN HISTORY.
Old Krd HOI-BO Tavern at South Slid-
bury ami tlio Immortals it Shel
tered Where tlio Talcs of a
" \Vuysldo Inn were Written.
The day of iho stage coach had ended ,
says Albert Ellis Hoyt in the Boston
Globe. The steam car , with its mar
vellous accession of speed und poworhnt
told its story to Now England , nnd the
old favorite was doomed. It foil , never
to rise , and with its fall came a changeover
ever Noiv England so gnnt that it is
almost impossible for us of a later generation
oration even to Imagine what the old
Now England was.
It has irene BO utterly that It Is onlj
now and then , vrhou eoino unexpected
reminder of its dead form suddenly
Hushes up in the mind , a partial portrait
x > f the New England of the not very ro-
rnoto pa t , that \vo can get any concop
tlon of the completeness of the change.
Such a reminder I have lately visited.
In melancholy grandeur , upon a little
omlnoncu bcsido the once busy thoroughfare -
faro whence the wave of advancing civi
lization has swept the travel of n worn-
out age , stands the old Rod Horse
tavern at South Sudbury , ono of tlio
TEoBt romantic of the old hostolrles that
BO eloquently toll the tnlo of a
day that is dono. Built over two
centuries ago , it was the center of
anoro than ono Indian raid , and up in its
* onorablo utlio the first settlers hid
their corn from the watchful eyes of tlio
redskin plunderers during their early
hardships ; it know Massachusetts when
she was u slave state , for hero is the odd
little bin swung from the garrett wall ,
the bunk \vhoro old 'SquiroAdnm Howe's
dwarf slivvo used to sleep ; it was old and
hoary when Ocorjjo III. losthis colonies ,
and the Dutch brick in Us chimneys hud
lilockcncd with tlio sruoko of moro than
n century when Washington dined and
wined , no doubt , beneath Its ancient
roof. la its guest chamber , hardly as
good as most modern fnrnihouso nttli-s ,
slept Lnfayotto , and ono wonders how ho
over got a" wink of sloop on the old-fnsh-
ioncd rope bedstead that was considered
BO stately tmd grand in that quaint old
Urao. It was well on in the last quarter
Ktrotch toward Us two-century birthday

to the picturesque old iiin. It bora a
part in the stirring scones of the revolu

the Hessian willingly the ono , by cora-
--pulsion the other for even hotels have

So soon forgotten nro all things tempo-
rail The \vaysldoinn silently yetlmpross-
ivcly points the obvious moral , There
is no room for the indlvldval , no matter
how great WB worth , no matter how ex
ulted his rank. All. even the old roof
that sheltered "Washington and Lafay
ette and Longfellow , must clop out of
the way for the incessant march of civili
zation , or remain in their picturesque
localism.and provincial lonlinesa only ,
Jlke the old Ian , u a curious relio of u
brgotten past. Individuality must bow
> efore corporation , mass and class , syndicate -
dicato and trubt ; the central and the
jenerul must absorb the local and the
remote , as the shark devours the min
now.
now.Not
Not alone the country tavern , but the
country itself , must decrease , has de
creased , that the city might Increase.
The centralizing force "grows ever
stronger , ever more unmerciful to the
wnysido inn and the wayside civiliza
tion.
tion.Tho
The old Red House no longer hangs
out its signal to the guest to enter , for
the inn is an inn no longer. It stands
today only as a picturesque i-olic of a
bygone era the era of the country
store , the btago coach , the tallow dip.
Honored beyond its fellows by reason of
the associations clustering about its his
toric name , it can nevertheless claimno
moro than they , any practical place in
the hurry and worry , the incessant hur-
Iv burly ot todav. it has dropped from
the race ; the railroad , the electric light ,
the telegraph have set a pace that its
ancient prowess cannot hope to rival. It
stands , by the commendable decision of
its owners , almost identically as it stood
when it was finally abandoned as a hos
telry thirty years ngo ; but were its bill
of faro today equal to the finest in the
world , no one except the historian , the
poet , or the pleasure-seeker would bo
tempted by its beautiful surroundings to
stop beneath the roof that has sheltered
homo of New England's greatest mon , to
rogi&tcr at the hotel that in its day was.
so prosperous and pretentious. The
R-eptro lias departed from Judah. It is
distanced in the commercial race , It
looms up in the commercial pravoyu-d ;
as an imposing monument. "Do mortuis
nil nisi bonutn. "
All ever the Now England and middle
states stand wayside inns that wore in
their day full of the busy hum of the com
ing and going travel of the stage-coach
and the post road ; now they stand idle
and untenanted , save for the gloomy and

It was a good civilization in its way ,
but wo would not cull it back. It is more
than childish , it is idiotic , to sigh for the

"Saints and Sinners" was the attraction
at tbo Boyd last evening , the Talmer com-
? any rounding out their cnBagcmcnt to the
arrest house of the season. It was a repre
sentative house , tlio life and fasuion of
Omaha being represented , though it. was Sat
urday night.
AVhcn Burns wrote his "Address to the
LJiico" Guld , " ho sounded the keynote of
"Saints and Sinners" :
"Then gently scan your brother man
Still pentlcr , sister woman ,

To step aside is human. "
No play of the modern stage appeals so
strongly to the hearts of tbeutcr-golnp people
as It. Emotional to a dcpee , it comes as
near bcinK possible as anything now pictured
for the entertainment of devotees oJ tuo
stage , And the company that produced
it last night deservedly may ha called
the rcprcsentativo dramatic organization of
America.
If only Mr. Stoddard would remain s ho
noxv is. Hut ace is coniing on , anrt before
long his place on the stage will bo but a
reminiscence. Yet 'it must bo satisfaction
for this representative nctor to know that
what ho has done in the last quarter of a cen

tation for all timo.

The republicans now think Warren elected
by about 2,000 majority , but It may fall short
of thai. The republicans have carried every
county from which returns have beoa re
ceived. In this countj- there was a genuine
landslide. There is a slight possibility
that the democratic candidate for sheriff
may pull in by a few votes , but the possibil

do not hang much hope on it. The rest of the
