THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: NEW YORK'S SUNMER RESORTS | One Thing About Which the Me- tropolis Isn’t Stingy. LOTS OF FUN FOR LITTLE MONEY A Dollar Buys a Great Deal of Amusement, and for Two Dol lars You Oan Have a Royal Time. Ountings For Everybody. New YORrK, August 18.—[Special to Tue Bee.]—Life in New York boasts of many pleasures not to be obtained in Omaha. New York is very happily situated as regards natural facilities for enjoy- ment, surrounded as it is by water, with miles of sea beach and river within easy reach. Resorts have sprung up on all sides, whore for a small sum those of limited means can secure a day’s pleasure. First and foremost of these is Coney Island, of which everyone has heard. The stranger in New York, if sojourn- ing buta day, includes this in hisjvisit, and it is essentially a resort for a day. Closer to the city than any other beach, with a-dozen railroad and steamboat lines competing for traffic, the fare from the city being from 40 to 50 cents, aud the time from forty minutes to one hour, thousands of visitors go there on every pleasant day. Tho best way to €9, rhaps, is by the steamboats, which take you a pleasant sail down the bay and out iuto the ocean just far enough to give you the FIRST SYMPTOMS OF SEA-SICKNESS, and then land at the iron piers which are just half a milo from the shore, The beach is divided into_four sec- tions. ““The Point,” “West Brighton,” *‘Brighton’ and **Manhattan.” “The Point” is the most westerly part of the island and containg nothingof in- terest, Manhattan is at the eastern end and is famous principally for its two mammoth hotels, the Manhattan Beach and the Oriental. Tn front of these and extending to the water are aserics of well kept parks, and in front of the Manhattan Beach hotel is the pavilion in which Gilmore’s band discourses the grandest music to the accompaniment of the roar of the surf. It is in the evening that Manhattan beach is at its best, when the many lights of all colors domug the parks and )mv\l\mm, the majestic roar of the surf and the & strains of music all combine to r scene never to be forgotten. Here too, may be scen Paine’s pyrotechnic oxhi bition of the *‘Last days of Pompeii,” an entertainment of the same class as the “Siege of Sebastopol,” which was presented in Omaha last season, and under the same management. Brighton Beach lLies between West Brighton and Manhattan, and is con- nected with the latter by a railroad about a quarter of a mile long, over n small bay. The fare for riding this short distance is 5 cents, an exnorbitant um, Brighton Beach was in former years one of the chief attractions of the island, but the sea has graduallv en- croached upon the beach until last year it whs found {mecegsary to move. the thammoth hotel nearly a quaiter of mite inland. Dhe grounds have been rearranged, and. the hotel ‘attracts its usual. quota ‘of “reguldr giests, but it fails“to draw the crowds that once througed its vicinit; An elevated railroad connects this place with West Brighton, the great center of attraction for the vast crowd of visitors. Manhattan and Brighton are favorite resorts for those of riches and refined taste, but the common peo- plo profer Weost Brighton. There is nothing like it anywhere elsa:dn the country. Almost every small city in the east has itsresort that claims 10 be “like Coney Island,” but THE GENUINE CONEY ISLAND can be found only at West Brighton. Some people come here to bathe, but more come to pass the day among the other attractions of the place. If you will imagine the fair at Omaha with the fair lefv out, but with all the other tractions, such as merry-go-rounds, dime museums, beor halls, fakirs, lunc I counters and the like, and multiply these features by filty, vou will have a fuir idea of the attractions of West Brighton. Here are lo- cated some of the largest beer halls, or ‘“casinos” as they call them, uotably Bauer’s, which is as large as the Omaha exposition building, and zberg’s, nearly as large. In Buuer’s a_comic opera performance is given. The admission is free except for the liquid refreshments you are ex- pected to purchase. Hundreds of smaller places exist, at which a cheap variety performance is constan tly going on, and which are all freo to all who may have5 cents for a glass of beer. The hot **Frankfurter” sandwich man can bo seen here on every corner. The “frankfurter” is identical with the Omaha *‘wienerwurst.” A mammoth image of a cow furnishes joe-cold milk ats cents a glass, drawn by a pretty milkmaid IN THE NATURAL WAY. The mammoth wooden elephant towers above the houses, and for 10 cents you may climb up into his inter- ior, which is divided off into rooms with n]ppruprium names, as the '‘eye room,” the stomach room, and the like, Prices are reasonable at West Brigh- ton, and a person may pass a very pleasant day there at u total expense of not to exceed $2, and he may bave a very fair day’s amusement for even us litlo asa dollar, The next beach Island coast east land is Rockaway. It 15 seoar ated from it by Jumaica buy, a large body of water, which is a favor ite fishing ground. Rockaway aiffers from Coney Island principally in the fact that there isn’t 5o much of it, It ‘18 roached from New York by rail and boat, The fare 1s tifty cents. It is the oldest of New York’s soaside resorts, and is very populnr with a large num- ber of patrons. Here is located the largest hotel in Amorica, In fact it is 80 large that nobody has been found equal to the task of running it at a Fmflt und there it stands, majestic and lonely, & monument to folly. There has recently been put forward a scheme to run it 48 w summer home for poor peo- ple, at a rate per head to cover ex- penses, the money to be furnished by charitable persons and associations, It 18 & good idea avd will probably be car- ried out. The nuple met at Rockaway are much the same class as at Wost Bri hwn. with the exception that less of 5!6 “tough” element is to be found here, it being more of afamily vesort. * Far Rockaway and Avenue-by-the- Sea” ure the next points upoun the coast, and here we find few of the day ex- cursionists trom New York, the visitors consisting chiefly of permanent summer residents. It is & delightful place and has some of the finest beach oun the Atlantic coast. Long Beach, further up the shore, is s still more uristocratic resort, asis on the Long of Coney Is: Fire Island, the most easterly of the Long Island Beaches of note. Staten Island has recently developed a new resort, called South Beach. This the second season of its popularity as & recognized resort. It is nearer to the city than any other sea beach, and the fare is cheaper—20 cents fof the round trip. The beach looks directly out upon the ocean, but the surf is not very noticeable, as the waters of tho bay break its force. It reminds me more _forcibly of Manawa than any place I Bave seen. The arrange ments are about'on a par Wit THOSE AT MANAWA, and the surroundings much the same. Like Omaha’s resort, it is yet crude and unfidished and needs large invest- ments to place it on an equal footing with Rockaway and other places of like character. Tho'tesorts on the Jersey constare well known: Long Branch, the once fashionable resort of New Yorkers, now given over to shoddy aristocracy and gamblers; Rlberon, made sacred to the nation’s heart by the tragic death of jarfield; Asbury Park and Ocean Grove, the home of the Math odists nnd religious people generall Deal Beach and Ocean Beach, and Nor- mandio, by the sea—all of these places are within two hours’ ride of New \mk, and the expense for a tvip from 75 cents to $1.50. Bowery Bay Beach is a popular resort opposite Hurl('m. where still water bathing and attractions similar to those of West Brighton can be found atan expense of 20 cents for the round trip. Glen Island 1s a. collection of five small islands at the entrance to Long 1sland sound, wh have been fitted up Dby Cuptain John Starin, proprietor of the Starin line of steamboats, Here may be found a menagerie, dnnmnz pavillion, ‘groves, parks, bathing and boating, nng the fare for the round trip is 40 cents. There are other places of lesser note within short distances of the city, at equally repsonable rates, 8o that a man with a. very limited income can enjoy himself in a way that would be impos- sible 1n Omitha, and go to a different place once a week during the entire summer, Steambonts will take you up the Hudson to West Point and New- burg and return for 50 cents; the Erie railway will give youn ride to Shohola Glen, a beautiful spot in Pennsylvania, 107 miles from New York, for 81 for the round trip, or to Greenwooa Lake, in northwestern New Jersey, tor the same sum. There is no city in the country that offers the nwnber and _variety of excursions ot low rates. Boston only offers two popular resorts—Nantasket and Nahant--Chicago has few chances for these amusements. A ride on the lake or a picnic at some grove is about the extent. Omaha has Manawa. Cort- landt Beach and Pries Jake, but there are possibilities of great profit to some one who shall discover and equip a re-« sort for Omaha people of a character more nearly approaching to those of New York. Rain has fallen here with but little intermissin for the past ten days, Some Sunday papers contained elabor- cles’ stating that the present on was at an end—that the e in the atmosphere had been exhausted, and a further deluge was impossible. But in spite of these as- sertions, the sky is still of a leaden hue, and the rain continues to fall steadily, all of which proves that the weath: y)x'fi]_)l.c!.a have not yet masteved their ealling. Humidity hassuch an effect upon the teinperature in New York and other sea board-cities that the thermometer fails to convey an_aotual idea of the weather to those accustomed to the dry bracing air of Nebraska. When the thermometer registers 88° degress here, the actual degre of discomfort experienced by the neat is as great as if the mercury were at 109= or over in Omaha, and when the zero point is reached here it feels much colder than some of the 202 to 302 be: low zero wenther I have_known in Omaha. New Yorkers wonder how people in* the northwest stand such weather, and congratulate themselves that the mercury ravely goes below zero here, not realizing that they are expe- rll'n(‘\n" greater discomfort than those they pity The elimate here simply *‘beastly,” ern man, being made up for most part of rain and fog. It rains e all through the winter as well as summer, and the present year has been an unusually wet one even for New York. Possibly the victory for the “wets”in the adjoining states of Penn- sylvania and Rhode Island has had something todo with it. CHARLI -— A FEARFUL VENGEANCE, T. BUNCE. How the Dental Student Got With the Cruel Landlady. New York Weekly: “There, sirl” ex- claimed the cruel landlady, as she shoved a poor young man into the street and handed him a bundle containing only his soiled Linen. **There,sir, take that, ana never dare show your face in my highly respectable boarding house ag'in. ThHis house is for decent people as pays their bills, an’ you'll never git your trank until you pay yours. Be- gone!” Passers-by gazed curiously at the young man as these words flew into the ambient air, and with his heuart in his mouth, his soul pierced with the iron of misfortune, yot his pride unsubdued, he muttered: “'Tis a long lane that has no turni the wheol. of fortung never stops, ai d some day you may be in my power as I am now in yours.” “Begone!” This was the landlady’s only response, and it was uttered in tones that startled even the drowsy beetles beneath the stoue steps aund the policeman at the corner. The young man, with a power- ful effort at self control, choked down his grief and dragged his wenry limbs away. For weeks he had paced the great, bustling, heartless city, looking for work. He had come from a rural vil- lage where he bad been a deusist’s as- sistant, and he had boped to find a place in the metropolis where he could earn a living and ultimately attend a dental college until he should become master of his chosen*Profession, Fortunately his evident distress as he was turned from the proud landlady’s door attraeted the attention of a busi- vess man in need of a faithful assistant and the long lane had turned. Five years are supposed to have elapsed. The onco proud lmulludy is still atthe old stand, but she is proud no more. Her once haundsome apartments are faded and vacant; her table seats but hersell and an occasional near-sighted transient; her larder, never full, is now empty, likewise her purse, which in the halcyon days of five years ago was al- ways full rectly opposite are the handsome parlors of a rising young dentist,and on the wiudow in bold gilv letters is Even g STEEL POINTED H : BOARDING HOUSE TEETH 3 A SPECIALTY, 3 Mir.

A TIMID, ELDERLY MAID:N, She's Hard to Handle When the Big Waves Come — The Holiness Meetings—A Baby Artist's Realistio Piotures. The Atlantic Oity Beaoh. Artantio Crry, August 21.—[Special to Tur Bee.|—This is the banner week in the history of Atlantic City. The crowd holds on. The outgoing trains take very few away, and those coming in are heavily laden, each bringing hundreds of pleasure seekers. Up to the last train arrived to-night the depots have been the scenes of bustling, good- natured activity. Besides brighiening the countenances of the hotél koepers and mer- chants, this extraordinary arrival of guests has enlivened those who preceded them to the shore, and the avenues, porches and walks present a scene that rivals even the ever-welcome, eagerly-awaited Saturday night throng. The season is now at its height. The sea- side blanket has been cut in two for the last time—it bemg impossible to wear them any smaller—and is being put 1 patches upon the poor, patient Philadelphia papa, who comes down to spend Sunday with his fam- ily, leaving a sixteen-foot square bedroom, and possibly a good time with the boys, to be told that he can 0COUPY A PARTICULAR FIGURE upon the floor in a corner of the ladies’ wait- ing room, or the gentlemen's smoking room, or a sofa in the hall, ““Why can't I have a cot?” he asks, while everybody else smiles, and the proprietor assures him that there is not a single cot to be obtained in the state of New Jersey. J feel sorry for him,and as he stands in the all amid a labyrinth ' of “grips,” umbrellas, trunks and spectators, not even the sweet, tender looks of a devotedly anxious wife, as as she plies him with questions as to his health and the like, or the affectionate touch of her little hand upon his arm as she looks up into his face, serve to chase away the look of deep gloom that pervades his visage. Oh, it's delightful; there's no doubt about it! Kverybody says so! And thus the procession goes un day after day, and year upon year, and will continue to move on, a part—and a most dramatic part—of the ebbing and flowing of the tiaes of life. The air is genuine; indeed some dis— appointed,disheartened and discouraged peo- ple who come seeking something they do not find, declare that the air is THE ONLY GENUINE THING about seaside life, but we know better. I, myself, have had several genuine experi ences. I hava been enticed into going in the surf with an old-time triend of mine—an an- cient maiden lady of whom Lam very fond. She wears a_black bathing suit; she is o mourner. What for, no ome upon earth knows; but she mourns, and later on 1do too! She admits she is not an expert when it comes to a tussle with the waves, and that she is a trifle weak for one so spparently well preserved, but if I will kindly help her just a little she can do nicely. We promise and we repent. [ am very much amused at her distress about getting wet and her fear of drowning,but when she stoops over and makes a spasmodic effort to draw her four inches of black flannel down over a pair of number four-and-a-half pedal extremities, we drop on the sand and fade into a laugh. By and by she becomes interestea in a bachelor who is near us, and as she forgets herself for the instant the fun again begins. She is just getting ready to poise when a great roller strikes her on tho back. She gives a yell that would arouse the jealousy of the “Angel Gabriel” and wake every sleeping babe 8t this peach, and THROWS HERSELF UPON MY NECK in the latest approved style, and holds on like ‘‘grim death.”—forgetful thats we are face-downward in the sand, and that I don't swim, and that [ can’t *do the Mermaid,” and that the customs of the clam are to me a sealed book, and that the ways of the oyster are unfamiliar to me, and that, in fact, I am utterly powerless to do_anything. As my mouth fills with sand and salt water, and my past misdeeds pass in panoramic-view before my fast-fading vision—and ‘‘the things we ought to have done” rise up to taunt us, and those *‘we should not have done” roll in tor- rents through a mind that is almost gone, I realize that life is real, life 18 earnest and that the muscle of the average ‘‘weak wo- man” is something to run away from. I am rescued by a member of the lite saving service, aud as I wend my weary way toward the bath house I lapse into a contemplative mood, and ven- ture to suggest to myself that there must be something in a seaside life, or all creation would not test it. The preacher, philosopher, physician and politician are all here. Some' prictice while others preach and all add to the general good. There has been a series of meetings lield near the Ocean house by the holiness people, and atthe 5o'clock a. m. praise meet- ing several thousand were prosent. Great religious excitement was manifested and the shouts and cries of the enthusiastic worship- ers aroused the sluggard from his early morning dreams. At these meetings great religious zeal is shown, and the experiences were many and exciving. One man said he came out on & train, and as he ncared the place of worship he felt ‘‘gooder” and figooder,” and when he reached the spot he was ALMOST READY TO “‘BUST.’” This brought to my mind a certain experi- ence that was related by an Iowa lawyer some yoars ago. It seemed that when he was s youth his idea of heaven and the other Je, had been measured by. degrees of ht.hl and cold, and he feared death, the grave and heave, looking upon the last'as a cold, dark place—a sort of refrigerator as it were —in which he was expected to- be happy But when his dear mother was taken away, he felt his feelings warming toward that fu- ture home, and.as the years went by and an- otber dear one was gathered fathers, heaven séemed brighter and Swarmer,” and as hs reviewed the departure of six or seven members of his family, each one adding a sunbeam to the al- ready scorching atmosphere with which he in his excitement had surrounded heaven, the perspiration ran from his face, and his friends struggled in vain with the smiles they were unable to suppress. “The choir began singing the song entitled “I'm but & stranger here, Heaven is my home,” after which the minister pronounced e benedic- tion, and our legal friend wandered out into the night to ponder upon the possible com- {;)rt of ahome with his friende—*bye and e ‘The “drop-a-nickle-in-the-slot” machive is a great feature at the seaside. - They meet you st every turn, All the hotels have them and it is amusing to see with what skill they are maoipulated.

Mus, WiLLiam 8, STRAWN, \ STERIES. There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreampt of in your philosophy, r ~—Hamlet. A little mnr%nmn gaven months ago Mr. R. Rummery, of Lewes, a village in Maine, was taken ill with chronic rlu‘unu\lmmqfl hysteria, which seemed to effect every nerve in his body. P.ior to his illness his sight had been bad, and now he Meeame totally blind in one eye, and gradually began to lose the power of vigion in the other. Heo was brought hm-(irhum Bath a helpless in- valid. For & tbnth past he was utterly prostrate, and never left his bed, nor could he well raise his body therein without assistance. One day there came from London a ister who sometimes preached in the chapel which the sick man was in the habit of at- tending. He had known the patient for some years, and was well acquainted with all the circumstances of his illness, He had it suggested to offer a special prayer, asking God to restore the sick man to health, Upon his arrival in Lewes a small party assembled in the chapel and there prayed that the Giver of Life would restore their brother to health once more. The little party had a belief in the unending efficacy of the instructions set forth in tho fourteenth and fifteenth verses of the fifth chapter of St. James. The minister and five others proceeded to the sick chamber. Their friend lay so prostrate and ill that th scarcely dared to speak to him, Sol- emnly they annointed him by pouring a fow drops of oil on his head and then laying their hands in turn upon him. Kneeling then by the bedside, pr: was once more offered, when, wi ten minutes of the arrival of the Xur(.y. Mr. Rummery, of his own accord, sat up in bed, a thing he had been unable to do for weoks, e took from his face the shade which for two months had covered his eyes, and at once oxclaimed: “T can see!” = At first his fingers ap- peared dimly to his vision, then his eys gradually bo came stronger, and soon he recognized the friends around him. In a short time he looked from his window and described the view spread out in the evening light and backed by the Southdown hills. All pain had entirely left him. The on- ward progress did not stop here, for to the amazement of all, he soon after got out of bed, dressed himself and walked down stairs unaided. For weeks no solid food had passed his lips, but upon g.-mng down staivs, he became raven- sat down and y meat sup- He further tested his eyesight and read a chapter from the bible be- fore going hack to his bed for the night. He enjoyed then what had long been denied him—a night of perfect rest, free from pain. Next day he arose, dressed, walked down stairs again unaided,and took a stroll in his gardea. Aftena few days’ change of air, Mr. Rummery proposes to resume his ordinary daily employment. In 1868 Liz4ié M. Trask, of Vienna, was dr sqmuknw in Lewiston, Me. She came into possession of a gold twenty- five cent piecé with a hole in it. This she showed asa curiosity to her friends. At that time she had a little niece two s old, daughter of Jonathan P. k, now the wife of Leman Butler, e at Mt, Vernon. The littls coin Lizzie once qhm\gd to her niece, Addie, when she was a very small girl, telling her that she would give it to her when she wasold enpugh to take cave of it. Lizzie died twylve years ago. Tn her possession was'h good lady’s wallet with several compartinents. This wallet her mother used ‘until her death, seven years ago. Then James, a broiher of Lizzie, had it, and it has been in con- stant use almost daily ever since, either by him or his wif The little coin was never seen after Lizzie’s death, or be- fore forseveral years by her friends, and its whereabouts was not known, and, in fact, its existence had passed from their memory. A few days ago Mrs. Butler made her parents a visit, stopping with them several nig'm,s. ‘While there she dreamed she s her Aunt Lizzie’s wallet, and th it was faced with green, and in \in com- partment she found the little gold coin which she saw so maay yeavs ago. On teiling her mother her ‘dream she was informed that Lizzie did have a wallet which answered her description, and that her Uncle James had it. The wallet Addie had aever seen. She then visi her uncle and told her dream to her aunt, who laughed at the idea of anything being in it other than what she and her husband had placed there. But at Addie’s earnest solicita- tion she produced it, and as soon s Adadie saw it she exclaimed: ‘‘That the samo wallet I saw 1n my dream! and pointed out the compartment that held her treasure. She then took a needle aund, runuing it to the bottom, she drew forth a newspaper, and in it was, indeed, a gold quarter with a hole in it, wrapped, no doubt, by the hands of hér aunt at least twelve yeurs be- fore, where it had lain all that time, and no one knows how much longer, without the knowledge of anyone, until Addie’s dream caused it 1o be brought forth. Several days ago Patrick Gallagher, of Detroit, felt in his mm pocket for his pipe. It was not there, and its ab- sence caused him to mnl\o a terrible wish, His wife reproved him. ‘“Well, 1 don’t care,” he said. ‘“‘Here with this upl\(lu‘l hand to heaven, I pray that my Creator will paralyze the man who has my pipe.” Before his utterances had died away Gallagher folt a severe twitching of the heart and complained of feeling unwell. A doctor was hastily dispatched for, and said that he had re- ceived a stroke of paraly: As Galla~ gher was in straitened cumstances it was deemed'’best to remove him for treatment to:thé Home for the Aged Poor, corner of Scott and Dequind streots, whioh'-was accordingly done.

She has been abso- lutely free from pain since the miracu- lous cure was effected, and rides about the eity in her carringe, rapidly regain- ing hor health. The cure has created a profound sen- sation, and especially so as the husband, who has always been an infidel, bas now embraced the cause of Christianity and is a firm believer. This is the first cure effectod here by this strange method, and the doctor is now kept busy supplying the demand for medicinal scripture. A number of cures have since been reported, but none of pronounced type. , The case of Mvs, Grieb isa singular one at least and oven unbelievers are forced to acknowledge that a weok ago she was bed-ridden, with no prospect of recovery, and now she is well so far as piin concerned, and is rapidly gain- ing strength. Policeman James Kane, of the Four- teenth precinet, Brooklyn, sat in the telegraph room of the Ralph avenue police station, with his head bowed on his arm, which was supported by the re- lay table. A reporter who entered the room asked the officer if anything was ailing him. “*No,” said Kane; “but I think I'm going to die. I feel that way. You seo, I'm gelting old, and as I've put in sixteen years on the force, I think death will claim mo before I have time to resign. I think the next time you write anything about me it will be an obituary uotice. Make it nice, and say that I always did my duty and wn.sn;mml officer, but don’t praise me too much, because I don’t like that sort of business. Be sure that you don’t give any taffy about my saving lives and that sort of th(ng I mean what I say, for I think I’m going to die.” Kane proceeded to_discuss the fate of ‘Aeronaut tlogan, and then changed the subject to prize fighting. But when the newspaper man was about to leave him he said: “Don’t forget that obituary business. I'm not joking, for I've had a presenti- ment that I’m going to die.” Shortly before noon yesterday the re- porter entered the station 0. He was at once approached by several po- licemen, who said in chorus “Kane has just dropped dead, and you'd better grant his request about that obituary notice, He was stricken with paralysis this morning.” The reporter took the matter asa joke until Police Surgeon Sullivan en- afew minutes out an official report of A lady who was a widow and whose hushand had been defranded by his part came down to breakfast oue morning hml\\uu strangely disturbed. Her husband’s partuer had beel well known in Boston, but at th he had given up his residence here and was living in the state of Maine. It may be that his removal had been in part at least. brought about by the pub- lic indignation which was felt at his crooked dealings with his late partner and with the widow, whom he had de- frauded in the most high-handed fash- 100, although not in ways which made legal redress possible.
