Nnw YORK , August 13. [ Spoclal to
CTiiK BICE. ] Life in Now York boasts
of many pleasures not to bo obtained In
Omaha ,
Now York is very happily situated as
regards natural facilities for enjoy
ment , surrounded as it is by water ,
with miles of sea boaoh nnd river
within easy roach. Resorts have
sprung up on all sides , whoio for a
email sum tlioso of limited moans can
ecciiro n dny'n pleasure.
First and foremost of these la Coney
Island , of which everyone has hoard.
The stranger In Now York , U sojourn
ing but a day , Includes this in his vlsit ,
nnd it is essentially a resort for n day.
Closer to the city than any ether beach ,
with u-doron railroad and steamboat
lines competing for tralllo , the faro
from the city being from 40 to GO cents ,
nnd the time from forty minutes to ono
hour , thousands of visitors go there on
every pleasant day. The best way to
go , perhaps , is by the steamboats ,
which tuko you a pleasant sail down the
bay and out into the ocean just far
enoughto give you the
f VlHST SYMPTOMS OP 8EA-8IOKNBSS ,
and then land at the iron piers which
nro just half a milo from tlio shore.
The boaoh is divided into four sec
tions. "Tlio Point , " "West Brighton , "
"Brighton' ' and "Manhattan. "
"Tho Point" is the most westerly part
of the island and contains nothing of in
terest , Manhattan is at the eastern
end and is famous principally for its two
mammoth hotels , the Manhattan Bench
and the Oriental. In front of these and
extending to the water are a series of
well Iccpt parks , and in front of the
Manhattan iJcuch hotel is the pavilion
in which Gilmoro's band discouraps the
grandest music to Hie accompaniment
of the roar of tlio surf. It is in the
evening that Manhattan beach is at its
bqsi , when the many lights of all colors
dotting the parks and pavilions , the
majestic roar of the surf ana the sweat
strains of music all combine to make a
scone never to bo forgotten. Hero too ,
may' bo scon Paino's pyrotechnic exhi
bition ot the ' 'Last days of Pompeii , "
nn entertainment of the same class as
the "Siogc of Sebastopol , " which was
presented in Omaha last season , and
under the sumo management.
. Brighton Beach lies between West
Brighton and Manhattan , ana is con
nected with the latter by a railroad
'
about a quarter of u milo'long , over a
small bay. The faro for riding this
short distance is 5 cents , an oxiiorbitant
sum , .
Brighton Beach was in former years
one * of the chief attractions of the
island , but the sea has gruduullv cn-
ciouohcd upon -the J > eneh until last year
itfj rtjrlig found \noccnsary \ to Inove- the

fnllsto "draw tlio crowds that jojico
thronged its vicinity.
An elevated railroad connects this
place with West Brighton , the great
center of attraction for the vast crowd
of.visitor.s. . . . Manhattan and Brighton
are favorite resorts for these of riches
and rqfinod tusto , but the common people
ple prefer West Brighton.
There is nothing like it anywhere
olso'iu the country. Almost every small
city in the east has its resort that claims
to bo ' 'like Coney Island , " but
THE QKXaiNi : COX13Y INLAND
can bo found only ufWest Brighton.
Some people come here to bit the , but
moro come to pass the day among the
other attractions of the nlnco. If you
will imugino the fair nt Omaha with the
fair loft out , but with all the ether at
tractions , such as merry-go-rounds ,
dime museums , beer halls , fakirs , luucli
counters and the like , and multiply
thcso features by fifty , you will have
a fair idea of the attractions of
West Brighton. Hero nro lo
cated some of the largest boor
halls , or "casinos" as they call
them , notably Bauer's , which is as
large ns the Omaha exposition building ,
and Iloivbarg's , nearly as largo. In
Bauer's a comic opera performance is
gfvon. The' admission is free except
for the liquid refreshments you are ex
pected to purchase. Hundreds of
smaller placns exist , at which a cheap
variety porformancd is constantly going
on , and which are all free to all who
may have 6 cents for a glass pf boor.
The hot "Frankfurter" sandwich man
ctln bo soon hero on every corner. The
"frankfurter" is identical with the
Omaha "wionorwurst. "
A mammoth imago of n cow furnishes
ice-cold milk at 5 cants a glass , drawn
by u pretty milkmaid
IN TIIK NATUllAI , M'AY.
The mammoth wooden elephant
towers above the houses , and for 10
cents you may climb up into his inter
ior , which is divided oft into rooms with
appropriate names , as the "oyo room , "
the stomach room , and the like.
Prices are reasonable at West Brigh
ton , and a person may pass a very
pleasant day there ut a total expense of
QOttooxuood $2 , and ho may have a
very fair day's amusomoat for even as
i Httlo us u dollar.
Is' ' The next beach on the Long
Island coast east of Coney Is
land in Rookuwny. It is soniu-
ntod from it by Jamaica bay ,
a largo body of water , which is a favorite -
ito Hailing ground. Eockaway differs
from Coney Island principally in the
fact that there isn't BO much of it. It
' "in rationed from Now York by rail and
bout. Tlio fare is llfty cents. It is the
oldest of Now York's xousldc resorts ,
nnd is very popular with a largo num
ber of patrons. Hero is located tlio
largest hotel in America. In fact It Is
co largo that nobody has boon found
equal to the tusk of running it ut a
nrollt , und there it stands , inn jestlo and
tonnlyn monument to folly. There has
recently boon put forward a Bohomo to
run it n $ a summer homo for poor pco-
Is't plo , nt a rate per head to cover ex
penses , the money to bo furnished by
charitable persons and associations , it
is a good idea ucd will probably bo cur
ried out.
The people met nt Itookawuy nro
much tlio sumo clusti us at West
Brighton , with the exception that loss
of the "tough" element is to bo found
here , it being more of a family icsort.
"Far Kockawuy and Avonuo-by-the-
Bou" are the next t mints upou the coast ,
und here wo find few of the day ox-
cwftioniHts Ironi Now York , the visitors
consisting chielly of pormununt summer
roDldontH. Jt is u delightful place und
boa some pf the finest bench on the
Atlantic const.
Long Boaoh , further up the shore , Is
a still luoro urUtoorutlo resort , us'is
t *
Flro Island , the most easterly of the
Long Island Benches of noto.
State n Island has recently developed
n now report , called South Beach. This
Is thq second season of its popularity
ns a rccognl/cd resort. It is nearer to
the city than any ether sea beach , nnd
the faro is cheaper 20 cents for the
round trip. The beach looks directly
out upon the ocean , but the surf is not
very notlcnablo , na the waters of the
bay break Its force. It reminds mo
more forcibly of Manawa than any
plnco I have soon. The arrangemonta
nro aboiltfen a par

and the surroundings much the samo.
Like Omaha's resort , It is yet crude
and Unfinished and "needs largo Invest
ments to plnco It on an equal footing
with Uocicawuy and ether places of like
character.
Thor ? corta on the Jersey coast nro
well known : Long Branch , the once
fashlQpiblorosort | of Now Yorkers , now
given over to shoddy nrlstocricy and
gamblers ; F.lboron , made sacred to the

Deal Hooch nnd Ocean Beach , nnd Nor-
mundlo. by the sea all ot these places
are within two hours' ride of Now York ,
and tlio expense for n trip from 76
cents to $1.50.
Bowery Bay Bench is a popular resort
opposite llurlom , whore still water
bathing and attractions similar to these
of West Brighton can bo found nt an
expense of"20 cents for the round trip.
Glen Island is a collection ot five
small islands at ; the pntranco to Long
Island sound , which have boon fitted up
by Captain John Sturln , proprietor of
the Star In line of steamboats. Hero
may bo found a menagerie , dancing
pavillion , groves , parks , bathing and
boating , and the faro for the round trip
Is 40 cents.
There are ether places of lessor note
within short distances ol the city , at
equally rojisonalilo'ratos , so that a man
with n very liiriitod income can enjoy
himself in a way that would bo impos-
slblo in Omuhu , nnd go to a different
place once a week during the entire
summer. Steamboats will take you up
the Hudson to West Point and Newburg -
burg and return /or 60 cents ; tlio Erie
railway will givo"you'n ride to Shohola
Glen , ii beautiful snot In Pennsylvania ,
107 miles from Now York , for 31 for the
round trip , or to Greenwood Lake , in
northwestern Now Jersey , lor the same
sum. There is no city in the country
that offura the number and variety of
excursions nt low rates. Boston only
offers t > vo popular resorts Nantaskct
and Nahant Chicago has few chances
for those amusements. A ride on the
lake or ajicnic at some grove is about
the extent. Omaha has Munnwu. Cort-
lamU Beach and Pries lake , but there
are possibilities of great profit to someone
ono who shall discover and equip a resort - '
sort for Omaha people of a character
moro nearly approaching to these of
Now York.
Rain has fallen hero with but little
intormissin for the past ton days , Some
of the Sunday papers contained elaborate
'
ate articles' stating that the present
rainy season was at an end that the
moisture in the atmosphere had been
exhausted , and a further deluge was
impossible. But in spite of thcso as
sertions , the sky is still of a leaden line ,
and the rain continues to fall steadily ,
all Of which provps that the weather
prophets have not yet mastered their
calling.
* H.umidity hassucK an effect .upon the
tolnporaturo in New , York rind other
sea boardvcitles that the thermometer
fails to con voy an aotual idea of the
weather to.tboso accustomed to the dry
bracing aiu of.Nebraska. W.hqn the
thermometer registers 88 ° degress
hero , the actual degrq of
discomfort experienced by the heat is
fully as great sis if'tho mercury were at
109 ° or over in Omaha , and when the
zero point is reached hero it fools much
colder than some of the 20 = to 30 = below -
low ? ere weather I huvot known in
Omaha. New Yorkers wonder how
people in' the northwest stand such
weather , and congratulate themselves
that the mercury rarely goes below zero
hero , not realising that they are expe
riencing greater discomfort than tlioso
they pity.
The climate hero is simply "bonatly , "
to a western man , being made up for
the most part of rain and fog. It , rains
bore all through the winter as well as
summer , and the present year has been
an unusually wet one oven for Now
York. Possibly the victory for the
"wots"in the adjoining states of Penn
sylvania and Ithodo Island has hud
something to do with it.

A FEARFUL VENGEANCE.
How tlio Dontnl Student Got liven
With tlio Gruel Landlady.
Now York Weekly : "Thoro , slrl" exclaimed -
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 duro show your face in
my highly respectable boarding house
ag'in. Tlils house is for decent jjooplo
ns pays their bills , an' you'll never git
your trunk until you pay yours. Be
gone ! "
Passors-by gnrod curiously at the
young man us those words flew into the
ambient air , nnd. with his heart in bin
mouth , his soul bioruod with the iron ol
misfortune , yet his pride unsubdued , ho
muttered :
" 'Tls a long lane tlint has no turniiyr ;
the wheel , of fortune" tfovor stops , and
fcomo day you mav bo in my power as I
um now in yours. "
"Bogonol'1
This was the landlady's only response ,
and it was uttered in tones that startled
even the dro.wsy beetles beneath the
stone stops and the policeman at the
corner. Tlio young man , with a power
ful effort , at self control , choked down
his grief and drugged his weary limbs
away.
For weeks ho had paced the great ,
bustling , heartless city , looking fet
work. Ho had como from n rural vil
lage where ho had boon a dousist's as
sistant , nnd ho hud hoped to find r
place in the metropolis where ho could
earn a living and ultimately attend u
dontul college until JV } should become
muster of his cho&on'fivofossion.
Fortunately his evident distress as he
was turned from the proud lumlhidy'i
door attracted the attention of a busi
ness man in need of a faithful assistant
and the long lane had turned.
Five years nro supposed to have
olapsod.
The on co proud landlady is still attlu

She wears a black bathini ; suit ; she it a

She admits she is not an expert when it
comes to a tussle with the waves , and that
she is a trifle weak for ono so apparently

just a little she can do nicely. Wo promise
and wo repent. I am very much amused at
her distress about getting wet and her fear of

a spasmodic effort to draw her'our inches of

A Httlo tniwatlmn seven months nfjo
Mr. B. Ilummorv , of Lowes , n vlllnpo
Mntno , wna taken ill with chronic
uumtiBtiMiilil hysteria , which sooniod
> effect every nerve in his body. P.'lor
, o his illness his sight luul been bad ,
ind now lie MJcwno totally blind in one
eye , ami grniltmlly began to lose the
power of viston in the other. Uo was
brought hacklrotn Bath n helpless in
valid. For rf nfbnth past ho wna utterly
prostrate , and never loft his bed , nor
could ho well rnlso his body therein
without assistance. Ono day there
came from London n minister who
sometimes preached In the chiipcl which
the sick man was In the habit ol at
tending. Ho had known the patient
for some years , and was well acquainted
with all the circumstances of his illness.
Ho had It suggested to offer n special
imvyor , asking God to restore the sick
nan to health. Upon hla arrival in
Lowes a small party assembled In the
chapel and there prayed that the Giver
of Life would restore their brother to
licnlth once more. The Httlo party
: iad a belief In the unending ofllcacy of
the instructions sot forth in the
'ourtoonth and fifteenth verses
of the fifth chapter of St.
James. The minister mid -five others
proceeded to the sick chamber. Their
friend lay so prostrate and ill that they
scarcely dared to speak to him. Sol
emnly they annotated him by pouring a
few drops of oil on his head and then
laying their hands in turn upon him.
Kneeling then by the bedside , prayer
was once more ollored , when , within
ton minutes of the arrival of the party ,
Mr. Rummory , of his own accord , sat
up In bed , n thing ho had boon unable
to do for weeks. Ho took from his face
the shade which for two months had
covered his oyea , and at once exclaimed :
"I can seel" At first his lingers ap
peared dimly to his vision , then his
oys gradually bo came stronger , and
soon ho recognized the friends around
him. In a short time ho looked from
his window and described tlio view
spread out In the evening light und
backed by the Southdown hills. All
pain had entirely left him. The on
ward progress did not stop hero , for to
the amazement of nil , ho soon after got
out of bod. dressed himself and walked
down stairs unaided. For weeks no
solid food had passed his lips , but upon
getting down stairs , ho became raven
ously hungry and sat down and
thoroughly enjoyed n lioarty moat sup
per. Ho further tested his eyesight
mid roail a chapter from tbo bible be
fore going back to his bed for the
night. Ho enjoyed then what had long
been denied him a night of perfect
rest , free from pain. Next day ho
arose , dressed , walked down stairs
agiiin unaidodcand took n stroll in his
pardon. Afto a few days' change of
air , Mr. Ruramqry proposes to resume
his ordinary . .djUly employment.
In 1808 Li/Jlo'M. Trask , of Vienna ,
wiis dressmukiiicr in Lcwiston , Me. She
came into possdifeion of a gold twenty-
llvo cent pioqpvitli a hole in it. This
she showed asa.curiositv to her friends.
At that time ' { jhQ had a little niece two
years old , diiOghtor of Jonathan P.
Trask , no.v tli'd wife of Loman Butler ,
trader at Mt.VcVnon. The Httlo coin
Liz/io once s'H'dwod ' to her niece , Addio ,
when she waVayery , small girl , tolling
her that she 'would give H to her when
she was old oiipUglj to.tako care of it.
Lizzie dica' wolvo years ago. In her
possession wnsa gdodjady's wallet with
Eovornl cioinpartnipntfi. This wallet her
mother used 'until her death , seven
years' ago. Then James , a brother of
Lizzie , had it , and it has been in con
stant use almost daily over since , either
by him or his wife. The little coin was
never soon after Lizzie's death , or be
fore forsover.il 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 mndo her parents a visit ,
stopping with them several nights.
While there she dreamed she saw her
Aunt Lizzie's wallet , and that it was
faced with green , and in a certain com
partment she found the little gold coin
which she saw so many years ago. On
telling 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 Addio had never seen. She
then visited her uncle and told nor
dream to her aunt , who laughed at the
idea of anything being in it other than
what she and her husband hn.d placed
thoro. BututAddio's earnest solicita
tion she produced it , and as soon ns
Addio saw it sbo , exclaimed : "That is
the same wallet I saw in my dreaml' '
and pointed out the compartment that
hold her treasure. She then took a
noodle and , running 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 her nunt at least twelve yearn be
fore , where it had lain all tnat tiinu ,
and no ono knows how much longer ,
without the knowledge of anyone , until
Addio's dream caused it to bo brought
forth. _

his pipo. It was not there , and its absence -
senco caused him to mnko a terrible
wish. HiB'Wifo reproved him. "Well ,
I don't care , " lie said. ' 'Hero with this
uplifted hand to heaven , 1 pray that my
Creator will paralyze tlio man who has
my pipo. " Before his utterances had
died away Gallagher foil a severe
twitching of the heart and complained
of fooling unwell. A doctor was hastily
dispatched for , and said that ho had re
ceived a stroko-of paralysis. As Gallagher -
ghor was in straitened circumstances it
was deomodftbest to remove him foi
treatment to fthd' ' Homo for the Aged
Poor , cornoi1 of > Scott and Doqiiindro
streets , whioh"was accordingly dono.
Dr. Kaiser , the attending physician
pronounced tho'icaso a critical ono , nnc
death onbuod iiPless than twelve hours
The grief-stricken family were at a loss
to understand hit ) sudden death. Yes
terday , in logging through his clothes
removed at the time of the paralytic
stroke , they wore filled with super
stitious horcwi for in ono o
his outside , pockets was fount
the missing' pluo/j / which had worked Us
way Into the lining. Since tlio occur
once it seems , Its though the family were
nlllloted withtrpublo. Tlio death angel
several days ago took away Patrick's
favorite child'fY married daughter
with several illoro of the children , are
now on the sick list , suffering with a
mysterious malady , which is Imfllintr
the medical fraternity , The neighbor
hood is stirred up by the peculiar utfair
Mrs , D. Y. Griob , the wife of a prominent
inont and wealthy contractor of Chat
nnooga , Tonn. , has been miraculously
cured by a faith doctor , or "chrlstlat
scientist , "as ho culls himself. Mrs.
Grltib , who is an intelligent and culti
vated lady , moving in the host circles
ot booioty , has been suffering with par
tlul paralysis of the spine , having boon
bedridden and unublo to move for nine
months. She is a devout Christian
while her husband is an infldol in bo
llof.
llof.Tho physicians falling to afford her
relict a fuith doctor numud Tucker was
called In , and after the usual laying on
of hands ho read the ninety-Unit Poaln
and the closing chapter of the book of
tlnrk. Immediately after the reading
ho patient joined the "doctor' ' In song ,
and within an hour she wnlkoa across
ho room unaided. She lias boon nbso-
utoly free from pain slnco the mlrnou-
ous euro was effected , and rides about
ho city in her carriage , rapidly rogaln-
ng her health.
The euro 1ms created n profound sen
sation , and especially so ns the husband ,
vho has always boon nn infidel , 1ms
low embraced the cnuso of Christianity
and Is a firm believer.
This is the first euro effected hero by
his strnngo method , nnd tlio doctor is
low kept busy supplying the domnnd
for modlchml scripture. A number of
cures have since been reported , but
lone of pronounced typo. .
The case of Mrs. Grlcb Is n singular
mo nt least nnd oven unbelievers are
breed to acknowledge that a week ngo
she was bod-ridden , with no prospect of
recovery , and now she Is well so far as
mm is concerned , and is rapidly gnln-
ng strength.
Policeman James Kane , of the Four-
.oonth precinct , Brooklyn , sat In the
.olograph room of the Ralph avenue
police station , with his head bowed on
ills arm , winch was supported by the re
lay table. A reporter who entered , the
room asked the ofllcor if anything was
ailing him.
"No , " said Kane ; "but I think I'm
'oing to dlo. I fool that way. You
see , I'm getting old. and as I've '
nut in sixteen years on tlio force , I
Ihlnk death will claim mo before
[ have tlmo to resign. I think the next
time you write anything about mo it
will bn nn obituary notice. Mnko It
nlco , and say that I always did my duty
and was a good olllcor , but don't praise
mo too much , because I don't like that
sort of business. Bo sure that you don't
give any taffy about my saving lives and
that sort of thing. I moan what I say ,
for I think I'm going to dlo. "
Knno proceeded to discuss the fate of
Aeronaut Hogan , and then changed the
subject to prize fighting. But wlion the
newspaper man was about to leave him
ho said :
"Don't forgot 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 houso. Ho
was at once approached by several po
liceman , who said in chorus :
"Kano lias just dropped dond , and
you'd bettor grant his request about
that obituary notice. Ho was stricken
with paralysis this morning.1
The reporter took the matter as a
joke until Police Surgeon Sullivan en
tered the station house a few minutes
later to make out an olllcial report of
Olllcer Kane's death.
A lady who was a widow and whoso
husband" had been defrauded by his
partner , camp down to breakfast one
morning looking strangely disturbed.
Her husband's partner had boon a man
well known in Boston , but at this tir.ie
ho had given up his residence here and
was living in. the state of Muino. It
may bo that his removal had boon 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 ho had do-
fraudcil in the most high-handed fash
ion , although not in ways which made
legal redrcbs possible.
On the morning in question the lady
stated that she had passed a'mo t
troubled night.
"All night , " she said , "I was pursued
by X , who kout declaring that ho wan toil
to make reparation to mo for the wrong
ho had done , and that ho could have no
peace until ho had done so. "
The family made various comments
upon this , none of which were compli
mentary to X. or to the tenderness of
his conscience ; but the dream , if dream
it were , was fixed in their minds and
made , memorable when that afternoon's
papers contained a telegram announc
ing the death of X. on the night boforo.
Leonard Soarborn and Jennie May-
lord , of Now Haven , wore married last
November , nnd on their wedding day
just as they were leaving the church
after the ceremony , they were con
fronted by a collln containing tlio re
mains of a young man who had died of
rheumatism. The bride turned pale ,
and , with many other persons , doomed
it an omen oE bad luck for herself and
her hubband. Scarborn was btrickon
with rheumatism four weeks after his
marriage , and has boon confined to his
bed over since. Ho is now so crippled
and helpless that the doctors say ho
cannot recover. Ho and his wife
attribute all their misfortune to meet
ing that corpse on their marriage day.
Seven years ago Harry Glllespio , of
Franklin , O. , had his foot injured by a
reaping machine so seriously as to
necessitate amputation. The foot was
buried on the farm whore the accident
happened. Saturday afternoon ho felt
severe pains in his foot and was com
pelled to stop work. Monday morning ,
at the suggestion of friends , ho wont to
the grave of his foot and dug it up.
Around the toes of the foot the roots of
a pear tree had become entwined. Mr.
GilloBnlo says ho took thorn up , cleaned
them oil , and reburied thorn , and from
that time the pain ceased.
