LONG 'BRANCH LOUNGERS.
GEN. ECKERT HAS HIS MUSIC DE
LIVERED BY TELEPHONE.
Mr. George Washington Childs, A. M.,
Makes the Acquaintance of Mrs.
Lily Langtry, Actress— Types of
Summer Character.
From the -Veto York .Sun.
Long Branch, Aug. 30. —Mrs. Langtry
lias captured and monopolized the observa
tion of the Branch. Sbesbcgan a week ago
by hiring one of the two gorgeous villas
owned by Phil Daly, the gambler, who runs
the Pennsylvania Club. Phil built those
bouses several years ago for residences for
liis own and brother's families. Into his own
he put a private chapel, like a miniature
church, with an altar, where his wife, a
pious lady, might say her prayers. The
decorations, as well as the architecture,
were unique and gaudy. Phil lives here this
season on the immense profits of his
gambling establishment, but his brother
has not occupied the other house this year,
and Mrs. Langtry rented it. The price
which she is said to have paid was $ I,OK) for
August and September; and the figure is
reasonable, considering that the premises
are luxuriously furnished. Mrs. Langtry ar
rived like a circus. Her wardrobe and other
belongings tilled twenty-four trunks, and
along with them were nine labelled “F.
Gebhard, New York.” Accompanying her?
Bather. He is not only domiciled "with her
at the Daly villa, but the public rarely sees
her without him. The mutual admiration
and devotiqn of the pair are conspicuous.
They go to Monmouth Park on three
afternoons a week to see Freddy s horses
beaten; they go to the noon " concerts
at the West End, and also there
occasionally drink wane with Larry Jerome
and other fellows; and frequently they
waltz in the hotel parlor, observixl by eager
throngs of men, women and children. The
manner in which the people jostle and
crowd to get a sight of the Lily doesn’t look
polite; and yet. as she is there for exhibi
tion, why should they deny themselves and
her the pleasure of staring? Her acting on
these occasions is as good as anything she
does on the stage. By no gesture or wince
doe* she betray her knowledge that she and
Freddy are not off somewhere in the wilder
ness, with no human eyes on them. She is
self-possessed, calm, and intensely lady
like in deportment. Does the gaze of the
multitude really annoy her? I guess not;
else why does she submit herself to
it? .She goes to bathe where there
is the biggest crowd, which, of course, mul
tiplies as fast as the word spreads that she
is there. In the surf she wears a con
ventional suit of blue flannel, the blouse
coining to her knees, and the trousers puck
ering at her ankles. On these occasions she
shows to good advantage, because her figure
is first rate, except for largo hands and feet,
and her complexion stands daylight and the
ocean’s glare admirably. Discussion of the
question whether she is superlatively beau
tiful waxes warm. My own opinion is that,
while her features are not fine, sho is so
clean, healthy and fair that she may justly
be called very pretty.
Mrs. Langtry has had offers from several
publishers of novels. They desire to put
out stories under her name as authorgps.
Hlie has never tried to write fiction, and
declares that she has no talent in that direc
tion; but that would make no difference,
since the use of her name is all that is
desired. It is understood that a romance is
now being written, and that, if she likes it
in completion, it is to be issued. At present
she is devoting to her theatrical business all
the time that sho spares from diversion.
Her preparations tor the ensuing dramatic
season, however, are not extensive. She
contemplated a magnificent production of
“Antony and Cleopatra,” but has aban
doned the project, presumably because her
great financial success with lighter plays
renders the work and expense unnecssary.
Her leading actor, Charles Coghlan, is here,
and sometimes he accompanies her on the
road and in the surf; but she and Gebhard
are inseparable companions. He introduces
his friends to her without apparent hesita
tion, but the acquaintance in every case
proves casual, and nothing indicates that
she has changed her mind since saying that
she will marry him whenever she gets free
from her husband.
The one gentleman upon whom Mrs. Lang
try has smiled winningly here is none other
than Mr. George Washington Childs. A. M.
But lie is no sentimental rival of Gebhard.
His attentions to the beauty are wholly pla
tonic. She was taken up mid boomed by the
Prince of Wales’ set in London; why
shouldn’t Mr. Childs follow suit? The pre
liminary approaches aro understood to
have been made by the actress. She
intimated to him through an obliging
third person that she wished to attend
divine service last Sunday in the El I Hu
ron Church—the one in which ho has lately
built a Grant memorial window. He placed
a pew at her disposal. Next, she met him
in a hotel parlor, where lie was presented to
her. At the close of this interview she in
vited him to call on her. He did so on the
ensuing day, greatly to the surprise of
neighbors, who lmd put her under social
taboo. Last evening Mrs. Langtry drove
to the Childs villa, and there dined with the
great editor and philanthropist. And yet
some folks wonder what the summer resi
dents at Long Branch find to talk üboufc.
Mr. Childs Is an embodiment of hland,
urbane dignity. To sen him in a group in
a hotel parlor, otherwise composed of
Freddy Gebhardt. Lorry Jerome, Charley
Coghlan and the Langtry, is the spectacle
of a summer. Mr. Childs is equalled in
courtliness by one gentlemen at Long
Branch, and "he is ex-Governor Bedle, of
New Jersey, who is spending the season at
the same hotel where the Childs-Langtry
tableau was seen. Mr. Childs took occasion
to wander to Mr. Bedle’s side.
“Ah, how d’ye do?,’ ho said, shaking the
other’s hand; “let me introduce the Jersey
Governor to the Jersey Lily.
“Thank you—thank you.” and the usually
composed politician almost stammered in
confusion: “I really can’t—friend wait
ing—must go,” and away he went.
It is astonishing how many of the seem
ing pleasure seekers are here for business.
A dapper young fellow,wearing fashionably
good clothes, and lounging idly about the
hotels during the forenoons and evenings, is
never seen at the shore afternoons. He is
then at tlie races. So are thousands of other
chaps. But he lias curious employment
there. Four times in as many years" liavo
the pool sellers mid Ixsikinukers of New
York city lieen swindled by false report* of
the races. Shrewd rascals have tapped
their private wires, forwarded wrong
names, and so led them to pay heavily on
tickets previously bought by con
federates. Nobody lias any sym
pathy for professional gamblers when
they lose, und tiie legal authorities
do not break their necks hurrying to pros
ecute the plotters. This year the turf gam
blers have joined in self-delense. The
mentioned young man is employed to tele
graph in cipher, indc|>ondont of all other
reports, the names of tho winning and
placid horses in every race. Until hi*
secret dispatch is received no money is paid
out. on the tickets in any New York jtool
room, Ho was chosen for the service very
carefully, mid is paid a good salary, for it is
in his power to mislead his joint employers
ruinously; and to further guard against his
falsity, he and his friends depoited $5,000
with u committee, the money to be forfeited
in case he plays a trick. They went to the j
indemnity couipauies to have him bonded, .
fts banks now do with their cashiers, hut ho :
was n guided as extra hazardous,or at least i
off color, and was promptly declined with
out thanks.
The gioesly overworked man is the father
of two marriageable daughters. They are
pretty girls in search of rich husbands, aud
the anxious parent,' a widower, wouldn’t 1
mind getting on afiluont second wife. You
can readily nee how arduous is his dual role, j
Hi- purse kt light and his anxiety heavy. (
He must dress his daughters well aud put |
lkuw into the midst of Baratoga gayvtr. I
imitating if not actually indulging the in
dulgences of wealth, and maintaining social
api earances by desperate expedients. He
must be a gay old beau himself, too, and
altogether he will go home worn out and
unhappy, unless at least one of the three
wins a matrimonial priz;.
Millionaires are hotly hunted here by
me i, “If you won’t print my name with
what I say,” said a very rich "man, known
windy for his public spirit and generosity,
‘I don’t mind telling you that a summer
watering place is a favorite place for chas
ing and capturing capitalists. Nowhore
else is a moneyed man so accessible and
valuable. He has time to listen, he is usually
in good humor, and he is not in his business
condition. A fellow comes along with a
scheme. His errand here is to secure
a financial bao'xer, but ho doesn’t
mention that fact. He shrewdly con
trives to be thrown into the social company
of a millionaire. He chats pleasantly on
a variety of sub ec s. He adroitly
leads to the theme which he has at heart,
hut with such a careless manner that nobody
would supiose him to be especially in
tei ested. His ideas seem spontaneous. He
only becomes engrossed in the topic whan
he sees that his victim is in that condition.
Then he disclo>es his enterprise, putting into
the account all the persuasive eloquence at
his command. Finally he sighs and says:
‘What’s the use*’ Ho hasn’t any money
with which to rea’izc his dream. Then the
millionaire oilers to capitalize tho scheme,
and the job is successfully accomplished.
8 unetiines it is an honest one, and other
times it is a fraud, but the method of catch
ing the capital is about the same.”
Tlie financier gossiped most furiously
about in one hotel is a rich man, who, for
some strange, unknown reason, made up his
mind to practically discountenance the
practice or feeing waiters. He would not
disburse a dime. His waiter waited in
patience for a wook, hut the payday tluit
no longed for never cutne. A second week
passed. The waiter furnished the guest
with slow, cold, bad meals, but did not
bring him to terms. The guest complained
•to the head waiter. The boss of tho dining
room decided that tho waiter must keep at
work, but refused to compel efficiency.
Thence the case was appealed to the land
lord. He bail never before known an in
stance of anybody staying at the hotel two
weeks without feeing a waiter. He thought
it over and at length made two refusals.
He would not shift the waiter to a different
guest, as requested by the waiter, and he
would not assign a different waiter to tho
guest, as requested by the guest. This is a
positive fact.
The spirit of gambling is rampant. The
club houses are jack-o’-lanterns by way of
seductive illumination at right, and the fools
may lose their money at faro, roulette, red
and-blaek, or baccarat as he chooes. The
one thing he cannot often do is to win.
“What are you playing with now?’ is a
reported question asked of a bank clerk, as
he sat at a roulette table.
“I’m in the postage box," he replied,
meaning that he was using the fund inti listed
to him for postal expenses at the bank.
“Next I’ll have to stick my hand into the
contingent drawer."
What a heterogenous multitude it isf
Wealth is as common here as poverty in
Ireland. If you meet a rough-looking old
fellow, whose clothes and manners are uliko
unfashionable, don’t presume to despise him,
for he may be the richo3t man in Oshkosh.
Contrarywise, you must not assume that
the polished dandy beside him is the son of
a millionaire, for he may be a mere heiress
hunter, with his entire fortune invested in
three suits of clothes and a month’s board.
Heiresses are plenty, and there is no
easier place to catch them—to judge
by appearances. One is going by. She is a
beauty too. She sits in a rakish vehicle,
and is driving a rattling trotter. Every
thing about the establishment, from her own
lovely face to the high nose of her horse, is
sightly—except the follow by her side. He
would be quite impossible to her as a lackey,
for she would hire a handsomer man; but
he is a suitor, not hopeless, and surely
tolerated to the extent of being an invited
companion in a morning drive ]>ast the big
hotels, Possibly she has planned to heighten
her own charms by the device of contrast.
The writer was riding in Ocean avenue
past the line of villas, which increase in
number and beauty as tne yeai-s go by. It
was midday, and He had a view of two la
dies waltzing in the parlor of Gen. Thos. T.
Eckert, General Manager of the Western
Union. He fancied that they were casually
practicing some of the frequent new styles
of round dancing. But the rhythmic grace
of their movements was not compatible
with tho seeming lack of music. He looked
again, and saw that one was holding the
receiver of a telephone close to her own and
partner's oar, and that they reversed often
enough to avoid winding themselves up in
the connecting wire. Eater, he was shown
tho other end of the arrangement in a tele
phone directly over the orchestra in the
West End Hotel parlor, where a daily con
cert is given at noon, and dance music is
plaved from 8 to 11 every evening.
The mostdistinguishedbelleat the Branch
this week —with the one tremendous excep
tion of Mrs. Langtry—is from Hartford.
She is pretty, but not wonderfully so; she
has cunning little ways, but so have tlierna
jority of the maidens seen at the seashore;
and she is in no way far above the high
American average of feminine attractive
ness—save in her foot. Those members are
not smaller than No. 4, but they are so
shapely in unimpaired outlines, so fine in
complexion, so utterly free from deformity
or blemish that, although people
mny not go miles to see them,
—as they did the “Mikado" old maid’s el
bow—many go down to the shore at bnthiug
time to admire them. They are famous.
Lida is the only girl at her hotel who goes
into the surf without slippers and stockings.
Her modest suit covers her ankles, but tier
handsome feet are bare. Nearly every year
there comes an actress to Long Branch, who
distances all unprofessional competition at
the bench, hut this time tho little barefoot
from Hartford is without rivalry, and that,
too, without any sacrifice of the proprieties.
AN IMPORTANT CASK.
Involving: the Legality of the Payment
of Confederate Money.
A Parkersburg (VV. Va.) special say*: An
important question involving tho validity
aud legality of tho payment of Confederate
money on notes given in settlement for a
large and valuable tract of land, is being
heard before United States Judge John J.
Jackson. In 1800 Iliram L. Opio, father of
tlie plaintiff', lived in Jefferson county. He
sold a farm to a gentlemen named Castle
nmn for *40,(810. of which SIO,OOO was paid
in cash, tho balance to bo paid iu equal an
nual installment*, the last payment fulling
due in 1804. Shortly alter the snlo Opie
moved to Htuuutou, Va., and then died. His
wife and a son, Dr. Thomas Opie, were
made executors under the will. After tlie
war broke out, it is alleged that Cast Ir man
secured a large amount of Confederate
money, and, going through tho lines, iciid
off tlie notes of *5,000 ouch due iu 1801 and
I Hi;;; with this money, which had greatly de
preciated in value. Before the remaining
notes fell due, it is alleged that Mrs. Opie
notified Cuxtlcman that she would not uc
cent Confederate money, but that, she
would take notes on any of the Virginia
banks.
Caatleman then, it is said, secured enough
Virginia money, which wa also greatlv de
preciated. and paid the remainder of the
notes. Hiram L. Opie. Jr., now claims aji
interest in the land for the amount of the
debt valid in Virglnaia and Confederate
money, claiming that this money was il
higal and worthless, and that the executrix
and executor committed a waste when by
the terms of tho contract the debt wo* to l>e
paid in good and lawful money of tho United
States.
Tlie defendants insist that tho payment
was legal iiuder the circumstance*. Judge
Jackson ha* taken the matter under advise

PRAYER DID IT
Carrie C. Webb's Story of Her Faith
Cure.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Miss Carrie C. Webb, whose remarkable
cure by prayer was announced a few days
ago in a dispatch from North port, L. 1.,
lives at 41(1 Gold street, in this city. She
is 38 years old, of slender form, with large
gray eyes and an abundance of dark brawn
black hair. In relating her experience she
is earnest and composed in manner and con
vinces her hearers that she really bolioves a
more than human agency was interested in
her tiehnlf. Miss Webb is well known in
Brooklyn. For several yeurs she bus been
a teacher in the Hanson place Baptist
Church. Her father is a deacon in the Bed
ford avenue Church, of which the Kev.
Hiram Hutchins, who is reported also to
have worked faith cures, is pastor. Her
brother, the Itev. Tomas M. Webb, through
whom Miss "Webb was led to attempt a faith
cure, has been a clergyman for many years
and is a man well along in life. He is the
oldest of nine children, of whom Miss
Carrie is the youngest. Deacon Webb s
large family have bean brought up relig
iously and, according to the prevailing
opinion of those who lxdiove a cure of
physical ills by prayer is possible. Pastor
Webb and Miss Carrie have the capabilities
for faith necessary to the success of the ap
peal for divine interposition. In relating
the circumstance of the alleged miraculous
cure to a reporter last night, Miss Carrie
said that she was sorry on some accounts
that there had l>een anything published
about borease. “I do not like the publicity,"
she said. “There are so many that will
only ridicule tho deed aud all connected
with It. But I suppose it may do some
good, however, to have tho facts known, as
some person afflicted as I was may chance
to road them and believe that what was
possible with me may be possible with them.
I had been in declining health for seven
years. I had suffered during this time
with bronchitis and had a painful cough.
My general health began to be sadly affected.
Finally I was obliged to give up all work.
My mind had shared in the decline of my
health. I was not really Insane, but I had
strange and uncontrollable fancies. I am
naturally of a cheerful and lively disposition,
and when I became so morbid and despond
ent that nothing would rouse me my friends
feared that I was going, yielding to some
fatal disease. To add to my ills last
winter I had neuralgia, which served still
further to reduce my general health mid
aggravate my other troubles. I offered
prayed that I might die. as I was of no use
to myself or to anyone else. Finally, about
two months ago, f went to Northport, where
my brother lived, in the hopes that a change
of scene would do me good. My father and
sister came to the railroad station to see me
off and I saw tears in my father's eyes. 1
asked my sister if he wiis crying for me.
Khe said he was, and I thought that if his
tears could not bring me back to myself
nothing could. But there was a cure await
ing me more powerful than a father’s love.
At Northport I went first to stay with my
cousin, as there were visitors at my
brother’s house. Here for a month my
health continued to decline. My cousin
thought I was sleeping as I lav for hours on
the lounge with a handkerchief over my
face. But I was always wide awake and
my thoughts were running riot while I felt
too weak and weary to bestir myself to get
away from them. My mind would fasten
itself on one subject and l could not rid my
self of it. My cousin and my aunt, with
whom I stayed later, feared for my life.
A doctor was called iu, but did me no more
good than the other doctors who had at
tended me. When I went to my brother’s
house I had not hoard a word about the
two persons whom he had anointed with
oil. One of these was a woman who had
pneumonia and was not expected to live.
She was well the (lay after tlie anointing.
The other case was equally successful. As
I said, I did not know that my brother had
worked any faith cures, and tho first time I
thought on the subject of such treatment
was when I lay in his library one day. I
glanced from the lounge to a row of books
and my eye lighted on the title of ona
volume. It was a book on faith cure. I
took it down and road from it. It referred
to James v., 14. where it says that the prayer
of faith shall save the sick and directs that
the afflicted person shall call for the elders
of the church aud that they shall pray over
him and anoint him with oil in the name of
the Lord. I did not apply the idea of a faith
cure to my own case then, though I was
impressed with the remarkable nature of
the fact recorded in the book. I thought
over the fact that the verse in .Jamas was
written after Christ had ascended into
heaven, and that it therefore applied to tho
time when he was not on the earth in
person and was applicable as much to the
present as to any time.
“That very afternoon luy brother came to
me and said, ‘Carrie, I wish to see you for a
moment alone in the library.’ Ever since I
had been to visit him this time I had felt a
strange fear of him and I felt at that
moment afraid that ho intended to correct
me for my seeming indolence. I wont into
the library with him and he turned to me
aud said: ‘Carrie, have yon ever thought
of faith cure?’ I told him of the event of
the day, but said I had never thought that
it would do for me. I said I was not good
enough—had not sufficient faith— to re
ceive such a blessing from the , Lord. Ho
argued with me and I said I would think it
over. I road the book on faith cure. It
said that sickness came from Baton and not
from the Lord, ft was often due to some
thoughtless acts of our own, such as expos
ing ourselves to colds by going to dances
and card parties, perhaps. Then I thought,
did my illness como from any such cause?
I came to see that I had aggravated ray
troubles by worrying aud praying to die,
instead of "trusting in the Lord’s mercy, anil
I decided that the book told tho truth. Cn
the third day after our talk I went to my
brother and told him I wan ready to tie
anointed. I thought of the wonderful case
of Miss Hutchins, the daughter of Pastor
Hutchins, of the Bedford avenue Church,
who, after being bedridden for six years,
was suddenly restored to strength by pravor
two wars ago, and I beyan to have faith.
My brother sent for the Presbyterian
minister, and when he had arrived we went
into tlie library. Tho service was very im
pressive and I wept all the time it was
going on. I did not fed any better the next,
day, and expressed a doubt to my brother
that the mere pouring of sweet oil on my
head would do me any good. He, however,
said it was like baptism and tho oil was
only a symbol. However, 1 continued to
grow worse. At. family prayers when we
ull prayed aloud I continued to ask that
‘the cloud’ is; lifted from my life. My
brother upbraided mo for this as he said it
was not right to the Lord, as ho could see
that I bad improved every duy since the
anointing It was was just one week after
the anointing that I awoke one morning in
unusual pain and I pray tv I Gol to let me
die. Then on a sudden'l begun to think
that God would not give me dontli before
his desired r,inn> and that it would be more
projier to ask for health. fjo I left my lsxl
und knelt down and prayed. It was 0
o’clock when I began. I prayed and cried
until 12 o'clock. My brother in the mean
while had called me, but I had answered
that I was too tired to com" down. At 13
o’clock I got up from my knees and as I
stood erect 1 felt a sensation of strength and
health such as I had not known for year*. I
felt well. All my pains lmd gon ; and my
mind neemod cleared of uli its troubles. I
I,listened out of the room and a* 1 passed tho
housekeeper's room I saw her on ner knees,
(She wan in tears and 1 asked her what wo*
the matter. Bbe raid she had hopn praying
for me ami then I told her of my rcutora
tion to health. The cure wat genuine und
complete, for I have been five from all my
physical and mental troubles since thut
morniug prayer.”

“The United States Leads the World
in the Art of Mamifac
turing Pianos.”
The piano, after more than a century anil
a half after It* Invention, haa become the
loading instrument of music throughout
Christendom. Thero are at least fifty
thousand men employed in their manufac
ture, and a many as a hundred thousand
are made every year. An average piano
require* one hundred and twenty day* pf
labor to complete it—a slow and tiresome
process for the work of one man's hands,
hut in Germany they are still so made.
Although the United Stutos now turns out
many thousand pianos a year, fifty-five
years ago scarcely fifty wore made, annually.
Almost every household now regards a
piano as essential to happiness; for we have
long since passed the age of simplicity of
our forefathers, and the ago of luxury has
fairly set in—and we rejoice that it is so.
What a wide field is upon for the manu
facturer, and what inducements to carry
improvements of the piunn to the highest
state of perfection. The variableness of our
climate renders it of the iirst importance
that our pianos should lie made in the moat
thorough and substantial manner, and we
certainly can claim that our American
pianos lira the best in the world.—Musical
World.
The question of the superiority of Ameri
can pianos over those of foreign make is
indisputably settled and needs no discussion,
while in prices tho odds are likewise largely
in our favor.
For demonstration call and examine the
line of American Uprights we oll'or at $2lO,
$225 and $260.
They Cannot bo Matched at the
Price in this or any
other World.
