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 meat. The attorneys of the State* of Vir ginia and Wist Virginia look upon the not t lenient of the case as of great Importance, involving an it may the ownership of vast and valuable trad* of land and other prop erty is different neOioai of the South- THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 24, 1887. 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.

IHrais, “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. 1 & B. S. M. H.
