 CoNEY ISLAND, N. T., Aug. 11th, 1879.
 The great metropolis, like the rest of the world, is enjoying spell of the dog days. Fifth avenue is a desolate lot of locked, barred, and blank-windowed houses, and even busy Broadway roars in in modified. limp sort of a way. Society is spending money at seashore and Coney Island is the great attraction for the New Workers at present. Chicago has been said to be the model of thrift and enter prise in this country, but I wonder if -Coney Island is not entitled to rival claim. Take Fairmont Park, with it's outlook, gay buildings, railways, merry G: 0 gds, mus ic, lunch stands and flying banners. place it on the sea-coast, with the surf beating up upon long stretches of golden sands, with glistening sails in the offing, and you have a better idea of the place than columns of newspaper letters could give. Take the circumstances of the place. A long island, only separated d brought by the improved means of trans portation within an hours ride of New York; the promoters of it's success have gone to work in way that Is sure to be substantial. Several companies have built narrow-gage railroads communicat- ing with Gotham, running to the Brighton Beach and Manhattan Hotels respectively. The same corporations that have built the railways have also erected the hotels. Each house has connected with it large bathing facilities, the largest on the coast; restaurants and resorts wherein bands of music play all day, and i'll front of each music-stand on the most inn proved plans, fan-shaped acting as sound- ing boards, increasing the power of the orchestra. and deepening the yolumns of sound. Here large and complete com panies play every afternoon from four to half-past five, and evening from seven to nine o'clock. A marine railway connects the two hotels less than half a mile apart.

Rosy Lee.
Bx ELvIN BLAIR.

They made her 8 grave
 In wildwood dell, Where the buttercups grew
 And rose leaves fell grave too dark and cold by far
 For form young and fair, With face bewreathed with the smile of heaven A glint of the slln in her hair. Too soon her spirit had left its clay
 For fairer place than earth Alasi that youth should dim with age,
 The future end in death Thou art passed away. sweet Rosy Lee,
 Beyond the summer land, To the sacred spot we love to read
 Where angels silent stand. Thou vert the pride of the little band
 Who stand beside thy grave brother and sisters love you shared
 And him who died to save The home-our home, upon the hill,
 When rebel horles marched down And we had need to fear our lives
 With battle before the town. But you were firm and thought of him
 Wh" vowed his lie to save. His country and your honor.
 Or else nameless grave. How well he fought and nobly too.
 History tells us OCT and OCT; And when hesfell your heart was broke,
 So you fingered unto death door. Patient girl, with broken heart,
 The roses may wther and tade- You sleep-and around you daisies wave
 In the quiet of your new-made grave. We shall not know till the tramp of death
 How much or how little you fearod The face ol the lover bent low to greet you
 AS the footstool of heaven you neared. We only know that fields are green And the western sun lights up the mead Where the tinkling bells sound sweetly back From where the cow-herds feed. The rose leaves fall, the buttercup gllnts | Upon the turf, and daisies wave To the soft. warm breeze that requiem sings l Over sweet Rosy's grave. No more the warm flush on your cheek, No more the sinle-the girlish shout AS when We viewed with laughing eyes
 The river scene that strolled about Through distant hills and dales
 Thou art dead! We've lost to view Our world-our darling idol The gentle sister, kind and true.

The coincidence" Game.

A couple of sharpers who had been
swindling the unsophisticatedh ereabonts
for few days found their operations
Friday, ON account of the summary
descent of the sheriff upon them; and af-
ter disgorging some of their ill-gotten
gains they found it polite to flee to pas
lures new''-and greener. Their game
was the familiar prize package" one,
and their field of operation was princi-
pally with the intelligent immigrant from
Pike, en- route for the west with his
wealth III wagon, 10 whom they pre-
scnted the seductive opportunity OF doub-
ling his money by picking out the pack
age containing bill of large denomina-
ton, with the invariable result of his OBJ
tanning u small cake oftOilet soap. They
travelled separately-one on pony, IN
Producing the game, while the other, with
horse and buggy, rode up just in the nick
of time TO encourage the negotiations as
IA disinterested party. 4 man named By
ford, moving to Chase county from near
Lawrence, and encamped at Wells ford
on Thursday night, was victimiZed to
the extent of twenty dollars. Coming to
town he informed the city marshal. who
had been watching them for some days
as suspicious characters, and yesterday
officers Moon and Nichols started in
pursuit of them, overtaking the pair at
Oliver Phillips on Duck creek. When
brought back to EmpOria they refunded
the twenty dollars, settled the livery bills
they had incurred, and then, there being
no complaint or prosecution, they were
released, and quietly skipped out"
They seemed to regard their arrest with
the greatest indifference, the leader with
| the utmost noncholance explaining to
the sheriff all of the mysteries OF his
game he cared to reveal, at the same time
politely requesting our reporter to ''givt
him a fiowery send-off." But little sym
pathy was felt for those who allowed
themselves to be bitten by this precious
pair, as the moral status of the partici
pants on either side seems to be about
the same, the only difference being tina
one got the money and the other wanted
to-but didn't.

Obituary.

Mrs. HANNAH /. WATSON, consort
of Judge Watson of this city. was born
in Quakertown, Penn, July 23d, 1904.
Her parents, Shipley and Margaret Les
ter, were progressive" Friends. She
was united in marriage TO her now be-
reaved husband, June 5, 1929, and en-
igrated with him 10 Ohio in 1880 Here
they lived and proSpcred till Semptem-
Der, 1853, when they came to this city.
They came TO Kansas for the sole pur-
pose of securing homes for their child
rem. But one of them was married at
that time. Since they came to Emporia
three others have married and settled in
the immediate vicinity. So that Mrs.
Watson, in her last illness, had the con-
slant and tender care of her own loved
ones. She had lived largely for them,
and they sought TO repay her for former
care and council by giving every atten-
ton in their power, while she commended
with 1.-The last enemy" There are TWEEN
ty-nine persons represented in the fami-
ly But two of them, grand children,
preceded her to the spirit world She
was the first TO be buried from her own
house
Mrs Watson was not vigorous physi-
cally, but she had a tenacity for life
which enabled her TO endure for nearly
seventy-five years. 1t is possible that
she might have lived longer, but for the
injuries she received from a fall on the
l 18th ult. She suffered much but pa
tiently during the last two weeks of her
life.
She was noted for her liberality in
word and deed. Somewhat decided and
independent in her own convictions con-
cenrning religious questions, but never
selfish. She asked only for correct
life. She was liberal almost to a fault.
She was always ready to feed the hung
~, clothe the naked and minister to the
suffering. Never turned any away from
her door because of color, creed, or pre-
vious condition. For this and many
other reasons, she was much respected
by the community, and very large con.
course of people followed her remains to
the cemetery. r.

There is another lodge of the Ancient
Order of United Workmen being organ
lied here. There are already forty names
on the petition, all good men, and still
they come. This new lodge is just the
same in every particular as the old one
which has been running so successful for
the past nineteen months, and which has
now nearly one hundred members.
Charter members can join this new lodge
for seven dollars, but after the petition
is closed, which will be in few days,
it will cost twelve dollars, the same as it
will to join the old lodge. Hand in your
name to E. Beck, at Sam Halls grocery,
and have it put on the list before'it is
closed. The new lodge will be organized
about the 10th of April. This organiza-
iion has proved itself grand success,
both as an insurance and as a social or
ganization. 1t is growing rapidly all
over the country, and the fact that nenr-
ly all the regular life insurance agents
belong to il, ought to be something of q
recommendation. There seems TO be no
excuse for any man neglectlng to have
his life insured when it can be done as
cheaply as this order furnishes il.
