Standing neck-deep in the ocean on j the Jersey coast, at a place called As j bury Park, a few days ago, a Butler man made the acquaintance of a large heartv-looking man who said he was in the water for his health; that a few years ago he fell from a heighth of :J5 feet, was picked tip for dead, that his nerves were shattered, and that the only thing that did him any good was getting into salt water—and he was en joying his medicine as much as any [ body. \V'e believe there is no better neve I tonic in the world than salt water, but to fully appreciate it aud secure its benefits one must go to a part of the coast where you can. with safety, go outside the surf or breakers and stand or swim in the water. The beach at [ Aabnry or Ocean Grove secures these conditions. It is comparatively steep. | the surf oreaks against it. and outside ' of that there is a table of sand four to six feet below the level of the water where one can stand, or hold on the ropes stretched across it. Hundreds of people go into the water there every day and you never hear of anyone be | ing drowned. The ropes and watchers | make it absolutely safe. There are three pavilions j there built out over the sea | with music every afternoon I and evening: half a dozen bathing j places, provision made for care ol | valuables; and every thing else that | goes with a respectable resort. \or. meet none bat respectable people there both places ire Groveparticu 1 irly soi no liquor is sold in either town the sale of liquor on any lot in Asbury forfeiting the title •• nd you can secure ex cellent boarding at from £s to - per. week Fish, fresh from the water, are liable to appear on your table at even* meal, the salt water and cool air give you an appetite tor thein and if you stay tnere a week you will likely eat more fish than you will all the ri st ov th»* Y,M: The Blue lish and iSpanisb mack erel are particularly tine Tiie main streets of Asbury widen as they approach the beach, so that from a porch two or three squares from it one has a'full view of the ocean, aud ..>••• i>r >i> steamers -if the coast trade .re always in sight. The place is >n- of the lines of tin P. ft. R and reached by trains from Broad St. sta tion Philadelphia, or you can j <o to New York and have your choice of two lines of railroad and two of lx>ats and trolley. That part of the coast from Long Branch to Sea Girt is almost one continuous town - including Long Branch, Hollywood, Elberon, (where Garfield died) Allenhnrst. Asbury Park, Ocean Grove. Belmar, Spring Lake, Corno and several other places, all connected by a trolley. Its the part of the coast used by the best people of New York and Brooklyn and vicinity for their summer outing, and it is as far ahead of such places as Coney Island and Atlantic City as day is ahead of night. Ocean Grove is something of a curi osity. It is a wilderness of hotels and cottages, and tents on platforms, (part of which are in a grove of tall slim oak trees) with a frame Auditorum that seats ten thousand people, and several frame churches and meeting places. Asbnry Park has one brick and stone street; its streets are wider and prettier than those of the Grove it has a belt line.of street railroad,bicycle tracks,sail ing yachts and all the catch penny de vices usually found at seaside resorts, such as merry-go rounds, roily coasters etc. Both places have the same board walk and railroad station, bnt on Sun day all trains stop outside the town limits. At the beach 25 cents pays for the use of a bathing suit,'room for undressing and the checking of valuables—the usual bathing hours being 11 A. M. and 4P. M. During the hot weather of last week people who sat in the pa vilions after dark, listening to the music, wore their winter clothing with comfort, bnt during the day the sun was .-just as hot there as here. Comparatively few people of Pitts hurg and vicinity know any thing about this part of the sea coast, but more would know something about it. and be enabled to enjoy it, if the P. R. H. Co.. would include it in their summer ex cursion rates. Oil. NOTES. The market —Monday HOc, Tuesday 7i) Wednesday 77, today 77. Beunei & Co.

A MODEL MANUFACTURING CITY ABOUT TO BE ES TABLISHED. ESSEN ON THE MONONGAHELA, In Rostraver Township, Westmoreland Co., Pa., on the Banks of the Isleiand less River, with Cold Fields on Every Hand and within the Pittsburg Freight Zone. There is' Every Incentive to Phenomenal Growth and Develop ment. One of the first fruits of returning pros perity in the United States is to be Monessen. It is to be the model manu facturing town of the great valley of the Monongahela. The name is formed by a combination of the first syllable of Monongahela with the name of the famous Prussian manufacturing town in the province of the Rhine. The com bination is not only euphonious, but carries a meaning Essen 011 the Mo nongahela. The site of Monessen is on the East bank of the Monongahela river. It is in Rostraver township, the most fertile portion ot Westmoreland county. Pa The new town lies between the old bor ongh of Bellevernonand the city of Mo nongahela. being somewhat nearer to the first named place As the crow fii .- it 1- but twenty five miles from Pittsburg. This brings it within the freight zone known as the Pittsburg limit and insures all the advantages in the tariff of freight charges that are in joy d by business men in Pittsburg it seif. is being promoted by what is known as the East Side Land Com pany whose -ty f'tflce is at No. 335 Fourth avenue.Pittsburg The person nel of the company is as follows- Pres ?d'-ut George O. Morgan , treasurer. Col .lames M. Schoonmaker. secretary. George 13. Motheral; manager, M. .1 Alexander Among the large stock holders are II Sellers McKee, the mov- 1 ing spirit in the establishment of the town of Jeannette. founded in 1888 and now with a population of * ooo ; Col. James M. Schoonmaker. vice-president of the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Rail road Company; Judge James A. Reed president of the Pittsburg, Bessemei' and Lake Erie Railroad Company, and P. C. Knox, member of the firm of Knox & Reed, distinguished as among the foremost attorneys in Pittsburg. Indued it may be confideutlv said of the East Side Company that no town pro ject was ever undertaken in Western Pennsylvania by such a number of gentleman well known to the business world, thus assuring not only a pro gressive spirit, but capable and con servative management. Two of tnem are the executive heads of two large railroad systems and another the most extensive manufacturer of window and blown glassware in the United States. The direct management of the details of the establishment of Monessen will be in charge of Mr. M. J. Alexande., whose successful direction of the de velopment of the towns of Jeanette and Charleroi made each of them in its turn the most noteworthy example of town building in the country. It is frequent lv said of both places that no original buyer of lots failed of an opportunity for a handsome profit or in his pay ments. The site is an ideal one for manufac turing; also,high and healthy for dwell ings. The Pittsburg & Lake Erie Rail road traverses the town, and on the op posite bank of the river is the Pennsyl vania Railroad, and now a free river washes the town. There will be Water Works, a Na tional Bank, Electric Light, Sewers and Pavements. The great Pittsburg seam of coal sur rounds the town. As houses will be needed faster than they can be erected, a guarantee will be given to pay liberal rent to investors for a term of years, who will at once erect dwelling houses to shelter five hundred men who will be needed in a large factory now being erected.
