It Is now the scene of their labors.

They have spent money there during the winter and spring by the hundreds of thou sands of dollars, and expect during the coming summer to make their fortunes. It seems Incredulous, perhaps, that so much money should bo spent on Coney Island shows, yet an example was' given last Sunday of their money-making powers, Coney Island Will Be Clean Healthful and Respectable This Summer. like something.

Island -which has made fortunes for Its proprietors.

Any sort of an amusement venture will have its merits recognised. Nowhere else in" the world, probably, can there be found so many people bent on pleasure. Those who visit Coney Island now see it In a very different state than It was In last year. Of course, that Is to be expected since Coney has not put on Its company clothes yet, nor has she Invited the people of Brooklyn and Manhattan to call on her thus early in the season. But there is a difference from this time last year.

The little shows of the ball throwing, "Hit the nigger and you get a good cigar," and rifle gallery character don't seem to no' ready to spring Into life. They are overawed by the larger ventures on which hundreds of thousands 6f dollars have been spent. Of course. It is not all likely that the little side show amusements, the fat women arid tho two-headed babies, all that sort of thing, catering to the depraved sense, will shut down this summer.

The plans wre drafted in the Park Department, and the work given out by contract.

Besides the usual row of piles on the outside, there Is a 'brace on each end consisting of another row placed at right angles to the sea line. It forms three sides of a hollow square.

They expect something more exciting at Coney Island. And the Marvel Palace Is so arranged that It Is calculated Other Attractions. The entrance Is by way of a moving sidewalk. The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company has arranged to run cars up through the park, and the tracks will be raised and the grade of the moving sidewalk lowered, so people in entering will pass underneath the trolleys.

In fact, there Is every reason to believe that this season will marTt the beginning of an entirely new sort of Coney Island from the dirty, unsanitary, morally depraved and degrading den which It was a few years ago.

Mr. Roltair says on this subjeot: "You can't draw people by that which is beautiful and artistic any more. You must give them something which will Jar their nerves." What Is This Attraction?

Two Hundred Thousand Electric lights The little city of amusement Is taking on Its plcturesqueness, which will make it a delightful place to spend a summer afternoon. And one can go through It now and Imagine what' it will be like of an evening, when the electric lights are turned on. The wonderful light at the midway in Buffalo will be reproduced at Luna Park, there being more light In proportion to the space than at the Exposition.
