THE BROWN-SEQUARD ELIXIR.

Numerous experiments have already been made
in various parts Of this country with the alleged
elixir discoy ered by Dr.. Brown.Seqnard, and the
reported results far have been generally sue

History will probably repeat itself in the
issue Of the new uprising in Crete. The Turk

wears ago if European diplomacy had not in
tervened with It's intrigues. jealousieS and de-
laws on behalf Of the Sultan. The Instruction

THE COUNTRY AHEAD.

THE receipts Of the Fresh-Air Fund this
season already approximate - 1000. This j.
= recCad which has not been approached in
other seasons. and it furnishes conclusive evil
dence of the growing popularity of this simple
beautiful. and. above all, common-senSe char
ity The berality of our patrons has not
been affected by pressing demands earlier in
The season for the relief Of the JohnStOwn
sufferers. The money has been provided with
an open handed generosity that has aStoniShed
those most familiar with the operations Of the
Fund in preyious seasons The contributions
are a long way in excess Of the receipts Of
other wears at a corresponding period.
The town has made brave effort to keep
mace with the country in loving Kindness
toward the tenement children. If it has failed
TO do so. it is not through any default of its
own generous action but because the enter
tainels in villages and suburbs are inyincible
this year. Not a dollar has remained idle in
the treasury since the seasons operations be-
gan. The children have been sent ont more
rapidly from inst to last than the actual re-
cepts justified; and even while making free
drafts upon future contributions the manager
has been compelled during the last fortnight
TO postpone parties from this year to the next,
and to decline numerous invitations altogether
With receipts OF S19,9l2 40 up to August
10. as many as S,703 children have been sent
into the country. The money has been en-
pended and there are still 300 railway tickets
to be paid for Arrangements for at least
dozen large parties have been abandoned
owing to the state Of the treasury. The hos
pitalty Of the friends Of the Fresh-Air Fund
in the country has been unbounded, and not
withstanding the prompt and lavish generosity
of the financial contributors, it has been I'M
practicable to meet all the calls for children.
While it has been necessary to cmtail the
work Of the Fund and TO deprive many poor
children Of the benefits Of their summer vaca-
ton. THE TRIBUNE has no complaints to offer,
since the record is in every respect salts
factory one The manager during the remain
der Of the season will make effective use OF
such additional contributions as may be re-
ceived. 1t is not yet too late to put color into
the cheeks and pulsatiOns Of health and vigor
into the impoverished blood of the little ones
of the Newly ork and Brooklyn tenements.

ightfu health-gying pilgiimages of the young
travellers will begin once more, with Tiny

The Worlds Fair project is taking on

vided for at the preliminary meeting are ready
for work. Mayor Grant has called meeting
of the Finance Committee for next Tuesday,
and Of the Committee on Site and Buildings
for Thursday of next week. lie rightly re-
CARDS the financial feature Of the enterprise as
at present the most important of all. It is
earnestly to be hoped that all the members Of
these committees will be in attendance on the
days named. There's nothing like striking
while the iron is hot, and though we have no
doubt it will keep hot for long time in this
case, early blows will count for good deal.
