SIX FRESH-AIR FUND PARTIES LEAVE NETWORK
FOR THE OUNTRY
The Tribune Fresh-Air Fund continues to do a rush
ing business. Yesterday six parties Of children left
the city for the following towns Panama, y. Y,
Peeksku, y. Y, Ellington, n. Y, Kennedy, n. Y.
Salisbury, Penn, and Hlghtstown, N. J. The parties
for Ellington and Kennedy went on one train together.
Ellington will entertain slxty-twO children and Ken
nedy thirty-four. The invitations from these two towns
were extended mainly through the efo.ts Ct the Rev.
II. NJ. Burns, a Methodist clergyman. who breaches at
both places. MIR. Burns is an enthusiastic worker in
the cause Of Fresh-Air. His previous circuit was at
Little Valley, ". Y, where during several years lie
found entertainment for large companies Of New-York
children.
The chairman Of the committee at Salisbury, Penn,
is the Rev. John NJ. Evans, of the Reformed Church.
Mr.. Evans came to New-YOrk on Wednesday TO escort
the children on their trip to his place. Yesterday he
made il a special object 70 visit some Of the little ones
in their homes, so as TO be able TO tell his people just
how the benefciaries of The Tribune's Fund live, He
was amazed at what he saw in the tenement-houses
and said that the country people have no conception Oh
how the poor Of New-YOrk City live.
In the salisbury party were two little girls Of Nor
wegian descent. They are little beauties, with Light
blue eyes. silky, Haxen hair and rosy cheeks. Last
summer these two were entertained In Western New
York. The man at whose house they stayed wanted 70
sdOpt them and sent back to New York an offer TO
p~ovide a thousand dollars apiece for the little tots.
In this same party were two other little girls deserv-
ing especia, mention. They come from a family in
which are nine children, there being two sets Of twins
among the nine. Tho latest set arrived in the city
only two weeks ago. Their father has been out Of
work for nine months. The mother washes when she
is able. For some time. SO the mission teacher says
the family have been subsisting or nee and milk.
Their clothing has been furnished by the mission
school. They live In three small rooms, have a bed IN
the kitchen and al night throw down q straw pallet
on the floor on which some of the younger children
sleep. There are not enough chairs about the place
for all 70 st down at one tine, consequently the WASH
bench is called into re~quisitlOn at meal time. Inc
mother IS a delicate woman, but takes good care Of her
little ones-keeping their hair combed and their faces
clean at all times. But all these cares Will be for
gotten. by part Of the family al least, for Salisbury IS
a beautiful country town az the base Of the Aleghenles
