The first meeting of the committee on
the Tribune Fresh Air work was held in
the chapel of the Centre church last Mon
day evening. The work planned by the
committee is to ask friends of the children
to take them into their homes for two
weeks or contribute to a fund which will
pay their board for the same length of
time in homes where they do not feel able
to do it gratuitousy. The railroad fares
of the children are paid and those who
take them in their homes are asked to call
at one of the chapels of the churches for
them and at the expiration of time return
them. The committee hope for sufficient
cooperation to place so in this vicinity.
Anyone wishing to assist in this work is
asked to notify pastors of the various
churches or the following committee: Miss
Lawrence, Unitarian; Mrs. Stearns, Uni
versalist Miss Hemingway, Centre; Mrs.
Minnie Fits, Baptist West Brattleboro !;

DIR. Holton, who returned from St. Louis
Saturday, says there is an inside history of
the st. Louis convention of the platform
adopted and especially the gold plank.
While the credit for its insertion has, to a
great extent, gone elsewhere, it may truth
fully be said that Vermont cast as much if
not more influence in the conventions de-
claring for gold than any other state in the
Union. The gold plank was absolutely
fixed upon as early as June II at a confer
ence at which Senator Proctor was the only
eastern man present. When Vermont cast
its eight votes for Mckinley there arose a
mighty cheer that shook the convention
hall and the Vermont delegates were the
lions of the hour. While in Missouri DIR.
Holton visited his old friend, DR.. Paul
Paquin, formerly of Pasteur's institute in
Paris but now employed by the state board
of health of Missouri. DR.. Paquin is en-
gagged in the manufacture of every descrip-
ton of serum used in the treatment of dis
ease. DIR. Holton brought home some
anti-tuberculin serum for use in the treat
ment of consumption. He viii also have
an apparatus for generating the X-rays as
soon as the apparatus is perfected.
