ANOTHER FRIEND IS WON
Newspaper Publisher Offers to
Entertain IS Children.
PASTOR STIRS MIDDLEBURY
Vermont Town Ready to Wei
come Thirty Fresh Air Tots,
Who Leave City To- day.

The Fresh Air hosts have made another
conquest. This time 1t is Willis Kilmer,
publisher Of The Binghamton IN. y
Press" who has fallen a victim to their
| Juvenile wiles.
Two weeks ago to-day the largest single
| party Of Fresh Air children sent to any
place this year followed Phoebe Snow TO
Binghamton All told there were 27s Of
them. Mr. Kilmer saw them when they
arrived and also saw something OF the
good time they had been enjoying and the
benefit they had been receiving during the
last two weeks.
The result e his observation was a tele-
gram received at the Tribune fund Office
yesterday. In which Mr.. Kilmer offered to
pay personally all expenses including rail-
road fare. board, caretakers and Incl
dentals for seventy-Hve children IL the
Tribune fund would provide them. The
children have already been selected and
Will be sent to their generous host on
Thursday IL arrangements can be COM
pleted by that time.
This is only another instance OF the i'm
mediate appeal which the Fresh Air tots
make to the sympathies Of all who see
them. A slightly different chain OF circum-
stances led TO an invitation from Middle
bury. Vt.
During the month Of June a New York
/ clergyman whose parish is on the East
Side was invited to make A commencement
address before the graduating class OF Mid
dlebury College. on the Sunday following
tho commencement exercises he was re-
quested 10 speak before the CONGREGATION
Of one Of the churches OF the village. He
did SO. taking as a subject City Phian-
thropies."
Among other forms OF philanthropic en-
terprse the work Of the Tribune Fresh
Air Fund was graphically pictured. Per
hans IL was the fact that the Fresh Air
season was Just beginning; perhaps the
speaker had seen more Of the benehcent
results Of the Fresh Air work and spoke Of
1t somewhat more feelingy than Of the
others. or perhaps It was a sort OF work
" hich Middlebury felt itself qualified for.
At any rate, whatever the reason, the
people Of the place decided 10 expend their
efforts this summer along this line or
philanthropy. so they sent an invitation to
the Tribune fund for thirty children. The
thirty will set out to-day and will const-
tute lnddleburys first Fresh Air party.
In addition 10 the party for the Vermont
college town there will be three parties sent

scattered in twos and threes along thu
