MINGLED Joy AND WOE.
IT'S Day When Fresh Air Homes
Change Young Tenants.
1000 TRAVEL TO AND FRO
Next Forty eight Hours Will
See Small Army on Move
500 of Them Are Girls.

To-day is change day in Fresh Air
II may be said change day is that on
which the parties Of children staying at
the Tribune Fresh Air homes are changed.
1t is a day Of Joy and sadness sadness
for the children who are just finishing
their country vacations, Joy for those who
ale to begin theirs. II Is a day Of mighty
hustle and hustle too.
In the country at the Fresh Air homes
everybody gets up bright and early and
packs mis- bag. Then he gets his farewell
bath and passes inspection. Usually at
the inspection there is a great demand
for shoe laces Country wear and tear
combined with occasional impotence at
refractory knot, play havoc with this
article, and It has to be supplied by the
gross.
In most cases the children get an early
start from the homes. so as to give OPP
portunity for a thorough housekeeping
before the arrival Of the new party. In
some cases the early start is necessary to
bring the vacationists home before night
fall.
IN tne CITY lUcTe Is dlsO iii carly
ing to and fro With the beginning Of
country vacation In Sight the anxious
youngsters who are to go away pass rest
less nights, and are up and clamoring
at the doors OF the teacher who Is
sending them away long before the time
announced for departure. Not infrequent-
~ they arrive at the railroad terminals
an hour or more ahead OF the appointed
time.
Altogether there Will be about 500 chill
dren travelling back and forth between
Tribune homes to-day. and as many more
tomorrow. About 500 Of these will be
girls, the remainder boys
The earliest party to get under way
will be a small one composed Of girls for
Athens. Penn. Shortly after this one
leaves here, at 8 80 o'clock, a party OF
fifty girls will set out for 1nterlaken.
Mass At 80 100 girls will board the
train for Deposit n. Y, while at :55 100
boys will set out for Litchfield, Conn.
Later In the day party OF 100 girls
will take the Sandy Hook route boat for
Atlantic Highlands, whence they will con-
tinue TO the Tribune home at Chapel Hill.
About the same time another party OF
girls will start on a pleasant journey to
Fairfield. Conn. Other small parties will
follow these.
For each party going away there will
be party returning. In each case there
will be an interval Of only three or four
hours during which there will be no chill
dren at the homes In question. It would
be more convenient for the workers at the
various homes T. day were allowed TO
elapse between the departure and the ar
rival of parties, but this would mean that
each home would ne unoccupied for four
days during each Fresh Air season. In
view OF the vast number Of children who
are waiting for a chance TO go away the
officers OF the Tribune Fund cannot bring
themselves 10 allow this waste OF time
from a season too short for the work to
be done.

CALL MARINES FROM CUBA
Guantanamo Force Ordered
Home-U. S. Activity Ceases.
fFrom The Tribune Bureau.I


Washington. July 25.-What In believed
to be the end OF the negro revolution In
Cuba, so far as the United States gov
eminent is concerned, was reached to-
day, when an order was Issued with
drawing the extra marines from the sta
ton at Guantanamo. President Gomez
has made representations to the admin
istration that he is now able to cope with
the situation and that the friendly aid Of
the United States win not be needed fur
Their.
The order issued to-day recalls S66 ma
rines. This leaves about hundred at
the Guantanamo station. the number
regularly stationed there. There have
been no recent outbreaks In the vicinity
Of Guantanamo Bay, and It is thought the
regular quota OF marines Is ample TO meet
any emergency. The returning marines
will be brought back to the United States
on the Ajax and the Prairie.
Officials OF the Department OF State re-
gard the outcome Of the negro insurrec-
ton as a vindication OF President Tafts
attitude For time there was a clamor
for military Intervention from interests
owning property in the disaffected sec
tons, but a review OF the events at all
stages shows that the precautionary forces
sent to the island were sufficient to pro-
tect American interests.

Found Real Reason for Marriage.

Five years later Lady Harriet left her
husband, Il is said because she had dis
covered through a packet OF letters that
her marriage had been merely arranged
by her stepmother In order to Justify
d'orsay's presence in the family. She be-
took herself 10 Paris where she achieved
a considerable success by writing novels
for the Partisan feuilletons.
After the ruin and death of d'Orsay she
married the sixth Earl Cowper's younger
brother, the Hon. Charles Spencer Cow
per, who owned Sandringham, which he
sold to the late King Edward ffty-odd
years ago. Charles Cowper. on becoming
2 widower. married an American, Jessie
Mclean, only daughter of Colonel Gin
ton Mclean, of Newburg-on-the-Hu Hudson.
AS for Lady Blessington and dOrsay,
they continued TO live at Kenslpgton Gore
for the nineteen years following Lord
Blessington's death. in 1880. though ow-
ing TO the refusal Of his wife. Lady Har-
riet, to divorce him he was never able TO
marry her fascinating stepmother. In
ls49 they were overtaken by ruin, thanks
70 their almost insane eXtravagance-an
extravaganza which won for the countess
the name OF 1.-The gorgeous Lady Bless
ington"-and TO escape their creditors
they abandoned Kenslngton Gore to the
bailiffs and sought refuge in Paris.
As both had dono much in the way OF
hospitality for Louis Napoleon during his
long and needy exile in London, they had
some reason 10 expect that they would be
kindly received by him. But he took no
notice Of their arrival, and It was not
until several weeks later that nc sud-
denly found himself face to face with
them at "A reception given in his honor
as Prince President of the republic.
Greeting her coldly, he exclaimed: "Ah.
Lady Blessington! You here? When do
you return 10 London?' To which she re-
piled with true Irish wit: And when do
you return?" An answer which created
intense amusement among all the by
ISLANDERS and utterly disconnected Napo-
leon
Three weeks later she committed sui
cide-a fact not generally known-and
was buried In the family tomb OF Count
dorsay's sister, the Duchesse de Grain
mont at the latter's country seat of
Chambourcy. DOrsay did not survive
her very long, dying very suddenly on
the very day after receiving from Napo-
leon the state appointment Of Director of
Fine Arts.
