HEALTH AT SLIGO A HEAD
HAPPINESS of 250 Children Co.
ing for a PittanCe.
ANNUAL TRIP IN DANGER
Children of Consumptives Will
Not See Parents Unless
Aid Comes.

Four hundred dollars will give 2j0 chill
dren fortnight's Fresh Air outing in the
country. The case Of these children is
more pitiful than that of almost any other
group Of children to be found In the me-
tropols.
The $50 in question are the little sons
and daughters Of the men and women
patients in the New York City Tubercu-
losis Sanatorium at Otisville, n. Y. There
is n double reason for helping these chill
dren 10 a Fresh Air vacation: They are
poor--the fact that their parents are re-
ceived at Otisville is proof OF that--but In
addition TO this they inherit a tendency
toward the disease which has laid their
parents low, a heritage TO make a strong
man quail In contemplating It. Not only
do they inherit the tendency, but obvious-
ly they have been exposed to infection in
their homes.
Seven years ago the Tribune Fresh Air
Fund. in cooperation with the Uranla So
ciety, Of Ousville. planned way to help
the patients at Otisville and their children
at the same time. II was arranged to
send the children for Fresh Air outings to
Otisvile. \ camp was established where
the children could be entertained for two
weeks thus making II possible for them
TO be where they could see each day the
parents from whom they had long been
separated and az the same time reap the
benefits Of pure air and country life.
Each year since 1905 large number of
these children have been provided for in
fbfa
been cared for, but there remain of the
children Of the patients now in the sana-
torium $50 more, whose need is just as
great and who long for sight Of mothers
or fathers just as deeply.
To give each Of these poor children the
opportunity to breathe for two weeks the
pure air which IS his only chance OF life
and health. to give him chance to see
hIs parents and his parents chance to
see hlm-to give him these things will
cost just 81 so per capita.
This is not a great price for so large a
measure OF health and happiness. Yet
this health and this happiness are about
20 be denied. Contributions to the Tribune
Fund have fallen Off so that II is neces-
sary to stop the summers work at once
unless friepds come TO the funds aid. And
the go little youngsters TO whom this
glimpse Of their loved ones and this op-
portunity for a glorious outing have been
promised will be turned weeping away
when they come with their bags packed
next Saturday ready for the trip.
The physicians In charge Of the sana-
torium at Otisville declare that the visit
Of the children Is a very positive benefit
10 the patients under their charge.

Auburn, ". Y, Aug. 27.-Ben1amin
Martin Wilcox, ex-state Senator ana TOT
many years an "old guard" leader In Al
bany, died late to-day from arterio-scle-
rosis. AS a member Of the old organiza-
ton he was returned as regularly TO the
state Senate as was Serene <. Payne TO
Congress, and II was not until he voted
In the racetrack fight against Governor
Hughes Of whom he was a bitter oppo-
nent, that his political career ended.
The opposition to his attitude on the
racetracl bill was sufficient to deadlock
the Senate district convention and MIR.
Wilcox withdrew his name. His partner
In the coal business, Charles j. Hewitt,
was named and has since represented this
district in the Senate.
Mr.. Wilcox served as Assemblyman from
Cayuga County In 1894 and 1895. He was
the author OF much prison legislation. In
the Senate session of 1899 he, with three
other Republicans, Joined the Democrats
In defeating the bill legislating out OF
uffiisce the Police Board of New York City
and substituting a Police Commissioner.
He had charge of the New York State
exhibit at the Seattle EApoSllloh III iolV'
position secured for him by the late
John Raines
The convention which brought about Mr.
Wllcox's retirement was held In Cortland.
Timothy L. Woodruff. then state chair
man. was present and urged the renom-
ination Of Wilcox in the face Of the bitter
protests of the Church Federation. Mr..
Woodruffs influence at the eleventh hour
accomplished the nomination Of Hewitt.
In the Senate session Of 1906 Mr.. Will
cox was sponsor for the anti-transfer bill,
which provided that in case Of the failure
Of street railway company TO give a
transfer TO passenger the penalty might
be recovered only by suit of the state.
In 1910 there were rumors that Wilcox
would attempt 10 wrest the Senate seat
from Hewitt.

hour tonight, was in fun possession OF
the members of the summer colony The
occasion was a beach party given by Mrs.
oliver II. p. Belmont IN honor Of Miss
Incz Milholland the suffragette leader, of
New York
Mrs. Belmont IS the first to give q pri-
vatc party at the beach, and the novelty
OF the affair brought out a hundred or
more guests. She had taken over the
whole beach and all of its attractions
were open, the -go-rOund, shooting
gallery, etc. proving popular diversions
for the colonists.
The dance hall was used for general
dancing, and at midnight supper was
served in the beach restaurant. Mrs. Bel
mont gave a dinner for thirty at Marble
House prior to the beach party.
The arrangements that were made for
the party at the beach were such as to
make the gathering almost as exclusive
as If it had been given at Marble House.
Awnings had been erected on the board
walk from thc merry -go-round east to
the restaurant building, which shut off
that part of the board walk near the
buildings.
The dance hall looked extremely pretty
in its coat OF green boughs and flowers

his home here. suffering from a physical
breakdown, due to overwork in the last
six weeks. He worked untiringly in the
compilation of a report dealing with the

MarveIs That Are Wrought Through
Synthetic Chemistry.
Nature. we may reflect. has a hard
time in competition with the chemist.
Her slow. laborious processes are one
by one being superseded.
Her most delicate perfumes. which
she dishes to us in drops. are made by
the gallon in the laboratory. The in
finite delicacy of her tints we stimu-
coal tar. We squeeze cellulose prod
uct through tiny hole. and we have
the silk of the silk worm. We trans.
form trees into paper and educate the
world. We initiate the precious stones
which Nature has produced by gigantic
tic forces in upheaval. and the only
difference. as was stated In our courts
recently. is that the artificial product
is more perfect than the real. Now
the chemist takes starch. an unroman-
tic material enough. and makes of 1t
that rubber on which the wheels Of
the world go round.
In the course of his experiments man
acetone. an essential Of our modern
high explosives. Somehow or other all
mans experiments lead ultimately to
the explosive. which again shows how
we reverse processes. for. while Ma
ture begins all her work with an ex-
plosion. man works up to the explo-
sion as the highest expression Of his
