others are entitled to these supplies,
ana no person should recommend any
persons to be recipients of those sun
plies unless they be sufferers Inv the
fire. "
Every person in Chicago, male or
female. in want of employment can oct
1t, without fee, by applying to the labor
committees. Every person who suffered
by the fire. and in need of supplies, can
get them bv leaving their names and
residence with the proper committee.
The receipt of supplies from abroad
will necessarily be reduced every day,
and in the meantime the contributions
of money will be held sacred until ne
cessary to be used to purchase food.
fuel, clothing, and shelter. The neces-
slty for careful distribution will be
obvious, when it is remembered that
the winter is close at hand.
10 the generous people all over the
land we send the assurance that the
supplies they have sent or may send
shall be judiciously distributed among
the suffering victims, and that the
money they have sent or may send will
be used economically for the sacred OBJ
ject for which it was intended. By far
the larger part of the sufferers are aided
times as they can take care of them
selves. These, the most des erving class
of all the sufferers, have not been seen
| at the supply depots, and are struggling
with scanty food and little clothing un-
| til they can get something of their own.
These people should be encouraged to
make themselves known, and such aid
extended as will tighten their tempo
| rary wants.
The Mayor and the Aid Society have
laborious task before them. They de.
serve the public thanks for their inter
ference, and the public appeal TO them,
in behalf of the suffering, to vigorously
exclude every form of irresponsible ac-
ton by any person holding official 20
sition, or otherwise, in the management
of this great work for the care and sup
port of the poor. .s
