.Now cared for by the Ninth Wara Relief Association
It Will be seen that ST. Johns Guild covers the
entire twenty-five wards OF Manhattan Island
yet every one OF these 5000 families has been WIS.,
tied by the volunteer corps and found worthy Of
aid. They are each given regularly. upon one day
ties sufficient to last for a week.
WHAT ST. JOHNS GUILD WILL DO.

cornmeal, rice, nominy sugar coffee and tea-will,
when purchased be bought from millOwners and
importers and the saving OF profits IRON middle
men win thus place about ninety per cent more in
food in the homes Of the poor than could be pur-
chased by per CAPITA distribution OF money.
FRAUDULENT CLAIMANTS
upon the bounty OF the benevolent will be con-
stanty exposed as they have been, for at least
posters, who present false addresses, and are to
be rated as among the meanest, most heartIess
and despiCable OF sWnders, for they consume val

most refined and wealthy circles are among the
volunteer visitors of the Guild; but 1t may not be

the services of many additional volunteers Will,
for the next lew weeks, be OF great value. Not

THOSE WHOM THE GUILD HAS SAVED
from restitution and death have not all been
vaeabonds-and the word "vagabond" is used
with reverence-but were those whom the great
storm found strong and full OF hope and promise,
only to be wrecked without word OF warning.

OF the most fashionable and cultured assemblies
