Yellow Fever at the south.

evenings since, at Lincoln Hall, in behalf of
the sufferers In Savannah. The expression
Of ympathy was general and earnest. Three
Of our pastors were named as q committee.
They published statement with an appeal
In the papers, naming q central point where
contributions might be left. The subscrip-
t1or have not Jet reached an amount such
as the citizens of Washington would send
for such an object. Mr.. w. W. Corcoran, Sir
Edward Thornton and others have responded

ease into more malignant type. While the
fever was at Its height In 1884 In Charleston,
and for three days and three nights, like
Paul on the Mediterranean, we saw neither

with the fever. After the flood and tempest,

preston, and for the love of the merciful
Christ and our eroaDing humanity, lend
some helping hand. Subscriptions and con-
