New ORLEANS, Sept. ITO the friends of the
sick and destitute of New Orleans: In the

from Representatives Gibon and Ellis, intended
to explain the working of the three leading
| beneficiary organizations for the rehef OF the
destitute sick from yellow fever through the
| Howard Association the Peabody Subsistence
association the Y. NJ. @. A., in which our associa-
ton Is said to be engaged in looking up cases OF
| sickness and restitution, and reporting them
| to the Howard and Peabody Associations Tor
| relief. The facts these: On the ZOth OF
August our association resolved itself into a
| relief committee TO help and administer to the
| sick and destitute from yellow fever. On tue
| ODD we opened, and from that time have taken
charge of and cared for entirely, over SOO cases
| of yellow fever, without regard to race color
or nationality; furnishing physicians, who have
| generously volunteered. nurses, medicine, 1000
and money when needed. Our working force OF
visitors to the sick is full and efficiently organ
/ lied. Weare in full sympathy and cordially ope-
| rate with the Howard and Peabody Associations
| but an independent and responsible Or
| ganization for the dispensing OF goods com
| mitted to our hands, We have thus Tar done
| our work efficiently economically and faithful
! ly and shall continue 10 do 1t. Our resources
| are limited--not at all in proportion to the
| work IMPOSED on us by the sickness and desti-
tuition that we are called upon to relieve and
which is daily occurring. We ask the FULLEST
recognition throughout the country as an etfec-
| tive channel through which 1he benevolence OF
the charitable be- dispensed. Signed VIM

Foar nurses in the employ Of the board have
died and four Others are sick j. 3. Cook. ar
chitect. and Dr. d. ID. Saunders are down with
| the fever. Rev. C. @. Parsons. rector of Grace
Episcopal church died last night; also Mrs.

/ W. Gates. Miss Mollie Gates is down with the
fever The physicians and nurses from Wash
| ineton reported for duty to the Howard
/ citation this morning. There is a pressing need
| for experienced nurses; $40 per day have been
vainly offered for nurses and many sick lie IN
| their rooms without proper attention, owing to
the inability of the relief associations to sup
| ply many calls for nurses. Although there are
many negroes in the city, few can be persuaded
| to wait upon or even approach sick person,
| while majority of those offering as nurses for
| the big pay offered are inefficient. Fifty four
deaths are reported up to noon to-day and lO3
| for the twenty four hours ending at noon.

BETTER THAN NONE.
PHILADELPHIA Sept. 7.-Several members Of
the yellow fever fund committee asserted that
their action in declining to allow theatrical
performances TO take place under the auspices
Of the committee has been misinterpreted.
The position the committee took was that il
did not wish to take the care or responsibility
of tickets Tor entertainments. If anybody
is disposed to unite in the good work by giving
theatrical entertainments the committee will
be thankful. but it was not deemed
prudent to interfere in the matter
of entertainments. Hose EFtenge received
u telegram from the secretary To the New York
yellow fever committee saying as the Phil
adeiphia committee are unwilling TO accept
contributions for the benefit of yellow fever
sufferers. from play people, and them to us,
and we will most oheerfnlly disburse them for
such charity in accordance with your instruc-
tions"
