The following explains itself:
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. ITO the friends of the
sick and destitute Of New Orleans: In the
Washington dispatches to-day, we find a card
from Representatives Gibon and Ellis, intended
to explain the working of the three leading
beneficiary organizations for the relief of the
destitute sick from yellow fever through the
Howard Association, the Peabody Subsistence
association, the Y. NJ. G. A., in which our assoca-
ton is said to be engaged in looking up cases of
sickness and restitution, and reporting them
to the Howard and Peabody Associations for
relief. The facts are these: On the Goth OF
August our association resolved itself into a
| relief committee to help and administer to the
sick and destitute from yellow fever. On the
22d we opened, and from that time have taken
charge of, and cared for entirely, over 800 cases
Of yellow fever, without regard to race, color
or nationality; furnishing physicians, who have
generously volunteered, nurses, medicine, food
and money when needed. Our working force of
visitors to the sick is full and efficiently organ
lied. We are in full sympathy and cordially ope-
rate with the Howard and Peabody Associations,
but we are an independent and responsible or
ganization for the dispensing of goods COM
United to our hands. We have thus far done
our work efficiently, economically and faithful
ly and shall continue to do it. Our resources
are lmited-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 effec
tive channel through which the benevolence OF
| the charitable can be dispensed. (Signed) VIM

MEMPHIS AT NOON.
MEMPHIS Sept. 1.-THE fever continues ur
abated and many active workers among th
sick are being stricken down. A. j. Wheeler
secretary of the Masonic relief board, is dying
Four nurses in the employ Of the board hav
J died and four others are sick. J. B. Cook, al
: chitect, and DR.. d. D. Saunders, are down wit
the fever. Rev. G. G. Parsons, rector of Grae
, Episcopal church died last night; also Mrs
, Ann Philmont and Frank Gates son, Samut
w. Gates. Miss Mollie Gates is down with til
fever. The physicians and nurses from WASH
. ington reported for duty to the Howard asst
citation this morning. There is pressing nee
l FOR experienced nurses; $40 per day have bee
: vainly offered for nurses and many sick lie
e their rooms without proper attention, owing
the inability of the relief associations to SUI
ply many calls for nurses. Although there al
/ many negroes in the city, few can be persuade
4 to wait upon or even approach a sick person
while majority of those offering as nurses fl
the big pay offered are inefficient. Fifty-fo1
deaths are reported up to noon to-day, and II
/ for the twenty-four hours ending at noon.
