LAST week a stranger walked in
to the Office of the treasurer of the
Bedford street mission, in Philadel
phia, and handed in an envelope
stating hat it contained his con,
tribution to the yellow fever fund
of the South. He refused to give
his name, but the envelope con
tanned five 500 bills and one $500
bill. That man has missed an ey.
cellent opportunity for advertising
himself in the newspapers of the
United States, but he will find his
name where it ought to be when
the eternal record of noble men is
made up.

Gov. St0Ise's Proclamation.

Aberdeen Examiner.
Gov. Stones pitifnl proclamation
setting aside the Goth as a day Of
fasting and prayer, is a poor re-.
Spouse to the general demand tor
him to exercise his power and intu.
ence for the relief of u suffering
people who should not need outside
aid, and do not wish to be humili.
ated by having to accept it.
SO far as prayers go, they are
ascending at morn, noon aud night
from every household, and will not
be the more fervent because offered
in accordance with executives SEIZED
nle, but the people are painfully
aware Of the fact that God works
through natural agencies, and helps
those most who help themselves,
and they cannot understand why
the governor refuses to accele a to
general demand and use the public
resources for the public good.

Relief.


Jackson, Sept, 23.-Col. j.. L.
Power, grand secretary and treas
urer Of MasonS aud Odd Fellows,
and manager OF the relief iund,
desires to make the following gen
eral acknowledgement through the
associated press. ..i.
Jackson, Miss, Sept. 23.-To the
Free MasOns and Odd Fellows OF
the United States: In behalf of our
afflicted brethren aud their fami-
lies in our tever-stricken communi-
ties, and in behalf of hundreds of
others who have been relieved by
your timely and generous benef-
cence, | return you profound thanks
tor the noble response that you
have sent to Il appeals for help.
| have thereby been enabled to
answer promptly every call from
the ten places in the State where
fever is prevailing, and with the
funds on hand and now coming,
will, doubtless. be able to meet
every demand until the close ofthe
epidemic. Should there be any
surplus, it will be distributed as
jndiciouSly as possible for the ben
eft of the hundreds OF orphans
bequeathed by the plague to i'm
pOveriShed communities.
In their behalf, | would still en- |
list your generous sympathy. The
relief received through me has
been dispensed, as far as practical
Bile, through the committees of
both orders, without regard to
race, color or creed; such has been
the expressed wish of nearly every
lodge aud brother contributing. |
am now obtaining lists of families
having special claims upon our
care, 50 that none may be over
looked in the distribution. | have
received to date nearly fifty thous-
and dollars, nearly all from Masons
and Odd Fellows.
In due time a full report of this
good work which it has been my
privilege to conduct will be given
TO the generous contributors and to
the public. 1t will be a testimony
10 the goodness and gratitude of
human heart. j. l.. POWER.
