YELLOW FEVER

New ORLEANS, Sept. IA The following
explains itself;
The resolution of the Howard Asseeia-
ton telegraphed last night applies only to
themselves and their peculiar work with
the sick aud destitute from fevor, and is
nor intended to apply to the Peabody
Association whose work is to relieve the
destitution which prevails widespread from
the present epidemic. Peabody does no.
bic work, aside from our particular sphere,
and is worthy of every encouragement.

Gilhllan, which takes the place of the old

standard silver dollar. 1t names 100 natio-
nal banks as designated repositories of
the United States to be supplied by the
Treasury upon their application with
standard silver dollars from the mint free
of expense, in accordance with section 81
427, revised statutes. 1t is expected that
the coin furnished will be put into circula-
ton by being supplied by public disbursing
offices to manufacturing and the other es
tahishments, to other banks, and bankers
for distribution in like manner by them
and generally when it is to be used as cur
rept money. Assistant treasurers of the

in this circular. United States disbursing
agents and paymasters who obtain funds

dollars when practical for disbursement.
As many standard dollars will be paid on
