The Ladies Conclude Their Work--Other
Contributions--Letter of Acknowlede-
ment.
The noble band of ladies, members of the
several Protestant church societies of the
city, who SO promptly organized themselves
into Relief association for the collection of
aid for the plague stricken communities of
the South, believing that the pressing needs
which called them to action have been re-
ieved by the generous responses from all
parts of the country, have disbanded, and
are once more devoting their individual
efforts to the needs of their respective par
ishes. The association was in existence
only some two weeks, and yet in this short
time there was collected and transmitted to
the South, as shown by the final settlement,
the sum of 81 ,241.50. This fund was sent
to the Ladies' Physiological society, of New
Orleans, an organization of long
standing, and originally formed
for an entirely different purpose than relief,
but which has been doing noble work in the
present emergency. OF the amount, ac-
acknowledgement has been received of $500
forwarded some days since, with assurances
that it would be judiciously employed, and
generous thanks for the substantial sympa-
thy shown by their sisters of st. Paul. The
balance of the 81 ,241.50 was sent forward
yesterday.
The Ladies' Relief association of ST. Paul
had brief existence, but it's life was charac-
terized by good works unostentatiously per-
formed. 1t is well.
HANDSOME ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

MORE RELIEF.
The generous givers of the State continue
sending their contributions to Gov. Pillsbury
for the benefit of the yellow fever sufferers.
The following was received yesterday: From
the ladies of Jordan, $39.43; from Hon. G.
FL. Graves, proceeds of an entertainment
given by the band and an association of
ladies and gentlemen at Duluth, $l0S. 80.
Total S147.73.
The Odd Fellows of the State have been
| responding with their usual liberality to the
appeal of the grand master, the amount con-
tributed to date being $59s.20, of which
1914 has been sent TO Gov. Pillsbury for dis
tribution, and the balance will probably be
sent to Gov. Shepherd, of Washington, now
at st. Louis, collecting supplies for the
smaller towns along the Mississippi river, cut
off from the outside world by the steamboat
and railroad quarantine.
