EDITORS APPEAI-I see in SATURDAYS 40
aidnche where the editor had been shown
through the Towards storerooms, where he
found bountful supplies. many of perish
able nature, others of a character not suit
able for the sick, which will have to be dis
posed of otherwise. 1t seems, from the album
dance both of money and supplies which has
been, as it were, poured in from all quarters
by the generous people, that the supplies will
be ample, not only for the sick and destitute
in the city. as well as for those in the differ
emit encampments around the city which are
under the control Of the different benevolent
organizations, which, of course, should claim
your first care and attention; but if there is
an abundance for them and yet to spare,
there are others who claim the consideration
of the different committees. The citizens
were urged to leave the city and go into
camps, and there were numerous families
who procured tents from the Citizens relief
committee, who preferred not to go into the
general camp, but preferred TO camp to them
selves and to take care of and feed them
selves as far as possible, which they have
done. Most of those campers are of moder-
ate means, who have to labor for support
They are our own citizens, and had they went
to the general camp you would have had to
provide for them IN all respects. They are
cut off from any business for the present by
which they could earn a support, and many
have already exhausted their supplies and
means, and no doubt many are In want of
provisions who are reluctant to let their real
wants be known. hope this communication
will receive consideration from the proper
heads of the different organizations, and
pray that the supply stores may be like unto
the woman's three measures of meal we read
of in the scriptures. This is penned by a cit
izen of our stricken city, who has lived in it

The Leath Orphan Asylum and the
ChiIdren's Refuge,

EDITORS APPEAL-I visited the Leath Or
phaD asylum yesterday. The principal, Mr..
Peabody, has the fever, and of about forty
orphans, some fifteen have the fever. The
little ones are well cared for. Mrs. Davis, of
Austin, Texas, is managing the nurses and
the asylum. She is careful about the selec-
tlon of nurses, and has a good physician, Dr.
Bradford, also from Texas. The only special
need is good cook. If yellow-fever nurses
are to do good work anywhere, they must be
well fed. | also visited the children's refuge,
established by the Citizens relief committee,
on the Louisville railroad. Colonel Casey
Young proposed this refuge, and is chairman
If the committee. The design is to take
children and care for them till their parents
or friends recover from fever. The arrange
ment has protected some children from dis
ease, and greatly relieved many poor sick
families. 1t is presided over by the Sisters
of st. -Mary's Episcopal church. There have
been as many as fifty children in the refuge
at one time. There are now about twenty
Eve. The mortality has been about one half
Of course these children were from diseased
families, and many of them have taken the
fever and died. Of six infants-one only ten
days old-that saw on a previous visit, all
have died but one. Death removed so many
of the Sisters that for nine days all these
children were cared for by faithful colored
woman. The house is provided with all that
is needed. How beautiful the charities and
and benefactions which present themselves
on every side in this dark day of the mol

Mr.. Il. b. CLARKE, who succeeded John G
Lonsdale, jr., as treasurer of the Citizens
relief committee, died of yeIlow-fever yes
terday after a weeks sickness. Mr.. Clarke,
up to the time when he contracted the plague,
had been connected with the committee in a
clerical capacity, and was so attentive to his
duties as to commend himself to the officers
OF that organization as well fitted for the
responsible position vacated by the death
OF Mr. Lonsdale. He accepted the trust, and
proved by his subsequent management of
the duties of the office the wisdom of the
committees choice. Like all those of the
committee who preceded him to the grave,
Mr.. Clarke stood to his post to the last
moment, and only gave up when completely
broken down. His death is deeply mourned
by his associates and by wide circle of
friends, who esteemed him as a gentleman OF
the highest character, courteous and polite.
and full of that moral courage of which
heroes are made.
