AMAGDALEN AS A MINIsTER1NG ANGEL.
New York, Sept. ga Memphis special
says: A magdalen, named Matte Reno,
died here of yellow fever last evening.
While belonging to that order known as
the demi-monde. the acts of this woman
since the epidemic justify the CHASING of
her with the heroines of the pres
ent plague. Her ministering cares have
been among the most lowly who had been
attacked in her neighborhood. Although
having never had the fever she went
around giving her attention to the sick and
distressed. Unmindful for herself, she
seemed to care only for the afflicted.
When she died some of the young men of
this city. having heard of her kindly deeds,
gave her a respectable burying in Elm
wood. At the grave were Rev. Dalzell, of
the Episcopal Church, and Rev. Boggs, of
the Presbyterian Church. DR.. Dalzell in
most impressive manner read the funeral
services. Two ministers and four young
men acted as pall-bearers.

Rational Associated Press to the Star.
MEMPHIS, Sept. So A. M.-The present
bright, clear weather is little cheering,
even with the cloud If sorrow so deeply
hanging over us. The disease spreads
slowly but steadily. Few hope for de-
cided check, but all believe the disease can
be controlled so as to keep its spread so
slow that not over 400 or 500 will be sick at
any one time. The total deaths now reach
1922 and the cases about 1900 At the
camps the health is good and the people
cheerful, but very anxious to return to
their homes. The report last night closed
with q new cases and 10 deaths.
