9p. m.-The HOwards have appealed for

past two months with the dread destroyer In
their midst, find every dollar In their treasury
exhausted, several hundred sick and conva-
lescents to be provided for, and a large num-
ber of nurses to be paid. We were hopeful In
the beginning that, with the funds on hand at
the outbreak OF the epidemic, we would be
able to provide and care for the sick that
would be thrown upon our hands, but the
fever has continued to spread, and with two
long months yet before US, have no alternative
but to appeal to the charity Of the nation for
substantial aid.
The generous people throughout the Union
will not fail to respond to this call for help. We
feel that we are performing o sacred duty to
the Impoverished and distressed people among
whom our lot is cast. The bounty OF COM
mon people was showered upon us in 1878,
and to those same willing givers we appeal.
II health Is not speedily furnished we will be
compelled to abandon the work In which we
suffer and die for want OF Howard's helping
hand. W. }. SMITH,
Acting President Howard Association.
T. WARING ROANE,
Secretary Howard Association.
