GALVESTON. November I9.-Char-
ity does not STAY her hand. Contri-
buttons for the fire sufferers continue
to flow in, aud the total sum contrib
uted reaches tonight, Sg5,i69, of
which S7l $40 has been received, and
S36,3i7 paid out to 6S7 recipients.
These bpneficiaries, in nearly every
instance, represent family, or at
least, they represent more than their
individual selves, and the estimates
are that each beneficiary represents
on an average between three and
half and four individuals, thus making
about $500 people assisted up to the
present time. Some members of the
relief committee say that the 6S7 APP
plications already passed upon and
allowed represent two-thirds of all
that will apply. but Colonel Sinclair,
chairman OF the relief committee, es-
timateg tonight that only one-half
the applications tor relief have thus
far been reached by the committee.
II will thus be seen that opinions yet
vary touching the oNtent of suffering
Inflicted by the great lire.
