Mr.. Mcdonald and his co-laborers at Old City

procession bearing contributions continued
from morn until night. Much of the clothing
was sent to the Second Presbyterian
Church, where the distressed were not

tributed is of excellent quality, especially fem

disposed is very large hearted, and doubtless
many denied themselves that they might assist
their unfortunate sisters. By the time the

have experience sufficient to set themselves
up as clearinghouse clerks The little folks
were not forgotten, and the stock of short pants,

would stock several large stores. While there

Notwithstanding the heartiness of the invi-

burg. and the great preparations made by the
relief committee for their entertainment
surprisingly small number have so far availed
themselves of the opportunity. chat with
Mr.. Charles Walz, who has been doing volnn-

the fact that the majority seem to have de-
cided objection to leaving the town, although
they have lost everything and are in many cases
suffering for food, clothing and shelter. A
spirit of independence. highly commendable
but many think at variance with common sense
under existing circumstances together with a
love for the place that has been home so long,
prompts them to remain and try to recover
what the waters wrested from them sooner
than accept the charity of strangers. no matter
how generously rendered or freely given. 1t is
not alone among those of gentle birth that this
feeling exists, but also among the poorer
classes. As one man said to Mr.. Walz last

norlce to the public:
Public notice is hereby given to the residents of
Pittsburg that all water used for culinary and
drinking purposes should be boiled and filtered.
Temporary filters can be improvised, but the
essential and all-important matter is that the
water for ali aforesaid purposes should be thor
oughly boiled SO as to destroy the germs of disease
that may be contained therein arising from Inc
vast amount OF decomposed animal and Sgetable
matter deposited in tue Allegheny river by the
Johnstown disaster.
The Chief says people should be careful to
drink as little water as possible, even filtered,
and to be particularly careful thar children do
not drink much .Tater
