WOMAN'S RELIEF CORPS.
A Breezy Headquarters Bulletin-Notes from
Denartments.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: National Pres
ident Mary l.. Carr has entered upon her
duties with determination to make this end
of-the-century year one of the best in the
history of the organization, and, IL possible
the best.
Immediately following her establishing OF
headquarters there came n call from Miss
Barton. President of the Red Cross, for heI
for the destitute widows and orphans in Gal
weston. The response was quick, as the ne
cessity demanded. There are hundreds of oul
old soldiers in that stricken State who are
rendered destitute by the awful. hurricane
Some lived in the city which was the center
in the Gulf washed districts. but all were
in need Of help. Among other things Mrs
Carr says, in Circular Letter No. /:
ITO assist these Union veterans who once
bore the burden in the hour of danger Is
4 duty incumbent upon the Woman's Relief
Corps. To this end / call upon the patriotic
and loyal women of our great organization to
assist in the work of relief. Funds are need
not only TO relieve immediate wants. but 10
assist these veterans In building homes for
their families and TO furnish means to enable
them to again provide for their dependent
ones. The Department of Texas is doing Il
noble work, but its means are wholly mad
equate TO meet the demand. l trust this
appeal will receive prompt attention. that
substantial evidence OF the sympathy we feel
for these unfortunate ones may be forward d
to them without delay. Contributions for
the Texas Relief Fund must be forwarded
through regular channels to Department and
receive due credit
