l J Society gets its exciting data which, however

incorporation of the New York State Board of the

supplies follow as soon as they be gathered and
made ready, Among the members are several ladies
who charge themselves with the duty of providing

vegetables, hams and smoked beef-n a word, the

Donations of money are made every and then
to the society for the purpose of purchasing food,

for emergency. The clothing collected for the

received by the society, when requisition Is made
upon them for clothes there is seldom enough to go

be said that they have so far met bravely all the
demands upon them without calling in the aid OF
the main BOARD of the relief association.
