FUND FOR THE RELIEF
OF PLAGUE SUFFERERS
Amount Raised by District
Branch of Red Cross Is
Nearly $1,000.

The fund for the relief of plague suf-
ferers in China, collected by the District
of Columbia branch of the American Red
Cross Society, is nearly $1,2GO. The con-
tributions, deposited with the treasurer.
Frank Reside, are from the rich and the
poor. The offerings of men and women
prominent in the social and business life
Of the National Capital, and the widows
mite and the small gift of two poor wom-
en- have helped to swell the sum OF
money for the destitute and helpless in
China.
The donations have been liberal, so far.
but all the money that can be given can
be used, as the misery consequent upon
the devastation of entire towns and cities
and provinces, almost, is so widespread
that it's alienation is giant task, re-
curing vast sums to accomplish.
