A Report From Miss Barton in Regard to the Relief Work. In a letter from Miss Clara Barton to the secretary of the District of Columbia Red Cross Auxiliary, Miss Barton says of the Sea Island relief work: “Nothing but rigid economy, tireless la- bor and skillful financiering have stood and will stand between these people and the starvation and death which stares them in the face. I learn that the president of your association, Mr. Warner, is coming to see us. Tell him to please take time to exam- ine the greatest field of relief work since the sanitary commission. Twenty-eight boxes and barrels have been shipped to Miss Barton by the D. C. Auxiliary, and Miss Barton says: “Every garment has gone to keep some poor, shiv- ering creature warm. Last evening our workers came upon the box of medicines and medical appliances from Dr. Clara Bliss Hinds. Dr. Eagan was in ecstasies over it. Medicines here are so scarce and sickness so rife that the sight of a little medicine gladdens the eye of both doctor and patient. Thank the donors in the name of the Red Cross for their useful and beautiful contributions and accept the heart love of all who are with me here.” Since the last report the following cash contributions have been recet' feet, $3. "Total up to Gate, $413.88. ‘The secretary of the D. C.

After each week’s hard labors in the college she devotes Saturday nights to this work. —— In the Cat je Churches. A largely attended meeting of the Cath- olic clergy and laymen from all the par- ishes im the city was held yesterday at the parochial residence of St. Patrick’s Church to arrange for the establishment of an in- dustrial school here, and resolutions pre- sented by E.

Weather Not Favorable to Wheat. Farmers from Maryland say that this winter has not been favorable to wheat, which has continued to grow since it sprouted last fall. The next crop, it is thought, will therefore not be a particularly large one or one abounding in quality. Last year’s crop, it will be remembered, was such @ large one that the price of wheat went down to a ee, that surprised the oldest dealers in the grain. What usually went for a dollar a bushel went off often as low as @ cents, and seldom over 75 cents, during the height of the season.
