YELLOW FEVER PROPHYLAXIS IN NEW ORLEANS 59 



A sulphur depot was established for the Fourteenth Ward at No. 6,053, Constance 

 Street, yesterday, with J. J. Beahr in charge. This is for the aid of the poor in that 

 ward. 



Three more cars of sulphur were received yesterday and reported to Dr. Warner for 

 the use of the wards in distributing to the poor. 



Two important meetings have been scheduled for to-night. The one at the First 

 Baptist Church, on Magazine, near Washington Avenue, will be addressed by Dr. 

 J. H. White, Dr. Pothier, Dr. Warner, Rev. C. V. Edwards, and others. 



An important meeting has also been billed for the coloured church on Austerlitz 

 Street, between Magazine and Constance, to-night at 8 o'clock, which will be addressed 

 by Dr. Kohnke and others. 



Monday night will witness three large mass meetings. Touro Synagogue will be 

 one of them, where Drs. Guiteras, Bloom, Matas, Fenner and Warner will speak. 

 Time, 8 o'clock. 



Y.M.C.A. Hall, 8 p.m., addresses by Drs. Guiteras, Sexton, Kohnke and others. 



Presbyterian Church, Euterpe and South Franklin Streets, addresses by Drs. Smith 

 and Metz and Prof. Beyer. Time, 8 o'clock. 



On Tuesday night. Bishop Davis Sessums and Dr. Kohnke will be leading speakers 

 at a big coloured mass meeting in the First M.E. Church, corner First and Dryades 

 Streets. 



These concluding paragraphs of the month's work give a very 

 good idea of the extent of the educational campaign. Lectures were 

 fixed for almost every evening during which the fever lasted, and by 

 these means all classes of the community were reached. Dr. Warner 

 who, as we have seen, as superintendent of the Volunteer Ward 

 Organisation, took the lead in organising the educational campaign, 

 was also enthusiastically supported in this movement by the Home 

 and Education Department of the \\'oman's League. Under the 

 chairmanship of Mrs. W. J. Behan a very large number of popular 

 lectures were organised both indoors and in the public Park. Indeed, 

 they appear to have commenced the educational movement before 

 the outbreak of the Fever. They also did not confine themselves to 

 lectures, but by forming Ward Clubs and appointing visitors they 

 assisted in urging the necessity upon each householder of oiling and 

 screening.
