is to NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. at the Ath-
eneum-More Masonic Relief.
The meeting of the ladies interested in
the work of relief for the sufferers at the
South, was held yesterday afternoon at the
House of Hope, and all present were much
gratifed and encouraged by the known re-
suits of canvassing done by the ladies to
whom districts were given. Seven hundred
and ninety-six dollars and ffty-two cents
was the amount paid over to the treasurer,
Mrs. Geo. Farwell, as the result of three
days effort on the part of those who kindly
gave their time to the cause.
The above amount, being only part OF
what is pledged, will be sent to-day to the
Ladies Relief society," at New Orleans, tc
be used as the managers shall decide.
The ladies desire especially to acknowledge
one case of wine from Mr.. Geo. Benz, and
five bottles of wine from friend. Nothing
is as yet decided as to what will be done as

tenth streets.
Mrs. John Mattocks and Mrs. Charles

During the continuance of the labors oil
this board of workers, Mrs. DIR. McMasters
has consented to remain at the helm, tc
guide and assist all who may enlist their en-
ergies in behalf of the good work which is
progressing so bravely.
Another meeting is called for Monday
afternoon at 3 o'clock at the same place.

to solicit in them, and it is not desirable
that any should be sighted.
THE GERMAN SOCIETY.
The concert and dramatic entertainment
at the Athenaum Sunday evening next, by
the German society, for the benefit of the
yellow fever sufferers, is now completely
outlined and promises to be grand success,
both in an artistic sense, and also in the far
more important feature, under the circum-
stances of yielding large return for the
noble object for which it is given. The en-
tertainment will open with the comic opera
in two acts, of s'the Jolly Students before
given with marked success at the Athen@um
This will ho foIlOuyo1 Iu fbo
comedy of ga Cure for Mothers Law, ,
its first presentation in this CITY. This COM
edy was written by King Louis I, of Bavaria
under his nom de plume OF DR.. Fastenrath
and is pronounced one of his
brightest and best productions. The
M@nnerchor, Polymnia and the dramatic
division of the German society with Seibert's
orchestra, will take part in the presentation
of the programme, guarantee that it will
be well done. Notwithstanding the high
character of the entertainment, and the
worthy object for which it is given, it has
been determined to place the admission al
the very low sum of so and Is cents. AS
the expenses will be a merely nominal sum
the hall and the services of those participant
ing having been rendered free, very liberal
sum for the relief fund is expected, as the
house will undoubtedly be packed to its
greatest capacity, while very large humble,
of tickets will be taken by persons to aid the
good cause, not attending the entertainment
