THE YELLOW FEVER SUFFERERS.

As will be seen at the head of this column,
Intendant McCorkle has issued call for a
meeting of the citizens, at the Court House,
this evening, the object being for the financial
relief of the fever-stricken people in the South
and West. This call should awaken the sym.
pathy of every citizen, and we doubt not will
have the effect to enlist the active cooperation
of all who are in the least sensible to the
cry of distress which reaches US from the
afflicted cities. While towns and cities of
the North and Northwest, with commenda-
BILE spirit, are nobly contributing with lib
eralty to the relief of the sufferers, it is no less
aduty of our own people, who are Providential'
ly spared from the horrors Of the pestilence, to
contribute of their means for the same object.
Let there be a full meeting to-night-not
only of the gentlemen, but the ladies, who are
ever foremost in every benevolent object. Be-
sides other speakers who will be present,
Judge Aldrich has kindly consented to ad-
dress the meeting.

CONJUNCTION OF JUPITER AND THE SUN.-It
is very quiet this month 10 celestial regions for
the planets are enjoying a rest from their la
bors after their brilliant summer campaign
The shining planetary quartette is this day
broken up, and Jupiter is the one to desert
the ranks To-day he comes in conjunction
with the sun and is hidden for time from
view by the superior light Of the great central
lumlnsry OF the system, under whose eclipsing
blaze this immense planet has no more power
to emit visible ray than the tiny Marian sat-
elite, whose circumference would be an cas-
davis walk for swift-footed pedestrian
When Jupiter is in conjunction with the sun
he is at his greatest distance from the earth /;
the planet, the sun and the earth being in a
straight line, with the sun in the centre. This
day he rises and sets with the sun, and when, a
few weeks hence, he becomes visible once
more, he will have passed to the western side
of the sun and commenced his role of morning
star At first family visible as tiny point Of
light shortly before the suns majestic face ap-
pears above the horizon, he will increase in
size and brilliancy until he disputes with rosy
fingered Aurora the Office of herald of the
dawn. As the months roll on and he comes
nearer to the earth, he will continue to increase
In briliiancy until the 25th of July, when he
reaches his opposition with the sun, and Joins
again the brotherhood of evening stars, whose
sole representative besides himself will then be
the red planet Mars.-Pro0idence Journal, 4th.

Railroad, by the filing in the United States

of the Worcester and Nashua and Nashua and
Rochester railroads, over operating expenses,
was $199, 904 Ga sum sufficient to pay all the
interest on its debt and rental of the Nashua

a dividend on its capital stock at the present
time. The business of the Nashua and Roch-

the year, the net earnings being S43, 278 08. The
| changes made necessary in removing the pas
senger terminus of this company from Foster
street to the Union passenger station, and the
construction of viaduct necessitated thereby,
have imposed an outlay of $4,000 and a year

Worth on Dressing.

Worth is tsllish man, with big, clever
head, and very prominent forehead. His brown
eyes are singularly shrewed in expression, and
ther seizure OF detail is surprising-that is, for
man. As rule men have no more eye for
detail than owls have for the sun. Worth takes
you in at glance, and knows what your style
ought to be, which is such comfort. When 1

passage" as Bob would say L want to order
harmony in one or two colors, and to encounter
brains equal to the occasion. Worth's taste,
when allowed full play, is irreproachable 81

but there ara women who don't believe in the
value of dress unless it is loaded with trim
ming. They drive me mad, for they won't take
advice. Now, what is becoming to one person
is hideous when worn by another. L study to
make the best out Of the subject given me, as,
unfortunately, we can't have people made to Or
der, can we? If 1 had my way all women
Ehould be slight graceful and pretty. Then
dressing them would be al artistic pleasure. A
dress should never overpower the wearer. 1t
should merely be an appropriate frame for
charming picture, bringing out the beauties of
the picture, but never distraoting attention
from 1T. So few women understand this Why
when find l can make a costume for less
money than has been agreed upon, actually

that it cannot be as handsome as it ought to be,
and they would rather have more material
added, however much the design may be
marred, than pay less. l assure you, this
Is fact. Consequently, when meet Ia
dies who know that dressing is an art take
very great satisfaction in having them as
patrons. 1t isn't every woman who knows how
to wear dress. When have done my best,
try to make my client do her best by seeing her
walk and sit down. To walk with style is rare
enough, but when it comes to being able to sit
down in dress properly-wel, there are not
many equal to that, can tell you. Then wo-
men think they ought to have a number of
dresses however hideous, than wear one dress,
however becoming. There never was greater
mistake. Ii your frame is, appropriate, stick to
1t. Don't be getting out of it, and trying ex-
periments. have just made dress for Mad
anne Nilsson in which she looks better than [
ever saw her BEFORE and L have begged her to
wear that dress constantly in Russia if she
wants to produce charming effect AS she Is
sensible, think she will take my advice, which
