A man who took his dress coat to his tailor and asked him to make a dinner coat to match learned some thing new.
 "I have the same kind of cloth" said the tailor, "but it Is not the piece from which your suit was made. No one will notice the difference, although might as well tell you that no two pieces of black cloth, especially wool ems, are exactly alike in color. There's no use hunting around town to find a better match than this one."-Chicago Inter Ocean.

MASS MEETING TO AID VICTIMS OF
 TURKISH CRUELTY

There will be meeting in the inter- est of the Armenian sufferers in Smiths theatre, Sunday afternoon, at S:30 o'clock. There will be an orcheS- tra and some interesting speeches, all brief. The principal speaker will be M. G Dapazian, pastor of the Armen- ian church of New York city, who was formerly a pastor in Aintad, near the storm center of the massacres. His remarks will be those of an educated and unusually intelligent man who has the advantage of personal knowledge of the people, the laws and the GUS toms of Turkey, as well as of many facts relating to the centuries old per secutions of his own people by the Turks.
 Prominent churchmen have interest ed themselves in the meeting, and special appeal to the church people of Bridgeport will be made, inasmuch as the Armenians, being a Christian peo- pie, have a peculiar right to the con sideration of Christians in more for tunate countries.
