MEMS FAST BLACK HOSE.

Heretofore it has been almost impossi-
Bile to secure an absolutely fast black hose
for men without paying quite large price
for them. S0ch is no longer the case. We

have the pleasure of placing before you
not only the finest qualities and most re-
liable dyes, but the most inexpensive
line we have ever offered AS with the
ladies' and children's hose we also guar

AN AGED INGENDIARY.
While nm Inmate of the Little Sisters Of
the Poor She Set Houses on Fire.

While nm Inmate of the Little Sisters of
the Poor She Set Houses on Fire.
Mrs. Barbara Guenther, aged 73; was
taken to the Central station last evening by
her two sons, Daniel and George. She lived
in Hooveler's court, off Penn avenue, near
the old Niagara engine house.
Some two years ago both Mrs. Guenther
and her husband, who is some 75 years of
age. were sent to the Little Sisters of the
Poor. 1t appears from the statement of
the sons that the management of the Sisters
of the Poor objected to keeping the old lady,
as she had endeavored to set the place on
fire several times.
The sisters, the sons claim, having noti-
fed them TO remove their mother, they did
so, and yesterday evening were as much
surprised as the general public to hear the
old lady scream and make public exhibi-
ton of herself After taking her to Central
station, where she remained in the hospital
department for some time, she YVES taken
home by her two boys. who agreed to make
the course for her as pleasant as possible.
This was done as far as the brothers could
do, and the police station not being regarded
as q pleasant place to retain lady, the
brothers concluded to keep moving. The
old lady was taken home by her sons, who
said she had already threatened to burn
down their own houses, and had in fact
kindled the fires to do so.
She is a very MISUNDERSTANDING old
lady, little fighty in her manners, but
does not seem to be at all violent.

THE MERCANTILE TAX.


Treasurer DennistOn's Annual Statement TO
Harrisburg Makes Good showing
Less Than Usual UncOIlectable.
City Treasurer Denniston yesterday
forwarded to Harrisburg the annual state
ment of the State mercantile license tax of
the city for last year. Under the law the
mercantile tax must be paid on or before
July 10, when all unpaid claims are turned
over to the various Aldermen of the various
wards for collection by process Of law.
Ifany retail dealer will go before an Al
derman and make affidavit that his business
does not reach 81 900 a year he will be ex-
empted from the State license. The dealers
are classified according to the amount of
business they do, there being IL classes, the
three highest being A, B and c; then fol-
lows Glass No. and up to IA inclusive. A
dealer who does from 81 1000 to 5000 of
business year is put in Glass IA and is
assessed So per year for the benefit of the
State If his business runs up anywhere
from So. 900 to $40, 900 he goes into class 13;
if from $40, 900 to $4,000, class II, and SO on
up to class A, the proportion of assessment
being increased accordingly, until in some
cases the mercantile tax itself is quite a
figure with some firms, Joseph Horne & Co.
being a notable example, their mercantile
tax alone being 5000 on their wholesale busi-
ness and $3.50 on retail. This in addition to
the regular business tax of the city.
The statement made by the City Treasurer
Yesterday shows that out of the total mer-
camille tax levied on the city, which was
S43,603, there was collected %1 ,070 Sc,
which includes all that could be collected
by the city Alderman. The balance, ST.
$50 IA, was returned by the Alderman as un-
collectable. This is considered as aremark-
able showing, as generally the proportion
returned as uncollectable is much larger.
