A doll dressing reception is new idea
recently inaugurated by Mrs n. Q. Speer,
of Ben Venue. AS result ITO beautifully
dressed dolls were sent to the Oakland
office of the Society for the Improve
ment of the Poor yesterday to cheer the
hearts of the poor children of the city. AT
this reception ITO dolls were dressed IN one
afternoon by 20 ladies, not all young, for
one at least was some 20 years old The
amusement which this novel means OF
entertainment afforded, resulted in the es-
tablishment of permanent organization to
carry on such work. The ridiculous ap-
pearance of some OF the rag dolls which
were to have been distributed among the
children, started the ladies laughing and
talking about dressing dolls, and as re-
suit over 100 children will be benefited.
The ladies vino were active in working,
were: Mrs. Spencer Scull, Mrs. johnson,
Mrs Smith, Mrs. Glouinger, Mrs. Ferguson,
the Misses Stuart, the Misses johnson,
Mrs Haws, Miss Haws, Mrs. Chessley,
Mrs, Cassidy, Mrs. Hamilton, Mrs. For
rester Mrs. Evans, Mrs. Oliver, Mrs.

AN OFFICE. OF IMPORTANCE.

Speculation as to Collector Miller's Inten-
tions with Regard to Removals
Few people realize the Importance of the
office which George Miller assumed active
control of yesterday morning H. j.
Mitchell, who was Acting Internal Revenue
Collector for one week less than year pre-
vious to December II, collected S4, S2S,
400 g. in the Western Pennsylvania dis
trict. Of this amount So, 1o2, 155 80 came
from tax and stamps on spirits, S74O, 042 "
on beer SS5S 716 09 on tobacco, cigars and
snuff. Sl16,232 II on special articles and
S11, 400 60 on lists.
Mr. Miller will probably retain Mr.
Mitchell as chief clerk or deputy, and in
order to make room for him may dispense
with the services of Harry A. Armstrong or
S. T. Pearce. There is some speculation
which one will be let go. Harry Armstrong
is an ardent Quay man, and made an active
fight against the anti-Quay faction at the
time OF Congressman Stones first nomina-
tion, and many expect he will be removed
now to get even. On the other hand, 1t is
asserted Mr.. Miller's confirmation in the
Senate was secured through a promise that
the Quay appointees connected with the
Office should not be removed, and that he
will not break his word. He is non-com-
initial, and saws he will not remove anyone
unless the business of the office demands it..

GaIkvzD FOR A DOG.
Tho Defendant in the Suit Contended the
Plaintiff Was Mistaken.

Tho Defendant in the Suit Contended the
Plaintiff Was Mistaken.
A most amusing case was that heard be-
fore AldermaG IcMas;ers yesterday, when
]. C. Murphy, with an affection for lost
dog which was almost pathetic, endeavoreo
to regain possession Of his canine friend
from L. NJ Hamilton, of Walnut street,
East End, whom he thought was alternating
the brute's affections. It was evidently
case of mistaken identity. Murphy lost his
dog some months ago. and has grieved over
his misfortune ever since The dog was
discovered on Centre avenue by friend OF
the plaintiff. The dog was lovable brute,
Murnhy said, Even when came back
after being away for three mcnths he would
Jump upon my shoulders and kiss me. he
was inst three years OF age. He cared SO
much for me that he would look at no one
else
Il was then suggested by one of the attor-
news that the dog be brought into the Al
German's office and be permitted to choose
his master Murphy was asked whether
that would be satisfactory to him, and SAID:
"That'll be all right If he hasn't put bad
into the dogs head since he lett me. Mr.;
Murphy offered some STOCK cut priutS "
hound dogs and said: "When you're look
ing at these it's my dog to the hair OF your
head. ="
The defendant contended it was a case OF
mistaken identity and he could prove 1t ny
two witnesses who were unable to get OIL to
come to the hearing After Hamilton gave
permission for two of the plaintiffs friends
10 come out and try to identify the dog at MS
house, the case was continued until the lat
ter part of the week.

DICK QUAY IN TOWN.

He Meets Several Politicians and Says His
Father Will Be Reelected Easily.
The political elements were somewhat
agitated yesterday afternoon by the appear
ance in the city of Senator Quay's son Dick.
He arrived at noon from his home at
Beaver, where he has been for some time,
and went direct to City Hall, where he had
q short conference with Senator Finn,
Chief Brown and Register Conner, who
happened to be in the Chiefs office. After
ward he called on Postmaster Mexican and
several other friends, some political, some
not. When asked the object Of his visit
here he said:
"Purely private business. I have been
at home and don't know what is going on
mere. I don't know anything about the
local political situation. ="
"How about the United States Senator
ship?''
dFather will be elected beyond doubt.
There are 254 votes on joint ballot, 80 in
the Senate. The Legislature will vote for
United States Senator about January II.
Father will have the 128 votes necessary on
the first ballot and some to spare.
As to the mayoralty situation Mr. Quay
said he could see no reason why the Re-
publicans should not win with any one of
several good men he had heard of as prob
able candidates, but he would not mention
the names OF those he referred to.

HURTS BuslN Ess on THE HUMP.

Evidence Against the Fifth Avenue CaDie
Road Brought Out in a Tax Appeal.
The valuation of property on the Fifth
avenue hump was brought up in the ap-
peal of j. F. Maeder before Assessment
Commissioner Beal yesterday. His assess
ment was S39, 500 He thought 1t should be
half that, testifying that every yesr since
the Fifth avenue cable road was started
property between Grant and Smithheld
streets has deprecated because the cars
don't stop on the hill, but carry people on
down town and business suffers in eonse-
uuence He would net testify that he
would sell the property below the assess
ment. Mr. Nevin thought the property
worth what it is assessed. Several wit
nesses corroborated Mr.. Maeder about the
effect of the cable cars on business ca the
hump.
Judge Thomas Mellon and his sons, j.
R., r. B., T. A. and A. W., we're the next
appellants. Their appeals were on classiti-
cation of their property in the Nineteenth,
Twentieth and TWenty-first wards, most OF
it cut up into building lots except the
homestead on Negley avenue. j. Il

BOYLE FOR G0URLEY.
The Commissioner Says the Mayor
Will Elect the Democrats.
WON'T WITHDRAW.
Trouble in the Alliance Over the Nomina-
tion of Beinhauer.
DICK oUA1's CONFIDENT PREDICTION

Only one thing seemed sure in local poll
tics yesterday. That was that Magistrate
McKenna would get the Democratic neni-
nation for Mayor The indications are
that Mayor Gourley will be the Demo-
cratic nominee for Controller, but it is not
sure. County Commissioner Boyle came
out for him and declared his nomination
would insure Democratic victory. He
thought no independent ticket would have
any chance of election because circum-
stances always arise to prevent which no.
body can anticipate. The talk of putting
the Mayor on the Republican ticket for
Controller continues, aud some men in the
party insist on it. Those who are credited
with being the party leaders are non-com-
initial, however, and cannot be induced to
say whether it should be done or not.
DR.. McCandless came out in another en-
phatie statement yesterday that he would
60 into the convention and fight for the
Mayoralty nomination against all comers.
His friends assert that he can win the cleo
tion if nominated, despite contrary claims,
and he will not get out of the way unless
fairly defeated.
There is said to be trouble In store for
the Industrial Allisnce 1t originated
over the nomination of Beinhauer for
Mayor last Saturday night A third of the
delegates present, representing large
number of voters, vehemently protested
against him because they said he was weak
and they would only be throwing away the
new party's vote in favor of one of the old
party candidates to nominate him. Further
action is predicted by the local branches.
The Alliance leaders deny the statement,
but it comes from delegates who were there
and participated in the meeting.
Jerry Dougherty was angry yesterday
over a charge that he had endeavored to
break into the Saturday night meeting in
the interest of McKenna's candidacy. II
went to the meeting" said he last night,
las representative Of the Amalgamated
Association. We were not admitted for
reasons don't wish to give. Politics was
not considered in the matter at all. l know
good deal that transpired but am not at
liberty to talk about it. "
Ex-County Commissioner McWilliams,
who received the Alliance nomination for
Citv Treasurer, doesn't seem to be much
elated over the honor. When asked last night
if he would accept he said he had not been
officially notified as yet, and until then
would not give the matter consideration.

TO AVOID ANNOYANCE.

The Commissioners Prepare Some Pointers
for Candidates.
The Baker ballot law has yet to be tried
in this city for local election and some
perplexing questions will arise. In order
to simplify their own work as much as pos
sible. as we'll as to assist aspiring candidates,
the County Commissioners yesterday
adopted a resolution embodying some i'm
portant suggestions. 1t reads as follows;
WHEREAS, 1t being the duty OF the County
Commissioners to have properly. printed all

The burning of two small frame stables in
the rear of the Newsboys' Home, on Old
avenue last evening, resulted in the crema-
tion of two horses. One of the animals
was the property of d. Bradley and the
owner of the other could not be learned. An
alarm was sent in from box Sc, but, although
the department responded promptly, their
efforts to save the building were futile. The
loss on the two stables and horses is not
over $500; no insurance. The origin of the
fire is a mystery.

TYLER CLAIMS HE'S A WINNER.

The Major Nettled Over Claim That Ken

Major Tyler was considerably nettled
last night over the publication of story to
the effect that he was losing ground as may
orality candidate in Allegheny, and that
Mayor Kennedy was making correspond
ing gain. Tyler claims the truth is just the
reverse, deies the Kennedy people to show
where they have gained anything, and then
goes into an elaborate explanation of the
many advantages he has and the rapidity
with which his strength is growing.
A number of Allegheny politicians when
seen last night said it was only question
of what time would do, but if the primaries
were held within a week Tyler could not be
defeated.
