Shelter Provided for Homeless Dogs-Stray
Animals VIII Find Home if They Call
or Are Brought There.

Homeless dogs to dogless homes.
This has been the motto of many
pi1ilanthropie persons in Washington for
years. At last their hope is TO be re-
allied.
The Shelter for Homeless Dogs, situ-
ated on the TenIeytown electric road
and Cedar Lane will open June /, All
stray and homeless dogs which kind
hearted persons pick up IN the streets
may be sent to the shelter. where they
will be cared for. AS fast as possible.
comfortable homes viii be found for
them.
A dog depository will be located at
some suitable place in the city where the
dogs may be taken at any time and
there await the wagon which viii carry
them to the shelter.
Board for CANNES.
Not only the homeless dogs will find
a home In the shelter. Dogs whose mas
ters wish to board them may be sent TO
the shelter and there kept for S. a
month. These dogs. however, must be
taken 70 the shelter by the owners,
either in a wagon or on the cars. a per
nit can be had by applying TO the Of
fee Of the car company.
In other cities, notably New York
and Boston, similar dog shelters have
met with success. They do away
largely with the unintentional cruelty
which must necessarily take place III
the public dog pounds, which are not
provided. as D rule. with sufficient
funds.
How many dogs the SHELTER will be
able to support is not definitely decided.
There are at present kennels stretch

The Morgan house has been purchased
and put into a good state Of repair. This
will be used as a home and office by

retired fireman. There are no other
houses within q radius Of a hundred

to their families, as they understand
that kind Of loyalty. Furthermore,
many of them hold national offices
OF great infiuence-for the head of the
machine is Senator Boise Penrose,
chairman of the Senate Committee on
Postoffices and Postroads, dispenser
OF the Administration patronage in
Pennsylvania, and armed with the re-
sources OF numerous powerful eorpo-
rations whose agent he is.
Second, he must fight, not the poll
strength of these men alone and the
Penrose influence. but a general cor
ruption of the city ballot, which has
been piled openly in past years, to
give Philadelphia 100000 fraudulent
votes
Third, he must fight corrupted
courts. where judges and juries alike
sell themselves to the machine, and
injunctions issue on application to
tie the hands of honest government.
Fourth, he must fight a corrupt city
council. which would execute orders
to impeach the mayor, notwithstand-
ing certain reversal by the superior
courts Of the State, as pliantly as it
has already obeyed orders to sell out
the city.
Fifth, he must fight a nominal Dem
ocratic opposition, as corrupt and evil
as the Republican machine; an oppo-
sition which has existed for the sole
purpose of filling boards of election
supervisors and other bipartisan in
stitutions with the least possible en-
baraSsment to the machine.
Sixth, he must fight Indifference and
inaction on the part of the people
whose agent he is. That is, after all,
his greatest obstacle. No city in
America parallels Philadelphia rec
ord for criminal indifference to its
government. This gas deal happens
to be a particularly brazen and often
sive job, but it is no worse than
same machine has been perpetrating
for twenty years. And Philadelphia
did not care. It went on its way
stolidiy, content to let gfafters steal
its elections, steal the State, corrupt
good men, and debase it's government
to the most unspeakab1e means of
personal profit. They are aroused to-
day. How long will their indigna-
tion last? Maybe until the gas steal
is beaten. But the most hopeful dc
not expect it to last two years, and
the machine has two full years in
which to make ready for the next i'm
portant city election.
IN the meantime, what support can
the mayor expect? Half a dozen re-
form associations will dissipate their
force by working separately. The
Ledger, the Record, the North Ameri-
can. the Bulletin, and the Press, un-
til the next election, will all be his
press agents, but, once the machine
makes the slightest condescension to
deeency, once it finds a municipal
IPennypacker to tempt the eomplaisant
the Press. certainly, and perhaps one
OF the other papers, will shut their
eyes to the fraud behind this shield
and contribute eli their strength to
install the machine more firmly than
ever
