ONE MILLION-STAMPS.
An Extraordinary Charity Crazo,
Which Was Expected to Benefit an
Old Lady.
Prom the Philadelphia Press.
Who has not within the last half genera
tion heard of an old lady who was to be ad
mitted to a home when she could produce a
million canceled postage stamps? The old
lady's namo was never told, nor was her
place of abode located any more definitely,
but for yours the collection has been going
on. This morning carries chagrin to hun
dreds of people, not only in Philadelphia
and other towns in this State, but in Chi
cago, Boston, Baltimore, New York and
Washington, who have been enthusiastic in
adding to that one of the million stamp col
lections which was for “an old lady in Phil
adelphia.” The old lady has been found,
but she never wanted to go into a “home”
and novel - lioard of any particular “homo”
to which she could secure admission with a
million stamps.
Jlrs. Elieu Peterman is “the old lady in
Philadelphia” for whom the latest collec
tion, started in March last, has been in
progress.
In Roxborough and Germantown the
craze spread to the school children, and the
proudest soholar in the class was the pupil
who i-mild show up the greatest number of
stamps. Iti Sunday schools, too, the sub
ject was agitated, and tho collection was
largely increased by their contributions.
3lxny i>orsons who were asked to save their
stamps to aid the old lady to get into a
•■home" Immediately offered money, but it
was respectfully declined.
About a week ago me absurdity of tho
attempt and tho blind way in which it was
lloiug conducted dawned upon the mind of
one of the young ladies who had been fore
most in swelling the collection. Tlie more
she thought about it, tho stronger became
her belief that she and her friend were dupes
of some ono, not ueoeesarilay dishonest, but
certainly not well balanced. For five
mouths she had been begging stamps from
hundreds of hor friends, in tho unthinking
lieliof that she was assisting in a grand
work. She is one of Germantown’s society
belles, and her two pretty sisters were also
in the same predicament, having followed
her loud in tho collecting. They did not
want to return the stamps for fear of being
laughed at, but they determined simply to
stop collecting, and turn over the stamps
already collected. This they did, giving
30,000 stamps to Dr J. G. Fling, of Penn
street, Germantown.
THE GERMANTOWN DEPOT.
Since the collection commenced one of
tho principal stamp depots was Dr. Fling’s
residence. Here he would almost daily re
ceive thousands {if stamps from persons
who had received them from other persons
who had received them from their friends,
many of whom had in turn received them
from other persons, etc. In Dr. Eling’s mail
also were packages of stamps from scores
of towns in this State. Reading, Harris
burg, Scranton, Mauch Chunk, Pottsville,
Norristown, West Chester and Chester sent
a very respectable quota. All the stamps
sent by mail were neatly tied
up in packages of 100 each. At all hours of
the day Dr. Fling’s door bell would call him
to the door to take stamps from persons of
all sizes and conditions. After Dr. Fling
had received what he thought was about 50,-
000,000 stamps lie began to wonder whether,
after all, they would do any good. He him
self did not know tho old lady for whose
benefit they were being given, nor her resi
dence, nor her condition in life. He under
stood that he was to t urn them over to
his wife, who was to give them to a friend
who know a friend of a friend of the old
lady, and this friend in turn was to give
them to somebody who had started the col
lation who would see that the old lady was
admitted to a “home.” It took a reporter
two days to trace the stamps to Dr. Fling,
from whom was obtained this information
as a clue by which to ascertain whether the
old ludv was alive, dead or a myth. When
Dr. Fling reads this article he will know for
thetii-st time the name and whereabouts of
the old lady whom ho was helping to get
into the home which she never saw and
about which she had but so vaguely heard.
It was an easy task to find Mrs. Peterman
when tho string of middle-women was run
out
THE OLD LADY FOUND.
Mrs. roternian was found occupying a
single room in the old two-story* brick
dwelling on the southeast corner of Trank
ford road and Allen street, and the neigh
bors to whoso kiuduess she owes so much
are almost as poor as herself. She seemed
surpris si when told what had been done for
her. It was supposed by some that she
made repeated applications to be admitted
into a “home,” but tlmt not being a desira
ble patient she had been told that to secure
the admission she would have to collect
1,000,000 stumps, an almost impossible task.
Mho told the reporter tlmt she had never
tried to enter any home, although her
trie tubs wanted her to go. Bhe is the last of
her family, having buried her second hus
band fifteen years ago. Her son died about
a year ago, leaving several small children,
the oldest being about 17 years old. This
hoy and ono 0 years old pay the rent of
rooms for their grandmother and their
mother by selling papers. Tho oldest is
somewhat of an invalid and is not capable
of hard work. The !)-year-o)d boy is trying
to enter Girard College in the fall. He is
tho p‘t of his grandmother, and she takes a
groat interest in Ids studies. Both of Mrs.
Peterman’s sons, Andrew and Janies John
son, died of disease contracted in the war
of the rebellion. Tho family now live
mostly on wbat is given them, and there is
nodoubt in the minds of the neighbors that
thov are worthy of assistance.
-Mrs. l’eterman said she did not believe
•hero was anything to lie gained bv collect
mg stamps, but. knew nothing about it, ex
repting Miss Prince’s vague statement that
she rail heard of an instance where a boy
"as admitted to a “homo” for a million
stamps.
.Miss Prince, bad 'induced some other por
“ms to begin the collection, and soon there
"ere many volunteers.
SOME OK THE CONTRIBUTORS,
lire. Elmer Smith, of 955 Warnock
, ro't, was one of the first in the work; slio
n.u contributed about 30,000 stamps ob
tained from John VV.manmker’s. Mrs.
Mi keiizie, of 4700 Germantown avenue,

A BRAVE FRENCH DOG.
One Who Led tho Life of a Soldior and
Booamo Celebrated.
Prom the Denver Tribune.
hi 177'.) a young dog, who apparently had
master, came, no one knew how, to Caen,
f ranco; and met there a regiment of grena
’ "' l h starring for Italy. Urged on, appor
ri'fl.v by destiny, he followed them. Ho was
to all appearance n regulur street cur, dirty
•mil ugiy, hut he had such a bright cx-
I roxsion and sis mod so intelligent that they
mu not hesitate to take him. His new com
panions forced him to act a* sentinel, to obey
w<n -1 r, to keep stop, to become accustomed to
'"7 11,1 °I firearms, to obey roll call, anil
~ "tucr duties tho soldier* worn called

• ret us his regiment was commanded to do.
going to Italy Moustache crossed Habit.
* i Hard at the cost of unknown hardships
Gi.l cuemuped with Uio regiment abom
Alexandria. It was here that he was to
accomplish his first great feat of arms.
A detachment of Austrians hidden iu
the Vailev of Balbo advanced in the
night to surprise tho grenadiers and was
heard by this vigilant dog as he was making
his rounds. The soldiers were awakened
by his barking. In a moment every one
was on foot and the enemy dislodged. To
reward Moustache the Colonel had his namo
inscribed on the regimental rolls, and or
dered that he should have every day the
rations of a soldier. Hi? ordered that t here
should be put on his neck a collar bearing
the name of the regiment, and the barber
was ordered to wash and comb him every
day.
Home time afterward there was a slight
engagement, in which Moustache conducted
himself very bravely. He here received
his first wound—a bayonet thrust in the
shoulder. It must be said here that Mous
tache was never wounded except in front.
About this time lie quarreled with the
grenadiers and deserted because they had
left him tied in the garrison. Taking refuge
with a company of chasseurs, he saw a dis
guised Austrian spy enter tho French camp.
Moustache, forgetting the insult he had re
ceived, welcomed the stranger by springing
at his throat with much fierceness. This
action astonished all at first, but they had
time for reflection, and then remembered
tho sagacity of tho faithful dog. The
stranger was arrested, searched and found
to boa spy.
Moustache continued the series of his ex
ploits. At the battle of Austerlitz, seeing
the color-bearer surrounded by enemies, he
flew to his rescue, defended him as well as
lie could, and when the soldier fell pierced
with bullets, enveloped in liis ow n colors,
Moustache, seizing with his teeth that part
of the glorious flag which he could get.
fairly flow past the enemy, and brought
back to bis company the blood-stained rem
nants. It must be said here that a charge
of musketry had taken off one of his legs.
This beautiful action merited honor. They
took off the collar he wore, and Marshal
Lannes ordered that they put on him a red
ribbon, with a copper medal bearing this
inscription on one side: “He lost a leg at
the battle of Austerlitz and saved the colore
of his regiment.” On the other sido it read:
“Moustache should be loved and honored as
a brave French dog.” As it was easy to
recognize him by his ribbon and medal
they decided that, in whatever regiment ho
should present himself, he should receive
the portion of a soldier. He took part yet
in several battles, and among others that
of Essling (1809). He made with the dra
goons two campaigns, and the brave dog
fought every time ho had tlie opportunity.
Ho always walked in front on the alert,
barking when ho hoard any noise and could
not find out the cause. Iu the Sierra Mo
rena mountains he brought back to camp
the horse of a dragoon who had been killed.
It is said that at several times ho showed
this same act of intelligence. Ho made his
last campaign with tho artillery, and was
killed at the battle of Badajoz, March 11,
1811, at the age of 12 years. They buried
him on tho spot where he fell with his
medal and his ribbon. On the stone which
served as his monument they wrote, “Hero
lies Moustache.” These simple words are
more eloquent than the most pompous epi
taph.
HOW NECKTIES ARE MADE.
A Manufacturer Tells of the Trade and
Its Peculiarities.
Tho designing of silks and satins for neck
ties is a prosession in itself. “There are
special grades and designs of silks and satins
made exclusively for tho necktie trade,”
said a manufacturer to a New York Mail
reporter. “These materials are made from
patterns designed by men who do nothing
but study new things in this line. There aro
from fifty to seventy-live factories in tho
country and ton nr twelve first class makers.
Tho latter usually secure exclusive rights
to uso certain styles of gooils offered to
the American market, or a large portion of
it. But the success of making up such
goods is just like a lottery. Perhaps one
season I hit upon a design that will become
so popular that all the other makers are
forced to adopt it, hut the next season some
ono in Boston or Philadelphia will
make a hit, and lam forced to copy that.
There’s never any telling how a necktie is
going to take until it is fairly on tho mar
ket. Then it depends for success on who
adopts it first. It' he happens to be a swell,
that particular kind of neektio will sell
well.”
“Are tho styles of making up neckties
originated abroad?”
• Not now. They were until about threo
years ago, but now imr styles are superior
to tiio Euroiiean, and they are coming over
here for patterns. However, there is a ten
dency toward English patterns for this sea
son
“There are more than 1,200 girls employed
in this city alono. They work by the piece
and make money more or less according to
their expertness. A good finisher can make
$8 or $9 a week. She takes a necktie after
it is put together and finishes each detail
perfectly so that it is ready to box. Three
different colors of tho same design and same
stylo are twisted together to give tho dealer
an assortment in the one make. The fin
isher must see that all of this kind are
exactly alike in point of finish and make-up.
We have ono girl who does nothing but turn
bands of neckties, and she makes sls a
week. She turns twenty-five or thirty dozon
bands a day.”

We are now offering immense lines of New Straw Hats,
Ribbons, Feathers, etc., which are now being shipped daily
by our New York buyer, and our Mr. Krouskoff, who is now
North to assist in the selection of the Choicest Novelties in
the Millinery Line. It is astonishing but a fact, that we sell
fine Millinery cheaper than any retail store in New York. How
can wc do it? Cannot tell. This is our secret and our suc
cess. Perhaps on account of large clearing out purchases or
perhaps from direct shipments from London or Paris—but no
matter so long as the ladies have all the advantages in stock
and prices.
We are now ready for business, and our previous large
stock will be increased, and we are now offering full lines of
fine Milans in White and Colors, for Ladies, Misses aud
Children in an endless variety of shapes *
