CABS AND CAB-MEN,
An Industry Which Gives Employment to
Many Thousands of LondOners.

Many Thousands of Londoners.
The fast times in which we live hardly
remember that ''cabs," especially ham
som cabs, are almost q modern inven-
= ;oII,- IL IIUUIo wntio ago the
london which is now served by about
$4,000 hackney carriages was destitute
of any at all. 1t is true that the history
of public carriages goes back very
long way into tho remote distance. For
instance, carriages of kind were to be
hired in Rome under the Emperors. The
word carriage" is probably to be traced
to the Latin cdrTHcd. During the Mid
die Ages, however, they ceased to be
used, for in consequence of feudal Gus
toms and feudal authority they were
prohibited as being likely to enervate
men and render them unfit for military
service. Such fear suggests kind of
parallel between the old and new ways
of training athletes.
The renascence of public carriages
may be dated from the reign of Louis
XIV, and was due at that time to a GER
tain Nicolas Savage who, living at the
sign of St. Fiacre in the Rue st. Martin,
modern French tiacre. Oddly enough as
it may seem. hackney coaches were first
established in London in 1926 by re-
tired sea captain named Bailey, who
was man of ingenious mind and enter
prising. His vehicles used to stand at
the MAY Pole" in the Strand, and
numbered no more than four. But they
patronized, that they grew rapidly. In
1857 there were so; in 1862, 200; in 1854,
800. From time to time regulations
were made limiting their numbers; but
as the French Kings could not stay the
growth of Paris, and as Mrs. Darlington
failed with the Atlantic, the tide of
hackney carriages was not to be him
continued to flow.
Yet, in spite of the rapid increase in
! the number of these coaches. there was
for long time little improvement in
their form. 1t was not until 1920 that
the French ''cabriolet de place." whence
comes our abbreviated and familiar
''cab," was INTRODUCED into England
| from the other side of the Channel. In
shape it was kind of hooded gig, and
allowed no more than one passenger, as
| the driver sat inside. But change was
coming. In 1884 the gondola of London,
the hanson cab, was patented by Han
som, and by its great superiority it came
rapidly to the front.
In 1888 there were 1896 hansoms and
4,O13 "growl ers, or four-wheelers, tech
nically described by the police as clar-
ences, and year by year they continue to
! ncrease.-Murray's Magazine.

Cattle from the three northern counties
of Arizona for the past three months are
variously estimated at from 80, 900 TO
Is, 900 head. One firm alone, the Aztec
cattle company, whose stock ranges in
both Apache and Yavapal counties has
shipped 5000 head. The average price
per head received has been between ST.

named there has been put in circulation

A new and strange cattle disease has
appeared in the vicinity of Marshall, Mo.
Several lays since il was noticed that six
head of cattle were suffering with badly
swollen tongues, and a few days after
five more head were taken. The cows
tongues protruded from their mouths so
that they could hardly drink. Mich
cows would dry up and not give a drop of
milk. One animal, so far, has died from
the disease.

MANCHESTER, Eng, Sept. 3.-The
Guardian in its commercial article says:
Although there Is occasionally an in
crease in inquiry, the market on the
whole is not active. Sales only mod
crate. Prices yesterday yielded a point
in some departments, especially the
yarn department. There is moderate
demand for minor foreign and home
markets, for the tendency ia slightly in
favor of buyers. Effective demand for
yarn is poor. Cloth is irregular. best
plain goods were sold. Prices firm in
most other lines. Orders were wanted.
The position of manufacturers regarding
quotations has decidedly improved,
owing to a decline in cotton yarn, but
the chances of selling important guam
titles are not frequent.
