streets made of brick, the corpora

prietors to contribute thier share
by small yearly contributions. We

Sunday last when the eXcur-

no doubt had sorhe bad creditors
in the crowd remark that some
of the gay excursionists would do
much better to settle their little

spend their few dollars on pie

their little bills when they return
if any cash is left, or the merchant
may have to wait until his little
bills get big.

Yesterday afternoon the Seattle Humane
Society sent the following communication
to Chief Jackson:
OFFICE OF SEATTLE HUMANE SOCIETY,"
ORGANIZED APRIL Z, 1891.
SKATTLE. WASH, July %, 1893.
To Andrew Jackson. esq, Chief Of Police
Department of the City of Seattle-Sir:
The Seattle Humane Society hereby calls
your attention to the violations of the act
of the general assembly Of the state of
Washington, entitled, AN act for the pre-
vention Of cruelty to children. animals,
fowls and birds, and providing punish
ment therefor. 2 approved February %.
1888. to be fOundin the laws of Washing
ton for 1888 page 40, which have recently
occurred at Leschi park and Madison
park, in this city, by torturing and tor
menting animals and carrying them
or causing them to be carried in
in an unnecessarily cruel and inhuman
manner. to-wit: BY binding dogs and
monkeys to balloons and carving them
high into the air; and as such illegal acts
are threatened repetition at these parks to-
morrow, Sunday, July %, 1893, you are
and, If need be. to make the arrest Of the
persons found committing such cruelties.
Yours respectfully,
DAVID E. DURIR,
First Vice President
A prominent member of the Humane
Society said yesterday:
Complaint was made to this society
last Monday of these exhibitions, and it
was reported that the forced ascension of
the dog at Leschi park was particularly
brutal. 1t was reported that when the
dog was tied to the parachute he was
seized with terror and fought to get free,
a. he had been taken up before. When
the balloon started it was dragged quite a
distance and the dog was battered and
bruised, and finally when the balloon
arose the animal Was taken up into the
clouds ana then dropped. understood
it landed in tho lake and came near
drowning. hampered AZ II was with the
parachute. Mayor Ronald tells me, how
ever. that he understood that the dog
dropped on the land and was killed. This
society promptly advised the professors
having the respective exhibitions in
charge that complaints had been made
and that the dog and MONKEY
part OF the performances must be
omitted in future or the persons RESPONSE
bic would be arrested and prosecuted. No
notice was taken of these communications
other than conspicuous advertisement
in the morning papers, stating that the
monkey would so up as usual on sunday,
as there would be police protection 10
prevent the meddlesome int rierence OF
the Humane Society," This is an insult
to the police department and defiance to
the Seattle Humane Society. as well as 10
the moral sentiment of the community.
Chief Jackson says he had promised no
police protection and on the contrary he
has assured tho society that 1t may de-
pend upon the support OF the police de-
pa,,ment in enforcing the law; and Mayor
Ronald gives hearty assurance to the same
effect.
