From the Spectatof)

The cab-str;ke has continued throughout
the week, but without any perceptlble r@estlt,
except a certain Inconvenience at the rail-
way stations. Tie associated cab-owners
contihus to declare that they cannot submit
to the terms demanded, and the associated
drivers have absolutely no meAns Of enforc-
ing them. The Magistrates pttnish intllrldn-
tion by heavy fines, and Threaten imprison-
mtnt, and in the absence Of intimidation
here are hundreds of qualified drivers ready
to accept the owHers' terms. 1t is believed
that in o few days there will be as many cabs
as ever in the streets, and that the trade will
remain Oil attractive one to those who drive
their own cabs, and a very hard aud risky one
for all but the pick of those who have to hire
them. We are not quite contented with the
result Success is for the few III all trades
and all professions, but if the State fixes
prices it should see that the average n"n,
who is then IA servant of the community, Sc
cures an average livelihood. The result, 1t
is final. is one more proof among many that
London Is the worst place III the world to
strike in. 1t is TOO full Of men ready to do
anything, and too haughtily Indifferent to
anything like menace. If all the horses in
London we're to die OH Monday, by Thursday
all who wanted conveyance would be carried
in skiIfully contrived machines. The rush OF
London life is like t. rush of water. 1t
seems to part for the man who swims against
it, but be browns.
The situation in Servia, which had become
intolerable, has ended in a coup d'etdt,
advised 10y the ex-King Milan, though nom
inally decreed by King Alexander. The
Radical majority, consisting mainly of igno-
rant peasants, desire to abolish the Army, to
suppress all direct taxes, and to change the
dynasty; and on Monday, therefore, tae King
abolished their legal power. That is to say,
he suspended the Constitution Of 1888, under
which everybody votes, and revived the
Constitution Of 1869, under which nobody
votes who has not paid direct taxes, and the
Kin. dominates one third Of the Skuptshina.
The voting, moreover, is not BY ballot, the
Press is completely enslaved, and the King
can remove the Judges. Immediately after
the decree, the King appointed a new Council
of State, superseded all important Judges,
and .SuppreS.ed all newspapers. He TO lowed
up these strong measures by arreSting the
great Radical leader Taschitch, by appointing
a strong-fsted Premier, Nicola Christitch,
and by Selling a great stock Of cartridges in
possession of the militia. The Army, with
which the ex-King is popu ar, carried out
these orders with ~alacrity Belgrade remain
ed quiet, and it is believed that the villagers,
though exaspcrated, will be unable to rebel.
Order, III fact, leigIs III Sefvia, and as we
, 1894-06-30

have argued elsewhere, we do not see. if the
King and his father can avoid assassins, why
it should not continue to reign. In a civil
sation like that of Servia, the Army Is the
only living force. Austria anil Russia though
interested, remain passive spectators,

A simple Fire Escape.

A simple, easily procured, inexpen-
sive and practical means of escape from
upper stories may be found in stout
duck sack and a strong MANILA rope.
The sack should be deep and wide
enough to hold several persons and have
a rope well bodnd around the top to
which the rope bail is attached. If no
appliance be provided to hold stout
sail across the window on the inside,
then several wraps must be taken around
some article of furniture, wife and
children dumped into the sack, the hus-
band paying out the rope and letting
them down. The sack is then drawn
up, when the remaining occupant goes
into the sack with the slack end OF the
rope, and paying it out let's himself
down. Rope and sack will pass unhurt
past considerable sheets of flame from
windows below. and IL occasionally
treated to strong solution of alum wa
ter, or even strong brine, are of difficult
ignition. The deep sack dispels the feel
ing of fear in not beholding the dizzy
height and also protects from fame in
passing windows. Every window should
have strong staples into which rail
can be inserted and which should be
ever ready il needed. A cool head could
thus let down, in many cases, numerous
loads, and for that matter there may be
rope enough to allow all the paying out
and pulling up to be done by some one
on the ground. Private instructions
should be in every room, and each oc-
cupant should be made familiar with
the working. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

vERDuaous LAWNS AND FOLIAGE.
On Englishman Tells About the Careful
Gardening In His Native Land.

IN Englishmam Tells About the Careful
Gardening In His Native Land.
Lewis Rose, practical gardener,
came to this country 10 years ago from
England, where he was a farmer, and
be trims and cuts according to English
rules. Speaking of this country, he said:
You Americans do not know what
good lawns are. In England the houses
Of the gentry are surrounded by acres
Of green sward that looks just like vel
vet. They NOV the grass with a ma
chine every week, and after the mower
comes heavy stone roller that rolls it
down as fiat as piece of paper. 1t is
Just as smooth as that table cover there
stretched over the table. The roller is
to press down aud heal any little break
Or tear in the turf, made by the machine.
If you break the turf anywhere, it is
just like breaking your skin. You
must fix it directly, or there will be
sore place on the lawn. Even if it gets
we'll there will always be a scar there
unless you mend it carefully. You
should see the English lawns after
showerl The green is beautiful, and
every blade of grass stands up straight,
but all the little. blades are of exactly
the same length, and they look soft and
level. The perfume of the new grass
is delightful. They have windows gen.
erally'that come down to the floor, and
on the walls outside the house are
climbing rose bushes all in bloom. The
combined odor of roses and new mown
grass is very pleasant.
You have to go at lawn as If 1t
were a piece of embroidery you were
at work on. First you must have good
rich, decaying mold for the grass to
live on. You cannot make grass grow
in sand. Then as the grass comes up
you must go over it step by step and
dig out all the coarse grass and weeds
and be sure to mend each place after
digging up the roots. Then you will be-
gin to find patches where no grass APP
pears. You want to have grass seed
handy and SOW these places with it.
water my lawns twice day-in the
morning before the sun gets fairly up
and at night after it goes down. NOW
theigrass every week. After you have
a good lawn you must watch every
inch of it. You have no idea how easy.
it is to let patch here and there get
poisoned to death. Whea. you find any
foreign substance on lawn that is like
ly to poison the grass, you want to dig
it up, put fresh soil and fertilizer nn-
der it and fit new and healthy bit of
turf in the hole you have made. Then
keep an eye on it afterward and water
it we'll. The rich, decoinposed sweep
ings from the stable make the best fer
tiliZer.
In pruning trees you want to cut off
every long shoot and make your trees
compact and bushy like full blown
rose. Even wealthy Americans let their
trees get scrawny, and they don't al
ways cut them enough to prevent decay
in some of the branches. 1t is easy to
trim trees if you understand this prin-
ciple. And the only reason have been
successful with my lawns is that have
been willing to take pains with then
and do lot of hard work.-New York
Sun.

The results of numerous experiments
made with scientific care by Russian
physician to determine what, If any,
are the physiological effects produced
by music are thus summarized: An in
fiuence ON the circulation of blood is no.
ticed, the pressure sometimes rising and
sometimes falling, though the action of
musical tones and pipes both on animals
and men expresses itself for the most
part by increased frequency of the beats
of the heart; the variations in the cir
culation consequent upon musical
sounds coincide with changes in the
breathing, though they may also be OBJ
served quite independently of it; the
variations in the blood pressure are de-
pendent on the pitch and loudness of
the sound and on tone color; in these
variations of the blood pressure also the
peculiarities of the individuals, whether
men or lower animals, are plainly APP
parent, and even nationality, in the case
of man, Is claimed to exhibit some eff
fect.-New York Tribune.

A highly respectable and widely re-

parish not far from Boston received a
communication from New York house
dealing in wines and liquors not long
ago, saying that they would be very
glad to furnish him with anything he
needed in their line, and as an induce

were aware that the arrival In coun-

wild Plunge OF Horse and Man.

Mr.. Richard Sutherland of Anderson
county had an experience Sunday after
noon that he will not soon forget. He
was approaching the bridge at Bonds
mill, In that county, when the horse
which he was riding took fright and
leaped over an embankment 80 feet high
into the river. AS the horse went over
he turned complete somersault, throw
ing the rider headlong into the river.
The wonder is that both man and horse
were not instantly killed. Mr.. Suther-
land received some severe bruises, es-
pecialiy about the lower limbs, but his
injuries are not of serious nature. The
horse came out without scratch. Lou

LAST GALE FROM roPULIsTs.
Anarchist Hess and Gambler Thompson
Address . small Gstheriur

The Pops grand rally advertised for
Pioneer place last night turned out TO be a
big fizzle, ss only about 500 showed up,
many of them being Republicans from
neighhoring business houses. The speak
ers were the small fry, and when call
was made for three cheers, fully a dozen
voices could be heard.
Anarchist Hess, with q flaming red
neektie. mounted dry goods box and
began spouting to about fifty admirers,
and by his cries attracted few more, and
kept on bravely until the arrival of the
crowd from the Popuists' headquarters,
on South Third and Washington streets,
when he waved warm. lie cautioned his
hearers TO look out for chicanery from the
Republicans, and said he knew positively
that they intended voting $40 non-resi-
dents. and said: "Don't let them do il.
boys; stick up for your rights, no matter
what the consequences may be" He told
the boys" TO keep a strict lookout Tor
bogus tickets, and instructed them how TO
vote Before he finished his speech" he
drove number away BY hi. vaporing.
When he did finish he introduced Jack
Thompson. the gambler, as the next repre-
sentative from the Twsniy-fifth district
Thompson made the same speech ne has
inflicted upon the Popu.ists since the
opening of the campaign.
He said that the American flag was
noshing but = hollow moekery, and that

escorted him to the hall where be was 10
speak The procession Was accompanied
by TWO brass bands, and the air Was nsieo
with music and cheers for the Republican
party.
At the hall Mr.. Piles faced an audience
that flied every foot OF room IN the large
building. and when he arose 10 speak ne
was obliged to stand for several minutes
until the crowd had worked on some OF
its overlooking enthusiasm in cheers Tor
the speaker, the Republican party and the
county ticket Mr.. Piles made one OF the
best speeches he has ever delivered ana IN
eloquent language told the people OF the
danger of Populism and the menace OF
Democratic control of the government
He devoted some time TO discussion
Of the tariff. dealing particularly with the
effect of the policy of the Democratic
party on coal mining interests and Illus
trated his argument by stating to the
audience the fact that the Black Diamond
Coal Company had but recently lost con-
tract, which il had held for the last SIX
years, for supplying San Francisco firm
with 5000 tons of coal a month, the new
Democratic tariff enabling British Col
umhia coal company to underbid Ameri-
can producers. He also stated that the
Black Diamond Coal Company has
been compelled TO close down one of It's
mines because of the loss of this contract
He said that this matter came close 10 the
homes of miners, and il was for them 10
say today whether or not they would aid
by their votes in keeping the Democratic
party in power-the party which was clos
ing down their mines and throwing them
out of em ployment.
Mr.. Piles speech was received through
out with enthusiastic appreciation. and
the people of Black Diamond showed that
they were fully alive TO the danger which
threatened them if the Democratic party
was continued in power, and that they
were ready and anxious TO do their part
in the election of the Republican ticket
today.
Mr. Piles returned to the city on .
special train. which made the run In forty
three minutes.

Republicans Hear Their Legislative
Candidates. and Lewis Holds Forth.
The last rally of the campaign was held
by the Republicans of Ballard last night
in the Odd Fellows hale The Democrats
and Populists also held rally, and the
former had an extra attraction in the per-
son of James Hamilton Lewis, who held
forth in room over Cors Il Wegener's
saloon TO an audience OF about fifty.
Albert Burrows. candidate for the legis-
lature from the Forty-taird representative
district. spoke very acceptably for about
twenty minutes upon local issues. de
promised that he. Loggie and Goddard
would work without ceasing for the Lake
Washington canal. He discussed free
schools and legislation relating thereto
quite fully and concluded his address by
defending the Republican ticket from the
slanderous charges made by the telegraph

ceived with cheers.
w. f. Humphrey gained the attention
of his audience by telling story OF Mark
Twain, who, when asked about the three
greatest liars in America. said Bill Nye
was one and Eli Perkins was the other
two. Mark Twain never lived in Seattle
or be would have said the Telegraph was q
greater liar than the three combined. His
defense of Van de Vanter and HASTE was
received with loud applause, and bis refer
ence to Prof Layhue's certainty of cleo
ton was received with cheers and
prolonged applause. His address was
concluded by an able discourse on

porous condition of business under Re-
publican administration with the hard
times since the Democrats came into

superintendent, Was called for and re-
ceived an ovation.
