CaddO street, W. A. Pride of the
firm of J. NJ. Golledge K CO. had
very narrow escape from broken
bones. The ladder on the roof slip

fifteen feet when it caught on the
top of an extension ladder reaching
from the ground. Mr. Pride was
rescued from his perilous position
by parties who witnessed the affair
and found to be considerably bruised
up. He is reported today as resting
quietly, and we trust will be all
right again in few days.

Profit in Raising Capons.

''Now that the hard times have walked
people up to the profits of to be made out
of poultry raising, why not branch out a
little and raise capons for San Francisco
epicures, says E. w. Sanderson in the San
Jose Pathfinder. In the spring Of 1898
shipped to San Francisco one and half
dozen of young ROSTERS and got 50 per
dozen-less freiqht and commission. The
next week I shipped one dozen capons
from the same flock and the same age and
got SIS per dozen, a clear profit of so cents
each on my capons. The next one of my
neighbors sent down some Cochin capons,
about nine months old. He got $15 per
dozen. now ask the question, Will it
pay?'
'3If you ask poultry dealer about capons
he will tell you there is no market for
capons on this coast. The reason there is
no market is there are no capons. If a
club was organized that would produce 100
dozen capons of some large breed and give
the selling or them TO some good. RESPONSE
bic dealer in the city it would not be long
before he would have his regular capon
customers, who would pay more per pound
for good capon than they would for turkey,
and then that dealer would have to keep
capons. And how would you feel if you
had say 200 capons TO SELL that would
average twelve pounds each, at Is or 20
cents per pound ?'

prenaring Fruits for Market.

The value of any kind of fruit in the
markets of the world depends largely or is
mainly influenced by its size and appear
ance, said B. F. Walton at the Yuba City
meeting of the State Horticultural Society.
Other things being equal, the greater and
more uniform the size the more money the
given grade will bring. The soil and eli
mate of California enable the average fruit
grower to produce very large proportion
of his fruit of the more valuable Sizes but
so far the attention of few, comparatively,
has been called to the importance of a
thorough and uniform system of grading
as one of the most important steps in the
preparation of all kinds of fruit for market
In preparing cured fruit for market, to
insure the most satisfactory results all
fruit should be thoroughly ripe before
gathering for the dryer; poor or lmper-
fect)y ripened fruit never makes choice
dried fruit. 1t should be graded by hand
as to size, to insure uniformity in drying;
smoothly cut, if cut at all, to avoid ragged
edges; carefully bleached and dried, then
taken to the warehouse, passed through
an effective grader and each grade placed
in its appropriate bin, where it is to remain
until sold, when each grade should be
nicely packed and branded with the appro-
pirate label generally adopted for it. To
make these successive steps practical
among ordinary or small fruit-growers,
association and organization become at
once desirable and a real necessity.
From the experience of the past four
years the cooperative plan of curing and
packing fruit has proven most satisfactory
to growers and can be greatly extended, as
it brings all the advantages of machinery,
warehouse and other appliances possessed
by the most extensive orchardist within
reach and available to the smallest grower.
1t is strongly recommended as the most
effective means to secure satisfactory re-
turns for all our cured products. 1t ma
terially reduces the cost of production and
formity and superiority of quality and
gives to the average grower much wider
and varied knowledge OF his business.

NENMAN'S QUEER STORY.
Peculiar Conduct Of Deputy
Sheriff Riley and Marion
Wilson.
investigation to Be Made
Into the Case.

Judge CampbelPs court wisnessed the
disclosure of peculiar story yesterday.
Peter Newman arrived from the East last
Friday and on Saturday night he was ar
rested for committing an assault with a
deadly weapon upon All How on Dupont
street and also charged with carrying a
concealed weapon. When searched $77 and
a gold watch were found in his pockets.
Newman employed Attorneys Frey and
Kenny to defend him, but when his case
was called on Monday morning he told
them he bad dispensed with their services.
The case was continued till yesterday,
and, when it was called, Attorney Rlor-
dan, special prosecutor said he was ready
to proceed. The Judge asked Newman if
he was represented by an attorney, and in
reply he made remarkable statement.
He said in effect that he was visited in the
City Prison by Marion Wilson and Ed
Riley, Deputy Sheriff. They protested
great interest in his case, and told him
they would procure an attorney for him
and witnesses and get him out on bail if
he would sign an order on the property
Clerk to deliver over the ST. and gold
watch and chain to them. He gave them
an order on Tuesday, and they went and
got his property, but he had never seen or
heard of them since.
Judge Campbell directed the court
stenographer to take Newman's statement
in full and then continued the case after
instructing Attorneys Frey and Kenny to
make an investigation and report the re-
suit to Chief Crowley.
Clerk Moffitt in charge of Chief
Crowley's office, remembered Riley COM
ing to him with the order on Tuesday
morning. Motfitt went to Newman in the
city prison and asked him if he had signed
the order and he said Eyes, | want my
friend Mr.. Riley to get my property
Moffitt consulted Property Clerk Cullen
and at his suggestion Newman was taken
to the property clerks Office, where Riley
was waiting. He was again asked if he
wanted his property to be handed to Riley
and he again replied in the affirmative
and Riley got it.
Attorney Frey said last night that he
would swear out warrants this morning
for the arrest of Wilson and Riley on the
charge OF obtaining money and goods un-
der false pretenSes.

ALAMEDA.

DR.. w. II. Robinson, who has been
dubbed "Stopover" on account of the sew
eral hundred suits brought against the
Southern Pacific for refusal to sell him
stopover privileges between Alameda and
San Francisco, has concluded to direct
some of his attention to Captain Thomp-
son of the Artesian Water Works.
The doctor has brought suit in Justice
Swasey's court to recover $110, basing his
claim for damages on article XIV of the
State constitution, which provides that a
water company must charge only such
rates for water as are fixed by the authori-
ties of the municipality in which its mains
are laid
The point is that in July, 1898, he re-
quested the company by notice in writing
to supply his house at 2237 San Antonio
avenue with water at the lawful price and
rate, instead OF which, according to the
complaint, the company extorted from
him SO, not as a charge or rate fixed by
law, but for tapping the main, demand
which is declared to have been illegal.
Being deprived of the use and supply of
water so necessary to himself and family,
says the doctor, he suffered loss and dam
age in the sum of 500. He therefore prays
for this $1oO and the $40 paid under duress
and protest.
The suit was first brought against the
Artesian Water Works, corporation, but
the attorneys, Gator and Majors, learned
that the works were not incorporated and
the complaint was amended by substitute
ing the name of Captain R. R. Thompson.
Gray Discharged.
George E. Gray, who was taken into
custody Tuesday on suspicion of having
stolen 1907 in coin from Mrs. S. Jones, who
resides on Lafayette street, had his ex-
q f,air lscf nor opd
charged. Gray formerly roomed with
Mrs. Jones, and when he left several days
ago for San Francisco Mrs. Jones missed
her money, which she kept in canvas bag
and two purses. No testimony was pro-
duced to show that Gray was in any
manner connected with the theft, and the
case was dismissed.
Street-Opening Litigation.
Mrs. Emile G. Cohen, widow of the late
A. A. Cohen, has put in a claim against
the city for $S7, being $57 so for costs in
CURED IN Lincoln avenue and 500 so in the
Santa Clara avenue opening litigation.
After contest in both cases the improve
ments were voluntarily undertaken.
Suit for the Recovery of Damages.
Frederick Mondler, who sustained nu-
merous bruises about the head and body
by being pushed off moving train at San
Rafael last Sunday, has retained Lawyer
c. NJ. Jennings, with instructions to bring
suit against the North Pacific Coast Rail
road for $1,000 damages.
The Trustees Annual Vacation.
The Board of City Trustees will enjoy a
vacation during the week following the
Fourth of July, hence there will be no
meeting on Monday, the sth prox. 1t has
long been the custom for the board to take
rest for one week every summer.
New Point Raised

new point in the library ENHANCEMENT,
which is that the warrant drawn by the
old board of trustees is illegal.

Rules for Fatteniny Fowls.

Recently L have been favored with a
statement from one of our most successful
poultry fatteners, as to the rules which
guide him, and the methods he adopts to
secure success. The following is sum-
mary of his observations:
1. In fattening fowls the actual quantity of
food supplied goes only little way in the pro-
duction of flesh, as compared with the condi-
lions under which the birds are kept.
2. There is considerable difference in the
readiness with which fowls fatten, even of the
same variety. In.selecting for this purpose q
lsrge-framed bird should be chosen, and one
that has well grown.
g. The birds thus selected should be placed
In large run (outside), and for the first three
or four weeks fed on no more than one meal a
day, then gradually increasing the quantity
until they have as much as they can eat, when
they are finished off by examining, which, in
itself, occupies three weeks. The object of this
treatment is to reduce them as much as posi-
bic at first, and then gradually build up the
flesh upon the frame. This method is not suit
able for young chickens, which are fed right
on, but for large fowls to be killed about
Christmas.
4. When examining commences each bird
should be placed in q separate pen, or half a
dozen OF the same age ana sex together, in q
quiet, sweet, and, if possible, rather dark room
or shed, and for the first few days be fed from
Q trough, finishing off by the crammer. The
or fine Kentish ground oats, mixed with a
little fat, and made with milk into a paste
when feeding from the trough, and like very
thick cream when used with the crammer
The fat should be small in quantity at first
but may be gradually increased during the
process.
8. Before bird is crammed each meal the
crop is felt. and if there remains any food in it
from the previous meal no food is given until
the next time of feeding. Observations should
be made as to the quantity assimilated so as to
give fowl each time near as possible Just
about as much as it can digest. Should bird
show any signs of sickness during the process
1t should be placed in an open run for twenty
four hours without food. To aid digestion grit
may be kept in q dish before each pen, and
boiled nettles mixed with the food twice or
thrice week as an aid in keeping the blood
cool Young chickens may be fed thrice day
but for older birds twice day is much to be
preferred.
After the birds are killed, to prepare for
which they should be kept without food for
thirty-six hours, the blood is drained from the
body, and the fowls are plucked Immediately
The meat is then drawn by the hands forward
to the breast, and the legs tied back to keep it
in place. The bird, while still warm, is dipped
into cold water, and thus becomes stiff, but it
is an Improvement TO wrap the body in linen
cloths dipped in milk or water.
The above indicates the methods adopted for
producing the best table fowls, and while en-
failing trouble and care, brings its own re-
ward, for the specimens SO produced COM
