4G Will d just as we'll prOpOrGIOu-
ately, to look as carefully after the
fowls as we do after the cattle. To be
profitable they should be fed notmerely
for existence, but for growth and eggs.
They should be fed for the purpose of
increasing the value of the product.
The intensity of our poultry interests
is hardly understood. Though all farm
ers keep fowls there is very little sys-
tematic work. Were we to take away
from our agriculture the sum total Of
our yearly product of the poultry yard,
we would take away one Of our great
items of revenue.
A Massachusetts, farmer is reported
to be making $4,000 a year out of his
poultry because he has caught On to
the knack Of doing things in just the
right way. The farm is the right place
for chickens, and the nan or the woman
with the right qualifications can make
the fortune if they make the effort.
It is good time to sat a hen-and, yes,
to sell a hen-when the hen is ready.
Part with them as soon as a price can
be obtained which will give a fair re,
turn of profit. 1t is often wise to let
them go when two-thirds grown,
and it seldom, indeed, pays to keep
them after they have reached maturity.
The best ends are attained when the
hens are kept in a good thriving con-
dition. In such condition they will
best resist disease, and all ailments are
best warded off by removing The fowls
togood, warm quarters in cold weather.
Fowls which are overfed are not healthy
neither will they lay regularly.
Perhaps the ducks are getting toe
much corn and not enough vegetables
If they are not laying yet. Although
vegetables are pretty scarce, you can
at least boil up the potato and turniI
pariDgs and thicken the mess with bran
for their morning meal. Ban scalded
with hot milk makes for them an ex
cellent breakfast.
It has been thought that poultry
could not be successfully raised in large
numbers, but the science of breeding
and poultry management has developed
the way with the incubator and the
separating of the flock into small mum
bers. Improved breeds are kept by
thousands by some Of the larger poul
trymen near the cities.
The fattening of fowls for the marke
is a thing which can be done quickly
if the appetite is properly tempud
While thus crowdlng them it pays t.
give them clean food and often, rathe,
than to keep a supply before them al
the time. Do not sell your surplu
BOOSTERS for a song, but shut them VI
in a quiet place, and feed them hearth,
for two weeks.
There is no better way of disposin
of the small potatoes than to feed then
to the chickens. Do not o~verfeed, an
= do not feed them alone, nor oftene
: than every second day. If fed to
many their eggs will have light colore
yelks, which a feed of corn, corn mes
or clover hay will remedy. Food whic
makes yellow butter will make yelIo,

NEW ARMY ORDERS.
General Vincent Denies That Any
Movements of Troops Arc to
Be Made,

General Vincent denies absolutely, in
spite of reports which have recently been
published, that any movements of troops
have been decided upon, says the latest
Army and Navy Journal.
He declined to state what the recon-
mendations of General Schofeld were, nor
would he say that any such recommends
tons had been made. He says that if any
movements of troops are made they will
probably be decided upon when Secretary
Lamont and General Schofeld return to
Washington from their present inspection
tours.
AS the Journal has stated General Scho-
field did make recommendations regarding
movements of troops before his departure
on his inspection trip. These recommends
tons were forwarded to Secretary Lamont,
and that official now has them locked up
in his desk. Decisive action on the
recommendations made by General Scho-
field may be expected soon after Sec
rotary Lamont's return to Washington.

States army headquarters were received

Railway Company then, it seems, prepare
the orders which it is desired the Board of
Supervisors shall pass. The board assem-
bles, the order is presented and the Solid
Eight vote aye. That is all there is to the
formula. This is purely ministerial and is
unlawful.
This is the ground gone over by the
Citizens Defense Association at the meet
ing this afternoon, and with my advice
steps will be Immediately taken to prevent
the contamination of the unlawful act If
it Is consummated then other steps will be
taken looking to the impeachment of the
Solid Eight.
at was not deemed wise" continued Mr..
Clement, "to proceed to more heroic
measures at this stage of the proceedings.
The board has clearly broken the law, to
my mind, in the advertisement of this
proposed grant, from which l have quoted
and which is now running in the official
paper it's course of ten insertions, as re-
quired by law.
at will be difficult matter to convict
these gentlemen in any case, as they will
bring to their aid all the influence and all
the kinds of influence that the railroad
company and their political pull can fur
nish. Therefore, strong case must be
brought against them in order to secure
conviction. So far only the moral wrong
has been committed-the intention, as
advertised, to disregard the law. Itcannot
be said that any one is as yet actually
injured.
II have advised, therefore, that the exc
cutive committee of the Defense Associa-
ton fortify itself at once with all the in
formation available in the matter; then
that letter be addressed to the board, as
board, warning it that what was contem-
plated to be done as set forth in this adj
vertisement was clearly unlawful, and that
if they persisted in carrying out their in
tention proceedings would certainly be
brought against them in the courts for
malfeasance in Office. With this warning
they could not plead ignorance and by any
other means make play for sympathy.
1.-THE fact is" continued Mr.. Clement,
''this grip upon the majority of the Board
of Supervisors which the Market-street
Railway Company maintains, insists upon
maintaining and always has maintained
has much deeper port to the company
now than seems to be generally under
stood. 1t does not seem to be known
that the franchises held by the Market
street Company are about running out.
Several of them have but two or three
years to run. In very few years, there
fore, this whole big system of street rail-
ways will be under the direction of the
Board of Supervisors-that is, subject to
its regulation, to be taxed as it should be,
and required to pay a certain percentage
of its gross earnings into the City treasury,
as street railway companies in every large
city are required to do. Why, the i'm
mense earnings of this company should be
a big item toward the sum of the running
expenses of this City. But if anybody sup
poses that the Market-street Railway Com

STORIES OF CORRUPTION,
POliCemen'S Stars Said to Be
HaWked for Sale by
Supervisors.
JOE KING IS MENTIONED
He Emphatically Denies the Re-
port-Tobin and Alvord In
Ignorance.

The politicians who confine their atten-
lions purely to matters municipal yester-
day discussed various versions of a story
that positions upon the police force were
being sold, and that the heads of the de-
partment were actually considering the
advisabllity of arresting the persons in
power alleged to be principals in the I'M
holy traffic.
1t was stated by the political gossip as
something having suggestive bearing
upon the rumored official corruption that
one supervisorial member of the place-bar-
tering com bine in the board had recently
lifted $4,000 mortgage from his house
an amount of money he hardly could have
realized from his position.
Then again, it was said that the corrupt
combine in the Board of Supervisors had
raised the price of police positions from
$500 and $500 to $500 and that this increase
in the commercial value of the star and
helmet had given birth to variations OF the
simple truth thus stated.
One story had it that Supervisor Joe
King was to be arrested on charges OF hav-
ing sold positions on the force and that a
warrant was out for him.
Commissioners Alvord and Tobin, when
seen last night, both denied knowledge of
any charge having been made against Su-
pervisor King.
81 do not know Mr.. King" said Mr..
Tobin.
II never met him to my knowledge"
said Commissioner Alvord.
And Supervisor King himself had this to
say in denial of the rumor that he had
been selling police positions:
81 don't know any of the Commission

THE SOLID EIGHT To Be FORMALLY WARNED.

most money for it take it. The very pur
pose of the law is to prevent the Super
visors from jobbing these valuable privi-
leges away to people and corporations of
their own choice and to their own profit,
and to secure to the City all the value
offered for them. But a franchise for a
street railway, which under the conditions
of its sale must be operated as extensions of
and adjuncts to and IN connection Nth the
Market-street Railway Company, limits
the bidding to that company.
Further than that, as The CALL points
out" continued Mr.. Clement, 'the board
has forgotten its legislative function and
become the mere ministerial agent of the
Market-street Company in this business.
Indeed it so announces itself in this adver-
tised resolution as pointed out by THE
CALL. Here is the language of the resolu-
ton:
And whereas, it is proposed to grant
under the conditions and restrictions
imposed in the draft of an order SUBJ
mitted by said company with its appli-
cation, filed on July L, 1895, a
franchise for a street railway along, over
and upon the streets, highways and
premises hereinbefore mentioned; there
fore, etc.
"Think of it moment. In the matter
of granting valuable franchise, which
the law expressly declares must be of
fered to the highest bidder without re-
strictions, the Supervisors declare them
selves as about to grant urader the condi-
tiors and restrictions imposed IN the draft of
an order submitted By said (Market-street

OF Henry L. Clement Esq, one of its
members.
These are the members composing this
Solid Eight:
Joseph King, First Ward.
Peter A. Scully, Second Ward.
c. E. Benjamin, Third Ward.
AIphonse Hirsch, Fourth Ward.
E. C. Hughes, Sixth Ward.
Chris Bunker, Seventh Ward.
A. w. Morgenstern, Ninth Ward.
Edward L. Wagner, Twelfth Ward.
The action of the Supervisors in this
matter has become the topic of converse
ton at all hours of the day and every
where throughout the City.
The meeting of the members of the Citi-
zens' Defense Association was not public
one. It was held in Mr.. Clements private
office and was called to do business and
not to create impressions through the re-
ports of speeches that might have been
made.
1t will be remembered that Henry n.
Clement was the attorney who appeared
before the Street Committee of the Board
of Supervisors few days ago and made a
bitter fight against Behrend Joost and his
application for this same franchise. What
Henry n. Clement says, therefore, should
have more than usual weight.
Mr.. Clement was seen Immediately after
the conference. a copy of The CALL of
Wednesday morning was before him.
CHANGING over it he said:
''THE CALL has made out its case. It is
perfectly clear and absolutely convincing.
say this as one who. you know, acted as
counsel for certain property-owners along
the line of the Joost electric road, who
were opposed to his being granted that
franchise. 1t seems that I very effectually
won my case. But in granting the appli-
cation of the Market-street Company, the
''Solid Eight" Of the Board of Supervisors
have clearly trangressed the law and laid
itself liable to impeachment proceedings
for malfeasance in ofice-not in granting
the application, but in the manner of
granting it. They have hedged the grant
about by conditions such as wholly destroy
or nullify the intent of the law.
''This was the opinion of the members of
the Citizens Defense Association who have
been in consultation over the matter. The
CALL has clearly set this forth. See this
language of the resolution as it appears
here" said Mr.. Clement, reading:

The Habeas Corpus Suit Dismissed-Sui

A new complication arose yesterday in
the case of little All 500, the four-year-old
Chinese girl who was claimed by three
Chinese women as their offspring and
whose sale was prevented by the interven-
ton of General McComb, representing the
So ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to

Letters OF guardianship were granted to
Mr.. McComb and the habeas corpus suit
brought by Charley Hung was dismissed
by Judge Trout.
The end was not yet however, for when
Mr.. McComb returned to his office after a
day in the courds he found on his desk
legal documents issued at the instance of
Sui See, who wanted him to give reasons
why he (Sui See) should not be the guar
dian OF the child. McComb said he did not

FIVE YEARS IN THE PEN
Is the punishment Assessed Against Jim
 Clayton for Heinous Crime.

Nose Arrant, the chum of Jim Clayton, will no doubt congratulate himself that he jumped his bond, and fled from Jefferson county before he was tried for the same offense that will cause Clayton to spend the next seven years of his life behind prison bars. 1t will be remembered that Clayton and Arrant were arrested on the charge of enticing two negro girls from their homes. Both men
 were found guilty in the magistrates court and sentenced to one years imprisonment and fined $400, each. Their cases were appealed to the Circuit Court. Arrant gave bond and was released. Clayton was not so fortunate. Through some error the appeal case of Clayton was called first and it resulted in his conviction and the jury assessed his punish ment at one years imprisonment and q fine of $500. AS soon as Arrant learned of Clayton's conviction he fled the country and left his bonds men in the hole.
 Clayton, notwithstanding the pun Eishment given him for the first of- fense against the laws of morality, the last Grand Jury found a true bill against him, charging him with carnaily knowing a female under the age of l6 years. Saturday he ap- peared before the Circuit Court and entered a plea of guilt to the charge
 Judge Elliott sentenced him to five years at hard labor in the PeEiten- tiavy for this crime.

IT IS SETTLED.
THE CASE AGAINST THE ARKANSAS
 INDUSTRIAL COMPANY.
Gov. Clarke Agrees to Compromise and Nearly s2e.75o is Paid Over to
 the State

LITTLE ROCK, Oct. 26.-The claim of the State against the Arkansas Industrial Company, which has been hanging fire for number of years past, was decided and settled Friday afternoon. at least as far as the original judgment is concerned. The amount recommended by the Penitentiary Board was $26,750, and a judgment for the sum was so entered by the Attorney-Gsneral.
 The original judgment obtained by the State was for $33 900. The Industrial Company, however, claimed several offsets, credits, etc, from this amount, and in order to get the matter speedily adjusted, and to save the State additional expenses. Gov. Clarke yesterday finally agreed upon the sum pre- viously recommended by the Board of Penitentiary Commissioners and instructed the Attorney-General to settle in accordance with these facts.
