Chickens for broiIing purposes
are put into the pens at the begin

two weeks, while ducks are kept
there three weeks. The bottoms
OF the pens are covered with Smelly
cut chaff, which is changed every
day, and, during the fattening oper-
alton, the fowls are kept at an in
variable temperature and in semi
darkness. They are fed four times
a day. Each meal lasts about two
seconds, and IN the eight seconds
they eat more than they could in
two days with the apparatus which
nature gave them.
L'engraissement' has been prac-
ticed in France for many years.
Before the improved appliances were
invented the operation was carried
on in several ways. One OF these,
called 'engraissement aux patons,
consisted Of inserting little cakes
Of dough into the fowls mouth and
forcing them down with the finger.
In another case, 'engraissement a
pentonnoir,' the food, in liquid
form, was poured into the bird
through "A funnel. A third method,

s,t77,z4o-California' Exhibit
for Atlanta

Associated Press Special Wire.
SAN FRANCISCO. Muy 1.-THE stats
board of trade met today. John P. Irish,
chairman OF the immigration committee,
submitted long report, showing the in.
crease OF population in this state dur.
ing the four years subsequent to the
United States census of 1880. He esti-
mated the number of residents Of the
state from the number Of votes cast at
the last election. allowing five residents
for each vote cast. The net increase was
placed by him at 2l4,6 making the
.total population of the state 1.422. 24o.
Colonel Irish estimates that with the
present rate OF increase the population
Of the state in 1900 would be l,744.655.
He argued, however. that the eia of re-
newed prosperity which has just opened
would raise the total figures to $500, 600.
The board desires to send the entire ex-
hibit now at the board rooms to the cot
ton states exhibition at Atlanta, Ga, and
send lecturers there with it. There is in
the state treasury the sum of $500, being
an unused balance of the $25,00O apprO-
priation made by tho legislature for adj

gWATERVILLE, Me-, May 14.-Herman
Whipple of Solon. Me-, well-known lum-
ber operator, was approached last week
by man who said his name was Webb
and asked him to put $40. 600 into gold
claim in Mexico, Wetb saying he had not
enough money to develop 1t. Webb said
he owned NINE next to the claim and
had brought from it two gold bricks
which he would give Whpple to hold as
security until such time as he should feel
satisfied with the investment. Whipple
took borings from the bricks aad the two
drove to a jeweler whom Whipple knew.
Webb went into the jewelry store alone
and in a moment came back and said they
were in luck. as the jeweer had told him
that G. Il. Andrews the state assayer,
was at the Elmwood hotel and would test
the borings. The alleged Mr.. Andrews
took the borings and next day said the
bricks were worth about $50, 600. Whipple
borrowed the $40, 900 and gave it to Webb.
He has since found the bricks are worth
about $3.

APACHES ON THE WARPATH
Miners in Arizona Driven From Their
Claims
The nurderous Redskins Travel in Small
Bands and Are Escapes From

WILCOX. AIiz., May 14.-Sunday even
ing a courier came in stating that twelve
armed Indians we're seen piowling around
the hills in the vicinity of Buckhorn
Basin. where the mines are bein 8
worked, Saturday last. The miners at
once left their claims, after being notified
by the courier. and have cougregated
together for the protection of them selves
and few scattered families. This local
ity is near the abandoned post of Fort
Wilcox. Monday morning another re-
port was brought in from the new
gold find in the south pass of the
Dragon mountains, twenty miles south
of here. that SIX Indians. fully armed,
were seen there. They attacked pros
pectors camp, driving the prospectors
from their claims, firing four shots ut one
of the men. compelling him to jump to
safety from high ledge, severely in
iuring himself. This morning responsible
reports from Graham county state that a
band of fifteen heavily armed Indians
were seen last evening at sundown seven
miles south Of Clifton rounding up horses
OF citizens. Much alarm is felt. Today
a body of citizens took up the trail.
This morning one troop of cavalry left
Fort Bayard, n. NJ. for the scene. but
long marches are necessary to reach the
scene OF the reported danger. Citizens
are feeling very wrought up and insecure.
The Indians are reported in distress from
insu fficient rations and trouble Is pre-
dicted with no adequate military protec-
tion. Only few available troops TO
quickly reach the locality are at Fort
Grant and under orders to move inside a
week. hence they are all packed up. The
abandonment OF Fort Bowie leaves the
whole southern country open to ravages,
and it would not surprise those who
watch indications to see the present
troubles from miscellaneous small bands
now off the reservation end in rapine and
murder and a general outbreak.
