LOS ANGELES, CAL, July 13.-Certain
parents of the boys detained at the
Whittier State School threaten to keep
up rumpus about the recent inciplent
rebellion of cadets, though Superntend-
ent Van Alstyne asserts that all is quiet
at the institution. The superinte tendent
is evidently mistaken. Though he may
keep his most obstreperous charges under
lock and key and double guarded, smart
ing with sundry strappings supposed to
be we'll deserved, there is trouble brewing
outside the brick walls at Whittier.
George c. Parks is an indignant father.
He has son at Whittier, committed, of
course, for some offense, and the young
Parks was among the mum ber favored
with more or less corporal punishment
for the part he took in rebelling against
the authority of the officers of the school.
Parks pere says that his boy was
whipped with a section OF garden hose,
favorite tool for such purposes at re-
formatory institutions, and on account OF
this alleged fact he demanded and re-
ceived warrant OF arrest for Captain
Treat. who is charged with welding the
rubber bludgeou.
Captain Treat was arraigned in Justice
Young's court to-day and held for trial
on the 21st inst, being allowed to go

LEFT, NEVER TO RETURN.
Unceremonjous Departure of the Manager
of a Fresno Canning Com

FRESNO, CAL, July 13.-A. F. Tenney
is no longer manager of the A. +. Tenney
Canning Company. His retirement from
the company has not been generally
known, although it is now over six mon Is
since he severed his connection with it.
And he did this in such an unceremoni-
Gus manner that 1t was about three
months afterward before the firm knew Of
his departure.
James Madison is managing the fruit
cannery in this city this season. He is
largely Interested in the enterprise and
he was forced to take charge of the busi-
ness after the former manager left. Madi-
sons home is in San Francisco, where he
has large property interests, but shl, sum-
mer he is living in Fresno.
The new manager was seen ut the can
merry by THE CALL CORES spondent to-day
and SAID that be was at loss to account
for the strange departure OF Tenn"y, who
is now sojourning in Southern England,
his native home. The e1-manager did
not leave any debts behind him and his
relations with the company were OF the
most pleasant. Madison had only q word
of censure for Tenney because he had
gone off and left the business of the COM
pany without manager for about three
months and it suffered somewhat thereby.

IL was not until Madison returned in the
latter part of March that the former
manager s departure was discovered.
His whereabouts had been unknown,
and 1t was not until Madison had made
Investigations that it was ascertained that
he had left suddenly with tho intention OF
never returning. He had transferred his
stock in the canning company to another
oa-sop in, San EraDciscO
Mrs. Tenney is still in the bay city. and
it seems that the departure OF her hus-
band was as unex pected to her as to any
one else. In fact, 1t is believed that the
cause of Tenney's strange action was
domestic trouble.
Tenney came to Fresno a number OF
years ego as manager of the Fiesno Fruit
and Raisin Packing Company, of which
he and Madison were the principal stock
holders. They discontinued their busi-

Hampton had been in business in Santa

At the me OF his supposed death he car

that no one knew OF the men alleged

Notwithstanding Mrs. Hampton claimed
that they had long been residents Of Los

Programme OF the Opening Day
Concludes With a Grand
Concert.

PACIFIC GROVE, CAL, July 13.-The
eighteenth annual Chautauqua assembly
of the Pacific Coast began its two weeks
session here to-day. This gathering,
which has grown in strength as we'll as
popularity year by year since its incep-
ton, promises in the 1897 season to reach
its banner year, and the success of the
opening events of to-day bear out this
promise.
The first hour of this afternoons exer-
cises was occupied by Milton l.. Lawrence
of San Jose in a short lecture upon the
theory of vocal culture for children as
taught by the Tomlin method, which he
followed with an interesting demonstra-
ton of this method. Mr.. Lawrence will
have charge of the musical department. of
this assembly and will organize classes in
vocal mu.ic for children as well as for
teachers. Having been here already a
week or more he has formed a choral class
of 100 children, whicn will take part in
some portion OF the public evening enter
tainments.
Some preliminary business relating TO
the assem- bly's work, committee meetings
and the like was gone through during the
afternoon, but the formal organization
will not be perfected until tomorrow
morning.
grand opening concert, the first of q
series of three which will be given during
the Chautauqua season, took place in the
assem- bly, hall of the Methodist Episcopal
Church this evening. An excellent pro-
gramme was rendered, the various num-
bers of which were given by the Knicker
n l. Gu
the Lyric Ladies Quartet, also of San
Francisco, under the direction of Mrs.
Martin Schultz, the celebrated soprano;
Roscoe Warren Lucy, pianist; Miss Nellie
Shirley, cornetist; the Misses Partridge
| Miss Ethel Tillson. c. M. Eliot, L. A. Lar
sen, Cyrus Brownlee Newton, elocution-
ist, and others. A large audience enjoyed
! the good music.
Owing to the presence on this coast of
men and women of National reputation
who are attending the Christian Endeavor
convention the ChautauQua management
has been enabled to offer stronger, wider
and altogether more excellent array of
| talent this year than any hitherto pre-
sented in any previous year. Such speak
ers as Bishop John P. Newman, Edward
Page CASTOR, DR.. Francis Clark, Jonn Will

various classes of the assem- bly's term
will be under exceptionally capable in
structors.

HiCHLAED GRANGE TOPICS.
the Rational Feeding of
Stock.

WRIGHTS, CAL, July 13.-Professor
Jaffa continued his talk on the rational
feeding of farm ANIMALS this afternoon at
the Grange Hall, and dwelt prin cipally on
the food value of fruits for livestock and
on the rational feeding of chickens. 1t
was a question of practical Importance.
said he, to a farmer who had supply of
fruit which for some reason he could n OF
put on the market to know how to feed it
to his stock and for what food he had been
accustomed to feed he should substi-
tute it. Various charts were shown Civ
ing the proportions of water nitrogen,
non n-nitrogeno and mineral elements
contained In the different fresh and dried
fruits, the proportional amount OF these
elements contained in the fruit which was
actually digested and then the food vaiue
of the fruits as compared with other food
products
The same food ingredients, it was
shown, were found in the fruits as in the
grasses and grains and other food prod
ucts but the non-nitrogenous elements
| or carbohydrates were mostly of sugar
instead of starcn. This was of no conse-
ouence in the feeding OF stock, which
digested starch as easily as sugar. The
fruits were not so rich in protein or tissue
building material, SAID Professor Jaffa, so
that in feeding them care must be taken
10 make up the deficiency in this respect
by mixing in some concentrated 1000 rich
| IN protein, such as cottonseed meal. Care
must also be observed 10 make substitu-
tion gradually, watching how the change
worked.
In answer to question in regard to the
feeding of apples and pears, which fur
nish the most waste fruit in this district,
Profe> sor Jaffa advised the farmers to try
by experiment how 1t would work feeding
q little at a time and watching the re-
suits. A ration, he said, was the amonnt
of food fed per day to any animal, and ba..
anced ration, which vas what the intelli-
gent feeder worked out from the various
charts and analyses, was one in which the
nutrients were contained in their proper
proportion for the animal nutrition.
1t was absolutey necessary, the profes-
sor said, for the successful poultry raiser
to get the most advanced methods of ra-
tional feeding i'll order to successfully
meet the great competition and the low
prices in this industry. The same general
principles, he showed, must be observed
here as in the feeding of stock. The work
of the cow was THO making OF milk, while
for the hen it was the making and laying
of eggs, ami the proper food must be given
10 the hen in the right proportions for
building tissue, main aiming warmth and
supplying the ingredients necessary for
the formation of the o e.
The principles and figures necessary for
understanding the rational system OF feed
ing farm animals, he said, were given in
the report of the experiment stations OF
the State University for 1894-95, and any
farmer of average intelligence could mas
ter them without difficulty.

STOCKTON, CAL, July Is. - The
Sheriff's office to- day accomplished a
very neat capture of a criminal who is
wanted in Sacramento and whom the
Sheriffs in the central counties nave
hunted with unusual zeal.
James Hennessey is now in the Sacra-
mento County Jail on charge of grand
larceny. Hennessey is racehorse man.
On June IL be stole from Sacramento the
well-known stallion Walter J, belonging
to ex-Jockey NJ. McDermott
He effected an entrance 10 the stable by
breaking the paddock. Chief of Police
Drew of he ca pital city sent out informa-
ton of the theft. A few days ago the
Sheriff's office learned that Hennessey
ha been at the racetrack he e, and the
officers then set to work on his trail.
He was captured last night at Cometa,
Stanislaus County. Deputy Sheriff Black
went out last night and returned this
morning with his man.
Sheriff Johnson was notified and deemed
it best to take lhe horsethief 10 Sacra-
mento at once, and DEPUTY Black left with
him this afternoon. Shortly after Hennes-
sev was taken from Jail James A.
Louttit appeared at the Sheriff office
and stated that he had been retained as
counsel for the prisoner. AT that time
hennessey was already on his way 10
Sacramento. The stolen horse is now in
charge of Mr.. Harrison.
