Experiences

SAN JOSE. CAL. July 15.-The trial
of the divorce suit of Dora A. Clayton
against E. w. Clayton was continued to.
day behind locked doors. A number of
Witnesses in attendance for plaintiff were
placed under the rule and excluded from
the courtroom.
Mrs. Clayton was on the stand all day
and continued her story OF unhappy
matrimonial experience. Among other
things to which she testified was that de-
fendant threatened to shoot her if she
went 10 Linda Vista ranch, and at another
time threatened to "blow her up" She
told the court that she wished to visit Pa
cifc Grove for a time ard went there, but
could not stay. as defendant would not
pay the necessary expenses of the chill
dren.
She related numerous instances of cru
city. and that on one occasion defendant
struck her and cut her lip, making it
necessary to call in a physician.
She had been forced 10 seek security at
a neighbor's house once, and related that
when the children were sick from eating
fruit he refused 10 go for doctor or TO
permit her 10 send for one. She gave
much testimony along these lines, as well
as in relation TO alleged unfaithfulness.

]. Il. MAHONY VERY ILL.
Suffering Severely From Cancer
at the German Hos
pital.
He Underwent an Operation, but the
Trouble Has Returned in Aggra-
waited Form.

Ex-senator ]. H. Mahoney is lying at
the German Hospital in very precErions
condition, so much so that his physician,
DR.. Morse, would hazard no opinion as TO
the outcome at the present time.
The cause which has placed Senator
Mahoney in so dangerous a condition Is
produced by the presence of can cerous
growth in the neck.
During the session of the last Legisla-
ture the Senator complained for the first
time of trouble in his lower lip W hich gave
him more or less annoyance. On his re-
turn to the City he placed himself under
the care of DR.. Morse at the German Hos
pitaI, where an operation was perform ed.
The result OF this at the time was cons;d-
cred to be satisfactory, as the wound
healed. leaving no apparent danger from
the effect. He was. however, taken sud-
denly i'll on last Monday night with a
swelling in the neck. DR.. Noble was sent
for and did what be could for him at the
time, but advised him to go 10 the hos
pital.
This advice was followed, and there
Drs. Noble and Morse operated on him
and removed everything that to them
appeared affected. But the severity of
this operation has so weakened the Sena-
tor that he lies in very serious condition.
He is tenderly watched day and night by
his devoted wife, who sits at his bedside
constantly aiding the nurse. The hospi-
tai officials, acting on the advice of DIR.
Morse, have prohibited all visitors from
the sick mans room. No opinion woult
be given by those about the hospital as 10
the probable recovery of the Senator. The
next twenty-four hours will be watched
with considerable anxiety by his friends.
as during that period change may take
place that will give some indication as to
the future. But at the present time he is
far from being out OF danger and his many
friends fear the worst.

FOOD OF HUAAH BEINGS.
Professor Jfa Gives on Interesting
Lecture on Dief0ries and MIX, Butter
nnd Cheese.

WRIGHTS, CAL, July 15.-Professor
Jaffa gave an intere ting talk thus after
noon at Grange Hall on huma dietaries
and milk, butter and cheese. The subject
of the rational feeding of human beings,
he said, is in its infancy. What is known
about it is the growth of only the last
fifty years. Much is due in this country
to Professor o. w. Atwater, whose per-
slstent efforts have forced the subject
upon the attention of the United States
Government, with the result thar the
Government has provided money with
which experiments may be carried on.
The University of California has recently
taken up this field OF inquiry and is be-
ginning to make original experiments.
The present state of knowledge on the
subject has been set forth in bulletin No.
ITO OF the experiment stations of the
STATE University prepared by Professor
Jaffa, copies of which can be had upon
application TO the university.
As an illustration of the economy which
the thrifty housewife can learn from
these studies, the professor said that the
inexpensive chopped meat used for
Hamburg steaks contains just as much
nouris hment as the most costly steak.
and has no waste. Analysis also shows
that beans are as rich in protein or the
tissue building material as meat, aud
that graham or whole wheat -four is richer
in protein and therefore more valuable
and economical food product than white
-four. Nuts are also very rich in protein,
but should be eaten with caution.
The professor exhibited mum ber OF
charts showing the position of differ
erent food materials the ingredients of
which are few in nun Der and easily mas
tered, being chiefly protein or tissue
building material, fats, starch and sugar,
which serve the purpoSe of keeping up
the bodily warmth, mineral elements of
which the principal are phosphorus and
water A table was shown which gave
the pecuniarv foods, showing the food
value of different foods. according to
price. Another showed the dietaries OF
various classes of people, brain workers
and persons engaged in manual labor in
this and other countries, and these were
compared with the standard dietariss as
worked ont by Professor Atwater.
1t was shown that the worst fed are the
laborers OF Italy, while Americans are the
best fed people ana are BILE TO do the
most work. II is still an open question
he said, however, whether Americans eat
too much or Europeans too little.

professor showed by experiment simple

seemed 10 be in the very air. II seemed
as though half the town had turned out
and brought their neighbors with them to
help receive the visitors.
When the train rolled into the depot
with its twelve carloads of guests there
was mighty waving of handkerchiefs Tor

prepared instructions OF the committee
were forgotten. The home folk sTarmed
to the west and the stranger folk to the

hustled here and there in the crowd vainly
trying to bring order out OF chaos, and
finally joined in with the moving throng
and journeyed to the courthouse.
Here Mayor Jesse delivered q brief ad-

Then the crowd scattered far and wide,
some to their lunches, some 10 drive and
many 10 Horticultural Hall to view the
