George Fayette 7 cultural Department has written a trea- | tise modern hen which contains information of interest. In the first place | Mr. Thompson declares that the average | stands in about| hompson of the Agri- the ich-quick concern e same relation to an up-to-date hen | s does an wagon to an automobile. | rapid accumulator of financial re- | urces the hen is in the same class as oil wells and gold mines. The thoroughly | T rn hen no longer wastes her time hatching eggs. She leaves that work en- | tirely to the incubator, while she devotes the time thus gained to the more profita- b labor of producing eggs. Consequently, Professor Thompson has discovered ‘that there is a proportionately | smaller number of fowls but by the| | adoption of labor and time saving ma- | chines the lesser number has been able to | | produce a_ constantly increasing output | of eggs. The treatise contains so much | interesting information about the hen and | her produet that Secretary, Wilson has determined to incorporate it in’ the forth- | | coming yearbook of the Department of | | Agriculture. Y | Professor Thompson, who is also a sta- | | tistician ‘of reputation, has discovered that in the city of New York each family | | of five persons consumes on an average | four eggs a day. In Chicago, if it is a cepied that the city has reached a po lation of 2,000,000, the ratio of egg con- suming is higher and every person in the | city manages to consume one whole egg each day in the year. | The production of poultry and eggs is | | the most profitable of all industries. Mr, | Thompson estimates that a thoroughly | modernized hen can realize 400 per cent | | profit for her owner. In thirty-three | States and Territories the value of eggs | exceeds the value of the poultry product. | The egg product in the United States amounts to more, when measured by dol- lars and cents, than the combined gold | | and silver production. This does not take | | the poultry into consideration at all. | | The value of the combined poultry and | | egg product would be nearly double that of the precious metals. THe value of the | industry is just six times that of the wool | product. Still, eggs have taken only an | | inconspicuous place in tariff debates. Pro- | | tectionists and tarift reformers are in a | { perpetual row over wool, but the hen| | makes no clamor for protection from Con- | | gress. Neither has there been any protest | against the introduction of machinery. | | Prices did not fall with the introductioh | {of the incubator. Instead, the poultry | | | | | raisers of the country devoted themselves | to the education of the hen so that she would lay eggs during the time the old- | tashioned fowl spent in sitting and temd- | ing to her brood of chickens. The grand total value of the annual out- put of eggs is now $145,000,600, while that | of poultry aggregates: $139.080,000. Towa | leads the States in the production of eggs, the yearly product of that State being 100,000,000 dozen. Ohio comes next with 91,000,000 dozen. Tllinols is third with 86,- 000,000 dozen, and Missour! fourth with 85.- 000,000 dozen. With the exception of| | Alaska and Hawaii, Montana pays the | highest price for eggs. the average price being 20 cents a dozen. They are cheap- | est in Texas, where the average price last year was 7% cents a dozen. The average | price for the 16,000,000,000 egg# which were | marketed in the United States last year | was 11.15 cents a dozen. Professor Thompson resorts to the rail- way illustration as a means of impressing upon the mipd.the enormous proportions of the egg industry. The annual output fills 43,127,272 crates holding thirty dozens each. Anordinary refrigerator car, which has an average length of 425 feet, holds 49 crates. He maintains that a train of these cars sufficient to carry the annual product would be 866 miles long, or long enough to reach from Washington to Chi- cago and have several miles to spare. | | n closing, Professor Thompson says: ‘The majority of the fowls of this coun- try are found in comparatively small | numbers on a very large number of farms, | where they gather their own subsistence | and receive practically no care. The con- | sequence of this is that eggs are produced | | at little cost. The development of thl!; llndu!(r_\' to an extent incredibly larger | than it Is at the present time is among | the easy possibilities.”—Chicago News, — e Quick Work at Rescue. | | Provided one can keep afloat a few | minutes, and provided, furthermore, that | | gomebody gives an alarm, to fall over- ! | board in midocean does not necessarily | | mean that one must drown.

These had the co-op- eration of the Veteran Exempt Fire Com- pany and the gallant United States bat- tery of Light Artillery, the latter taking part by order of Major General MacAr- thur, commanding the Department of California. A little after 9 o'clock the interesting proceedings were begun by Major Bdwin A. Sherman, a veteran of the Mexican War, wearing his seventy-four vears with all the air and vigor of youth, introduc- ing Colonel Joseph Btewart, U. 8. A., a retired president of the day. The gallant colonel, though born in the long ago year of 1822, stood amid his comrades, erect as a youth, showing little of the nard ser- vice he had during a part of the sixty- four years he had served his flag and country. Colonel Stewart came of age when serv- ing as a lieutenant of the United States artillery at Fort Adams, R. I, on the | day when the lamented President Mc- | Kinley was born. ASSEMBLAGE CHEERS. The exercises were formally begun by the colonel addressing the large assem- blage in a few soldierly words, and tnen the excellent band sent specially from the Naval Training School at Yerba Buena Island by Captain Bowman H. McCalla, U. 8. N., under the direction of Band- master J. P. Stanton, played the “Navy Forever,” and the assemblage cheered and cheered until the echoes resounded in very quarter of the neighborhood. The exercises were continued by the reci- ting of a short prayer, which was fol- lowed .by the rendering of the national hymn, “America,” finely sung by Alfred Wilkie, accompanied by the naval band and joined by the hundreds of voices of those who had gathered to assist in the celebration. Then came the duty of reading the proc- lamation of Commodore John Drake Sloat, which, in the absence in Lon- don of J. B. Whittemore, the late commo- dore’s great-grandson, was ably deliver- ed by S. W. Boring. The orders of Commodore Sioat, the ad- dress and proclamation of Captain John B. Montgomery, together with reports of his lieutenants in connection with the rais- ing of the American flag at San Fran- cisco, Sonoma and othel; points, were re- ANTI-CHINESE SPEECH. While delivering an historical account of the United States, Major Sherman, prompted by the sight of hundreds of curious and interested Mongolians on roofs and at windows looking down upon the veterans, paraphrased Tennyson's flag in California other day a crazed coal passer jumped Showing New Fabrics| Rough and Smooth Cloths| Patterns Entirely New| The Prices Are Correct °13Z e .Kearny Street Thurlow Block, | “Charge of the Light Brigade,” uttering from the midship rail.

ATHENE, July 9.—M. Ralli is experiencing serfous difficulty in the work v. orming a Cabinet. The newspapers imsist that the only solution of the diffizulty lies in the dissolution of the Chamber. * Chinese to left of us, Chinese to right of us. Hall with Blind Justice in front of us— Some one has blundered. The paraphrase was but the prelude th a scathing denunciation of the tolerance of the Americans, -as the major put it, in allowing the Chinese to remain in the country. He regretted to see the heathens come into America’s’ inheritance and in the name of the veterans he demanded their exclusion and return to their native coun- try. The ‘major then returned to-the inter- . —& est which the celebration had awakened in so many citizens, and in the narhe < ation of which he is a mem- ber he thanked the Exempt Fire Company for the admirable arrangements it had made for the observance of the day. Alfred Wilkie gave a fine and impres- sive rendering of the patriotic song, “The Sword of Bunker Hill,” which was com- plimented with cheérs. The band then struck up “Hail, Columbia,” to which and to the roaring accompaniment of a na- tional salute of twenty-one guns by the United States battery of light artillery, under command of Captain J. L. Hayden, the Stars and Stripes were hoisted to the top of the high flag pole overlooking the square by Comrade Isaac M. Baker, U. 8. marine corps, retired, and Comrade W. J. Hudson, acting for the Exempt Fire Company. AGED BATTLE HEROES. The veterans then formed in line and marched for a Ifttle distance with the battery of artillery and the day's pro- ceedings were left to be thought and talked over by the citizens who had tak- en part in them. Among those veterans of the Mexitan | war who were present were Major Sher- | man and Colonel Stewart and Orderly | Sergeant S. W. Boring, late of the' First Illinois Cavalry. Sergeant Boring was born in 1824 and fought under General Zachariah Taylor, who was famillarly known as “Old Rough and Ready,” a title earned because of the general's tact and efficiency in fighting the Indians. lzorlns was also in the Mormon war of 1844, Major John 1. Bromley, in his eighty- third year, and who fought under Gen- eral Winfleld Scott at the taking of the City of Mexico and all the preceding bat- tles, came upon the scene of celebration with the alertness that would be ex- pected of a youth of 20. Lieutenant W. L. Duncan, another vet- eran of the Fourth Illinois Regiment, was present, and in bearing showed not a sign of advanced years. Seated around the speakers were F. Schaupp, Colonel George Thistleton, Sid- ney J. Loop, W. €. Rugh, Thomas E. Ketcham, W. C. Burnett, Henry Schwartz, Lawrence Sellinger, H. W. Kurlnaum, Ferdinand Meyer, J. Bannis- ter, G. C. Dean and Dennis Harrigan. The Exempt Fire Company was repre- sented by: President, H. D. Hudson: vice president, J. J. Mahoney: secretary, J. J. Guilfoyle; James Grady, James O'Donnell, William ' Alvorad, Pincus Harris, Francis Richards, P. H. Flem! ing. Charles Reed, Henry Wheeler, D. H. Finn, E. Valencf 8. Cohn, John H. Hime, Charles McFarland, J. J. Mundhyler, Adam Smith, God- frey Fisher and Mrs, Andréw Jessup, the only lady who has ever received the honorary mem. bership of the Exempt Fire Company, LUNCHEONS AFTERWARD., Others present were Hull B. Rand, 77 years of age, who told of his grandsire, Sergeant Willlam Rand, who fought with | the New Hampshire militia at Bunker Hill, at Saratoga and Bernington; 8. W. Levy, treasurer of the Sloat Monument Association, and Lewis Amiss Spitger. Noticeable among the ladies were Mrs. Thistleton, Miss Alice Stewart, Mrs. E. A. Sherman, Mrs. J. B. Whittemore and little Miss Lange, granddaughter of the late Sergeant Charles Lange, veteran of the Mexican War. Miss Lange carried a beautiful basketful of boutennieres, which she graciously distributed among the veterans and the members of the Ex- empt Fire Company. Major Sherman entertained several of the veterans and ladies at luncheon at the California Hotel later in the day, and General Warfield invited the naval band to luncheon there.

Remains of Mrs. Schneider Are Buried at San | Bernardino. . Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN BERNARDINO, July 9.—Mystery continues to thicken with regard to. Mrs. Lena Schneider, the mysterious woman | who commlitted suicide at the county hos- pital yesterday by taking opium. The inquest was held last evening and though | nothing certain was brought to light as to her husband, several of the “hospital | attendants testifled that she had stated to them on several occasions that he was an inmate of the Napa insane asylum. Who she is and from where she came, even why she came to this place, is shréuded in deepest mystery. When she applied for admittance at the institution about a year ago she -was dressed well anll had considerable jewelry. All her wardrobe and this jewelry she had dis- tributed among the inmates before she took the fatal dose and it was the spirit of unselfishness that won for her the un- usual good will of all about the institu- tion. Since her first entrance into the hospital she had been absent at interval but never would talk of her visits aw nor give the least inkling about her rela- tives. Five months ago she returned for the last time and since then has had periods | Once | she stated that when she was ready to die she knew where she could get something that would cause a speedy and painless death, and at another time she referred to the matter as though it were a per- son who would supply the deadly poison. | Only a few days ago she stated that she | would soon call at the depot for some- thing which she would take and die, and | though the popular opinion is that she | got the deadly drug in town, yet her re- | mark would tend to indicate that the polson came through the express. Mon- day night she aroused thé head nurse and | informed her that the hour had arrived. “I am not golng to live; take these rings, for if anything happens to me, they are yours, and I don't want you to try and pull Me through. I want to die,” she said. Nothing was thought of her remark, | and not until next morning was it really known that she had actually taken a drug. Dr. Meyer was then summoned, and, though he knew instantly the nature | of the poison fromi its effects, vet she | would not reveal what she had. taken. | He succeeded in rallylng her several times, but when she was thought to be recovering she suddenly collapsed and died, and it has been suggested that pos- sibly she managed to get the bottle of opium, From . occasiongl remarks she made while dying it is almost certain that she had an object in concealing her identity. She was possessed of more than ordinary refinement, was well educated, and, though well along in years and an in- valid, yet there was still about her that which suggested past beauty. She was buried in the city cemetery to-day, dressed in a costly silk dress which was found in her wardrobe at the hospital. —— Takes Refuge in Hospital. Detectives Fitzgerald and Graham vesterday located Adolph Bruhnes, charged with burglary, in the City and County Hospital, where he has been for two months. He is charged with steal- ing two revolvers and several articles of clothing from the room of Gustave Schres, an attache of the public pound.
