TALKS ON ZOOLOGY.
Series Of weekly Meetings Started o.
the California Club.

Series Of weekly Meetings Started by
the California Club.
The California Geological Club has de-
clded to hold meetings every Friday after
noon at $3.50 in the Academy of Sciences,
with the object of giving instruction TO those
interested in zoology. The first meeting
was held yesterday afternoon, and there
was fair attendance, chiefly ladies.
DR.. Behr illustrated and described his
method of mounting butterflies and other
insects. He said there were two objects
for the collector to keep liz view; first, col
Letting; second. preserving. He could not
give much practical instruction as to the
first. but would refer to one important
thing After the insect Is caught there
were two methods to be observed % il IS
pinned; (2l it is wrapped In paper. Put the
pin in the thorax and in the center lie
illustrated the exact position OF the thoraX'
Beetles, which have a convex thoraX. are
the only exception, being pinned on the
right elytrOn to keep them from spreading.
The speeding of other insects is done 1or
their establishment.
He explained the methods Of killing ill.,
sects by poison boxes. their death being
quite painless and without disfigure ment.
IL was sometimes advisable to carry little
chloroform, and pour few drops in the net
when the insect is caught, which answered
the purpose very we'll Boxes for collection
must be as alright as possible.
y butterfly or moth did any harm in its
perfect state, only in its larva state. IL
was well for those engaged in agricultural
pursuits to know this. He illustrated and
explained what a caterpillar is. None had
more than sixteen feet; some only ten. but
none less than ten. The caterpillar was
tran sformed into a chrvsalis when ii does
net feed any more. but lies in a dormant
state and If touched would die. Then the
butterfly developed and the insect flies
away. Those desiring to have a collection
should give the caterpillar new food every
day from the plant off which 1t was taken
and should be careful not to disturb the
ehrysalis. 1t was the best way 10 have
about two inches in depth of black earth in
the bottom of the box wherein the cater
pillar would bury itself. A caterpillar
should never be put in alcohol.
DIR. Behr concluded by giving a practical
Illustration of how to prepare insects
which greatly interested the ladies, some OF
whom tried the experiment with pro-
nOunced success

THIRTY CENTS ON A DOLLAR
Alfred Greenebaum Has Settled
With His California Creditors.
The insolvency Proceedings Have Been
Stricken From the Docket Of the supe-
rior CSurt, Department 10.

The insolvency case of Alfred Greene
baum, the liquor man, whose recent bank
ruptcy SO much agitated the mercantile
community on account of the suspicious
circumstances surrounding it, has been
ordered by Judge Levy stricken from the
calendar Of his department. 1t had been
set after several continuances, and Greene
baum was to appear and show cause why
he should not be declared an insolvent.
w. IL Chickering, in whose charge as
attorney the California creditors had
placed their claims, admits that he had
been authorized by them to settle. but he
would not enter into particulars. There is,
however. hitch. 1t is true that all the
California creditors except two or three
have agreed TO come to terms, being moved
thereto principally by the offer of s. w.
Levy, the father-in-law of Mr. Greenehaum,
to cancel his large claim against the assets
OF the embarrassed merchant. But for this
agreement precious little would have been
Inquired out for creditors.
Another statement made Is the one that
the exporting Of Greenebaum'S books on
behalf OF the creditors showed that Levy
was an actual and not pretended sufferer
Dy the collapse as some had suspected, the
fact being that Greenebaum had really had
from hlm all the money claimed to have been
advanced. As things are now, the prOpO-
sltion Is to pay the California claimants so
cents on the dollar, they thereupon to sign
releases that Greenebaum may be able TO
resume business. A few, however, are still
holding out. MIR. Greenebaum has yet to
satisfy the Eastern creditors. and to do this
Will be a more difficult matter, for the
scheme of settlement which has been
studied out depends in a measure upon
their agreeing TO take somewhat smaller
percentage than the so offered to the local
creditors.
On top of all this. a jury In Judge Stacks
department returned a verdict in Greene
baum's favor for S475 and against Joseph
w. Taylor for the value of certain fixtures
In q iiqg0r-store on Montgomery street, la
which TaylOT's stepson-in-law, ID. NJ.
CashiD, was interested for while, Taylor
buying out the interest of Cashin's part
ner, though the business and fixtures really
belonged TO GreeneDaum. Casbin, il Will
be remembered, fled the country because OF
frauds In the Custom-house. At the trial
OF the case Greenebaum stated on the stand
that he had made q settlement with his
creditors. but he would not tell the basis of
compromise, aud the question was ruled out
as Irrelevant.

Thursday night in Justice Grays court
room at the New City hall. Meyer Jacobs

was a deficit of S202
The chairman explained that the comml T.
tee was disappointed in the receipt OF dona-
lions amounting to about $500 which did
not ma.erlalize, part of it being promised
500 by the Pacific Bank.
The treasurer reported that he had al
ready paid out 1886 out of the S4760 in
hand. and had received bills amounting to
S44S 90, which were ready to be paid as
audited. He will leave for a short absence
in the country tomorrow, and would like to
get In all the claims to-day before his de-
parture.
A lively discussion then arose about Sc
rented as offices. Finally it was resolved
offered to subscribe various amounts toward
liquidating the S202 deficiency, and the
chairman stated that there would be no diff
ficulty III raising the required amount The

MRS. CAUHAPE'S ESTATE.
Mrs. Pleasant Cited to Show What Sh,
Has Done With It

Mrs. Pleasant Cited to Show What She
Has Done With It
Jean Pierre Cauhape has come in with
petition that the letters testamentary issued
TO Mary z. Pleasant in the estate of his wife,
Mary Rider Cauhape, be revoked, that she
be removed as admin stratrix and he be ap-
pointed administrator. Mrs. Cauhape left
a will naming Mrs. Pleasant executrix
and the petitioner sole deviSee. and while
more than three months have elapsed since
her qualification. yet no inventory has been
filed.
Moreover, he charges that she is indebted
to the estate for S1700 for wages earned by
Mrs. Cauhape as servant of Thomas Bell
from October 3 1885, until February /. 1891
said wages having been paid from time 10
time to Mrs. Pleasant as the hOuSekeeper to
give 10 her. They were not paid. but Mrs.
Cauhape was promised that she would be al
some future time with interest. The sum
of S26S2 20 in the hands Of e. Berson was
also paid by agreement TO Mrs. Pleasant as
Mrs. Cauhape's share of the estate of her
former hus band, Thomas Rider. This money
was TO have been invested and the income
accounted for, but no part OF principal OF
interest has ever come 10 the estate.
Then II is charged that Mrs. Pleasant 10
1889 collected $40 as interest from the
Security Savings Bank and in Septem Der
1889 borrowed $500. neither of which sums
lave been repaid. She denies now the
validity of all these claims and will not file
an inventory. intending to shield herself
from suit on said claims. While she re-
mains executrix she cannot sue herself for
the collection of these claims, and unless
she is removed Cauhape says that these
claims constituting the estate will be los
TO it.
Mrs. Pleasant has been cited therefore t
appear before Judge Hunt on the 10th and
show cause.

fore Judge Coffey OH the application of Sec
rotary Holbrook of the Society for the Pre-
ventiOn of Cruelty to Children for letters
of guardianship over two little girls, Inez
and Katie Teison. whom Haaj Tahar of the
Bedouln troupe with Sells Circus brought
from Australia. For Tahar it was main
tanned that he had adopted them and a
document was produced in proof. 1t
showed, however, what Mr.. HOlbrOok con-
tended. namely, that he had hired them to
sing and dance, he 10 board, clothe and
educate them until q. 1t came out incl
dentally that Tahar would have charge of
the Arabian exhibit at the Worlds Fair
and intended these children as exhibits
of Arabia's natural resources. A suspi-
ciOus circumstance was that although the
children were in the city up TO the 18th ult.,
they were Their removed to Oakland, appar-
emily to be beyond the jurisdiction of the
court They had been in charge here of
Mrs. Tahar. who was divorced in March.

THE REGISTRARS QUARTERS
Nearly Compl et+d for Business-The New
Receiving Hospital.

Nearly COm plettd Tor Bus1ness-1he new
Receiving Hospital.
Yesterday Mayor SandersOn. accom-
panied by CALL reporter. made tour OF
inspection of the newly fitted offices Of
Registrar Brown in the basement Of the
new City Hall. which are nearly completed.
The electric-lghting plant is now in work
ing order and the fittings all perfect The
arrangements are admirable. and it can
safely be said that no other city 10 the
United States has more conveniences for the
registration OF voters.
The registration-rOom has an elliptical
counter in the center, surrounded by bars
arranged so that ouly one person can breast
the counter al one time between the parti-
tions. This will prevent lot of crowding
and confusion. The assembly hall has been
fitted with solid OaRen benches, with plat
form tor the Commissioners at one end,
rallied of. Convenient accommodations for
the press have been fixed. All the offices
and lavatories are fitted up with the latest
appliances, and everything will be ready by
August 10 for the registration Of voters.
a move was then made for the new Re-
ceiving Hospital. The arrangements here.
too, are as nearly perfection as could be ell
imagined. Nothing remains to be done now
but TO move in the furniture, drugs, etc.
One of the latest kind of operating tables
is already in position. The Mayor seemed
not only pleased, out very proud OF the CON-
pletenesS of all the arrangements.
Another noticeable feature is that the van
conveying the insane before the Commits
sioners can now be driven right up to tile
entrance. and backed up so that the unfor-
tunate inmates can be taken right into the
building without being exposed to public
gaze. Formerly ii was at times a lament

taken out of the van on the street IN tue
presence Of big crowd and carried kicking
and struggling up the steps and across the
path way into the hall.
