Pins for Insects.

1t may not be generally known that
the nature of the pins used in fastening
the specimens in collections OF insects
Is 4 matter of great Importance. Or
binary brass pins. even when Wen
thinned, are very liable to oxidize in
A. hodv of the insect, and often thus
destroy rare and valuable specimens
Rlack vanished pins are almost as bad,
as the glaze soon cracks, leaving the
metal exposed. Even plated pins do
not appear to resist the action of the
compounds developed in the body of
the insect, though solid silver ones
will, so that cheap silver may q. iea7.

CENSUR|NG OFFICIALS,
More About the Forthcoming
Report of the Grand
Jury.
The County Clerks Office and
Superintendent Of Streets to
Be Criticized.

The final report of the Grand Jury will
probably be agreed upon at to-nights ses-
sion and given to the public next Wednes-
day. The CALL has already outlined a few
of the recommendations that will be made,
and as consequence many of the City de-
partments are considerably disturbed.
The School Board will have several sug-
gestions made it, which if followed out
will strengthen the standing of that body
materially. Instead of employing one archi-
tect it is recommended that they advertise
for designs when schoolhouse is to be
built The jury is of the opinion that they
will get better work by adopting this
method. A protest is entered against the
manner Of dispOsing of contracts. The law
says that all work amounting to $500 or
over shall be advertised. The School
Board has way of getting around this
technicality, and that is by splitting up
contracts. Suppose there is work to the
amount of 800. This is divided into four
contracts of $175 each, all of which is in
stsict conformity with the letter but not
the spirit OF the law.
The County Clerks office comes in for a.
big slice of criticism. There are sixty
seven deputies in the Office, and the Jury
think the force could be materially les
sened and the work done just as efficiently
as at present. Under Mr.. Curry the
monthly expense of the Office reaches the
handsome total of SS,937, while the same
work was done by Mr.. Haley and his asso-
ciates for $6,575 a month. The report will
handle this matter without gloves"
The Fire Department will be one of the
few public institutions praised. The fire
losses have steadily decreased during the
last few years, though the population OF
the City is continually increasing. iThe or
ganization of ten new fire companies is
strongly urged, also the purchase of a new
chemical engine. The Chief of the Fire
Department is highly spoken of, which, in
view OF the fact that fully two-thirds of the
sured, must be highly gratifying to the
mem bers of that department.
Opium dens and lotteries are touched up

ana they tell about the terrible storm it
was. You will never get wind and a sea
on that coast such as they have on the
emma coast. But suppose they thought
IL was terrible storm. Do you know the
storm always seems worse to those sailing
IN cranky ship. If the ship behaves well
the storm is not considered nearly as
severe. I've seen that illustrated a good
many times. l wish the people could
know the real truth about those Pacific
Mail steamers. There isn't one of them
that is safe. It's nothing to me to say so,
for I've got good berth elsewhere and
can get work in some other country if not
here, but think man ought not to keep
his mouth shut when there are so many
lives at stake all the time"
Mr.. Reynolds statement is corroDorated,
in an unprofessional way 10 be sure, by L..
K. Brewer, the fee-planter, who says he
has been on the Colon when she was loaded
so top-heavily that she dared not unship
her cargo in fair-weather swell at Ocos.
And M. Il. McKenna, another frequent
passenger on the Pacific Mail steamers, and
surely most disinterested witness, says
the same thing.
But none of these will be called as wit
nesses this afternoon. None of them have
been schooled by the Pacific Mail Com
pany; none of them are employees of that
COMPANY.

BAKERS DAY A SUCCESS,
They Celebrated Their Eigh-
teenth Anniversary at
SChuetZen Park.
a VERY ENJOYABLE OUTING.
Target Practice Occupied the
Spare Time,

The San Francisco Bakers Verein had a
most enjoyable picnic at Schuetzen Park,
San Rafael, yesterday. Captain Fred
Schumann, the lessee of the park, is an old
baker himself, having been one of the
half-dozen bakers who organized the
Verein eighteen years ago. So he took
special pains to prepare for the comfort OF
his old time comrades, ana the happy
faces of every man, woman and child on
the grounds showed that his efforts were
crowned with success.
The bakers and their families arrived on
the grounds early. The fact that they had
been up to and o'clock Sunday morn
ing did not keep them in bed, but as soon
as the days bread was in the oven they be-
gan making preparations for the picnic.
At IL A. NJ. there must have been at least
1900 people on the grounds, and few ar
rived on every train up to 4:30 P. NJ. All
were to have left for the City on the s
o'clock train, but as everybody was SO
thoroughly enjoying himself the hour OF
departure was forgotten, and it was $40
P NJ before the last OF the picnickers left for
San Francisco and Oakland.
The bakers did not come from San Fran
cisco and Oakland alone. Vallejo, Peta.
luna, Santa Rosa, Stockton and even Sac.
ramento were represented. They pre-
scented good front, and showed that the
Bakers Union is strong, well-organized
body.
The men who managed the Verein's
eighteenth annual celebration were Henry
Zaun, president; Karl Keller vice-presi-
dent; Joseph Schwab, secretary; Conrad
Viereckt, treasurer, and the following com.
mittee of three: Emil Eisolt, John c.
Lutz and Philip Hagemann.
The days sport consisted of bowling
racing, target-shooting and dancing
Prizes were given in each of these branches
and there were some interesting contests
In the children's race the youngsters came
In punched, and the judge being unable to
separate them, every one got a prize.
There were dolls and miniature sailing
vessels, rubber balls and harmonious
whips and pipes (candy) and an assert
ment OF articles from which those who
came in last were allowed to pick and
choose.
The lady in the boomers was again
present and wanted to enter in the young
ladies' race, but as soon as the other con-
testants saw her tuck up her skirts they
withdrew in body, so the committee had
to bar her. The event of the day was the
fat mems race, which Fred Schumann won
after an exciting contest.
For bowling the highest prize was $40,
and the man who made the last nine got a
sack OF -four. The player scoring the
most ''pudels" got sack of -four and a
great amount of good-natured bantering.
A ''puder' is when the bowler fails to
knock down any one of the nine pins. The
bowling was not concluded until few
minutes before the train left, so the prize
winners will not be known until next Sun
day. The winners in other events will re-
ceiVe their prizes at the same time
Quite a number of the bakers used the
rifle range and some good scores were
made. Besides them, the only rihemen

Milwaukee and New York this week to
contest in the biennial festival held in
those places. There were present A.
Strecker. w. Ehrenpfort, d. B. Faktor,

themselves with testing their sights and
getting their guns into the best possible
shape.
A. Jungblut is already on his way to Mil
