INSECTS WILL
 BE CLASSIFIED Every Known California Species to Be Duly
 Listed.
Professor Woodford Of Berke- ley Is Devoting Months
 to the Task.
Nearly 10000 Species Will App ca in the List When Finally
 Completed.
BERKELEY, March

BERKELEY, March 3.-Assistant Professor c. w. Woodworth of the de- partment of entomology at the State University is busy at work upon com plete descriptive and bibliographical list of ali the genera and species of California insects. The making of the list is great undertaking, for it will include all the way from 5000 to 10000 species. No State has ever yet essayed the task of collecting a complete list except New Jersey. In the little State, famous among travellers by its mos quitoes, over 5000 species of insects were classified, and Professor Woodworth believes that Californias list will far exceed in numbers that of New Jersey.
 The extent of the task Of making the list can be realized when it is known that the mere copying of the names of the different species will keep two type writers busy for at least six months. The work of reference and classification will of course represent many times that amount of time and labor. Under each species there will he not only the scientific classification CT it. but the region in which it is found, the various names under which earlier entOmOlo~ gists classified it before it was finally claSSlfled and the various entOmoloSlcal works in which reference is made to it.
 While the greater part of the work of describing the species and locating the referneces to them has been done, the work of classifying and cataloguing them has scarcely been more than be- gun, so the actual number of species can only be guessed at. The total num- Der of species, however, will probably reach nearly 10000. In the bee family alone there are thirty-one genera known in California, while in the New Jersey list only twenty species were enumerated In these twenty-one genera there are in the neighborhood of one hundred species
 Professor ,Voodworth is also prepar- ing a complete bibliography of all the works in the university library refer ring to California entomology. This list will show every reference made in any book or magazine to the insects of this State. The list will be invaluable to students of entomology.
 Professor Woodworth's catalogue of California insects will probably not be ready for publication for some months. The list will undoubtedly be eagerly sought by entom Jlogists all over the United States, as the famous New Jersey report was much prized.

WEBB TAKES
 ANOTHER WIFE His Divorce Case Created Great Surprise at San
 Lorenzo. His Former Wife Believed in All Kinds of Charms and
 Talismans.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call

90S Broadway, March 3.
 Edward Otis Webb of San Lorenzo was married last Tuesday to Henrietta Lehn- hart, in San Francisco, by Rev. pr. Car son. The marriage of MT. Webb recalls one of the most sensational divorce trials ever held in this county, and which in volved pr. Dean, well-known physician of Haywards.
 The Webbs were the leaders of society in the interior part of the county, and lived on a large ranch at San Lorenzo. The filing of a divorce complaint by the husband caused a sensation, for every body thought that the Webb household was a model for happiness and peace.
 The trial proved that very short time ofter the marriage Otis Webb discovered he had made mistake. His wife had been married twice before becoming Mrs Webb and had peculiar notions about fortune tellers charms, love powders and similar talismans. MT. Webb did not place much confidence in his wife after he discovered her peculiarity, and with the aid of a detective he soon procured evidence upon which Judge Ogden speed lily granted him a divorce.
 Mrs. Webb stoutly denied all the ac- cusations of her husband, and the gen. eral impression was that he had acted very hastily until some letters were pro duced which Mrs. Webb had been weak enough to write to a lady friend and which convicted her without a doubt. This occurred four years ago, and now the Webb household has been rehabilitated and the new mistress is in charge.

An Honor Resigned.

ALAMEDA, March 3.-For a long time c. A. Blank, citizen. had charge of the flag in the public park, and took great weather Some time ago he removed to Oakland, and had to give up his gratuit- ous but patriotic task. The Grand Army post was requested to supply a substi- ute. and did so, new flag of large size being ordered. Now the veteran to whom had been assigned the duty of raising and lowering the flag has thrown up his job in disgust. He says he should not pull a seventy-five pound flag up a lsO- foot pole five or six days in succession with no other pay than the honor of it.
 It appears that he was not posted in the ways of his predecessor. Living in the neighborhood of the park are a number of patriotic boys. who used to esteem 1t a great favor to be permitted by him to aid in raising and lowering the flag, thereby Tightening the task materially.

 Haywards is greatly excited over a leg. Nearly everything in Alameda County figures sooner or later in poh- tics, and now the leg of Alonzo Brad ford is likely to prove a serious draw back to the Republican organization in the little town.
 -: As stated in last Sundays Call AlonZo Bradford has one of the Confederates bullets in his knee, and an X-ray pie ture. of his limb with the lead in it was sent to Washington as part of his petition to be appointed postmaster of Haywards.
 It is well known that George Oakes son of the immortal Tony, and Re- publican editor, has all but been prom ised a place and that his name was Submitted to the President by the Cali fornia delegation at least two weeks ago. Up to this time, however, MT ~McKfnley has not sent the nomination to Congress of MT. Oakes, and Brad ford'S hopes are rising.
 Among Republicans there IS nothlne talked of just now but AlonZo Brad ford,s leg and the pull it may exercise at Washington. Leg-pulllng, as poll ticians understand it, is time-honoreC practice on this side of the bay and has been brought to perfection, put this lS the first instance on record where the leg is expected to do the pulling in stead of being pulled. Tne Republicans at Haywards are divided over the prop osition Bradford is claiming the sup port of the veterans, and his friends :. are sending all kinds of petitions on tc Washington, and it is claimed that they are not backward at personalities. .

He was, a few years afterWard, advanced to a better position with the company in Birmingham, and. as stated, was put in charge about four years ago, of the company's business in this city. He has made phenomenal record here, and the company has rewarded him by giving him one of the best jobs in it's service. MT. Chamberlain owns an att tractive little home at Woodlawn, and while he is exceedingly fond of Montgom- cry, he is naturally inclined to go back to his old home in Birmingham and re-es- tablish himself and his family in his pret- ty suburban cottage.
 Everybody in Birmingham knows Mr. Chamberlain as the big, handsome piano man. He has always been a good friend to The Age-Herald and sings its praises as he goes through the state for his firm. It is a matter of a great deal of regret to his friends here, and especially to the mem- bers of the gun club, that fortune has willed he should leave here.
 MT. Chamberlain is president of the Montgomery Merchants and Installment Dealers association, is noble grand of the Chiffon lodge of Odd Fellows, and is an active member of the local artillery com- pany.
