Various Committee Meetings. Ladles Invited. There was a meeting of all the committees appeinted to ook after the details of the Fourth of July celebration at the head- quarters of the Fourth of July committee yesterday. Mr. W. H. Davis, chairman of the executive committee, presided. Much enthusiasm was shown by the fifty gentle- men present. There was a spirited discus- sion as to whether the expenditure should be the same as on former occasions or on a much larger scale, and the individual who suggested the former found himself very much in the minority. Grand Marshal Edwin L. Forster re- ported encouraging progress, and an- nounced that it was his intention to in- vite all the military or civic organizations in the City to participate. General War- field had consented to a parade of the militia, including infantry, cavalry and artillery and naval battalion. The follow- ing communication was read: Headquarters Department of California, __ 8ax Fraxcisco, May 25, 1se»5.£ Mr. Edwin L. Forster, Grand Marshal Fourth of July Committee, Room 1, Mills Building, City— SIE: The department commander directs me to inform you that orders will be issued in due time for the following designated troops to par- ticipate in the ceremonies in this City attend- ant upon the celebration of American inde- pendence on the 4th af July next: From Angel Island—The colonel, staff, band and four compauies of the First Infantry. From the Presidio of San Francisco—Two troops of cavalry and two light batteries of ar- tillery. Very réspectfully, O. D. GREENE, Assistant Adjutant-General. He had received many assurances of co- operation and expected this to be the finest parade seen in the City for many years. The chairmen of the various committees were authorized to call their respective committees together at such time as they chose. G. W. Owen, secretary, read the follow- ing communications which, after some dis- cussion, were referred to the committee on finance: SAN FRANCISCO, May 24, 1895. To the Fourth of July Committee: 1 recom- mend the following for your consideration and adoption: Resolved, That all progosnlons requiring the expenditure of money shall be in writing and in proper form, excepting emergency expenses for small amounts.” Such propositions shall not be submitted to the executive committee for action unless they are accompanied by a certified check for such amount (previously de- termined by the president and by the chair- man of the executive committee) before pres- entation. Be It further Resolved, That all bills must receive the sig- natures of the chairman and secretary of the executive committee, as well as that of the auditing committee, before & warrant can be drawn upon the treasurer for the amount. Re- spectfully submitted. W. T. GALLOWAY, Chairman Auditing Committee. SAN FrANCISCO, May 27, 1895. W. T. Galloway, Chairman Auditing Committee— DEAR SIR: Realizing the extreme difficuity ex- verienced in securing funds for the celebration of the Fourth ot July I herewith submit a plan which in my judgment will be found to act as a safeguard against any misappropriation of money collected and will' also inspire confidence on the part of our citizens in the stability and business Integrity of the committee. Let each collector be supplied with a specially printed receiptbook bearing the name and location of the headquarters of the celebration committee and the fac-simile signature of the resident and secretary thereof. Let each Eook contain fift{ receipts and stubs to be numbered in duplicate and arranged for dupli- cate entries in the usual manner. Number each book and charge each collector with the same and make an entry stating the series number of his receipt. Furnish him with & written authorization showing his book and series number and state in the printed form in_each receipt that he is required to have and show the same. Put all the collectors under bonds. Require & return each day of all moneys collected and immediately mail to each subscriber an acknowledgement and receipt for the amount of his subscription and request him fo report any errors or inaccuracies. ublish in the daily papers a list, giving full name and address of coliector. Respectiully yours, G. W. OWEN. Mr. Kinney objected to requiring collect- ors to furnish bLonds, as those collectors wonld probably be business men of stand- ing who would resent such implied reflec- tion upon their honesty. It was explained that the purpose was to employ collectors and pay them a certain percentage of the amount collected. Mr. Caswell opposed employing collect- ors. If reputable business men made the canyass it would be more thoroughly done and with far better success. Grand Marshal Forster wanted no reck- less expenditure, but he wanted to see the parade surpass the one of 1889. He wanted it to be in every sense a patriotic parade. Mr. Ticknor moved that the matter be left to the discretion of the finance com- mittee, which motion prevailed. G. W. Owen made a strong plea for an imposing celebration, saying that it would prove a business ‘investment. For every dollar expended there would be a re- turn’ of ten. As an enterprising young man of Santa Cruz_had written him, ‘the country people will come if there is any- thing new, but they don't want to see the same old thing.” Mr. Hammond was of the same opinion, and said _that towns for which San Fran- ciscans affected fo feel supreme contempt had set this City an example by the layish- ness of their outlay for floral fetes. Charles J. King nominated 1. W. Hell- man Jr. treasurer of the general com- mittee and he was unanimously elected. Professor Smith moved that a letter be addressed to the Mayor asking that the flowers in use on that day be sent to the kindergartens, almshouses and other public ipstitutions of the kind, and that the papers be requested to give prom- inence to the matter, which motion was adopted. o The committees and chairmen are as follows: Executive committee, W. H. Davis; finance, Frank Dalton; auditing, W. T. Galloway: printing, Professor W. A. . Smiith; decoration, rank D. Worth; parade, 8. L. Lent; fire: works, A. A. Banz; music, Captain James A. Margo; literary, Dr. George L. Fitch; enter- tainment, A. Bouvier; invitation and rece) tion, H. P. Sonntag; transportation, S. B‘ Hammond. The chairman and secretary were in- structed to drait a circular lefter to the ladies who have been appointed on the re- spective committres, urging them to co- operate with the gentlemen in working for the success of the celebration. e ABOUT A BAKERY. Fraud Alleged in Its Management by Several Parties. Mary Queirolo, as administratrix of the estate of Gerolamo Queirolo and guardian of the minor heirs, has sued Angelo Cuneo and others, constituting a firm, G. Queirolo & Co., to have the said firm declared fraud- ulently carried on, and that certain prop- erty be declared to belong to the complain- ant. The objectin demand by the latter is a bakery and macaroni, vermicelli and aletta factory at 511 Green street, vals El $4000 and uyward. Aty Mrs. Queirolo, who is the divorced wife of Gerolamo Queirolo, charges A. D. Spliv- alo, attorney, with having conspired with the other defendants to form an alleged corporation for the purpose of enabling 1 Gerolamo Queirolo to conceal his property and place it beyond the reach of his di- Vo wife, who was claiming alimony. She says she had a full settlement with her ex-husband, but that after his death the defendants constituting the alleged firm kept the bakery and adopted tactics to de- vreciate its value by waste and neglect. Among the specific charges in this regard are “purposely supplying inferior goods, giving credit reckfesslv and neglecting to take proper steps to secure payment of debts due to said business,”’ with intent to “harass and annoy plaintiff and drive her out of said business.” THE CALEDONIAN PICNIC. Gold Medals and Big Cash Prizes for Contestants in Athletic Games. The Caledonian Club of this City will have its twenty-ninth annual excursion and games at Shell Mound Park on Thurs- day, May 30. For twenty-eight years past the annual outing of the Caledonians has been an event of more than passing in- terest, and the arrangements so far made give promise that this year’s will far ex- ceed all others. The club offers a most attractive pro- gramme, with prizes for competition far in excess of anything yet offered for athletic competition. There are the Wall, Jacoby and McNeill gold medals to begin with, for which the contests will be very warm. Besides there are $3000 in cash prizes for successful competitors, not to speak of one share of the stock of the San Franciscoand San Joaquin Railroad, which will go to the winning team in the great tug-of-war. CALLED NATURE'S CARPET, A Gardener’s Ingenious Piece of Work in Golden Gate Park. NOVEL DESIGNS IN FLOWERS. Combining Green, Brown, White and Scarlet for Pretty Effect. A carpet of green moss, 156 feet long and 21 feet wide, with immense designs in natural plants and flowers, is the latest attraction at Golden Gate Park., It isa novelty in floral work and very much at variance with the somewhat stiff geometri- cal figures that in the past have been looked upon as gems of the gardener’s art. This newest idea in flower, plant and moss work is on the sloping bank in front | of and to the west of the conservatory and | serves as a beautiful background for the | immense floral sun dial, which is being re- | constructed.

SPRECKELS' PROXY. He Failed to Produce It in Court as Ee- quired. When the case of C. A. Spreckels Jr. against the Oceanic Steamship Company came up in Judge Seaweil’s court yester- day Attorney Cole obtained leave to place C. A. Spreckels Jr. on the stand. The witness stated that he had lost the proxy which he had declared he recalvgd from C. G. Wheeler in order to vote his stock at the meeting of the Oceanic Com- pany on January 21, 1895. He said he_bad looked through all his papers and differ- ent suits of clothes, but so far had not been able to find it. He said he had ob- tained three blank proxies from Crocker & Co. on the morning of the meeting and had found the two which he had not used. He then gave his idea of the contents of the lost proxy. Attorney Cole said that he had not been able to procure the attendance of C. S. Wheeler that morning. He then asked the court as to what amendments the de- fendants had been permitted to make to their answer. He said his conviction Was that they were allowed to amend by the insertion of the denial that the directors of 05 CLove { A R THE LATEST FLORAL "ESIGNS AT THE PARK.

Trains from north and south will reach Shell Mound Park about noon and every- thing has been done to make the day’s en- f’oyment as pleasant as possible.

MRS, CATHERWOOD WIS, She Fought a Lawsuit for Her Children and Suc- ceeded. Judge Hastings Intended a $15,000 Note as a Trust for Thern. Judge Seawell yesterday handed down a judgment for plaintiff in the case of Jennie S. Catherwood, Charles C. H. Catherwood (by his gunardian, Clara L. Catherwood), Louise C. La Montagne and Ernest La Montagne, against William Giselman and William Giselman and R. B. Wallace as executors of the last will of 8. Clinton Hastings. Mrs. Clara Catherwood, by her attorney, Samuel M. Shortridge, has fought this case patiently on behalf of her children’s interests, and yesterday was awarded the guerdon of her devotion. It was a suit to declare that a note and mortgage for $15,000 on property at Spear and Harrison streets were held by William Giselman as trustee for the children, to declare that none but the plaintiffs had any right in the note and restraining its use as part of the estate of Judge Hastings, Judge Seawell in a written secision, ac- companying the judgment, said the de- fendants were rightin their contention that a trust must be complete to be of effect, but in this case an_absolutely perfect trust had been created. Mrs. Catherwood had re- quested her father to pay off and extinguish the mortgage held by Wells, Fargo & Co.’s bank on her %ropert , but for reasons stated by him he had declined to do so. At the same time he had expressed a de- sire to keep the manfnged roperty in Mrs. Catherwood’s family. William Gisel- man himself stated that Judge Hastings instructed him to go to Wefis, Fargo & Co.’s bank, buy the note and morfgage with his money and have an assignment in his name as trustee for the benefit of Mrs. Catherwood’s three children to be delivered to them at his death, saying that as soon as he could he would get Ryland Wallace to reduce the declaration of the trust to writing. Giselman had informed the Judge that he had consummated the transaction and Judge Hastings had said: ‘“Well, that settles that.” “It does mnot appear,” continues the opinion, ‘“‘that the written declaration was contemplated by Judge Hastings for the ?urpose of creating the trust, but merely or the purpose of affording durable evi- dence of it. The trust was complete the moment that the note and mortgage were urchased and the assignment made to siselman. Judge Hastings did not sa ‘go and buy the note and mortgage witg my money, take an assignment of it in your name and as soon as I am able I will 0 down and have Mr. Wallace prepare a leclaration of trust for the benefit of Mrs. Catherwood’s three children.’ He in ex- press terms directs that the assignment should be taken in Giselman’s name as trustee for their benefit. “Their rights became vested as soon as the purchased assignment of the note and mortgage were made, and Judge Hastings himself, even bad he so desired, had not gcwer to afterward revoke the trust which e had created. “Judgment will be entered for the plain- tiffs, but without costs.” —_— THERE is an article on this market seldom equaled and never excelled—Jesse Moore Whi ky.

Thomas Monroe, one of the gark garden- ers, who has the suvervision of the outside lants and flowers, said yesterday: “This | is something new, an idea of mine. When | the time came to arrange this bank so as | to make it attractive I felt that the people must have become tired of looking at the old style of decoration, so hit upon the idea of floral fiFures, taking for mF pat- terns the natural flowers, plantsand leaves. | 'hese were in_the designs increased in | ratio of two and three feet to the inch, and | that is how the proportions are main- | tained. The name given to this is nature’s | mrfiet, and the principal colors in the make-up are browns, greens, white and | scarlet. After the bank had been cleared of lyrevious growths, and the ground care- fully prepared, I drew the various de-| signs—free-hand drawing it was—and then | six men set the moss and plants under my direction. The designs, commencing at the eastern end, are an immense palm leaf, anemone or Japanese wind flower, mar- guerite with full blown flower, a bud and withered flower, sun flower, spray of flowers and various leaves, wild rose, shirley poppy, clover leaves, acanthus, buckeye, fern” and a butterfly to close up the end. ““The body of the carpet is of spruglen, a variety of moss, while the designs are of alternanthera in yellow; tri-colored and scarlet amabilis is used to make the veins; some of the stems are made of silver thyme and of achaveria, commonly_called ‘hens and_chickens’—sweet alysunim was also used in work.” The men who followed the lines drawn by the gardener worked on two-inch planks thrown across the designs and raised several inches above them. With a wooden Erod they made small holes in the ground, alf a dozen ata time, and then in each placed the particular plant cut and trimmed before hand. The foliage filled in and the stems and vines set, little bunches of moss were set and well watered. Now that these are all growing and the moss is blending it will require a great deal of watching and trimming to keep all the growths of even height and thereby maintain the pretty and striking effects. Last Sunday a large number of the visitors stopped to look at Gardener Monroe’s in- genius work and marvel at the abnormal- sized flowers and leaves. THOMAS G. LAWLER. The Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic Coming to Califernia in June. Commander-in-Chief Thomas G. Lawler of the Grand Army of the Republic will leave Rockford, Ill., early in June for a tour of the West extending to the Pacific Coast. He will attend the annual encamp- ment of the Oregon department, G. A. R., and then come to San Francisco without delay. According to the itinerary he will arrive in California June 20. The commanders of Lincoln, Thomas, | Garfield, Meade, Cass and Liberty posts of this city will be called together shortly after Memorial day to adopt a plan for the reception and entertainment of the national commander. There is talk of organizing quite a demonstration in honor of the official visit. The comman der-in-chief cannot tarry long in California. He must leave here June 24 in order to attend the G. A. R. encampment at Salt Lake, o it is roposed to ézn'e him two days in San rancisco and Oakland, one day in San Jose and one day in Sacramento. Olympic Salt Water Company. At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Olympic Salt Water Company the following the comfnny did not control three-fifths of the stock. Judge Seawell thought the amendments would be filed to-day and would speak for themselves. He added that he thought there was considerable force in the conten- tion of the defense that the shareholders had not been asked to call the desired meeting, and that until then the plaintiff could not invoke the aid of the courts. He might require further light on this point. ———— .

BUSH TAKES COMMAND, The New Colonel of the First Regiment Issues His Orders. His First Appointment as Staff Officer Is That of Adjutant J. A. Margo. Colonel H. P. Bush is now in command of First Infantry Regiment, N. G. C. He qualified yesterday, and took charge of his regiment. Colonel Bush started out on his first day by introducing some innova- tions in the management of the affairs of the regiment, and he hopes they will as- sist in increasing the interest in his wing of the National Guard. As soon as Colonel Bush qualified as the commanding officer of his reziment he was given by ex-Colonel Sullivan all the books and records of the organization. Colonel Bush then formalily became the colonel of the crack regiment, and one of his first acts was to appoint Captamn James A. Margo his adjutant and to issue the following order: HEADQUARTERS FIRST INFANTRY REGIMENT, N.G. C. SaN FRANCISCO, May 27, 1895. Regimental orders No. 6. 1. Hlvil;? been commissioned as colonel ot the First Infantry Regiment. Second Brigade X. G. C., and this day duly qualified as such, I hereby assume command of said regiment, The headquarters of the regiment will be at 1827 Market street, San Francisco. Office hours from 8 P. M. to 10 P. M. The office of the colonel will be at 134 Market street, San Francisco, to which place all com- munications will be sent. Office hours from 12 M. 0 1:30 P. M. 3. Company commanders will at once send the business address and place of residence of the commissioned officers and first sergeants ot their respective oomglnies and keep these headquarters fully advised of any changes therein. 4. The following appointment on the staff of the colonel commanding is hereby announced: James A. Margo to be adjutant with the rank of captain from date. He will be obeved and respected accordingly. H. P. BusH, Colonel First Infantry Regiment, N. G. C. The second section of the orders is an innovation. Every evening, except Sunday, there will be a field or staff officer n duty at the armory headquarters. The business headquarters of the regiment have heretofore been wherever the colonel was, but this changes things and systematizes matters. The appointment of Adjutant Margo will be a popular one. Captain Marfio formerly commanded Company F of the same regiment, and made a good record. The matter of the other staff offi- cers will not be acted on for a few days. Colonel Bush has announced that he will go actively to work to_increase the already Eood name of the regiment and to further uild it up. THE DURRANT OASES, They Will Be Tried by Judge Murphy ‘Withont Delay. Presiding Judge Sanderson yesterday as- signed the cases against Durrant, charged with the murder of Blanche Lamont and Minnie_ Williams, to Judge Murphy for trial. Judge Murphy has ordered Durrant to be brought before him for arraignment to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock. So far only indications of the line to be taken by the defense have developed, and it is not known whether it is ready for an imme- diate trial. The case for the ‘Peop]e is understood to be in readiness, and to-mor- row the District Attorney will ask the court to set as early a day as possible for the trial. e The Corbett Road. Judge Murphy yesterday rendered a judg- ment in favor of A. E. Buckman, who was sued by Behrend Joost to prevent the tearing down o{ & fence on Clara avenue. The deiendant claimed that the fence was upon a part of Cor- bett road, upon which Joost had encroached. ————————— CLEVELAND can scarcely be seen through his Almighty Dollar (Cigar) smoke. - THE PLAYERS" COLUMN, Amann Gives Lifelike Imper- sonations of Celebrities at the Orpheum. “A FACE IN THE MOONLIGHT.” Some Bright Unhackneyed Music at the Tivoll In “The May Queen.” The performance given last night at the Columbia Theater of ‘“‘All the Comforts of a Home” gave a large audience plenty of cause for laughter all through the evening. | Most of the members of the Frawley Dramatic Company entered thoroughly into the racy spirit of Gillette’s farce com- edy, and the two new members, Maclyn Arbuckle and Wilson Enos, proved them- selves to be useful additions to its ranks. Frawley himself gave a breezy and natural impersonation of Alfred Hastings, the young | man who raises the wind by turning his uncle’s house into a lodging-house with “All the Comforts of Home.” The partof Tom Mc- Dow, his henchman in the undertaking, was somewhat overacted by George W. Leslie, whose make-up was calculated to deter people from taking his rooms. H, B. Blackmore gave an excellent interpre- tation of the part of Theodore Bender, the frivolous retirea produce merchant, who had dreamed 21l his life of knowing an actress. and Miss Phosa McAllister as his strong- minded wife awoke the sympathies of every man in the audience for her down-trodden husband. Miss Belle Archer looked charming as Fifie Oritanski. Her acting was coquettish and graceful. Miss Blanche Dates looked pretty as Evangeline Bender, but her attitudes were rigid and she lacked abandon. Wilson Enos looked the partof the preten- tious swell to Yerfecuon and his acting was excellent, and Hudson Liston gave a finished rendering of the part of Augustus McSuath. All the other parts were well sustained. The Liliputians. “Humpty Dumpty's” second week at the Baldwin Theater, which opened last night, showed that the play is as popular as ever. There was a large audience and the little artists were received all through the spectacle with Warm applause, *‘The Face in the Moonlight.” The new play at Morosco’s is a highly roman- tic drama, full of villainy—not honest Ameri- can villainy, but French villainy and thatof the deepest dye, where Bourbonists and Bona- partists spy on each other, fight and murder with a reckless disregard for human life. Edmund Hayes, the new leading man, fills a dual role and sustains both characters satisfac- torily, although he seems more at his ease as the thief and murderer, escaping justice, than as the officer wearing the Bourbon uniform of white and gold. Miss Hall has her usual role of beauty in dis- tress, not to say in the lowest depths of despair, She looks quite lovely in her bridal robes of white satin and lace, although she goes through the most unparalleled troubles in those gar- ments. The double_role of the hero renders the plot rather complicated, but the costumes are gor- geous, and the situations most tragic. Fred Butler, as the Bonapartist general, plays his art, s usual, very well and Juila Blanc’s me. Pique is cleverly rendered. The most telling scene is where Babatis led out by a squad of soldiers, but dies {nstesd by his oW and. The May Queen, Rright, unhackneyed music is one of the chief attractions of “The May Queen” at the Tivoli this week. The opera is well staged and the members of the Tivoli stock company are thoroughly suited to their various roles. Gracie Plaisted is lively and spirited as Denisette, the May Queen, and the music suits her voice. In the scene with her grandmother both she and Branson do good work. Some of the choruses are particularly pretty and the opera goes with plenty of vim. The Orpheum, A great hit was made at the Orpheum last night by Amann, the impersonator, whose face caricatures present the most remarkable and lifelike likenesses to famous men. Amann’s changes are almost instantaneous. He began by presenting himself as the con- tented and the discontented man; then he im- personated Bismarck, General Grant and & host of other celebrities, his likenesses always being instantly recognized and hailed with delight. McIntyre and Heath, the exponents of plan- | tation life, and the eccentric comedians, Falke and Semons, in a musical comedy act, also made & good impression. The Alcazar. A sprightly performance of “The Corner Grocery”’ was given last night at the Alcazar Theater. Miss Anna Daly, a popular local re- citer, made quite a success as Jennie Burke and Jessie Norton's impersonation of Jimmy Nolan aroused plenty of mirth from a well- filled house. All the other parts were actea with plenty of spirit and fun. The Water Carnival, The clever acrobatic performances of the Rosaires won applause &t the Water Carnival last night, their comic boxing act being ex- ceedingly funny. Apart of the performance that is always worth seeing is the filling of the tank, and as for the bronze statues, many of them were really artisti special mention. Because of its much greater strength, the Royal Baking Powder is more econom- ical than any similar leavening agent. B L —— A Theatrigal Suit. Al Hayman & Co. have sued John F. Sullivan for $800 for breach of contract. Hayman al- leges that he had contracted with Sullivan for the J. K. Emmett Company to produce a play at the California Theater in the week ending June 16, 1895, Sullivan to receive 50 per cent of the gross receipts of the first $4000 and 60 ger cent of all amounts over that sum. The ate was snbsegu\:nllv changed from June 10 to May 18, 1895, the defendant agreeing not to produce the play in any other theater in the city. Heyman says that Suilivan did, how- ever, produce the play at Stockwell’s Theater on April 13, 1885, and that he (Hayman) was unable to obtain any other attraction for his theater in the meantime. ———————— Excursion to Shasta.
