Of circuses many have come and gone, | but never a one like this, which has set itself down at Sixteenth and Folsom streets and looks solid enough and hig enough to remain for all time. Barnum and Balley and Adam Forepaugh used to be names in the circus world and where they set up their tents people crowded and wondered at the magmtude of their | moving canvas cities; but this of Ring- lings: You could put Barnum’'s whole show inside the big tent and stili leave room for the menagerie. Everything about the show bears the brand of the best of its kind, from the smallest tent pin to the big American flag. ) But the show itself is the thing, and is the only one that ever came here that justifies the press agent's adjectival out- bursts. There are three rings and two stages and they are all full at once from starti to finish—and that without endangering “circus neck,” for each act is so absorb- ing that it keeps its particular audience guessing as to what's coming next and leaves it no time to “lamp” on anything but that set before it. There are 1000 peo- ple with the show, the population of a emall village; there are 500 horses, enough to mount a troop of cavalry; and these horses are worth looking at for them- selves, the blooded ones, sleek and light- muscled, the working ones, broad-backed and deep-chested, elephants of their kind, and all professionals.

The show is so crammed full of good | things that the audience grows weary of | applauding and several good acts don':| get the recognition they deserve. A | kaleldoscopic panorama is what the pro- gramme calls the opening feature, en- titled the “last days of the ~entury,” and it is no misnomer. A mass of mounted | men representing cavalry of all nations, | clad in uniforms of gorgeous hues and glittering where the light catches them, move in and out and roundabout unts | the whole arena seems alive with them‘ and eyes water trying to follow their com- | plex evolutions. | far the most sensational and original | act’known is that of John O'Brien, who | with a whip in his hand and directs the | movements of sixty horses, which march round him on ascendant gallerles. Spader Johnson and his “school of un- ruly fools” furnish the comedy of element, and can give anything in their line cards and spades. Their makeups are very orig- inal and their work is novel; in fact they are a striking exception to most of their genus; they are really funny. Display No. 16 brings out the hareback riders, William DeVan, John Rooney and Cecil Lowanda, who are stars and no mis- take. Their horses go like whirlwinds and the ordinary slow seesaw canter of the bareback horse is not known to these three. The Flying Fishers and the DaComas are acrobats whose feats make the house gasp. They throw each other about in midair and hang by their toes from places where a fly would have to ponder. Then they let go of trapezes just when it seems most important for their necks that the should hold tight, and &0 spinning through the air like tumbler pigeons into the arms of their ‘“sisters” and “brothers, who receive them upside down with one, two or half a leg clinging to some fraii support. 4 | liked to be calle | jewelry belonging to her mistress. | lowing three days at the lake. (IRK_HHS TALK WITH WEBSTER D KNOWLTON Dismissed Vice Principal Must Submit His Case _in Writing. L State Superintendent Is Not Sure That He Has Authority to Ren- der Judgment in the Matter. e State Superintendent Thomas J. Kirk returned from the normal school confer ence in San Jose yesterday afternoon and he found Superintendent of Schools Web- ster and Vice Principal Knowlton, recent- ly suspended for a year, awaiting him at the Palace Hotel. Mr. Webster wrote to Kirk a week ago that he desired to seco him the first time he came to San Frau- cisco. Kirk was in the city for a short time Wednesday, when he sent word to ‘Webster that he would see him Friday atternoon. Knowlton carried a small satchel, which contained various papers and documents which he intended to present to the State Superintendent in defense of his case. He had expected ihat Kirk would give him a lengthy hearing, as in a case of this kin where pay has been withheld the defenc ant has the privilege of appealing to the State Superintendent, whose ruling in the matter is final. But Superintendent Kirk was not ready to hear Knowlton verbally. “‘If ycu wiil put your case in writing and address it to me I will take the matter under con- atd Kirk to knowlton, add- this is a que: tion for me to pass jud, it upon.

They believe that after committing the crime the pair left the city, presumably going to Sacramento. The Chief of Police of the lalle‘r glace has been wired to arrest them on sight. The Stone woman is not unknown to the police, Several months ago she was em- ployed as a servant in a house in the | Western Adadition, and during the tem- porary absence of the family she skipped with about a thousand dollars’ worth_of She was arrested a short time afterward for the crime, but as all the stolen jewelry was recovered by the detectives her em- ployer refused to prosecute her and the case against her was dismissed. THAT GLORIOUS MOUNTAIN AIR That You Get So Much of Up at Tahoe. The oldest Californian cheerfully bears witness that he has never known such a persistently perfect summer and autumn season as in this blessed year of our Lord 1900. And especially is this true of the moun- tain districts, where the temperature is delightfully equable and the air so pure and crisp that it fairly snaps. 1t is this unusually inviting condition that prompts the transportation com- panies interested to arrange for another popular excursion to Lake Tahoe, the tickets to be $10 for the round trip and al- 0se who can take full advantage of this chance should go Friday evening, September 28, and return on the following Tuesday; but the tickets will be good on Saturday even- ing also. The glories of Tahoe and its rugged en- vironment are simply matchless and this very cheap rate puts them within every- body's reach. ——————————— A Carpenter’s Bad Fall.

Lowell's addresses on political subjects ought to be gathered together into a sin- gle cheap volume and sent broadcast through the land. Nowhere are the dan- gers of modern democracy more wisely and wittily set forth, always. however, with concurrent unfaltering faith in the worth of the dcmocratic ideal and in the certainty of its future. There is not muc scientific thoroughness or acumen in Low- ell's comments on Institutions and polit- | ical tendencies, very little philosophic sug- | | | by having lost any gestiveness such as is found in Sir Henry Maine's or Mr. Bryce’s treatment of simi- lar topics. But there is great practical wisdom, abundant Intuitive insight into the American character and its elements | of weakness and strength, and a wise and acomplished sense of the possible vaiue | to Americans of foreign experiments and | methods and traditions, and, finally, there | is everywhere a glowing affection for the faith of the fathers and a noble loyalty to ideals in politics—a faith and a loyalty | | that we nowadays perhaps more than ever need to have eloquently expressed by way of countercheck to the “smart’ selfishness of many of our practical poli- ticians, and also to the satirical superior- | ity of the “remnant,” who too often in- jure their canse by their airs and affecta- tions. Lowell's wise earnestness and fer- vent_urbanity impress and conciliate in- stead of rasping a repelling.

The labor of securing a jury to try Peter McGlade on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses was begun before | Judze Burnett vesterday morning. Among the talesmen examined many said they could not give the defendant a fair and | impartial trial. They were dismissed. | Those accepted to sit on the jury ar J.

Seidl, 658 Mission street; J. Keane, 801 Post street; H. Bird, 28 Mason street; G. J. McCraley, 508 Market street, and H. Mangels, Hayes and Franklin streets. A special venire of thirty talesmen was ordered summoned, returnable Monday morning. It is expected tirat the jury will be completed out of this list of thirty and that by afternoon the taking of testimony will begin. Among the talesmen examined and dis- missed was H. W. Burmeister. He said that he had heard the case discussed, but it was not his fault. He was being shaved, he said, and the barber commenced on the | McGlade trial and kept up his argument until Burmeister departed. District At- torney Byington asked Burmeister to_tell the name of the barber. Attorney T. J. Lenncn objected. ““You can't stop a bar- ber talking,’ he said. The court agreed, sustained the objection and dismissed the talesman. TOWNE IEETING TO-NIGHT.
