No sooner had the first blaze been extin- guished when a second fire broke out in an adjoining room and another bundle of | rags saturated with coal oil was found | there. The matter was immediately reported to Fire Marshal Towe and he began an| investigation. He learned that Gularte | had his furniture insured for $300 and that | he was to have vacated the premises to- day. This evidence, in connection with the finding of the oil-sbaked rags in the place, convinced Marshal Towe that everything was not ail right, so he had the barber arrested and locked up pend- ing an investigation. —————————— Tyndall’s Lectures.

MINORITY WILL MAKE A FIGHT “Horseand Carts”Ready to Give McNab a Battle. Democratic Municipal Con- vention Promises to Be Warm. That there will be strong opposition to the Democratic County Committee at the municipal convention to-morrow evening Is evidenced by the organization of the minority, which consists of the ‘‘Horse and Carts” and Mahoney factions. There was a lively meeting of these factions last | night in the California Hotel. More than | 100 delegates to the convention attended and voted to give the McNab forces a battle from start to finish. Their motto | will be *“No surrender and no com-| promise.” i James H. O'Brien presided over the meeting. Thers were full delegations | from the Thirty-sixth, Thirty-seventh, Thirty-eighth, Thirty-ninth, Fortleth, | Forty-first, Forty-second and Forty-third | the Forty-fifth Assembly | District. The majority owe allegiance to | the “Horse and Carts,” but a number of Mahoney's crowd were present. | O'Brien stated that he had been advised | to call a meeting of a few delegates from | ench district, but decided to have a meet- | ing of all the delegates. He informed those present that it was the purpose of the meeting to map out a plan of cam- | paign to be followed in the convention. | There was a general discussion of the best methods to pursue and it was eventually | decided that a committee of eight, com- | posed of district chairmen, be appointed | to draft a platform {6 be presented to the | committee.

Clough and Louls Hirsch | will be nominated as secretaries of the convention and Morris J. Tyson will be nominated for assistant secretary. Throughout the meeting a great deal of | enthusiasm was shown. Every delegate tavored a fight on the floor of the conven- tion. The “Horse and Carts” boast of possessing all the arators. | When the convention is opened to-mor- row night in Native Son's Hall the first fight will be for chairman. The conven- tion will effect temporary organization. | The various committees will be appointed | and an adjournment will be taken until| Wednesday night. On that evening | Franklin K. Lane will be nominated for Mayor. It is understood that all the Democratic Supervisors on the present board will be renominated. } The Republican convention will be held on Tuesday evening in the Alhambra The- ater. i The delegates to the Republican municl- | pal convention from the Thirty-fifth As- sembly District, = United Republican League, held a meeting last Friday even- ing and elected John D. Daly chairman and H. N. Hall secretary. The delegation recommended the re- nomination of Edward J. Smith as Tax Collector and indorsed the candidacy of former State Senator Thomas C. Maher | for Public Administrator.. The delegation | | alzo recommended the candidacy of Harry Baehr for Auditor. Al g e L SCHEEL WILL DIRECT A | WAGNERIAN MASTERPIECE | Selections From “Parsifal” Included at the Next Symphony Concert. There is an international interest just Richard Wagner's “Parsifal” in New York. Frau Cosima Wagner secured attorneys to fight | Manager Heinrich Conried of the Metro- politan; Opera-house. The German press and musical critics are bitterly opposed | to the performance of “Parsifal” in any shape in America, but Conrfed has en-| gaged Felix Mottl, the great Wagnerian | conductor, to direct the programme. All eyes of the musical world are cen-| tered on New York, where “Parsifal” will | make its debut outside of Bayreuth. The! music is the last of Wagner's and is said | to be the crowning effort of his life. Fritz Scheel will give selections from ‘‘Parsi-| fal” at the symphony concert on Tuesday afternoon next at the Grand Opera-house. That it will prove a sensation is cer- tain and the music-lovers of the city will | be delighted to learn that they will hear this music, even in advapce of New York. In addition to this number the famous | Brahams No. 2 Symphony will be given by urgent request of many who heard | the symphony at the last concert. There | will also be ‘‘The Midsummer Night's Dream” from Mendelssohn and a num- ber of surprises that Scheel has in store for the patrons of these exceptional con- certs. Handel's Grand Concerto is among the number. Seats are on sale at Sher- man, Clay & Co.'s and on the day of the concerts at the Grand Opera-house.

A9 Each o Mo Plain The Fate of American Girls. In the high-heel country woman never walks and is generally out of repair. Driv- ing—that is, being driven—and riding while young afford many of the fashion- able women of France their principal ex- ercise. Meanwhile, the ultra fashionable spend their leisure being compressed by the modiste and being high-heeled by the shoemaker. Health statistics in Gaul tell the rest of the story. What is lacking in oné detail is apparent to even the untrained eye. The French woman no longer juvenile, is fat, shapeless, inert and morgue, cyn- jcal, selfish and blase. From being for a few vears “that dear old lady,” she de- scends into that “horrid old woman.” This is the fate American girls are pre- paring for themselves by adopting Gallic stupidity as to the heels and corsage. The pathologic consequences of these perni- cious vulgarities afford the medical pro- fession the largest proportion of its rev- enue.—Chicago Chronicle. O———p e — Following the example of the police of France, the police authorities of sections of Switzerland have recently bought dogs in order to train them to assist in catch- ing criminals, A Kind Father. A young man in his shirt sleeves and a straw hat was observed, one of the hot- test afternoons this week, wheeling a baby carriage backward and forward in front of one of the small houses in the vicinity of Fairmount Park. He appear- ed hot, but happy. “My dear,” came a voice from one ef the upper windows of the house. “Let me alone, can’t you,” he called back, and went on wheeling and mopping his face. An hour later the same voice came from the window In earnest and pleading tones “George dear!” “ .cell, what on earth do you want?" he asked. “Have the water pipes burst?” “No, George dear, but you have been wheeling Anna’s doll all the afternoon; is it not time for baby to have a turn?’— N.

They all insisted on be- | ing allowed to be taken to the cage to see the little cubs and join in the christening ceremonies. A procession of the young- | sters was formed, and with great dignity | they marched up to the home of the new- comers. First came baby elephant Boo, elght months old, followed by baby camel Miss Sahara, six months old; baby sacred calf Little Tom, three months old; little spot- | ted fawn London, three months old; the, three baby lion cubs, Dexter, Beloit and | Sandy, six months old; the three baBy | tiger cubs, Hope, Faith and Charity, three weeks old, and last waddled along the} two little black leopard kittens, An- tony and Cleopatra. A circle was formed about the home of the little strangers, and big elephant Jum- bo, standing in the middle, acted as mas- | ter of ceremonies. Without any unneces- | sary fuss he announced that the names of the causes of ail the XXmmotion would be Frisco, Alameda and San Jose. This | was halled with acclamations of delight | on all sides.

In this bag, you see, the cat feels me all the time, as I carry him in my arms, and he knows he is not deserted. If he had not traveled with me up and down to the seashore for years I shouldn’t have as much confidence in him, and cer- tainly wouldn't allow his head out now for a breath of fresh air. “I wouldn’t even trust him if he coul get one paw out, for he naturally has the scary-cat nature and might fly before he realized there was no danger. As a mat- ter of fact, he's a bit intoxicated. Two hours before starting I put a bunch of fragrant catnip in the bag and didn’t let him inside until he was crazy over fit. When I did_he scurried in with a rush, and that saved him the fright he'd have felt at being put in against his will. When we get to our cottage I simply put a bit of catnip an his cushion and he knows he is at home.”"—Philadelphia Record, g SPECIAL ornaments, New black Silk Coats, SEE OUR Bluie Etamine ailor Made Suits Richly trimmed with silk and formerly $27.50, closingout at..... $716.50 MOVES L a2 1000 Wholesale Manufacturers 1142-1146 MARKET ST.
