CHIEF OF THE PENSION
BUREAU HERE FOR REST
GENERAL EVANS VISITS HIS SON
AT THE PRESIDE.
Some Very Interesting Statis-
tics Concerning the Magni-
tude of the Depart
ment

Among the distinguished arrivals Of yes
terday was Henry Clay Evans, United
States Commissioner of Pensions, who ar
rived from Washington and is now a
guest of his son, Lieutenant H. c. Evans
Jr. Of the Third Artillery, now at the Pre-
sidio.
General Evans says he is here merely to
visit his son and to enjoy a short respite
from the constant strain of his official
duties in Washington. Though an ardent
expansionist, he will not discuss anything
pertaining to politics. as he says he gets
enough Of that subject at home and
wishes to leave 1t aside when he is out on
vacation.
General Evans reports the bureau over
which he exercises authority as being in
an exceedingly prosperous condition, and
he gives some interesting statistics con-
corning the magnitude of the concern. The
distributions amounted last year to the
enormous sum of s13S, ,255 900, and it re-
quired the services of a Commissioner,
fifteen chiefs of division and 1924 other
clerks to do the work
Since the Spanish-American war there
have been 1000 applications made and 303
allowed. This does not include the wild
ows of the men who perished with the
Maine and who are being cared for at the
maximum rate.
General Evans will remain here about
a week and will then return East to re-
sumo his official duties.

OF some one better acquainted with drugs
than the prisoner who purloined atropine
from the drugroom in the jail last Friday

This resolve on the part of the "fends"
was brought about by eight of them who
en5oyed-or at least thought they were
about to enjoy-a soothing dose of NOR

instead. The Sheriff's deputies are mum

OPENING OF WALTER
MAINS BIG CIRCUS
UNUSUALLY LARGE AUDIENCE
CROWDS INTO THE TENTS.
Everv Feature of the Show is Particu-
larly Observation-Disclosures
That Win Applause.

Walter Mains monster circus gave its
initial evening performance last night at
Recreation Park, corner of Sixteenth and
Folsom streets, and judging from the big
crowd that filed into the massive tents
it is safe to predict that large audiences
will be entertained at every performance.
Every feature of the varied performance
is highly entertaining. Some of it's vaude-
Vile features are as good as If not better
than any seen here in years. The Liv-
ingSton family do a unique tumbling act
that wins merited applause from all sec
tions of the grand stands. Joe Barris'
63-horse act is indeed marvellous.
The three La Petite brothers do a
thrilling act on the trapeze and one of
them, made up as clowns, makes a won
derful Jump from the safe net to the
performing pigs brought forth spasms of
mingled appreciation and laughter
Professor John II. Gilrs band of thirty
pieces furnished circus music that has no
place in the old stereotyped order that as
sails the ears days after the show has
departed. 1T dispenses high-class music
and after every piece. everybody feels
strongly tempted to applaud.
Captain Thompsons Rough Riders all
of whom saw active service under Teddy
Roosevelt in the charge up San Juan Hill
do some reckless riding and win rounds
of applause.
Mile. Burke does a toe revolving act in
midair that makes the nerves twitch and
the heart beat faster.
All in all Mains circus Is the hest that
has amused San Francisco audience in
many a year. A score of clowns are
prancing around the big tent all the even
ing and they make more noise and cause
more genuine laughter in a minute than
a dog with tin can tied to his tail w1uId
in a whole year.
Mains menagerie embraces every spe-
cies of wild beast from performing mon
keys to the largest elephant in the world
The sideshow is an unusually entertaining Q
adjunct to the big show 1t contains

midget to the fat man and the manage
ment hopes to secure before the show de-
parts man who writes names with his
