BARBER MAY HAVE TO
FACE CHARGE OF ARSON
Fire Marshal Towe Believes That
Antoine Gularte Set Fire to
His Shop

Antoine Gularte, the barber in whose
shop at 4151s Powell street a small fire
was discovered at o'clock yes
terday morning, may have to face
a charge of arson. Yesterday he
was arrested and locked up in the
City Prison awaiting an Investigation by
Fire Marshal Towe. 1t is likely that the
barber may be formally charged with ar
son in a few days.
When the fire was discovered in the
shop rhe department responded, and in
one corner of the room a small quantity
of rags soaked in coal oil was discovered
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 $500 and that
he was to have vacated the premises to-
day. This evidence, in connection with
the finding of the oil-soaked rags in the
place, convinced Marshal Towe that
everything was not all right, so he had
the barber arrested and locked up pend
ing investigation.

CIRCUS STILL
DRAWS CROWDS
Two-Day-Old BabyLions
Attract Great At
tentiOn.

Ringing Bros great show drew tremen-
dous crowds yesterday at both afternoon
and evening performances. At the night
performance the huge canvas was packed
to it's fullest capacity, many being obliged
to stand during the entire evening. So
ciety was out in great force, the boxes be-
ing crowded with elegantly dressed men
and women.
A large number of people spent the
whole evening enjoying the many wonders
of the animal kingdom that fill the big
menagerie tent. The great herd of ele-
plants and the big band of camels all
came in for attention and admiration, but
the most attention was devoted to the
three little baby lions that were born in
the tent on Thursday night. Although but
two days old, they have commenced to
frolfc about the cage Ike little kittens.
Their arrival caused a great sensation
among all the other little baby animals in
the Enclosure. and they all evinced the
greatest interest in the new addition to
their kingdom. 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
corners.
First came baby elephant BOO, eight
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-
DO, standing in the middle, acted as mas
ter of ceremonies. Without any unneces-
sary fuss he announced that the names
of the causes of all the 1Cmmotion would
be Frisco, Alameda and San Jose. This
was hailed with acclamations of delight
on all sides. When the expressions of en-
thusiasm had somewhat subsidized Dexter,
the father of the trio, and Sultana, the
mother, gave vent to their appreciation
of the kind reception rendered to their
offspring by a series of thunderous roars
that fairly shook the tent and sent many
Of the more timid of the company to seek
immediate cover.
The reception, which was the most note
worthy that has taken place this season
in the Ringing show, came to an end at
midnight.
There will be two performances to-day
and two tomorrow, which will close the
season here.
Tuesday the circus will give two per-
formances in Alameda and then will go
to San Jose.

who were run down by a switch engine
at Twenty-fourth and Mission streets yes
terday morning, are improving and both
are out of danger. The men were re-
moved to the City and County Hospital

The old maids of western New York
held II convention at Pittsford last week
which was corker. Miss Amelia Hig-
ginson, of Honeoyo Falls, is the pres
ident of this unique organization of
ancient virgins and the way she went
after President Roosevelt in her open
ing speech was a caution to cats.
''The President believes in the rear
ing of large families" she screamed.
HE has right to his opinion, but
when he places childlessness in the
same category with criminal acts, ne
goes too far. The President is the ia
ther of what we Americans would call
a large family, but he is not the moth
er of large family. Applause, dur
