Flames Cause Panic
 Among Circus Animals

San Francisco, Sept, 13.--Fire which it is believed had its. origin in sron- taneous combustion, badly damaged the wall paper and paint store of John Quldt at Twelfth and Market streets today. Four fremen were slightly in jured in fighting the blaze. One man was struck by the flying nozzle of a hose and the other three cut by broken glass. The building adjoined the lot on which the tents of circus were set and only a change in the direction of the wind prevented the destruction of the canvas structures.
 The noise and excitement and the sight of the flames caused panic among the horses and animals belong ing to the circus which the attendants had great trouble in subduing.

The appointment of our outgo-
ing insurance commissioner to the
Presidency of a New York COM
pany with which he has had con-
stant quarrels during his term of
office is commented on by the
papers as a remarkable example
of the company's desire to secure
a competent man and they seem
to think that his wonderful abil-
ity in the office of insurance COM
missioner is the cause. Ii appears
to US more likely that they read
his articles printed during the
Adams and Shafroth campaigns
and not only appreciated the fact
that here was a man after their
own heart, but also that they were
securing the most versatile all
round liar at present on earth.
Their securing of Rittenhouse is
a magnificent stroke of policy.
particularly if they are as crooked
as he has constantly charged. We
congratulate the company.
