' With the greater Norrta & Row cir
cus, , museum, -menagerie, hippodrome
nd congress pf nations which will ex
. Mbit In this city next Monday and Tues
day afternoons and nights are the great
est number of clowns. Jesters, panto
mimes'," buffoons, laneys, Torlcks and
funny fellows in general, ever assembled
'with 'any tented organization in the his
tory of the amusement business.
One will encounter a big. fat clown
made up to resemble "Little Red Rid
ing Hood," another to represent "Sim
ple Simon." and so on through the long
list of nursery rhymes. Aesop's fables
have been-called upon to furnish mate
rial for . these funny felows. Little
flays are enacted everywhere around
he large hippodrome track constantly.
"Poxy Grandpa," the "Kauenjammers,"
"Happy Hooligan." "Nervy Nat." the fat
policeman, and all of the familiar, funny
characters wll be seen In $7 varieties.
These clowns are a clever lot of fel
lows, too. They receive large salaries
for the display of foolishness that they
are constantly engaged in. Take that
funny pantomime clown for Instance,
To to Due ro, who represents "Old Mother
Goose" astride "W property horse.
Ducro receives a salary of $86 per week
tor hta p"art of th&u. His latest cre
ation entitled the "Rabbit Hunt." In
which a little dog Is made up to resem
ble! a rabbit, la' one of the most dell
clouly funny . creations ever, presented
to, the public. It is intensely clever and
artistic too, and Ducro does some of the
cleverest pantomime work seen In many
a Cay in this little sketch.
There are 88 clowns with the greater
Norrla & Rowe circus this season,
among them being men who have ap-
fieared In every land making people
augb. This clowning business with a
big circus Is funny, yet never coarse.
It is harmless fun. and the old enjoy it
aa well aa the young. Where la the
child that will not remember the clown
of the circus, always? During the run
of the greater Norrts & Rowe circus In
Ban Francisco this spring 279,873 per
ilous paid admission to the big show.
This la the greatest number of people
that ever assembled In a period of 30
days at a circus performance In the
west. The press of the city were unani
mous In their praises of the new big
show and the clowns were especially
commended for their cleverness. Tents
wHI be located at the corner of Twenty
Sixth and Raleigh streets.

MEN'S AND BOYS OUTFITTERS
193-195 FIRST STREET CORNER TAYM
THE RIGHT GOODS AT THE RIGHT PRICES
Herman Wubbenhorst, proprietor of
the Rose City saloon, 288 Burnslde
street, walked off the draw of the Burn
Bide bridge shortly after I o'clock this
morning, drowning before he could be
rescued. His body was found floating
on the water a ahort distance below
the bridge about 15 minutes later by
Harry paw, dock watchman, who set
out In a rowboat In response to cries
far help from the bridge gatetender.
A -moat singular feature of the acci
dent Is the fact that six years ago
Wubbenhorst fell from the bridge draw
In exactly the same manner. That time
be managed to grab a life preserver
thrown him from the bridge. Foreman
Btuteman of the bridge says Qatemen
ibnrdett and Campion reported to him
ithls morning that neither had seen
I-Wubbenhorst when they ordered every
thing clear for opening the draw in re
sponse to signals from the steamer
Diamond O, which was coming upstream
'with a barge In tow. They believe that
the drowned man must have been on
the draw for some time before the bells
'to get off "were sounded.
wubbenhorst lived with his wife and
eon at 69-H Grand avenue, and was In
the habit of walking home from his
place of business after closing up for
the night It was while on his way
home this morning that he walked Into
the river exactly as he did one mornln
six years ago. The bridge crew knew
him well, but failed to eee him ap
proach the draw this morning.
Gatetender Burdett. who was stationed
at the east end gate, says he heard the
splash of the falling man when the
bridge had swung out sbout 40 feet.
He Immediately called out and at the
same time tossed a life preserver Into
the water about 60 feet below. Thon
was no response to his calls and he
failed to see any one when a few mo
ments later he lowered his lantern by
means of a long rope kept handy for
that purpose. Search for the body was
continued, however, snd In lees than
half an hour It was found floating face
downward near a lumber raft close to
the east bank. Every effort was made
to resuscitate the body.
Wubbenhorst was 4a years of age.
He waa a member of the Eagles lodge.
Coroner Flnley Is Investigating the
circumstances, but will probably not
hold an Inquest. The date for the
funeral has not yet been set.
