This Issue of THE CALL presents some Of
the younger matrons Of San Francisco soci-
ETY.. More than one of these is essentially
a part OF our social life by virtue of having
been born and brought up in this city, enter
ing upon an inheritance of social prestige.
The homes of some Of these ladies are mar
wells of artistic beauty within and of archi-
tectural imrressiveness. There are must
clans and collectors of precious gems. of ar
ticles of bric-a-brac and vertu in the list.
1t is matter of pride to us as San Francis

the exception. but as the type of a large and
expressive number of society ladies who are
an ornament to our own community and to
others as well.

Was the widow of the late Henry Edgerton.
On Monday of Easter week, 1889, her mar
rage with DR.. William j. Younger was
solemnized OF Grace Church, the Rev. r. c.
Foute officiating. On this occasion the
church was particularly beautiful, the
Easter decorations of the day previous hav
ing been reinforced by floral expressions of
the Joyous feelings inspired by the occasion.
The music was particularly fine, and,
briefly, the wedding was one of the prettest
that has ever taken place within that sacred
edifce.
The first post-nuptial reception given by
the happy couple was held at their resi-
dence, 1414 California street.-the McMullin
home, which DR.. Younger had purchased
and completely renovated and reitted.
Mrs. j. n. Porter of Sacramento assisted
them in receiving their guests, and the
warm welcome was mingled with many sin
cere congratulations. The music was en-
ticing, and as it was impossible to resist its
gentle influence dancing became general
ana was greatly enjoyed. A delicious sup
per was served at tete-a-tete tables before
midnight. Mr.. Walter c. Campbell favored
the assemblage with two beautiful selec-
tions, sung in his inimitable manner" The
Bedouin Love Song" and Eyentide." a
few more dances were then IL order, and 1t
was fully o'clock before the delighted
guests departed.
In stature Mrs. Younger is slight, not
tall rather fragile in appearance She
also is an attendant at Grace Church. AS a
society pianist she stands unrivaled.

Tim Corcoran's Story About Robbery
He Did Not Commit.

He Did Not Commit.
Tim Corcoran, who pleaded guilty two
weeks ago to a charge of robbery, was be-
fore Judge Murphy yesterday. The prisoner
changed his plea to mot guilty." and when
Intercepted upon his reason for so doing he
replied that he had not committed the rob-
berry of which he was accused, but because
he had been convicted of previous offense
he had hoped by pleading guilty to be let off
of mot guilty" would be believed.
His story was that a jolly party of three
men. himself among the number, had spent
the night together in room He had a
row with Ulvers, the complaining witness,
knocked him down and then ran away. A
man named Willis, one of the party, then

MRS. EDGAR f. PRESTON

Is one of cur younger matrons. She is
San Francisco woman, educated in our best
schools. and by her bright wit and spark
ling conversation is a representative of
whom we may be proud. She has spent
many months in the East this year, and her
friends have lamented her absence most sin
cerely, for she is a charming companion and
q delightful hostess. Last winter her ele
CANT home, at 1922 Sacramento street, was
the scene of some remarkably successful
entertainments. for Mrs. Preston has never
hesitated 10 lend substantial aid to worthy
cause by allowing her residence TO be used
in the name of sweet charity. The men,
bers of the Mizpah Club issued about 1900
invitations to reception and high tea at
her house last November. In response a
constant stream of guests flowed through
the handsomely decorated rooms during the
whole afternoon. The hallway, parlors
and MUSHROOM were very handsomely dec
GRATED with ferns, palms and flowers, and
the daylight having been excluded, the
effect was that of an evening party. Mrs.
Preston is a petite brunette, with raven
hair and jet black eyes. She is a constant
attendant at Grace Church. and is always
responsive to the call of charity. She is a
kind-hearted woman-a sympathetic friend.

ASTOR's NEW HOTEL.

Some of the Astor millions are to be in.
vested in the erection of q new hotel in
New York. 1t is to be bigger, more beauti.
full and better than any hotel in the coun-
try, the gossips say, and if Mr.. Astor wills
it there is no reason why these superlatives
should not be attained. Mr.. Astor has the
ground, the money, and what he has not he
can buy. New York will have a hotel
worth Dragging about if Mr.. Astor carries
out his intention. The Eastern metropolis
needs such hotel.
New Workers are not so much interested in
Mr.. Astor's enterprise as are the inhabitants
of the rest of the country. There are a great
many hotels in New York, good. bad and
Indifferent. The latter are in the majority.
Some of the worst are the showiest, most ex-
pensive and largest. In these days when so
many residents of other cities, and particu-
larly so many Pittsburgers, visit New York
periodically, the question of Gotham's ho-
tel accommodations becomes a national
one. Ifthe new Astor House shall combine
in. itself the comforts and conveniences OF the
best European and American hotels, as it is
said it shall, Pittsburgers will be among
the grateful crowd which will throng it,
Perhaps when that happy day arrives a
visit to New York will not be equivalent to
going into bankruptcy, and the New York
hotel clerk will cease to be synonym for
all that is gorgeous and uncivil.

GETTING THERE WITH EASE.

While there was such excitement on the
Northside yesterday it was curious fact, in
contradistinction, that the Republican con-
ventions for the remainder of the county
were held in an atmosphere sigularly char
acterized by harmony, sweetness and light"
and such concomitants. Dalzell was re-
nominated for Congress from the Twenty
second district by acelamation. William
Finn did not have an opponent for the
State Senate. Lastly, though by no means
least, Won Bonnhorst for Recorder; Nc.
Cleary for Sheriff. Connor for Register;
McGunnegle for Clerk of Courts; Bell for
Treasurer; Havmaker for Assistant Dis
trict Attorney; Greer for Controller, and
Mercer and Weir for Commissioners, got
through without opposition in single case.
The tour first named are representatives of
the "Old Guard" in Republican county
politics. They have been conspicuous in
the local party organization for twenty
wears, SO their ''wa2k-over'' is not sur
prising. Neither is that of Mercer, who was
invincible for denomination as Commits
sioner. But when it is seen that there was
no contest for anv of the other Offices either,
it looks as though public Offices are not as
much sought after as formerly.
The entire local ticket, however, is a
strong one, with sure prospect in a county
whose Republican msjorities run as high on
occasions as 10000.

act or obeying the board. They do not hesitate
to disregard the plainesr provisions of the law
and the most urgent injunctions of the commits
sioners; and, what is worse, they do not think
enough of either to resort to the slightest de-
vice of concealment
This may be a rather strong way of put
ting it, as is characteristic of the New York
luminary. But there is more truth than
imagination in the statement that the rail-
roads have discovered that the penalties
which the body charged with their enforce
ment are afraid 10 administer. have no
terrors for them. In four years not single
one of the penalties prescribed by the law
has been exacted. although numerous viola
tions have been proved. Is it any wonder
that the railroads do not obey ity
But the Sun makes decided non sequitar
in its deduction from this statement
1t asserts that the Canadian railroads ought
to be shut out from doing business with, the
United States The sole argument in favor
of doing this heretofore has been that the
United States trunk lines are subject to the
restraints of the Interstate commerce law,
while the Canadian roads have an advan-
tage over them in that respect. But the
statement just quoted show that act is no
restraint to the United States railroads, and
the alleged advantage is, therefore, wholly
fictitious. The fact is that both the Cana
dian and United States railroads are equal
ly subject to the law, on the business
which they do to and from points in this
country, and are equally free from it when
it is not enforced.
What is needed is a public sentiment
which will require the penalties Of this act
to be applied, whenever there is violation
Of its provisions. If that is done, it will be
found that the United States and Canadian
trunk lines stand on an equal footing.
