A new fashion in wedding presents appears to be about to supersede the haekneyed one of jewelry. It takes the form of prayer books for brides and bridesmaids. covered in specially designed artistic bindings, with the in- itials of each recipient, and the date of the event in gold on the side. A leaf of vellum, with gold border, is also in- serted in each book for the signatures of those present at the ceremony. The Idea is excellent as prayerbook is serviceable article for daily use, and Is also a memento of filling the office of bridesmaid. Apropos of honeymoons 1t is curious to see the many different ways in which people consider it hap piest to spend that period.

ARE WOMEN sTlNGY7

There is a fine old ma aSculine preju- dice that women, as a class, are stiEgy. The whole question hangs closely on to the power of earning money, and the woman wEo makes her own life and her own living, is rarely guilty of the vice of parsimony. The horrors of rigid domestic economy are usually practiced by wives to whom a weekly dole for housekeeping is handed out; women who, not possessing a penny ol their own and having no pin money settled upon them at marriage, are tempted to pinch and scrape in order to put something by for themselves.
 The woman who earns, on the other hand, especially one who earns on large scale, is more often than net open-handed to fault The case Of a noyelist-the late Mrs. Oliphant-is one in point. This courageous pen woman lived always on the fat of the land, travelled en prineesse, sent her sons to Eton and to Oxford and prac- tieed all the amenities of life Although good Scotswoman, we are told by a writer in Blackwood that she hated small economies. To travel expensive was her way. She never would trav- el second-class. She had none of what she calls the faculty of economies in her. She stayed at the very best and most expensive hotels; she dressed in the richest of silks and satins."

Some like solitude amid fine scenery; others prefer to be alone in a crowd, or else desire complete change from their accustomed surroundings. like sailor who stipulated that his bride should take him well out of sight of the sea. But the most ideally perfect honeymoon, according to a sentimen- talist, is when two lovers have been parted, and after long grief and pain" they meet once more, not to be disii- lusioned. as sometimes happens. but to find the love of former days more than renew Their wef ing follows swiftly on the happy meeting, and they go off with the glamor of it still in their hearts, to some place of sunny weather and perfect beauty. Such an experience of happiness as that is rare, but for those who are fortunate enough to win it the remembrance must re- main lifelong jay.

TIE TICKET RATIFIED.

HE meeting in Metropolitan Temple on Satur-
day evening to ratiiy the Republicsn
nicipal ticket q conspicuous success
and incident OF great significance The
sound and temperate address OF Hon. Horace
Davis a keynote from its opening salute
to Its last word Il supplied, from source
OF unquestIoned integrity, group OF facts that had
been obscured by the inemperate utteTances OF Mr..
Phelan and his supporters The new charter, from
its inception TO its ratification by the Legislature,
continually depended upon Republican favor, in
huenoe and votes ior It's installation the organic
law OF the city. Il would have been beaten at the
polls except for the given TO il in Republican
stronghoids. 1t adopted by q Republican Legs-
lature, wherein the right OF home rule was recog-
nized- The primary law, which Mr.. Phean says
was necessary adjunct OF the charter was intro
duced by Z Republican Senator and passed by Re
publican Legislature. The Republican party having
done its full share in securing reform in the iunda
mental law OF San Francisco, having become re-

Tor it in Republican Legislatures is now denounced
by Mr Phelan as not TO be trusted 10 organize the
government which IS to issue from ii!
Saturday nights meeting distinctly repudiated this
assumption and was the party's declaration that the
law it made il intends to administer. Having the
votes, and being represented by ticket which COM
mands the confidence OF every independent voter in
the city and that has the enthusiastic support OF
every Republican who feels the impulse OF his civic
responsibility, the Republican party appeals with con-
hdence TO the conscience OF every wel-wisher OF the
city.
The speech of Hon. Horace Davis was the utter
ance OF a man who appreciates the solemn RESPONSE
bility OF public authority and who approaches its
assumption with no ambition other than its faithful
administration. No lorging for the dress parade
common 10 men who make spectacular use OF one
position that may be steppingstone TO another is
found in his address. Il is the speech OF business
man who knows keenly the relation between good
government and the prosperity OF the people.
As business man he believes that municipal

business principles. lis officers are chosen by ma
jority OF its voters their directors and agents 70

THE ROBBINS OF THE MINERS

F. every point OF view it IS gratifying that
efforts have been put forth 10 make the annual
mining convention in San Francisco this wear
something more than State assembly The
problems OF Western miners are many. and as most
OF them are as important TO one Western or Pacific
Coast State Territory TO another is desirable
they be discussed by representative men from
all sections OF the Greater West so that there may be
unity Of action in carrying out any line OF policy that
may be deemed advisable
Among the larger issues to be dealt with bv the
convention the revision and codiication OF Fed
era mining laws the conservation OF water the pro-
curement OF appropriations from the Federal Govern
ment for the construction OF restraining dams and
the promotion OF the movement begun some time
ago TO bring about the creation by the National Gov
ernment OF department OF mines and mining. to be
under the direction and control OF an official OF Cab
met rank
Such issues affect the whole OF the Greater West.
and il IS desirable they be considered as broad ma
tional problems rather than as local questions The
efforts made to procure general representation OF
other mining States and Territories have met with
good success. II has been announced that the Gov
