James D. Phelan has been a unique
figure in municipal politics. He is the
son Of a man who amassed a great for
tune In business and real estate ven
lures In San Francisco, received col
lege education and was trained for
business. But the great problem Of gov
erning cities appealed to him and he
made study of it, turning aside from
business to enter this sphere. He lee
tured upon the subject not only In San
Francisco, but elsewhere. Finally he
was nominated for Mayor in 1895 and
he received big majority. He was re-
elected In 1897 and In 1893 was chosen
a third time. He was diligent in the
performance of his duties, despite the
fact that his Independent income per
month was ten times as much as the
Mayors annual salary. He could have
had steam yacht or a newspaper, or
live In London, or enjoy any of the
many other forms Of millionaire sport,
but he preferred to labor for municipal
reform. He is not picturesque In APP
pearance, being an apotheosis Of neat
ness and good taste. His creased trous-
ers and delicately tinted gloves do not
suggest broad democracy, but that is

There are many persons who declare
they have seen visions in the mirror
prophecies which have come true. The
late Judge Caswell Of California, while
visiting in the home of DR.. Taylor
looked In the mirror and saw the face
Of near relative then living In Pitts

way in which the hair was combed

Of this relative and the hair was
combed back in exactly that manner.
