These attacks charge the President with most serious offenses. His opponent accuses him of deliberately entering into a conspiracy with the trusts, by which money is secured to buy the Presidency, in return for which his co-con- spirators are to have immunity in the commission of illegal acts. In 1900, Mr. Bryan made the same charge against President McKiniey, and Senator Hanna, chairman of the Republican Na- tional Committee, in a speech in Lincoln, Mr. Bryan’s home, openly denounced him as a liar. It is not going too far to say that Judge Parker is open to the same characterization. He has had respectful treatment from the Republican party, and his virulent course has had as little provocation as his charges have proofs. The anti-trust law, framed by Senator Sherman and passed by a Republican Congress, was the law during all of President Cleveland’s second term. The trusts were then in existence. They flourished under the Wilson tariff. Mr. Cleveland’s Attorney Gen- eral, who is making speeches for Judge Parker, officially proclaimed that he had no authority to enforce the Sherman law and could not prosecute the trusts. President Roosevelt found the law just as it was when Olney refused to enforce it. Under his direction seven great suits were instituted against the trusts by Mr. Olney's successor, and were all won by the Government. Where the Demo- cratic administration declared that there was no authority, Presi- dent Roosevelt found authority. The Democrats talked and he acted. When he acted, the trusts and their organs manufactured the Democratic campaign issue against him by raising the cry that Up to that time that charge he was “an unsafe” man for President. was unheard. The Democracy took it from the trusts and have used it as a club ever since. When the merger case against J. ]J. Hill's railroad trust was decided in the President’s favor by the Supreme Court, all of the Democratic justices ‘dissented, and wrote that charge into their opinions the President and Attorney General had no authority to the thus affirming the position of Mr. Olney and Democratic administration. These are the record facts. ev have become part of the history of the country. The Pre dent’s position is written into the great anti-trust decisions, which 2 of his administration.

Out of this roily sentence issues, as a proper thing to come | out of mud slime, the charge that the President used official knowl- edge of “secrets” to force the trusts into a conspiracy with himself! It is a charge fit to come from a man whose campaign has been characterized from the beginning by ascribing infamy and crime to the President of the United States. ‘Democrats who love their country and would keep its history clean are appalled by Judge Parker’s plunge into shame THE SUNDAY CALL MAGAZINE. ¢ HE Sccond Mrs. Jim,” by Stephen Conrad, a story of plain, old-fashioned folks, told by the second Mrs. Jim herself, is one of the most enjoyable fiction offerings that The Sunday Call has given. The book, which is written in the first person, filled with quaint, homely turns of humor and pithy axioms, will be published complete to-morrow spects a remarkable woman. The second Mrs. Jim is in all re- Well past the first blush of girlhood, she marries “Mr. Jim” and assumes the task of instilling herself into the affections of his children. How well she succeeds and how nearly she approximates the ideal as a stepmother and as a mother- in-law can best be understood from the modest story of her life, which she tells over the kitchen table. Her wholesome, sweet- tempered disposition, her out-and-out fun, and her shrewd, kindlv and tactiul method of winning all points that are legitimately hers, give her at once front rank as a character new to fiction. “The Adventures of Reuben,” by Edward W. Townsend, which have proven entertaining reading for some months past, are con- | cluded with two unexpected marriages. “On and Off the Bread Wagon,” by Charles Dryden, being the chronicles of an amateur “hobo” from the pen of a former San Francisco newspaper man, are continued through the formative and imaginative period of boy- hood up to the time when the native hamlet is 1éft behind and the aspiring youth sets forth to conquer the world. - The early South-| ern idea of a gentleman and his honor is aptly burlesqued in a humorous dissertation by M. Quad in “Colonel Bunker—He Tells | of a2 Poem and a Duel.” Other features are “Whipping a Big Team Into Shape,” in which i= described the trials and anxieties of coach and trainer in getting the varsity team into shape for the annual game; a paper on the distinctive characteristics of various national dances; two pages for women: “The Trousseau of the Bride of the Crown Prince,” by Augusta Prescott, describing the trousseau of Cecilia, bride-elect of the Crown Prince of Germany ; and Madge Moore's «ibilities of a Hat,” and the usual puzzle oage.

ARRANG EMENT OF THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL WITH THE Yesterday was another date under- scored in the annals of this city's fes- tivities. The great event of Edward M. Greenway's dinner dance was com- temporaneous with several small affairs. Some of these were in the nature of fererunners of the scene at the Pal- ace—gatherings informal, finally drift- ing down to the whirl of splendor. Among others who attended the Greenway dance were Mr. and Mrs. James Coffin, with guests, whom they entertained" at dinner. 4 ity Amid the other travelers the brides and grooms are flocking homeward to settle about their new firesides by the yuletide, The recent arrivals are Mr. and Mrs, J.

We like them as well as ever for trimmings, and as for sashes, it is only because of the more somber attire suit- able to the season that prevents the handsome sash ribbons from being as much in evidence as ever. They figure in all sorts of girdles. ‘We come not to talk of these old fa- vorites, however. Now quite the latest | thing is to have a waist entirely of rib- bon. You say that is not new. But it is. Instead of the more or less narrow ribbons used for waists of yore these new waists are composed of the dainty- hued ribbons with a stripe along the edge, and nearly as wide as ordinary silk. The lengths of ribbon may. be sewed together by means of a fancy stitch, or the joinings may be invisible. These waists are the latest bits of chic, and a glance at the exquisite colors and designs of these new wide ribbons will show one at a glance just how lovely they are, and give even the least im- pressionable mind an idea of their de- lightful possibilities.—Philadelphia Rec- 'HAT TIPS. Furs and feathers are combined. Crush crowns are considered good. Shirred velvet bows are advisable. Strings are recommended for restora- tion hats. 5 Zibeline borders a chapeau de style in white felt. An occasion boat shape has a very high crown. Hollow cut jet balls are admirable on reseda velvet. ) SILK PETTICOATS. Black, brown and champagne col- ored silk petticoats are very fashion- able. With the tallored suits the brown and champagne petticoats are quite a feature and these are fash- joned with two wide pinked out frills in many cases supplemented with a trimming of colored ribbon.

ANSWERS TO QUERIES. ESCHSCHOLTZIA—N. D., City. The flower of the/papaveracae, botanically known as Eschscholtzia Californica, commonly called the California golden poppy, was so named for Johann Fred. erick Eschschol, a famous German bot- anist, and the name is pronounced es- scholl, not es-coll. The sound of the name of the flower is given as esh- scholts-i-a, with the o sounded long in the New International Encyclopedia, in the Manifold Encyclopedia, in La Rouse Grand Dictionaire and in the New Cen- tury Dictionary. All these books give the same sound. Es-col-sha is a local- | ism. TELEPHONE—A. 8., City. Tele- phone companies are not permitted to maintain a ten party line, for an ordi- nance of the Board of Supervisors says that “No person, firm or corporation engaged in the business of supplying telephonic service to the city and coun- ty of San Francisco, or to the inhabi- tants thereof, shall connect, maintain more than five telephone instruments upon any one party line. “The penalty for violation of this ordinance is that provided in the maximum for misde- meanor. If you have any complaint against any one furnishing telephone service you should make your com- plaint at the office and if there is no redress you can apply to the courts. FOREIGN BORN—H. L. R., Sacra- mento, Cal. This correspondent asks “If a boy be born to American parents while such were traveling in a foreign country, is such a boy legally a citizen of the United States, and when of age would he be entitled to hold any office in this country? Would such a boy on attaining his majority be entitled to vote without taking out naturalization papers?” The naturalization laws of the United States say that the children of persons who now are, or who have been, citi- zens of the United States are, though born out of the limits and jurisdiction of the United States, considered as citizens thereof. In view of this, chil- dren born to American citizefis travel- ing through a foreign country or born in a foreign country while the father was in that country representing the United States Government in an of- ficial capacity are full fledged citizens of the United States, and such of these
