THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1904. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL FAIR MAID CHOSEN BY CHICAGO AS REPRESENTATIVE| JOHN D. ADDRESS ALL CO JOHN McNAUGHT.. os AMUNICATIONS TO PUBLICATION OFFICE | | | WEDNESDAY THE FOREGONE CONCLUSION. news published this morning of the results of the Presi-| T«ic'u election will cause no surprise in any part of the country. Even before the time for holding the national conventions it was | recognized that the nomination of Roosevelt by the Republicans was | evitable, and that the triumph of his electoral ticket in the popular | test was about as certain as any future event could be. | Nothing that occurred during the campaign was sufficient to | hange in any way the first convictions of the people. The Demo- “ratic faction that was defeated at St. Louis may endeavor to even up now by asserting that if it had been successful it would have framed a platform, named a ticket and conducted a campaign that i have carried Democracy to victory. Such assertions, how- ever, will be the offspring of factional spite rather than of reason. No | n nominated hy the Democratic party could have won in this cam- paign. It is doubtful indeed whether any other candidate could have | made 2s good an impression upon the country as Judge Parker or would have received as large a vote. The plain truth is that the great mass of the people are well satisfied with the results of Republican legislative policies, and are | pro f the type of Americanism represented so forcibly and so brilliantly by Theodore Roosevelt. With even a weaker candidate on the Rep ot have voted for the party that stands for protection and while it is equally certain that had the business in- 1 lican ticket the conservative elements of the pcop]c} | | money | terests the country been undergoing a period of adversity instead f one of prosperity a majority of the people would still have voted for Roosevelt upon the score of his superiority to his competitor in every element desirable in the personality of a President of the) United States. As the issue presented. itself there was nothing in the campaign c for doubt in any quarter. The right candidate stood right orm and was supported by the right party. The opposition presented an emergency candidate on a meaningless plat- | upported by a discordant combination of recalcitrant factions. | ne people to decide between the two the result could not i it was not. The foregone conclusion is announced hes this morning. The American people “stand pat.” use f RECORD OF RAIL DISASTERS. HEN the Interstate Commerce Commission begins to collect a on railroad fatalities for the year 19o4 the grisly >s snuffed out and permanent injuries dealt broad- cast to travelers will be nothing less than appalling. The commis- sion’s report for last year included the tale of something over 100,000 casualties on American steam roads, but now when editors of big daily papers have to reckon almost nightly on so much “space” de- voted to disasters on the rail, evidences point to a roll of death for the vear that will exceed that of the last. Over 100 lives lost lo., seventy killed in a smashup in Tennessee, scores pre T crushed on 2 picnic train in New Jersey—these will be some of the largest items in the forthcoming statistics. S of the papers of Great Britain have been calling editorial they style “the brutal indifference” of the American c to the continuous record of accidents on the rails. They point t for our hundreds killed in the past year by railroad ords of their railroads have but six deaths in the at i o W period tallied up against them. To offset the fact of our vastly greater extent of mileage the English critics point to the intense congestion of traffic in their land, where one is rarely f hearing of a railroad whistle. The imputation is broad- ly drawn, consequently, that the traveling public on this side of the water shares with the management of the roads in a supreme indif- ference to precautionary measures against the possibility of disaster. Certai is that with the rapid strides taken by invention in recent >reby mechanical contrivances in the rolling stock have had the tendency to reduce the causes s attributable to human failings, the death rate lowered instead of increased at the present terrible rate. lays of railroading, when every sacrifice was made in avor to reach out and cover new fields of enterprise and e human agency was relied upon almost altogether to insure f passengers, accidents, some of them serious ones, were occurrence.

Scott represent the city of Chicago on the Oklahoma City day at the St. Louis Exposition, says the New York World. Mayor Harrison, with rare judgment, Miss Scott’s friends say, and with poor judgment, her rivals contend, selected her as the official Chicago Girl for the beauties representing sixteen cities at After the Beau Brummels of the Al- months in trying to select a typical beauty, Professor Shailer Mathews of the divinity school of the Chicago Uni- versity suggested Miss Grace Scott, his private secretary. She is the clerk to the divinity school, and even her enemies admit she is pretty; but some that her beauty is not “She’s a pretty girl, and I don’t care whether her beauty is classical or not,” Mayor Harrison said. “She's a t¥pical Chicago girl and will reflect credit on Miss Scott in no girthy, helmeted “I will!” girl which scuiptors made to represent Chicago. Miss Scott was born in Kansas, and has a complexion as fresh and clear as the breezes of the Woastern prairies. Professor Mathews has never before posed as a connoisseur of beauty. In the past he has devoted himself entire- ly to teaching biblical history and this has led some of Miss Scott's rivals to assert that maybe somewhere in con- cient history there is a style of beauty that justifies her selection. “Them fellies down at that Standard 0il University will make this town rediculo ' declared “Bathhouse John” when he heard who had assisted the Mayor in selection. “Why, they never see a real live beauty.” The Board of Aldermen and a spe- cial committee consisting of Ruther- | ford McCormick, son of the Embassa- dor to Rus!

Miss Scott is a dainty young wom- an. She is rather slender, being 5 feet 6 inches in height and welghing only 118 pounds. She is neither a blonde nor a brunette,. her hair being light brown. Her nose is short and retrousse, “tip tiltel Mke the petal of a rose.” She has a bright smile, a merry laugh and a mauslcal voice.

Miss Helen Pettigrew and William Lemman will be married this evening at the Callahan home on Pacific ave- nue. The guests will be chosen from rela tives and intimate friends, about 150 in all. Rev.

Percy Pettigrew is best man, with Farl Cummings and Robert Dudley as ushers. I S Mrs. Eugene Freeman will entertain at tea to-day in honor of her daugh- ter, Miss' Maud Payne, who is a debu- tante.

Miss Ella Deming, daughter of the late Theodore Deming and niece of the late Mrs. Charles Crocker, will leave | for New York in a few days. Miss Deming goés to the home of her cousin, George F. Crocker, where she will remain for an indefinite period. It was in this same home a few | days ago that the marriage of Miss | | Alice Rutherford to J. Langdon Irving | took place. Miss Deming is one of five unusually handsome girls. Her sister, Miss Mary | Deming, was married a few years ago to Mr. Schwan of New York. The statutesque type essentially be- longs to the Deming family, but it is most pronounced in Miss Ella, who is sincerely and widely admired for her beauty. . Her departure for New York will leave a rift in her circle of friends both in San Francisco and Sacramento. Mrs. Thomas Patterson Woodward and Miss Woodward inaugurated their first day at home for this season yes- terday afternoon, when the home on Pine street was the scene of much brightness and pleasure.

Pour the hot milk on four eggs well beaten with one-half cup of sugar. Stir well, then pour into earthen cups. Grate a little nutmeg over each cup and set in a pan of hot water in a slow oven and bake until the center of each custard is firm. In old times the custards were put in the brick ovens after the heat was re- duced, and as the last thing to be baked. The consistency of the cus- tard must be velvety. HOT BISCUIT.—Sift four cups of flour with one level teaspoon of salt, two weunding teaspoons of cream tar- tur, and one level teaspoon of soda. Rub In two rounding tablespoons of butter, which will be about one-quarter cup, and mix with one and three- quarters cups of milk. Pat out on the board unlil thin enough to ecut in rounds with a cutter dipped in flour. Bake in a quick oven. STEWED POTATOES.—Peel about half a dozen good sized petatoes.
