GENERAL BARRETT REPORTS
On the Needs Of the National
Guards
The Soldier Boys Need About Every.
thing From State Armories to Pro-
vision for Funeral Expenses

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 26.-The BIZ
enial report of Adjutant- General Bar
rett, submitted to the governor, makes a
number of recommendations regarding
the national guard. He suggests that
the law governing the naval reserve
should be similar to that governing the
United States navy. He recommends the
purchase of 1000 new uniforms, twenty
four hundred pairs of blankets and 315O
overcoats for the national guard. For a
ten-days brigade encampment in 1897
and 1898 he asks for an appropriation Of
$S0,000 He recommends that the state
build and own armories at San Francis
CO. Oakland, Los Angeles and Sacra-
mento, as well as other towns where two
or more companies are located. Gen.
passed placing on the retired list all
officers who have served five years or
more in the national guard and lost COM
mands because of the reorganization Of
1895. He belives an annual parade for
target practice will suffice, but says COM
panies should have monthly shoots. The
acknowledgement recommends an appro-
priation of $4,000 as special fund for the
funeral expenses Of state and national
guard officers. He also asks for a legis-
lative appropriation of $500 to copy the
records of the California volunteers
during the war from 1861 to 1866 on the
card system, as has been adopted in
several states. The object is to pre-
serve the records of the California vol
unteers.

THE GLENDALE ROAD
The $500 Bonus for Electricizing the
Branch to Be Raised


Another largely attended railroad
meeting was held at Glendale last night
for the further consideration of the Ter
minal's proposition to electricize the
Glendale branch of their road. Man.
ager s. B. Hines of the Terminal was
present and stated the position of his
company.
The committee appointed at the last
meeting to interview the residents of the
valley and learn the general feeling to-
ward the proposed Improvements, re-
ported. They had doNs their work faith
FULLY and almost every resident of the
valley had been seem They stated that
there was a very strong sentiment in
favor of having the road electricized,
and the people in general were ready to
assist IN raising the $500 bonus required
Mr.. Hines stated that the same rate
OF rare as that now in effect would prob
ably rule. A great many thought this
ought to be reduced if the road is cleo
tr1cized. 1t has not yet been decided
whether the Terminal company will run
cars into the business portion of the
city or transfer on to the other lines at
Pasadena avenue.
An executive committee composed of
Messrs. S. G. Doyle, Oscar Lawler, War;
rem Byran and Scherer was appointed
to canvass the valley and attempt to
raise the required bonus. They are to
nave entire charge of this matter and
it is not vet decided whether this will
be raised by an assessment or popular
subscription. There is little doubt that
inside of few months at most the i'm
provement will be made. The meeting
adjourned subject to the call of the exec
utive committee.

POOR OLD WESTON WEPT
AT His Failure to Equal His Early
Record
Yet at Fifty-Eight He Fell Short Of
Young Manhoods Performance
by Only Eight Miles.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-When Edward
Payson Weston, the 5S-year-old pedes-
trian, at 10 o'clock tonight left the track
on which he endeavored to equal his
record of 112 miles in twenty-four hours,
he had walked 103 miles, 4261a yards.
The old man went to the office of the
skating rink, in which the track was
situated, threw himself on cot and
wept bitterly. A number of friends
gathered around and sought to console
him, but Weston refused to be COM
forted, and reproached himself for his
failure.
The veteran started out bravely in his
effort to prove that he was as sturdy as
he was twenty-five years ago, and more
than half the day maintained, gait that
promised to break his, record. Then he
was seized with vertigo, and was obliged
to leave the track for longer periods than
he had planned. He was also obliged,
after walking a few laps, to reverse the
direction, in order to overcome dizzi-
ness. About half past nine tonight
Weston reached the one hundred-mile
mark, and the spectators cheered him,
but the cheers did not gladden. the heart
of the gray-haired pedestrian, who re-
allied that he must fail He left the
track and sat for a few moments in one
of the boxes. where he burst into tears.
Again he took the track and sought to
wipe out the miles that stood between
him and victory, and added three miles
and 4261A yards to his score before the
clock struck ten. During Weston's last
half hour on the track he was spurred
on by the skaters, who kept pace WITH
him and congratulated him on his good
showing. The band, too, played lively
airs. and the old man spurted in re-
sponse.
Weston undertook the task of equal.
ing his record of 112 miles in twenty-four
hours, made when he was thirty-thrae
years old, to illustrate how a regular
and temperate life conserves mans
vigor and makes him strong in his later
years.
