Eaiiur Times: Did MIS-. Charlotte Smith
consider the atsurdity OF Judging wheel
women by the Inmates OF the twenty-seven
disreputable houses OF this city before ex-
pressing her views of July 3? Apparently
not.
II would seem, according to her state
ment that the ladies OF this city re-
CURED tight rein aud a firm hand to pre-
vent them from falling or, 1 should say,
rding-to the very depths Of immortality
and vice.
Truly our young people are IN danger
Gus way If such he the case.
Mrs Smith also said in her crusade
against wheels for women and girls that
1t produced immoral suggestions aud i'm
prudent associations 10th in language and
dress Would 1t lie asking too much to
inquire as to the nature OF the immoral sug-
gcstions? Perhaps our friend thinks the
sight of a wtman's ankle, however mod
es,iy covered suggestive. Does she apply
the same term to her mot and grand-
mother. who in their day wore similar COS
tunes for walking suits? Aud without the
lcggings!
Let one of the Indecent and vulgar
offenders reg that Mrs. Smith extend her
Investigations beyond the slums of the city
and the houses Of vice and tif 1t lie Ecssible)
broader her mind to an extent that will
admit with the minister, the doctor, and
the host nr experienced W wheelwomen, both
of this city and Of the world, that bicycle
riding is the greatest blessing woman ever
had in the way of promoting health,
strength. womaniiness, independence, pleas
ure and social reformation.

TROLLING FOR PIKE.
A New and Exciting Sport for Local
Anglers.

L. S. Upson and r. w. Helms yester-
day demonstrated the fact that Sacra-
mentans who are fond of the rod and
reel need not necessarily go to the
mountains for sport, unless nothing but
trout will serve to allay their longing
The river here is we'll supplied with
what are known as pike" varying in
size from a few inches in length up to
the size of a salmon. These fish have
never been much sought after by bait
fishers, but it has now been demon
strated that they will take the spoon as
fiercely as lake trout.
Messrs. Upson and Helms resolved
yesterday on trying the experiment of
trolling for these pike, and went out on
the river near the Pioneer Mill. They
report having had really excellent sport,
taking about fifty young pike. Some
times the fish would leap clear of the
water in their eagerness to get the spoon
and the larger ones fought with con-
siderable vigor.
Henceforth the ignoble catfish will not
be in it with the pike when it comes to
fishing In this vicinity. 1t Is not un-
likely that the spiuning-hy may be
found excellent for casting. The spoons
used for trolling are the ordinary trout
spoons-of which there are a great va
riety-and there will now doubtless be
a run on fiShing-tackle.

A PIONEER GONE.
Death of Robert S. Egbert, an Early
Day Sacramentan.

The pioneers Of this city will be panied
on learning that another of their old
associates has been called away.
Robert S. Egbert, a member of the
Sacramento Pioneer Association. died
ct his home in Rio Vista on Monday.
Bob Egbert was a familiar figure Of
the earlier days, and was the last sur
vivor of the contractors who built the
Central Pacific Railroad
He came to the coast in 1S49 and was
of the firm of merchants, contractors
and builders which carried on most of
the mercantile business of the State for
many years. Sisson, CrOcker and Wal
lace were Egbert's partners, Dut these
have all preceded him to the great be-
yond. The deceased has left behind him
a considerable fortune, which viii be
shared by his widow and by the daugh-
ter and three sons, who survive him.
The funeral services will be held at
. o'clock to-day, st the residence of
his son, Charles Esbert, 1923 Webster
street Oakland.
The death of Mr.. Egbert was sudden,
and the presumption is that it was due
to physical collapse. consequent upon
old age, the gentleman being upward of
rs years of age. He was a pioneer, well
known throughout California.
In note to the Record Union" last
night. James H. Gates of San Francisco
writes that "all old-timers will call to
mind the genial face of Bob Egbert, one
of the old guard of 10"
