COSGROVE'S PICTURE.
As the State Did Not Purchase, He
Removed It From the Capitol.

Cosgrove, the artist. yesterday re-
moved the picture of Ex-Governor
Markham, painted by him and which
he had hoped the State would purchase,
from the room Of Controller Colgan,
where it has hung for several years.
The picture is a striking likeness Of
the Ex-Governor and Mr.. Colgan was
sorry to see it go. Another picture of
Ex-Governor Markham has been paint
ed for the State, the price received be-
ing $500, and it is hanging at present
in Governor Budd's Office, but it is
not nearly so good a likeness as the
one painted by Cosgrove, and, in fact,
there is no comparison between the
two.

OF INTEREST TO CYCLISTS.
OF LEVERAGE-THE MEET ON

Oldest Wheelman-Bicycl Corps

Leverage in pedaling is obtained IN
two ways, from the riders weight
offsetting the muscular effort put into
the downward thrust of the pedals, and
by pulling on the handle bars. Theories
emitted about leverage gained by push
ing backward against the saddle must
be regarded as of small consequence.
Even riders who sit in the ultra scorch-
ing position make small use Of the sad
die as a hacker.
Western Sports (San FranciSco)
has this to say of the meet in Sacra-
mento on the Fourth Of July. 1t
sounds like old times to hear Of the
preparations that have already been
commenced at Sacramento for the big
cycling celebration the Capital City
Wheelmen are to hold there from the
ID to the 4th of July. The local wheel
men are simply starving for bicycle
meet, and from present indications sew
eral car loads of local enthusiasts will
be found in the confines of the Capital
City on that occasion. Those Capital
Citys have such a reputation for be-
ing hospitable entertainers that few
wheelmen with the time and where
withal to spare will be missing from
the round up on the Fourth. The fes-
tivities will commence on the night Of
July I'd, when a high jinks and recep-
tion Will be given in honor of the Board
of Governors Of the California Associa-
ciated Cycling Clubs, who will convene
there at that time for their next meet

model designed expressly for army use.
1t is made exceptionally strong and
without any nickel parts, even the
spokes being enameled. 1t is fitted with
a gear case especially made for 1t, hav-
ing rubber joints that make them i'm
perviols to rain and dust Special pro-
visions have been made on the wheels
for the attachment of arms and other
soldierly equipment.
Observation is corroborated by the
reports of dealers that the style Of tire
that is roughened or pebbled all over
is also losing ground. This kind pre-
vents slipping, but throw dirt in a dis
agreeable manner, and on account OF
the extra suction Of the rough tread
is not so fast as tires having a smooth
tread. The modification of serrated
tread tires that combine a perfectly
smooth strip in the center where the
contact occurs, with slight longitudinal
ribs running on each side to prevent
slipping. Is happy one and likely to
prove superior to both the entirely
smooth and the entirely rough tires.
1t is prophesied by some that a halt
is soon to be called in the tendency to
increase the weight of tires.
Bicycle greasing is a new industry
which has been developed outside of
Paris to some extent within the last
few months, and it will enter upon
greater extension now that the fine
weather has set in. The "graisseurs
pour bicyclettes, as they are called,
are, more correctly speaking oilers, and
usually post themselves at the bottoms
of hills. When a bicyclist approaches
they offer to oil his machine before he
makes an ascent up one of the slopes
at Suresnes or St. Cloud, for instance.
They are also dotted along the level
roads ready for CUSTOM and contrive,
thanks to the progress of the sport, to
earn fair amount of money in a day.
"Of all known forms of Sunday recre-
alton the bicycle is the least harmful"
says clergyman. THE value of its
contribution to health and happiness is
unimpaired by any admixture of dis
sipation or any tendency to the forma-
tion of bad habits. On the contrary, it's
influence is wholly in the direction of
leading the young away from resorts
and associations that are apt to be
hurtful by furnishing them with rec
reation as innocent as 1t is attractive"

to the Hall of Justice Cor tractors.

The chief feature of the meeting of the Board of Supervisors yesterday afternoon was a knockout blow straight from the shoulder to Mayor Phelan from the en- tire body-the solid contingent and the minority joining hands to show him that the old committee of one hundreds deeds live after it.
 The retiring Mayor always places in nomination a gas inspector for the ensu- ing two years. Yesterday afternoon, shortly after calling the meeting to or der, Mayor Phelan named John F. Dunn as the man he would prefer to see en- toying this soft snap. There was a brief pause. The members ol the board leaned back in their chairs in a reflective mood and memory carried them back to the days when John P Dunn presided over one hundred job chasers." Supervisor Smith broke the silence. T move that the matter be laid over for one week, ; asked @ Clinton o o beat ea John f ba19 P G9eT Denn if possible" was the retort. When the roll was called it showed that the ma jority of the board was in favor of lay Mayor sighed deeply.
 The next pretty little thing that popped its head into the nest of jobbery was a requesting further extension of time on the Hall of Justice. The last time such request was made they were given until January l, 1899, to finish the build ing, although every one was confident that 1t could not possibly be made ready for occupancy by that time. There was the usual talk, the usual cry of "altera- tions in the plans,'' and the lucky con tractors were given until July 19 This is good news for the spiders that have made their nests undisturbed in the cor riders of the building, but the property owners may look at it in another light.
 Another problem came LID among batch of bills. It consisted of bills from Henley x Costello and McGoWan &- SquireS for S475 each for legal services Inquiry elicited the information that these services consisted of defending Supervise ors Lackmann and Rottanzi Tn the shit which followed busting the board from office about a year ago. Some of the members of the board objected to the payment of these bllls on the ground that they were personal bills, but they will be paid just the same.
 Supervisor Clinton sprung a new scheme the object of which is to provide for a Mission zoo at a very small cost to the city. He stated that the Branch County Jail is nothing more or less than com fortable summer resort for horde of criminals; that, when the Hall of Jus tice is completed, the portion of ie City Hall now used for police headquarters and the City Prison will be vacated. His plan Is to move the inmates of the branch jail into the City Hall and use the House of Refuge property as Mission zoo. The resolution was passed to print and wiIl be taken up next week.

CLAUS SPRECKELS'
 ACTION IS TIMELY
Farmers Will Accept Help on Condition of Being Al-
 lowed to Return Money.

SALINAS, Dec. 19.-News published in the San Francisco dailies of the fact that Restitution existed in the southern portion of Monterey and adjoining county has created intense excitement among all classes Many who were fully cognizant of the true facts con- tinue to belittle the information and claim that the publication of details would only serve to give the county black eye and stop all progress. While they acknowledge that many deserving people are in need they also say many who are always grumbling even in the best years, will receive aid which should not be given. That feed for stock, food for families and also cloth ing are wanted, is not denied.
 Further excitement was found to ex- ist, however, when rumors began to spread that Claus Spreckels, believing the truth of reports sent by eorre- spondents and private letters, had of fered Governor Budd the sum of $50, GOO to be used as State aid for the destitute and suffering of Monterey County. When the report came direct, however, that Claus Spreckels had offered $50, 900 to Governor Budd for relief of the suf- fering people of Monterey County, of which sum $25,000 had been accepted, there was great satisfaction. Tt is one of the grandest and noblest gifts ever given for suffering humanity by any one," was the general outspoken opin- ion of every one who, was shown the news, and none could praise Claus Spreckels too much. The gift will, if used properly, do much to alleviate dis tress during the long period between the present date and the crop season of 1899.
 Bankers, merchants, physicians and all the more prominent citizens seemed relieved by the news of the donation and many stated that numbers of those who will be relieved will accept help only on the condition that they will be allowed to return money when better times come. All except a few croakers, who seek to decry the existing want, declare that the gift comes in the nick of time and all say God bless Claus Spreckels, who, believing that suffer ing exists, extends a glad hand to all and makes Christmas time possibly a merry one
