PAST WHEELING.
w. A. Hubert Breaks the Road
Record to Stockton.

W. A. Hubert of the Capital city
Wheelmen, who three years ago dlstln-
guished himself by leaving Sacramento
at midnight on New Years eve ana
riding to Stockton and back, 1Oo miles,
by breakfast time, and then repeating
the trip, covering the 206 miles IN II
hours and % minutes, including stops
has been at his old tricks again.
Yesterday Hubert started for Stock
ton to take a fall out of Father Time,
and he succeeded He was started by
F. M. Woodson and George Stroner
from the C. C. w. rooms at $3.50 a. m.
He passed the Pioneer Ranch in 26:4o,
10 miles; Elk Grove, IA miles, in 4l:Uo;
Gait. 81 miles, in 1:16:3O, and Cherokee
lane, 3111a miles, 1:2S:O0; Lodi, 4it2
miles, 1:46:3O
He reached the Terminal City Wheel
mems rooms in Stockton in 2:34:O0, ar
irving at 1905 o'clock. breaking the
best previous record (held by E. ElHotD
by 10 minutes.
Hubert says his hair stood on end
during almost the entire ride, as the
road had dried up quickly, leaving ruts
which made it very dangerous to ride
at high speed, as an unsteady hand or
slight WAIVER of the wheel meant a fall,
with a broken wheel and perhaps
broken bones. But luckily he hadS no
fall
On leaving Lodi he encountered three
miles of road that was plowed two feet
deep the entire width of the road. 1t
was impossible to make any speed over
it, and he claims that judging by the
speed at which he had been going and
afterward attained, he lost nine min
utes on this piece of road.
On March 10, 1898, Elliott reduced
Hubert's former record of 10000 to
2:44:00, which Hubert tied on June
16, 1895.
Hubert was timed at Stockton yes
terday by F. G. Krumb, Secretary of
the Terminal City Wheelmen, Otto Sal
bash, Charles j. Dalton and A q.

The suen Canal and the Pe.simists.

= NC SsACA Ot14k4A anu S>>S =
1t was shown that from an engineer
ing point of view the Suez Canal was
impossible, while from commercial
point Of view it was proved, up TO the
hilt, that, even if the canal could be
made, it would, so far as traffic went,
be failure as melancholy to the phil
anthropist as it would be disastrous to
the investor.
The great authorities who spoke with
so much assurance are all dead, and
it is we'll for their comfort that they
are.
In 1869 traffic between the west and
the east, via Cape of Good Hope was
about 100000 tons. In 1897 the traf-
fic through the Suez Canal was 1885,
9S1 tons, while that round the Cape of
Good Hope was at least 3,750,OOO tons
In other words, one direct result of
the construction of the Suez Canal has
been that in twenty eight years the
commerce of the world has been in
creased 100000 tons annually.
1t is hardly necessary to add that the
return to the investor who risked his
money in what seemed to so many to
be hare-brained project has been, to
say the least of it, of a. fairly satisfac-
tory character-W. H. Hunter, In the
Engineering Magazine.

Friends of q Husband.

Men do not want their friend to
marry because it may possibly affect
them. Jack has been a good and gen.
erous fellow and they don't ike to lose
him. By marriage he becomes one less
In the world to dine with and to go to
the theater with; he is one less to share
expenses with them; and. if you look
at the friends side from even a lesa
selfish side, Jack is all right as he is.
Why not leave him alone? Why make
experiments? Marriage is q lottery
He may draw blank, he may not
make a good husband, or she may not
make a good wife; their old friends
may not get on with them, or they
may not get ON with their old friends
The position of affairs is this: The
girl is jealous of Jacks friends, Jacks
friends are jealous of her. A girls
first instinct is to work to undermine
their influences over Jack and to be-
little them behind their backs. This
invariably results in Jack being upset
for he is proud of his friends, he is
personally responsible for them, and to
belittle them is to cast aspersions on
his taste and his powers of judging
character. He flies out with, "Oh! you
don't like my friends" and she, hav-
ing to find an excuse, says, They don't
treat me with sufficient respect" Jack
takes their part, but goes out and has
a row with them, and then the war be-
gins, and forever and a day Jack has
said to him, How do you expect to get
on when the first thing she does is to
set you against all your very Oldest
friends?" Then they commence to adj
wise Jack about her movements, her
supposed attentions to other men. and
they advise him to get her to do this
and not to do that and generally make
Jack doubt his own taste.
The only way is for a girl to play
game of Cancellation and take the live
lest interest in each and all of their
pursuits and prospects and establish
the idea that, while you love Jack
above all men, you feel you entirely
owe his goodness to his friends, and
that your one idea Is that he is always
to be with them as of old, and ON the
rare occasions when he is at home they
are to be there, too. Things won't work
out that way, but that does not mat
ter. The main thing is they will be-
lieve you.

A CRYING NUISANCE.
Citrus Trees Daily Robbed Of Fruit
by Young Hood1ums.

Yesterday four young hoodlums.
ranging from II to 10 years of age,
went along P street, from Thirteenth
down to Ninth, knocking oranges from
trees on the sidewalks, and even in
vading yards for that purpose. They
We're armed with clubs, and not only
Knocked off the fruit but broke
branches from the trees in order to
secure the oranges.
A citizen who saw and finally dis
persed them secured their names and
intends to have the whole gang arrest
ed and sent to jail.
Property owners who have laid out
morey to improve and beautify the
city's sidewalks by planting orange
trees thereon, naturally want the fruit
left on them as long as possible, that
strangers may see something to please

them when they visit the city. 1t has
become the daily practice of boys going
along the streets to and from school
to pull or break down orange trees ana
rob them of their golden fruit. AS
most of these oranges are of the sour
variety and intended only for ornar
ment, they are not eaten, but are USED
for ball-playing, or are thrown in the
cutters.
It is safe to say that within the lass
two months hundreds of orange Trees
both inside and outside OF private
yards, have been ruthlessly despolieu
of their fruit by boys, and in dayiisnt
at that. An example should De maoe

UNExPENDED COMFORT FUND'
CAPTAIN HUGHES TELLS WHY
HE HOLDS IT.
Considers That Most of the $47.x7
Belongs to National Guard
Company E.

effect that Lieutenant Hughes of Com

pany F. California Volunteers), nao
failed to distribute among the members
of the company an unexpended balance
of the comfort fund.- turned over to
him by Captain Lucey when the latter
resigned and entered another company
to go to Manila. Captain Hughes was
asked yesterday by "Record-U mon
reporter what he had to say concern
ing the alleged withholding OF the
money. He said that after Captain
Lucey resigned he had entire control
of the company funds, and that he has
the absolute disposition thereof COM
pany E. National Guard, furn1shed
some $50 to Company F, California
Volunteers and it is his opinion that
sum belongs in the treasury OF the
old company, where he intends to place
it as soon as the old company is re-
organized and in a position to receive
it.
THE greater part of the S47.21 unex-
pended said Captain Hughes, would
have been spent on the members OF
Company F during the last month OF
service, if the sum of 5000 HAD not
been loaned to members to relieve
their immediate wants. The public no
doubt know that, owing to the delay
in mastering out, no pay was received
from September 30th till the date OF
mastering out, December 10Th. Here
