A Mcxicnn's Idea OF Americans.
Mexican Letter.l

Coming down from Agnas Calientcs
that morning my friend had a conver-
sation with n fellow passenger, a Mexi-
can gentleman, which will give some
little idea of the character of the greater
part of Americans seen through that
section OF the country. Among other
things the gentleman was asking some
thing concerning our civil courts, and
finally he asked: "ls IL fact that no
document signed after II o. clock noon is
considered legal in tho United States?'
Certainly not" said my friend.
But" said the gentleman, II think
you must be mistaken, for i have heard
1t asserted positively that in any litiga.
tion in the United States in which doc
umentary evidence is introduced the
Judge always asks, Was this paper
signed before or after noon,' and IL II
was signed after noon 1t is not consid-
cred to have any legal power"
"But why" asked the friend, very
much puzzled, "should the hour a docu-
ment was signed have anything to dc
with its legalityW
"Why,' said the Mexican, with the Mt
most sincerity, "all Americans arc sup
posed to be drunk after ~ O'clock"
This was news to us, but The longer
we remained in the country and the
better acquainted we became with the
class OF men who go to Mexico to seek
their fortunes, the more we saw how
easy il was for such an impression to
have originated. Outside of few
Americans who go down to Mexico OH
special business or few who go down
on contracts made in the states, most OF
the Americans ! met were such as had
left the states because they had to, and
were drawback to any country they

to learn that one of our most estimable

Immediately notified and an inquest
held. The verdict of the jury was that
deceased came to his death by gunshot
wound inflicted by his own hand.
The burial services were performed
Thursday afternoon, the body being In

Deceased was a brother of an esti-
mable citizen, Thomas Murphy, was 5S
years old and had resided in Conconully
about two years. He was q man of sed-
entary habits, possessed of more than
ordinary intelligence, and by his quiet,

THE uoT-AIR TREATMENT.

Boise Statesman: DR.. Dubois has a
consumptive from Lemhi county, who
is trying the efficacy of the treatment
known as the supcrheated air remedy.
Yesterday the patient inhaled into his
lungs air heated to 425 degrees. 1t Is
one of the mysteries of physiology .hat
q human being can endure air In the
lungs heated to this degree. 1t seems
incredible, but the fact is we'll attestcd
As matter of fact, the air, when 1t
reaches the lung cells is not quit so hot
MS these figures indicate, as the tempcra-
ture of the supcrheated air current is
somewhat lowered in its passage through
the mouth, throat and bronchial tubes.
This process, however, can not lower the
temperature more than 100 degrees, so
that the lungs do actually receive the
air at a temperature of 325 degrees. As
il is well-known that consumption Is
caused by living germs or parasitical or
ganisms that have fastened themselves
upon the lungs, whose tissues they de-
stroy by their growth and propagation,
and as IL has also been proved by actual
experiment that these germs can not re-
sist degree of heat equal to 40 degrees,
the great question of curing consump-
ton seems to be definitely and satistao.
torily met and answered. That air
heated to the degree named causes
neither injury nor pain, or even discom-
fort to the patient, makes the trial OF
this remedy both safe and pleasant.

SNOW IN IDAHO.

Boise Statesman; The telephone re-
ported heavy falls of snow in the noun
tains yesterday. In the Boise basin the
snow was already foot in depth, with u
much thicker coat on the surrounding
mountains. In Silver City and at DE
Lamar the snow Is also rapidly increas-
ing. Here In the Boise valley the show
ers continue with slight intermixture
of snow. From the city the surround
ing mountains can be seen, all white
with the newly fallen snow. These facts
are all matters of general rejoicing espe-
cially for the placer miners In the Boise
basin, who have suffered from two long
years of water famine. Everybody now
predicts a prosperous season next year

ENGLISH DELIBERATIONS.
LONDON, Dec. 6-The cabinet of the

known as the Operatives Claim"
When the monarchy was abolished dur
ing the reign of King Albert Edward,
who succeeded Queen Victoria, the real
estate of the landed gentry was conts-
Gated with the ostensible view to parcel
out to the operatives in the populous in

with general acclamation when II was
proposed, now some eighty years ago.

Lieutenant Gluss had plenty of supplies
on hand and stopped here only to cable
TO his government the news of his Won

impatient to reach the United States
that they passed here only thirty min

here over the arrival of fhe Pole, as it
was thought she had ceMainly been lost,
