BLEW OUT THE GAS.

The Timely Arrival of Hotel Porter
caves q Funeral.
Judging from the experiences oil
Adolfo Arzamendi, Wednesday night,
the luxury of gas has net as yet invaded
Mexico. The gentleman arrived late
Wednesday evening at the United
States hotel from the City of Mexico
on his way to Todos Santos, Lower CAL
ifornia. He could not speak English,
and could not read the sign Of "Not to
blow out the gas" SO conspicuously
posted. 30 when he got ready to get into
bed he proceeded to blow out the light
in the way that he had grown aocus-
toned to in his native land.
After blowing until he had grown
black in the face and tbs light still re-
fusing to go out. he put his hat over the
fame and was soon enwrapped in dark
meas, likewise strong gas odor. Juet
about the time that MIR. Arzamendi was
becoming nicely inflated the porter dis-
covered the smell from the hall and
made timely investigation. The trsv-
sler was NOS very muah the worse for his
experience yesterday when he left for
San Diego.
