WHAT CAUSED THE WRECK?
The Engineer Was Sleepy from Alco-
hol, Which Is the Base Of
Anaesthetics

In conversation with a railroad en-
BtReer whom l was treating for alco-
holism recently, l asked him the above
question. referring to horrible wreck
which occurred not long since on one
Of our western roads.

DO you mean to say that the engi-

believe this effect to be due to the
anaesthetic action of alcohol. which
parslyzes the faculty of attention,
which is such an Indispensable pre-
requisite to good memory.
That alcohol is an anaesthetic there
can be no reasonable doubt. in view Of
the fact that it is the base of the prin-
cipal anaesthetics and the greatest Of
all hypnotics.
When alcohol is acted upon by chic
ride of lime, chloroform results. When
alcohol is acted upon by sulphuric acid

A NEW INEBRlETY.
Many Thousand Victims of the Ginger
Habit in England and
America.

The taking of ginger in the form Of
essence or strong tincture is revealed
by medical man as a growing form
Of inebriety both in this country and
in America.
AS its alcoholic strength is ABOUT
double that Of whisky or brandy, the
deleterious results of excessive indul-
gence can be imagined.
There is one recorded case in which
the daily dose of victim of ginger
ism" was increased from ten drops to
pint in the course of three years.
Though the habit is more practiced in
the United States than in England,
there are numbers of chemists In Lon
don who admit that they have regular
customers for the pungent essence.
who buy comparatively large quaint
ties every week.
The cause of the habit Is nearly al
ways the same. "Gipgerists" are peo-
pie with weary brains and disordered
stomachs, who seek pslliation Of the
results Of overwork. They know that
such drugs as morphine. choral, CO.
came and chloroform are accumulstive
In their effect upon the human sys-
tenn; they know also that ginger was
the homely remedy of their youth for
stomach troubles.
1t seems incredible, but It Is fact,
that from the taking OF a few drops
OF this powerful carminative for indi-
gestion a 'gingerist" will grow into
the habit of taking large doses, both
as tonic, sedative and a palliative
So far, inquiries show that women
are as much addicted to "gingerism"
as men, but the actaul victims are diff
hcult to trace. as essence of ginger Is
easily purchaseaDle in any chemists
shop by child or grown up person.
1t must be very vitiated taste that
can endure large dose of tincture Of
ginger. said a wholesale chemist yes
terday. But, of course, the same can
be said of most violently acting drugs.
Once there is a physical demand
created for particular stimulant, the
palate is disregarded. 1t Is the result
which is looked forward to, not the
Immediate impression. In this con-
nection, at least, the ordinary alcoholic
drinker is more sane than the morphia
taker or the 'gingerist.' He may put
that in his mouth which steals away
his brain, but at least he gets some
physical sensation of pleasure In the
operation. 'Gingerism' is a depraved
form of drugging."
The result Of the practice seems to
be a negation OF the results aimed at.
A doctor said yesterday that this form
OF inebriety, after giving relief at first,
completely disorders the stomach and
gives no relief to busy brain.

The baseball game between Ply
mouth and Volcano played here last
Sunday ended IN a victory for the
home team. Davis and Grillo pitched
superb ball, but the former weakened
in the last three innings, allowing
four bases ON balls and three clean
hits. Up to the sixth innings it was
anyone's game. The trouble began in
the seventh, when Grillo put down
to Boro, who threw the ball over
Arditto, and by the time they had the
ball in the diamond Jim was on cush-
ion No 3. Davis put one right over
the rubber, and Bradshaw met it.

The majority of the two hundred
people who attended the game said it
was the best game they had seen for

Glanini played fine game, max

umpi "e's decision.

CAVED ON AND KILLED.

James Nankervis was caved on and
instantly killed while working in
the Argonaut mine on Friday night.
At the time of the accident he was
working in the stope at the 1000
level, his partner being Radd Glav-
mich. They we're preparing to put
in set of timbers at some distance
from the station level. Glavinich
noticed the ground from the hanging
wall slipping, and jumped away, at
the same time calling to Nankervis to
get out. Nankervis jumped the wrong
way, and a mass of gouge, estimated
at 300 pounds struck him on the head,
completely burying the upper part of
his body. He never spoke or uttered
a cry. Foreman W. j. Nettle was
notified, and the victim was extri-
Gated from the debris in few mIu-
utes. He was dead when taken out,
black in the face from suffocation,
and no doubt, was crushed internally,

WOODMEN JUBILEE.

The Jackson jubilee of Woodmen
of the World was held June oath at
Odd Fellows hall. Thirty-two new
members we're initiated into the
mysteries of the wood. OF course, as
there was so large number, his goat
ship was greatly in evidence and kept
the candidates guessing where he
would mateIialize next, before or
after. Some of the candidates we're
so timid about going through the
wood, they stumbled over stumps and
ran up against trees, while the sharp
sound of axes heard all around con-
fused them so, it it we're not for the
goat who was on the alert to keep
them along, they might have been
wandering among the trees yet. But
he did his duty nobly and if one lag
ged behind, gave him gentle re-
minder that it is better to progress
than to retrograde. After the lodge
work was finished all repaired to the
banquet hall where they were met by
committee of the sister lodge,
Women of the Woodcraft, and escorted
to we'll filled tables which had been
prepared by the ladies. After all had
partaken of the good things before
| them toastmaster Shear called upon
chaplain Winning for remarks. Mr..
Winning responded promptly and in
few we'll chosen words set forth the
merits of the order of Woodmen State
oragnizer Gilray, who came up from
San Francisco with his wife to be pre-
sent, then spoke in an able and
comprehensive manner of the progress
of the order from the time it started
| with SLIGO to the present, when it is
| represented by thousands of dollars.
Mr.. Gilray is at once an eloquent and
agreeable speaker. Following Mr..
Gilray, assistant organizer Craw, who
said he was not an orator, made a
neat little speech which made us
think he was joking when he said so.
Guardian neighbor Zumbiel of the
Women of the Woodcraft was then
called upon and told in few words
the appreciation OF visitors from out
side camps especially the drill team
| from Protection camp of Stockton.
Just here Mr.. Craw was the recipient
of tribute, the Presentation being
performed by j. j. Wright. Mr.. Craw
expressed great surprise and hesitated
about examining it, but finally, with
the assistance of two or three ladies,
managed to get at the contents amid
roars of laughter. The joke was
thoroughly appreciated, even by Mr.
Craw, when the contents came to
light. Mr.. Craw is an indetatigable
worker and certainly deserves a great
deal of credit for bringing his cam
paign to such successful issue as
was witnessed here last Saturday
night. Council commander Benjamin
of Stockton was greatly in evidence
Throughout the evening and went
away feeling he had left many friends
