DYNAMITE FlENDS.
MesIeans Have Discovered That the
lHpiosive Is a Dream Producer.

Explosive Is a Dream Producer.
An American bl. .lne,s man of
Monterey who was on visit a few
days ago to mining camp situated
near the city was surprised and mys-
tiiied % hear one Mexican miner
say to ms companion as they came
from the depths Of mine:
Come over to the cantina to-
night and take some dynamite with
me"
The American superintendent ex-
plained the invitation:
THAT was not an invitation TO
take drink Of some new brand of
liquor, a. might be supposed" he
said. "Those two Mexicans are dy-
Mantle fiends. They actually eat
dynamite and get drunk on the dan
gerous substance
1t is fact that many Of the Mex
lean miners of the peon class are
dynamite eaters. 1t is a vice that
IS rapidly spreading to all Of the
mining camps in Mexico. j C..
Ford, prominent American mining
man Of the Guadalupe Calyo dis
trict, SAID concerning this new
habit:
Users Of dynamite soon learn
that il Is a powerful stimulant and
that the effects of intoxication are
pleasing while they last beyond the
most excruciating phantasics of an
opium dream. Dynamite is manu-
factured for the purpose Of smash
ing things, and tiny bit Of it cours-
ing through the veins smashe, the
whole end Of care and blows dullness
into atoms.
The 'dynamlleur usually j. ser}
DAINTY and exact IN ms method oi
going about the introduction Of
high explosive into his system. The
preferred way TO do this j. 10 c.tl
of a small piece Of - per cent
-dyna. about the size of pea. This |
IS dissolved in small glass of mcs
cal or tequile, and the draft IS quail
I'd down with a gusto that comes
from pleasant anticipations The
performer of this trick then rolls in |
his blanket and stretches himself |
at length in the cool shade. 1t i |
said that very soon his nerves begin |
to tingle, and stranger dreams come
to him than the weird visions in
iuced by hasheesh.
'The amount Of dynamite con-
;umed at an ordinary camp by those
addicted to taking u into their sys
ems in the way above described Il
o large that 1t appreciably affects
he quantity Of that explosive re
Iuired to carry on the regular work.
There is large and increasing num-
,er Of people addicted to vice that
,nly the most imaginative of per
ons could have invented. 1t may not
,e assuming too much to state that
'ventually dynamite will be dis
,ensed at saloons as much as are to-
,acco and alcoholic drinks and the
dynamiteur' will be as distinct a
lass as the absintheur or ordinary
'oozer." 1T Monterey (Mexico) Let

nue. cutter Gallatin To Gloucester.
During some eyolution- al the Nes-

His Aged Mother in the Court Room When Sentence of
 Death Was Pronounced
JANUARY 2S THE DAY
The Prisoner Left the Court Room Without Even Speaking to His Mother.-Hopes For a New
 Trial.

Herkimer, N. r., Dec 10.-Chester Gillette's mother was in court to-day when her son was to be sentenced for the murder of Grace Brown. Mrs Gillette arrived from Denver to-day, having been sent at the expense of two newspapers.
 Gillette showed no emotion as he entered the court room. His face was pale, but his step was steady and his voice unshakep when reply ing to the question as to whether he had anything to say why sentence of death shoiuld not be passed upon him. He said: T am innocent of the crime charged in this indictment and therefore sentence should not be pronounced" He was then sen- tenced to be electrocuted during the week beginning January 2S. After he had been sentenced he left the court room. not speaking even to his mother, who sat behind him. He said he was glad to see her, but did not wish to see her through prison bars. He still has hopes of new trial.

UP, GO WAGES
Operatives of Cotton Mills in Southern New England Gel
 Raise of7t.2 Per Cent
OTHER ADVANCEM

Boston, Dec 10.-The wages of about 45O00 operative in cotton mills in Southern New England and west. ern Massachusetts were advanced to. day by at least seven and. ona-half per cent. The exact percentage of the increase was somewhat in doubt ear ly to-day on account of a dispute In New Bedford between the textile un- ions and the manufacturers regarding the rate of the advance. Outside of Fall River and other print cloth towns, which raised the pay of their 36.OO0 hands last month. the cloth mills which to date have decided to advance the wage schedule base the percentage on that adopted by the New Bedford mlll men, and until the issue in the latter city has been set tied the extent of the increase given today will not be fixed.
 It was expected that a conference arranged for to-day In New Bedford would clear up the situation. partially at least.
 The cotton mills of Rhode Island and those factories In towns outside the state In which the Rhode Island interests have plants put the new schedule into effect to-day. Their ac- ton was followed by number of in Massachusetts.
 Last month wages were raised ten per cent in Fall River. Augusta. Me, Amcsbury. East Taunton and other places. An advance of five per cent was given a week ago in the Bers- shire and Greylook mills of Adams and at the Interlaken mills of Harris and Arkwright. R. I.

Gtorer, shall ret forth briefly the facts of the case. giving certain letters which are necessary In order to un- derstand clearly those which he prints.
 T first met the Storers while was civil service commissioner, and he had come to Washington as congress- man. They were then kind and friend ly in their relations with me and my family. l retained q lively recollec- ton of this kind and friendly attitude and because of the affection it in spired I submitted to conduct from MT. and Mrs. Storer to which would have submitted from no other ambas- sador and his wife, and did not re- sent their actions until it became evil dent that they were likely to damage American interests. Mrs. Storer in- sisted to me often that their change of creed had proved a deadly blow to her husbands career and they were suffering for conscience's sake. I ac- cepted this statement as true, and 1t gave me certain chivalric feeling that ought to do what could to help them and be as patient as possible with them.

WATERS ARE RISING.
Imperial and Coachella Valleys Men
 aced By the Floods.

Yuma, Ariz. Dec 10.--Once more the entire Colorado river is flowing into the Salton sink and Imperial and Coachella valleys once more are meneced by rising waters. The main line of the Southern Pacific again must be moved to higher ground, un- less the water can be brought under control. A thousand persons in Sal- ton basin must lose their homes, in- cluding a quarter of million acres of farming lands, the Southern Pa cific must build 200 miles of new main line, and irrigation about Yuma must be abandoned. The gov ernment Laguna dam irrigation pro- ject may become an impossibility. At a conservative estimate more than $25. 100000 of present values are at stake upon the success of the effort to close the break.
 What is known as the Hind dam was thrown across the new channel and an earth dike was built up par allel to the river for ten miles. main- ly in Mexico. On the Arizona side of the river is the government dike. Four days ago water found its way through both dikes. flooding large areas. This was thought to be seri- ous. but was not considered critical until Saturday night, when the wa- ter developed distinct channel. and yesterday disclosed the fact that the entire river had found It's way around Hind dam into the channel from which it had just been barred. The dam itself Is uninjured. It Is believed here that the Southern Pa- cific immediately will begin the con- struction of forty miles of road around the Salton sea abont fifty feet above the preent grade.
