Sudden Death Of n Woman-A Free Use OF
Chl0rOfOrm.

Sudden Death Of n Woman-A Free Use OF
Chloroform.
Last night the brief announcement was made by
telegraph to the Central once that q female named
Maggie Dressoy, an inmate Of house No. 135 East
Eighth street, kept by Mrs. Josephine Woods, had
committed suicide. Inquiries made at the house re-
suited the elicting OF further particulars. From
the statements Of Mrs. Woods 1t appears that she
has several lady boarders VINO for some time
have been In the habit Of using chloroform daily.
Some time ago o boarder named Miss Gussy OBJ
tanned doctor's prescription for chloroform and
she has since made 1t constant practice to lnhale
II. The rage for chloroform extended through the
entire house, until last week, when one OF the occu
pants was stricken down with 1t and had narrow
escape from death. Orders were at once given
that IL should be no longer used on the
premises; but II appears that the friends
OF deceased obtained her prescription and
presenting 1t at the drug store obtained all they re-
quired. Yesterday at noon one OF the inmates OBJ
tanned thirty cents worth OF the poison and conveyed
II to the house. Whether II was given to deceased
does not appear She was last seen ct four O'Clock.
when she retired to her room; at SIX she was found
dead.
The unfortunate girl has been q boarder at the
house some three months. Very little Ia known
OF her antecedents beyond the fact that
she Is n Native Of 81. John, New Bruns-
wick. Last evening ner friends who nre said TO re-
side Of l26 st. James street, st. John, were tele-
graphed to bv Mrs. Woods.
The occupants OF the house are OF the impression
that the death was accidental but an inquest IL
20 be held 10 day the facts In the Will doubt
be e.tcitou.

The greater part Of the jewellers Of the United
States keep Watham Watches and cordially re-
commend them to their customers, notwithstani-
ing the fact that less profit il made on these
watches than on any others generally sold by the
trade. Tia" reason o! this il, that the reputa.
ton Of the WAItham Watch renders il an easy
sale, md the result is that. although the dealer
does not make ss much money on each indiyi-
dual watch ~ be may on the sale Of other watch
es, he is stl,l the gamer through larger and live
iIcr sales. There are come however, among the
trade, who do not give the Waltham Watch that
hearty support which it deserves This portion
portion Of the trade fancy there il more money
to be made by dealing in watches about which
the public are ignorant, AMI in which there Is
less competition, and are content to make an
occasional sale Of such watches at a large profit,
1t is this class Of dealers who, when asked about
WaItham Watches, use that Kind of language
which leads tho customer finally tobuy just such
a watch nsis tho most prohta lie for tho dealer
