ChlOrOfOrm as a Stlmulant.

DR.. Stephen w. Roof said to a New
York Sun reporter: "Unquestionably,
the use of chloroform as stimulant
has declined Of late years, but there is
still great deal of the drug consum-
ed in that way. 1t is by no means
easy to determine who are the chloro.
form drunkards, for they are almost
all women, and women are very Secre-
tive and cunning when it comes to do
ing what they know is wrong. They
will buy small quantities of the fluid
from different drug stores, where they
are not known, and under various
pretexts. Often they will get it in the
form of very strong chloroform lini-
ment, when they simply purpose in
haling it, but wish to conceal the fact.
There arc almost as many women
who use ulphuric ether in that way as
there are who take chloroform, but the
latter is most likely to be preferred, az
it is sweeter and pleasanter. When
the evil effects Of hydrate Of chloral
were exposed anumber Of years ago,
at time when it was apopular drug
for those who sought intoXication 9TH
er than alcoholic, a good many women
were badly scared, but, unable to drop
everything of the sort, turned from it
to chloroform and ether. The habit
of getting drunk on such things be,
comes fixed, just as the habit of liquor
drinking does, but it is less likely to
spread and make new permanent vic
tins, because there is no sOciaDility
about these drug drinks. People who
resort to them do so positively and
solely for the sensual and selfish graft
lication of inebration. And they do
not afford the satisfaction that drink
ing men want and find in liquor. If
you saturate a cloth with chloroform
or ether, throw it over your face and
breathe the fumes, you will have a
very brief exhilaration, say for min
ute or two, and then all will be gone,
except, perhaps, little feeling of nau-
sea. TO get drunk as drinking man
can with liquor, it is necessary to keep
on saturating the cloth at short inter
walls.
"Women who have tendency to
hySteria are those most likely to resort
to the use of chloroform and ether. OF
course, temporary relief is obtained,
but the ultimate consequence is an ag-
gravation of the complaint, and those
drugs will induce mental and physi-
cal condition like mania a potu, just
as certainly as liquor will knew of
woman few years ago, the wife OF
an excellent gentleman, downtown
merchant, who was a slave to ether.
She was one of a family of six child
ren, who all had an inherited predis-
position to drunk .nneSs. Every little
while the craving would come upon
her for an ether spree. She would
have a violent fit Of hysteria, and to
quiet her the husband was obliged to
supply her with ether. lie used to buy
it in quantity from whr'esale house,
and she would empty poL>l bottles by
the dozen. Each Of her ether sprees
would last about two weeks. During
that time she would shut herself up in
her room, and SO much of the drug did
she use that the smell of it would en-

A MONTANA RAILROAD.
Opening of a New and Very Rich Mining Dis
trict East Of Yellowstone Park.

The bill pending in the senate to grant the
right of way to the Cinnnbar and Clark's Fork
Railroad company through the northern Dor
der of the Yellowstone park is one of great
merit, and should be passed without delay.
The bill proposes no subsidy and II passed will
afford TN outlet to n portion of Montana ana
Wyoming territories which Is now wholly cut
of from all railroad facilities.
The Clari's Fork mining district alone con-
tains several hundred registered mining claims,
and has several thousand inhabitants 1t Is
rich in silver and gold lodCs, which are almost
undevCloped. Two smcltcrs are in operation,
and many rich lOdes are being worked: but
transportation costs both in and out of the dis
trict from to s cents II pound, and thus prac.
tiCally shuts oil the most valuable portion of
these territories from development. The gov
Crnmcnt will not build II road there, and no
others can DO SO without It's consent II Is
wholly unwurrautablc to deprive the enter
prising citizens of that region of the power to
help themselves, when the government either
cannot or will not do the work.
The route proposed for this road has been
reported upon by the committees on railways
of both the senate and house TO be the only
one possible ol, opcrniion.,. AL other routes
are covered with snow thegrcatcr part Of the
year, and entirely imprncticable to build or
operate. These reports are sustained by the
written opinion of Gen. Anderson, chief engi-
nccr of the North Pacific ruilrond; by Henry
GQrnctt chief gcOgraphCr of the United states,
and by the letters and atlidavits of very many
other railway engineers and other persons
familiar with the country. The bill should
