AN INGENIOUS DEVICE,


Taking ChlOroform.
One of the most peculiar eases is that
of "A doctor who wa formerly one OF
the finest practitioners of the West.
Coming from an excellent family, pos
sessed Of large wealth, he received a
liberal education, and. deciding to
become a physician, studied at one of
the best Eastern colleges, and gradu-
ated with unusual honors. Many years
ago he came to San Francisco, and
after having been established here for
u short time began to acquire a fine
practice. In flew years he had among
his patients some Of the most promi-
nent and wealthy men of the city. He
had occasion to use a large quantity of
chloroform in his treatment, and when
he began to be troubled with insomnia,
the result of repeated attacks of neu-
ralgia, he also turned to the annsthetic
for relief. But the remedy subse-
qucntly proved to be worse than the
disease, for with repeated applications
he found hat he was unable to discon-
tinue its use, and soon became a con-
tirmed user of the drug. He would
frequently return to bed during the
early part Of the day for the purpose
of enjoying the drug, and not a night
passed that he did not avail himself of
its sleep-producing powers. Tho cum
ming of an insane mind began to devise
means to add to the enjoyment of the
body, and finally evolved an idea which
must be admitted to be certainly orig
inal.
Obtaining a long rubber tube. which
could be easily stretched, he attached
FIRMLY to the ceiling at a spot which
would be directly over his head when
in bed. 70 the other end he fastened
a medium'sized sponge. After getting
into bed he would pour three OF four
ounces of, chloroform ever the sponge,
using half u pound during the
and then pulling it down to his
face would hold it to his nostrils until
Inconsistencies ensued. When his
hand fell to his side, the tension on the
rubber tube being relaxed, the sponge
naturally flew upwards, leaving the
victim to continue his sleep without he
possibility of receiving an overdose.
If he awoke during the night The
operation would be repeated. at was
great scheme" to use Il slang phrase,
it is not known if the doctor ever
for a patent on the invention.
i is possible, however, that the prac-
ice continued until he had been a
User of the drug for some time, and 5 o
continued until he had merely patients &
to enable him to preserve a
proper appearance of responsibility.
Although practically a slave to the drug
or years, it is said, but with what
can not be readily ascertained,
hat of late he has begun to see the A
andwriting on the wall, and realizing
that the end must be unless the habit
abandoned now uses the drug to but
small extent.-San Francisco Chron- :

OFF FOR BERLIN.
Emperor Frederick Starts for the
National Ca pitat.

SAN RENO, March 1O.-Emperoi
Frederick III. passed a good night
last night He feels extremely well.
He drove to the station at 8 o'clock
this morning, accompanied by the
Empress Victoria, to take the special
train in waiting to convey him to
Berlin. The largest crowd ever seen
in San Reno gathered to witness his
departure. The new Emperor was
enthusiastically cheered by the crowd,
and he repeatedly bowed his acknowl-
edgements to their greetings.
The Emperor entered the railway
carriage without assistance and then
turned and assisted the Empress to
enter. The municipal authorities and
a number of civilians were on the
platform. Large crowds surrounded
the station, and the Emperor raised
his hat in response to their saluts-
tons when he reached the platform.
He looks we'll, with the exception of
his complexion, which is somewhat
yellow. He shook hands with the
German Consul ana others. AS the
train left the station, the Emperor
was heartily cheered.
MET BY KING HUMBERT.
ROME, March 10.-King Humbert
travelled from Rome to San Pierre
d'Arsna to meet Emperor Frederick.
When the train reached the station
King Humbert entered the coach oc-
cupied by the Emperor and embraced
him. The scene at this meeting was
touching. The Emperor was voice
less owing to his disease, but he wrote
many notes, in one Of which he thanked
the Italian Parliament for the honor
and respect it had paid his father and
himself. The Empress Victoria trans
lated to King Humbert the signs made
by the Emperor and conversed with
the King in French. The Emperor
was suffering from fatigue but other
wise he was in his normal condition.
His throat was closely muf1led and he
wore hooded cape and heavy sur
tout , he silent parting between the
two rulers was affecting. King Hum
bert's suite were impressed with the
comparative robustness.

the two countries might continue
friendly.
PRE-; 8 COMMENTS.

The North German Gazette says
"The deep sorrow in which the death
Of the Emperor has sunk the German
nation, casts dark shadow not only
on our own national feeling, but far
beyond on the character Of the whole
international situation. Europe rec
ognized and revered the Emperor as
a faithful and powerful protector of
international peace. Although no
honest man can doubt that his males
ty's influence will live on, unweaken-
cned and unchanged, everybody feels
the wide gap which the disappear
ance from his dominion of his person
ality leaves behind. One thing can
be gathered with the greatest certain
ty from the signs of cordial sympathy
in which Austro- Hungarian and Eng
lish papers have We'd with each other,
and from the still more touching atti-
tude OF Italy, that Germany does not
stand alone in her sorrow. We are
convinced that proofs of sympathy
from abroad will reach even greater

ERUSSIAN COMMENTS.
EaudatOry Tributes to the Dead
Emperor,


ST. PETERSBURG, March 10.--The
newspapers to-day appear in mourn
ing for and publish necrologies of the
dead Emperor OF Germany. All the
papers express sympathy at the loss
sustained they say not only by Ger
many but by the whole world.
The Journal de s. Petersburg says ::
The death of the Emperor William
is not less deeply regretted in Russia
than in Germany. The Russian dy-
nasty loved the deceased Emperor as
friend who was ever found at the
post OF duty or danger. He was a
fortunate soldier during the first part
of his reign, and knew how to devote
the remaining two-thirds to the pre-
servation OF peace. He died covered
VITA imperishable glory, and sur.
rounded by love, universal veneration
and admiration.
Other papers extol the deceased for
his noble mental qualities, and speak
of him as great patriot and
victorious commander. They COM
ment on the turning point in political
