J. J. ROBINSON", W. P. WRIGHT, .Feb U, l&i Administrators, Liquor was tals Coin. Chicago, Feb. 13.?There lies at the county morgue the remains of a man whose history has probably few parallels for profligacy and pathos. His name was Robert Rathgerber, for? merly [of prominence- -in. New]?York, but lately a homeless, penniless out? cast. Yesterday, to end a miserable existence, he took poison, and last night died at the County Hospital. The clerk at the Sherman House was surprised to see standing before him a ragged man whose lines 01dissipation could scarcely conceal his1 refined coun? tenance. "I want a place to rest," said the stranger. "I have taken poison and I am going to die." An ambulance was hastily called a:ad the man was taken to the County Hospital, where he sank into insensi? bility, from which condition the doc? tors could not rally him. It was learned that Rathgerber's mother resided at No. 3345 Groveland aeenue. She is a well-preserved wo? man of 91 years, known as one of the wealthiest women on the South Side, having large property interests said to be valued at nearly $1,000,000. A brother-in-law, who lived on Cottage Grove avenue, is rated at nearly the same sum. Mr. Rathberger, father of the dead man, who died only three years ago, was reputed one of the richest men in the city, having made a fortune in the real estate business. Robert Rathberger was once a million? aire, with large business interests in New York. He had a handsome wife and a bright son. An unquenchable thirst for liquor, it is said, led him to neglect his wife and business until the former secured a divorce and the latter Went to ruin. From that time until his death Robert appears to have lived for one thing alone?liquor. , "Forty-five years ago, the family which it of Jewish origin, occupied a high social position in Berlin," said an acquaintance of the dead man last night. "It was wealthy, and, it is said, had political influence through its association with the Roths? childs in financial and social matters. Then the father concluded to come to America to increase his already large fortune. He lived in New York a few years, and then moved to Chicago, and engaged in the real estate business with great success. When his son Robert became of age he started a wholesale tobacoo house in New York. His business brought him immense returns. "At the age of 22 he went back to Berlin to marry a woman of equal for? tune and great beauty. Two years after the marriage a son was born. He associated with the upper class of young fellows in New York} and in two years was a total Wreck, mentally and financially. His father in Chica? go supported him nntil he Jbecamo a burden and then cast him off. His wife, broken-hearted, took her young child and returned to her parents in Berlin. "A bankrupt and a wreck, Rath gerber returned to Chicago and was supported by his father and brothers and sisters until three years ago. His father's death failed to help him any, as he had spent his patrimony in the previous years. Then he hired out as a 3ommon house-janitor ( which he had followed afc irregular intervals ever iin.ee? "About a week ago he called on his mother and begged for assistance. He was given a considerable sum of mon? ey and a gold watch and chain. Night before last he visited her again. His besotted appearance and the glare in his eyes plainly told how he had spent the money given him. His clothes Were ragged and torh, and his whole appearance denoted a prolonged debauch. He again asked for money but was refused. Then he turned and said that the beginning of his end had come. He went out the door bidding them farewell," To-day Rathberger's brother-in-law visited the Morgue and made arrange? ments for his burial according to the Jewish rites. His wife and child who are still in Berlin, were notified by cable of his death, and that will end the wretched life of a once proud and happy man. Trained Turkeys. "Tame turkeys can be trained to hunt wild ones," said Major A. S. Willis. "I owned one called Dick down in Polk County, Tenn., that obtained a State reputation, I was offered $100 for him at one time, but then I thought he was a phenomenal bird. Since his death, however, I have discovered that the talent; for hunting wild turkeys is not uncommon among tame ones. "The call of the wild fowl differs from that of the domestic one, but the latter can easily learn the former's calls if the hunter is patient enough to teach him. The tame turkey can be taught so that he can be taken to the woods, and will then send forth the challenge call. If a turkey cock is within hearing an answering note of defiance is invariably irlade. This is replied to, and finally the wild turkey will come very cautiously until he sees the tame one, as he is a suspi? cious creature. But when he sees the turkey his fears are gone, and he starts at once to do battle. Then the trained turkey runs and the hunter shoots. "The advantages of this method of hunting are very great. While a hunter can imitate a turkey call pretty closely, there is an accompaniment made by striking the ground with the wings which cannot be reproduced, and without this the game is suspi? cious. The hunting turkey must be taken in hand when very young aud constantly drilled, but beyond the patience required very little skill need exist upon the part of the trainer." ? The reports of unusual prosperity in Ireland during the past year will bo read with interest by the sons of Erin the world over. While many other countries have suffered from industrial and agricultural depression, Ireland has harvested the best, crop since Her Life and Bomance Ended. Mrs. Thomas Smales died at Or? ange, N. J., on Saturday. She was shot in the head in early life, and car? ried the bullet in her skull to her deathbed. Her life was eventful and marked by a determination and un? faltering endeavor that made her in many respects an exceptional char? acter. She was Miss Frances Dayton, of Virginia, and she boasted she was one of the "F. F. Vs." Her parents were wealthy. When only five years old her mother died and a few years later her father married again. The stepmother did not take kindly to the child, and after a short time Frances was sent north to be educated at the "Gunnery," then, as now, a celebrated school in Washington, Conn. Here she grew to be a radiantly beautiful girl. Admirers were not wanting, and among them was Thomas Smales. Vows were exchanged, and the youflg folks vowed to be faithful until death One of Frances' ardent admirers was a young southern lad. She repulsed him over and over again, but he wasn't discouraged. He invited her out for a walk one afternoon, and when they reached a secluded spot he once mere asked her to become his wife. She again rejected his suit. "If you do not accept me you shall die," he cried. "No other man shall call you bride." He drew a revolver. The young girl screamed and started to flee, but he fired. She fell to the ground. The young man's desperation turned to fright, and he brought aid. The bul et had struck Frances just behind and above the left ear. All attempts to locate and extract it were futile. For weeks she lay between life and death, and at last slowly came back to safety once more. Her left side, however, remained partly paralyzed. Full of pluok, she resolved to finish her course at the school, and did so, graduating with high honors. Then she went to pay a visit to Mrs. Amelia 0. Bird, of Orange, N. J., a lifetime friend. While there she determined to study medicine in order to treat herself. The bul? let in her head still gave her great trouble. Her physicians discouraged her, but she insisted. Then the thought occurred to her that perhaps the elec? trical sparks that telegraph operators constantly receive might be utilized as curative agents. She said to her physician : "If I work for a year in a telegraph office will you then believe I can study medicine success full?" The reply was "Yes." According? ly she entered the Western Union of? fice at Orange and worked at the key for a year. She then matriculated at the Woman's Medical College of the New York Infirmary, and took the full course, graduating with honors in 1876. During her examinations she broke down physically , and some of them she passed through while lying in her bed. Again the plucky woman determin? ed to go still onward. She went to Berlin, Grermany, where she passed a graduation examination, and then went to London, England, to practice. All this time her early love had been true to her. fiis family remov? ed to Australia, but he kept up a con? stant correspondence with her. At last, with a small capital, he returned to the United States and established himrt?f in the potographio business in Brunswick, Ga.: Here he prospered so that in a few years he was in a po? sition to claim his bride. A loving message crossed the ocean, the young doctor sailed lor this country and the two were married in 1882. Taking up life in Brunswick, Ga., Mrs. Smales threw herself heart and soul into charitable work. It was through her efforts that the first hos? pital was built there and the first training schol for nurses established in all the south. About s; year ago her health failed and she came north to board with her old friend, Mrs. Bird. She failed: steadily and last week Was taken with convulsions. Dr. T. U. Gray was called in and he could do nothing to relieve her. ifhe old bullet iu her head troubled her and it is supposed that this aggrvated her paralytic symptoms and caused heart failure. She died suddenly on Saturday afternoon. Her husband reached her bedside some time before the end. All her life lddg she had a horror of being buried alive and when she died her husband refused to believe that she was dead and insisted that she was in a trance. County Physician Elliott was summoned and wanted to perform an autopsy, but the bereaved husband refused to allow it. The funeral will be held in Mrs. Bird's house in Centre street, Orange, this afternoon at 3o'clock. The Rev. Alexander Mann, of Grace Episcopal church, which Mrs. Smales attended, will officiate and the interment will be made in Rosedale cemetery.? New York Iteratd. ? Tuesday evening of last week J. Lawronce Tolleson committed suicide at the residence of his mother, Mrs. Mary B. Sims, near Gowdeysville, Union county, by shooting himself with a pis? tol. The cause that led to the commis? sion of the rash act was supposed to have been failing health and general despon? dency. From the evidence given before the inquest the deed was not altogether unexpected on the part of his mother and other intimate friends. He bad frequent? ly spoken to them about destroying him? self and had even suggested the idea to some that an easy way to die would be by shooting himself in the head. ? A most remarkable case has recently been under treatment in New York, which has so far baffled the effort! of the physicians, and wbich will probably end in the patient's deatb. Ton weeks ago John Carberry, a robust man, was getting shaved, when the barber used unusual force on his chin in applying the lather. He was seized with a fit of hic? coughs, which became so violent that ho was forced to leave the chair and go home. All the usual remedies were ap? plied, but with no effect. Physicians were summoned, but after applying all known remedies, they have been unable to check the attack. The man is lying on bis bed, a mere skeleton. He weighs but ninety pounds, and is awaiting deatb as a relief from his misery. The ease is one of grent interest and physicians are watching it with unusual attention. There seems to be no hope for Carbsrry and it appears that he will d je from h}pr coughs, - , Why the Dogs Follow Him. One of the strange and profitable "gifts," which seem peculiarly to be? long to Gypsies, is the power to entice dogs to follow them away in their master's presence. This power is also possessed by a queer old man who lives in one of the small towns subur? ban to Jersey City. For 15 years or more he, like the Gypsies, has put gift to practical and successful use, says the New York Sun. His house is situated about eight miles from the nearest ferry to New York, and every morning the old man rises at 5 o'clock, and if the weather is fine, starts on his long walk to the ferry. His journey lies through pretty residence villages and cottage cities inhabited mainly by well-to-do and often wealthy people. Many of these suburban residents have a fancy for the keeping of valuable dogs, but often they are unable to keep them permanently, owing to the doings of the aforesaid venerable Jersey man, who knows the Gypsy mystery. The secret of the old man's influ? ence over dogs he has confidentially imparted to a few chosen friends. It is the pampering of the canine appe? tite for the parings from a horse's hoof, that part which the horeshoer cuts away after burning the impres? sion of the shoe into the hoof. Duly equipped with a pocketful of his "dog coaxer," the old man strolls toward the river, keeping a sharp eye out for the people astir about the streets and houses. He knows the locality like a book, and the houses where they have a dog Worth his while. At ??me places, the servants have, as he puts it, a disagreeable habit of rising early, but they seldom interfere with his plans. Silently approaching the house he has selected, if the dog is in sight he gains its attention, and the animal dashing out at him, usually barking furiously, he tosses toward him a piece of his "coaxer." which is eager? ly snapped up. Almost at once the furious beast is transformed into a quiet, orderly dog, as docile as a lamb, and, leaping the fence, the animal whines and grovels at the old man's feet and rolls over and over on the ground. The effect of the "coaxer" upon a dog would appear to he something similar to that of cat? nip upon a oat. The old man humors the dog and lets him roll and cavort around for a while. Then he starts off, fully as? sured that the dog Will follow. Never once calling to the beast, the old man continues onward to the ferry with the dog at his heels. If the dog at any time shows a . ..uctance to follow, another piece of "coaxer" thrown to him dispels the hesitation, and in this manner they keep on until the ferry-house is reached. The old man, with the dog still fol? lowing, generally manages to board the boat at an hour when it h loaded with commuters. He now assumes propri? etorship of the animal, and often sells the dog before he reaches New York. If the dog is not sold on the boat, however, he takeB it to Wall street and disposes of it to some one among the brokers who make no searching in? quiries as to how the old fellow comes by the v?luable dogs which he offers for sale day after day. 3?he old ffl?n owns that he got the recipe for his coaxer" from a Gypsy, and he says he has never knoWn it to fail. He thinks that he runs no risk at all of legal penalties in his peculiar traffic. "You see," he says, "the dogs just simply follow me. I don't take them by force." The bid fellow, Wh? is el?se on to 70 years old, is well-preserved and hearty. He has a most accommodating moral code, one of his beliefs whioh nothing can shake being that he is not a dog stealer.

Madden, in World and Works.\ The Decline of Litigation. So forcibly has the American Law? yer referred to the radical changes in the practice of law, under the above caption in its NdVember is?ue, that we are induced to make the following extracts, which will be read by our patrons with> much interest: The practice of law has undergone a radical change within recent years. A generation ago, and less, a lawyer's standing at the bar and his ability as a practitioner, were gauged by the number of litigated cases in which he was retained as attorney of record. The respect in which he was held pro? fessionally, both by his fellow mem? bers of the bar and the general public, rested almost wholly upon his achieve? ment in safely conducting his clients through the courts. Successful litiga? tion was the only sure road to profes? sional distinction. Indeed, in those days, litigation formed the principal occupation of the lawyer. It was also the most lucrative. To-day, however, the reverse of all this is true. Litiga? tion has declined, and counsel work has become the leading feature of practice, fhe chief fuum of the law? yer has been transformed from the court house to the office. The revolution in thejnodeof trans? acting business, whereby great enter? prises in finance, commerce, transpor? tation, and manufacturing are con? ducted by combinations of men and money in what are termed syndicates, corporations, and trusts, instead of by individuals and partnerships as for? merly, has not only changed the char? acter of the occupation of the lawyer, but it has enlarged his jurisdiction and professional usefulness. In for? mer days he permitted himself to know nothing of business affairs ex dept as lie had to deal with them in the course of litigation. To-day he must keep abreast of the business and inventive world, for the principal de? mand for his guiding counsel comes therefrom, and he is called upon daily for the application thereto of legal principles rtnd methods; The orbit of the revolution in legal practice is com? pleted in the fact that now the work of the office and not the labor of the tri? bunal furnishes the profession's chief reven??. Fees of $500, $1,000 and $5,000, that thirty or forty years ago were the prequisites of eminence in trial practice alone, become almost trifling whert Compared with the re? compense now often given the practij tioner who achieves results without court proceedings. Litigation is a means, not an end. More than this, it is an agency which/ like the knife of the sdrgeon, should be the practitioner's last resort. The spirit of age which requires statesmen to avoid war and secure peace with honor, physicians to foresee the ap? proach of disease and to ward off its attacks, requires that our profession shall devote its wisdom to the preven? tion rather than to the carrying on of litigation. In this respect the leaders, and perhaps the great body of the pro? fession, are meeting a requirement of the timep. They will satisfy remain? ing requirements when they so sim? plify and read just legal procedure that litigation when resorted to shall not mean tedious delay, ruinous ex? pense, and uncertain results. The on.) form is already well advanced; the other cannot be long delayed. ? A few days ago Mr. Cole Nail was asked by a big farmer In this county to go out and buy his cotton, which he had not Bold for three years. Mr. Nail went out, weighed and "classified the cotton, which amounted to 314,000. Mr. Nail was about to write out a check for the amount when be said he would not ac? cept anything but ?"> gold pieces. Mr. Nail went to the New South Savings Bank and got 2,800 ?5 gold pieces and carried them to him, whereupon the farmer got out a jug and counted tbem into it for burial purposes.?Pike County (Ga.)

"Did it ever occur to you that when we dream our minds operate back? wards?" said a scientific man to the Pittsburg Dispatch. "I mean by this that the cause which gives the impres? sion to the sleeping mind that makes him begin to dream is always the cli? max of the vision. We can find many examples that will sustain his theory. Take, for instance, a man who falls out of bed. He dreams, perhaps, that he has fallen from a precipice. The cause of this dream is the shock he re? ceives by coming in contact with the floor. Between the time he receives the fall, and the moment he awakes? in this short period, almost infinitesi? mal?his mind fdolws out the impres? sion received by the fall, reasoning to it as a climax. Thus, when he comes to his senses he remembers having had the vision, and wonders w\y he should have fallen out of the bed just at the moment he ?houldhave reached the bottom of the abyss. It Would ho folly to think that he had been dream? ing of falling and then suited his ac? tions to the dream by doing so at ex exactly the same moment. I have had dreams, in which explosions oc? curred, and they were caused by the noise of a door being slammed. The noise s^und nave my mind the im? pression of an explosion, and so I rea? soned to it. 'The details have been so perfect and the series of incidents leading up to the explosion have seemed to take up such a great length of time that I have often wondered at the rapidity of thought while in sleep. In, a moment incidents -can be review? ed which it would take hours to act out. I know of a friend who fell asleep while looking at the "clock one afternoon and began a trip to New York in a dream. He remembered vividly the ride from his house to the depot; how he' w?s stopped by a friend who questioned him about im? portant business ; how he got on the train after hearing an altercation With the baggageman in regard to charges for overweight, all of which compelled him to run and catch the train ; how he sat in the parlor car and enjoyed the scenery, remembering all the sta? tions until he arrived at Greensburg, when a friend asked him to join a game of poker; how ho played each hand, the pleasant recoilection of several times holding four aces being plainly in his mind; how he continued playing without interruption except fdr dinner until he arrived at Phila; delphia, when he counted over some $400 in winnings. Then he remem? bered having met a friend while eat? ing in Broad street station, who talk? ed upon a leading topic in politics ; then he got on the train and began reading a magazine which he had pur? chased at the news stand, finally ar? riving at Jersey City. He had just got on the ferry boat when his wife came in and woke him. He rubbed his eyes, and thinking he had been asleep for some time, he looked up at the clock, nrhen he found that but three minutes had elapsed sinoe he fell asleep. In these three minutes he had made a journey to New York, seeing everything as vividly as if he had really taken the trip. I tell this j?3t to show the wonderful activity of the brain of a sleeping person and in support of of my thery that in a dream the mind reasons to the cause rather than from it." -? agi <r im - Michigan is said to produce more than one-half of all the oil of pepper? mint, spearmint and tansey used in the entire world.
