CHICAGO, February 15.-For months past
the gossips in the vicinity OF Archer avenue
and Halstead street have been busy with the
name Of DR.. G. EberliD, physician residing
at No. 2050 Archer avenue. His name has
been unpleasautly connected with that OF
Young married woman residing in the neigh
borhood. The doctor himself asserts that
there is nothing in the rumor, tsrther than
the fact that the lady mentioned bad been
deeply in love with him, calling frequently
at his Office to express her uHdying affection,
and even going so far az TO offer to embrace
him. The story told by the cigar manufac-
turer, the husband Of the lady alleged TO
have been beguiled by the Vaccinations of
the doctor, is pathetic one. 1t is the old,
old story OF happy home, con6diDg hus-
band a trusted male visitor at the house and
4 weak woman. The alleged wrongs Of the
husband, as recIted by himself, are as follows:
Ten years ago he met beautiful young girl of
eighteen and married her. For long time
the couple lived happily together, no cloud
arising to mar the serene calm of their mar
ried life. Four children blessed their union,
and it seemed as though nothing could ever
come between them, but in an evil hour the
family physician moved TO another city, and
a new doctor was introduced into the house
hold. This was about three years ago. The
physicians name was G. Eoerlin, and he had
Just gradu sted from Rush Medical College
and moved into the neighborhood. With
the natural desire of helping a struggling
young student to a practice, Eberlin was
brought into the house as the trusted physi-

The stsry OF how she went to DR.. -Eoerlin'
office one day for a consultation, how he hal

upon her to submit TO his desires, was mi
