Wyoming avenue. His widow and the
following family survive him. Thomas,

of Fleetville; Mrs. Besise C. Niece. Of
New York; and Mrs. Reynolds, of this
city. His death removes a man of re-
finement and education, and one who
possessed noble qualities of mind and
heart.

WAY TO TRAIN ANIMALS.
Professor Norris Gives the Method
That lie Pursucs.


The men who by some peculiar git
obtain such control over the lower ami
mails as to make them obey their slight
est wish, and who successfully train them
to perform the wonderful feats shown
in the ring or upon the stage, are COM
paratively few, and interest and curl
osity regarding them Is always great.
One of these men. who has been uni
formly successful in training animals. IL
Professor Norris. who is now in the city
with his troupe of 100 performing Shct-
land ponies and dogs. He is Il young
man. only 80 years of age. quite modest
and unassuming in manner and quite
unlike the typical Snowman.
The marvellous power which he eX-
ercises over his four footed stars has
| been attributed to mesmerism, hypnO-
| tism and like occult sciences, but he
answers the question in one word
| kindness. Treat them with kindness,
and you will find them always ready
and willing to learn how to please you
in return" says he. "A kindly-treated
animal is always more tractable than
one that is governed by fear Of punish
ment." Professor Norris gave his first
/ public exhibition twelve years ago, with
a single dog, small skye terrier, which
he had taught repertoire of fifty-six
tricks.
The exhibitions will be continued for
| the balance of the week at Adams ave-
nue. and Mulberry street. Matinee this
afternoon. Last night the tent was
| crowded.
