nephew and heir to her husbands throne
came to this country for long tour he
had to visit Mrs. Palmer
The, heir to throne stayed in Mrs
Palmer's villa for a week, and the whole
gayeties of Newport centered about him,
1t appears that while Mrs. Palmer was
visiting the Belgium court the prince had
jckingly told her that he would some day
come to America in search of rich
and beautiful American wife. Mrs. Pal
mer told him that she would gather the
richest and most beautiful girls In
America together for his benefit.
This was what actually happened at
a reception at Friedheim. Of all the girls
there none was more beautiful than Miss
Julia Dent Grant, niece of Mrs. Palmer
A second time fortune favored Mrs.
Palmer's social plans in an extraordinary
way. Soon after Prince Albert went away
there came to Newport his royal highness
the Count of Turin, nephew of the king
of Italy. Only one brother and one cousin
stand between him and the throne and
neither of these has any children.
When Mrs. Palmer was abroad she had
also made the friendship of Queen Mar
gherita of Italy Therefore the queen s
nephew had to pay his respects to her.
Mrs. Palmer was formerly Miss Bertha
Honors, of Louisville, KY. Her family
was of high social standing in that city,
and was of French Creole descent. Mrs.
Frederick D. Grant is her sister. She mar
ried Potter Palmer in 1871.
Mrs. Palmer showed her great ability
in helping her husband after his great
losses by the Chicago fire. When that con-
f1agration began he had a rent roll of
100000 a year. When 1t was over he
owed $4,000 more than he could pay for
taxes. BY her personal efforts Mrs. Pal
mer succeeded in mortgaging much of the
ash-covcred real estate and otherwise
helped her husband to regain his feet.
Mr. Palmer is now worth over 0,000,-
00O He is an excellent example of the
breezy, Industrious, unaffected Western
American. At Newport he is not ashamed
to do his own marketing, although he has
thirty servants in his house.
The Palmers now have an enormous
house in the Elizabethan style on the
| Lake Shore drive at Chicago.
When Mrs. Palmer went abroad in the
interests of the Chicago Worlds Fair she
achieved astonishing success. She gained
the assistance of the pope, the king Of
Italy, the kinw of the Belgians, the Prince
! of Wales, and all the most conspicuous
personages among Europe's royalty.
At Chicago, she entertained the Infanta
Eulalia, who, however, caused her some
pain by disappearing suddenly and mys-
teriously from reception given in her
| honor before she had an opportunity to
meet her hostess.
At that time no one in New York So
ciety ever dreamed that Mrs. Palmer
! would dare to attack the intrenchments of
! the four hundred. She was regarded as an
enterprising Western woman, with assur-
| ance enough to make her way into the
| presence of European sovereigns, but not
i to attempt to enter the highest society OF
] New York and Newport. This view was
vastly mistaken, ~ events have proved.

be in it are due to wealth or official posi-
ton or public service.
They do not understand that we have
our aristocracy just as they have: that
it is the fashionable society of New York
and Newport, an6; that everybody else is
nobody, socially speaking.
The lofty social pinnacle which Mrs.
Palmer has now reached was gained not
without hard fighting and many rebuffS.
Three years ago she made her appear
ance in Newport for the first time and
rented very small cottage called Ar
leigh, on Bellevue avenue two blocks be-
low the Ocean house Her niece, Miss
Julia Dent Grant, stayed with her to as
sist her in entertaining.
1t was q cold season for Mrs. Palmer.
She was invited to few largo entertain
ments because she had brought letters of
introduction to the givers, and they felt
obliged to do something. Nevertheless
she remained virtually out of the
charmed circle.
The experience would have discouraged
anybody with less courage and good
spirits than Mrs. Palmer. But 1t only
spurred her on to the fight. The follow
ing year she rented Arleigh again. She
was again out of 1t socially, but she was
at least successful In arousing some Curl
csity.
One heard scraps of conversation like
this in exclusive Newport cottages:
WHO Is this Mrs. Potter Palmer?"
81 think her husband keeps some sort
of a hotel in Chicago
''Oh, no; she used to sell things at the
Chicago Exposition.
The same year Mr.. Potter Palmer an
nounced that he was going to build the
largest house in Newport. This was Mrs.
Palmer's reply to the efforts to ignore her.
The plan to build this house was not car
ried out, but it may yet be. Instead, Mr..
and Mrs. Palmer rented Friedheim for the
season of 1893 This is the property of
Mrs. Theodore A. Havemeyer, and Is one
of the most beautiful houses in Newport.
With the opening of her new house
came splendid opportunity for Mrs.
Palmer. The young Prince Albert Of
Belgium visited this country. When Mrs
Palmer went abroad as president of the
Board of Lady Managers Of the Chicago
Exposition she made an astonishing num-
Der of friendships among the crowned
heads of Europe.
One of these friends was Queen Louise
of Belgium. Therefore, when the queen s

and the absorption of large amount

Of the firm Of Flower & Co. that Mr..

effect. That firm, moreover, was a pur-
chaser for clients on q large line of stock
on the decline. London sold some 10000
shares at the opening, and later was a
small purchaser. Two large firms col
lectively purchased about 5000 shares
and many other large concerns absorbed
stocks, the principal sufferers seemingly
being those who held stocks on margin.

The dealings Of the day aggregated

After the first fifteen minutes compare

The engagement of Miss Julia Grant
and Prince Cantacuzene is an event of
international interest, and another bril-
liant achievement in the ambitious social
career of Mrs. Potter Palmer, of Chi
cago.
Everybody has heard of Miss Julia
Dent Grant, granddaughter of President
Grant. Less is known about Prince Can
tacuzene.
He is descendant from a family of
Roumanian boyars, or mobiles, and has
the title of prince in Russia. The family
also claims descent from Cantacuzene,
who was emperor of Byzantium in 1877
The CantacuZenes are very rich, and
have many representatives in the Rus
sian public service. The father of the
young prince who is engaged to Miss
Grant was minister to Washington a
few years ago.
Mrs. Potter Palmer, who is an aunt of
Miss Grant, arranged the match. 1t Is
regarded as the latest of her triumphs.

social attitude by snubbing a real prin-

Occasionally the mere mischief-maker

and to the ruin of evil intention. This
win probably be true Of Senator
Pettigrew's resolution for an inves-
tigation of the troubles in the Occur
d Alene district. What Pettigrew
means Ia to make capital for himself
and to cast q slur upon an administra-
ton that he hates with all the viru-
lence OF the political renegade. But as
1t is not possible that any investigation
should fail to disclose the constitutional
necessity and the practical propriety Of
the course followed by the government,
It will tend to remove any lingering
prejudice existing in the minds Of the
