SHE CAUSES A PANIC
Mrs. Potter Palmer Takes Hold OF
Her Husbands Business Affairs.

Since her return from Newport last
autumn, says the Chicago Dispatch,
Mrs. Potter Palmer has been in active
control of her husbands vast business
enterprises and his millions of real
estate investments. Potter Palmer lie
now past 20 years of age, and is not the
active business man he was. Mrs. Pal
mer's time not taken up in social af-
fairs is given up entirely to her hus-
bands interests.
On Friday she caused suit for $780,
OOO,. in her own and her husbands
name, to be instituted against the
Union loop for damages to the Wabash
avenue frontage of the Palmer house.
She caused small panic in the hotel
of fare in the three restaurants and
dining room, and, after close inspec-
ton, marked up the prices from 25 to
100 per cent. She inspected apart
ments and parlors and marked up the
prices Of rooms 25 per cent. The wine
cards and buffet products did not es-
cape her scheme of elevation.
AS the Palmer house takes care of
2,CO0 persons daily in its restaurant
and dining rooms, there are strong and
vigorous protests over the ''raise.' It
Is admitted that the hotel has been the
best money maker in Chicago for
years, due principally to first-class &C.
commod ations at popular prices.
This is the second raise made by
Mrs. Palmer in six months. She has
gone personally and inspected the 100
dwelling houses which she and her
husband own, and has ordered rents
raised 20 per cent. Mrs. Palmer is
clearing the atmosphere before she
goes to Paris. She will sail in two
weeks and has made arrangements to
be in close touch with her great estate
while abroad.

WONDERS OF CORNSTALKS.
Discarded Barnyard Truck Now An
Important Article.

At Linden, Ind, the third cellulose
plant in the United States, the first In
Indiana and the second largest in the
world, is being completed this spring.
1t will be put into operation within
sixty days. Over 100000 has been ex-
pended in the mechanical equipment.
When in full operation the plant will
employ 100 men. Indian corn pitb, for
ages considered worthless, will then be
put on the market as q protection for
battleships of all nations, as smokeless
powder, dynamite and other high ex-
plosives, as fine art paper, as varnish,
kodak films, carbox packing filler,
elk, patent leather finish, face powder,
silicate packing and in a hundred
more ssvaried and novel forms of which
the farmer, who has bsen throwing
stalks away as waste, never dreamed.
The outer lining-that part which
tncloses the pith-will be made into
-four as an adulterant, as cattle feed,
Part of it will be made up into candy,
some of it into colorlng dyes, and still
other elements of it will become a part
of far more novel processes. 1t will
add thousands of dollars to the crop
receipts of Indiana farmers, will con-
sumo only tn at which has been waste,

and West Point, Va. A fourth will be
erected this year at Peoria, Ill. Those
who fight trusts m ay find some extenuat-
ing features in this one, which has
discovered that 160, 600, 600 tons of
cornstelks have annually been going to
waste and which undertakes to rescue
this waste, make the stalks worth 50 q
ton and thus in the next twenty years
increase the income OF farms $36 900,
900, by producing cellulose, dynamite,
glue ardborad. paper and hundred
other marketable products.
The annual average corn area OF the
United States ia not far from 80, 600 900
acres. Each acre yieldson an average
of shout 4 900 pounds of cornstalks, or
total of 100000 tons. OF this
weight 50 per cent, or JIG, 600 600 tons,
has value as feeds but not over 10 per
cent of It Is actually fed. The 9th ar ID
per cent of the total weight, or "a 600.
900 tons, is the pith ofthe stalks, which
has been a total waste or even worse.
The Marsden patents cover a process OF
separating the pith from the stalk,
which makes 1t possible for them to
pay SO a ton for the stalk and produce
a raw material which Is worth lie
nound. or $40 q ton. It is figured
tina. If every ton of stalks in the U nit
ed States could be 80 handled it would
increase the value of each corn crop
$3.50. OOO,O 900. The Marsden Com pany
expects to see the time when these
conditions will exist.

ODD "OOM PAUL."
Some Anecdotes OF the President
OF the Beers.

A London correspondent reports thai
one Boer, who for many years has
lived in a close intimacy with Kruger,
says: 81 never met q harder worker
in my life. l think If Kruger retired
into private life it would kill him at
once, just owing to the shock of a
change from intense activity. Work
is life to him.
rs Kruger robust in health ?" l
asked, for it seems to everybody that
since Joubert and Cronje have disap-
peared the Boer presidents life has
assumed a double Importance.
''He is perfectly well,' he replied,
''but he has one trouble, that is infia-
nation of the eyes, arising from excess
sive smoking. No one can stop him.
He smokes, smokes and thinks, thinks
liar thing about Kruger, his fear of his
wife. Kruger is very careless in mat
ter OF dress and Mrs. Kruger is always
trying to make him wear two shirts
during the day, a condition of things
necessary If you want to look clean, be-
cause of the ever present red dust.
Nevertheless Kruger is always trying
to invent q means of evading his wife's
persistence in the matter of that
Shirt
"Does Mrs. Kruger smoke?
emo, but she takes snuff So now
and again to get level with her as to
the shirts, when che is not looking he
just slips her snuffboX into his pocket
and then watches her with an amused
look as she Is hunting all over the
place for it.
Then when he thinks the fun has
gone far enough he lays the box on his
table and quietly tells his wife she is
getting old and can't see as we'll as
himself, for it has been there all the
time.
"When Kruger wants to punish peo-
pie he has way of pinching them,
using only four fingers of the right
hand, but these fingers are specially
strong. He invites the offender to sit
next to him and then grips the flesh of
the leg between two of his fingers and
twists it until the person turns blue
and green. BE was particularly irate
en- his horses. What made you steal
my horses?' he asked angrily The
leader of the gang replied: Because
they were very bad, and we thought
we would give your honor the oppor-
tunity to replace them with better
Ones"
Kruger was very angry and pinched
very hard one after the other till they
turned all kinds of colors. But Kruger
without doubt is very brave man, as
was shown for instance one day when
he was out shooting. The gun burst at
the lock and half blew off his thumb.
Instead of complaining or showing any
symptoms of pain he merely pulled out
his hunting knife and chopped the
thumb off entirely and threw it away
as fact as he could.

going the rounds. 1t was started by
T. P. O'Connor in the clever little
weekly. Mainly About People. It
