Mrs. Potter Palmer.

Since her return from Newport last
autumn Mrs. Potter Palmer has been
in active control of her husbands vast
business enterprises and his millions
of real estate investments. Potter
Palmer is now past 20 years of age and
is not the active business man he was
Mrs. Palmer's time not taken up in So
clal affairs is given up entirely to her
husbands interests.
On Friday she caused suit for $780,
900 in her own and her husbands S
name to be instituted against the I'm
ion Loop fer damages to the Wabash
avenue frontage of the Palmer House
She caused small panic in the hotel
by sending for the bills of fare in the
three restaurants and dining room,
and. after close inspection, marked up
the prices from 25 to 100 per cent. She
inspected apartments and parlors and
marked up the prices of rooms 25 per
cent. The wine cards and buffet pro-
ducts did not escape her scheme of ell
ovation.
AS the Palmer House takes care of
1000 persons daily in its restaurant
and dining rooms there are strong and
vigorous protests over the raise.
1t is admitted that the hotel has been
the best money maker in Chicago for
years, due principally to first-class ac-
commodations 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 ordered the 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.-Chicago Spe New York

A Famous Horse.

1t has been suggested that many
man dies withiut making half as much
commotion by the act as though he
were horse or dog with a reputa-
tion. Probably the finish of the rare
old race horse Maud S. will excite
more comment than when a general
dies. But why not? Maud S. was
widely known. 1t is not because a
greater value is set upon horsefesh
than upon human kind, but Maud S.
had accomplished some rare feats in
lowering the records of fast horses and
in that manner became a part of cur
rent history.
Nor can the achiement OF the race
horse be dismissed idly. The horse
has played part in the advancement
Of human civilization since the early
Egyptian dynasties and nobody knows
how much longer. Few influences have
been more powerful or valuable. Maud
s. was race horse, but the race horse
is merely another term for those fine
ly-bred creatures that have made the
American read horse the best in the
world, surprising in speed and endur-
ance the famous ancestors, the Arab
ian horses that have been so conspic-
uous in song and story. The American
road horse is the highest development
of the horse in the world Slighter in
sinews than his heavy dray kinsman,
he combines sufficient strength and
agility TO be serviceable on country
roads where country roads are the
longest known among civilized ma
tions. Maud S. made her name as a
track horse, but she stands for what
is far more valuable, the gradual at
tainment of perfection in the road
horse-the ideal brute servant of the
human race.-Pittsburg Times.

A Superb Leader.

John Philip Sousa is natural actor
as well as a splendid musician. 1t does
one almost as much good to see him
direct his band as it does to hear the
music. The audience last night laugh
ed, applauded and shouted at his ges-
lures and movements in the ragtime
encores. 1t would be almost impossi-
BILE for one man with his back to an
audience and without in the least ov-
erdoing, to picture a cakewalk more
perfectly. Every motion of his hands
and arms-some OF them almost inn
perceptible; every inclination of his
head, every pose of his body was the
acme OF Delsartean expression. .Sousa
is the king of all bandmasters, without
doubt the most widely known and the
most idolized leader the world has ev-
er known, and this is due not only to
the popular character OF his music but
10 his own delightful personality. No
bandmaster was ever so gracious, SO
graceful. so fascinating, so close to the
great heart Of humanity as Sousa.--

Angry Because His Tax Was
Reduced.

The clerks in the Department of
Taxes and assessments in Borough
Hall, Long Island City. were waiting
for the clock to strike IL yesterday so
they could go home, when modest ap-
pearing man entered and stated that
he wanted to object to his assessment
The clerks gave him cold welcome.
The visitor, however, was persistent
What is the matter with your as
sessment?" asked one of the clerks.
Its not high enough" calmly re-
piled the man.
Great Scott" yelled the clerks in
chorus.
The man said he was John G. Schep-
per, of Newtown, and that he owend a
house and lot en- Grand street, on
which the assessment had been re-
duced, and he wanted it raised again.
II was always assessed 5000 more
than my leighbor, Samuel Powell"
said Mr.. Schepper, "and l do not see
why the assessors cut my vaulation
down this year and raised his"
He explained further that he did not
believe at being assessed at cent
less than his property was actually
worth, and that his conscience would
not be easy unless the mistake was
corrected.
1t was decided that the only thing
that could be done was for Mr.. Schep-
per to put his objection in writing and
file them. He said that he would have
the document prepared and filed in the
Office first thing tomorrow morning
Mr.. Schepper was formerly a Justice
of the Peace in the old town of New
town,-New York Journal.

Divorced Wife Gives the Bride
Away To Her Ex-Husband.

Indian weddings have not been un-
usual at Oacoma, town situated near
the lower Brule Indian reservation,
ever since the town was established,
Immediately after the opening to set
tlement of portion of the great Sioux
reservation OF late, however, the red
people have been patronizing the Di-
vorce Court to an extent calculated to
make the white misfits green with en-
Wy.
Friday broke the record at Oacoma
for Indian weddings, and also added a
new feature to the Indian divorce bus
mess. The Congregational minister
was called upon to perform the mar
riage ceremony for Charley Long
both full-blooded Souix. Next came
Antoin Recounter, half-breed, who
desired to be united until death or the
Divorce Court parted them to Miss
Nellie Small-Waisted Bear, full
blooded Souix maiden.
The climax was reached when Char
ley De Sheuquette and Helois Felicia
presented themselves as candidates at
the altar of Hymen. Both are half
breds and good looking Indians. Ac-
companying these two was rather
nice looking squaw, Fannie Philbrlck
by name, who had about her an air of
distinction. She appeared to be the
happiest member of the party. Miss
Philbrick insisted upon being a wit
ness in procuring the license. She al
so claimed the right to give the blush
ing bride away. All of these re-
quests the grateful bridal party grace
fully granted.
After the ceremony Miss Phllbrick
kissed both bride and groom in tru-
ly down East" manner, and congrat-
ulated them in the warmest possible
way Only the clerk of the courts
knew the full history of the case, which
he told by simply turning to the last
case entered on the decree docket. 1t

Decree of absolute divorce. Fan
ny Philbrick De Sheuquette from

Hon. Andrew H. Dahl expresses a
willingness to serve another term in the

serving of denomination if steadfast-
ness to tine peoples interests count for
anything No county in the state had a

Vernon had at the last session. His

ROGERS TALKS POLITICS.

The La Crosse Chronicle of last Friday
quotes General Rogers in an interview
as follows:
General Earl Rogers of Viroqua. was
in the city for short time yesterday on
his way home from the Crawford county
convention. While he is republican
candidate for governor. he says Bradford
is strong in the northern and western
parts of the state. He spoke very high.
ly of the gentleman from Augusta and
said he would make good showing at
the state convention.
In regard to his own chances. the gen
eral had but little to say, although he
said the Third congressional district
would give him solid vote.

"A few months ago, a young man
from near Ontario went to Sparta to
consult a physician He had been suf-
fering for some time with what the doc
tors thought was stomach trouble, and
was failing right along; he had lost his
appetite and could eat nothing without
suffering great pain. When he got to
Sparta, DR. McElwee the specialist who
is at Viroqua Hotel every mouth) was
recommended to him as physician who
was very successful in all diseases of a
chronic nature. After a careful ext a.
nation, the doctor told him that he
could be cured; that nothing allied his
stomach, that his whole trouble was in
the brain and spine-a purely nervous
disease. The result has been all that
the doctor promised. In less than three
months the young man was restored to
perfect health. 1t is cases like this that
