MOTHER AND son.
Episode Of . Conyict's Temporary Re.
mOval From Sing Sing Prison.


An old. white-haired woman wandered
timidly about the corridors OF the Criminal
Courts Building the other day, anxiously
looking about, but venturing to AJAX no one
for information. District Attorneys Clerk
Henneberry watched her for some time and
then asked her II he could be Of assistance
to her.
20, dear" said she. Il am trying TO get
n glimpse OF my son whom haven't seen
in eight years and don't know where to
hook for him."
where do you you expect TO find him,'
asked Mr.. Hennebery.
Il don't just rightly know replied the
old woman. but he's to be witness In some
court. There are 80 many courts and they
all look 80 much alike that hardly know
where have BEEN
But don't you know the case he IL to
testify IMP" asked Mr.. Henneberry.
/ The old woman's eyes sank. Finally
she answered In low voice:
HE il to testify in the murder trial Of
| Duncan Young and he's been In Sing Sing
| prison for eight years. He has two more
years yet to serve and read in one OF the
papers that he was TO be here to-day
$50 thor ght that would come here and
maybe they would let me in the court roc m
so that | could see him even II from afar
while he was testifying. Or if they wouldn't
do that perhaps could see him as he was
being led across the corridor on his way
to the court room from the Tombs
sHe was convicted Of burglary but I'm
sure he was led away. He was a good boy.
Eight years Is such long time and when
he gets out l may not be alive. I'm an old
woman and l haven't been feeling very
strong of late"
Mr.. Henneberry took her to his Office
and made her comfortable while he set about
| to locate her son. He soon found that the
man would not leave the Tombs at all that
day. but would testify the next.
He made out pass to the Tombs and cent
for Tolnbs keeper to whose care he en-
trusted the old woman He said nothing
to her "a TO his intentions, but told her to
follow the officer.
The officer took her over the Bridge Of Signs
and into the new prison. She was trembling
As she was led along the row Of cells for she
began to get glimmering Of where she
was going and to understand that she was
not only to Sec her son, but also TO talk to
him again.
These poor old bent mot theirs, they haunt
these courts and are heartbroken over their
erring sons" said Mr.. Henneberry, after
the old woman had gone away. Il think

rolLERs TURN TO VEGETABLES.
High Beef Prices Force Working Peo-
pIe to Seek Other Foods.


Chicago. May 5.-The present high
prices of beef have caused thousands
of working men and women in Chicago
who have been accustomed to eating it
to turn about for foods which furnish
the same amount of nutrition and will
be better suited to the limitations Of
the purse. Many families have already
turned to strictly vegetable or cereal
diet, and have found no difficulty in OBJ
tanning the proper amount of nourish-
ment to supply them with energy for
their daily labors.
Another phase Of the situation is
presented in the down town department
stores. where hundreds of women and
girls are threatening to Join the ranks
of the vegetarians because the price Of
meat is beyond the reach of their
purses. They even talk of organizing
against the packers. SO strong is the
feeling that they are being imposed
upon. They have been compelled to
forego meat, and have found it not such
a hardship as was first imagined.
Scientists say that from 5000 to $500
calories or heat units, are necessary to
furnish the average laboring man with
proper nourishment, and that from o.
400 to 1900 calories are required for
working women. An analysis Of
number of foods, other than meats,
show that man can obtain the required
substances of nutrition without eating
meat, and at remarkably lower cost.

POTTER PALMER DEAD
Noted Chicago Millionaire Dies Very
suddenly-Exact Cause of Death Not
Known.

Chicago, May 5.-Potter Palmer, for
most prominent, business men, died
lost night at his residence on the lake
shore drive The exact cause of Mr.
P4irners death has not yet bsen deter.
mined. He has been suffering for sew
eral weeks from nervous disorder but
as he was able to be about the house
his condition was not thought to be
serious. When he retired Saturday
night he was feeling, If anything, bet
ter than for several days.
Mrs. Palmer and their two sons,
Honore and Potter, Jr, were with Mr..
Palmer when he died.
TPotter Palmer was born in 1876 IN
Potter's Hollow, Albany county, N. Y.
He received common school edu-
cation and at the age of 1S engaged as
a clerk in a store at Durham, N. Y.
where he remained three years. When
he became Of age he opened store
Of his own at Oneida, N. Y, and con-
Quoted it for two years. He afterwards
spent one year at Lockport, N. y, ana
then removed 20 Chicago, where he
established dry goods firm.
When the fire came In 1871 he owned
thirty-two structures on State street,
every one of which was destroyed. His
losses were very heavy, but his faith
in Chicago was mistaken, and he bor-
rowed money enough to enable him
to reconstruct the buildings that had
been destroyed. He had already begun
the erection of the Palmer House no.
tel, and as soon as possible after the
fire the work on this building was re-
sumed. 1t was completed at cost Of
$2O00,O0O, the result being the hand
soonest and most substantial hotel in
the country at that time. His real
estate hu,I,iT.cs continued to increase
in value until today his fortune is
estimated at $25,O00,O00. Mr.. Palmer
was married in 1871 to Miss Bertha
NJ. Honore, daughter Of w. II. Honore,
Chicago capitalist of that day. In
politics Mr.. Palmer was democrat.
