and he accumulated a fortune of $25,-
100000. His pride in Chicago was mani
tested by his activities in it's behalf. He
was largely instrumental in bringing
the Worlds Fair to that city and con-
tributed 100000 to the Woman's
Building. doubtless because his wife
had been made president of the Board
of Lady Managers.
Mrs. Palmer was Miss Bertha Hon
ore, daughter of Henry H. Honore, of
Chicago, one of two sisters whose beau
ty and talent made them famous. A
woman of superior intellectually, YER
satile talents and generous culture,
filled with ambition and energy, she
was the constant counselor Of her hus-
band. and her encouragement from the
time Of their marriage in 1870 spurred
him on to new endeavors. 1t was she
who urged him to rebuild after the fire,
and, perhaps. but for her, Chicago
would have lost the enthusiasm and
generous expenditures Of money on his
part which did so much for it's resur-
rection after the disaster of 1871.

Horned Horses.

Professor Woodward, of the Natural
History Museum, of South Kensington,
London, who has been engaged for
some time past in excavating at Piker-
mi, near Marathon, has recently CON-
pleted his work. One of the most val
liable discoveries is a collection of
heads of horned horses. They were un-
earthed at Euborea, where the profess
sor carried on some experimental ex-
cavatiors for archaeological remains.
In addition to the heads Of the horned
horses, the heads and shin bones of
rhinoceri and other prehistoric animals
were discovered. It is curious that out
of the six places in the world where the
remains of the horned horse have been
found three are in Greece and fourth
in Samos, in the Greek Archipelago.

was not the slightest doubt as to the

But, to the establishment of every one

asserted that he never stole the wheel

him what he had to say why he should
not be sent to Jail for a short time.

THE LATE POTTER PALMER.
Pioneer Merchant and One of the
Builders of Chicago.

Pioneer Merchant and One of the
Builders of Chicago.
Potter Palmer. one of the men who
made Chicago the metropolis Of the
West, and for years conspicuous fig
ure in it's financial and social circles,
died at his fine residence on the elegant
Lake Shore Drive in that city recently.
For some weeks he had suffered from
a stomach ailment, out of which grew
a nervous disorder and ultimately heart
failure, the latter being the immediate
cause Of death.
Potter Palmer was born in Potter's
Hollow, Albany County, n. Y, in 1926,
Of Quaker farmer parentage. At IS he
became clerk in country store in
Greene, N. Y. Soon thereafter he start
ed a store Of his own in Oneida and
later at Lockport. While visiting Chi
cago in 1851, when that city had 10000
inha bitants, he saw in it a place of
promise. He sold his Lockport stock
and with $4,000 capital opened a store
in Chicago. He introduced novel ideas
in the dry goods trade, such as the ex-
change of unsuitable goods, personal
talks with his customers, ETC., and the
result was instant success for the new
merchant. His first years sales amount
ed to $4,000. Then came the Civil
War, and Palmer foreseeing what
shortage there would be in cotton, and
what consequent rise in it's value, as
we'll as in that Of wooden goods, spent
every dollar he had on those products
and filed several warehouses. In less
than four years he had made over
$2,50O,O0O. Marshall Field and Levi
Letter became his partners during this
time and laid the foundations of their
great waltz. When the war was pro-
crossing Palmer loaned large sums, as
high as $4,000 at one time, to the gov
eminent.
In 1867 Palmer retired from the dry
goods trade and took up real estate
transactions. He determined to make
State street, then little more than a
wide alley, the principal thoroughfare
of Chicago. Within six months lie had
bought three-quarters Of a mile of
frontage ON that street. He succeeded
in having it widened. When the great
fire came in 1871 Mr.. Palmer had nine
ty-five fine buildings in the city, includ-
ing the Palmer House. All were de-
str0yed in that conflagration. This was

Cameo JeWelry.

There is revival of interest in old
fashioned cameo jewelry this year. One
of the large manufacturing jewelry
houses in New York says that it has
done more work altering and restoring
old cameo jewelry this winter than it has
for twenty years.
