CHICAGO, May 5.-Potter Palmer,
for nearly half century one of Chica-
go's most prominent business men, is
dead at lis res. lence on Lake Shore
drive.
The exact cause of Mr., Falmer's
death has not yet'been determined He.
had been suffering for several weeks
with a 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 feel
ing if anything better than for several
days. During the night, however. he
seemed to lose all his energy and in the
morning WAS unable to leave his room.
He gradually grew weaker during the
day, and last evening he suffered
sudden collapse, from which he ex-
pired.
The physicians who were attending
Mr. Palmer are at a loss as to the ulu-
mate cause of his death. Apparently
he had not organic troubles. Mrs.
Palmer and their two sons, Honore and
Potter Junior, were with Mr. Palmer
when he died.
Potter Palmer was born in 1926 in
Potters Hollow, Albany county, n. Y.
He received common school educa-
ton and at the age Of eighteen engaged

cd it for two years. He afterward
spent one year at Lockport, n. Y, aud

tabIishcd a dry goods firm. This firm
artcrward became Field, Palmer "
Letter. of which the other members
were Marshall Field and Levi Il. Letter
and which has been succeeded by the
firm of Marshall Field & Co. The sharp
advance in the price Of goods after the
beginning of the civil war found the
firm prepared with a large stock, and it
reapcd immense gains from every ad-
vance.
Mr.. Palmer retired from mercantile
life in 1863. and 90 liberal had been his
policy In meeting public requirements
during the war that the government
was indebted to him to the extent Of
