LEARNING HOW TO FLY
Another Brazilian Makes a Sue
CeSSful Experiment With
an Airship.

Paris. May Ain spite Of the threat
enlag weather AUgUsto Zetero, the
Brazilian aeronaUt. made a successful
first trial with his airship al Waugh
Tard Aerostatic park today. Senior
Zevero's aiTship is called La PAX.
The balloon, held by a rope, ascend
ed forty metres. The motors were
then started. The balloon obeyed the
impulse Of its propellers, steering cas-
ily and maintaining perfect eduiib-
rum. After maneuvering for a short
time, Senior Zevero returned the air
ship to the shed. The few persons
who were present at the park enthu-
siastically applauded Senior Zevero and
the two assistants who accompanied
him in the ascent.
La Paix is not unlike Santos-Du-
mont's airships in appearance, but it
differs from them in many details.
The gas capacity of La Paix is near
~ four times that of Santos DumOnts
airships. 1t has three main prOpellers
and two smaller ones used for steering
and in ascending and descending. The
two petroleum motors Of La Paix are
of twenty-four and sixteen horse
power, respectively.

CHICAGO, May 4.-Potter Palmer,
| for nearly half century one Of
Chicagos most prominent bust
ness men, died tonight at his residence
on Lake Shore drive. The exact cause
Of Mr.. Palmer's death has not yet been
determined. He had been suffering for
several weeks from a nervous disorder.
but as he was able to be about the
house, his condition was not thought
to be serious.
When he retired last night he was
feeling, If anything, better than for
several days. During the night, how
ever, he seemed to lose all his energy,
and this morning was unable to leave
his room. He gradually grew weaker
during the day, and at $40 o'clock
this evening he suffered a sudden col
lapse. from which he expired.
The physicians who were attending
Mr.. Palmer are at a loss as to the
ultimate cause Of his death as appar-
emily he had no organic troubles. Mrs.
Palmer and their two sons, Honore
and Potter jr., were with Mr. Palmer
when he died. No arrangements have
yet been made for the funeral. but in
all probability ne will be buried in
Chicago, where he accumulated his
fortune.

This afternoon Mrs. Palmer noticed
symptoms of sinking in MI. Palmer

Mr. Marquis made a vain effort to

patient by administering oxygen, but
it was without avail. He could only

in the room then until $40 O'Clock,
when the physician raised his hand and
it was known that death had come.
Just after NJ. Palmer's death, DR..
Favill arrived at the residence. After
a brief conference with Mr.. Marquis

London. May 4.-King Edward, dur

work had been executed.
Arrangements are pending by which

essential that the party and the guests

the pangs of hunger and exhaustion

The peeresses are in consterna ton.
According to the present arrangements.
the latest hour at which they will be
admitted to Westminster Abbey on cor

they are advised to be present at 8

in order to adjust their robes and pre-

ney Of New York, that the present
charter, obtained by the general feder-
alton under the laws of New Jersey
thirteen years ago, was secured under
the act providing for charity and phil
anthropy, instead Of clubs and So
cieties. So that the general federation
is. by mistake, acting under a charter
which privileges them only to look aft
