erly bought and publicly praised before
they are even written, while clever
stories by unknown writer's go begging
for years after they are written. The
story Of David Harun was offered to
publisher after publisher, and its in
valid author never lived to see the
marvellous success it achieved when it
was finally offered to the public. Lor-
ma Doone was rejected right and left.
Eben Holden, another phenomenal
success, after being declined and de.
clined and declined, scored SO great
sale that its authors later stories were
eagerly bought before they were even
begun.
There is one publisher with whom
name and fame OF a writer count for
absolutely nothing, with whom merit
alone governs, with whom the unknown
has an equal chance with the we'll
known-and that is the publisher of
The Black Cat, who will pay over Ten
Thousand Dollars in prizes ranging
from 300 to s2, 100 for the best short
stories submitted before February 26,
1902. No story will, however, be con-
sidered unless sent according to tie
conditions printed in The Black Cat
or mailed free by The Short Story
Publishing Company, Baston, Mass.
The New York Press has well said:
No magazine has done so much for
lovers of really good short stories and
for American writer's.
From the outset, this marvel of the
magazine world has been conducted in
the common-sense belief that the art
OF story writing is not, in this age of
intelligence, confined to any section or
class, nor to be found in the possession
Of only favored few. Accordingly
neither name nor fame has ever count
ed any thing in the judging of stories
submitted for its consideration. Meth
er previous achievements in literature
nor notoriety acquired in some other
field can take the place Of merit in the
story to be passed upon.
On the contrary, hundreds of men
and women, before unknown, have,
through he Black Cat. found their
way into the ranks of the recognized
and well paid authors, and scarcely
any OF the army who have gained ad-
mission to its pages are personally
known to any one connected with it.
1t matters not whether writer is
known or unknown; if his work excels
he has an equal chance of success with
any and all.

Will you Tell 1t?

There is stored in the mind of every
reader Of this paper at least one story
worth telling, for no life is without
some experience, adventure, Or spice
of romance out of the ordinary every
day happening. And here is the chance
of getting $2,l00 for such story. Will
you tell it? While ever since the hu-
man tongue began to wag a clever
story has been keenly relished by all,
very few of the people who have some.
thing good to tell gain the public ear.
Why? Simply because the iron clad
partiality of publishers for great names
and literary regulations has closed the
doors to unknown writer's. 1t is mat
ter Of every day occurrence that pub
fishers strive to catch popular favor
by booming the fame of an author
rather than by standing squarely on
the merits of the authors writing.

Mr.. Palmer are at a loss as to the ulti-
mate cause of his death. as apparently
he had no organic troubles. Mrs. Pal
mer and their two sons. HonOre and
Potter, Jr.. were with Mr.. Palmer when
he died.
Potter Palmer was born in 1926, in
Potter's Hollow, Albany county. n. 7.
He received a common school education
and at the age Of l8 engaged as clerk
in a store at Durham, N Y, where he
remained three years When he became
of age he opened a store of his own at
Oneida, N. Y, and conducted it for two
years. He afterWard spent one year at
LockpOrt, n. Y, and then removed to
Chicago, where he established a dry
goods firm.
This firm afterward became Field
Palmer & Letter, of which the other
members We're Marshall Field and Levi
T. Letter, and which has been succeed
ed 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 large
SLOCh,duQ II GdpGQ gains from
every advance. Mr.. Palmer retired from
mercantile life in 1865. and SO liberal
had been his policy in meeting public
requirements during the war that the
government was indebted to him to the
extent of $3.50, 900. After disposng Of his
dry goods interests, Mr.. Palmer invest
ed largely IN Chicago real estate and
began the erection Of business buildings.
When the fire came n 1871. he owned
81 structures on State street, every one
of which was destroyed. His losses
were very heavy, but his faith in Chi
cago was unshaken and he borrowed
enough money to enable him to recon-
struct the buildings that had been de-
stroyed. He had already begun the
erection of the Palmer House hotel, and
as soon as possible after the FIRE, the
work on this building was resumed. 1t
was completed at a cost Of $4,000, 600, the
result being the handsomest and most
substantial hotel in the country at thai
time. His real estate holdings contin-
ued to increase in value until today his
fortune is estimated at $25 000 600. Mr..
Palmer was married in 1871 to Miss
Bertha N. Honore, daughter of H. H.
Honore, a Chicago specialist of that
day. In politics, Mr.Palmer was Dem
ocrat.
At the time of the Worlds fair IN
Chcigao Palmer gave 5000, 900 for the
women's building and his wife was the
head of the board of lady managers. She
became the leader of Chica go's social
life. and held a high place in that of
Newport as we'll. It was under her
tutelage that Miss Grant married a
Russian prince. She is as well known
abroad az she is here, and her influence
is potent in European capitals. A son,
Honore, is a member of the Chicago
I council Mr. Palmer was the least
conspicuous members Of the family.

may be duplicated in its dealings with
the Kansas City-Leavenworth electric
line, which is seeking an entrance on
this side of the river. The Leavenwortn

Queen WiIheImina Suffers a Sc
we're Set Back.

The Hague, May 5.-A bulletin issued
at Castle Loo this morning is as fol-
lows:
''As has been feared. the illness from
which Queen Wilhelmina is suffering,
put an end yesterday evening to the
hopes for a happy event, the realiza-
ton whereof was expected in September
next.
tAll things considered ker majesty's
condition is satisfactory at the present
moment"
1t was announced from Castle Loo at
midnight last night that Queen Will
helmina had been prematurely confin-
ed at 8 O'Clock Sunday evening. Profess

other doctors We're in attendance. The
queen suffered intense agony
At II o'clock Sunday evening the con-
dition of her majesty was described as
critical, and small hope for her recov-
cry was entertained.
a bulletin posted at Castle Loo at 2
p. m today announced that the cOndi-
ton of Queen Wilhelmina was satisfac-
tory up to the present tine.
The more reassuring tone of the Off
cial bulletin did little to allay the ap-
prehensions of the public regarding the
condition of the queen. The streets are
dotted with Respondent groups, anx-
iously discussing the exceedingly scant
information permitted to leak out. The
offices of the official newspapers were
besieged with inquiries and surrounded
by people awaiting bulletins. kilograms
of inquiry arrived from all parts of the
world. All the foreign diplomats either
personally called or sent their secre-
taries to make inquiries about her ma
jesty's health.
It transpires that the first disquieting
symptoms in the queens condition mani

An urgent summons was dispatched for ar
accOucheur, who remained at her ma jesty' S
bedside all night long and summonded DR..
Reosings and Prof KOnwer, the gynea-
cologist of Utrecht university, who arri-
ved at Castle Loo yesterday afternoon
The symptoms of complications became
more and more pronounced and the condi-
ton of the queen was considered extremely
grave. The queens mother and the prince
consort did not dare leave the bedside.
Toward nightfan the patient became worse
and suffered intense pain The most crit
ical time was reached between 1870 and
II p. M, and there was no relaxation to
the extreme suspense Of all present in the
sick room until the doctors about mid
night. were able to announce that the
accouchement was over.
This mornings statement that. IN spite
of her great pain. her majestys condition
was relatively satisfactory, considerably
lessened the anxiety of the queens rela-
tives and attendants
This feeling was increased by the de-
parture of Prof konWer from the castle
and the wording of the bulletin.

Mr. Rich speaks highly of Havana.
He says the city is fast becoming Amer

on all sides.
At present good beef sells for 50 cents
a pound and it costs three times as
much to live there as in America.
