WAS SUMMONED SUDDENLY.
Death Of Potter Palmer. Ono Of Chlcs90'D
1llliopsires. When Thought -
BE R0cOyefiuR.

Chicago. May 5.-Potter Palmer, for
nearly half a century one Of Chica-
go's most prominent business men.
died last night at his residence ON
Lake Shore drive. The exact cause
of Mr.. Palmer's death has not yet
been determined. He had been suf-
fering for several weeks from q nerv-
GUS disorder, but as he was able to
be about the house his condition was
not thought to be serious. When he
returned Saturday night he was feel
ing, if anything. better than for sev-
eral days. During the night, how
ever, he seemed to lose oil his energy,
and yesterday morning was unable to
leave his room. He gradually grew
weaker during the day, and at $40
o'clock last evening he suffered sud-
den collapse from which he expired.
The physicians who were attending
Mr.. Palmer are at q loss as to the
ultimate cause of his death, as ap-
parently he had no organic troubles.
Mrs. Palmer and their two sons.
Honore and Potter, Jr., were with Mr..
Palmer when he died. No arrange
ments have yet been made for the
funeral, but in all probability he will
be buried in Chicago, where he &C.
cumulated his fortune.
Potter Palmer was born in 1926 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 store at Durham, n. V,
where he remained three years. When
he became of age he opened a store
of his own at Oneida. n. Y, and con.
Quoted it for two years. He after
ward spent one year at LOckport. N.
V, and then removed to Chicago,
where he established dry goods
firm. This firm afterwards became
Field, Palmer L. Letter, Of which the
other members were Marshall Field
and Levi Il. Letter, and which has
been succeeded by the firm Of Mar
shall Field L. Co.
The sharp advance in the price Of
goods after the beginning Of the
civil war found the firm prepared
with large stock, and it reaped i'm
mense gains from every advance. Mr..
Palmer retired from mercantile life
in 1865 and so liberal had been his
policy in meeting public require
ments during the war, that the gov
ernment was indebted to him to the
extent of three-quarters of million
dollars. After disposing of his dry
goods interests Mr.. Palmer invested
largely in Chicago real estate. and he
gan the erection of business build
ings. When the fire came in 1871 he
owned - structures on State street,
every one of which was destroyed.
His losses were very heavy, but his
faith in Chicago was mistaken, and
he borrowed enough money to enable
him to reconstruct the buildings that
had been destroyed. He had already
begun the erection of the Palmer
House hotel. and as soon as possible
after the fire the work on this build
ing was resumed. 1t was completed
at n cost of s.. 2.OOO, 900, the result be-
ing the handsomest and most sub
stantial hotel in the country Mt that
time. His real estate holdings con-
tinued to increase in value until TO-
day his fortune is estimated at $25.-
OOO. 900. Mr.. Palmer was married in
1871 to Miss Bertha NJ. HOnore,
daughter of ii. II. Honore, a Chicago
capitalists of that day. In politics
Mr.. Palmer was a democrat.

REPUBLICANS SPEAK

Republicans OF Puunui collected at
the corner of Wyllie and Liliha streets
last night and heard rousing speeches
in both Hawaiian and English by can
didates of the Republican party. The
gathering was a most enthusiastic one.
J. A. Alapai acted as chairman and
called on the speakers in their order.
Nainoa was the first speaker and he
told of some of the things that had not
been done by the Home Rule party.
Henry Vida spoke first on the leper
question which he said was the most
important issue of the campaign.
Should the policy of Wilcox and the
Home Rule party be put into effect
about 1000 citizens would be placed in
durance vile and ii would be far be-
yond the power of any future Territor-
ial Legislature to establish them in
the liberties that they now do and al
ways should enjoy. In closing his re.
marks on the leper question, Mr.. Vida
said
Il appeal to you who have relatives
at the settlement; I appeal to you who
have friends there, as | have friends
there myself; appeal to you Hawa-
iians and haoles who have members OF
your race there, to thwart this dam
nable plot. Thwart this fiendish con-
spiracy, and when you go to the ballot
box on November the 4th show the
world at large that them ilk of human
kindness has not yet dried up in the
breasts of the citizens of Hawaii mel.

LOGIC OF THE SABBATH.
Writer in AinsIee's Pleads for One
Day OF Rest.

AS psychologist, believe in the
Sabbath day. One day in seven should
be kept holy from work and sacred to
mans primitive paradise of leisure.
am no Puritan pietst or even Sab
batharian in any severe sense, but
hold that this is one of the greatest of
all human institutions and that the
command to keep it as a day OF rest
is written in our physiological con
stitutions. II need be, it may be kept
in sleep, mans great restorer Mon
day our nerves and brain must be re-
freshed. and we must start new
weekly rhythm on higher plane than
we closed the old one. The mental
scenery must be changed. The brood
er's overthought must have enlarged
our plans and given us both momen-
tum and direction. What form the
rest cure should take differs perhaps
Tor each person. | go to church. but
my neighbor should perhaps spend the
day in the 6elds, with children, in
music, in books, but for all there
should be peace, tranquility. repose,
surcease of worry and relaxation. In
no land should the Sabbath be SO hal
lowed as in this land of hustle, ten
sion and Americanitis. &C. Stanley

DYING IN AN ALMSHoUsE.
Pathetic Fate Of a Grandson Of Robert
Fulton, the Inventor.

Rich in ancestry and poor in the
worlds goods is the condition OF
Palmer Fulton, grandson of Robert
Fulton, who launched the first steam.
boat on the Hudson river in 1907 A
few days since this unfortunate de-
scendant of the great inventor was
found dying from starvation in a
hovel in Shelby, small village near
Bucyrus, o., and much against his will
was taken to the Richland county
almshouse. Fulton is a quiet, unas-
suming middle-aged man, having been
employed at the Shelby tube factory
for the last seven years. but constant
sickness has made him a destitute.
His uncle, Joseph, died recently in
New York. and he has been investigat-
ing the disposition of the fortune. but
his efforts only met with failure.
He has brother residing at West
Salem, O., but forbears revealing to
him his miserable condition, and will
allow the almshouse to hide his mis-
fortunes.-Utica Globe.

Among the many strange craft that
ply up and down the rivers around
New York one may frequently see one
that looks like back yard afloat. IT
is a large platform, inclosed all the
way around with picket fence There
are gates in the fence. and. to keep

closure Of suburban garden, there
are green leaves to be seen within
These floating yards are used by
wholesale fruit dealers. 1t is found
that bananas, pineapples and other
tropical fruits spoil so easily in hot
weather that they must not be packed
closely, even for an hour. So they
are put on these floats in such way
that the air can reach them from all
sides. and the trips on the rivers are
made as long as possible.
