POTTER PALMER'S WILL
Widow Given Control of an Estate EST.
mated to Be Worth S8,OO0,000.


CHICAGO. May 14.-By the
terms of the will of the late Pot
ter Palmer. his widow, Mrs. Ber-
tina Honore Palmer, succeeds
him as head of an estate conserv-
atively estimated at IS, 900, 900.
The property goes jointly to
Mrs. Palmer and their sons, Ho-
more and Potter, jr., but Mrs.
Palmer is given almost unlimited
control and the unlimited dispo-
sition Of it all. 1t is believed the
testator made this arrangement
on account of the great conf
dence he had in Mrs. Palmer's
ability and judgment, and not
through any lack of faith in their
sons. He makes it clear that
he wishes her to carry out the
plans they had made together.

The Darkest Day Of the War.

Ex-Secretary John d. Long says
that the darkest day in the navy de-
partment during the Spanish war was
when a telegram came that COmmO-
dere Schley when within 20 miles of
Santiago, where it was known that
Cervera IS fleet was in hiding, turned
about and started for Key West.
Every moment Long says it was ex-
pected to learn that Schley had at
tackled the Spaniards, but when the
news came that he had turned about
there was gloom in Washington. Fort
unately he was overtaken and ordered
back TO assist Sampson in looking
after Cervera, and one of the greatest
victories in naval annals followed.

There often comes time in the strug-

The ambition to be up and around gives

Hunger for Mystery.

People who scan the advertising
pages of current newspapers and other
periodicals will be struck with the at
tempt, everywhere evident, to pander
to the love for the mysterious and the
obscure. People who profess the ut
most scOrn and unbelief in such things
eagerly patrOnize the astrologer, the
palmist, the fortune teller. Quacks
and fakirs of all sorts with no other
equipment than abundant assurance
and working knowledge of human.
nature coin this love for the mysteri-
Gus and desire for miracles and won
der working into mines of wealth for
themselves.
Their dupes are always easily work
ed. 1t is a sign of weak mind and
an uncultivated will, as well as of a
narrow intellect, this overweening,
undiscriminative appetite for the
marvellous of this kind. 1t is mere
tinsel imitation of the real hunger
that leads men to seek knowledge
There is an infallible test to diStin-
guish between the true and the false
appetites for the mysterious and the
unrevealed, and that is found in the
motives of the seeker and of the seer
who would reveal. If what is sought
and what is given are for material
profit and material gam, then is the
search and its ending in vain.

Bodies Roasted and Burned.

A landing has at last been made at
st. Pierre and the work of exploring
the ruins of the annihilated city has
begun. While it will be many days
before the full magnitude of the havoc
wrought can be ascertained, enough
is already revealed to indicate that
the very worst anticipations are more
than realized.
All the dead thus far seen were
stark naked, their clothing apparent
lv having been burned from their bod
les like so much finder, while they
themselves were roasted to death. In
the vast majority of instances fire
seems to have been the sole cause of
death.

Foraker's Reply to Patterson.

An important contribution to the
discussion of the Philippine bill was
made in the senate this week by Mr..
Foraker, of Ohio. He maintained
that the United States could not leave
the island until order had been restor-
ed and until a stable government had
been established. He declared that
this government would not come
away from the islands until the pres
ent or the next administration even
though the latter be democratic be-
cause the American people would
never consent to poltroony. Mr.. For
aker read some editorials from the
Denver News, of which Mr.. Patter-
son Colo is the proprietor. The ed
itorials maintained that the United
States must retain control of the Phil
ippines and put down the insurrection.
With keen sarcasm the Ohio senator
declared that the editorials did not
read as Mr.. Patterson's speeches
read now. Mr.. Foraker held that the
policy adopted in the Philippines was
one of the kindliest and gentlest pos
sible and in strict accord with the in
structions of President Mckinley. He
declared that the minority had at
tackled the army from the command
ing general to the humbleSt private
all because the army had resented the
outrage without parallel in cruelty
committed by the F1lipinos. The
American army had shown human
ity unsurpassed in history. The
American people always had stood by
their army and they always would.

fish there a great charity on orig

pie as he himself will select the

great time will elapse before
the institution will be ready for

Independent Voters Still! Live.

The indiscriminate scratching in

HIS MIND MIXED
RESULT OF f FALL
An Ohio Man with Taste for Travel
Tells OF Some Veru Queer Hd-
ventures.

Ell pASO. Tex. July 11.-A very
singular case OF lapse of memory is re-
, lated hv James r. Simpson, of Akron.
! Ohio, who arrived in the city yester-
day from Mexico on his way home.
Mr. Simpson says that two months
ago he was working on a farm near
Akron. He remembers that he was
engaged in repairing a COW she'd and
fell from the roof. striking his head on
a board. He says that for two or
| three days his head troubled him. and
he has an indistinct ecollection OF
finally going to a bank and drawing
ont $3.50 he had on deposit and starting
for trip Why he did this he can
not tell, and had no special object in
view. He seemed to be impelled by a
desire to keep moving. and went in any
direction that chance presented. and
when he called for a ticket he named
the first place that came to his mind.
He dimly recalls incidents connected
with the trip. and the fact that he
finally decided to go to Mexico City 10
see IL the journey would not do him
some good
For hours at time he states he did
not know what he was doing. and then
he would come TO himself to find that
he was riding on the cars or wandering
around In strange city During his
lucid periods he was possessed by an
irresistible desire to keep travelling,
end so continued to journey on.
Simpson states that while out OF his
head he was neither robbed nor lost
any money. and must have spent Il
with sparing hand, as he found but
little missing. At Kansas City he
says that he was arrested. the police
man thinking he was drunk. but this
was not true, and he was soon re-
leased.
MT Simpson adds that during tho
past two weeks he has been perfectly
sane and feels all right He came n
completely in the City Of Mex
leo. and after brief stay there de-
cided to return home.
