POTTER PALMER DIES SUDDENLY Physicians Are Puzzled Concerning Fatal Iliness, Passing of One of Chicago’s Most Prominent Busi- ress Men. CHICAGO, May 4.—Potter Palmer, for nearly half a century one of Chicago's most prominent business men, died to- night 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 feel- if anything, better than for several h night, however, he | seemed to lose all his energ; and this morning was unable to his room. He gradually grew weaker during the day and at 5:# o'clock this evening he suifered a sudden collapse from which he expired. The physicians who were at- tending Mr. Paimer are at a loss as to the ultimate cause of his death, as ap- parently he had no organic troubles.

After a brief conference with Dr. Marquis, he an- nounced that death was due to heart fail- ure. He discovered a slight disorder of the lungs that gave some indication of in- cipient pneumonia, possibly brought on by an attack of grip suffered several months ago, but not sufficient to have brought the speedy er News of the death the city, and intimate mer fami time ass of Mr. dge Lambert Tres Levi Z.

LONDON, May 4—After the strong de- mand for money at the close of the month the market eased decidedly at the release of the May interest dividends, but rates are likely to remain steady for some time, especially in view of the re- port that Bulgaria has arranged to float a loan of 100,000,000 francs in Paris at per cent,. which Wwill curtail the gold su There was very lit- Ue business on the Stock Exchange here during the last week.

If the news received from there is favorable it will be the certain signal for a sharp rise in all sections of the market. There were some large movement in American shares during the last week, but the general tone of thi§ situation ‘was weak. Operators dis- trust the ulterfor motive behind . the continued rise in Loufsville and Nash- ville, and few sales of this stock were reccrded.

This is the first time in many years that El Paso has shown such observation of the Sabbath. Usually Sunday has been the banner day of the week among the gamblers and saloon men.

WASHINGTON, May 4.+The principal featurs in the programme of the House this week will be the bill to place three | new stars in the American flag. The om- nibus bill for the admission of Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona to Statehood will be called on Tuesday. The friends of the bill do not desire pro- tracted debate on it and will try to secure a vote on that day. There is much opposi- tion to the bill on the Republican side of the House on the ground that the Terri- tories are not yet fitted for Statehood, but the friends of the bill entertain no doubt of its passage. The Democrrats in caucus agreedpto give it their united support, and at least sixty Republican votes are count- ed on. \! To-morrow is District of Columbla day. After the Statehood bill is disposed of, war claims will be given attention and then the naval appropriation bill will be taken up. Three important measures of general legislation—the Hill financial bill terminating the coinage of sllver dollars, the Ray anti-anarchy bill and the Shattuc bill codifying and extending the immigra- tion laws—are to be taken up whenever opportunity occurs, the Rules Committee deciding Saturday that these measures should is\'e early attention. No time has been set for them, but the decision of the, Rules Committeee will bring them for- ward whenever appropriation- bills and special orders are lacking. In the Senate among other .measures which will receive attention during the, week are the sundry eclvil appropriation bill and the bill providing for the opening to settlement of the Rosebud Indian Res- ervation in South Dakota. The reserva- tion question has priority of claim to con- sideration in the morning hour of each day, and the appropriation bill will be used “to fill in” when no one is prepared l(; sp!e,?lll( on either that bill or the Pgllllp- pine bill. The resolutions providing for the recall of Major Gardener lost its position of ad- vantage Saturday and i{s now on the cal- | endar, but the chances are that it will be revived and that it will receive further attention. ey FALLS INTO A SHAFT BUT ESCAPES DEATH New Mexico Miner Meets With an Accident and Thanks Ladder for Life. ALBUQUERQUE, N, Mex., May 4—A. P. Eaves, a miner of Pinos Altos, lost his balance near the top of a' 400-foot shaft yesterday and plunged to the bot- tom, but by a peculiar stroke of good iuck his descent was stopped and he was hauled to the surface a few minutes later with only a broken leg and a few trifiing bruises. Eaves is an employe of the Mountain | Key mine at Pinos Altos. Desiring to inspect the condition of the timbering, he started to descend the ladder while the bucket was at the bottom. He had gone down but a few rounds when he lost his hold on the ladder, his feet siip- ged and his body plunged toward the ottom. When nearly at the bottom one foot caught in the rungs of the ladder, and, although the bone of the leg snapped ,the muscles and the man's clothing proved strong enough to Lold him fast, head downward. Eaves clutched ing so happened to grasp the signal rope long enough to sound a call tothe engineer to pull up the bucket. He then grasped the : ladder and managed to ease the strain on his broken leg until the bucket came up, when he dropped into it and was_drawn to the surface.

SPOKANE, May 4—“I'm going to quit the blooming business, don't ye know,” said Lord Sholto Douglas, son of the Marquis of Queensberry, to a lounger and the bartender in his rum joint to-night. “You go out and get a crowd and we'll drink up all the bloomin’ booze in the house."” Ten minutes later the saloon was vis- ited by every blear-eyed rough within a radius of two blocks. Two hundred men tried to crowd into the little place. As the gnniowu not being served rapidly enough Lord Sholto himself stepped be- hind the bar and handed out intoxicants as fast as he could fill the glasses. A squad of soldiers from Fort Wright was the first to arrive, and Uncle Sam's men were soon g}:orlously exhilarated. Then came the hangers-on, and they crowded, swearing and gesticulating, up to the bar. . At 8 o'clock the beer ran Whisky was served to the ever- crowd. The stock bottles were emptied in a jifty, and then the case goods were opened. Sherry and port came next and were quickly consumed. Then from. un- der the bar a four-gallon demijohn of gin Was produced, and it was hurled down the throats of the multitude. A bottle of absinthe was uncorked, and it, too, dis- agpeured.

PARIS, May 4.—In spite of the threat- ening weather Augusto Zevero, the Bra- zilian aeronaut, made a successful first trial with his alrship at Vaugirard Aero- static Park to-day. Zevero's airship is called La Paix. ‘The balloon, held by a rope, ascended forty meters. The motors were then started. The balloon obeyed the impulse of its propellers, steering easily and main- taining perfect equilibrium. After maneu- vering for a short time Zevero returned the ship to its shed. La Paix is not unlike Santos Dumont’s airships in appearance, but it differs from them in many details. The gas capacity of La Paix is nearly four times that of Santo Dumont’'s airships. It has thre: 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 six- teen horsepower respectively. Zevero said he would not make another trial until there was perfectly fair weather, and thn!tI he would then attempt to extend his flight. FALLS FRCM A TRAIN IN SIGHT OF HEUNDREDS Spectators at an Antioch Baseball Game Witness Young Man’s Mishap. ANTIOCH, May 4.—Several hundred spectators at the ball game here this aft- ernoon witnessed a thrilling accident. As the Santa Fe passenger train passed the grand stand those aboard and the base- ball crowd waved greetings at one an- | other. Herbert Eggleston of\ Black Dia- mond, who was on the rear platform, recognized his sister and several friends from Black Diamond in the grand stand. He foolishly started to jump from tne train, but changed his mind when it was too late. Failing to recover his balance | he pitched headlong from the train down the embankment. His sister cried, “It 1s my brother, and he has fallen from the train.” Every one rushed over to where he was lying, and he was picked up hur- riedly and taken into town, where his in- juries were attended to. The train backed up to the scene of the accident, expecting that the young man had been killed, but when the conductor saw that he had been cared for it eontinued on jts way. Eg- gleston’s injuries, while sefious, are not dangerous. —_—— Cholera Continues in Manila. MANILA, May 4.—The cholera has not abated.

The incalculable amount of good that Paine’s Celery Compound is now doing in making sick people well should compel the attention of every thinking man and woman now in sickness and suffering. Faulty nutrition of the nervous system is the direct cause of nervous debility, headaches, dyspepsia and neuralgia—ail- ments that thousands are now suffering from. When people have blood that is pale, watery and full of impurities their nerves cannot assimilate food properly and derive nourishment from it. Paine’s Celery Compound used in May cleanses the blood, bestows greater nerve force, regulates the stomach and bowels, arouses a healthy appetite and brings about a normal action of the dormant liver. Paine’s Celery Compound in every case gives a positive and permanent cure. It is the most thoroughly honest med cine that run-down and sickly men and women can employ. Its life-giving effect on nerves and bloed is truly marvelous. Save Money by dyeing your faded garments with Dllllm'.md Dyes. 10 cents.

E. ‘Widener of Philadelphia and Anthony N. Brady of New York are leaders of the great street railway, gas and electricity combine and Willlam C. Whitney, another member of this coterie, formerly Secretary of the Navy, is at the head of the Metro- politan Street Railway Company and a multi-millionaire. In connectipn with his plan of the great grain pool, Phillips is planning the estab- lishment of the biggest grain brokerage in the world with headquarters in Chicago and. Eastern branches at Cleveland, Pitts- burg, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany and New York. Phillips and Dunfee would not tell what happened in their conference to-day. The scheme of Phillips, it was said by friends of Dun- fee, is to take influential capitalists in the market to purchase wheat ana corn which they will manipulate through their great brokerage establishments. “Grain prices will remain at the high mark for the next few months,” said Phfl]lfs to-night, “and I do not beliéve we 11 ever have cheap corn again—not | twenty-cent corn as we had in 1896, at least.” The Tyrol, following the example of Norway, is trying to encourage the winter tourist business by offering better facili- ties for winter sports.
