left the magnificent mansion on Peach
tree street, Atlanta's most fashionable
thorofare She is also amply provid-
ed with cash funds and left substantial
interests in valuable railway and cor
porarion stocks.

ing for fifteen years. During ths

to personally supervise his business af-
fairs. but toward the last his wife, who

ceed With Original Plans for Fete.

Chicago, April 9.-The Dewey day
celebration is assured. At the special
meeting of the executive committee
held at headquarters in the Marquette

cided that the candidacy of Admiral
Dewey for the presidency would not
make any difference in the entertain
ment offered him in honor of the sec
ond anniversary of the bastle of Ma
Mia. The plans made for the celebra-
tion will be carried out as originally
intended.
Mayor Harrison, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee, presided over the
meeting. Everything was harmonic
Gus" he said, ''and we will do all in our
power to make this celebration cred
it to Chicago and an honor to the adj
miral of the. United States navy. There
was no mention OF politics entering
the matter"
Marein B. Madden, vice chairman of
the Dewey executive committee, said:
1--WE will leave no stone unturned TO
make this celebration a grand success.
The element of politics which has
seemed to frighten certain members
has been entirely eliminated from the
entertainment, and Dewey is invited to
Chicago as the. admiral of the Ameri-
can navy and the hero of the battle of
Manila1
