Colorado Springs, July .-M Mrs.
Margaret Howell Jefferson Davis
Hayes, wife OF J. Addison Hayes,
a social leader OF this city and
known as The Daughter OF the
Confederacy," died at her resi-.
dence 83a North Cascade avenue,
tonight at 8 o'clock, after a six
months illness, due to a compli.
cation OF diseases.
Mrs. Hayes was the daughter
OF the late Jefferson Davis, presi.
dent OF the Coniederacy, aud was
81 years OF age twenty.iour
years OF which were spent in this
city. She was the last surviving
member OF the Davis family, and
is survived by her husband, two
daughters and two sons, Mrs.
Gerald Is. Webb, wife OF one OF
the prominent physicians OF this
city; Miss Lucy Hayes, William
Hayes and Jefferson Hayes Davis.
The last named recently had his
name changed by act OF the Colo.
RADIO Legislature in order to perpet
uate the name OF the Davis family.
A sister OF Mrs. Hayes, Miss
Minnie Davis, died about four
years ago in New Orleans, and
Mrs. Hayes was then elected by
the Confederate organizations OF
the South to succeed her sister in
the title Daughter OF the Southern
Coniederacy."
Mir. and Mrs. Hayes have been
married about thirty years. The
mother OF Mrs. Hayes, Mrs.
efer onDaivis, died in New York
city about a year ago.
In the death oil Mrs. Hayes the
South loses a typical example OF
Southern blood and breeding, and
Colorado Springs is bereft OF one
oil its most exemplary OF the coterie
OF social and philanthropic leaders.
Bred IN the private schools OF the
South, born OF proudest and most
aristocratic family. that fourished
under the old regime, Mrs. Hayes
inherited all the elements OF true
refinement from her distinguished
father, and in her education i'm
bibed all the attributes that tend
to the highest degree OF culture
and social prestige.
AS a leader in her social world
Mrs. Hayes was universally loved
Tor the fine character obtained
from her fortunate combination OF
a sy npathetic heart and broad cul.
ture. AS a leader in the church
she commanded the respect oil all
by her unostentatious service in
the cause OF humanity, and her
death will be sincerely mourned
by hundreds Of needy people.
Once, however, in this city Mrs.
HAYES felt compelled to appear in
print in the defense OF her fathers

memory, and the occasion which
called forth an expression from her
was also the cause oil much pain
to an equally distinguished person,
the late General William !. Pal.
mer. II was on the occasion oil
the reunion given in this CITY Aug.
ust 40 to as, 1907, by General
Palmer to the veterans OF the Sew.
enteenth Pennsylvania regiment,
the Fighting Seventeenth, that
went through the war with the gen.
eral.
In the Antlers hotel, where the
soldiers made their headquarters,
some ~over-zcalous officer had dis
played a copy OF the original pro.
clamation OF Abraham Lincoln, or
derlng General Palmer to partic-
pate, with his regiment, in the
pursuit OF Jefferson Davis. The
incident came to the ears OF Mrs.
Hayes, a close friend OF General
! Palmer, and she recalled the in-
cident surrounding the life OF her
father at that time.
In reply General Palmer express
ed a degree OF emotion most I'M
usual IN him, and ordered the Of
iensive proclamation to be taken
down, and severely re~primanded
the officer responsible tor the un-
pleasant incident.
One OF the noble traits OF Mrs.
Hayes character became evident in
the month OF suffering Immediately
preceding her demise, during which
she made a courageous fight with
death, a fight characterized by the
true spirit OF Christian faith and
tenderness toward those about her
bedside. With her when the end
came were her husband and child
rem and DR.. Gerald Is. Webb, her
son-in-law and attending physician.
In their bereavement the Hayes
family have the sympathy OF the
entire city, as Mrs. Hayes was
known and beloved by hundreds
not in the immediate circle OF the
society in which they moved. The
beautiful domestic relations which
always characterized the Hayes
household was the subject OF rem
eral comment in social circles, and
the deep affection which existed
between husband and wife is shown
by the fact that HAYES is tonight
completely Frustrated by the blow.
Hayes is president OF the First
National bank OF this city. The
two sons, William Hayes and left.
erson Davis, are college men, the
former being in Princeton and the
latter a graduate OF the same. Jeff
erson is now taking a postgraduate
course in Columbia. He is prom
inent in the athletic world, being
one OF the best polo players OF the
vest. Both sons are very popular
socially.

AN INCREASE OF

Two thousand three hundred
and fifty per cent, seems rather
large figures to be dealing with,
even when n is considering as
broad a subject as the increase in
the use OF rural telephones. Yet
It is a fact that in the hve.year
period ending Dec. 81, 1907, the
number OF phone stations in the
rural districts oil the western states
did jump 2,35o per cent. In act
ual figures, the eleven states which
constitute this group had 2,55o
country telephones at tie end oil

had Gaia.
These figures form the most

duce some telling facts from the

many rural phones each western
state had in 1909 and in 1907.

That is the story told by the tele.

In the United States in 1904
there were 2o6, goo rural phone

farms in the country is given as
5,535,6II. In 1904 but a4.S per

with facilities for communication

years later the percentage was a6.5.
The state OF Iowa on Dec. 81,

number OF farm telephones has
gone on even more steadily since
the latest census figures were pub
lished. According to the state
ment OF the Western Electric Com
pany, which manufactures all the
telephones and apparatus used in
this country by the Bell system, it
alone has sold over eighty thous.
and rural telephones within the
past six months.
An up-to.date farmer once said
that he would as soon think of
