Lawrence. and have found it perfectly normal. She is in perfect physical condition.''
 It is evident that the conservators of Mrs. Curtis are keeping close watch on her doings. for Attorney Daven- port questioned Dr. Lawrence on her do1nRs of last week, Oct 19 and also Of Oct. 9th. DF. Lawrence was ask ed that if on the 18th there was not a dinner given to celebrate the be- coming of age of her son, Keith Mor- but that there was a party of between 50 and 60, mostly deaf and dumb friends of the young man, many of whom he did not know. There was claret served at a little luncheon, but Mrs. Curtis did not partake of any, though she did drink some lemonade. That day Dr. Lawrence called his four usual times giving her mental treat ment. The fourth visit, about eight o'clock in the evening as she was highly nervous he gave her hyoscin tablet, which he stated was a very good sedative in nervous cases. Dr. Lawrence stated that Mrs. Curtis was very much disturbed that evening, but he was positive that she was not intoxicated. pr. Lawrence was asked what would be his statement if wit nesses were called to state that Mrs. Curtis was very much intoxicated in that evening. ''As far as I know she was not intoxicated" replied the phy sic.an.
 The hearing is adjourned for one week when Attorney Davenport will probably make motion to the court that the petition of Mrs. Curtis be denied and that the case be thrown out of court.

SAYS MRS. CURTISS DID NOT REVEL IN
 NEW YORK CAFES
Her Doctor Denies AffidavitS of Drunkenness and Throwing
 Champagne at Walters

It is the expected belief of Dr. G. A.. Lawrence, medical adviser of Mrs. Julia Watt Morris Curtis, who is pe- titioning the probate court for the re- movaI of the conservators in charge of her affairs, that it would be to the great physical detriment of Mrs. Cur tis to travel the long distance from New York city to a hearing in Fair field. The hearing would not drive her insane. but would subject her to an attack of nervous prostratiOn. Her associations within the past two years have been such,' said pr. Law renee. that affairs of business have worked on her mind so that they have left her very irritable and in a highly alone and in quiet, there would be some improvement but with the con- stant botherings of her conservators, her two sons, and others, she is the same"
 Dr. Lawrence was the only witness called yesterday before Judge of Pro- bate Edward P Nobbs of this city Dr. Lawrence has been Mrs. Curtis medical adviser since Jan- 1st of this year. Four calls day are made on Mrs. Curtis, some days oftener at Mrs. Curtis suggestion Dr: Lawrence admitted that oftentimes his treat ment was mental rather than medical. t4She is highly nervous, and needs
 
 treatment,'' said her physician.
 Dr. Lawrence in stating that he be- Heved Mrs. Curtis was perfectly com petent to manager her own affairs stated that if she had unlimited means he would recommend that she had a physician in constant attendance, un- til she had so far improved that his services would be unnecessary.
 To Dr. Lawrence were read the af- fidavits of numerous servants in the employ of Mrs. Curtis in her 86th St: in York cab drivers and others who stated that Mrs. Curtis on mum erous occasions was intoxicat- ed and often times was put out of New York cafes because of her ac- lions. She delighted in throwing glasses of champagne at walters, and in venting her ire on persons who committed imaginary offenses. Dr. Lawrence said that these statements were absolutely false and were tend ed only to injure Mrs. Curtis and to deprive her of her rights. The affi dayits of John c. Shaw, at one time counsel for Mrs. Curtis, were also read. It was along the same lines as that of the servants of Mrs Cur is To this Dr. Lawrence said. 'tI wouldn't believe him under oath He is incompetent to make such state ments.''
 All these affidavits were taken in November and December of last year while Dr. Lawrence began to treat Mrs Curtis in January of this year. Dr. Lawrence was sure the statements were false for if true, he would have discovered symptoms of alcoholism in his examination of Mrs. Curtis '1 have examined her blood" said Dr.

 Nightly changes of program, in con- nectfon with the elaborate attractions of the booths and the excellent ar engagements for dancing, should make the Jahrmarkt the scene of large gatherings all week. Opening with a fine concert by the United German Singing Societies, with the numbers of the Tyrolean Troupe interspersed. the Jahrmarkt's opening night delighted the big attendance.
 At 7:45 the United German Societies nearly 1000 strong, with scores of school children dropping about half a dozen handsome beribboned Maypoles, the parade moved from Bulls Head down Main street to Fairfield avenue, to Broad street, to Gilbert street, to Main street, and to the Armory.

He asked all to assist in the attaining of the end of the car- nnval, the establishment of charity fund, and closed his congratuIatory remarks with the German phrase, "Ich wunsche Euch viel gluck gum Jahr- markt." This evoked storm of ap- pIause.
 Then followed alternately the chorus, the Tyroleans and dancing, this ar- hitting the popular fancy. Patronage through the booths was reported ex- cellent throughout the evening while the floor, admirably conditioned for until midnight
 Most picturesque of all is the act of the Tyroleans. Garbed in their Alpine attire, they sing in sweetest harmony the melodies of their noun tain home. A. Platt, the baritone so- lo1st, is also an accomplished zither soloist. accompanying the singers.

 FOR BRIDESMAIDS
Especial from United PFess.l

New York, Oct. 25-"I love every one of my three bridesmaids more than anyone else. except my hus- band" said Mrs. Mary schIey-Bowen- Evans, in her hotel today Mrs. Evans was oeeved because it. had become public that her chosen bridesmaids acted puppyish," yesterday, and for a time seemed about to spoil the we'd ding. So she came to the defense Of her attendants, insisting that they be- haved as could be expected when they saw her devotion about to be divided with another.
 The bridesmaids. who lay on a di- van during the interview, were plainly much affected by her praise and bark ed and wagged their tails.
 The idea of having her three roy ally bred Japanese Spaniels as brides maids, when she was married, yester- day to Percy Williams Evans of Seat tie, originated in the brain of her cousin, Arthur Delroy, Mrs. Evans said. He had the Spaniels brought from her San Francisco home, and they will accompany her on her we'd ding trip to Europe next week.

Chicago, Oct. 25-'"Too much pros- perity,'' is one of the reasons, and the principal one. given here today by packers, as an explanation whE bacon. for the first time in its hls- tory, is quoted at retail for forty cents a pound.
 s"The people want the very best and they are willing to pay for it, is the way the packers put it. There is a point out that other cuts of pork are cheap and that beef and mutton are plentiful and low.
 saThere has for a long time been a scarcity of the finest hogs,'' declared representative of Swift & Company s'The only reason for the advance, however, is that so many will only eat the very best and their heavy demand has caused the rise in fancy cuts"
