Feeds Her Pet Pig
With a Silver Spoon
Denver Society Woman Provides
Bed of Down and Linen for
Her Porclne Possession.

DENVER. July 1s.-Mrs. Whitney
Newton, a Denver society matron, has
a new pet.
Young Robert Newton came home a
few evenings ago and brought a baby
pig with him.
Mrs. Newton took the squirming
animal into her arms and tried TO
make 1t comfortable, but without sue
cess. Finally, in desperation, she
went to the linen closet, took out Il
fine piece of hemstitched linen, en-
broidered with blue flowers, wrapped
it gently about the slick little pig,
then laid him cautiously upon the
dOwny pillows beside her own.
Piggy gave satisfied little squeak
doubled up his feet and went off to
sleep happily.
This cunning act won Mrs. New
tons heart, and from evaporation
she developed a positive liking for
her pet. His white skin is washed,
combed and perfumed and he sleeps
in downy bed every night beside his
mistress. He also eats from a silver
spoon.

WIVES CREDITED
WITT KEEPING
HUSBANDS ALIVE
Medical Association Finds That
Benedict's Regular Existence
Is Better Than Bachelors.

Supervision by wives as a possible
reason for the greater longevity Of
married men than of bachelors is dis
cussed by The Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association in it's edito-
rial section of the recently published
statistics on this point. There is no
remark on the statistics of more sui
cides among married men than bach
elors.
The Journal has further informa-
ton indicating that careful as the
married men may be- with restraint
once removed through the death or
divorce of the wife, widowers and
grass widowers leap into indisCretions
and are Topped off more rapidly than
either those still in the state or those
who escaped matrimony.
Live Regular Lives.
Undoubtedly the low death rate
among married men is partly due to
the fact that, as a rule, those who are
in good health, are reader to marry.
while those with more delicate health.
especially if suffering from any def
mite ailment, are not willing to assume
the burden and responsibility of a
family" says The Journal, Another
factor is that married men live much
more regular lives as a rule, and con-
sequently avoid many of the dangers
Of irregular living.
This view would seem to be cor
roborated by the statistics as to the
mortality among married men who
have lost their wives either by death
or divorce. The death rate among
these unmarried men" is considera-
bly, higher than that of husbands of
the same age, and even as a rule it
is higher than that of the bachelors
Of the same age,
Widowers Die Fast.
THE death rate, for instance, of
widOwers and divorced men between
20 and 80 is nearly double that of
single men. From 80 to 40 1t is only
l4l to 1873, while from 40 to so the
mortality of divorced and widowers is
slightly less than that of single men
Of the same age. From so to 60, how -
ever, it is slightly higher once more.
AT all these ages the mortality
rate among widowers and the divorced
is at least nearly and sometimes dou-
BILE that of married men of the same
age"

Mrs. Van Deventer, Daughter of
Mr.. Justice Lurton, to Visit City
for Conservation Fair.

Atlanta Day at the National Con-
servation Exposition in Knoxville this
fall will be one of the largest of the
many special days arranged for the
national fair in the East Tennessee
city.
Atlanta Day, according to plans now
on foot, will be largely a society func-
ton, for the members of the Wo-
mans Department of the exposition
headed by Mrs. Horace VanDeventer,
daughter of Justice Lurton of the
Supreme Court of the United States
as well as Knoxville's acknowledged
society leader, expect to formulate
their plans so that many of Atlanta
society folk will make the trip to
Knoxville for that day.
In addition it is planned to make
Atlanta Day at the exposition one OF
peculiar and intimate interest to all
residents of the city.
Mrs. VanDeventer to Come Here.
The plans for this special day are
now in the making. They will be
matured probably while the delega-
ton of Knoxville business men is n
Atlanta next week, and later when
Mrs. VanDeventer and some of her
coworkers in the woman's department
come to the Georgia metropolis to
take up the matter with Atlanta So
ciety folk.
In the preparations for what un-
doubtedly will be the South's greatest
exposition, the woman's department is
playing no small part. In Knoxville
the exposition management considers
itself fortunate that Mrs. VanDeven-
ter consented to take the direction Of
the woman's work. She has a very
large circle of friends and acquaint-
ancse throughout the country, in cities
of the North as we'll as in cities OF
the South, and what is more, she has
succeeded in interesting large NUM-
bers of society women in the work
she has under way.

the American Red Cross Society and

Mrs Van Deventer made a trip to
Nashville TO interest the women of
that city. On very short notice a
meeting was called. Two hundred or
more Nashville women went to that
meeting. A number of men went
also. There was much enthusiasm
shown. The result was that plans
were completed then and there for a
Nashville Day.
More than that-the Nashville Park
Commissioners, under whose aus
pieces a splendid exhibit Of paintings
is being shown in the Parthenon of
that city, voluntarily and as a COM
pliment to Mrs. VanDeventer decided
to continue the exhibition almost to
the time set for the opening of the
Conservation Exposition. Then the
exhibits will be moved to Knoxville.
One Of them will be shown in the
Art Building; the other, which is the
celebrated collection owned by
Charles L. Freer, a millionaire art
collector, Of Detroit. will be placed in
the Woman's Building.
Mrs. Denney Also Active.
Mrs. NanDeventer and some Of her
coworkeTs, among them Mrs. George
w. Denney, fourth vice president
who is also the president Of the Ten
nessee State Federation Of Women's
Clubs and very active in the club life
of Knoxville and Tennessee, are plan
ming now to come to Atlanta within a
short time to talk matters over with
Atlanta women. Just when Mrs. Van
Deventer and Mrs. Denney will come
or where the meeting will be held
has not been decided.
The fact that Atlanta business men
are showing a keener interest in the
eXpOsition-which is one designed 70
benefit the entire South-than they
have heretofore, and the chances
that Atlanta will be well represented
at the exposition, Is counted upon TO
assist the women.
The womans department has
planned its work along broad lines
The stereotyped exhibits that always
have been a part Of women's depart
ments in other eXpositiOns will have
no place in the Woman's Building az
Knoxville The idea behind the Ma
tional Conservation Exposition Is Ons
Of conservation, and these women
have figured II out that there is prob
ably nothing that needs conserving
more than the energies and the healt 4
of women all over this broad land.
So that is what the exhibits in the
woman's department will typify to a
very large extent. OF course, the
things that have a peculiar interest
and attraction to women will not oe
overlooked

Solicitor Is BOmbarded With Let
tiers to Proceed Against Negro
as Slayer of Mary Phagan.
THE GRAND JURY is CALLED
Hottest Battle of Famous Case To
Be Waged Behind Closed
Doors of Inquisitory Body.

Solicitor Dorsey is fighting vigor-
ously the movement in the Grand
Jury to indict Jim Conley Monday for
the murder of Mary Phagan, despite
the bambardment of letters from
many citizens and by the sentiment
of some of its own members.
1t is for the consideration of these
letters and petitions. asking the re-
opening of the Phagan matter, that
the meeting has been called.
1t was in the face of Solicitor Dor
sey's bitterest opposition that the
meeting was called at all. Foreman
Beattie issued his def after a pre-
vious Grand Jury had been defeated
in its efforts to reopen the case with
a view Of indicting Jim Conley and
after Dorsey explicitly had expressed
his strongest disapproval Of such a
move.
Crucial Battle Coming.
With the first skirmish won by
those in favor of the indictment of
Conley, the hottest battle is yet to be
waged behind the closed doors of the
jury room. The question first will be
on whether the grand jurors consider
1t proper at this time to reopen the
investigation whose first chapter re-
suited in the indictment of Leo NJ
Frank on the charge Of staying Mary
Phagan. Solicitor Dorsey will lay be-
fore the body for the first time all of
his reasons for desiring a postpone
ment of all further investigation until
after the trial of Frank
Should the Solicitor be driven back
from this position by the Grand Jury
again disregarding his wishes and
taking up the investigation, he will
be forced to take refuge in the last
ditch and make his fight against the
indictment Of Conley.
With all the weight Of evidence
which has piled up against the negro,

tude of her various philanthropic
work to devote herself to society, will
be the guest of the woman's depart
ment of the exposition on September
10. Miss Boardman to accept this
invitation will be obliged to cut short
her vacation, but she has gladly con-
scented to do this rather than miss
going to Knoxville. She will be made
the recipient Of many social favors
and attentions while in Knoxville.
She will be the house guest of Mrs
VanDeventer.
Mrs. Hammond Interested.

it is regarded as beyond the realm
of possibilities that he could persuade
the jurors to return a mo bill'' against
Conley on the charge of murder Dor
eey's one remaining hope at this time
would be, it is said, to induce the
Grand Jury to waive definite action
until after the trial of Frank, when
it will be in a position to say whether
an indictment shall be drawn against
Conley as an accessory after the fact,
to which he has confessed, or as the
actual murderer.
Dorsey Refuse sto Comply.
The Solicitors attitude in the mat
ter plainly was shown by his state
ment when Foreman Beattie went to
him Friday seeking to have him call
the meeting. Dorsey fatty refused
and said:
1.-The meetings. only purpose will be
to exploit the evidence and embar-
rass the State, and l hope the Grand
Jury when it meets will decide to
leave the matter alone.
1.-THE Indictment Of Conley at this
time viii be a useless procedure that
will not stop the trial Of Frank. 1t
will only have a mild but undesirable
effect on the States case.
"Conley is in Jail and is going to
stay there for some time He is
where the authorities can put their
hands on him, and he can be indicted
much more properly after the Frank
case has been disposed of than be-
fore, and by the delay there is no
danger of a miscarriage of justice"
The Solicitors position is attacked
as palpably unfair by those who have
been working to bring about the in
dictment of the negro. Dorsey would
have the testimony Of the negro ac-
credited as that of any free and
trustworthy citizen, while those OPP
posing him declare it should be taken
in the light of that of possible muir
derer who is endeavoring to shift the
blame on another's shoulders, they
say.
Evidence More Direct.
They add that the evidence against
Conley is far more direct and damn
ing than any ever brought against
Frank. They charge, on this account,
that Conley has been protected and
"coddled" when he should have been
placed on the same basis as the other
suspect in the case and should 60 be-
fore the jury in that aspect.
General denials were entered Sat
urday to the story published Friday
that the Pinkertons had changed their
attitude in the murder mystery and
were convinced of the innocence Of
Frank. Chief of Detectives Lanford
declared that Harry Scott had reaf-
firmed his belief in the guilt of Frank
and the innocence Of Conley, except
as accessory after the fact

they were too badly broken up TO be
