The old stompin'-groun', where we
Wore the grass off, wild and free

And twist roun', and fight, and lie

GREAT COUNCIL OF LABOR.

The American Fed deration Discusses the
Eight-Hour Question.
Boston, Mass, Dec. l0.-A large num-
Der of delegates were present at the
opening of the convention of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor in the Com
mon Council chamber. city hall, to- day.
The chamber is handsomely decorated
with the stars and stripes, red, white
and blue streamers and with banners
and insignia ofthe various trades repre-
sented, tastefully arranged, Shortly
after 10 A. NJ, President Samuel Comp
ers called the asseInblage to order and
dispatched committee to notify Gov.
Ames and Mayor Hart that the conyen-
ton had assembled. The entrance of
those gentlemen was the signal for great
applause, which continued until GOV.
Ames was introduced and addressed the
convention. The Governor welcomed
the delegates to massachusetts,, saying
they could not have chosen more aD-
propriate place for their meeting
Speaking of the relation OF capital and
labor, he SAID there is no natural an
tagonlsm between them. Without cap
itai, labor is hampered, and its results
limited in these days of large opera
tions; but without labor, capital be-
comes unproductIve. "In your discus
sions," said the Governor, 81 belle,
you will bear in mind that these re.
tlons are reciprocal and that to sht-
the center of power too far ii either
direction is to invite disaster"
Mavor Hart was introduced and made
a brief address, welcoming the delegates
to Boston. He also referred to the
eight-hour movement, saving it seemed
to him it couldn't be confined to any
one class alone and the quicker We
learn that we are one, that nobody can
live unto himself alone, that civil So
ciety rises and falls with the rise and
fall Of its members, none excepted, the
better it will be for all.
The governor and mayor then retired
from the hall. An address by President
Gompers on the benefits OF organized
labor followed. A committee on Gre
dentials was then appointed, pending a
report Of which the convention took a
recess

his objections on the fact that Brazil is

much advanced in manufacturing inter-

and cannot deprive itself OF these

JEFFERSON DAVIS DEAD.
The Light Snuffed Out After Ten Dsys'


A Now Orleans dispatch of the 9th
inst. says, Jefferson Davis died at 12:45
this morning. He arrived here from
his home at Beauvoir, Miss, about ten
days age, and reports Of his illness were
soon in circulation. These, however,
his physician and friends said were ex-
aRgeIated and the bulletins which
have since been given out have gen
orally reported him to be improving,
even as late as yesterday. His advanced
age-he was Sl-and his generally de-
bilitated condition, however, made re-
covery probable, and those nearest
him feared that he would never rally.
There was decided change for the
worse IN his condition yesterday, and
last night those about his bedside saw
that the end was near. He maintained
consciousness almost TO the last, and
many of his friends here were with him
when the end came.
Jefferson Davis WAS born on June 8,
1903, in what is now Todd County, Mo-,
his father few months later removing
to wilkinson County, Mo. Jefferson
Davis was educated at Pennsylvania
College, KY, and II 1924 entered West
Point Military Academy, graduating
therefrom iG 1923. He served through
the Black Hawk war, and later was
stationed at Fl. Howard and TT.
Crawford (now Prairie du CHEM
Wis. In 1885 he eloped with
the daughter Of Gen. Zachary Taylor,
aiterward President of the United
States. He resigned from the army and
lived in Mississippi for some time. He
entered politics and later returned to
the army, serving through the Mexican
war. In l847 he was appointed to the
nlted States Senate, and Wnlle mem
Der Of that body fought n duel with
Gen. Biseell, the trouble being over the
value of Davis Mississippi regiment.
In 1853 ne was appointed secretary of
war by President Pierre. after PierCe's
term returning to the Senate. When
the Southern states seeded he resigned
his seat in Congress and was chosen
President Of the Southern COnfederacy.
At the close of the rebellion Mr.. Davis
fed from Richmond, attended by his
personal staff, mem bers of his cabinet,
etc. On May 10, 1865, he was in camp
near lrwinsVille, Ga, when a body of
Union cavalry captured him. He was
conveyed 10 Fortress Monroe, where he
was confined for two years. In May,
1867, he was arraigned on a charge OF
treason, and was admitted to bail. A
charge that he instigated the
assassination of President Lincoln
could not be substentiated. In
1867 lie visited Europe. The
charge of treason held against him was
noileG the same year, and ne was in.
cludcd in the general amnesty OF
December %, 1868. He subsequently,
located at Memphis, Tenn, and later
iyed at Beauvolr, Miss.

James Ducker suddenly Jumped into
the room Of E. B. Sutherland, at Chica-

at Sutherland q cup of nitric acid. The
recipient of the vitriOl screamed in
agony, while Ducker hurried out
and ran down State Street into II Chinese
opium den, where he was captured
a moment later by the police. Ducker
and Sutherland were former comrades
in the United States army, serving until
recently as privates at Fort Leaven-
worth. The reason for the assault lay
in the fact that Ducker on coming to
Chicago engaged in the business OF of
feIing to mail valuable gold watches at
ridlculOusly low figures on receipt OF
cash in advance. He Was getting
great quantity of registered
mali and, it is alleged, sending no
watches. While intoxicated he told
Sutherland the scheme. Sutherland at
once informed the authorities and an
attempt was made to arrest Ducker, an
appointment with Sutherland being
used as q decoy. DucSer asked to have
the warrant read, and, watch
ing his chance, Jumped through
a window and escaped. Moth
