WILL NOT RESIGN.
J. D. Pierce to Continue as
President of Fedora
ton of Labor.

Jefferson D. Pierce, president of the
Massachusetts, Federation of Labor,
does not contemplate resigning, if he
can help it.
1t has been published that President
Pierce visited Boston short time ago
and there proclaimed his intention of
resigning. Mr.. Pierce told The 'Spy
man that the story was founded on
imagination. Mr.. Pierce says he has
no intention of resigning and knows of
no strong opposition to him.
Vice President John H. Murray of
Marlboro has been known to speak as
though the office of president would
fall in bis hands in short time. Dur
ing his term of office in the state fed
GRAFTON of labor, Vice-President Muir
ray has been before the people time and
again in connection with labor trou-
bles. He was one of the rulers Of the
Marlboro strike. and local labor lead
ers believe he played his death card in
the conduct of that strike.
j. D. Pierce is appreciated by out-of
town men to a far greater degree than
in this city. He has been severely crit
ictzed on several occasions, but labor
leaders say that criticism comes only
after man has accomplished some
thing. AS an earnest fighter for the
labor mans cause, he made a name for
himself in Rochester, N Y.
When the Klobedanz case was being
wrangled, the Rochester brewers
showed that they supported Mr.. Pierce
by expressing a desire to boycott the
Worcester ball team on it's visit to
that city. Mr.. Pierce prevented the
Rochester brewers union taking any
action.
In conversation with The Spy man.
Mr.. Pierce said: "It is very evident
that some one besides myself is out for
the presidency of the state federation.
| may not be a candidate again, but if
l am not, 1t will not be because L am
forced to resign. 1t is nonsensical to
talk of resigning, when 1 have but a
few months to serve.
II know that ! have the support of
the Boston delegation, and if 1 decide
to again be candidate, l am sure of
president, longer than any other man
ever held the office, and each year since
the first, there has always been talk of
defeating me, or forcing me into resig-
nation
Local labor leaders say that there is
a shrewd game being concocted by the
Boston aspirants for the office. It is
said that a young politician is putting
out quite a bit Of the long green. lust
to get the state presidency as a bait
for political votes. 1t is said Mr.. Muir
ray would get a chilly reception if he
attempted to have local men advocate
his candidacy for the office

THE THAYER DIAMONDS.
Twenty Thousand Dollars
Worth of Jewels
Still Missing.

Mrs. Bayard Thayer, who is we'll
Known in Worcester. sister of the late
John Simpkins. congressman from the
Thirteenth district, arrived at Sandy
side, the elegant summer mansion Of
the Simpkins family at Yarmouthport,
Saturday night in a special car, with
out the slightest knowledge of the
whereab bouts of her three stolen rings.
Mr.. Thayer, who is also at Sandyside,
stated that, contrary to report, no clue
has yet been found to identify or locate
the person or persons who have in their
possession the $4,000 worth of missing
jewels stolen at the Holland house,
New York, June 10, so far as is known
TO him. No communication has ever
been received by the police or by Mr..
Jacobs.
Said Mr.. Thayer: THE Raymon
story. in which it is stated that GER
tain party has admitted having the
gems, but will not give them up I'M
less a satisfactory reward is offered, is
all rot Mr.. Thayer further said
while we hope that the Boston and
New York police to whom I have given
the particulars and full description of
the missing valuables, will in time re-
cover the rings stolen from my wife's
room at the Holland house. as yet
immediate recovery
There have been conflicting stories
about the loss of the rings, but Mrs.
Thayer is positive that they We're stolen
from her room at the Holland on June
Is. Every possible means is being
taken by Mr.. Thayer to get back the
rings, which are not only valuable from
financial view, but highly cherished
as tokens of his wife's marriage As
the bands are marked plainly with the
Initials 'tR. ST. which stand for Mrs.
Thayer's maiden name she feels con-
fdent that eventually the rings will be
restored to her.
That Henry E. Jacobs, 81 Wall street,
New York. has offered a reward for
these lost jewels can be accounted for
by the fact that Mr.. Jacobs has for
some years had charge of the financial
and business affairs of the Simpkins
family.

AT THE OLD SOUTH.
Rev. Daniel Evans Speaks on Immortality
and Love.

anu LONCe
Rev. Daniel Evans, pastor of North
Avenue Congregational church of Cam
bridge, filled the pastorate of Old South
church yesterday. His evening sermon
from the theme, Love and immortali-
ty,' was delivered before a large sum
mer congregation, members of the
church having remembered a previous
visit of Rev. Mr. Evans. He said in
part:
A contradiction arises between hu-
man love and the providence of God
when the object of love is removed by
death. The demands of loved ones for
Immortality have given the world its
greatest literary contributions on the
subject No demands for an immortal
ity of influence nor of absorption in the
Deity will satisfy the demands; only
the individuality will.
There is a personal growth and pro-
gress of the soul. Souls grow here and
their growth gives us joy, and the souls
that grow hereafter in all the great
moral qualities, live here. Love de-
mands personal fellowship and recog-
milton in heaven. Recognition will be
Of soul by soul, and the communion will
be Of things divine and holy Christ
revelation Of heaven verifies and CON
firms all these demands Of love. The
comfort that comes in this great truth
in the hours of our bereavement is
blessed. 1t also widens the horizons OF
The minds of man so that heaven comes
into his range Of thinking. This sug-
gests preparation that is necessary for
fellowship with the beloved dead.
The male quartet gave special music
during the morning and evening SER
vice.
