MRS. JEFFERSON DAVIS GONE
Widow of President of Confederacy
Passed Away in New YOrk-Death
Due to Pneumonia.

New York. - Mrs. jefferson
Davis, widow of the president of the
confederacy, who had been i'll for a
week at the hotel Majestic in this city
died at 1925 o'clock Tuesday night
Death was due to pneumonia induced
by severe cold which Mrs. Davis con
tracted upon her return from the
Adriondacks where she had spent the
summer months. Although grave
fears were felt from the first, Mrs.
Davis wonderful vitality which
brought her safely through a similar
attack a year ago, gave hope of ulti-
mate recovery until Monday night
when decided change for the worse
was evident and the attending ply
sicians announced that the end was
near. 1t was then believed that Mrs.
Davis could not survive the night, but
she rallied slightly during the early
hours of Tuesday.
