“ROOSEVELT WAS EAGER TO MEET
J. D. ARCHBOLD FOR QUIET TALK”
So Wrote Joseph Sibley to the
Chief Official of Standard
Oil Trust.
ADDED THAT PRESIDENT
URGED HIM TO COME
He Tells, in Letter to Hearst’s
Magazine. How U. S. Sena
tor Wanted SI,OOO.
Under the heading, "More Standard
Oil Letters." HEARST'S MAGAZINE
for October, out this week, gives fur
ther as'onishing evidence in the hand
writing of John D. Archbold and his
bought-and-paid-for bosses and law
makers of the efficacy of Standard cash
in purchasing legislation and debauch
ing legislators.
In the following leter an idea is
e ivrn <>f the flirtation carried out be
tween those "Two practical men," Mr.
Roosevelt and Mr. Archbold:
House of Representatives.
Washington, D. C,
Wednesday. Jan. 6, 1904.
My Pear Mr. Archbold:
Your telegram received. Sorry
you can't run over for a day. Think
It most important that you know
the situation. The president was
"delighted”' to know that he had
been misled as to the attitude of
the S O. Co.. or rather "delighted”
to know that the report was un
true. I think you can put in a very
profitabl" hour over here. I know
who told him, but I can not repeat
it. I asked you and Mr. Rogers a
question at the lunch table yester- v
day. that, if you chance to remem
ber it, may afford a clew. I much
pirfci that you learn the situation
from 'he i resident's own lips and
not fr mi nv.
Ur°;ed to Meet Him.
He urges strongly that you come
over and meet him, and said he
want'd you at luncheon where he
could have a quiet talk with you..
I ion not solve the* motives of the
ones who put him on the wrong
truck, but ho was there and told
m» • -tory so far as I would let
im to I finally said. "Please
do rot t li me, but if Mr. Archbold
comes ovi r you till him.”
In offi' i:'.' life the invitation of
the pi' -iiient is regarded in the na
ture of i c ommand, tfnd our friend
probably • onstru's it so, as strong
ly as any one.
Should you wish to meet him, or
wish not to do so, please tell me,
and 1 will make excuse or arrange
ments as vo l indicate. If you can't
run over this week, can you come
next You will get a first-class re
ception and will have a great sur
prise. 1 shall keep track of mat
t' rs of general intc rest. The puz
zle. however, is no longer a Wash
ington but a Nev.- York one, and the
Nev.- York situation is Greek to
me. Pl <c command me in any
way. . nd belli ve me,
Sincerely yours,
JOS. C. SIBLEY.
The "book business” fetched
down the game the very first shot.
You had bette r r ad at least the
titles of those volumes to refresh
your memory before you come over.
The hoy has just told me you would
call me at 7 o'clock on 'phone.
J. C. S.
In another letter to Archbold, dated
Washington, November 23, 1903, and
marked "Personal and Confidential,”
Slblej says, in part:
My Dear M. A.: A "Rep." U. S.
Senator came to m° today to make
a loan of SI,OOO. 1 told him I did
not have it but would try and get
it for him and would let him know
in a day er two. Do you want to
make the investment'.’ He is one
'■'no will do anything in the world
that is right to his friends if ever
needed. Please telegraph me YES
or Xt >.

AMERICAN MEN NOT
ABLE “FLIRTS.” SAYS
FOREIGN SONGBIRD
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24. —Amer-
ican men. no matter what the classifi
cation, whether millionaires or Pull
man car conductors, face the terrible
indictment from the lips of Mme. del
Garcia de Paelcere, a noted singer of
Europe, of knowing nothing about flir
tation.
They are rude, not to say rough and
boisterous, according to mauame. They
lack the finesse of the European gen
tleman. It is their idea to haul around
by the arm a lady they would charm,
when the lady’s arm has nothing what
ever to do with her heart. They have
not manneis, they can not tell wheth
er a lady would flirt or not. and the
rich ones are the worst of all.
These accusations —and more besides
—were voiced by the chic and pretty
Mme. de Paelcere on her ariival in San
Francisco yesterday from Madrid and I
Vienna. She began her little speech j
with a shrug.
"The trouble is that in America there
is nothing exclusive. The common
people—the peasants—-are all so rich.
They go everywhere, they live in the
best hotels and ride in the parlor trains
and you do not stop them. It would
not be so bad, but they all seem to want
to flirt, and even they don’t know how,"
SPARROW PIES SOLVE
HIGH COST OF LIVING
IN NEW JERSEY TOWN
“That little cock-sparrow
Shall make me a stew,”
Said the naughty boy, "Yes,
And a little pie, too.”
—Nursery Rhyme.
NEW YORK, Sept. 24.—" High cost
of living" is no longer a question with
the residents of Nut ley. N: J., thanks*
to the ingenuity of former Fire Chief
Harry H. Stager, which has been the
means of supplying without cost the i
principal ingredient for pot pies and ■
soup.
The ivy-covered walls of the town
hall have become the home of hundred; 1
of sparrows, and the continuous noise ;
made by the birds has become such a ;
nuisance that it interferes with th" 1
work of the officials.
Stager, who was appealed to. spread
a huge net from the roof, in which the
birds as they fly out from the vines are
entrapped. Stager has captured morel
I than six hundred birds and has found:
|no trouble in giving them away. It is
; clainied that the pies made from these ■
I birds are delicious.
TREASURY SEAL OLDER
THAN U.S. GOVERNMENT
I .
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.—The de
i sign of the seal of the treasury of tin
I United States in all its essential fea
tures is older than the national gov
ernment.
This interesting fact has just been
developed by an investigation by the
treasury department tracing the his- I
tory of the seal. The continental con- i
gress ordered its construction Septem- j
I ber 26, 1778, appointing John Wither- |
spoon. Gouvenor Morris and R. H. Let
a committee on design. There is iu j
record of the report of the commit- :
tee, but impressions of the seal have .
been found as earlv as 1782.

buy his bride-elect a trousseau, took
carbolic acid at his home at 7:40 a. in. j
and died an hour later at the city hos
pital. He was seventeen years old.
In the last four days, according to his

lost in a game which is said to run !
nightly on a vacant lot known as "the j

purpose near the city were purchased, and
a great deal of interest is being mani
fested.

T. B. PLANS DASH
INTO TENNESSEE
Colonel Will Strike Into Volun-
teer State After Atlanta
Speech This Week.
TULSA, 0K1.A.. Sept. 24. —Into the
South came Colonel Roosevelt today to
try to win this state over to the Pro
gressive cause. Roosevelt urged a
crowd at the depot, where he spoke
from the rear platform of his special
train, “to break away from the old par
ties and support the only party that is
fighting the bosses.
"Think it over and see ,what you can
expect from the boss-controlled Re
publican party that stole a nomination
and the boss-ridden Democratic part}'
that turned down the man who carried
the primaries in nearly every state,”
said the colonel.
"If you can not see that you are vot
ing the boss' way if you go with the
Democratic or Republican parties, then
you are not alive to the real situa
tion.”
The itinerary for the remainder of
the campaign, after the ex-president
completes this swing around the circle,
was announced on the special train to
day. The colonel's managers have add
ed one day to the present trip to give
Roosevelt an opportunity to stump
Tennessee next Monday. He goes into
Tennessee from Atlanta, swinging
through the western part of the state.
His principal speeches will be at Chat
tanooga and Knoxville. From there he
proceeds on to North Carolina, finish
ing up his four weeks tour next Tues
day night at Raleigh.
Goes Back West Again.
Roosevelt gets back to New York on
Wednesday noon and goes to Oyster
Bay for a day’s rest. On Friday he
goes to Washington to testify before
the committee investigating campaign
contributions. The colonel will repeat
largely what he said in his recent let
ter to Senator Clapp, chairman of the
committee. After testifying in Wash
ington, Roosevelt will return to Oyster
Bay to stay until Monday, when he
goes upon a ten days trip through the
middle West.
On that trip he will visit Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michi
gan. On his way back to New York he
will likely spend two days In Pennsyl
vania. After two days of rest in New
York, the third party candidate will
launch upon a five days invasion of the
New England states. After that he will
devote himself to New York state, giv
ing nearly a week up to the night of
election to the Empire State.
iFUNERACFLOWERS
PUT UNDER BAN BY
PRIEST; TOO COSTLY
| NEW HAVEN, CONN., Sept. 24
’ Finding that the practice of giving
flowers at funerals has led his parish
ioners into debt, Rev. Father Walter
Shanley, pastor of St. Peters, in Dan
bury. today issued orders forbidding it.
"Money spent for flowers sent to fu
nerals might much better be expended
for other uses," said the priest. “Many
times bills are contracted for floral
tributes which it is difficult to pay for
months, and which are finally paid only
ar the sacrifice of personal discom
fort.”
Some time ago Father Shanley for
bade members of his parish bringing
funeral flowers into the church, but this
warning failed to produce the desired
effect.
Rev. John Coyle, pastor of St. Johns
church in this city, said that he had al.
ready taken similar, although not sue!
! radical, action.

DON'T POLL OUT
THE GRAY HAIRS
A Few Applications of a
Simple Remedy Will
Bring Back the Nat
ural Color.
“Pull out one gray hair and a dozer
will take its place.” is an old saying
which Is. to a great extent, true, if nc
stops are taken to stop the cause. Wher
gray hairs appear It Is a sign that Na
ture needs assistance. It is Nature’s
call for help. Gray hair, dull, lifeless
hair, or hair that is falling out, is not
necessarily a sign of advancing age, sot
there are thousands of elderly people
with perfect heads of hair without a
single streak of gray.
When gray hairs come, or when tha
hair seems to be lifeless, or dead, some
good, reliable hair-restoring treatment
should be resorted to at once. Special
ists say that one of the best prepara
tions to use is the old-fashioned “sage
tea" which our grandparents used. The
best preparation of this kind is Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, a prep
aration of domestic sage and sulphur,
scientifically compounded with later
discovered hair tonics and stimulants,
the whole mixture being carefully bal
anced and tested by experts.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is clean
and wholesome and pei fectly harmless.
It refreshes dry, parched hair, removes
dandruff and gradually restores faded
or gray hair to its natural color.
Don't delay another minute. Start
using Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur at
once and see what a difference a few
days' treatment will make in your hair.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
1 recommended and sold by all drug
gists,
