DEATH OF HIRAM SIBlEY.
Close of Long and Useful Career
Sketch of the Man.


ROCHESTER, N. Y, July 13.-Mr. Hiram
Sibley, a well-known capitalist and finan-
cier of Rochester, N. Y, and who was one
of the founders of the Western Union Tel
egraph Company and one of the builders
of the original railroad telegraph line to
the Pacific coast, died at his home in this
city.
Hiram Sibley was born at North Adams,
Mass, February 6, 1907. When a young man
he became master of five different
trades. He was one of the first pro.
motors of the electric telegraph and was
the first president of the Western Union Com
pany. During the sixteen years he occupied
that position the number of offices grew
from 1872 to over 1900, and the value of the
property from $4,000 to S4S0O0.0O0. Aft
er that he became interested in railroads in
the South and West, and also acquired large
lumber and salt interests. He was probably

ing large farms in several States. Mr. S;bley
opened his seed store in Chicago in 1878, and

proportions. His estate is valued at many

' ZONE dose of tea in the twenty-four
hours is quite sufficient" says Lon
don exchange, land many people who
are at present troubled with headaches
and many of the so-called nervous dis
eases, would be far better if they never
drank tea at all. Especially should all
avoid that very great mistake known
as high tea. Tea and meat should
never be taken together, at least as
forming the principal meal. The tan
min, an important constituent of the tea,
prevents the digestion of the meat.
