 TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up Mixture of Saqe Tea and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
 Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tta and Sulphur, properly compound ed. brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded streaked or gray; also ends dandruf. itching scalp and stops falling hair.

 Don't stay gray, Try il, No one can possibly tell that you darkeaed your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen 9 sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at time by morning the gray hair disappears. and after another ap plication or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy.

City Clerk Robinson was hidden behind a huge bouquet of roses, May or Wilson received 8 big bouquet of yellow chrysanthemuns as well as several baskets of other flowers. -,s
 All the windows were closed tightly and the odor of the flowers together with cigarette smoke which came from the spectators gallery made the air almost unbearabIe.

Frank Braithwaite, who will be the next assistant city clerk, was on hand to get a, line on his duties and he was given handsome floral basket by the members of the Columbia Yacht club

JOHN KENDRICK BANGS
 DELIGHTS BIG AUDIENCE

Members of the Bridgeport Art league. and their guests. who long have admired the clever writings Of John Kendrick. Bangs, greeted in the hunorist an intensely human person. when at the Stratheld yesterday, for nearly two hours. he entertained with an address on "SalubrItiee I Have Met MT. Bangs lecture was largely attended. He brought his auditors into close personal contact with many men and women of whom they have been reading for years, and by deft word pictures he outlined the personal sides of their characters in most interesting manner.
 MT Bangs address teemed with good hEmor, but there was now and then a touch of Pathos as he turned occasion ally to the griefs of the 'fsalubritiesf of whom he spoke. He had been speak ing but a few moments when he had complete possession of his auditors, and syvayed their emotions at will
 introduced by Mrs. Herbert M, Knapp MT. Bangs started the good fuhnor at once by thanking the pres ident of the league for the briefest and most Iaudatory obituary of himself that he had ever heard. Then he launched into what partook more of the nature of a heart to heart talk with his audience than of the set speech, or formal lecture.

Bingham, Utah, Dec. 2-One hun dred pounds of sulphur an hour has been burning in the Minnie mine since 2:S0 o'clock yesterday afternoon in an attempt either to kill or smoke out Ralph Lopez, the Mexican bandit who has killed five men since he became e a fugitive 2 days ago after muFdering one of his eountFYmen-
 Sheriff Smith said today he would not allow his men to take any more risks of being shot and that he would not open the mine for another search for Lopez for 4S hours from the time the fires wore started, until Wednes= day afternoon therefore the sulphur fumes will continue to be forced into the mine.
 There is but little doubt that Lopez, living or dead, still is in the mine where he has been hiding since last Friday night, A hundred deputies re- mained on guard throughout the night but no sound came from the mine. The last word from the fugitive was hear yesterday when he called faint ly for his friend and partner, Julio Morano.

CONTRACTOR SAYS
 HE PAID $I5,OOO TO
 EXPEDITE PAYMENT I

New York, Dec. 2-While it has not been decided this m morning whether the John Doe inquiry would be re- stunned this afternoon late in the week, District Attorney Whitman went ahead with plans to submit to the special grand jury testimony to the effect that Richard Aldrich, a Pough- keepsie contractor, had been induced to give up $1,50O to expedite a $17, ,0O0 payment due him for roadwork.
 Aldrich swore that on March 31, 1912, in the presence of two witnesses, he had given the $1,5oO to Thomas Hassett, secretary to the then state engineer, John A. Bensel. Shortly af- ter the payment was made, he said he received the state money.
 In questioning the witness, Mr. Whitman characterized the transac- ton "bribing a public official" The matter will be taken up by the grand jury this week probably on Thursday
 Men from the district attorneys of fee today were on the lookout for Hassett. It was reported that he had sailed some time ago for San Donin- go.
