SENATOR SHIvELY DEAD.
Indiana Statesman Had Been Ill Many
Months

WASHINGTON, March ID. - Benia-
min f. Shively, IS, senior senator from
Indiana, and for years a prominent
figure in congress, died late yesterday
at hospital in this city. He had been
Ill many months from a complication
of diseases and for more than a year
had been unable to perform actively
his official duties.
During three terms in the house and
the seven years he had been in the
senate, Senator Shively had devoted
his activities particularly to foreign af
fairs and tariff legislation. At the
time of his death he was ranking Demo-
cratic member of the foreign relations
committee, of which he had been acting
chairman during the critical period pre-
cedlng and following the American oc-
cupatlon of Vera Cruz.
The announcement of Mr.. Shivelv :
death was received with many mani
festatlons of sorrow in both the SEN
ate and house. Senator Kern, his col
league, in announcing it in the SEN
ate, said he was performing the saddest
duty of his official life. Both there
and in the house resolutions of regret
were adopted, committees were appoint
ed TO attend the funeral, and adjourn
ment was taken as a further mark of
respect. He was a lawyer by profession
and his home was in South Bend

BOSTON & MAINE
PUTS ON EMBARGO
viii Ship Only Perishable Goods and
Livestock to New Haven Road IN
til Sidings Can Be Cleared.

An embargo on all freight, except
perlshable goods and livestock, for
points on the New York, New Haven
4 Hartford railroad, or for other points
by way of that line, went into effect
on the Boston & Maine railroad last
night at midnight. An embargo on
all export shipments from New York
has been in effect for some time.
The New Haven road raised an en-
barge yesterday that had been effective
for two weeks and the Boston & Maine
railroad Immediately clapped on one.
The New Haven had been tied up with
shipments they could not handle and
had refused cars from the Boston g.
Name. Now that the Boston & Maine
is to be permitted to move cars it has
been holding for the New Haven it pro.
poses to protect itself from being tied
up until 1t can unload on the New Ha-
ven what 1T now has on sidings.
These embargoes, which are being
placed on and raised at intervals by
nearly all railroads, are playing fast
and loose with small or occasional ship
pers as well as with the larger regular
Shippers. There appears no other way
out OF the difficulty at present that
the railroads have been able to devise.
In the meantime the man who has
a box or barrel taken to the freight
house for shipment is as likely as not
to be told that it cannot be accepted
then and no information can be given
him as to when it can be accepted for
shipment by any particular route.

TURN HAIR DARK
With SAGE TEA
Grandma kept her locks dark, glossy
and youthful with simple mixture
of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

The old-rime mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening grew,
streaked and faded hair is grandmoth-
er s recipe, and folks are again using
it to keep their hair a good, even col
or, which is quite sensible, as we are
living in an age when a youthful APP
pearanee is of the greatest advantages.
Nowadays, though, we don t have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod
net, improved by the addition of 9th
er ingredients, called "Wyeth s Sage
and sulphur Compound - for about 80
cents bottle. 1t is very popular be-
cause nobody can discover it has been
applied. Simply moisten your comb or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at q time; by morning the grew
hair disappears, but what delights the
ladies' with Wyeth 5 Sage and Sulphur
Compound, is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after a few appli-
cations, it also produces that soft lustre
and appearance of abundance which is
so attractive. This ready-to-use prepa.
ration is a delightful toilet requisite
tor those who desire a more youthful
appearance. 1t is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of dis
case.

A Bellows Falls resident, who was pres

point blank if Brattleboro wanted base
ball this year Bellows Falls did and
does he declared.
He admitted that B. F. still owes be-
tween $500 and 5000 for the last season,
but attributes that deficiency to the in
ability to play the last two or three games
of the schedule
He admitted that he, personally, is sick
of helping pay back bills to support
team, but he wants baseball. Everyone
concerned in the discussion, which be-
came general, would like to see league
baseball in Brattleboro and Bellows
Falls, but not one of them would lift fin

two towns have had
Everyone concerned agreed that the

paying far more for ball players that the

elsewhere and that it ought to be stopped
