67 YEARS AGO
FAMOUS MINSTREL "D0NES'
Old Actor Built 100000 Country

New York.-Sixty seven years ago
William T. Murphy, Brooklyn boy
with longing for adventure, joined
the "forty-niners" in their rush for
gold in the far west, worked his way
across the continent by driving cara
vans and began a new existence as a
boatman on the Sacramento river.
The call of the stage soon claimed him
and he became an actor.
In a modest apartment in the old
Herald Square Hotel in West Thirty
ourth street this man-known thu
country over as Joe" Murphy-died
of pneumonia after a short illness,
leaving an estate valued, ii il said at
more than $3,000,000.
Joe" was reputed to have been tt >
Iichest actor in America. He invested
in savings banks and money saved in
d career of over half century and
his fortune Is scattered between he"r

He was heard to whisper just be-
lore the end something about not
spending much money on my funeral"
and his last wish was to he buried
with the "b-nes" that he played ~
his first engagement with Dick Hoo
ey,s Minstrels in 1849. The actor was
83 years Did and is survived by wild

For 20 years Joe" Murphy worked

west In 1870 he came east again,
starting in business for himself, an
appearing in an Irish play Gale J
Help" at the Bowery Theater. Then
Fred Marsden wrote 1.-THE Kerry Cow
and Mr.. Murphy created the leading
role and played in the piece all over
the United States, appearing in ii In
New York at the Grand Opera House
In 1878
The next Irish play made famous
by Murphy was shaun Rhue,' in
whic, he played continuously from
1880 to seven years ago, when he re-
tired from the stage. There were In
lermittent intervals when Joe appear
ed in vaudeville as a minstrel under
the management of Keith & Proctor
and on the Stair Halvin circuit. 1t
was said that he was more widely

sion than any other man or woman
on the American stage.
Mr.. Murphy had an Unsuitable desire
to hoard money and never wasted p

t34 BABIES IN 1000 DIE
IN MINING TOWNS
Percentage Smaller in the Suburbs-
Relation of Mortality to Wages
Sought.

Washington, ID. C.-The Children's.
Bureau is conducting a detailed in
quiry into the social and economic
causes of babies deaths. The annual
report of the bureau shows that the
two items of the inquiry completed
during the last year disclose an av-
erage infant death rate of 134 out OF
every 1000 babies in a steel-making
and coal mining town, against rate
of 81 per 1000 in a residential sub
urb.
An even greater contrast Is fourd
between the most congested section
and the choicest residential section in
each of these two communities. Com
menting on these findings the report
says:
"The more favorable the civic and
family surroundings and the better
the general conditions of life, the
more clearly are they reflected in a
lessened infant mortality"
The report shows, however that no
deductions can be made about the -
iation between the general infant
mortality rate and industrial employ
ment of women until the facts about
the number and proportion of mothers
Il work contained in the unpublishe'
census returns are made available by
tabulation.
Meanwhile the Children's Bureau Is
pursuing its inquiry into the relation
r babies deaths to wages and social
conditions, believing that the inquiry
will prove increasingly valu' lie as
stimulus to more active protection CT
he youngest and tenderest lives
throughout the nation"
Such practical results have already
followed the inquiry in two communi-
ties as the securing of infant welfare
nurses, improving the milk supply
and rousing community interest in
kindred activities.

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay Gray! Here's an
old-time Recipe that Any
body can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded. gray hair TO its natural
color dates back to grandmother's time.
She used it TO keep her hair beautifully
dark. glossy and attractive. Whenever
her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mixture
was applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-ofdate. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for 80 cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound"
you will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair.
A well-known downtown druggist says
it darkens the hair so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied. You simply dampen a. sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one strand at
a time. BY morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application or
two, it becomes beautifully dark and
glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is a delightful toilet requisite for those
who desire a more youthful appearance.
It is not intended for the cure, mitigation
or prevention of disease.
