DISASTER IS DIE TO BLIZZARD
Many Women and Children Among
Sophia's Passengers.
JTJNEAU, Alaska, Oct. 28. Indicative
of the terrible storm which caused the
steamer Princess Sophia to plunge from
her rocky ledge on Vanderbilt Reef into
the water of Lynn Canal, were the
statements made by officers of the
Canadian steamer Amy, which returned
from the scene of the wreck yesterday.
The officers said two feet of snow
fell in 40 hours and a strong north
east wind then blowing later devel
oped into the blizzard which was re
sponsible for the Sophia's heavy loss
of life.
When the Amy left the Sophia that
vessel was resting for about two-thirds
of her length on the rocks of the reef,
which is four miles west of Sentinel
Island and half-way between Juneau
and Skagway. The Sophia was then
taking on water.
She was surrounded by deep water on
both sides, but with only her stern
over deep water it was thought there
was no danger of the steamer sliding
off the rocks. The reef was covered,
however, at half-tide and the heavy
seas had prevented attempts to ttke
off the passengers.
The Sophia's only cargo was said to
have consisted of 40 horses.
At 8 o'clock last night the last mes
sage from Captain Locke, of the Sophia,
was received. Today the Government
tender Cedar, which had been standing

masts were visible. The Cedar remained

ACTRESS TELLS SECRET
A Well-Kaowm Actress Tells How t.
Darken Gray Hair With a Simple
Home Made Mixture.
Jolcey Williams, the well - known
American actress, who was recently
playing at the Imperial Theater in St.
Louis, Mo., made the following state
ment about gray hair and how to dark
en it:
"Anyone can prepare a 6lmple mix
ture at home, at very little cost, that
will darken , gray streaked or faded
hair, and make it soft and glossy. To
a half pint of water add 1 ounce of bay
rum, a small box of Barbo Compound,
and hi ounce of glycerine. These in
gredients can be bought at any drug
store at very little cost, or any drug
gist can put it .up for you. Apply to
the hair twice a week until the desired
shade is obtained. This will make a
gray-haired person look 20 years
younger. This is not a dye. It does not
color the most delicate scalp. Is not
sticky or greasy and does not rub off.
