PRINCESS CHik;AY LOVES AGAIN
Beautiful American Woman Deserts
Rigo for Boorish italian.

PARIS. July 1.-THE loves of the
P.incess Chimay who was Clara Ward,
have found their sequel in a second and
no less bizarre infatuation for boor-

Prince Chimay's is also Joseph. Odd,
isn't it?"-with a little laugh-"but
there is only one Joseph for me now
kissing Giuseppe again.
Sumptuously gowned. and with elab-
crate couture, the princess had left
nothing undone which might heighten
her loneliness in the eyes of her be-
loved. But the excuses of her life
have left their marks upon her. Her
once striking beauty is married beyond
repair.
During her recital her eyes hardly
ever wandered from the face Of the
italian. She caressed him constantly
and punctuated her remarks with
kisses

REJECTED SUITOR SUICIDES.
lovesick Man Commits Rash Act in
Golden Gate Park.

SAN FRANCISCO. July ia well
dressed man, apparently about 50 years
old, shot himself through the head in
Golden Gate park after pawnins his
watch to secure the money with which
he bought the revolver.
Before making the final prepara-
tons for his suicide, the man wrote q
letter to Coroner Leland. saying that
he intended to take poison, because he
had been badly deceived by a faithless
woman. The identity OF the man has
not been ascertained
Jewelry that he wore was engraved
with the initials wv B." while in a
bill book that he carried was the pawn
ticket that he had received when he
secured the money with which he
bought the revolver.
Fictitious Name Given.
According to the signature on the
ticket the suicide was James II. Han
ley of Chicago, but this is not thought
to be his correct name. The dead
mans letter to the coroner follows:
"Deserted-that is what | have re-
ceived for trusting a heartless woman.
and now l will leave by this short
route, as | do not want to live to be
tempted by another. | will not die a
h, I'd n 70 7
drugs, and l will go to some desert
place, probably the park. and go to
sleep, never to wake again in this
world.
No Harm to Woman.
DO the faithess woman no harm.
My God, no: that is not my creed. A
life for life? No: she can live and
repent till the judgment day, unless she
does the same thing to some one that
may take the law in his own hands. I
am not insane. | am perfectly sound
minded. By shutdown tomorrow l will
be no more.
Give it to the papers, so that she
may read it or see what her faithless-
ness has done. | hope that God will
forgive me for this rash act. My
name | will not sign, as | am very we'll
known in this city, and the name of
the woman | hold sacred, for / will die
loving her with my last breath. Good
bye, dear coroner"
The letter was written with pencil
on two pages of letter paper and in a
hand that showed the owner not to
have been very highly educated.

bill they would be called upon to pay,
and now each is telling his friend how
to get him in hole where he had to
leave his watch as a guarantee OF
payment.
Jeff sized up the bill of fare and or
dered a couple of dozen raw oysters,
a double order of shrimp salad and a
plate of young onions for an appetizer.
Then began one of the greatest four
round contests between a heavy weight
meal and a convalescent pugilist yet
on record.
