financial nature; that the breaking Of
ner engagement to Count Puccini was
not due to any financial reason nor
any fault upon her part, but solely to
the fact that during his absence in
Europe she became aware that she felt
a stronger attachment for the man She
married. She also begs me to state
that her letter containing the final
breaking off Of the engagement was
addressed to Count Puccini at Rome
but that unfortunately, he was absent
from Rome at the time, and sailed be-
fore the letter reached Rome.
I'm view of these statements con-
corning Count Puccini's relations to
the affair have been not only unjust
but so cruei that Mrs. Sproule con-
siders it her duty, in justice to an hon.
orable man, to make public this state
ment.'
Count Puccini is a nephew of the late
Pope Leo.

"'What harm, madam, can ensue

OFFERS TO MEET JACK REILLY
IN WALLA WALLA AT 154
OR 1856 POUNDS.
Fall at Spokane-Men May
Be Matched.

Jim Burrows, who defeated Jack
Reilly in 10 rounds in a hard fought
battle at Spokane last fall, writes the
sporting editor of the Statesman that
he is willing to meet Reilly again in
Walia Walla on any terms suitable to
Reilly. He stipulates that Reilly must
weigh in either at 154 or 156 pounds.
Reilly is in Portland at present but the
of the Olympic Athletic
club will make an effort to match up
the pair.
Although Reilly was defeated by
Burrows, many claim who saw the
fight that it was a chance punch that
put him away and that it was any,
bodys fight until the end came. Bur-
rows has fought two draws with Jerry
Mccarthy, who defeated Reilly in nine
rounds at Spokane two weeks ago.

The Willy Butcher.

Miss Marion Winchester, the Ameri-
can girl who is known in Paris as the
Sugar Queen on account Of her sue
cessful sugar speculations, has a repu-
tatiOn for cynical humor.
MRS. Winchester" says a New York
woman, was recently called on for a
toast at the annual dinner of woman's
club.
''She spoke very brightly. she made
many keen, swift thrusts at the faults
of women. 1 remember how she at
tackled women's vanity.
There was a butcher, she said, who
in a season Of depression went to a
great expense. He put up behind his
counter tremendous mirror. Con-
corning this innovation someone said:
why has the butcher put up that
large and costly mirror behind mis-
counter?'

To prevent the servant girls from

The Henpecked Governor.

Senator German was talking about a
statesman whose great talents are
coupled with an unusual gentleness of
disposition.
Poor fellow said Senator German.
"He lets himself, perhaps, be imposed
upon. His wife henpecks him. But he
told me once that he would rather be
henpecked any time than make a row
and cause pain.
Then he told me how, when he was
governor, he had a page boy, little
fat page boy in tight blue suit with
brass buttons. One day the page boy
committed some crime-stole postage
stamps, kicked the cook, or something
of that kind-and the governor, in his
gentle way, set out to give him little
religious admonition.

Willie Pitcoe, that there is a higher
power always watching us?'

men and he would kill, but he would
not kill in a fair fight. He would not
attack a man where there was the
slightest question of danger to him
self. One incident illustrated this.
Threatened the Assessor.
Miller made the threat that if AS
SCISSOR Maycomber came near his place
he would kill him. Maycomber was
told. Taking a friend along as a wit
ness the assessor went to Miller's
place, and Miller was as meek as a
lamb and allowed his property to be
assessed.
Miller was patriarch in appearance.
A long flowing beard reached to mis-
waist. He was an old man, near the
three-score mark. He made a living
by keeping bees and logging.
He leaves a widow. four daughters
and one son. The daughters are Mrs
H. Head, Mrs. J. A. Gosh, Miss Winnie,
aged 10 and Miss Grace, aged 8.
The coroner's jury convened at IL
o'clock today. After examining the
body, the scene and considering the
evidence, verdict was reached that
the shooting was wilful,, that it oc-
Cured from ambush, and that all trail
of the murderer was lost in the heavy
brush. No arrest occurred. The funer-
al will be at p. m. Tuesday.
