The news of the death of Henry F.
| Sproule of San Juan, Porto Rico, was re-
ceived with regret by his relatives and
friends here. No particulars have as yet
been received, but as he was in his usual

very suddenly. His wife who was a

semi-invalid and much sympathy is felt
for her in her bereavement.
