in Ghirardelli "Limerick" Contest
An opinion by the Assistant Attorney-General
of the United States has
made it necessary to change the con-
ditions governing the Ghirardelli
"Limerick" Contest to avoid conflict
with the lottery laws.
As a consequence the canful of sil
ver dollars will be given to the person
or persons who supply the best end'
ing for the rhyme instead of giving
the prize for an ending already de
cided upon, as was at first announced
in these columns. Answers already
received will apply under the new
ruling.

to the rebuilding of the engines; the
boilers suffering from the same
agency of disaster, cold water, with
which they were deluged in their
heated state, warping every active
element of the mechanism to the
point of utter disuse. i
Mr. Schimpf says the work of
restoration will begin on the instant
the insurance people have adjusted
the losses and will be pushed to the
earliest conclusion compatible with
its scope, and that in the meantime
the extensive business will go for
ward as though nothing had hap
pened.
This is the first serious fire Astoria
has experienced in a long time, and
the company, and Mr. Schimpf, have
the sympathy of the business com
munity in the loss and inconvenience
to the untoward event.

FRANK PURCELL, THE SAiE
DRUMMER, REPORTED TO BE
IN GRAVE TROUBLE AT THE
WASHINGTON METROPOLIS.
Yesterday's Portland Oregonian
contained the sub-joined despatch
from Seattle which involves the name
of a man well known in this city,
where he frequently comes in the in
terests of the safe concern he is sup
posed to own and control. He was
here not longer than 10 days ago and
registered at the Hotel Occident; and
is generally known hereabouts as
Frank PurcelL The news will interest
many people in Astoria to -whom Mr.
Purcell is no stranger. The despatch
reads as follows;
"Local society was thrown into' a
furor today by the news that Frank
Purcell was vesterdav sued for di
vorce by Mary A. Moss.Vho alleges
that she was married to Purcell under
the name of Pierce J. Moss. Purcell,
as he is known here, is president and
reputed owner of the Purcell Safe
.Company ,of this city. A few weeks
ago he caused surprise by being seen
in San Francisco with the widow of
the late A. T. Vandevater, racetrack
owner and former State Senator.
"The couple registered at the St
Francis Hotel as Mr. and Mrs. Pur
cell, but the marriage has since been
denied by Purcell and by friends of
the woman.
Mrs. Moss says that she was mar
ried to a man who called himself
Pierce J. Moss, in Boston, October
29, .1895. The woman states that two
years after the wedding her husband
confessed that he had deceived her
as to his name and that he was really
Patrick Frank PurcelL..,
"The plaintiff alleges further that
Purcell was divorced in Seattle from
Mary P. PurcelL to whom he was
married in Clonmel, Ireland, in 1885,
and whom he abandoned in 1899.
Mrs. Purcell declares that the defend
ant owns a one-half interest with
George B. Ceila in the Portland Safe
Company and in the Pacific Safe
Company, of Spokane, and all of the
Purcell Safe Company, of this city.
She says she and Purcell lived to
gether five years in Chicago at the
Lexington Hotel, during which time
Purcell conducted the Kentucky Sales
Stables. After that Purcell, the com
plainant sets forth, engaged in the
liquor business in St. Louis and from
there moved to Portland in 1904.'
