The sensational item in yesterday
mornings Times about Dottie Manning,
or Minnie Petit, as her true name Is, has
no other foundation than that she has
escaped from the tin.horn gambler who
has been preying upon her earnings. 1t
is stated by those who know her that
she Is not given to drink, that II IL not
true that she had any difficulty with her
landlady, and there is no ground for the
supposition that suicide has been com.
mitted. 1t is quite probable that the
public has less interest In her where
abouts than the pencil pusher Of the
truly moral paper.
The editor of the HERALD Is indebted
to Mr.. G.. Tononi for couple of cases
of the excellent wines for which his
house has obtained such an envisbls

capabilities of our soil and climate and
by the sagscious adoption of foreign va
rieties of grapes, Mr.. Tononi has sue
ceeded in making claret that will sus-
tain favorable comparison with the
beat imported wines. He has been
equally successful with his white brands.
BY intelligent devotion to his business
and infexible honesty in manipulating
his goods, our fellow citizen has amassed
q handsome fortune and has approved
himself to be public benefactor as
well.
