SLANDER SUIT SETTLED.
Amicable Agreement Reached in
the BertOli. Mangan Case.

Through their attorneys, Joseph JEFF
freys, for the plaintiff, and NJ. j. Nc
Andrew, for the defendant, the slander
suit for $1,000 damages instituted by
John BertOli against Patrick Mangan,
was yesterday amicably settled.
One day last September Mangan went
out to the front of his place Of business
on North Main avenue to watch a
parade. During his short absence some
one ritled his cash drawer for $21. He
made inquiries, forthwith and learned
that BertOli who worked in a store next
door, had been seen coming out from
the rear Of Mangan's place at about
the time the theft was committed.
Mangan questioned BertOli and the
latter waved wroth to think that he
was suspected of being q thief. He in
stituted suit for $4,000 damages and
declared in his affirmation that he had
been called "a d thief" After
cooling down however Bertoli thought
he could get along without the $1,000
and indicated as much to Mangan's
attorney. A basis of settlement was
agreed upon and now they are neigh
bOrly once more.

trade. Mr.. Mears and Mr.. Hagen early
established the principle that their
business would be most successful If
conducted along conservative lines.
and to carry out this idea they have
refrained from any catch-penny
schemes to draw an undesirable trade.
The result is seen in the excellent class
of custom accorded their store.
Originally the store occupied but one
single street number on Lackawanna
avenue, but recently its street floor
space was doubled and three floors for
stocking goods acquired in the upper
part of the building. On the second
floor is a comfortably furnished ladies
parlor. the first to be established
among the large retail stores of the
city.

of experience. In no department is
there a novice. The firm claims to pos

tiated by observation in the store. the

American Horses Abroad.

Something like 100000 horses are

clared a prominent horse dealer In this

'They go TO all parts Of the world

WOMAN AND THE WHEEL.

= T you are woman II Is your
bounden duty to call down bless
Il ings upon the head of him who nrst
made a wheel which woman could
ride. 1t was great day-a white DAY
for the sex and the race when woman
mastered the graceful art of riding; Tor
by the wheel she has reached many
things most desirable. From the max
ers and sellers of wheels, comes the
good news that the output of wheels
for women this year will be not only
greatly in excess of any past year, but
more wheels for women will be made
than for men. The news is good news,
because of its cheering significance. 1t
means that many women will be more
in the open air and sunshine than ever
before in their lives; 1t means that
their fiabby muscles will grow firm and
strong, their eyes bright and quick,
that their cheeks will lose their sickly
cost and will glow with life-in short,
that the thousands of women who ride
" ~ become healthy creatures in mind
and body. And every improvement
thus made In personal health means a
corresponding gain In public health, so
that we are all better for every wheel
sold to a woman.-Womankind.

Fashion has decreed that evening
coiffures shall not appear without or

woman's hair Is never seen without a
decoration of some kind. Coitfures
have not for years been so elaborate,
and they can reasonably demand beau
tiful combs and pins of all descriptions.
Little, soft, bobbing curls are universal
ly worn, and they are held in place by
a diamond or jeweled side-comb or pin.
The hair is much waved on the sides in
deep, undulating ripples, and the con-
tour of the head is often improved by a
light, delicately wrought gold comb,
which holds the hair closer TO the head

Thibet's Picture Tree.

From time to time wonderful stories
have been circulated in Europe concern
ing a mysterious tree in Thibet, which
has been called 1.-The tree of 10000 pic
lures" Travellers have related that
on each leaf of this sacred tree. on the
branches and all over the trunk, are
letters of the Thibetan alphabet or re-
ligious pictures; 1t was even asserted
only a short time ago that a large sum
of money had been offered for cutting
from this marvellous tree by a traveller
who had seen it.
Botanists have smiled at and ridi-
culed the existence of such tree, only
had been seen. At last the truth has
been made known by a Buddhist con
vert to Christianity.
In the village of louisa is a monas-
terry of 5000 lamas or Buddhist priests.
To support these priests a considerable
sum of money is required, so at some
far-off time the idea of this tree was
evolved On a moonless night in spring
one of the lamas armed with a set of
stamps, imprints upon the leaves and
bark of the tree the characters of the
alphabet, short invocations to Buddha
and various rough outline drawings of
priests and religious symbols.
The leaves and pieces of bark are
sold to the credulous believers and Wis.
itors, and the money thus obtained
helps to support the grand army of
lamaS
