SLANDER SUIT SETTLED.
Amicable Agreement Ilcachcd in
the Hertoli-Mnnsan Cnc.
Through their attorneys, Joseph Jef
freys, tur the plaintiff, and M. J. Mc-
Andrew, for the defendant, the slander
RUlt for J.'i.Oou damages Instituted by
John Rertoll against Patrick Mangan,
was yesterday amicably settled.
One duy 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 titled his cash drawer for $21. He
made inquiries, forthwith and learned
that Bt.rtoll who worked in a store next
door, had been seen coming out from
the rear of Manpan's place at about
the time the theft was committed.
Mangan questioned Bertoll and the
latter waxed wroth to think that he
was suspected of being a thief. He In
stituted suit for $5,000 damages and
declared In his affirmation that he had
been called "a d thief." After
cooling down however Hertoll thought
he could get along without the $5,000
and Indicated as much to Mangan s
attorney. A basis of settlement was
agreed upon and now they are neigh
borly once more.

When the Arm name of Mears &

with the name of the firm and Its gen
cral dry gods business has been con
veyed a knowledge of the fact that the
Btore keeps In stock a large and varied
assortment of dress goods. The suc
cess of the Arm since It started In busi
ness three years ago has been made
possible chlelly through Us dress goods
department.
The space occupied by the original
store room has been Increased two and
one-half times, and now Mears & Hag

the city. Its lighting arrangements
ate pel feet. This Is particularly true
of. the dress goods department. Tlie
windows here face the north, giving the
light from th direction most favorable
to distinguish the different shades of
color. Here Is displayed not only siIks
and dress goods, but trimmings and
every detail that enters Into the mak
ing of a fashionable dress.
The cloak room Is a large department.
Mears & Hagen make a specialty of
ladies' and chlldrens' capes, coats and
suits, and put forth every effort to
secure the most fashionable garments
obtainable. The store contains alt the
other departments necpssary in a first
class dry goods emporium, and employs
a large force of polite and experienced
sales people, who consider It no trou
ble to show goods to customers.
The members nf the firm are Joseph
A. Mears nnd William H. Hagen. both
native Scrantonlans. They have al
ways lived In the city and possess the
spirit and energy which have featured
the city's advancement in all lines of
WILLIAM H. HAGEN.
trade. Mr. Mears and Mr. Hagen early
established the principle that their
business would be most successful if
conducted along conservative lints,
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.
Mears & Hagen employ only clerks
of experience. In no department is
there a novice. The firm claims to pos
sess the most efficient force of salespeo
ple In the city and the claim Is substan
tiated by observation In the store, the
clerks being of mature age and ap
parently a well satisfied working force.

VISITOR FROM THE
ISLAND EMPIRE
Came Here to Make a Study of Our
Methods of Mining Coal
ALSO INTERESTED IN OUR RAILWAYS
U.S. Osbima ofl.nppnro, Japnn, is
Now in the Cily.OIado a Tour of
Inspection of the Dickson Works
lelcrdnyIIe is the Manager of
One of the Largest Mining and
Railway Companies in Japan.
It. Oshtma, of Laparro. Japan, is a
guest at the Jermyn. Mr. Ushima is
manager of one of the largest mining
and railway companies in the "Island
empire" and is in this country to study
our Improved mining methods and
railway systems.
He has been In the United States
about two months and came here yes
terday with the intention of spending
four of five days viewing our mines,
locomotive .works and railways. He
bore letters of Introduction to Ueneral
Coal Agent W. R. Slorrs, of the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western com
pany, and Ueneral Manager C. H. len
der, of the Dickson works, who with
Harry W. Howley. chief draughtsman
of the Dickson company escorted him
about the mines and locomotive works
and saw to It that he was hospitably
entertained.
Mr. Ushima Is about thirty-five years
of nee and In stature Is a little above
the averaae of his countrymen. He Is
highly educated, Iiritrht and pleasant,
and speaks remarkably good English
for one who was never out of Japan
until about two months ago. He re
cti ved his mechanical training in the
College of Tokio. his Instructor being
an English professor.
It is Mr. Oshima's purpose to equip
the company's mines nnd railways
with the most modern machinery. Tho
recent war,. he says, has caused a rise
In the price of labor and It Is necessary
now to begin to economize with labor
saving machinery. There is a general
industrial awakening in Japan, he re

and xvhlch will cause the little Yankee
land of the East to draw away from its
Oriental neighbors.
AMUSEMENTS.
A genuine festival of mirth and mel
ody will be offered by Black Patti's
troubadours on the occasion of their en
gagement at the Frothlngham, which
opens next Monday evening for the
first half of the week, Including a popu
lar priced matinee. This organization
has earned the reputation of being the
best of Its kind ever organized In this
country, and is credited with giving a
performance which embodies a beauti
ful blending of opera, comedy, bur
lesque and vaudeville, embellished with
magnificent costumes and appropriate
scenery and stage settings. There are
fifty people in the company, which in
cludes Black Paul, who is unquestion
ably one of the greatest singers this
generation has heard; Bob Cobs and
Stella, Delsartean dancers; Billy John
son, descriptive vocalists; Gogglns and
Davis, knockabout acrobats; Kings
bury and Cousins, instrumentalists;
De Wolfe sisters, duettlsts, and May
Bohee, the Creole nightingale. In ad
dition there is a well trained chorus of
thirty voices and a march and ballet
contingents of twenty.
Manager Davis offers his pntrons at
Davis' theater something quite away
from the usual run of attractions for
the whole of next week. It will be a
mixed show, consisting of a button
bursting comedy, followed by a num
ber of Hrst-cltis8 specialities, aad eon
eluding with a most amusing panto

On Monday, Tuesday and Wednes
day the Asbey l.alety Opera company
will be heard at the Academy of Music.
Speaking of it an exchange says: "The
Asbey Gaiety Opera company last
night gave a fine production of 'Fra
Diavolo' at the Lycoming Opera house.
Each production of this company grows
better and better, and there should be
a crowded house tonight at the closing
performance. Miss Chester last night
took the part of Zerltna in her usual
sprightly manner and captured the
hearts of the audience on the start.
She has a pleasing, sweet voice and Is
an actress of much ability. The Fra
Diavolo of Frank Kidsale was a well
taken character."
