The better the flour, the better the bread; the better the bread, tn Reasons For Settlement. London, May 12.—The , Central News states that the Japanese loan has been oversubscribed. The banks handling it were overcrowded this morning. sacks The reason publicly given for ending this hotly contested suit was that the notoriety of the case was impairing the health of Mrs. Nelson and causing great annoyance to Mrs. Oelrichs and Mrs. Vanderbilt Another reason why both sides were eager to end the litigation was that the legal proceedings in France, New York and California were a heavy drain on the estate of $7,000,- 000 and that the dozen lawyers were reaping a rich harvest at the expense of both sides. Mrs. Oelrichs aud Mrs. Vanderbilt agree to pay the counsel fees of the Nelsons and give them a goodly sum, and the Nelsons promise never to annoy those women again.

Mrs. Oelrichs aud Mrs. Vanderbilt agree to pay the counsel fees of the Nelsons and give them a goodly sum, and the Nelsons promise never to annoy those women again.
