LUCILLE aud HELEN WESTERN, who have been
playing an engagement at WooD's Theatre, Cincin-
natl, having taken umbrage at an article recently
published in the Cincinnati Gazette, denouncing the
play Of the three Fast Men, " and stating that
they we're the sisters Of CHARLES MATTHEWS " Lit
tie Arrangement, Lizzie WESTERN DAvENP RI
have brought suit against our venerable contempt
rary for $4,000, 81. 900 each. The young actress
es consider the charge that they are in any way
related to the Little Arrangement, which, it is
said has no foundation in fact-libeous, and claim
damages, therefore, in the amount named. This is
quite unique case, and one Of The drst We remem-
Der, wherein persons have brought suit for being
grstuitOusly furnished with false relatives. No
doubt Lucille and Ellen are indignant and mortified
at their supposed sisterhood with the Little Ar
rsngement, f" who will feel very mn fsttered We
presume when she learns that the suspicion of be
ing her sister is a luxury that costs $4,000.
