A curious case of retributive plagia.

Of "Karma" first for Edmund Yates
magazine Time, over 25 years ago, and
his claim is answered by a Covent Gar.

this story is that it is only trifle aud

on his bill for carriages furnished Mrs.
Sutton and her court while Queen of
the Topeka FAN Festival.
The jury of five men selected to hear
the testimony in the case had decided
that the woman who worked probably
harder than anyone else to make the
last FAN Festival a success and ar
ranged a display outrivaling anything
seen in the west before could not be
held liable for a bill contracted by her
as president of the floral committee.
We simply agreed that while DR..
McCurdy should be paid for his car
riages there was no reason why Mrs.
Sutton should be held personally re-
sponsible for the bill" said Mr.. Sam
uel T. Howe, one of the members of the
jury after the decision had been an
witness stand that she had no author
ity from the Committee of Fifteen to
contract debts, but while she had ~
direct authority she had an implied au-
thOrity, because every one knew sha
was doing il as the president OF tie
floral committee. In my opinion the
whole proceeding of dragging Mrs.
Sutton into court on a Festival bill was
simply disgTaceful and reflects no
credit on the town
When the hearing of the case was re-
stunned at o'clock yesterday afternoon
Mrs. Sutton was called to the witness
stand, and after some preliminary
questioning made the following state
mepts on direct examine ton by Mr.. Ma
son:
Q.-Is there any item in DR.. ATcCurdy's
bill for yourself personally?
A.-No. sir, nothing.
Q.EFhe livery items appearing in the
bill we're used in connection with the
Festival
Ayes. sir. I was obliged to go to the
fair grounds to see floats and into the
country to see about extra teams and
on these occasions used vehicles.
ON carrying out this work you did
considerable correspondence, did you
not.
Ayes. I had paper and envelopes
with my name printed on them as pres
ident of the floral comittee
Q.-When you made this contract for
S275 you expected the money to be paid
A.-Certainly. had the money then
on hand to pay it with.
Q.-YOu guaranteed, as the president
of the floral committee to pay that
amount. and it was paid.
Ayes, never guaranteed any bill
only as the president of the floral com
mittee.
Q.-About the second lot of carriages
what about them2
Al went to DR.. McCurdy's barn one
day and told him that we would have
to have additional carriages, and asked

him what it would cost He said that
he might have difficulty in supplying
them and that it would be worth S175.
but that he would donate SIS to the
floral fund. I told him that our ex-
penses were very heavy and asked him
to make it as low as possible.
Q.-Of this latter bill you contracted
for DR.. AcCurdy was paid 20 cents on
the dollar, was he not
A-Yes, sir. After the Committee of
Fifteen turned the remaining fund over
to me I sent DR.. McCurdy a check for
$155. 80 which represented 70 per cent
of his bill. I received a letter in reply
in which ne stated that he could not
accept that amount in full for his bill
ard would hold me personally liable for
the balance.
Q.-At the time you sent DR.. AIcCurdy
the check for $155.40 didn't you tell him
that you meant to endeavor to dispose
of the material on hand and pay the
balance.
A.-Yes, sir. I told DR. McCurdy that
I would make every effort to sell the
material on hand and pay his balance.
going to Kansas City or Chicago if
necessary to dispose of it. DR.. Nc
Curdy was the only one of the Topeka
creditors who refused to accept 70 per
cent in full payment. Some of the
creditors offered 70 receipt their bills
without any compensation.
Q.-What about the deficit in the

ficer of that organization, and why
should she be held personally response
bic for a claim2
get the money for his carriages He
had confidence in Mrs. Sutton. But it
isn't a question of what Dr. McCurdy
thought or expected. He was supposed
to use his intelligence, and the law re-
quires that all contracts of this kind
must be made in writing. Mrs Sutton
comes here and shows you that there
was a corporate organization organized
to superintend the Festival, and that
there were chairmen appointed for the
different committees. If the Commit
tee of Fifteen meant for every person
connected with it, to pay for every
thing individually ordered why was a
corporation formed? They elected a
chairman and a secretary and a treas
urer, and appointed committee chair
men. OF the Floral committee they ap-
said to her: Here, we will give $500
to your committee They didn't turn
the money over to her, but simply
placed it at her disposal, subject to the
action of the treasurer.
Everybody in this city wanted to see
our Festival a success, but from Mrs
Sutton down, there was not one more
anxious to see it made a success than
Curdy was interested in it; it was his
carriages that the queen and court
were to ride in. Many people who did
not know DR.. NcCurdy before the Fes-
tival, knew him afterward. That week
he was the proudest man west of the
Mississippi river. 1t was an adver-
tisement of untold value to him. His
carriages were on the streets in the
most beautiful of decorations, and ev-
you heard of McCurdy's car
riages People talked of him as a man
who was able to aid in getting up a
procession. Dr. McCurdy,
would not have missed the
of the advertisement il
Mrs Sutton had gone to him ard told
him it would be impossible to pay him
q cent for his carriages. But now, af-
ter everything is over, he comes into
this court and tries to collect a bill of
less than 500 from the woman who
worked the hardest for him and for ev-
cry mani and woman in Topeka and for |
the credit of the town.
Il tell you, gentlemen, it was because |
Dr. McCurdy wanted the advertise /
nent; because he wanted to supply the /
carriages for the Festival queen and !
court that he was not more cautious /

Methodist Episcopal church and the
Methodist Episcopal church (south)
will meet in joint session here. 1t will
be the first fraternal meeting IN quar-
ter of a century of the two divisions of
the church, and its object is to reunite
ali the MetLodists under one banner.
In 1874 Bishop Andrews of the Meth
odist Episcopal church was the owner
of a small group of slaves Inherited
from his wife The church demanded
that he free the slaves or Quit the pull
pit. He declined to give up the slaves.
and that day, with his departure from
the conference. came the seeding OF all
that portionaof the church south of Ma
son and Dixon'S line.
It is now proposed to reunite and
coalesce the branches, thus making the
Methodist Episcopal church member
