LIBEL SUIT CONCLUDED.
A Vindication' in the Com
munity's Estimation.


three hours, for the plaintiff in
the sum of five. dollars Just
1896 less than he was suing
for. We are of the opinion that
FIVE dollars is an extortionate
price, but have no quarrel with
either court or jury Smiths SOL
dier money has probably changed
10 the hands of another Smith and
there has been fulfillment, doubt
less, of The Chieftain's predictions
in reporting the bringing OF the
suit, which was as follows: 1t
may not be amiss to say that Mr..
Smith will know whole lot more
about his standing in this commu-
nity and about the laws of libel af-
ter this case is disposed of than be
appears te at this writing"
The case has given the town five
days of rare entertainment, and is
probably morth ali tiat it has cost,
as it has fixed the value of a GER
tain kind of character, and tested
the standard of good citizenship
maintained by few of our Vinita
friends. When a man expects to
cash his character the first requis-
ite should be to build an articl T.
that would have at least some val
ue. Character Is the work OF a
lifetime and the man who has
reached middle age has either mis-
spent his time, and wasted his op-
portunities, or he would certainly
have accumulated more than five
dollars worth of that staple article.
Character is something that every
man must build Tor himself, and lie
like chain-no stronger than its
weakest link. The way to be hap
py is to be virtuous, and virtue ia
its own reward.
As class, there are no people
in the world so easy to get along
agreeably with as newspaper men,
and no class that condone and COW
er over the frailties OF their friends
and neighbors as they do. The
man who hates, and breads and
fights the newspapers, is, nine
times out of ten, a villain, and
afraid his villainy will be exposed
AL hooclums the worio over nate

the prowling burglar hates the

All corrupt political leaders feal

PROTEST AGAINST SPLITTING.
AN INDIGNANT CITIZEN ASKS sELF-RE-
sPECTING PERSONS TO COOPERATE
AND STOP THIS OFFENSIVE
PRACTICE

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Some years ago / wrote you letter touch
ing expectoration which you published In your adj
mirable paper You stated then that while the
habit was TO be greatly depored, you feared II could
not be prevented. and now 1t would appear that
your fears were well grounded. 1t is. however, quite
necessary that gentlemen should at once cooper
ate to put down the filthy nuisance and bring to
punishment the disgusting offenders. Although
notices are posted up In the elevated railroad cars
and in streetcars that the Board OF Health forbds
splitting a huge number OF common people break
the law with equanmity, and are unrebuked by the
employees of the railways and fellow passengers.
To such an extent do they offend that the ele,
waited railroad stations disgusting sight. ana
the cars are unfit for ladies and gentlemen TO
travel In.
1t is n crying shame that American women should
be subjected TO such treatment. 1t has been
claimed that the trouble IS due to climatic con-
dltions Surely that Is mere excuse. one does
not see ladies spit or gentlemen either, and sure
ly they are Just subject to climatic conditions
as are the "spttersw II there must be such pub
lie nuisances let the elevated railroad company
have special cars for them, so that they may con-
fine their practices to their own kind.
III the Board OF Health can forbid the dan
gerous nuisance, can IL punish offenders? What
can be done to stop this offensive habit? If the
thous lnds OF people who respect American women
and have self-respect would help to put down this
nuisance II surely might be accomplished

DOLL SHOW BY DOCTORS DAUGHTERS.

The third annual doll show held by the Doctors
Daughters OF San Francisco has just closed, and

organization. TO be expended later In charity.
There have been doll fetes nnumerabe. aside from
the annual exhibitions. during recent years. but
this last was in no way a copy Of it's predecessors.
The Doctors Daughters noted for their pro-
gressive spirit the exhibit just closed full
OF interesting specaltes and novelties The show
was held as usual, in the Maple Room OF the
Palace Hotel which was deliberately decorated for
the occasion. Tho display tables, artistcally
draped in green and white bunting, were sur
mounted by arbors Of smllax beneath which sew
eral hundred dolls OF high and low degree beamed
upon appreciative rows OF spectators. who moved
from booth to booth, lost In wonder and amazed az
the possibilities in dolldom. Above the model
dolls some forty in number, hung the names or
the rnodstes who designed and made each cos
tune These were divided into classes OF gowns

table that ELECTED many encomiums on its
originality was filed with dolls made entirely OF
dried corn. The bodies. gowns bonnets. parasols
and shopping bags of these nut brown maydes'
were all OF the huskings OF the corn and the hair
OF the dried silk. These dolls were quaint and
curious and what added TO their interest was the
fact that they were all made by little girl in
Kansas-a hopeless bedridden invalid Another
table was devoted TO dolls dressed by the public
school children under fourteen years OF age. In
the room adjoining Maple Hall was an army Of
dolls contributed by the Doctors Daughters them
selves donated by friends interested in the

IN FASTENING STRAY LOCKS.
Paris November "a
Tailor made costumes, as a rule are Oh quie'
colors with discreet use of some bright Color IN
the trimming For instance, a suit Of black cloth
will be heavy with rows of purple stitchlng anu
the revers will be faced with purple cloth to within
an inch OF the edge. Decidedly stylish is a olue
cloth stitched with red. The skirt is made IN inc
new shape which the tailors are adopting az
eagerly as the dressmakers. 1t is close ana mar
row and in the back is a double box pieat Inc
sktrt ,s encirced twice by clusters of red stitch
ing and there are a dozen rows down the centre or
the box pleat. The jacket bolero with douDe
breasted front longer than the sides Is finished
in the following way: The cloth is stitched Tor
several rows, then comes the narrowest possible
line of red piping, then perhaps a quarter OF an
inch Of stitched cloth and then a second piping to
finish The work is perfectly done, the piping being
40 cunnngly inserted into the cloth that IL seems
impossible TO believe that the cloth has been cut
Another novelty shown by the tailors is an inner
vest 10 a bolero made of panne; in another case
the lower part OF the jacket is Of panne In the
same color. An idea that promises to become
fashionable is the placing of little leather straps to
fasten a Jacket. Certainly the tailor made costume
is anything but monotonous in its present aspect
II is perhaps necessary to lay some emphasis on
the vogue of the skirt with the box pleat IN the
hack II has almost superseded the plain back In
both the case Of the tunic and the skirt A pretty
form OF trimming is to strap the pleat to the skirt
In a Sara Meyer model of green cloth blue SILK
brocade Is used for trimming In this way In the
back there are six straps Of the brocade, three on
each side OF the peat, that hold it to the skirt
The side seams OF the skirt also strapped with
the silk The cloth is a deep forest green and the
brocaded silk a turquoise blue. On the bodice Is
a yoke of coral pink in vest of white lace.
Framing this are small lappes of the brocade lying
over broader ones OF the green. Below the lappels
on each side are three handsome green buttons.
