Armless Girl Brings Action Against
Newspapers.

Thomas Marshal of Columbia City,
has been retained by Kittie Smith,
the armless girl, to bring suit against
the Marion Chronicle and the Wa
bash Times-Star for damages for Ii
bel. the South Whitley Printing Com
pany, also being interested along
with Kittie Smith in the cases.
Kittie Smith is an armless girl liv-
ing at South Whitley Several years
ago her father, in a drunken carousal,
threw her on red-hot stove and held
her there until her arms were burned
to crisp and amputation was neces-
sary. Friends cared for her and sent
her to an orphans school She be-
came wonderfully proficient in the
use of her feet, being able with them
TO write, draw, and do embroidery ard
many kinds of fancy work. From
the sale of specimines of her work
and the exhibitions she gave she was
enabled TO make small earnings. FL
nally, the proprietors OF the South
Whitley Printing Company conceived
the idea of her writing story of her
life and placing it on sale. This was
done, the book published being an
exceedingly pathetic story and con-
tanning photo engravings showing he
work she was able to do with her
toes. The book was mailed TO thous-
ands of people with an autograph let
ter asking that if found acceptable
the receiver would be helping a de-
serving orphaned girl by returning
in an inclosed coin card silver quar-
ter. The story, with the testimonials
sent, appealed to thousands and few
of those TO whom the book was sent
months realized from the sale of the
work large amount of money and
the plan for the sale of it is yet in
effect, letters being sent out every
day to different cities in this and 9TH
er states.
Some weeks ago the two newspap-
ers published articles denouncing the
story of Kittie Smith and the plan for
the sale OF her book as fraud. At
torney Marshall says their publica-
ton has injured the sale of the book.
For this reason suit for damages will
be brought

MoFFArT FOR MODERATOR.
Presbyterian General Assembly Be-
gins Annual Session at Winona.

Winona Lake, Ind, May 1s-The
most important business transacted
during the first days session of the
general assembly of the Presbyter-
ian church was the election of Dr.
James d. Moffatt, president of Wash
ington and Jefferson college, Wash
ington, Pa, moderator of the assem-
bly,. The election was made unani-
nous.
In his address Rev. Henry Addison,
the retiring moderator, did not touch
upon the important questions before
the assembly. He said the Presby-
terian church is now in the period of
its greatest prosperity, which inclu-
des all departments. Much of the ad-
dress was on the work of young men
IN the ministry and how to increase
their number He said the hume br
had declined in the past ten years.
He urged the preaching of evan
gelistic sermons. For sixty years, he
said, the efforts of the church had
been directed toward doctrines. For
the next fifty years these efforts
should be given to evangelistic work.
Routine business of the assembly
will begin tomorrow with the orgini-
zation of twenty committees, the
moderator appointing the chairman.
Tomorrow Dr. Moffat will deliver the
principal address at the laying of the
corner stone of the Presbyterian bull
ding which is being erected on the as
sembly grounds at cost of S6O,OO0
The question which overshadows
all others before the assembly and
one which will be approached with
great caution is that of taking the
Cumberland branch into the general
assembly While the church in the
north has voted Overwhelmingly in
favor of the proposition and the
Cumberland church has given con-
sent by a small majority, the COM
missioners to the assembly realize
there was a difference of opinion on
the question. Presbyterians in the
southwest are against the proposit-
ion

Damaged.

Fire broke ont in the unoccupied
McKinstry hotel property, just south
of the Vandalia Depot, on Jefferson
street some time in the night but was
not discovered until Saturday morn
ing when the fire company responded
to an alarm turned in by person liv-
ing in the neighborhood- The fire
started in the cellar and burnt up
through the first and second floors
in the hall way but was put out be-
fore gaining any headway. When the
fire company reached the house it
was so full of smoke that a half doz-
en- windows had to be broken In to
let out the smoke before they could
get at the fire. The cause of the FIRE
is unknown but it is the prevalent
opinion that some tramp after lodg-
ing in it set it on fire. The property
is owned by Mr.. McKinstry now liv-
ing at South Bend but formerly OF
this place. 1t had recently been re-
paired, nicely papered on the interior
and painted on the outside. The loss
is greater on this account. The bull
ding was insured for $700.

OBEY THE LAW.
Tobacco Trust Must Not Send Cigar
cites into Indiana by Mail.

The supreme court of the United
States has decided case relative to
sending into the state of Tennessee
packages containing ten cigarettes,
holding that such a package is not
an original package and if sent into
a state isfliable under the police law
of the state regulating the sale of Gig
arettes. The decision of the United
States supreme court boiled down,
says this:
Tobacco is a legitimate article OF
commerce and courts cannot take ju-
dicial notice OF the fact that it is
more obnoxious in the form of Gig
arettes than in any other form.
Tobacco is, like Intoxicating liqu-
ors, within the powers of the state.
States can prohibit the sale of Gig
arettes entirely after they are taken
from original packages.
"A package of cigarettes three in
ches/ long and one half inch wide,
containing ten cigarettes, is not an
original package"
The notices sent out and posted up
in the city from cigarette manufact-
urers that consumers could safely get
them and thus avoid the law, may get
into some trouble. From this decis-
ion of the supreme court, it clearly
appears that the seller will be liable
to prosecution and certainly the fact
that a person would not render him
less liable to prosecution for smoking
or having in his possession cigarttes,
than he would be if purchased from
a local dealer. The best way to avoid
prosecution is to obey the law not
withstanding the fact that a Ply
mouth paper is asking you to do
otherwise through its advertising col
umns.
