SLAVE TRADE IN AMERICA.

Chinese Girls Sold in Bondage and
 Treated With Inhuman Cruelty
 An Appeal Made to WashingtonA
 Strong Effort Will be Made to Put
 an End to the Nefarious Traffic in
 California.
 Goo, the prettiest slave girl in Chi natown, valued at three thousand dol lars, has been rescued forcibly by po- lice and mission workers from the filth and degradation of her life among the Chinese of San Francisco. This is victory for the abolitionists of this pe- culiar kind of serfdom. They have found in the slavery of Chinese girls on our soil a more loathsome, disgust ing, hideous practice than that ever pursued in the southern states of America before the war. Slavery exists now within the territory of our coun- try. But 1t is only the slavery of wo- men. It has existed thus for forty years, and only recently have philan- thropic abolitionists laid the matter before the congress of the United States. The history of Goo is interest ing. But it is the history of an excep- tional girl. Although she has lived in degradation, still she has enjoyed many of the comforts of life. This is not the lucky heritage of every girl who is smuggled into the country and knocked down to the highest bidder. But Goo is a native beaty. She Is the most perfect specimen of Chinese wo- manhood ever imported That is the reason why her owners always treated her with consideration. She would some day bring good price. But that day never arrived. A fearful tale of deception and shame could be told by many of these delicate and beauti- full Chinese girls if fear did not keep their tongues silent. The story of Goo is representative She was born nine teen years ago in country village near Hong Kong. Coos life in the home circle was trying. The family were poor. They were driven almost to desperation on account of hunger The gods had been unkind and seemed hold. For there was not single son. And there were many daughters. Now the law of China, beneficient and exemplary, permits parents to dispose of their superfiuous daughters for hard cash. A robust girl of twelve years of age brings one hundred and fifty dollars in the Hong Kong market. It | was decided in the family circle that 'Goo," who was the .prettiest and therefore would bring the highest price, must be sacrificed on the altar

THE KNEIsEL QUARTETTE.
Last Concert of the Season Given Last
 Night.


 The last of the Kneisel Quartette concerts for this season was given at the College street hall last night. The season has been short and only three concerts have been given, but it is said that the season has been successful financially. This is a pleasant fact to record and guarantees another season next year. The management is to be congratulated.
 The programme last night was made I'D of familiar works. The Death and the Maiden variations from Schubert s D minor quartette and the Smetana E minor quartette were played by re- quest. The Smetana quartette has been heard here before, but it cannot be repeated too often. It was espe- cially well played last night. As play ed by MT. Kneisel and his associates it is quite unnecessary to have a printed analysis to make It's beauties plain The splendid spirit of the folk-time themes and the pathos of the melodies are able to make themselves felt with out further air.
 Mozart's E flat major quartette which was played first, was charming ly given, and it's spontaneity and abso- lute Ioveliness were never more evi- dent.
 The quartette has given the people of New Haven delightful season and their return next year is eagerly look ed forward to.
