SAVED A SLAVE GIRL.
Geo. McClellan's Humane Act at
Honolulu.

The Honolulu Commercial Adver.
tiser contains an interesting story Of
the saving Of Chinese slave girl by
Geo. B. Mcclellan, formerly Of Abb
lene. 1t says: All Ho, q Chinese
slave girl Of eight years, emaciated
BY suffering and starvation, and bear.
ing the marks Of inhuman treatment
upon her body, was brought to the
police station yesterday afternoon by
George B. Mcclellan, representative
Of the Protective League Of Honolulu.
The frail burden was taken into the
private office Of High Sheriff Brown
where she remained during the after
noon. Last evening she was taken to
Kawaahao seminary on King street
where she will be kept under the
charge Of the matron.
Inhuman brutality has been the
child's lot for the past six months.
She Is the slave Of Ng Mon War, clerk
in Hon. Paul Neuman's law office, and
was bought by him half a year since
for $40. Prior to that she was the
property, body and soul, Of a Chinese
who lived upon another island and
who had originally bought her from
the mother in China.
The gentlemen found out in the
course Of their investigations that
Mon Wars wife beat the child at all
hours Of the day and night. What
the motive was for such cruel treat
mont none Of the neighbors had been
able to ascertain. But that the wom-
an brutally whipped the girl, starved
her until she became shadow, and
abused her until her groans and
and means were so pitiful that the
complained to the police,
were undeniable facts.
Yesterday she had a big lump on
,ne Of her hands which looked as II
Il had been broken. Her body was a
mass Of black and blue bruises. After
consultation it was decided to send
Ah Ho to Kawaiahao seminary and
Mr.. Mcclellan will act as her guar
liam.
