The flicker" sometimes noticed in
lightning proves to be due to the fact
that several lashes-sometimes five or
six-follow one path too rapidly to be

GIRL SLAVE
TRADE With
CHINESE

Chicago, Oct. 19.-Traffic I'm American
n Canadian girls between Chicago and
Chinese ports is under investigation by
the Federal immigration bureau and the
local police,
II is charged that two women in this
city. who have agents in Shanghai and
Hong Kong. induce the girls TO make the
trip by telling OF fabulous sums they can
earn as maids in wealthy Chinese families.
AS further bait the applicant for the po-
sition is told that her travelling and living
expenses will be paid. and all necessary
clothing furnished. When the women reach
China they ARE placed under guard and
sent 10 the purchasers. Many are sup
posed to be held in palaces of wealthy
Chinese.
1T is true this sort of thing has been
going on for some time said Chief Col
Inns. II have detectives working now,
and expect to do something before long.
The information came TO me from
Washington first. and 1 then took up the
case with the government officers here,
but they could do nothing.
This traffic has been going on for
years" 4. y
Chicago authorities nave the names of
about 80 girls who have been sold. Hilda
Olson, 20 years old. is said 10 have COM
mitted suicide on reaching Shanghai.
where the price for girls is from 500 TO
$500.
James J.. Rodgers, American consul at
Shanghai. has enlisted the cooperation Of
English and Chinese authorities In the Sc
curing Of evidence of the traffic.
Three French-Canadlan girls from Mon
treal were sent from Chicago 10 Shang-
hal recently. Two OF the girls escaped
from their captors after arriving and
sough refuge In n resort frequented by
American and English sailors. They told
an officer OF the American navy their ex-
periences. and about the fate OF their
former companion.
Aside from the two women about whom
a web OF evidence has been woven, trace
make annual p~ilgrtmages from the Far
East as recruiting agents for wealthy
Chinese merchants. traders and officials.
Not only the dissolute are gathered.
but immature and inexperienced girls are
employed as secretaries" and travelling
companions"
Exposure OF the traffic was made by
complaint OF the sale or Louise Miller.
a girl from Montreal. to the agent Of a
Chinese official I'm Shanghai. The names
OF ten young women who have disap-
peared from homes I'm Chicago and other
American cities and were shipped to
Shanghai are i'm the possession OF In
spector J. w. Burst, OF the Chinese I'm
migration Bureau.
For prosecution and punishment the
government agents say they must rely
bn the police and state authorities, be
cause there Is no national law against the
traffic.

Ev|CTED
WOMAN
SUCCUMBS

New York, oct. 19.-Half an hour after
she had been eyicted from her three small
rooms on the third floor Of No. 2i5 East
Twenty eighth street, Mrs. Theresa Rose
died last evening in the hallway outside
the door that had been locked against her
by the marshal. By her side when she
breathed her last was Father O'Connor.
OF st. Stephens church. who had been
summoned by a neighbor.
There, in n dark hallway, the dying
woman lying on the rough board floor
OF the tenement. the priest administered
the last rites OF the church. The dying
woman looked up gratefully into his face
and smiled.
Tenants said II was the first time she
had smiled for a year. since the death
OF her six-year-old child. The awestruck
faces OF tenants In the dark recesses Of
the ~sall formed a fitting background for
the weird scene. When she died police
took the body 10 the station house.
whence II was transferred to the morgue.
Ranged along the sidewalk, near the
curb. were the pitiful cooking utensils
and furniture with which the woman had
tried TO keep house.
The woman. who was 46 years old,
had been deserted by her husband two
months ago when she became III and
had TO give up her work as a cook. She
suffered from dropsy. she and her hus-
band had lived in the house five years
and had been excellent enants.
The good neighbors had aided her. and
when they did not bring food TO her she
went hungry.
She was notified six weeks ago TO vacate
and when the marshal went to evict her
she was too feeble TO offer a protest or
even to tell those around her how Ill she
was.
A book OF the German Savings bank
showed a deposit to her credit OF sS1.
This will be used TO bury her.

IMITATION
SEASON
AT BROWN

The initiation season at Brown is at the
high water mark. About every morning
for the past week or so Freshmen could
be seen cutting up various kinds OF APP
ers on the campus for the amusement OF
the upper class men and much 10 their
own humiliation just before chapel. He is
made 10 do various Stunts such as
holding large dolls and sucking on bottles
OF milk and others things OF that ma
ture. Already many OF them V been
seen about town in public places attract
ing much attention and causing no little
amusement as they are made 10 go
through queer actions by their initiators.
The other evsrlng a Freshman was
made to go through a gymnastlc drill 10

from the doors of'a penny vaudeville es-
adjustment. and oftentimes lately pas
sengers I'm some OF the suburban cars have
been entertained on their homeward trips

of some OF the dormitories these days he
is pretty apt TO think that a numbering
bee Is going on in some of the rooms
above, but, no. only the bedlum OF these
%neophytes going through the first stages
OF their initiation.
Initiation Will probably continue for
about "A week or two longer, by which
time the Freshman Is supposed TO have
been taken down a bit and fitted with his
proper sphere. Some OF the fraternities
have only one outdoor night, while Others
have a number, during which the FRESH
man will pass through many trying or
deals and experiences which he will douht
less remember as the best part Of his col
lege days.
During the past summer DR.. Marvel has
made an average OF the measurements OF
the class OF 1908. tabulating and charting
both those taken in the fall and those
taken in the spring. His purpose was TO
show the average gain of the whole class
as well as 10 prove the efficiency OF the
system OF physical training here.
The slight amount OF work required pre-
cluded any possibility OF a great general
improvement. but the gain was significant
and symmetrical. Again the long period
required 10 measure the whole class gave
time for many men to get out OF train
ing thereby lowering the average some
The most interesting of the averages
taken last fall show a fair general devel-
opment. The average age was 1875 years,
weight 1859 pounds, height 5 feet ~ inches,

the benefits OF the system.

Rho

Like Neuralgia, is now known
to be a nervous disease. The
kidneys become weak through
lack of nerve energy, and fail
to filter the uric acid from the
blood; this acid attacks and
burns the nerves and muscles,
and consumes the oil in the
joints, producing inflammation,
fever, swelling-pain.
To cure Rheumatism, then,
you must restore the kidney
nerves and muscles, and neu-
tralize the effect of the acid
upon the joints and tissues

which has made. many cures of

strengthens the kidney nerves
and increases the circulation,
