The following is what Mrs. Lurenda
b. Smith, National Supt. Of Rescue
Work" says Of white Slave Traffic. "
The National Purity Conference,
which 1t was my privilege TO attend,
was held in Chicago. October 9-l2.
During its sessions many startling
facts concerning the conditions sur.
rounding women and girls were
brought TO light.
II is admitted every where that this
tiaffic exists. We're this not fact
why have i6 nations thought it
necessary to establish national com.
mittees for its SUPPRESSION These
nations are backed up by their re-
speotive governments, which. as a
rule. do not expect TO play role in
an unworthy undertaking.
The Rev. Sidney e. Kendall OF
Long Beach. Cal. who has spent con.
siderable time in investigating con.
ditions in the various cities, and can
prove what he says by indisputable
evidence, said in his address before
the Conference white slaves are
hunted in the jungles of Europe that
they call Christian Cities They are
captured, abducted, deceived, betrsy.
ed, kidnapped aud drugged. They
are secured by any means that lust
can prompt or avarice devise. They
are brought TO this country in com.
panies and distributed among our
cities according to the demand of the
market. This White Slave Traffic has
its bureaus Of exchange, its schedule
Of prices, its expert operatives and
all the features OF an interstate and
international commerce. It is or.
ganized like an advancing army, aud
its war chest is available for mutual
defense everywhere. If one OF its
agents gets into trouble in Los An.
geles the Cerole Franchise in New
York telegraphs funds for his de.
fense.
." The wares Of this traffic are young
girls, ignorant, helpless, bewildered
and terrified, who cannot speak En-.
glish, aud who sometimes do not so
much as know whore thy are.
This is not the worst Our own
girls are being hunted Nearly every
issue of the daily paper in our larger
cities has its story Of "A Lost Girl. q"
What becomes of themg Dragged in
licensed cafe, lifted into cab
under the very eyes Of the police and
taken through the portals Of hell. "
The white slave traffic has two
divisions she importation OF foreign
women for commercial purposes aud
the procuring of our own girls. II
the law alone could suppress its traffic
1t never would have existed. for IL
is already outlawed in every state and
city But the laws against the traffic
are not enforced. The police say the
public do not want them enforced.
and 50 say 1t lies at the door Of the
christian public. There are those
who say that sin cannot be abolished.
ont the American government can
abolish the market where women are

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1907-02-22

Many of the new millinery models
are particularly dainty and attractive.
Taken as whole the hats of this win
ter are sufficiently restrained and free
from exaggeration, and it is probable
that the same will continue to be true
of the millinery of the coming spring
and summer.
In our illustration we show the very
latest and most becoming version Of
the mushroom shape. The closely
gagged black silk has band of velvet
draped round the moderately high
crown and drawn into big chou at
the side, while some full blown roses
Of shining gold tissue and gauze put in
an effective appearance on the other
side.

What woman is there who does not
admire beautiful complexion and de-
sires st for herself if it is possible to
be obtained? There is no doubt that
many women rather injure than i'm
prove their compilations by the lotions
used and the severe treatment given
to the skin. 1t is a mistake to try all
the lotions one sees advertised and to
torture the face with all manner of
gymnastics. It is the simple treat
ment that is the surest to result ben
eficially. Try a mixture Of eau de
cologne and almond Oil. The right
way to go to work is to begin with
very much diluted eau de cologne, half
water and half perfume. Soak some
pieces of medicated wadding in the
liquid and thoroughly and very gently
cleanse the face before going to bed
at night. When the face is perfectly
clean fresh pieces of wadding should
be soaked in a half and half mixture
of almond oil and eau de cologne and
the face should be very quietly mas
saged, rubbing always upward, and ex-
treme care being taken to avoid
stretching the skin, which is wonder
fully elastic. The oil must be allowed
to dry on the face and next morning
the skin must be freely bathed in the
eau de cologne sold for baths and fric-
tions. I lay special stress on the lat
ter sentence as there is an immense
difference between ordinary eau de
cologne-of the finest quality-and the
liquid sold for frictions. The former
would be much too strong and pungent
for delicate compilations.
Of course compilations differ as
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1907-02-22

greatly as do characters, but for the
average woman the eau de cologne
and almond oil treatment will bring
good results.
But there are probably some Of our
readers who care more for dress than
they do for complexion and who are
impatiently waiting to hear the latest
from fashiondom. Well, first Of all it
is extremely likely that with the
spring styles the fiounce, especially in
narrow width, will occupy an impor-
tant position among spring trimmings.
Almost all the newest tailor made
costumes show the cape bolero eff
feet on the shoulders, but in some
cases it is very subdued, just giving
a tinge of the 1880" effect. Indoor
blouses are now very often made with
perfectly fiat shoulder seams and with
the trimmings arranged to simulate
fichu or short cape.
All of these old-time and truly pic
turesque touches on modern cos
tunes are delightful. They make for
variety, and lend themselves. when
properly chosen, to accentuate the in
dividual quality of each wearer's spe-
cial beauty of form or face. What is
needed to improve the evening and
house gowns of to-day is the copying
of what is best in old-time costumes,
as well as originality of creation.
There is little that is truly new, save
the severe tailored gowns. The evolu-
ton of the modern corset has led to
the creation of the strictly modern
and truly smart coat and skirt combi-
nations.

SHOT HIS FATHER-IN-LAW.
James Baldick Will Die From the
Wounds inflicted by Wade.

NORFOLK, Va, June 29.-James Baldick,
aged fifty-four years, who was shot in his
own home near Ocean View by his stepson-
in-law, George Wade, aged twenty mine
years. lies at st. Vincent's Hospital with
five bullet wounds in his abdomen Bal
dick, fully conscious, awaits the end with
knowledge that he cannot survive.
The shooting, which occurred while Bal
dick, Mrs. Baldick and young Wade's wife
were at supper, resulted from family trou-
bles growing out of a recent visit from
Georgia of Wade's father. The Wades
had been living with the Baldicks at Ocean
View while Wade clerked in Swinks store.
Trouble arose between Wade and Mr. and
Mrs. Baldick, and he rented a house in
Norfolk with the intention of taking his
wife there yesterday.
Wade after the shooting walked all the
way to Norfolk, and City Detectives Spratt
and Wright and County Officer Woodhouse
arrested him in a hallway near his room

CHoATE AT THE HAGUE.
Speaks for Exemption Of All Private
Property on High Seas.

THE HAGUE, June 29-Yesterday's sit
ting of the first committee of the peace
conference afforded an opportunity for Jos.
H. Choate, the American delegate, to up
hold the principle of the exemption of all
private property except contraband, from
capture on the high sea. The success OBJ
tanned by his speech left the impression
that the American proposition, which in the
conference of 1899 was only taken in for
consideration, this time will be approved
unanimously.
Mr.. Choate referred to the different occa-
sions in which the United States had pro-
claimed her support of the doctrine-by
treaties with Prussia in 1875, with Bolivia
in 1858 and with Italy in 1871. Long be-
fore the first conference, in 1855. Mr..
Choate said Russia declared the matter
worthy of serious consideration, saying that
the success of the American principle would
be a "crown Of glory to modern diplo-
macy"
Mr.. Choate sought to prove that all
neutral powers were interested in the ques-
tion, and that the tendency was to restrict
war to its proper domain. The privateering
of former years was losing more and more
in importance in view of the great technical
perfection of the present day, the speaker
declared. "One might say the game is be-
ginning to be not worth the candle"
Mr.. Choate concluded by saying that
President Roosevelt attached such inn
portance to the question that he wished to
evoke an expression of opinion on 1t by
vote of all the countries represented at the
conference.
Count Torneilli said the Italian govern
ment favored the American principle.
After Mr.. Choate's speech NJ. NelidOf of
Russia created bad impression by max
ing a short statement, saying that the
American proposition would defeat its own
purpose, as the exemption of private prop
erty would have only the effect of render
ing wars more frequent On the other
hand, the menace to private property, es-
pecially in the cases of certain countries
whose greatest wealth is their sea COM
MERGE would exercise a salutary influence
upon nations which, he said. from ma
terial considerations. would avoid war. 1t
is reported that NJ. Nel.doff's statement
was received with noticeable murmurs of
disapproval.

to fire except at the last extremity.
