"a MARKET FOR SOULS"

This is the title OF a book just pub
lished in New York, which covers tho
distressing field of The White Slave
Traffic" In a plain, matter OF fact.
practical way, telling the tale with an
unadorned truthfulness that is start
ling. The hook Is a collection of short
stories relating conversations and incl
dents in the lives of unfortunate women
that uncovers what has in the past
been a sealed book to the majority of
the reading public, except as slight
snatches could be CLEANED from the
often carefully blue-penciled writings
of reporters. Even these failed to suf-
fciently draw sympathetic and proper
attention. 1t was not until the report
of the government commission was
published that the relation OF officially
authenticated facts brought tho gen.
situation. This is made more emphatic
by this publication of "A Market for
Souls"
Tho book is written by Miss Elizabeth
Goodnow. a French speaking and very
intelligent, earnest English lady en-
gagged In settlement work In a section
Of New York City. where she gave
the women OF the street careful study
by meeting with them personally and
in securing their confidence, secured
also the true inwardness of their lives
Miss Goodnow is endorsed by 80

Dill of the New Jersey court of ap-

writes college clossmate in this city:
"She is doing good practically helping
those In trouble, dcvoting herself and
her means to lifting those unfortunatcs
out OF their troubles. Don't misundcr-
stand the purpose and purport OF the
stories" The author makes it very
plain that two things are at the bot
tom of the white slave traffic" viz,
human, OF rather lnhuman, greed, and
whisky. the former being incarnated in
the infamous maqucreauX, or men who
live upon woman's Vice. and whose per-
sonnlity in this business was first made
so prominent in McClurc's magazine OF
November last. when tho cause OF their
flourishing In New York was ascrlbed
to Tammany hall

ton;

1t was begun in the following man
ner. The idea originated in a bequest
of Sir Hans Sloane, who during long
lifetime gathered an extensive and at
the time unequaled collection of OBJ
1ects of natural history and works of
art, besides a considerable library OF
books and manuscripts. These in the
terms of his will were offered IN 1888
to the government on condition that
100000 sterling should be paid to his
family, the first cost OF the whole hav-
ing amounted to more than $4,000
sterling. The offer was accepted; the
necessary funds were raised by a lot
terry and the collection with the Har-
leian and Cottonian libraries was ar
ranged in Montague house. The in
stitution thenceforth was called the
British museum and opened in 1853.

THE PANIC-Subscriber. Susanville What
occssioned the panic in Wall street. New York
in the early nineties? Please give a short ac-
count of it.
The panic in Wall street, May 9, 1901,
known as the Northern Pacific corner
day" was due to a contest between the
Northern Pacific and Union Pacific in
terests as a result of the acquisition
by the former of the Burlington route.
which the latter regarded as prs1udf-
cial to the interests OF the Union Pa
cifc's position. Northern Pacific had
previously been rising rapidly as a
result of buying Union Pacific interests.
and on the day of the panic many op-
orators were caught short Of the stock.
which in the course OF the day reached
$1,000 share. The contest ended with
the Union Pacific party in possession
OF majority of Northern Pacific stock.

TYRANT POESY KEEPS
POET FROM SLUMBER
love Never Dies, " Writes MdcLdtterty, Who
Has Divorce Suit on His Hands

I OAQUIN MILLER is said to have
chosen James Henry MacLafferty
as his successor and to have given
him corner lot in his artist colony
back of Oakland. AS the first effort to
qualifying for the honor MacLafferty
has brought out a little volume of
verses, MY Souls Cathedral and other
Poems" and an even slenderer book.
Light Through the Valley" published
by Elder & Co.
These give the impression on a cas-
ual reading that MacLafferty feels that
he is an emotional, misunderstood man.
with strong religious fervor. and that
he is wandering through the misty
mazes of woe in this world upheld by
the belief that he will ultimately die
and see why everything is and has
been.
Domestic infelicity eliminating in
divorce suit has brought the poet into
the direct vision of the public of late
and the fact that his wife declares that
he is both brutal and unsympathetic
makes his verses. some of them, excep-
tionally interesting.
For instance, when Mrs. MacLafferty
reads Love Never Dies" she should
feel encouraged or else realize that she
was a sad mistake. 1t runs as follows:
Love never dies.
And when we say love is dead
Our language is faulty thing.
If once love lifts its timid head
In sweet voiced melody to sing,
1t never dies.
Love never dies.
True love, an attribute of God,
Is like to him and can not end.
Who walks this way path has trod
Where Joy with duty has blend
That never dies.
Love never diss1
Then what of those who now are coldl
Yea, more who hate, who once did lOvsl
Twas never love- passion bold
Deceived the heart; born from above,
Love never dies.
Perhaps the surroundings of Mac
Lafferty were uncongenial and he had
not those soothing influences which
his temperamentaI nature seems to
have required. In his poem, The
Meadow Lark" which won the ap-
provaI of Joaquin Miller. he says:
Meadow lark, sweet singer of the fields,
Never do hear thy joyous song,
But in my spirit every evil yields,
And good resolves within made strong.
In Gods Great Ocean" MacLafferty
says:
Let me linger near thy border,
Let me blend my song in thine,
As the smallest song birds music
Blends with organ, deep, divine.
All. thy pealing
Gently stealing
Ger my soul dissolves my pride;
And deep emotion,
Gods great ocean,
wheIms me, as beneath thy tide.
Rhythmic, resonant, resounding
Like augmented pedal bass,
Thy vibration stirs my being,
