A PITIFUL STORY.
Little Girl Slave Escapes from the
FiendS.

One of the most pitiful instances
of the white slave traffic ever brought
to light in Atlanta is the case of lit
tie Nettie Lewis, a girl in knee
dresses, who until six months ago
lived on a farm near Winston-Salem,
n. c., says the Atlanta Journal. Since
then she has been travelling about
the country, she says, supporting
two parasites, from whom she at
tempted to escape innumerable times,
only to be caught, brought back,
cruelty treated and forced to con-
tinue her life of shame for the gain
of her master and mistress.
The girl has been held in the ma
irons ward for the past three days,
while the Atlanta detectives have
been trying to apprehend the man
and woman, who brought her to this
city. Their efforts have been futile
ard apparently both have escaped
flom the city.
Here's the girls story as she told
ii in the matron's ward: "Six
months ago a woman, whom I have
known as Cassie Cobb, and her
friend, H. M. Burt, asked me to slip
away from her home for few days
trip to Charlotte. Cassie is from a
small town in South Carolina and
Burt is originally from Aberdeen, N.
C. I had known them only short
time, but 1 was tired of staying home
and wanted to see Charlotte.
'Since then I don't know where
we have been-all over Alabama,
Tennessee and Georgia. They tray
eled as man and wife and 1 was Cas-
sizes niece. They forced me to go
out on the streets and make money
for them. They would always take
my money away from me as soon as
I got it. Burt said he was a horse
trader, but really he didn't do a
thing and the money I made provid-
ed the three of us with clothes,
board and railroad fare.
sometimes 1 would try to get
away, but they would always catch
me. Burt told me that he would kill
me sooner or later if kept trying to
escape. Both of them cursed me,
and l was terribly afraid, because I
knew that, Burt would really kill me.
have seen him beat Cassie terribly
time and time again, and one time,
when he knocked her down with a
chair, he accidentally struck me
during the fight
The girl was brought to police head
quarters by the proprietor of a local
hotel. On Saturday night she was
sent out to the street by woman, it
is alleged. Instead of going back to
the Neal house, where the trio had
been stopping, she went to the Can
non hotel. There she met a married
woman to whom she told her story.
The woman kept her in the room
with her during the night and the
following morning Informed the
hotel proprietor, who suggested an
appeal to the police, The girl went
to police headquarters voluntarily,
and will remain until the authorities
find way to send her back to her
widowed mother, or until they cap
ture the man and woman.

KILLED By MOLTEN TAR.
Boy Set on Fire by Blazing Pitch,
Which Hardened i'm His Tissues.

A blazing can of molten tar, acci.
dentally kicked into his face by an
other boy, brought extreme suffering
and quick death to Peter Phellen, II
years old. The boy died at St. Fran
els hospital For seven hours after
the accident, which occurred in front
of 431 East 142nd street about noon
the youngster lay unconscious under
the unavailing treatment of the hos
pital surgeons. Slowly the tar ate
into his flesh, and as it became cool
hardened in the tissues, making re-
covery impossible.
In an anteroom in the hospital the
boys parents awaited the result OF
the physicians efforts to save his
life. 1t was thought best not to let
them see their son, because of he
condition of his SCARED body. When
one of the surgeons at last told the
them that the child was dead, Mrs.
Phellen went into Mysteries.
With three other boys-Alfred
Gliss, Alfred Stephens and Gerald
Eckroth-all of whom live in the
apartment house with him, young
Phellen was playing in the street.
One of the boys came on the pot of
tar, tossed it into an ash barrel on
the sidewalk The youngsters bor-
rowed matches from a passer-by, and
soon had the can blazing finely. De-
lighted, the four boys danced around
the flames, which mounted higher
and higher as the heat became more
intense.
The fire at last reached such pro-
portions the boys began to fear a
policeman would be attracted, par
ticularly as they had set the tar pot
on a flight of stone steps, so they de-
cided to extinguish the blaze. Run
ming up the stairs to step above the
blazing pot, one of the boys kicked
the can, intending. to knock it into
the street. The pot bounded into
the air then dropped bottom up on
young Phellen's face. AS the blazing
black liquid flowed across his cheeks,
over his shoulders, and down his
whole body, Peter stood still, scream
ing with pain and terror.
"My eyes! My eyes!" he cried, and
began running up and down aimless-
ly as the tar sank through his cloth
ing into the skin.
So frightened were the other boys
at the plight of their comrade they
fled, crying for help. Attracted by
the uproar George Goss rushed down.
stairs, caught Phellen in his arms,
and ran with him to st. Francis.
There the burned boy, who by that
time was unconscious, was laid on
the operating table, and Drs. Swift
zer, Perald and Richards worked
hard over him to the moment he
died. The coroner was informed,
and directed the police of the Alex
ander police station to investigate.
It was found the pouring of the mol
ten tar on Phellen was wholly acci-

MORE VIRGIN TERRITORY.

The parliament of Australia has passed bill providing for the accep- ance from South Australia of Northern Australia. The commonwealth pledges itself to build a railway connecting Port Darwin on the north. the port of the northern territory. with the rail- way system of South Australia. It is estimated that this expenditure will amount to about s5o,o0O.oOO. This northern territory has 52S.62O square miles. or about one sixth of the total area Of Australia.
 Except for the small settlement at Port Darwin it has scarcely any white population, most of it being an empty wilderness, the total population of the territory being estimated at 2.967 peo- pie. of whom two-thirds are Asiatics. IL iS anticipated that the building Of the transcontiu.ntal railway will open the country and develop its resources. The phenomenal rise in the price of rubber has recently drawn much attention to the northern territory as field for rub ber plantations.
 The only drawback is the fear of white ants, which in this territory are a terrible scourge On Roper river. however. an indigenous gutta percha tree is found which is impervlous to white ants. There also is a vine which produces acoagulating juice of quality similar to the gutta percha tree. Speci- mems have been sent to England and have been favorably reported on. Sev- eral kinds of rubber trees have beer successfully cultivated at the botanic gardens at Port Darwin.
 The opening up of Northern Austral. ia will give a vast new country to set clement.

THE MAIL OF SENATOR LODGE.

Senator Lodge is more than ever viewing with dismay his mail as it arrives from hour to hour at the capi- tol, according to an Eastern correspon- dent. His reelection as senator has been inspiration to nigh everyone of his friends to write to him words of con- gratulations and many people not so we'll known to him have taken pen in hand to convey their joy to him that he was chosen to represent Massachusetts six years more in the senate
 The senator received more than $50 telcErams and cable messages. and or .ap of these there have arrived up to date some 1.5oo letters They have made a formidahle stack for the scna- tor Go read. but he has given them his attention and VIII reply probably to every one. Four secretaries ara. busy attending to the correspondence. and th,, start early and work late
 The magnitude of the congratulatory mail is no doubt called out by the spirited contest that preceded the cleo ton. The whole nation and the world beyond became interested. IT the can vass had been simply an ordinary event. the congratulations would have been in proportion.

GIVING THE PUBLIC THE FACTS.

Specifically. We are charged with printing interviews with prospectors returning from the Kushokwim. which could not be construed as being boom articles. We are also charged with rec ommendng to Iditarod miners and prospectors the prospecting and devel- opment of nearby creks rather than go- ing farther a-field. To both of these Indictments" We plead guilty.
 In the first place the Nugget aims to be a newspaper. Its desire is to pub the points of view, and making such comment as occasion seems to demand If returning prospeetor speaks well of a new camp or mining district. the information being considered reliable it is gladly given publicity; if the re- ports are unfavorable. and come from too are given to the public Such we think is the legitimate duty of news paper. IL Is the right of the public to know the truth without conceal m.nt, suppression or evasion. in all essential matters.
 We are not booming the Kuskokwim. developments justify it. Then We shall do our full share. This may not please the land hogs. loafers and lazybaeks. those who want to get something for nothing; were not trying to please this or any other class of people. being mindfCl of the man in the fable, who fin trying "to please everybody pleased nobody-aud lost his ass into the bar gain
 We are booming the Iditarod. only so much as developments warrant it and present promise iustifes. So far 1t has made good. But in order to keep mp with its ouNiable record as a gold producer. the area of producing ground must be added to year by year-a fact that Is applicable to all placer gold camps. Iditarod in its first season of three months duration produced more than million in gold. The coming year several mere millions will be pro- duccd. These are concrete facts.
 The Kuskokwim is a promising reg ion. II has excellent prospects,; but as yet 1t needs a paystreak. But it is young as a mining region as yet. and is likely to develop several, given time

 A good example of a money making proposition is the flight of Latham during the Baltimore meet last fall. He received as a winner Of the eo as you please exhibition flight five thousand dollars. Then the Baltimore Sun paid him five thousand dollars for sailing over their building in his flight about the city and a rich invalid paid him five hundred for making detour around his residence so he could see an airship in flight The trip occupied about three quarters Of an hour. and when he alighted he had earned ten thousand five hundred dollars.

THE LOOKER-ON

The council-elect should secure d tuning fork so all can get the correct pitch for there appears to be a dis chord when all try to sing together If harmony in running the affairs or the city. and the most modern combin- ation on the cash-box is the result of one man rule let us have more of it. There never has been a one man rule in the city council to the knowledge of the writer. for that is always proclaim ed by lighting and lots of noise. Uncle Joe, in the house of representatives is d good example Of d one man rule and there has been fighting and noi->- enough eminating from that august body to notify the whole world there was anything but harmony.
 When a body of seven men run the affairs of city in a smooth economi- cal manner doing efficient work and keeping their weather eye on the city funds. you can call 1t a one man rule. or a seven men with but a single thought affair. We care not. it should bethe results that counts. but there are even exceptions to that rule.
 So to the council elect We will say, you have got to sing together for a whole year and why not strike a key suitable for all? Some are capable of singing in a high. others in a low key and between these two extremes there should be a harmonic pitch where all can do fairly well in producing har- mony.
