FRENCH SPIRITUALIST
 GIVES EXHIBITION

Paris, February 24.-(Special.)-A well known spirituallst, M. Ferano Girod, has offered to show six scepti- cal scientists how he can raise tables without any physical or material aid, and the challenge has been accepted.
 M. Girod makes his offer in order 10 overcome the philosophic doubts of Dr. Albert Charpentier. who stipulates that the experiments shall be given in doe tors laboratory, With doors and win dows sealed, and under as strong a light as possible. Cameras are to be placed opposite the table in order to record the success of the experiment in a manner beyond dispute
 Dr. Charpentier also asks whether M Girod would agree that his medium should undertake to change the equlli- brium of a pair of scales placed un- derneath a glass cover with an cleo

 Fifty thousand young women and girls are lost in the United States every year. They simply drop out of existence This is not fiction told to arouse your interest. It is the deliberate statement of Theodore Bingham. former commissioner of police in New York city.
 Ample corroborative evidence appears fn the sworn testimony of the United States Immigration Commission on file in Wash ington, to which national and even inter- national attention has been drawn and in the reports of recent cases tried in the United States courts in New York and Illinois, dealing with the white slave traffic. A report of the Immigration League of Chicago for 1910 says that in one year roo young women totally disap- peared between the port of New York and Chicago alone of whom no trace could be found.
 Every year thousands of ambitious young women come to the great cites looking for a chance to better their con- dition and to win an honorable Livelihood. Rich in hope and ambition, but lacking In | e prey to the agents of dlsorderly houses who patrol stations and piers and travel on trains and steamships and are ever alert to discover unprotected women and girls.
 Tn order to protect girls from the exist ing perilous social conditions and to stand between them and the many hands out stretched to draw them to their ruin. an effort was made six years ago to guard the terminals and docks of New York, through which so many destined to other parts of the country pass. Sixteen great railroad systems discharge passengers continually at seven terminals every 24 hours. Eleven lines of regular transatlantic steamship companies land thousands of passengers every year Ninety lines of steamships nIying between New York city and ports on the coast of the United States and all over the world land thousands more. Of this never ceasing and ever increasing multitude of travellers, many thousands are young women and girls, both foreign ana American, who need prot0tion. Friends and relatives often find 1t impossible to meet them. In such cases the offer of a stranger who has shown apparent interest and kindness to escort the young traveller 10 a hotel or boarding house is in many cases accepted.
 To guard against this danger the Tray elers' Aid society, which is the only non sactarian society definitely organized to cover the entire field of travellers and work provides information, advice, gu'd-

 their destination in the city or to trains | or steamships to other points. This su-
 pervision is continued by notifying soeie- ties at other terminal points. until the traveller is known to have reached the proper destination
 The society co-operates with many other
 societies doing travellers aid work from
 New York to San Francisco and also with travellers aid organizations in nine for eign countries. Through these the society
 Is notified that certain person will leave
 for New York on specified day and train or boat. The society then assumes tls
 responsibility of seeing that the traveller
 reaches the proper destination.
 Agents representing the society are constantly in attendance at the Grand
 Central and Pennsylvania stations. Wllle the society feels that its most important work is for young women and girls, men,
 women and children of every age and na- tionality are also helped. In many cases the railroad offiicals cooperate with the
 society. All incoming transatlantic
 steamships carrying first and second class passengers (steerage are cared for by tne governmenD are met at the piers by
 agents of the society to advI'e or conduct travellers needing their assistance to trains or to their destinations in the city ! Rooms arc reserved at headquarters to shelter needy travellers in emergency
 without charge Steamships frequently bring young women to be married. Many
 cases of this kind are turned over to the
 society by the government officials and it becomes the business of our agents to see that a legal marriage takes place al
 once.
 over 5000 persons representing g na- tionalties and speaking 39 languages and dialects, have been helped in the last SIX years For the past year the number has averaged over 1000 a month, the ma jority of whom were women under 30 travelling alone The woman who has lost
 her purse containing all her money and tickets to a distant point or who has been defrauded by sharpers and left pennlless in a strange city. the young girl with the
 wrong address. which would have meant at least great moral danger, the old wom- an confused and unable to find her
 friends, the boy separated from his pro tector and lost, and the woman with small children, are examples of those who stand in need of and receive the assist ance of the Travellers Aid society.

Railroad Against Socialists

London, February 2i-(Special9 9-At the half-yearly meeting of the Metropolitan Railway company s500 was voted to MT Pownall to be paid as a subscription to the Anti-Socalist union of Great Britain in furtherance of the propaganda. A di- rector pointed out that the disturbance in railway circles was almost entirely due to the agitation of socialists, and as railway shareholders were affected they should help to expose the false state ments and impossible promises of the agi- tators. Lord Aberconway. who was Sir Charles McLaren, a radical member of parliament, presided and said the board was in sympathy but 1t would perhaps be better not to press the resolution, as it was not considered In order. Mir. Pow nall pressed for a vote and the resolu- ton was carried amid applause.
