F|ENDIsH DEVICES
OF WHITE SLAVERS
Methods Employed by White sIavers to
RepIenish Their Ranks.

That young girls and omen need to
be constantly on the alert tofthe devic-
es of agents of the white slave traffic,
has been brought to our attention in
two marked instances recently.
A mother and young lady daughter
vent from Jersey City to New York
City on a shopping tour. TO econo-
mize time they separated, each to do
some errands down town, agreeing to
meet in an hour and a half in Mays
parlor. The daughter finished her er-
rands first. and having time to spare,
was looking into the window of a
store near by. AS the crowd gathered
around her, she felt a sharp pin prick
in her arm, but paid no attention to it
except to rub the spot. She then went
to Mays, as agreed, to wait for her
mother, but as 500 as she had taken
her seat, fell to the floor in a swoon.
The matrOn was called, and the doc
tor of the establishment summoned.
After looking at the girl he said, ''Oh,
it's only a case Of drunk. We will
take her to a window, and the air will
help to revive her."
At this juncture, a we'll dressed man
came hurrying up, as though looking
for some one, and seeing the neon
scious girl lying there, S a d to the
matron, This is my wife; she has
these drinking spells occasionally. l
have a carriage at the door and will
take her home"
Pruvidentially, the mother, who had
been searching tor her daughter,
pushed her way through h e group,
and, seeing the man about to take her
away, S h e sprang forward, saying,
"This is my daughter. What are you
doing?". In the excitement of the mo-
ment the nan fed, d could not be
found.
The other instance is of u Young
woman living in Newark, New Jersey,
who went to New York City recently,
aud after attending to her business,
stepped into a moving picture place in
the shopping center. After a few mo-
ments: the girl felt a sharp pin prick
n-the side of her neck. She looked
around and saw a man and ~ of
ordinary appearance sitting behind
her, but they seemed intent upon the
pictures being exhibited. She f |
dizzy, SO made her way out of the
place and seeing q policeman near by,
went to h i IN and asked him to>tak.
care of her. She was taken to the sta
ton house by the officer, and the SER
geant in charge, as soon as she was
brought before him, recognized the
symptoms, saying, cit is another of
those Knockout cases"
In both instances these girls h Il d
been p%unctured with a %hypodermic
needle containing some strong opiate,
and had not Providence mercifully in
terposed, both, without doubt, would
have been counted among the numer-
GUS cases Of young women who mys-
teriously disappear, aud are forced

done in Chicago the other day when
DR.. Wheaton, pastor of Marie Church,

goods were pitched into the street, by
order of Trinity Church, who state as
reason for this drastic action that the

THE D%arwinian theory that every
L last one of us poor mortals orig
inally came from some monkey, will
find additional favor from the fact that
n DR.. Furness, Of Wa'lingford,
Conn, owned a monkey (recently de-
ceased), that could talk. That is, it
could say simple words, such as ina
MAJ ''papa,' ETC., with an nppar-
ent understanding of their meaning,
and with a distinctness of p~ronuncia-
ton equal to that of an ordinary hu-
mar of the same age. Well, we have
seen monkeys that knew more in a
minute than whole RATS of dirty little
brats that ear clothes (some times)
and are supposed to belong to the sn-
perior ace. The monkey theory is not
so hard to, believe.

sCATHES WOMAN AND
HER LAWYERS PLEA.

"She has exc -uted every promise

Levy.
The Court has made an investiga-
ton OF the charge against YOU" said
Justice Collins. addressing Mrs. Hertz.
There was no necessity for an In
vestigation. as a matter Of fact, but
the Court in the performance Of Its
duty had such an investigation made.
"Your name has long been notorious
In connection with vice. Only God
knows the number OF your victims.
But It is claimed for you that fer
many years you did not betray the
men who prostituted their public Of
fees to conspire with you to defeat the
law.
TT is a sad commentary on Justice
that you should seek clemency on tho
ground. as stated by your counsel. that
your peculiar code Of honor does not
permit you to betray your own Tx.
Such q plea cannot be considered.
THE Court takes into consideration
the homes you have ruined. the anguish
you have caused to parents. the many
young girls you have led astray dur
ing your life. To sentence you to pay
o nne would simply mean to transfer
to the State money you have wrested
from the bodies of unfortunates. The
sentence of the Court is that you be
