BARBAROUSLY TORTURED.
If, they do not comply they are
terribly abused, sometimes' being
burnedand bruised. Ono little girl,
who had been rescued through his
instrumentality, had one ear par-
tially burned off, besides many
burns and bruises about hor body.
When they enter the country a
blackmail tax of $100 a head is
extracted by a secret society
Known as "Highbinders." This
is a society which is very powete
ful in China, and 'every town
where the traffic in &Isis carried
on, It he formed of Chinamen
usually very wealthy. In consid-
eration of the tax being paid the
society gives the person buying
the "slave" a guarantee that they
will resist all efforts to rescue the.
person, and pay all legal expensee
in connection :therewith. So that
in rescuing these- poor unfortun-
ates:they had to fight this .wealthy
socity, which had plentylof money
and did not scruple to use it. At
one time, Mr. Starr said, . he had
$11,500 worth of the "slaves" in
his possession, so that it was not
to bo wondered at that his efforts
to rescue would bo resisted. Ile
found it very difficult work, as the
people of Vietorja, andlthe police
in part'cular, were very apathetic
and seemed to take no interest in
the matter. Fortunately there
were two or three who gave noble
assistance in the effort to stamp
out the evil. A little home was
established next to the parsonage

society had taken it ever and were
now conducting it. Quite a num-
ber of poor unfortunates had been
rescued; four had been - sent back
to 'China to their parents, and
there wore now six orseven in the -
home. The poor things were so
abused and injured that they
abhorred the usiness which their
cruel keepers compelled them to
follow. If one of the rescued did
anything wrong in the home, all
that was necessary to make thorn'

some interesting etories about' the
capture of these peer unfortun-
ates. There were decent Mee -
men who abhorred the traffic, and
, who assisted in stampingit out.
It 'did not take, long till the estab-

Then some well-disposed China-
man or women would give inform
ation abouen certain girl in a cer-
tain house who wanted to eecapo.
A cab was procured, and ft few of
them would start for the place.
The cab would be left a block

carelessly to the house where the
girl was, ask to Abe her, and the
moment ho got. his hands on her
would rush out, when the others
would jointim, and a rush would

A Mr. Gardner, of the Customs
department, who was an expellent
man in every sense of the werd,
had been so vigilant and earnest,
in watching the ships, that no
subjects had escaped his notice.
Thus to this gentleman alone much
was due for the exeellent results
so far attained, So earnest was
he for the salvation of the souls of
the poor Chinese that he had re-
solved to,go to China as a mission-
ary-, and lie would shortly , leave

Mr. Starr said he would not
like it, to bo understood that there
were. no good Chinese in Victoria.
Although the scum of Chinese
society usually find their way to
this continent, still there were
many Chinamen in Victoria whose
word is as good as their. 1)44 to

objection on the coast to the
Chinamen is that they never be-

Even their bones must be lent
back to China for burial. As

May do for a stupid boy's excuse; but
what ean be said for the parent who
sees bis child languishing daily and fails
to recognize the want of aionic and
blood -purifier? Formerly, a course of
bitters, or sulphur and molasses, was the
rule in well -regulated families ; but now
all intelligent households keep Ayer's
Sarsaparilla, which is at once pleasant
to the taste, and the most searching and
effective blood medicine ever discovered.
Nathan S. Cleveland,•27 E. Canton at.,
Boston, writes : " My daughter, now 21
years old, was in perfect health until a
year ago when she began to complain of
fatigue, headache, debility, dizziness,
indigestion, and loss of appetite. I con-
cluded that all her complaints originated
in impure blood, and induced her to take
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This medicine soon
restored her blood -making organs to
healthy action, and in due time rei!stab-
lished her former health. I Mid Ayer's
Sarsaparilla a most valuable remedy for
the lassitude and debility incident to
spring time."

Brooklyn, N. Y., says : "As a Spring
Medicine, I find a splendid substitute
for the old-time compounds in Ayer's
