The following- significant paragraph is taken from the annual report of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice : — ' A complaint came to our office in the summer that a woman, lecturing against Roman Catholic institutions in a public hall in Brooklyn was selling: to young girls, young men and women, a most obscene book. A copy was procured. It was found to be a book that had been legally suppressed by the courts both in England and this country. The lecturer fled the State after warrants had been issued for her arrest. She subsequently sent to our office 1115 books and 49 electro plates, with orders to have the same destroyed, which was done later.' The creature referred to is at present in Sydney, where she iB ' lecturing ' under the auspioes of certain bigots and underground societies. Comment is unnecessary.
