Standpoint.

AS 1t Is Viewed From a Woman's
Standpoint.
Editor of the Morning Ne,0S: The sun
still rises and sets, if lost for the rest of the
twenty-tour hours. At any rate, neither
city nor railroads can take from us those
two instances of blessed certainty. Let not
my long-suffering sisters forget this fact.
The poet says:
Mans work is from sun to sun.
1t seems to me that among their other per
quistes our lords and masters wish to shorten
their already moderate hours of toll, for
even then ecognize when the sun sets, tho
obivious Of the fact that it also rises The
poet also remarks that 'wOmans work is
never done" and certainly the authorities
of Sava nah have contnved to exemplify
that That poet u lderstoo1 what he was
writing about, for men and servants rise by
Central time, women and babies by the sun
Alas for the thirty-six minutes that we
daily lose waiting for our nurses and break
faSts.
Let the women of Savannah get up a
petition for Eastern time. Let us try for
one month if that will not tighten our labors
and solve at once two very TO u.s. important
questiOns-how to gain little time to rest
and how to get ahead twenty-four minutes
with our work.

A Lively Freshet on the Savanna
But Very Little Damage.

A Lively Freshet on the Savannah,
But Very Little Damage
The rice planters on the mainland in
South Carolina are having a little more
water than they bargained for, but as a re-
suit they will save their entertainments from
material damage. The freshet of last year
did great damage to the banks which had
but recently been put in repair, so that to
prevent a recurrence of such damage
by the present high water in the Savan-
nah river, the Carolina planters opened
their sluice gates and overfiowed their plan
tations. The high east winds have kept the
waters well up, although the river began to
fall here Sunday morning.
1t has been pretty general overflow and
MIR. Thomas Screven Informed MORNING
NEWS reporter yesterday that there are not
TO exceed 100 acres of his fathers plantation
which are not submerged. The damage to
the banks, he thought, would be very hight.
he thinks the damage to the rice crops will
be very slight, as the water will be off in
two or three days, so that the rice already
basnted will escape with but little damage.
a Carolina planter said yesterday that
where the rice has not been planted il NAV
delay the crop, as the planters will have TO
plant after the rice birds leave in NAV.

OVER IN CHARLESTON.
What is Going on in the South Caro-
lima City.

INA SlJY.
Mr.. Robert Probbow, of BROOKLYN. New
York, who was injured in the Hurricane
creek disaster, has been stopping in Charles
ton day or two, on his way back North
He was evidently very painfully injured. as
he is now only able to move about with the
assistance Of two crutches. Mr.. Probbow
says that he is not going to sue the company
for damages In fact, he stated that the
railway company officials, after the wreck
treated all the passengers on the train with
all possible kindness and consideration.
Charleston is elated over the new steam
ship line between Charleston and Baltimore.
The Baltimore sun says of the new line:
The re-establshment of steamship Connec-
ton between Baltimore and Charleston, s.
c., is almost within realization, and an OPP
ton on the Breakwater, a 90O-ton vessel of
the Old Dominion Line, has been secured
On Thursday Capt T. z. Baldwin, of this
city, with two experts, examined the ship,
and pronounced her III every way n proper
vessel to accept for the purpose, if after a
trial, which will be made on Thursday next,
she proves able, with a heavy cargo, to pass
over Charleston bar. She has a capacity of
2,200 bales of cotton, and will for the trial
be loaded at West Point. She is said to
draw about fourteen feet, and her
passenger capacity is thirty cabin and
fifteen Storage. Baltimore capitalists have
been working for over a year in connection
with Charleston people TO establish n line 10y
building two new vessels for 100000. The
merchants subscribed 500, 900, TO W ich the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad added $50, 200.
The Charleston people subscribed, but the
earthquake and its consequent demoraliza-
ton broke off the negotiation. The Break
water option Is held by New York CAPT
talist, who may contribute any amount
necessary to establish li"e while the Balti-
noreans are safe in having their ca ital in
bottomry bonds. This capital is said to
be considerably more than one-half of the
purchase money of the BrealIwater, the
price for which Is $105, 600. Since the with
drawal of the Baltimore and Charleston
steamers the lines via Portsmouth charged
much higher on all freight than was for
merly charged by either the rect line or
the line from New York and Charleston.

KNOCKING OUT UNCLE SAM.
Henrietta Rudolph Charged With
Violating Internal Revenue Laws.

Violating Internal Revenue Laws
There was an interesting case yesterday
before United States Commissioner Lamar,
in which the fair defendant was charged
with selling liquor without license. After
examination she was discharged.
The defendant, Henrietta Rudolph, is a
gazslle-eyed woman Of - or 30 years, who
is living apart from her husband at the
corner of Bay and Montgomery streets, and
formerly kept saloon. Since the city
license was raised from $50 to 500, she has
had no government license.
The testimony as adduced upon the ex-
animation was very suspicious, but appar-
emily not convincing to the court.
H. Matthews testified that during last
month he had bought whisky by the drink
there on two occasions, and had seen one
other buy it by the drink
Charles kolShorn's testimony was to the
effect that he sold her on an average of
from s. TO about SIS worth of beer monthly.
g. K. Lovett's evidence was that he had
drank in the house, but that he had given
her the money TO go out and get the beer to
drink
r. NJ. Gouge had no knowledge that de-
PENDANT had sold liquor, and knew nothing
about her selling liquor.
The defendant male statement with
dignation as she turned, and, pointing to
the witness, said, They all swore to the
truth but that man. singing out Mat
thews He lied. He never bought whis-
ky in my house He got mad at me, and
he has sworn to a lie to be avenged upon me,
because | would not get liquor for him. He
has tried two or three times to get me to
sell him liquor. bought beer by the box
in bottles for my own home use, and have
never sold any liquor since my license ran
outn
AT the close of the testimony Commits
sioner Lamar retired from the room for a
few minutes and upon his return he notified
Henrietta that the testimony was not suf-
hcient to bind her over. She smiled very
happily and thanked him twice over, and
with glance of whitening scorn at the
prosecuting witness which made the rosy
bouttonaire in his navy blue sailors jacket
turn pale, she swept majeStically from
the court room and down the granite steps
in triumph. She had knocked Uncle Sam
and Witness Matthews out in one round.

SMALL POX AT SEA.
a Case Recently Developed on the
Steamship City of Augusta.

steamship City OF Augusta.
Health Officer Drummer was notified yes
day of a recent case of small pox on the
New York steamer City of Augusta. He
at once began an investigation with view
to adopting measures to prevent the in
PRODUCTION of the disease here
The prevalence of small pox in New York
and Brooklyn suggested more stringent
quarantine here, and last week the Ocean
Steamship authorities were notified that
the crews of all vessels plying be-
tween Savannah and New York must
be vaccinated, and that all steerage
passengers must present certificates OF
vaccination before leaving New York, or
the vessels would be quarantined here.
The steamship people, recognizing the
Importance of such a measure, took steps at
once to have the crews of all their vessels
vaccinated, and this has been done.
The case which developed on the City of
Augusta was a sailor, and was discovered
on the voyage from Savannah to New York
a week ago. The steamer stopped at the
New YORK quarantine April ?, and the sick
man was put off. The crew was vacci-
mated, and the ships bedding in
the forecastle was burned, and
the forecastle was thoroughly fumigated.
The steamship authorities kept the matter
quiet, and no official notification being re-
ceived from the New York quarantine au-
thorities it was not known here that the
vessel had had case of smallpox on
board. The sailor had evidently contracted
the disease in New York before leaving for
Savannah, and the period Of incubation
having expired during the voyage down
and back the disease developed itself
Health Officer Drummer said yesterday
that he does not apprehend any danger
from the sin ola iDagpluph Nc
precautions have been taken by the vacci-
nation of the crew and the thorough fumI-
cation Of the vessel to prevent a spread of
the disease.
DIR. Drummer has telegraphed Surgeon
General Hamilton to notify the authorities
here Immediately of the occurrence of the
disease upon any vessels bound for this port
or arriving from here. The ACCESSIBILITY of
this precaution is apparent and the author
tiles will take vigilant measures to prevent
the introduction of the disease in Savan-
nah
