japanese for girl to go into house of
this kind In order to make money to pay
her fathers debts or to support her fam
lily. The girls have to be of certain age,
and every precaution is taken to protect
them. They are usually sold to the keep
ers for from $500 and upward This cash
is given to the parents, and the usual con-
tract is for three years. The girl is also
charged with the clothes which the pro-
prietor of the house gives her, and he
tries as much as possible to get her in his
debt, as she will not be permitted to leave
until everything is paid, though If a friend
or her parent comes in and puts UP all the
money that she owes him he must let her
go. Each girl has a book of her own,
which is kept at the police office and
which gives a full description of her. This
book is about the shape of a magazine
and about thirty or forty pages. 1t is
much like a passport, and it contains
full description of the maiden. The dress
allowed the young woman is according to
the price paid for her. A $500 girl is usual
ly charged $50 for her dress, and sometimes
beautiful girls have given as much as 5000
for dress. This is all put down in the
book. Two pages of the book are given
up to the laws and rules of the house,
which must be signed by the girls. Each
girl has a, seal of her own, and with this
she signs everything. AT the end of six
years the government usually declares the
contract at an end and the girl is free

How the Life of n York State Woman

From the Binghamton, N. Y, Republican.
We have heard much talk throughout the
county of late concerning Mrs. Martha Gates Of
Maine, Broome county, N Y, that yesterday a
reporter of the Binghamton Republican interviewed
her for publication, and her story, which will in
terest all women, is as follows:
Il was born in Hartford, Cortland county, New
York, AZ years ago. have been married q years
and am the mother of eight children. About two

They are practically in slavery, and most

The Japanese Government and the
Women.
The laws concerning this matter have
grown more strict in Japan from year to
year, and there has recently sprung up a
movement for the doing away entirely of
the system. The Japanese government, in
fact, is doing everything it can to protect
it's people and their reputation in respect
to such matters. No Japanese woman can
now leave the country unless she can show
exactly where she is going and why.
foreign lady taking out a Japanese
maid has to give information to the govern
ment as to just where she is going, and
sign such passports and bonds as will in
sure the girl being properly cared for, and
1t is contrary to law for girls to leave the
country alone. Systematic attempts have
been made to evade the rules in this re-
gard. and during my stay in Japan the
authorities caught parties who were Snug
Cling out girls in trunks. Two girls were
put in tight boxes and were shipped on
one of the steamers as baggage, but be-
fore the boat left there was cry from one
OF the boxes, and upon it's being opened a
plump Japanese girl was found doubled
UP within it. She could scarcely breathe
for her heavy clothes had gotten over the
air holes. The other trunk contained an
other Japanese maiden, and it was found
that this business had been going on for
some time. The people concerned were ar
rested and the girls were taken back to

after the most approved rules of japanese
art There are 5000 policemen in Tokyo
and there are about 2S,OO0 policemen in all

and one of the chief centers of Japanese
crime in every city is the foshiwara.
A Curious Feature of Japanese Life.
I have hestated some time before writing
about this curious feature of Japanese life,
but the interest in such matters is such
vital one at the present time in the United
States and England, and the japanese
methods of controlling them are so differ
ent from those of other countries, that, in
response to number of letters requesting

of crucifixion in Tokyo. The executions
of today, however, are as humane as our
own. and the sentence for capital crimes
is hanging. There is a closed place inside
of the great penitentiary where criminals
are SO killed. Next to this punishment is
deportation with or without hard labor,
and criminals are sent for this purpose to
the Island of Yezzo, where they work in
the mines. In addition to these, there Is
Imprisonment with or without labor in
, the prisons and penitentiaries of the en-
pire. All arrests except for crimes seen
by the police are by warrant, and the GRIM
mails are examined before judge who
asks all sorts of questions and judges for
himself whether they are guilty. l spent
some time in one of the police courts and
listened to the judge examine man, charged
with stealing. He asked him all sorts of
questions, and made him try on some
clothes in his presence, which were sup
posed to have been used in connection with
the crime. His lawyers were not allowed
to speak, and the questions put by the
counsel were through the judge The Jap
anese have the same laws as to husbands
and wives appearing against each other
as we have, but child cannot be wit
ness against his father, nor servant
against his master They can be brought
in, however. in a kind of subordinate
way, but such testimony as they give is
not considered of much weight.
The Police Records.
I spent some time in the rosues' gallery
and in the detective departments of the
police organization at Tokyo. 1t is won
derful how they have adopted all modern
conveniences in keeping track of their
criminals. They have records of nearly
100000 men who have either been in Jail
or, in the opinion of the police, are de-
cidedly liable to get there. They catalogue
their criminals as we catalogue library,
putting them i'll sections and having cards
containing their names in alphabetical
order. One division of this branch was de-
voted to foreigners, and found that they
knew everything connected with every
European and American in the country
