Mayor Schumacher's property west of the Windsor Is assessed at $50OO. He demurred, saying the assessment was excessive. Judge Barnes, who said that the price for the lower wedge at s46jG0 was high and was not worth half the sum, offered MT.

CATHOLIC SERVICES
How Christmas Was Recognized in
 St. Mary's Parish.

St. Mary's Catholic church was pro- fusely decorated with flowers and ev- ergreens for Christmas day. the crib resting beneath the boughs of two ev- ergreen trees. The day was one of all most continuous services.

WOMEN'S WORK IN JAPAN.
Girls Employed Now as Conductors of
 Railroad Trains.

The social condition of women is a fairly trustworthy measure of the civ iliZation of a state, and judged by the standard. Japan has hot yet reached the summit of western culture. This fact, however, is not a reproach, see ing that it is not long since even Eu- ropean nations have bridged the abyss which sunders former barbaric GUS toms from the humane legislation of today. And the Japanese are even now working hard to initiate us. Hitherto. and indeed at the present moment, the ranks of female hands in Japan are recruited from among the rural popu- lation by agents. who induce the coun- try lasses to sign contracts for quite a number of years-the best part of their lives. And thef wages averaged Sd. day! For that miserable mess of pottage the girls not only labor hard during working hours, but permit themselves to be wholly isolated from the outer world, just as if they were in prison, q hospital or q nunnery. Thus they are entirely in the power of their employers. the least scrupulou us of whom take an unfair advantage of their helplessness. Thanks to the in itiativeness of the press and the high spirit of q few wealthy firms. a strong and lurid light has. been thrown on those dark places in Japan, and re- dress is already in sight. The Man chester of the Mikado's realm is Osaka, and it was the terrible state of things in vogue in the mills and works of that city which first attracted attention. The slaves of the southern states of North AmerIca had a better time than some of the wretcked ~girls in Osaka, the products of whose labor were thrown upon European markets at nominal prices. Happily the guild of weavers has now set to work to bet ter the lot of these helots. and it's cf- forts are being reinforced by govern ment employees.
 Cautiously enough. in the higher callings and professions which require skill or scientific training instead of mere manual labor there was hardly any field for woman's activity. Thus in none of the ministries or govern ment offices was a woman to be found as civil servant. The respectable firms of merchants likewise rigidly excluded members of the fair sex, refusing to employ them as saleswomen: only in

a few cheap ba=aars. where the work
 was very fatiguing and the pay utterly
 inadequate, were women to be seen
 behind the counter. But here. too. a
 beneficent change i5 being made. The
 firm of Mitsui, the WeaVers, for eX- ample-one of the wealthiest in Japan
 have j'!st decided to take on girls.
 For a considerable tin past women
 have been engaged at railway stations,
 especially in dealing with passeng er traffic, and now the Sanui liHe. which
 had hitherto eliminated the female
 element. has completely broken with
 it's traditions, and in the future the passengers by that coInpany's line will 1 be looked after by lady conductors, and perhaps lady controllers as well. The Crown Prince of Japan takes a keen ! interest in this movement which aims
 at making life less miserable to his fu- ture female subjects, and he has begun
 by setting an excellent example. He
 has married but one wife and has all lowed it to be generally understood that he is, and intends to remain, a mOnogamist to the end of his days.

MAYOR FAV0RS PLAN.
Savannahians Want Presentation to
BnttIeship Georgia Made Here.

Mayor Herman Myers and the MEM
bers of City Council are heartily in
favor of the plan to have the presen-
tation of the silver service to the bat
tleship Georgia at Savannah. The
Mayor has so expressed himself and
will do all in his power to further the
plan. He realizes that the carrying out
of such a programme would attract
thousa nds of people to the city.
1t is expected that the battleship
that will bear the name Georgia will
be completed in about year. but the
programme in contemplation would
have to be arranged a long way ahead
of time. Thousands of people in the
interior who have never seen a mod
ern war vessel, would flock to Savan-
nah to attend the presentation. Mayor
Myers, like every one else who has
been spoken to, understands that the
presence of so many people in the city
would be of great benefit and for this
reason will do all within his power to
have the presentation take place in the
harbor here.
Miss Louise DuBose of Athens is
now engag ed in securing funds for the
purchase of a service for the battleship
under construction, and which is near
ing completion. 1t is proposed to have
the people of the state present some
thing magnificent, and it would appear
that there will be no great difficulty
in having the warship come to this
harbor to accept the gift of the people
of the state whose name she will
bear.

RUBIN IN MORE TROUBLE.
Arrested Upon n Peace Warrant Pre-
ferred by ID. VI. March,.


The Rubin-Marcu, breach of promise
suit in garnishment case took on a
new phase yesterday morning, and as
a result Rubin will be given pre-
liminary hearing this afternoon by
Justice Bevans upon peace proceed
ings. preferred by D. NJ. March,, his
former partner in business.
The affidavit alleges that Rubin
went to the March, home Thursday
night and threatened to kill the whole
March, family and then kill himself.
He appeared to be crazy and made
frantic gestures. though exhibiting no
weapons.
The information also alleges that
March, is afraid of Rubin and seeks
the protection of the law to prevent
him from doing him OF his household
bodily harm. Rubin was arrested ana
taken before Justice Bevans and was
sibility of his counsel. Judge II. D. D.
Twiggs, for his appearance for an ex-
animation this afternoon.
A few weeks ago Rubin, who was
in the dry goods business with March,,
and engaged to the latter's sister,
suddenly left the city Later he re-
turned to Savannah, and Thursday aft
ernoOn a suit for breach of promise
was filed against him in the City
Court by Miss Rachel March,, claiming
damages in the sum of $500. The
grounds for the suit being a former
agreement between them specifying
that the one failing to keep the en-
gagement troth should forfeit this
amount to the other.
After the suit had been filed a gar
nishment was sworn out against Ru-
bin by Walter p. LaRoche, attor-
ney for Miss March,. the same being
served upon Rubin by Deputy Sheriff
Horrigan, late Thursday afternoon
just as March, was in the act of pay
ing over to Rubin $500, as his interest
in the business.
The manner in which the garnish-
ment was served upon Rubin was gen.
orally discussed yesterday, and the
opinion prevailed that a scheme was
planned and engineered to get posses
sion of the amount to be paid Rubin
by March,, and that the officer de-
ferred serving the attachment until
the money was produced, he being in
waiting on the premises for this OPP
pOrtunity.
Judge Twiggs, who will represent
Rubin, stated to Justice Bevans
that he was not at all satisfied
with the methods adopted in serving
the attachment against Rubin. but
that at present he did not know just
what steps will be taken in the mat
ter.

HAMMoCKS FOR PRISONERS.
They Are Figured in improvements
For Police station.

Extensive and much needed improve
ments are going to be made on the po-
lice station house, and an architect is
now preparing plans that will probab bly,
be submitted to Council for its APPROX
al Wednesday night, when a special ap-
preparation will be asked for by the Po-
lice Committee.
The second floor Of the new building
that faces on Habershan street VIII De
remodeled, converted into prison, and
connected with the second floor Of the
old station house by a bridge. II IS
also planned TO purchase hammocks for
the thirty or more cells in the prison,
so that prisoners will not be forced to
sleep on the floors. This improvement IS
prompted by a humane feeling, and 10
lessen the likelihood of prisoners be
coming i'll because Of accommodations
furnished at the station house.
The cost Of the hammOcks will not
be a great deal. and the appropriation
that viii be asked for will be for the
improvement of the new building that
has never been Of any material service
since its construction several years ago.
Only the second floor of this building
will be transformed into a prison, and
the lower floor will remain as it is at
present. There will be four rooms and
lnty VIII De utilized from time TO time
as the superintendent of police thinks
best. Il has already been decided that
one of these rooms will be used as a
hospital ward, and the operating room
of the police surgeon will be moved
from the first floor, where it is now To-
Gated.
The other rooms will be used in spe-
ciel cases. One of them win probably
be fitted up with beds, and viii be used
exclusively as room of detention. It
is often the case that witnesses are de-
tanned by the police because they do not
live in the county, and il is feared that
they Will not put in an appearance at
the proper time. 1t is the purpose of
the police to make such individuals as
comfortable as possible during the time
that they are being detained. 1t is also
necessary to keep important prisoners
apart from others, and one of the rooms
Will be used in such cases. The police
department has been in need of such
accommodations for a long while, and
il is believed that Council will make the
appropriation without raising any ques-
ton. The work will probably be begun
Just as soon as Council has settled on
the matter.
