WASHINGTON STATION
TO BE USED MARCH, 1905.

Mr.. Nathan Well. travelling passen-
ger agent of the Southeastern district,
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, with
headquarters at Washington, spent
yesterday in Savannah. He left this
morning for Jacksonville.
Mr.. WE'LL gave some interesting in
formation about the new union pas
senger depot that is now being built
in Washington by the Pennsylvania
road and the Baltimore and Ohio road.
1t will be the largest and finest in the
country, he says, having a frontage
of 700 feet and costing S14, 000 900.
Work is now being done on the via
ducts, by which the Southern trains
will be handled in and out of the sta
ton, and on the foundations of the
station itself. 1t is hoped to have the
structure so nearly completed by
March 4, 1905, as to be able to handle
the crowds that will attend the in
auguration of the next President.
One of the advantages of the new
station, so far as the Southern trains
are concerned, will be that there will
be no necessity for reversing them, as
is the case at present. They will be
sent out in the same formation in
WHICH they leave Jersey City.

the name of 'yatow,' a name given by
the Chinese to unmarTiageabl young
girls, and man of thirteen or four
teen has perfect right to strike, abuse
and order about the 'yatow' of thirty,
who dare not so much as open his lips
to complain"
Modern Hindoos honor marriages so
highly that no bachelor is ever con-
suited on any important affair, and the
man who cannot be induced to marry is
looked upon as beyond the pale Of
nature"
In Japan. as in China. celibacy is
both eschewed and tabooed, and in the
latter country especially it is all but
impossible to avoid marriage, be you
robust or infirm, we'll formed or de-
formed" Indeed, If a Chinese be sick
with a disease which is practically in
durable his parents will by no means
suffer him to die until they have pro-
cured him wife. NAY, so indispen-
sable is marriage considered among
this people" observes DR.. Wester-
marck. that even the dead are mar
ried." Thus the spirits of all males
who die in infancy or in boyhood are
in due time married to the spirits of
females.

THEY BELIEVE IN MARRYING.
Bachelors Do Not Count for Much
Among Savages.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Savage man is. almost everywhere
a marrying man. Often he is a much
married man. He abhors the single
state. Old maids and old bachelors are
rare in all savage and barbarous COM
munities. The rule is to marry early
and sometimes also to marry often.
Here is one point of difference and d
notable one between uncivilized and
civilized societies. In the second volume
of his History of European Morals
Mr.. Lecky points out that lin no high
ly civilized society is marriage general
on the first developments of the pas
sions," and that 1.-The continued tenden-
cy of increasing knowledge is to rem
der such marriages more rare" The
opposite of this general rule, which is
characteristic OF most civilized peoples,
finds expression in cases where chill
dren are pledged in marriage even be-
fore they are born: among the Tala-
manca Indians. where "a bride is gen.
orally from ten to fourteen years old"
among cartain other Central American
tribes, where the parents try to get a
wife for their son when he is nine to
ten years DID," among the Guanas,
where, as Azara says, 1.-The girls who
marry latest marry at the age of nine"
among InOhI OF the AUSTRALIAN tribes,
where nearly all the girls are be-
trothed at an extremely early age"
among the Santals, where a lad marries
las rule about the age of sixteen or
seventeen. and a girl at that of fifteen
and among the Kandhs, where "a boy
marrles when he reaches his tenth or
twelfth year. his wife being usually
about four years older"
So strong is the sentiment in favor OF
marriage among uncivilized races that
a person who does not marry is looked
upon almost as an unnatural being, or
at any rate is disdained. 1t is or was
a matter OF universal belief in Fiji
that he who died without having been
married was stopped on the road to
paradise by the god Nangganangga and
smashed to atoms" The Santals re-
gard the obstinate bachelor as little
better than thief, and not at all bet
ter than witch, and both sexes treat
him with supreme contempt. In Kaf-
Ar kraals a bachelor has no voice. In
Tlascala a man Of full age who refused
10 marry had his hair cut of for
shame" In Corea, on the authority OF
the Rev. John Ross. the male human
being WIN iH unmarried h never called

PROGRESS OF THE MAR MAR

After the battle of Telissu it became
apparent to the Russians in Port
Arthur that they could not hope for
relief. When the place should,fall the
ships then in the harbor must either
be surrendered or DIS royed. Accord
ingly the Muscoyite adAiral deter
mined TO make run for it and either
die fighting or escape. Even if he di ID

Togo's patrol, which doesn't seem to
have let many of the Russian move
ments escape it, reported that on Tues
day last a large part of the Russian
fleet had moved into the other entrance
of Port Arthur Togo ut once guessed
that sortie would be attempted after
nightfall. Then the japanese com
mander moved more quick V than the
Russian. Darkness fell. but before the
Russian squadron was under way the
japanese torpedo boats had rushed in.
sunk the Peresviet. and disabled the
Sevastopol.
The Peresviet was one of the finest
Russian modern warsh.ps, having
displacement of 12.674 tons. speed of
Is knots, and an armament of four
10 inch, eleven 6 inch. and sixteen
inch guns. The Savastopol has ton
mage of 1880 tons, speed of l7.5
knots. and battery of four - inch
and twelve so inch rifles.
Up to date Togo has lost one battle
ship. the Hatsuse, and one cruiser. the
YOshino. To Offset these losses he has
inflicted the following injuries upon
the Russians: Two days after the war
began his torpedo boats severely in
jured the battleships Czarevitch and
Retvisan and the cruiser Pallada. The
following day the Russian fleet went
out to battle, but was compelled to re-
turn with water line holes in the bat
tleship Poltava and the cruisers Diana
Askold and Novik.
The same day the gunboat Korietz
and the cruiser Variag were destroyed
at Chemulpo by Admiral Uriu, one of
Togo's chief lieutenants.
