Clements is being held In solitary con-
flncinent In the Hcurico County jail

Due to the fact that DIR. @. II. Collins,
the woman's physician. cmphaucally
stated to Tho Times Dispatch last night
that tho assai!ant had not accomplished
his purpose, because of his drunken
condition Mt the time the attack was
made. II Is the general belief that the
warrant upon which Clements haB been
arrested, and which charges him with
criminal assault, viii be changed to
read attempted criminal assault before
the hearing on Thursday. If this is
not done ii is understood that the
change will be made when the cnes liz

THE SECOND TIME
Miss Chcnault yesterday Saw Glenn
chts for the second time and identified
him az her assailant. Frank Martin
INC messenger who passed her a short
distance before the attack occurred
identified him az tho negro who was
following her. and because of the de-
cription of tho man who boarded the
seven Pines car. which arrived In Rich
inond few minutes after IL o'clock
mat Saturday night, which was given
by Motorman Johnson, IL ~ believed
by Iicnrfco County officers that he Will
also identify Clements.
These identitlCations, with the chain
OF circuinstantial evidence which has
been worked up against the negro, par
tlcularly by County Officers HARDY and
Tillcr, form the evidence which will be
presented against him when he IL given
"a hearing. TO augment this. the prose-

INFECTION WAS BROUGHT
HERE FROM NORFOLK

Tho smallpox infection was brought
into the pcnitcntiary by a Norfolk ne
gro. who was received about two weeks
ago. The disease made it's appearance
within a few days after lie was re-
ccived. AS soon as II was diagnosed as
smallpox the patient was removed to
the loft. placed under strict quarantine
and given quick treatment.
DIR. Herbert Mann. the penitentiary
surgeon. ordered thorough fumiga-
ton or tho negro's cell. and himself
vaccnated the 754 men and eighty eight
women prisoners confined within the
penitentiary walls at the time.
Major Wood reported last night that
the lone smallpox victim has made a
quick recovery. and that tho case was
OF mild type. Although he In COM
parativcly well. the Infected negro will
not BIO released from quarantine for
some timc.
There Is only tho smallest kind of
possibility OF n smallpox epidemic in
the State Penitcntiary, for tho reason
that every prisoner received is vacci-
mated at once upon his arrival. IN tho
case of the Norfolk negro. tho infec-
tion was already present In an unseen
form when he was vaccinntcd.

WOMEN OF JAPAN.
The Old Tine .'Tnree obediencess no
Lenger Dominate Her.

The Old Tine Three obediencess No
Lenger Dominate Her.
From the beginning Of Japanese his
tory to the introduction of Chinese
civilization women occupied very
high place in Japan ana filed positions
of Importance and honor In state, re-
ngion and household Several en-
presses at different times ruled the en-
ptre. The greatest lights in the world
OF pure Japanese literature are both
women Murasaki Shikibu and Sci
Shonagon, Their superb productions,
"Genji Monogatari'' and ''MakuranO
Soshi," are strong proofs of large
measure Of liberty and of high posi-
ton In society enjoyed by women OF
the time. 1t was chiefly the Confu-
clan doctrine of the three obediences:
Obedience, while yet unmarried, to a
father; obedience, while married, to a
husband; obedience, while widowed, to
a son, that changed the primitive state
of comparative freedom and independ
ence of woman. Buddhism and feudal-
ism contributed also to place women
in an inferior position and state of de
pendence.
Many Americans assume that women
still occupy an inferior position in ia
pan under the law. But this is not
true, During the last fifty years fe-
male education has spread throughout
the country. Western Jurisprudence
has superseded Chinese and a great
revolution has come over the social
and legal position Of woman. The
new civil code of Japan created a new
legal woman. 1t proceeds upon the
principle Of equality of the. sexes and
makes no distinction between men
and women in their enjoyment and ex-
ercise Of private rights so long as the
woman remains single. She may now
become the head of the house. She
may exercise parental authority over
her child. If her husband be dead she
may adopt children, she may make
contracts, acquire or dispose of prop
erty in her own name. In short, she
may be a party to any legal transac.
LAoA 'sO AOnS as sue reIhdluS uuudEEAeu
When she is married her state of GOV.

EYES Of A PIG.
Did You Know They Closely Resemble
Those of Human Being?

Did You Know They Closely Resemble
Those of Human Being?
Your eyes are like a pigs. If any
body, told, you so you would doubtless
feel ilsulted. And vet such state
ment would be quite correct. Your
eyes are very much like a pig's-more
so, indeed, than they are like any other
animals, ', &.sa
This 2isz one. of the most curious
truths 4of physiology. A pigs eye SO
closely resembles that of a. human
being as to. serve a very important
practical purpose. Young men who
are learning to be eye doctors are
taught the rudiments Of their business
with the help of pigs eyes. They dis
sect them and practice all sorts of
operations, on them. from removing
cataract to the shipping of the muscles
which control the movements of the
eyes in, their orbits. If an oculist hap
pens to- be puzzled about an operation
he expects to perform. he sometimes
gets one or more fresh pigs eyes from
the butcher and makes experiments
with them.
a, pigs eye in a, live pigs head does
not look much like a human eye. 1t
is small and not very intelligent in
expression. When the pig is dead,
however, and the eye Is taken out it
is hardly distinguishable from the eye
Of person.
Human eyes do not vary much in
size. and in themselves they have no
expression whatever When it is said
that person has large eyes it means
simply that the opening between the
lids is larger than ordinary. 1t is the
lids that are wholly responsible for
ocular expression, which is capable OF
such wonderful variations.-New York
