WOMEN IN DIFFERENT LIGHT Marriage Contract Over Two Thou saad Year Old Deciphered jr Egyptologists. TOLEDO. O.. Dec. 21. A marriage con tract over S.OiO years old discovered In a tomb near Cairo, Egypt, and now fn the collection of the Museum of Art, Toledo, O.. lias. It is announced today, been de ciphered by the egyptologlsts at the Uni versity of Btrassburg, Germany, and found ta be from a historic standpoint one of the most Important documents brought to light In recent years. Oooige W. Stevens, director of the Toledo museum, cays: The papyrus determines two matters of great importance. It establishes the period - of an Egyptian Pharaoh, whose time, ot reign has b.-en hitherto unknown, and gives us documentary evidence of the exalted financial position accorded to married women In Egypt three centuries lfore Christ a position almost undreamed of itnd unhoped for by the most enthusiastic ihw woman of these modern day. The lost pharaoh whose, period of reign Is es tablished la Khabbasha, and the time la 1M1 B. C. From the translation It Is established that In case the wife repudiated the hus band she allowed him to take back half his dower. This is the reverse of modern customs, especially In European countries, where the wife Is expected to contribute the dot or dower. The Kgyptian husband not only received nothing from the bride. '. but had to put up a bonus to make him self a matrimonial possibility. The docu ment shows that In case of a separation he was allowed by the wife to take hut one-third of the moneys they should have ' acotilred together, during the time they were murrled.

SACRAMENTO, Cal., tec. 21.-Orders from the general offices of the Southern Pacific In San Francisco were posted yes terday In, the local railroad shops to the effect that the shops will dose with the exception of enough men to handle round house work next Tuesday and remain closed until January 1, It Is stated unof ficially that aftee-the first of the year tho force In each of tho shops will be reduced, or the men will be given from three to four days a week. It also said that a similar reduction will be made all over the Harrl- man system In the west. Two thousand men will be affected In this city. "I presume the yuostloo all depends upon conditions at the first of the year," said T. M. Orr, assistant to Vice President Mohler of the Union Pacific. "If business dros off to any great extent I presume they, will not need the present large force which ! maintained at the local shops. It may not be necessary to reduce the forces or to cut the working time of the men, but It Is a matter which will have to be de termined after the first of the year." Mr. Mohler, himself, was out of the city when tl.la press dispatch came. The Bee mas given to understand that no ordeia had been Issued to W. K. McKeen, super intendent of motive power and machinery, and therefore head of all the shops of the Union Paclflc, corresponding with the re port from Sacramento.

Mr. Orr Saturday morning confirmed the report published In The Bee that orders had been given for a week's layoff of shop forces for the holidays for the reasons stated, but he said no orders for a reduc tion In the force had gone out. Outside of official circles there Is a be lief In the credablllty of the Sacramento report and the order for a week's holiday la taken aa merely a forerunner of a sec ond order for a shorter force.
