How Political Pains and Punish
ments Are Melted Out in China.

ments Are Melted Out in China.
W Owing to the disreputable
name which the Kiangsu Expec-
tant Taotai, Shen Tun-ho, was
known to possess, we commanded
our special High Commissioner,
Kang vi, to examine into the mat
ter, when he arrived at Marking.
The said Kang vi has now handed
in his report upon the said Taotai,
in which he accuses him of avar-
iciousness, shamelessness, cum
ming, and parasitical conduct. All
these the said Kang vi declares
he has proof of and asks that an
example be made of the said Shen
Tun-ho. We hereby command
Shen Tun-ho to be cashiered of
his rank and that he be banished
to work on the military post
roads. Liu K'un-yi, Viceroy of
the Liangkiang provinces, and Tie
Shou, Governor of Kiangsu $500
chow, are hereby commanded to
at once see to it that the cashiered
officer be sent under escort at once
to his place of Punishment and
that he be prevented from linger-
ing in Kiangsu province.
HIGH OFFICIALS TO BE PEN
Allied.
(2) Hu Chia-chen, Salt Taotai of
Kiangsu and ex-Acting Provincial
Treasurer of the said province,
having been denounced on vari-
GUS counts for misdemeanor, ETC.,
Kang vi was commanded to in
vestigate them. He now declares
that they have not been proved,
but that he has been culpable of
appointing Lis two sons to import
ant posts in the Salt Administra-
ton, in consideration of which we
hereby command the Board of
civil Appointments to determine
an adequate penalty on the said
Hu-Chia-chen therefor.
(Note.-This official, is an elder
brother of HUI Yu-fen, lately Di-
rector-General of Northern Rail
ways.-Translator)
(3) Certain charges of favourit-
ism and disagreement having
been preferred against Sung
Ch'un (Manchu), Director-G General
of the Grand Canal, Kang vi was
ordered to investigate the case
and now reports that the accused
was too partial in his treatment
of an expectant magistrate named
Chou Shih-yu. We hereby com
mand the said magistrate to be
cashiered and that the said Di-
rectOrGeneral be handed to the
Board of Civil Appointments for
the determination of an adequate
penalty.
HIGH OFFICIAL is SNUBBED.
We have seen this morning, the
cashiered ex-district magistrate of
Tiehling, Fengtien province, Chen
Shih-yuen, whom the Tartar Cen
eral of that province, Yen Mou,
has recommended to us as a man
well fit for further employment,
he being a man of special ability
and talent. There must be some
mistake in such a recommends.

seems to be anything but talented

There are still "reminiscences of war
in the air. Two nice girls who have
warrior brothers, lovers and friends
have decorated a room with the trophies
brought home by all these admiring
young men, and when friends are taken
in to see it they are MOI quite sure at
first whether they are in Porto Rico,
Camp Wikoff OF some other military
encampment. The walls in the room
are. in the first place, covered with
cadet blue cartridge paper, which makes
an excellent background for guns
swords, military caps and big pictures
of military heroes-Dewey, Hobson and
a few others-lithographs framed artis-
tically by the girls themselves. These
frames are of the dark gray cardboard
that is used SO much for photograph
mounts and with a margin of black
painted on directly around the picture.
These colors match the portieres Of II =
room, which are of a dark gray with
black stripes, and are nothing more or
less than army blankets, which make
most effective hangings.
Perhaps the most attractive features
of the furnishings are two beds placed
side by side, simple cots with white
canvas ~valances and at the heads point
ed tent draperies of the canvas. At the
head of each tent bed hangs what in an
ordinary sleeping room would be a wa
ter bottle and glass, but here, to be in
keeping with the rest of the room, are a
canteen and a tin cup. The dressing ia
BILE has a semicircle top draped with
canvas, while over the mirror there il
more of the pointed tentlike drapery.
Over the bureau mirror is another tent
effect. Above each tent are crossed
American flags. The flags relieve what
might otherwise be a somber effect and
give the whole room a patriotic air
The room may be a trifie too extreme to
endure for long, but just now it is an
outlet for the feelings of girls who havC
been working for the soldiers all sum
mer and now feel that their patriotism
is rusting from lack of use.-New York
Times.

his committee was ready to organize
the parade as soOn as definite reports
were received from the other commit
like to arrange details, be said, until
assured that everything else was going
satisfactorily.
81 must also know" said he, chow
much money Pm to have to get up the
parade
Captain Davis remarked. "The coun-
Gil has appropriated thousands of dol
lars for all kinds of purposes and I see
no reason why it should not aid this
enterprise. Il believe it can and WILL"
T. @. Lyons thought the council
could easily get around the matter if
the members really wanted to help
out.
Floyd Payne said he had talked to
several aldermen and thought none Of
them objected. He did not think the
council would let the expense fall on
the shoulders Of the committees He
said money must be raised by
private subscription or otherwis. and
as for the parade he believed every
patriotic citizen would get up his own
float without expense to the city---part-
les not willing to make a d isplay at
own expense should stay out of
the parade.
The committee then adjourned with
b understanding that the executive
meet at John Julian's office
this morning and the ball committee
meet Tuesday at 1920 O'Clock g.. m. at
Payne'S store.

St. Valentines Day.

This is St. Valentines day and the
mails are heavily loaded with tender as
well as comic missives.
Valentines are of two classes, the
sentimental and comic. The senti-
mental class are often highly orna-
mental and expensive prod uction-,
usually bearing pretty pictures On the
subject of courtship or matrimony; the
class are generally coarse and
vulgar productions, and are often
meant to reflect on the personal ap-
pearauce, habits, character, etc, of the
recipient.
St. Valentine is supposed to have
been bebeaded in Rome underClaudius
the 14th of February.

The latest novelty in love tokens is
the ''beloved eye" Of course this is
only an imitation of the human eye,
but the miniature portraits are painted
s. exquisitely on ivory that the eye of
the beloved one seems to be shown in
reality.
The painting of the eye is a most del
icate and laborious task. Only a master
hand can produce the exact color and
expression. This makes the fad a very
costly one, therefore it's popularity is
confined to the wealthy set.
Many sittings ave to be given to the
miniature painter before his skillful
strokes can convey the eyes to the ivory,
SO the work becomes a test of affection
on the part of the man. He is compelled
not only to draw heavily on his purse.
but upon his time.
After the painting is completed it is
encircled with a setting of precious
stones, as costly as the purse can buy.
Pearls and diamonds form the ~favorite
setting, the connecting links of gold be-
ing invisible.
The miniature is then ready to be
suspended from a rope of pearls or a
delicate chain of precious stones. The
miniature must swing low upon the
corsage, so that it may be nea the
heart. For this reason the bauble is not
fastened on the end of the chain, but
hangs midway and has a fringe of jew
eled links falling below it.
The token of the "beloved eye' is
undoubtedly fraught with a bit of
quaint sentiment, though a prominent
society woman gives the reverse side.
With a touch of humor she announces
"that IN man who presents a minia-
ture of his own eye to his sweetheart
tacitly admits that he is keeping an eye
upon all overtures extended by his mas
culine rivals"
The "beloved eye' is a passing fad at
best, doomed to be short lived by its
very eccentricity and costliness. New
