Chinese Torture.

The ingenuity Of the Chinese in de-
vising punishment for offenders sur
passes that of the most cruel people Of
the middle ages. Some time ago a boy
was kidnapped from village about
thirty miles from Chinkiang and
brought to that city to be sold. The
kidnapers were arrested and returned
TO the village, where the people dug a
hole in the ground, like Il grave, about
three feet deep, covered the bottom
and sides with unslaked lime. placed
the offender with his hands and feet
tied, upon the lime and covered his
body with the same material. Then
they filled the hole full of water, and
as the lime Stacked he was roasted
alive and his body consumed.

"What ye bound?" said the farmer.
't'er l60 acres o. free land in the

"Well, IA month or two went by,
and on the same dusty road the

GIRLS ON BROADWAY.
Typical of Whole American Continent,
 English Writer Says.

New York Letter to the Pail Mall Ga
 zette, London.
 Before the great arc lights have be- gun to fizz and glow, processions of work girls, of shop girls, of professional girls have passed Up and down this great avenue of the city, which in vari- ety of interest and in claims to ones attention forms strong rival to the Paris boulevards.
 These young women are typical of New York and indeed of the whole American continent. In independence, in fearlessness, in ability to act and think for themselves, they are clearly daughters of the New World, but in the taste and elegance of their clothes there is something of the Parisia< spirit, of that peculiar faculty for com bining colors and blending effects which is certainly the heritage of the "euvriere," and yet seems by some mysterious means to have become waited across the broad bosom of the Atlantic. You feel an atmosphere of well-being, of solid contentment, pros- perity and self-esteem about the com mon people in the States. This is typified by these well-gowned, bright and pleasing young women who carry out so large part of the daily routine of Uncle Sam. You see no dejected ceuntenances. Why be dejected when you have the chance, or at least the sweet illusion, of being one day called to the highest destinies of the coun- try2

POSTMASTER AT ENSLEY
 SENDS IN RESIGNATION
Candidates for J. w Cayons Place Were Very Active Last Night-Electon in Beat 45 Tomorrow to
 Decide on Inferior Court

Ensley, October s.-6speeial.)-The fol- lowing telegram was sent today to Wash ington, D. C.:
 Ensley, Ala. October ?, 1908. Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, Washington, D. O.:
 Your Excellency-I have the honor to tender my resignation as postmaster at Ensley, Alabama, to which position you appointed me three years ago.
 Faithfully, J. ". CLAYTON
 The resignation of M.r Clayton will make vacant one of the best berths in the postoffice service in this district and already there are a number of applicants in the field. However, it seems to be generally understood the race will be between J. W. Brigman, a member of the present aldermanie board; T. c. Ken nemer, deputy sheriff and president Of the republican club of Beat 45, and J.. P. Curry, member of the clerical force of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company. Of course there a:e other as- pirants and many favor the appointment of w. o. Miller, the present efficient assistant postmaster.
 The friends of each candidate got ex- ceedlngly busy and at a late hour to- night caueuses were being held. The re- publican club of Beat 45 will meet next Wednesday night at the City hall and will probably take some action in this matter. In the meantime the candidates will not allow any grass to grow under their feet
