INHUMANITY OF THE CHINESE
Some Recent Cases of Extreme br"-
tally on Part of Officials

G. Burton Sayer In the Chicago News.
Shanghai China-Young China is ever
CRYING for the abolition of extra terri
toriality in this empire. but unfortunately
instances of the unfitness of the nation
TO assume the responsibility of jurisdic-
ton over foreigners within her borders
occur almost every week. 1t is there-
fore, only Just that foreigners residing
In the home lands should have some re-
cent instances of the barbarity of the
Chinese officials placed before them
Some months ago a tipo Willage mead
mani was arrested within the foreign set
Element limits in Shanghai by runners
from the Chinese city, whittier the pris-
oner was conveyed The city magistrate
forced the man, by ordering him to be
beaten, to sign a statement that ne was
arrested outside the settlement Wheh
the tipo's relative communicated with the
consular officials the magistrate hau the
man tortured for causing trouble with the
foreigners and threatened to nave MIN
placed in a public hanging cage
After protracted negotiations 1or the
relea Sc of the man, the British, Ameri-
can and German vice-consuls last week
went to the Shanghai taotais yamen IN
the city and refused to leave until the
man was given up. They arrived at .
n. M, but found the officials obdurate
and had to reraain until O'Clock at
night-the officials providing them re-
freshment-when the taotai began to give
in somewhat. Eventually they came to
an understanding and the next day the
tjnao was handed over to the custody or
the foreigners. His original o1ehse was
small matter, but he was given zoVo
blows with bamboos and threatened with
strangulation because, to use tine WORDS
of the city magistrate, In his judgment
he actually ventured to cause his brother
IN conspire with foreigners in making the
false statement that the magistrates
runners made an arrest In the settlement.
The tipao is undergoing medical treat
ment and will recover.
Tha second case Is recorded by the
Chinese newspaper, the National REVIEW
which has considerable standing and Is
renuted to have official connections. This
naner n few days ago gave us an insight
into China's penal code. In the account
of a trial In the yamen of the district
MAGISTRATE at Soochow, the native re-
porter says: ,.,s
at Yuenwo and brought him TO the dis
trict magistrate for trial. He stated that
he was a native of Hupeh, aged 81, and
no formerly a soldier AS the prisoner
ala NOT admit the charge Of kidnapping
Tho magistrate ordered blows. The ac-
c,sed was, however, found to be wo-
man and the magistrate, becoming an
prv. ordered his men to give her several
hundred lashes on her bare back. The
woman's story was that her husband haa
d,ad several years ago and, being unable

clothing and Joined the army. The pris-
oner was sentenced to strangulation for
drsssing In male attire and thereby lower

Beauty
Fro m Judge.

Fro m Judge.
There are many kinds OF beauty, ana
many beauties who are unkind.
Some are born beautiful, some achieve
beauty by home treatment, and some
have beauty thrust upon them in beau
ty-parlor
A lorn beauty can often evade duty,
but manufactured beauties pay heavy
tariff.
Beauty is only skin deep, medium height
and very small circumference.
Beauty is The cheese with which a
woman bats her matrimonial trap.
Beauty is supposed to be a matter of
taste, but with some it is lack of taste.
Beauty may be an accident, but no one
has ever taken cut insurance against 1t.
BE good if you would be respected; be
good looking If you would be loved.
Beauty Inadcined must be A No. l.
Rose by another name might still be an
American Beauty

From Judge.
j. is all right to discipline your chill

surest method of making your son rise

The trouble with opportunity seems
to be that it is not bound by any of
the social conventions of life, and sell

The maxim makers tell us that a.
