J. W. KEMP.
- Deputy Marshal.
Madrid, May 23—A large and distin
guished party, Including military offi
cers, civil officials and court dignitar
ies, have proceeded to the frontier to
meet Princess Ena of Battenberg, who
Is to make her entry into Spain tomor-
row to become the bride of King Al
fonso. The princess will be met by
members of the British embassy, who
will make the formal presentation of
tile future queen and her suite to the
Spanish authorities. This presentation
may be regarded as the first official
act of the journey. As soon ns it Is
concluded the royal train will start for
Madrid. At all the stations en route
Prlpcess Ena will receive the respect
ful homage of the local authorities nnd
the Inhabitants. As a special honor
sho will be greeted everywhere by the
snlnte accorded to royalty.
The princess and her family will be
lodged at the palace of El Pardo, one
of the magnificent seats of the Span
ish royal family located some seven
miles from Madrid. The palace Is a
large nnd stately building and contains
many famous works of art.
Princess Ena’s stay at the Pardo is
fixed by precedent at slx<days, during
which she will receive official visits
from all the authorities, the officers of
the king’s household, the cortes nnd
the senate. During the week preced
ing the wedding the princess’s trous
seau will be shown to the public In the
senate house, and her jewels, which
will also be shown, will be guarded by
the king’s halberdiers.
Madrid’s preparations for the wed
ding are going forward apace. The
decorations are rapidly nearing com
pletion, and, in addition to the route
which the wedding procession will fol
low, many other streets are being pro
fusely adorned with flags and bunting.
The facades of many houses are al
most hidden by long stretches of red
and yellow cloth and their occupants
have hung multi-colored carpets, silk
en tapestries—many of them beauti
fully embroidered—and other such ob
jects from tile windows and balconies.
Festoons of evergreens, in which varle-
gnted fairy lamps form rosebuds, are
stretched across the streets from Imi
tation palm trees, and banneretes flut
ter from countless Venetian masts.
The national colors everywhere pre
dominate, with here and there a Brit
ish “Union Jack” flying.
Country folk are already arriving In
town to attend the groat public fes
tivities which will both precede and
follow tile wedding. The fetes will
include gala performances, military
reviewB, a parade of representatives of
the Spanish provinces In typical cos
tumes, a royal bull fight, balls and re
ceptions.
Many picturesque groups of peasants
are now to he seen on the streets. The
men nre in quaint costumes—embroid
ered waistcoats nnd knee breeches
adorned with big silver buttons, with
gaudy handkerchiefs around their
heads and hempen sandals on thetr
feet. Others, wearing close-fitting
jackets with silver buttons, carry tar
tan shawls on their shoulders and
have staffs In their hands. The wo
men are dressed in the brightest col
ors, yellow and red, with embroidered
shawls on their heads nr roses inter
twined In their linlr. The women of
the better class wear the graceful
black mantilla, anil are soberly at
tired. v
CRUEL PUNISHMENTS.
tThe Old Time Hue of Torture In Legal
PrOUCNMCN.
The constitution of the United States
and tins constitutions of the various
states la prohibiting cruel and unusual
punishments were not fighting an ab
surdity. The use of torture In legal
processes was not, when these Instru
ments were framed, so remote as it Is
now.
When Sir Thomas Dole came ns high
marshal to Virginia he crushed a con
spiracy by killing the ringleaders by
torture. One had a bodkin thrust
through his tongue nnd was chained
to a tree urftll he died. Others were
broken on the wheel. It Is quaintly
stated that Sir Thomas was “a man
of good conscience and knowledge in
divinity.” Dole's date was 1011.
The next notable Instance of the use
of torture was in 1002, In the Salem
witchcraft excitement, when Giles
Cory was pressed to death—the “peine
dure et forte,” the most horrible of
deaths.
Executions were in public through
out the east until comparatively recent
times. When Quelch, the pirate, and
six others were hanged In Boston, Sew-
ull wrote In his diary, "When the scaf
fold was let to sink there waa such a
screech of the women that my wife
heard It, sitting In our entry next to
the orchard,” though the gallows was
a mile away and the wind unfavorable.
The use of torture to wring the truth
from witnesses Is said to have been rec
ognized as legal In Austria until well
within the century.

by E. C. DeWitt, of Chicago. It is-the

Is probable that you got hold of one
