The Verdict of The Coroners Jury In
The Case Of Willie Lucas, Found
Dead in Denmark.

Benmark. March 2o.-The body OF
WMie Lucas was found near the
union depot last night about 9 O'Clock.
The man had been dead something
like all hour. having been caused by
a pistol ball, which entered the right
side and passed through the body,
piercing the heart. No one saw the
shooting, though it is thought that
it occurred as the trains were coming
in at 8 o'clock. Circumstances, how
ever, pointed to John Love, brother
n,-law OF Lucas, as the guilty party.
The two men were together yeSter-
day, they were drunk. and were seen
in buggy after dark. Love acted IN
a strange and unnatural manner when
told of the death OF Lucas. He was
still drunk today. He claims to know
nothing OF the shooting. At the IN
quest this afternoon the jury rendered
verdict that Willie Lucas came to
his death from a gunshot wound III

attitudes. They keep---so the Koreans
say the devils from entering the city.
These monkeys are also placed on
the palace gates, and can be seen on
the East Gate and the gates Of the
Kyeung-Pok palace
The dragon is also a potent charm
to keep off the evil spirits. His spec
ialty is FIRE devils. A great FIRE
once swept the city and its palace,
When the palace was rebuilt one OF
these dragons was placed on each OF
the esplanades before the main gate.
No fire devil has ever come again"
Mr.. Hulburt tells of the widening
OF some OF the streets of Seoul into
boulevards, which center at the Bell
Place" Here he says, in little
lat;iced building hangs the great bell
of Seoul It is struck every night at
midnight, by means of huge wooden
beam, which is hung against it.
Formerly it was struck early in the
evening. and was curfew signal to the
Korean men TO retire to their homes;
thereupon the Korean women, who
are yelled at an early age and are nev-
er seen upon the streets, might prom
enade the avenues Of the city. At
twelve o'clock the women must leave
the streets and the men could come
out again. The tone of this bell
is peculiar, and the Koreans believe
it to be a human cry-the shrek Of
babe, which as the legend goes, was
thrown into the caldron when the
bell was cast, centuries ago."
Speaking OF the part that America
has played in Korea's development,
the author says Baldwin locomotives
run daily from the seaport Chemulpo
to Seoul, twenty seven miles inland,
over a track built by American capi-
tai and American engineers. A bridge
built by Chicago engineer spans the
great river Han. American trolley
cars carry one through Seoul, from
the grinning monkeys on one gate
to the tomb Of the murdered queen,
three miles from the city"
Mr.. Hulburt, who was formerly the
editor of the Korean Independent.
and is able to speak with authority,
attributes much Of the improvement
and advancement in Korea to the in
huence of Christian missionaries.
Indeed in very few words, he ex-
presses his views on this subject most
strongly:-"The hope of Korea is the
work of the missionaries, who have
done a marvellous work in Korea, and
who will play a tremendous part in
shaping her destiny and in the ad-
vancement OF educational and COM
mercial interests"

ior American midshipmen. The first
japanese embassy TO visit the United
States came in 1868. The editor Of
the Southern Lutheran wildly recalls
his impressions as child when he
saw these strange looking men at
the Naval Academy, dressed in the
gorgeous robes OF the Orient, and
especially his amusement at their
fright when the midshipmen brought
out their steam fire engine for eHhibi-
ton. When the engine blew off
steam, these dignihed men from the
East, gathered up their silken skirts
and frightened fed, Whether the
representatives of State and Nation
doing the honors of the day were re-
strained by courtesy from showing
their amusement, he does not know
but he is sure that one child's voice
rang out in hearty laughter, and he
whose hand he held did not rebuke
him.
In 1860, the next year after the visit
OF the embassy the first Japanese was
appointed to the Academy. Soon at
