TIED OPINION, FRIDAY, MORNING, JUNE 10, 1905

the great city of Mormonism.
Away we got to good morning
meal like one you would get in a
city where no mormon ever
lived. After breakfast we visit
nearly all the places Of interest,
among them the great Mormon
Tabernacle which is all carefully
explained by our guide. Also a
look at the Great Temple, but no
crossing it's threshold for none
but an extra good mormon may
do that and even many of them
never see the inside, for one has
to keep the whole law in order to
enjoy this privilege and only a
few keep it to all appearances.
We visit also many of the places
made noted by Brigham Young,
who you will remember was the
husband of twenty wives and ia
ther of not few SONS and daugh-
ties, (about one hundred and
twenty in all, | think). At AIS
we boarded the Denver Rio
Grande train, over the most
scenic route in the world, for the
busting city of Denver. This
trip takes you through Royal
Gorge, Marshall Pass, Manitou
or Colorado Springs, etc. The
ride is one never to be equal1ed in
my estima ton in the wide world
and l have Travelled here and
across the sea as we'll. No artist
can paint the beauty of this most
scenic trip. Great gorges with
rivers rushing madly on; valleys
we'll watered, beautiful falls
make 1t all a scene never to be
blotted from ones memory. Here
my trip closes and we arrive IN
Denver, the city of Gold. In the
cars we tour the city seeing all
that it is possible for one to see
in so short a space of time. l
only wish every young man could
make this trip before he starts
out in life for the grind. for it
would help to make life's memory
ever after. My thoughts
Of my many Vermont friends
cause me to write this letter and l
trust you will find
place IN the columns of the Opin-
ion for it, that many whom l
know and love may again hear
my voice as they read. I have
never forgotten you dear editor.
With very best wishes, remain
Yours sincerely, A1
Rev. Ralph GiIam.

A PRINCESS FUNERAL.


Road Made For the Procession and a
Temple Built.
The crown princess of Korea had
been dead a month before her funeral
took place. During the interval a road
was made, seven miles out of the city,
and a temple was built to hold the
body. AS the procession left the
palace gates some of the mourners, ac-
cording to ancient custom, tried to
stop the coffin by pushing back the
bearers, who in their turn steadily
drove forward The idea of this is to
show regret at the passing of the body.
while the memorable power of death,
overcoming all opposition, holds it's
way. During this commotion the
priests, on each end of the platform
holding the bier, urged the bearers
with a long pole, the end Of which was
painted red. In accordance with
ancient custom, the pole was dipped
in pot of red paint, and those bear
ers who neglected their work RECEIVED
dab of red on their white garments,
and at the end of the day those bear
ing the marks were punished.
Funerals in Korea are always sup
posed to take place at night, and to
keep up this supposition men carrying
long gauze lanterns on small poles run
by the side of the coffin and line the
route at the start. Curious and Won
derful are the ancient costumes which
make their appearance on such occa-
sions. Their beauty is not shown to adj
vantage by their wearers, as they are
the poorest of horsemen. Even hold
ing on to the saddle with both hands
is not a sufficient guarantee of safety,
but they must have two grooms to
walk by the head of their tiny mounts
to prevent accidents.
In the procession, which takes the
whole day to pass, are chairs contain
ing figures of devils. Great paper
horses, hideous in appearance, accom-
Oany the collins, presumably that the
deceased may have a mount in the
other land. There are two collins, the
one in this instance contained the body
Of the princess, the other being intend
ed to deceive the evil spirits. At the |
grave side in covered temple the wo-
men of the palace in ancient costumes
howl and moan the night through, |
heir wailing rising above all other
sounds.
The princess' funeral, as a whole, aD-
)eared more like a page from the
Arabian Nights" than anything else

hing like 100000 yen was expended.
