THEFT OF A MARBLE faGCOA.
Astonishing Disappearance From Seoul


Astonishing Disappearance From Seoul
of koreas Rational Shrine.
A theft comparable alone to tie steal
ing of the Washington oGciis.; from
he capital or of Nelson's column from
London has recently been c3mil.tted
BY Japanese noblemau in Seoul, ac-
cording to a Nagasaki core pondent
IF the New York Post This nob,eman
has spirited away from the Korean
tapital one of the most ancient and
sacred of the nations ancestral shrines
the beautiful white marble pagoda Of
Pung-duk.
This exquisite embodiment of old 10.
rean architecture was ideally situat-
ed in suburb of Seoul, where for
nearly 1000 years it has been admired
by sightseerers and citizens as the
most enduring monument of KOrea'S
ancient splendor. Since the recent as.
sumption of her protectorate over ko-
rea, Japan has witnessed the growth
Of desire to make this shrine her
property. In January last his excel
lency Niscount Tanaka. n minister Of
the imperial household WAS dispatch
ed on a special mission TO represent
the emperor at the marriage ceremony
Of the Korean crown prince. 1t seems
that while at the court in Seoul the
yisCount expressed a desire that the
Pung-duk pagoda should be presented
to him to take back as n gift TO ia
pan, but the emperor OF Korea reso-
lutely held out against the proposal.
A few weeks later the pagoda van
ished.
| 1t appears that on the 18th Of Feb
ruary a force of armed japanese APP
peared at the pagoda and proceeded to
take the building to pieces, the work
occupying about eight days. AS soon
as the structure was RACED to the
ground the marble blocks We're loaded
on carts, conveyed to the nearest sta
ton and shipped by train south. The
only Inference to be drawn was that
the pagoda had gone off to be set up in
some Japanese park as memorial Of
the nations protectorate Of Korea.
The facts are that when the emperor
Of Korea refused to acquiesce in the
proposal to present the Pung-duk pa
CODA to Viscount Tanaka that gentle
man got some Korean official to give
II formal permission for the removal
of the shrine. These officials, being but
underlings of the Japanese authori-
ties, obviously could have no authority
to part with the property of the ma
ton, yet it is reported that on no more
valid preteXt than this the viscount
persisted in ordering the pagoda to be
taken down and removed to Japan.
The Koreans are intensely indignant,
and certain patriots have sworn to
take the life Of the traitor who signed
away Korea's liberties to Japan.

The Montpelier Journal asks lust
how things would be made any worse"
i a private corporation should take over
the postal service. We agree with the
contemporary that it would be time
wasted to discuss the subject. We will,
however, cite one point: II private
CAPITAL controlled the postal service, We
should pay postage on distance basis,
Just us We pay express charges to-day,
aud Instead Of sending a letter TO Chicago
for two cents, We should more likely pay
twenty cents. Why isn't the express
business, now in private hands, placed
ON fiat rate? Because the rate at small
distances would thereby be larger than
il is now? Because the companies can-
not afford to do it? In 1898 the Adams
ENprpss Go. distributed for the benefit
of stockholders Sl2.000,000, which is
equal to the par value of the capital
stock of the association; aud only the
other day the directors decided to make
a distribution of assets to stockholders
amounting to 81, O00,0 equivalent to
an extra dividend of 2O0%. DO We
want the postal service placed IN the
hands OF such private greedP

Mr.. EDITOR notice in your issue of
last week what is evidently meant for a
"iticism of my efforts at the recent
graduation.
In the view taken by this article, |
think my remarks must have been mis-.
understood. ! did not mean that girls
should never get married. did mean
and said plainly that girls Is or II years
old should not get married, only in
exceptional cases. | said that 26 years
of age was ordinarily young enough for
any person to embark upon the matri-
| monial sea.
The article states Study Stenog-
faphy, but not with the idea of earning
your own bread for the rest of your
days"
should like to ask the writer how
many married women there are who do
not have to earn their own bread 1t is
safe to say that large majority of young
married women are not so we'll situated
after marriage as an ordinary kitchen
domestic. The cost of living is increas.
ing constantly, but the ambition and
ability of young men and women is not
correspondingly increasing.
The position taken by the writer of
the article referred to is unfortunate :
"Find your mate and become a devoted
wife and mother"
In other words, let marriage be the
goal of your ambition, regardless of
education. When we look around us
and see ignorance, laziness, and poverty
on every hand, caused by hasty and un-
suitable marriages of intelligent girls to
lazy and frequently incorporate hus-
bands, and by the indifference of parents,
we must consider that the position of
the writer is an unfortunate one. II
girls are properly educated according to
their tendency and disposition, if they
are kept in school until they are matured
and learn some gainful occupation, they
are better qualified to select husband
and become much better wives.

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS
Village Sidewalks

Mr.. Editor -
According to the St. Adams Messenger,
a New Yorker, who was looking for a
summer home in Vermont, asked a
Waterbury man seven questions Has the
town good water system? Have you a
good sewer system Have you good
concrete sidewalks? Are there good
drives about Waterbury? Are the nights
cool? DO you get good view of the
mountains? Have you first class hotel
We are compelled to halt at the third
question, despite the certain and explicit
tone in which, for several years, our
voters have provided for new sidewalks.
Last March, after instructing several
road commissioners to build concrete
sidewalks and purchasing full equip
ment for the work, in vain, it was ex-
plicitIy voted that the selectmen build
concrete sidewalks. But what has been
done Has it come to the point where
the will of freemen, clearly aud legally
expressed, is utterly ignored by their
delegated agents? Is it impossible to
elect an official or group of officials who
will in truth be public servants and
faithful to their trust? Voter.
The foregoing letter was received too
late for insertion last week, and since
its receipt the preliminary work for q
concrete sidewalk on Cross street has
been commenced. Further, at the annual
town meeting, June to October was
the time agreed upon by the voters fol
the construction of sidewalks. Follow.
ing is the vote: ~,
Voted that 1913 of the highway fund
he appropriated for the maintenance OF
sidewalks, this amount to be expended
between June | and October /, thu
selectmen to have charge. Also tha
the unexpended balance of the road
commissioners account for sidewalk
tor the past two years be used by the
selectmen for this purpose, in addition
to the amount appropriated this year
provided they have a legal right to us
the same.

of water in the Isle Royale shaft.
 There had been report about the streets that the Helvetia Company had closed down it's mines and had laid oil all of the miners who were employed there. It is authoratively stated, how ever, that there is no truth in this statement. Some of the miners were let go but they will be taken back aoain as soon as the new pumping equipment is received. Owing to the thrush of water it was impossible to work on some of the lower levels and consequently the force had to be cut down. The water difficulty started on the sOO-foot level Tn the Isle Royale shaft. The pumps on this level gave out and the water rose to the 7OO-foot level, completely stopping all work on the SOO.foot level until additional pumping equipment can be secured'- Tucson Citizen.

Fall in Copper Price Saving to Uncle
 Sam,

The Demerick camp has been moved from Pine creek to near Rish creek. Demerick's men are engaged in put ting in foundations for the towers to be used for supporting the transmit ting wires for the new power plants at Mesa, Tempe and Phenix. Fourteen towers are to be used to the mile. The lowest wire on the lowest tower will be fifteen feet from the ground, while the lowest wire on the highest tower will be ninety feet from the ground Two hundred and eighteen foundations made of concrete are now completed. The recent fall of copper will enable the government to make saving or about ZOOS per mile on the copper wire to be used.
