Special Agent TlngIe thinks the Popula-
ton OF the islands is fast becoming Of the
same sort ~ that OF the New England
States in the oyerplus Of women; still,
he has analyzed it, and finds the excess OF
women due partly to the Greek Church
and partly to the Treasury Department.
The religious regulations lorbids the mar
rage Of parties where the most distant re-
lationship exists; 1t even extends TO the
relatives OF the contracting parties god
mothers and godfathers. This absurd OBJ
stacle makes 1t almost out OF the question
for residents of the island to marry. Inc
priest controls all marriages. His permlS-
sion il absolutely required before It mar
riage can take place. This rule OF the
Church forces the men to 20 to OunalaSKa
or other islands for wives, and every year
nilorimages are made for that purpose.
The priest first being applied 10, tells t.e
wile-Seeker whom he may marry. While
accessions of females are made to the pop
ulation in this way, no adult males are al
lowed to come from other islands and be
come citizens of the fur-scal islands, with
out special permission OF the Secretary OF
the Treasury.
-
some Of the barkyepers Of the city are
looking forward to the probable closing OF
the saloons at miunight every night with
a good deal Of satifactiou. They say the
measure will result in very materially
shortening their hours Of labor, and will
give them some little ch9ncc for recreation.
