CRIME IN GREENLAND.

A Country Without ExecutIoner,
Where Murder Goes Unpublished
A good deal was learned about the natives
Of Greenland on the second visit of the mem
bers of the Kite expedition to Godhaven
Though supposed to be Christians-n the
church sense-they have not that obedience
to the creed that would be necessary to quail
ify them for church mem bership in America
The doctrine of original sin they decline alb
solutely 10 accept and they refuse also to be-
lieve in hell-not surprising, considering
the temperature of Greenland.
Governor Carstens said that In Greenland
there is really no law and IL Is impossible to
iGflict any punishment, except small fines
or minor depriyati0ns. If one Esquimau
killed another, or if a member of the Kite
expedition slaughtered native or fellow
member ashore, the Danish Government
would be helpless
In former years the Esquimaux buried
with their dead the kayak and spear if the
deceased was man, and the household i'm
plements II woman. Unitarian ideas
probably did away with this waste OF per-
sOnal property.
At the present time the Esuuimaux 90 to
the Danish churches for the benefit of tue
music and singing, which they greatly en-
JOY. In religion, as In everything else, they
appear to prefer to be governed by their
own traditions.
llTee lDufuerS are on record m Green
land A wicked Esquimau. in his kayak,
overlook an oomiak, or big skin barge,
| manned by women, and wickedly cut big
hole in the bottom, drowning the nine occu-
pants. Nothing could be done about it. His
Esquimaux took no action with a
view to getting even, and he is going around
just the same without much of blemish on
his record.
"You could find him in the Omenak Ford"
said MIR. Oarsens IF any Of you gentlemen
care to hunt him up, you can shoot him if you
like. He well deserves it. Greenland has
no executioner. The Inspector can't go
around hanging people. Neither the Gov
ernor nor myself wants the job. No EsQui-
mau could be induced to do it." Mr.. Cars
stems had noted DR.. Keely's anxiety to get
an Esquimau skeleton. and especially urged
this job on him.
The second murder was one OF infanticide.
The third was the killing of an insane girl.
The young woman was quite obstreperous,
and the Esquimaux held meeting and de-
cded that they wouldn't stand it any longer.
The doctor had given one Of them some car
bollzed oil for external application only.
They administered easpoonful of 1t to the
girl and she became craLier than ever. When
she subsidized they declared that she must be
dead, and so they buried her. When the
doctor looked into the matter he declared
that she had been buried alive. Nothing was
done about it.-Boston Herald.

GRAND JURY.
Martin Kelly's Shooting Being
Inquired Into.

There was no unusual commotion in the
Grand Jury room during yesterdays ses-
sion, though it was expected all the boodlers
who have been summoned would be In at
tendance. 1t is probable that the time was
too short between the notice of the Supreme
Courts decision and the meeting to send out
notices, SO the inquiry was limited to the
local cases already in hand
The first witness WAS John Larkin, the
hackman who was shot at by Martin Kelly
on Sunday last. Larkin complains that he
applied at the Police Courts to get a war
rant, and "when the hirelings for nd that he
wanted it for their boss, Martin Kelly, they
would not issue il"
Another witness in the same matter was
Prosecuting Attorney Stevens, who was one
of the officers to whom Larkin uusuceess-
fully applied.
The examination of R. V. Kennedy in
connection with the sudden disappearance
of the legislative bill that proposed TO pro-
hibit overhead wires in San Francisco for
electric railways was continued.
Registrar w. A. Brown was to have been
examined in the matter of the legislative
bill to reimburse Dennis Jordan in the sum
of S65, 600 on some contracts.
John ID. Miller is a regular attendant at
all sessions of late. He is anxious to testify
against Policeman Green for alleged false
impIiSOnment.

A CATS BITE.
A Narrow Escape From Death Through
Lockiaw and Hxdrophobia.

A narrow Escape From Death Through
Lockjaw and Hydrophobia.
Mrs George c. Bigler of Philadelphia has
been close to death from the bite of cat,
but she is now pronounced past the danger
point, though still suffering severely.
On August 18th Mrs. Bigler was fondling
small kitten, when it fastened one tiny
tooth in the fore6nger of her right hand.
She thought the wound scarcely worth con-
sidering, and, as it healed rapidly, she for
got all about it in day or two. Four weeks
later Mrs. Bigler was compelled to seek
medical attention for her finger and hand
When she showed it all infamed and swollen
to DR.. George T. Robinson, and spoke of
her fear that it resulted from the cat bite.
DR.. Robinson jumped IN alarm and hastened
to get Mrs. Bigler home and under prompt
treatment
The hand and arm continued to swell and
Mrs. Bgler suffered untold agony. Night
after night she lay in bed unable to sleep,
but crying out with intense pain. Mr.. Big
Ter was then at work on New York morn
ing paper and lie was sent for when symp-
toms Of lockiaw set in.
This dread difficulty alarmed the friends
of Mrs. Bigler The glands of her neck stiff
fened, the jaws partly locked and the great
est apprehension was felt This trouble
was warded off by active effort, however.
and as Mrs. Bigler, who never believed In
hydrophobia, kept her mind free from
thoughts of it, she came out of the ordeal in
good form.
Still the Inflammation kept up and Jumps

however, and now improvement has set in
and Mrs. Bgler is in a fair way to recover.
DR.. Robinson thinks that il Mrs. Bigler
had allowed herself to become worked up
or frightened over the possibilities of hydro
phobia she might have suffered from that
awful maladY He attributes her recovery
as much to her own good sense and bravery
as to his treatment Philadelphia Record.

create a terrible stencil in the bitches when
the latter go dry and the fish are left therein
