DIED IN \ DISTANT LAND.
Iserfyner. the Eskimo Guide. Expires
at A atlanta Exposition.

Iserty ner. the Eskimo Guide. Expires
at Atlanta Exposition.
Tsertyner Is dead. This will be sad
news indeed 10 his friends. who are legion
in the far North. where he was known 10
every one Of his ard adjoining tribes, Tor
Iserryner was an Eskimo and the oldest
and most intelligent of the troupe when
Miner W. Bruce tw.ee brought from the
Arctic coast of Alaska 10 Seattle Inc
visitors 10 the harvest festival IN October
VIII remember the smiling face. the eN-
preston Of which broadened into grin
as some familiar face appeared. for lser-
tyner never forgot face and always rusa-
ed up with outstretched hand 10 greet It's
owner.
Isertyner died in Atlanta. Ga, last Sun
day week. whittier he had gone 10 per-
form in the midway Of the cotton states
exposition. He was accompanied by WeaS-
ner, his wife. Miner ". Bruce, ana the
remainder OF the company, consisting or
Kycquassi a young man. Kerluagner,
young woman. and the 5-yesr-old twin
girls, Zaksriner and Artmarkok, whose
parents are in the far North.
The cause of IseTtyner's death, accord
ing TO the Atlanta Constitution, was pneu-
monia and he suffered from L for week.
He was at the Grady hospital under the
care Of DR.. Duncan. but the constant care
of the doctor and friends did not pre-
serve the l,fe which the ice and cold OF
man was cared for at the Eskimo village
for a time by the natives, but mat was
Of no avail The end was painless after
treatment al the hospital for few days
The funeral services consisted of the
strange rites OF the: Eskimo in which the
mourners each made an address of parting
10 the deceased. and Mr. Bruce took part,
but the little girls could not understand
what had happened. thinking that their
friend had gone away to he sick a long
time and would return when recovered
Rev. DR.. Williamson conducted the ser
vices for a Christian burial, making
short address. and Offering prayer for
the dead mans spirit. Thousands of peo-
pie viewed the remains of the first Eski-
mo 10 be buried in the United States, for
Isertyher's last resting place IS in the
Westview cemetery Of Atlanta, which is
described as a beautiful spot indeed. The
remains We're dressed in the native cos
tune Of reindeer skins. and the hands
were clasped firmly across the bosom The
face wore an expression most natural. and
from its appearance it is said 10 be not
surprising that the little ones did not re-
aliZe the truth.
Isertyner arrived with the schooner Jes-
sic. on September 49, In the North he act
cd as guide for Mr.. Bruce, and it was the
intention of the latter to return next sea-
son on another journey of exploration. and
to remain over winter. Il will be many
months before the sad intelligence finds its
way TO his native land.

He has been lay ing low over in Snortville, waiting for the female gale to blow itself out. He will be in Bungtown next week. and l will have to give up my exalted position as editor-in-chief and return to my old du- ties of sorting pie.
