were registered for them, their rooms allotted, and
turning they quickly seated themselves in the ele-
vator, and were hosted upstairs. To describe them
is scarcely possible. They well-built, muscular
looking men, with the distinctive prominence Of
cheek peculiar to the Indian and wear their hair
long, with their scalp-locks prominently arranged

Father Granp was the owner of it all, but they did
not compliment him for any nberalty. In the coin
age department they were presented with hve-cent
pieces by Colonel Snowden and he also gave each
a silver dollar. From their facial expressions, we
judged that they evidently thought that the Colonel
was a "briCk."

watched everything closely. From the Mint the
