The Sioux Indians have now been twenty-six |
hours in New York city, and they are certainly |
"seeing the elephant" to their hearts content.
Yesterday morning the 0gallaas began ITO stir
themselves at very early hour. 'Eary to bed |
and early to rise" is their MOTTO and even here in
the heart of civilization the noble ana delicate red
men of the forest and prairie do not neglect the
habits of their wild manhood.
At break of Gay the braves, half clad and looking
rather frightened began to make their way
by twos and threes from their different rooms until
they got fairly into the corridor of the fourth door.
on which they located in the Grand Central Hotel.
These terrific braves who are equally good at d
free lunch or war dance, may be quite at home in
the canyons OF the Southwest or in the Black Hills
of the Reservation, but they invariably lose their
trail in the long corridors of the Grand Central.
The fact Is the Ogaalas not acquainted with the
arithmetical numbers, and consequently when a
brave leaves his room in search of fire water a
lemonade with stick in it he is never able to get
back without being brought back by some of the
interpreters. 1t is amusing to see a powerful ana
sagacOus chief like Red Cloud emerging from the
large room which is used as q council chamber by
them. For mement he stands in the corridor
looking darkly around him for the room which he
occupies, as II his eyes dazed by the sun
on vast prairie. He is utterly lost ana
cannot find his way. There is no trail for him here
no broken twig blade OF grass such those
which the Bowery Theatre Indian usually seeks for
in his blood-curdng frontier dramas Here is
nothing but smooth soft carpet and frescoed cell
ing, with white walls all arc und him. Presently
fne tall looking Irish girl, clad in white and
quisitely shaped, who has charge OF the floor walks
by, and with her finger directs Red Cloud to his
room. The big chief givesa grunt of relief, the door
opens, and his stawart form is soon lost to view.

Between eight and nine O'Clock council was
held OF the principal braves and the chiefs, Red
Cloud and Red Dog in DR.. Daniels room, No. 42s
at which the interpreters, Mr. McCree, OF the In

| yesterday some OF the Indians took walk on
Broadway, much to the cddcatton of the oungers
| thereon, and Mrs. Lone Wolf and Mrs. Big Foot
made several purchases in the dollar stores and
were sold" pretty elrectualy. Several of the
braves expressed a desire to carry oil some OF the
| female clerks to Wyoming and make squaws of
them for better or for worse, but as there are no
picnics in the Indian reservation the dollar store
| girls did not manifest much enthusiasm in the
/ premises.
Some OF the ogallalas also craved permission to
gaze the hours Of the concert saloon dens. but

their cost, refused permission to these braves Of

Last evening, after supper time, the Indians
congregated In the large room assigned them, and
as they felt pretty good, they sung what they call
their bowling fearful, and could Parepa or
Kellogg have heard it for about five minutes they
would certainly have taken TO the woods In terror

opened there in "Richard ILL., The song, as near
as 1t could be interpreted for the HERALD reporter

And so on for a thousand verses, more or less
and the fumes OF smoke from the wooden pipes
were foretaste of the plaques of Egypt
But the great treat came for the Sioux braves in
the evening. They had been invited to
"Hnmpty Dnmpty," at the olympic Theatre and
about eight O'Clock Red Cloud Red Dog Little
Wound, Blue Horse, Red Leaf two OF the interpret
ers and DR.. Daniels, the agent, with his little boy
visited the theatre. The braves were in full Indian
costume Red Dog having a red blanket and chiefs
cap, and the other braves being in full Indian cos
tune. They stalked into the theatre cool as cucum
bers and took orchestra chairs, without saving a
word. Red Dog had a big ten cent fan that some
lady admrcr had given him in a dollar store
and he felt so happy that he took
- a 10 ola
hammer at the hotel-and sat the performance out
in his shirt sleeves. They delighted with the
pantomime; children and savages prefer the panto-
mime. The Wild Indian IL a stod being naturally;
he does not believe in manfesting astonishment or
