in the tribe OF the Snpais. They live absn-
lutely alone. They do not interrnarry with
other tribes, neither do they mix with the
scattering white people of the regions round
about. When they are in need OF forage or
food outside of that which they can get in
their own rich valley, they sally out, make
their trades or purchases, and return home
They are monogamists, every man having
one wife and no more. They do not live In
a communal form, either. but preserve the
family in its integrity. The men are little
above the average height, they are strong
and active, and they are noted for their
skill in climbing the mountains and in bring
ing down the game they need.
They are very shy and suspicious of In
dams from other tribes. and it is only by the
most careful and adrot means that white
man can approach them and gain any iu-
formation as to their life. The women are
smaller in stature, very fond of adornment
and given to fantastic decorations of their
faces The Supai Indians appear to be far
above many other tribes in morals. They
look with Seorn upon any one who asks them
questions as to their marriage relations,
holding that this is no ones business bui
their own, and the fact that the woman of
the tribe who goes wrong is subjected 10
the most pronounced neglect, and generally
is put out of the way, is pretty good proof
that they are possessed OF sort OF simple.

the splitting of the arrows when the bows
were stretched too taut. Some of the women
who would be seen sitting barefoOteG in
front of their matched roof houses have the
most peculiar big toes that ever were seen
on a human being. The toes were not sG
very large, but they were of abnormal width
at the ends. In some cases the big toe
would be an inch and a half broad at the
end, and very fiat and thin. When Mr.
Wittlck and his party entered the canyon
they found the Supai very gentle and h1spit-
able in their aboriginal way, but very reti-
cent at the same time.
Proceeding down the canyon through the
fertile valley, along which was a slender
stream of never failing water, the Iurrst
and sweetest in the land, they reached
magnificent waterfall, where the silver
stream plunges over a precipice 257 feet in
height and falling in stream of the rarest
beauty down to the pool below. Cotton

seventy-six feet long, and down this the ex-
plOrerS climbed in their exit from the home
of these strangely interesting semi-Savage
folk. The beautiful stream has been used
by the Indians in irrigating those portions
of the valley that were sterile, and it ap-
pears that for centuries they have known of
this method of aiding nature.

POPULAR PREACHE RS.
THE APPEAL Will Present q
Prize to Each of the Most Pop
ular 10 COlOred Preachers.
The People to Decide.

- H. -
TIE APPEAL has heard so much said
about the popularity of this preacher or
that preacher, that it has determined to
have the people decide the question.
And, in order to bring out a full ex-
preston it has decided to offer list of
prizes to be awarded to the ten moet
popular preachers in Illinois, Missouri,
Kentucky and Minnesota.
The contest is confined to the four
states in which TIE APPEAL has Offices
of publication.
The prizes will be awarded according
to the number of votes cast for each con.
testant.
" LIST OF PRIZES.
1st, Prize, Broadcloth Suit, satin
lined, to order, $4,000
End, Prize, Gold-headed Cane, $500
3rd, Prize, life-size crayon portrait, 1900

10th Prize, The APPEAL for year, 200
The APPEAL can not in common fair
ness, advocate the merits of this or that
preacher. Two things are of the first
importance in order to hope for success.
The first is to make selection of
preacher who is possessed of qualities
essential to popularity. Having selected
candidate the second step is to work
for his success. Let one secure all the
ballots possible and at the same time stir
up interest and activity in others. De-
lay in securing ballots are as dangerous
rs delays in other matters. It would
worry one much to learn that his or her
candidate might have been elected by
slight extra effort. A few votes may
be the difference between the winners
and losers. Hence the importance of
carly and persistent activity in securing
ballots. The plan of determining who
the most popular minister is, is given in
order that all may thoroughly under.
stand.
