have been trying to have them pho O.
graphed, singly and in groups. They
succeeded a mum Der of times in getting
the Indians into Buehman's gallery, but
when the camera was turned on them
come one of them would run away.
This morning the interpreter prevailed
upon them, and they were taken" in
various attitudes, and will make an at

Messrs. Paul and Kemple are pleased
over their final success with the dusky
maidens.
