Hall Elevator and Inspect the
Library-The Entertainment
at the Exhibit.

The Mission exhibit room in the
Potomac block, on Broadway, near
Second street, was crowded yesterday
afternoon by lovers of the quaint and
curious, and in the evening there was
what the ladies style "crush."
In the afternoon Mr.. H. D. Barrows
and Mics Annie Q. Murphy gave short
talks on the history of San Luis Rey
mission, supplemented by few his
toricsl remarks from Jose Antonio
Moreno, who, for 20 years was
attached to the mission. He is
a historical character, being descended
from line of chiefs, his father being
the last chief OF his tribe before their
conversion to Christianity. To HERALD
reporter Jose stated that as far back as
his grandfather could recollect his an
cestors were chiefs. Jose is well known
in Los Angeles, and under his mecnani-
cal direction much OF the fine work on
the plaza church WAS executed at its re-
cent restoration
After the Indian women had finished
making tortilIas and pinole for the edifi-
cation of the sightseeing, Self ora
Coronel and Miss Kelso, city librarian,
escorted them over to the city hall. The
Indians entered the elevator with some
little miegiving, and as it ghot
upward they called upon ell Of the saints
they could rsmem Der for protection, not
knowing how high they were going or
when they would get back. On being
shown through the library and told by
Sonora Coronel that the books were the
"speaking bark" of the paleface, the old
woman, rrininad, exclaimed, "Mucho
libre," pointing to Miss Kelso's head,
sgnifying that there too many books for
one person to read. They were taken to
the Woman's exchange and given au-
dience with bsefsteak and mushrooms.
They did not relish the food of the pale.
FACET was not rich enough for their
blood.
A number OF school children visited
the exhibit, and were given a fine OBJ.
ject lesson by Sefiora Coronel, who ex-
planned to them the model of the San
Luis Rey Mission-a work of art exc
cuted by herself and Don Antonio F..
Coronel.
