Geronimo Now ; Murderous Apache Chieftain. Joins the Church. Awed by Storu of the Thief on the Cross. G' ERONIMO. In the twilight of his life, has given his Indian heart to God. The one time chief of a murderous band of Apaches has joined the Methodist church. Hehas taken the lolemn vow that makes him a follower of the gospel of love. It was an impressive moment when the decrepit warrior of the plains bowed bis head and received the drops of wa ter that symbolized his change of heart. The old spirit of defiance was gone and In its stead was a gentle mien of sub mission. The man who had slaughtered Innocent women and children, ambushed the luckless paleface, was under the spell of the precept of the Great Peacemaker. Taken from his prison home at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, to a little church not tar away, Geronimo professed his new GERONIMO. (Murderous Apache Now Is Said to Be a Peaceful Methodist.) faith before a great crowd of whites and Indians. Geronimo was not alone In his profession. Twelve of the men who had followed him Into many a revel pf death and destruction also joined the church. After the ceremony they went back to prison, where, In the custody of the United States government, they may spend all their days. Rarely have the simple prairie folk of the west seen such a ceremony as that which made Geronimo and his little band a part of the great army of Chris tians. The minister's words were :hosen as though he were talking to little children. On one side was a pic turesque group of Comanches, on the other the Apache warriors. Each tribe had Its interpreter, standing In the fore- ground repeating the words of the pale face preacher. The minister told the story of Him of Galilee. The tragedy of the cross was Described in words that brought tears to the bronzed cheeks of the men around blm. "Christ came," said the speaker, "not to save the white man alone, but to bring everlasting Joy to all the world." The red men learned how they could CARDINAL D. SVAMPA. Famona Italian Churchman Noted for His Reunion Zeal and Hatred of Klntr of Italy. One of the most powerful members ot the college of cardinals Is Archbishop Svampa of Bologna, Italy. He is the youngest of all the Italian cardinals r-A Rni N A I. n S V A M P A (Archbishop of Bologna and a Power In the Catholic Churoh.) whose names have been in the papers lately in connection with the papacy. His age Is 62 years, and he was created a cardinal In 1894. Svampa longs for that era, long gone by, when the Idea prevailed that the pope should take the first place among the secular princes of Italy. He avoids the present king on fvrv DORRlhlA nprnftlnn. na rm did hla ,ate lamente(J father Emmanuel, and the klng.g grannfatheri whom he pos, tively hated. Some superstitious Ital ian cardinals supported Svampa's can didacy because of a very curious fact. There Is a prophecy dating from the . twelfth century, according to which Rome would In time see a line of popes Indicated by certain symbols. The "Svampare" denotes "flame," and therefore It was believed that the old prophecy pointed to Svampa, and that In time his light would be sure to shine in the papal slty. Cardinal Svampa Is a very large, rather coarse-looking man and In striking contrast to the late pope, the most spiritual pontiff who has ruled these many years. Cata to Flitht Prairie Doara.

The thief on the cross was not forgotten In the Scriptural story. This part of the sermon seemed to ap peal with peculiar force to Geronimo, about whose withered face played a wan smile. The New York Herald says that when the sermon was done the doors of the little church were thrown open and Geronimo and his 12 companions passed Inside. They moved to the front and there, through the medium of inter preters, they professed their love for and faith in the white man's God. They wanted to "walk the way of JeBtts," they said, and atone for the deeds of the past Then Geronimo and the others bowed their heads In turn and were baptized "In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, amen." Thus the grim old warrior who had terrorized the southwest for years and defied the majesty of the great father's govern ment became a Methodist and set his face serenely toward the fast setting sun. The story of Geronimo and his tribe of hostile Indians Is not unfamiliar to American readers. The tribe was for years the terror of Arizona and New Mexico, where they killed and burned without mercy. Men, women and even children were their victims, and, not sat isfied with ordinary murder, they often mutilated those they slew. Many attempts to capture the band and bring it to Justice were made with out success. Finally Lieut Gen. Sheri dan planned the pursuit, capture and destruction of the band. The expedition against the outlaws was led by the late Gen. George Crook, who came Into close conflict with Geronimo March 25, 188C. To the demand for an unconditional surrender the Apay-he chief declared that he would give himself up only on con dition that the band, with their families, be sent east for a period not exceeding two years and that they be then ret urned to the reservation. On the way the In dians escaped. Gen. Crook was then succeeded by Gen. Nelson A. Miles, and there followed the memorable pursuit of Geronimo and final capture. Gen. Miles and MaJ. Gen. Lawton cor nered Geronimo In the Four Peaks basin, near Prescott, Ariz. After months of starvation and after all hopa of cutting their way through the cor don of troops surrounding them had gone, the Indians raised the white flag. They were first sent to the military post at Mount Vernon, Ala., but the climate there did not agree with them. Many of the band died from consumption. STICKS TO COACHMAN. Coanteaa Rnaaell llecomea Reconciled to Dill Brown, Who Maaqae raded aa m Prlne. ! The announcement that Countess Ma bel Russell has forgiven and become reconciled to her husband, a coachman named William Brown, who married her last December under the title of Princt Aphrobald Stuart de Modena, hat caused much gossip In London. Countess Russell, at the time of Brown's convic tion for making a false entry in the mar riage entry, said she would have noth ing more to do with him, and that she would try to secure a divorce. Now, however, she says that, although" he wronged her, she will stick to him. She claims she will not lose her title by hei marriage. Few women in British society have been more discussed than the countess. By curious irony of fate, she bears the title which was held for halt a cen tury by the remarkable woman who, first as the wife and then the widow of tho statesman affectionately known to the British people as "Lord John Rus sell," held a position almost unique In society, her home, Pembroke lodge, Richmond Park, having been visited by COUNTESS RUSSELL. (True to Her Coachman Lover, Dut Stil! an ArUtocrut.) most of the distinguished men and wom en of the Victorian era. The countess, notwithstanding hei youth, has had a variegated career. Slit was the wife of Earl Russell, from whom she obtained a divorce on the ground that he had contracted a bigamous mar riage with Molly Somervllle, at Reno Nev. On his return to England the earl was tried for bigamy, was convicted and spent three months In jail. The count ess has been quite successful on th stage. I a i KJW M In married life Is generally V.t - St made on equal footing k.' '.y nt t,-.1t 1h Mint, ntl1 u-lf. But how soon, in tttnttj cases, the wife loses the start and fades in face and fails in flesh, while her husband grows even more rugged and robust. There is one chief canse for this wifely failure and that is, the failure of the womanly health. When there is irregularity or an unhealthy drain, inflam mation, ulceration or female weakness, the gen eral health is toon im paired. Dr. Tierce's Favorite Prescription cures woman Iv diseases.
