Geronimo, Apache Chief, Getting Poor.
Lawton, Okla.. Aug. 31— One visit
to the old home of Geronimo, the Apa-
che ex-chief who long held the south-
west In terror, and who took more
white scalps than likely any other
living or dead Indian of the nineteenth
century, would convince . the most
skeptical that his worldly possessions
are few and almost valueless.
His temporary home is one desig-
nated by the war department and set
aside for his particular use. The
furniture and housekeeping equipment
would not induce a second-hand deal-
er in such articles to go very far to
make the purchase. In one apart-
ment of the two room house, separated
by a porch, can be seen an old cook-
stove, with a few other smaller arti-
cles scattered around over the room
in such a fashion as if a cyclone had
recently visited it. In the other room,
which as the appearance of being a
bed-room, was an old wooden bed,
with a few bed clothes upon it. This
was about the extent of the furniture
that adorned the home of the old
A.pache.
The location of this winter home !s
a few miles northeast of Fort Sill, near
Cache creek, in a most secluded spot
5 on the reservation, and ofT the main
traveled roads. Most of the summer
months are spent in tents pitched not
far from the home provided by the
military authorities. In this home
with Geronimo lives his eighth wife,
acompanied by her son, a child of a
former husband. Although the home
is a most humble one, yet to the Apa-
che it is a homel ndeed, and he looks
upon it as a most precious gift from
the officers in charge, who hold him
a prisoner of war.

Bridesmaid's Mishap Rusults In
Small Panic.
Allegheny. Pa., Aug. "/).—"Feminine
Instinct" resulted In the delaying of a
weddlnn, the injuring of a woman and
the causing of a small panic in a board-
ing house.
Miss Melia Oarbarlno, aged eighteen,
had been selected to act as brides-
maid at the wedding of Miss Mary
Offsklnski. While she was dressing
In her best for the great event, she.
of course, held a number of pins In her
mouth. Someone rang the door bell.
Miss Melta hastened to respond. Such
was her hurry she swallowed one of
the pins.
Her yells caused a little panic in the
boarding house where she stayed. Ail
the boarders ran to her aid "The first
aid to the injured" was to stand Miss
Melta on her head The pin did not
move. Pounding the girl on the back
was also Ineffectual.
Finally a physician was called and
the experiment of standing the girl on
her head was repeated, but to no avail
She was then taken to the Allegheny
General hospital, where the pin was re-
moved. Later she returned to her
home and finished dressing for the
wedding, which had been delayed, to
find out whether Melia would die or
get well. When It was found she would
recover—In fact, was already as good
a* new—merriment returned among
all who were to attend the gay event.
And Miss Melia was there in all her
glory as bridesmaid.
Miss Mary Offsklnski. the bride-
elect, was employed at the Allegheny
General hospital. She became ill some
time ago as the result of poisoned dye
on her stockings She was treated at
the hospital and recovered

It U the Understanding Among Those
In Position to Know That Movement
to This End Originated With Senior
Member of the Firm.
New York, Aug. 3C.—'The largest
bond sale ever made by this city is to
take place Sept 10. The amount of
securities to be disposed of is $40,000,-
000. It is reported In Wall street that
J. P. Morgan & Co. are forming a syn
dlcate that will take up the entire is-
sue. or nearly all of it. This report
has had a decidedly good effect in
financial circles.
Under the resolution adopted by the
sinking fund commission, the new
bonds will bear Interest at 4 1-2 per
cent, the largest rate ever paid by the
city. Acting Controller McCooney Is-
sued a statement to the effect that
this offering would probably be the
last at that rate, and that It was the
Intention to ask the legislature to give
more latitude to the city authorities
next year, so that the new channel*
for the disposal of bonds might be
opened, whereupon, In his belief, the
rate of Interest would drop to 4 per
cent, If not lower
Of the total amount Issued. $26,000.-
000 of securities are for various mu
nlcipal purposes. $7,000,000 for water
supply and $2,000,000 for rapid transit
purposes. These are issues of corpor
ate stock, payable in 50 years. Assess
ment bonds to the amount of $5,000,
000, payable In 10 years, will make up
the total.
Wall street had Its first cheerful day
In many weeks when It learned of th«*
Morgan syndicate proposition of Mor-
gan & Co., no one would comment up-
on the proposed syndicate, the only
statement to be obtained being that o
a belief In the success of the bond of-
fering.
As a matter of fact It Is the under
standing in well Informed quarters
that this movement had beeu planned
directly by Mr. Morgan, himself, and
that it was to further it that he has
hastened home from Europe a few
days ago. It is also believed that if
the syndicate obtains the greater part
of the city's $40,000,000 offering it will
have very little difficulty in disposing
of the bonds.
