the worst for lawlessness that ever in- tested the Western country. He was chased for many months by troopers of the army under the leadership of some of the most noted generals known in the annals of Indian warfare. From the pres ent limits of the Indian Territory almost to the waters of the Pacific Ocean Geron- imo and his followers, who had conttnu- ally harrassed the white settlers. were followed, and only surrendered when worn out from lack of food and the terrible pri- vations of such a chase.
 General Lawton who lost his life in the Philippines, was Geronimo's captor, and since that time Geronimo has been pris- oner of war. From the fierce Indian chieftain, whose name was such a terror to civilization, he became the most sub missiVe of all the prisoners who were cap tured with him. He lives on the Govern ment resrvation here, spending most of his time loaflng about. reporting to the officers of the fort once every day. He shows no disposition to return to his past wild and free existence, but is satisfied to live as a prisoner of war. His wants are few, and for those, aside from what pro- vision is made for him and the other Apache prisoners of war by the Govern ment, he secures in his own way small sums of money. This latter Is about equally distributed between the proceeds of his sale of photographs to the curious whites continually visiting this army post and that of watermelons among officer s and men of the garrison. He is a model prisoner

 The little republic of San Marine, in the south of Europe, is another secure strong hold for American fugitives. But 1t is so small that the average evil-doer does not seek it, out, for fear that he may toss in his sleep and roll over it's frontier into Spain. And far to the eastward there is Sarawak, in the East Indies, where an Englishman holds forth as absolute mon arch and every stray soldier of fortune is welcome
 Were he to be daring knave, an Amer ican fugitive might find safety, at least from American justice. in dozen or more of the queer nations of Central Asia though 1t is more than likely that the natives would soon finish him. In Af- ghanistan the Ameer would be glad to see him. and in Beloochistan the rulers of the state would treat him as 8 distinguished visitor. In Tibet proper he would be un- der the eye of the Chinese authorities, but outwardly Thibet Is not Chinese ter- ritory, and the treaties with China do not affect it.
 High up on the Central Asian table, land are perched Kafristan and Turke- stan, neither of which recognizes even the existence of the United States. South east of Arabia is the independent king dom of Oman, and toward the north are Kokhara and Khiva, vassals of Russia but still not affected by Russian treaties And in Africa there is the vast expanses of the Congo Free State-unhealthy, may be. but still safe. Tn the west are Borum and Waday. indeoendent kingdoms, and kanem and Bogirmi. no-mai's land.

Out of the Reach of Law.

Chicago Tribune.
 There are scores of little nations with which the United States has no treaties at all. Abyssinia is one. and were an American fugitive to reach Addis Aba ba he might remain there for the rest of his life without fear of molestation. In the West Indies are two republics in which inc American evil doer is almost as se- curelv safe. One is Hayti, and the other ia Santo Domingo. Both are usually so torn by revolutions that the existing gov ernment is almost unrecognizable. In consequence. both are favorite resorts for American adventurers, and fugitives of the more enterprising sort. One Ameri- can who left New Orleans inconspicuous- ly because of a little difference with the law. rose to high rank in the Haytian army. and was eventually killed In fight

EUROPEAN MAYORS
 HURRY MARRIAGES.

Tn the small town of Plougastel-Da Daoulas, near Brest, according to tradition. 1t is cus- tomary for all marriages that are to Do csle- brated just before Lent to be grouped to- gether at the same ceremony. which is fol- lowed by a large public banquet at which one dish Is placed before every four persons and ct which table napkins are tabooed. The re- suit of this grouping together of the weddings of the neighborhood entails an arduous day | upon the officiating clergy and the local mayor l year or two ago, for instance, the bishop of QuImper had sixtysix couples to bless one after another, and subsequently, the mayor had to read the articles of the civic code upon a | like number of occasions. With respect to the civil ceremony, however, the mayors Of France perform prodigies of speed. and It Is douotkul if this one was occupied many minutes over seven hours in performing the duties that the law enacts.
 Finds 6:10 Ample Time. In the course of the merry month of May. 1902. the mayor of Rouen set record by marrying twenty-four couples, one after the other, at an average rate of seven minutes per couple. Hardly was the ink dry on the mar riage register, however when the mayor Of Amlens knocked thirty-hve seconds on his mu- nicipal brothers figures; that is to say. he married two dozen couples in two hours and thirty-f four minutes.
 When Miss Alice Sinclair of Cincinnati. O.. was snildly chaned because. when acting in the cApaClty oL OflucSHh1Aos tuS SABu oL ephi- sterhood, the thimble, was found in her portion of the wedding cake, she promptly proved that there was truth in the superstition by mar , rying within three hours of acting as brides maid the man to whom she was enKRGed
 This was a fairly rapid marriage. but its progress was tortoise like when compared to the rapldity with which N. Duchemin, depu- ty mayor of Havre. last February performed the civil rites in the case of hfty-one couples who requisitioned his services on the 2ist of the month Allowing an average of live minutes and nineteen seconds for each couple. this athletic deputy mayor yoked the ifty-one couples securely together In the course of four hours and a half. What the ancient couples whose ages totaled I32 years thought of the proceedings did not transpire. but in all prob ability they left the municipality building In a dAze ncondition.

Apache Chief Joins the Reformed Churcn-How the Indian Pris-

Fort Sill I. T.), Special.
 Bent by the trials of many a chase, cowed into submission by the strong arm of the United States Government, Geron- imo, chief Of the Apaches. has at last yielded himself to a better life and has embraced Christianity. A few weeks ago the old warrior, whose name twenty-five years ago sent chill through the veins of almost every white person inhabiting the southNes estern part of the United States, acknowledged publicly his faith in Jesus Christ and the afternoon of the same day in the quiet waters of Medicine Creek, near where his conversion occurred he was baptized by sprinkling, and receiv- ed into the Reformed Church. Several of his tribesmen followed his example, and the same day became members of the church with their former chieftain.
 The resolution to change his life on the part of the aged Apache chieftain, who in his lifetime has been the leader in so many raids upon white settlements, caus- ed unusual comment among his own peo- pie as we'll as the whites. For years and years Geronimo led a band of Apaches,
