popular estimation on which his brill

from the hapless gift-house incident;

elevate himself in popular esteem by
hisN acceptance OF gratuities; yet, in
the cases of both Grant and Dewey the
benefactions came not from an indi-

conceive what would have been
thought had they come as private be-
quests made through testamentary in
struments drawn by the very hands
of Grant and Dewey.

Grand Eapids, Mich, Dec. lin pc.
lice court today in the hearing of AL
derman DePagter charged with ac-
cepting a bride in the Lake Michi-
gan water deal, ex-City Attorney SAILS
bury testified that he gave DePagter
$3.50 about the same time he did the
others he bribed and later it was
agreed that DePagter should receive
$4,000 to $4,000 in water bonds. SAILS
bury said the reason he offered De-
Pagter the money after he found he
was favorable to the deal was because
he wante to make sure of him and
could not afford to take any chances.

HE'S GETTING GRACE.

Brooklyn Eagle-rhe announcement
from Fort Sill that Geronimo. the
Apache chief. who led General Nelson
a. Miles such Il merry chase in 1856,
has Joined the Reformed Dutch
church. is full OF suggestiveness. The
most vagrant imagination could not
picture Geronimo joining the Metho-
dists, the Baptists or the Salvation
Army. 1t would be relatively easy to
THINK of him as a Roman Catholic.
But on the whole there is no relig-
ious body that commends itself more
strongly to the native dignity of the
uns.'oiled aborigine than the Reform-
ed Dutch church. The Indian scorns
emotion. He took naturally to the
forms and symbolism offered by the
Jesuit missionaries. TO the man who
begins by seeing God in clouds and
hearing Him in the winds, all things
are made easy except what our civil
iZation terms generically, "reyivalism."
Look at a collection of portraits of
the men, who, in black gowns and
with imperturbable gravity and ster-
ling scholarship have maintained the
Reputation Of the Reformed Dutch
pulpit: who have stood for the most
undiluted CalviniSm and against al
| that they regarded as religious hys-
terra. You will note striking proper
/ ton of round faces, low, but broad
/ brows. strong lips and suggestions OF
! the double chin. Then look at pic
/ ture of Geronimo and you will find the
same type of physiognomy, the same
| combination of alert shrewdness and
| stern. uncompromising- dignity. Truly
! Geronimo has found his place. if. as
stated, he has Joined the Reformed
/ Dutch Church of America.
| The veteran Apache who fought
both Crook and Miles. and then beat
| both of them at compromise bar
gaining showed at once Dutch cour-
age and Dutch business ability. Tha,

Lincoln Star.-It is perfectly proper
that the Porto Ricans should laugh at
Senator Newland's bill for the admis-
sion of Cuba as state, with Porto
Rico as county. The latter has not
asked for it, and would not stand for
it. Neither have the Cubans asked
for it nor do they want ii. The Gu
bans also have a laugh coming. The
bill is pure chaff and btincombe.

Died In His Wine Bath.

LONDON, Oct. 24.-The strange
death of Charrere, a wine-grower of
Aosta, may interest the drinkers OF
italian wines. Each season while the
new wine was warm from fermentation
Charrere was accustomed to take a
bath in the frothing juice, with the OBJ
ject of securing year of prosperity
for himself and family.
This year he entered his cellar as
usual. His sister followed him some
time later and in a search found him
unconscious in the wine. In an en-
deavor to rescue him she was also over
come by the fumes and both died be-
fore assistance could be summoned.
