A CHURCH IN PARIS FOR
AUTHOR OF SIMPLE LIFE"
Proposed by the American Admirers
of Rev. Charles Wagner.

Proposed by the American Admirers
of Rev. Charles Wagner.
New York, Dec. 10.-Friends of the
simple life in this country may short
ly form a committee for the purpose
of raising a fund to build church in
Paris for the Rev. Charles Wagner
The idea was mentioned in a tenta-
tive way at dinner last Monday night
at the Union League Club by Robert
c. Ogden. The proposal was made
by John Wanamaker. who had visited
Mr.. Wagner in Paris.
So far nothing definite has been done,
although 1t is understood much inter-
est has been aroused among the
friends of the Alsatian clergyman in
America.
The services which Mr.. Wagner con-
ducts the held in a modest house in
Paris, and a movement has been start
ed In France to provide for him a
larger edifce. 1t is thought suitable
place can be built for $4,000.
Assurances have been received from
Levi p. Morton, who attends the serv-
ices which the author of the Simple
Life" holds in Paris, that he will be
glad TO aid in the project
Mr.. Wanamaker says that the pres
ent house OF worship occupied by Mr..
Wagner IL not large enough 70 accom-
modate the many who are eager 10

be typical of the greatest nation that
has ever existed"
Spends Mere Than ANY Nation.
America spends infinitely more for
education, benevolence. libraries,
churches, parks, the advancement of
science and art, and for all humaniz-
ing and uplifting agencies than does
any European nation. Money again!
You always talk of money!" an Euro
pean might protest. But it is the only
available means of COMPARISON and
there is every reason to believe that
the money is as well spent here as on
the other side of the water. 1t is pro-
duc1ng results at least as good. Amer
lea is turning out professors, scientists,
doctors, surgeons and other great and
good workers for the benefit of man
kind who can compare with any in the
Old World. Oxford University was
glad to give it's leading professorship
in medicine to an American physician
the other day, and Americans hold
several of the highest positions in Ger
man universities.
Rich Americans Open Givers.
There are plenty of rich Americans
who are giving themselves, as well as
their money, to the cause of the poor.
typical case is that of Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Hunter, worth over 100000
COO, who have just left their luxurious
mansion on Madison avenue and set
tied down in a tiny house in the heart
of the worst slum district in New York
They intend to devote their lives to
dwelling and working among the peo-
pie of the tenements.
The old sneer at "sordid, waterfalls
tic America is out of date. 1t will
soon be necessary to bring in the New
World to redress the balance of the
Old" in all things that are lovely and
of good report. AS for the insistent
graft" scandals, there is nothing new
in them. They are hardy pereunials.
There are no more of them than there
used to be. but the increasing tender
ness of the public conscience makes
it worth the while of newspapers and
magazines to dig them up.

Came to This Country to study
American Banking.
New York, Dec. 10.-Wall street takes
considerable interest in a new member
of the clerical force of the banking
house of August Belmont & Co. He
is Baron de Rothschild, younger son
of Baron Albert de Rothschild, head
of the Vienna branch of the family Of
ftnanciers, who is here to study Ameri-
can banking methods.
Attired in a neat dark business suit,
Baron de Rothschild, after having
breakfasted in his apartments at the
Waldorf Astoria, arrives I. in Nassau
street promptly at 10 o'clock. Taking
possession of his desk. which is in the
front Office of the banking house, near
one of the windows looking out on
Cedar street, the new clerk at once
applies himself to his duties. After
working steadily for two and a half
hours he changes his coat and
goes out to luncheon with friend
After attending TO English corre-
spondence for a few days, the Baron
will try his hand at bookkeeping, and
then will gain business experience IN
every department of the banking
house. His duties will extend over a
period of three months.

took his gun, which is still in my
possession--a much-prized trophy of
that expedition.
II mustered up all the sarcasm
could command under the circum-
stances and smiled as / talked to
him. 1 mentioned our former meet
ing, when he killed all the dogs in
camp and made his escape, after
promising to come into the reserva-
ton at San Carlos. He explained that
he meant to come back, but got so
far away that he dared not return. I
told him that this time. in order to
prevent a recurrence OF that action,
/ intended to place him under the
watchful care of my police.
GerOnimO's Surrender.
Geronimo was sitting directly in
front Of me. He looked at me steadi-
ly fiercely, but did not move. Watch
ing him closely, l informed him that
he would have to go to the guard
house, and to further impress him I
added that he would have to go I'M
mediately.' He sprang to his feet at
once, and the picture is one that I
shall never forget. He stood six feet
in his moccasins, erect as mountain
pine, every outline OF his graceful and
perfect form indicative Of the strength
and endurance for which he was justly
noted. His straight, ebon locks fell to
his hips, his high cheek bones, his an
gular nose, his keen, flashing, black
eyes, his proud and graceful carriage
made him a model Of his race, the most
perfect type OF Apache l have ever
seen. / can scarcely realize that this
old gardener is the Geronimo of 1877.
There he stood,-Geronimo the rene
gade, a form that commanded atten-
ton, a name and a character dreaded
by all. His eye burned luridly under
the excitement of the moment and his
form quivered with unsurpassed an
ger. He was hating between two pur-
poses: Either to draw his knife, his
sole remaining weapon, cut right and
left and die fighting. or to surrender.
My police were not slow in dis
corning his thoughts, and as quickly
as thought itself one Of them sprang
forward and snatched the knife from
the renegade's belt. At the same In
slant a. half-dozen guns were leveled
upon him. and the first and only real
capture of Geronimo was completed.
He was conveyed to the guardhouse
and heavily ironed. Seven other rene
gades were also ironed and the entire
band was marched back to San Carlos,
where they were still confined when
resigned my commission in July, 1877.
The years have curbed the temper and
weakened the arm Of the old chieftain;
he is now "a or IS years old and must
soon go to the happy hunting grounds
But Geronimo will live forever as a
figure in American history"

New Style for Trinamino.

One material laid on another by way
of trimming is a marked feature of the
fashion of the day. Cloth bands of
applique designs of cloth on velvet
gowns, or the precise reverse, velvet
cut out in points or patterns laid upon
cloth, or silk used for edging cloth, or
bands of cloth, looking a little out of
place in themselves, but indubitably
up to date, on silk skirts-here is
fancy of the moment which is likely to
maintain it's popularity. Such decora-
ton is seen on the capes or collars or
pelerines of the bodies, as we'll as in
the shape of bands round or down the
skirts In the last mentioned situa-
tion. too, scallops of the material of
the gown, bound round with the trim
ming fabric, as, for instance, cloth
edged with silk. are adopted. Ribbon
makes good strappings or bands, and
can be had in such variety that there
is no difficulty in meeting the require
ments in the way of color or relief of
the dress material. Bands of embroid-
cry are often applied to smarter a
blue serge dress.

Spring Hat Trimming.

Leather strapping is a popular trim
ming for spring hats. The simplest OF
sailors have no other decoration than
band of leather and buckle, while
the more pretenuious affairs are strap
ped around the crowns, brims are
caught up or down, wings and quilts
are held in place, and even bows are
made secure, all with the aid of dainty
straps of leather and brass buckles.
The same form of decoration may be
seen on the newest spring suits. Cuffs
collars and belt of bright colored
leather make an elegant as well as
simple trimming. and very beautiful
effect may be obtained by having the
leather stamped with a conventional
pattern in gold and using gold buttons.
