An Absent Husband Returns to Find
His Wife Again Welded.

An Enoch Arden case minus pathetic
details was related 10 a Morning News
reporter by Chief McDermott yesterday.
Some time ago the chief received a
letter from a man in Baltimore asking
him TO ascertain If his wife was still Hv-
ing at a certain number on Habersham
street, as the letters which he had ad-
dressed to her there remained unan-
swered. The letter was turned over 90
one Of the detectives for investigation.
VINO found that no woman. of the name
given had ever lived AT the number given
lu the letter. or anywhere IN the neign-
borhood. This was several months ago
one Jay last week a young man walked
into the chiefs Office, and, giving his
name. asked the chief II he remembered
receiving such a letter as that described
ABOVE. Ihe chief recalled the circum-
stance, ana the young man stated that
he was the author Of the letter. He left
ms VIE in Savannah year ago, he said,
and had been unable to hear anything
from her He had been running restaE-
rant in Atlanta lately, he said, and when
a triD down to Savannah and try 10 fnd
out what had become Of his wife He
did not understand how il was that the
police had failed TO locate her until ii
was shown to him that he had given as
the number Of the house what he intend
ed for one or the streets In the southern
section Of the city. which are designated
by numbers. He had found his wife. he
said. or, rather, the woman who used TO
be his wife. When he reached the neigh
bOrhOOd where she formerly lived he in
quired II Mrs. -, giving his own name,
still lived at a certain house
He was informed that the party in
quired Of still lived al the house, but
that she had changed her name, having
recently married again. He found this
TO be true His wife was somewhat sur
prised to see him She thought he was
dead, she said, as she had not heard from
him since he left Savannah. She had
married again and was well satisfied with
her choice.
After discussing the matter with the
woman, the young man decided so he
informed Chief McDermott, that he would
not interfere with the new arrangement.
He was willing to leave her 10 the other
man, he said, provided she had been ac-
tually married TO him. The woman as
sured him such was the case, and he then
wrote note TO his successor, an en-
ploye OF one Of the street railroads. stat
ing his Willingness 10 the arrangement.
The legal husband did not seem to take
the matter very seriously, and said that
he intended leaving the city for Florida

There is more than ordinary interest at
tached to the music now being given at
the De Soto hotel by the Imperial Hun
garian Gypsy Band, which is in Savannah
for the season.
Mr. Joseph Fischer has perhaps one of
the most interesting aggregation of
musicians in the country. He is leader.
and has besides six musicians The pieces
are the cymbal, Hungarian instrument,
two first yiolins. a second violin, a viola,
a teri violin and a base violin, being en-
tirely string music. OF these the cymbaI
is perhaps the most interesting, being a
Hungarian national instrument PLAYED by
the musician with two sticks, having balls
of cotton on the end of them, these sticks
being known technically as the pacza
The music is produced by striking steel
strings, which are tightly stretched. There
are four strings for each note, and four
octaves on the instrument. The operator
plays either Accomplishments, airs or solos,
The music Is like that of piano, only
softer.
Everyone of these musicians is an ar
fist, but singularly enough not one of
them. with the exception of their leader
can speak a word of English, and what
is still more peculiar, not one of them
can read a single musical note. They play
the most difficult classic music, from
Beethoven, Schubert, List and other COM
pOSers of note, entirely from memory,
and if two pieces of music were handed
one of them. he could not tell one from
another, though e told what was wanted
he might be able TO play both of them.
They are simply natural musicians, and
when Mr.. Fischer wants them to learn
new piece he simply plays II over with
them two or three times in the morning,
and they are ready to give it to the pub
lie that night. Mr.. Fischer says he finds
no difficulty in teaching them the most
difficult piece in half an hour. They are
what is known as Hungarian gypsies and
are selected from the travelling musicians
found in Hungary. Mr. Fischer brings

THE sIxTEENTH on THE DOCKET.
Another SaIOOnkeeper to Answer for
Violating the sunday Law.

]. J. Beytagh, who keeps a saloon and
grocery at East Broad and Taylor streets,
was placed on the docket yesterday by
Policeman Hodges, charged with violat-
ing the Sunday law. The policeman
stated that when he passed Beytagh's
place at o'clock i'm the morning he
heard laughter and loud talking. He saw
lights in the saloon and going to the door
found that the loud talking was inside.
Beytagh makes the sixteenth saloon
keeper who has been placed on the docket
by policemen doing regular duty since the
present administration came into Office
so Chief McDermott informed "a Morning
News reporter last night. He finds by the
records of the department that only four
saloonkeepers were placed on the docket
by policemen doing regular duty during
the last year of Mayor McDonough's adj
ministration, all other cases being made
by detectives at considerable extra ex-
pense to the city.
This, the chief considers ample proof
that the present system of requiring po-
licemen to be responsible for the condi-
ton of their districts is superior to the
spy system, being much less offensive to
citizens as well as less expensive TO the
city.

WHY This Fayoritisne

Silver can be profitably produced in
this country at 60 cents an ounce, 1t is
now selling here for fraction over 60
cents.
The mine owners ask, and the Chi
cago convention is ready to agree, that
the government shall make their prod
uct worth $l.29 for coinage purposes.
Why this favoritism? If the govern
ment-which means the taxpayers-is
to double the value of silver bullion,
why may it not logically be asked to
double the value of wheat, corn, cotton
and potatoes by making an unlimited"
market for them at fictitious price?
The silver product of this country is
relatively of minor Importance. Its real
value in 1895 was about $32, 600, 900.
The copper product was worth $3S, 000,-
600, pig iron $105, 900, 900 and soft coal
s115, 900, 900. Why should these prod
ucts be sold at commercial rates and
silver be doubled in money value by act
of congress?
The silver craze is, at bottom, the
most unjust paternalism and the worst
bunko game ever attempted in this
country. New York World
