HE DESERTED in PEACE
BUT WHEN WAR CAME HE WANTED
TO GET INTO THE FIGHT.
why Private Jacobs VIII Get on Easy
swords for Observation-Disclosures of
the Local War Gossip.

The patriotism of Charles r. Jacobs, Of
this city, came to the surface yesterday in
a manner that won the favorable opinion Of
all the officers of the United States recruit
ing Office here. On JAM "A last Jacobs en-
listed with Captain Black and was assigned
to the Sixteenth Infantry, and sent at once
to Fort Sherman, Idaho, where he remained
for two months. Finding the life of regu-
lar army private at remote frontier post
irksome, he, about the middle of March,
took French leave of the camp and made
tracks eastward as fast as possible. Ac-
cording to his statement, he came almost
directly to this city, where he has remained
ever since. AS the local officers never met
him after his return, his presence IL this
city was not suspected and no watch was
Kept for him especially.
Great was the surprise in the recruiting
Office yesterday morning when a brother-in-
law of the young man came to the office
and opened negotiations with, Captain Black
on the part of the culprit for means
whereby he could return to his regiment
Nothing definite was accomplished at this
interview, but in the afternoon a sister of
the recruit presented herself, and after
short talk arranged the matter satisfac-
torily to all concerned, and in a few minutes
after she left the office she returned with
Jacobs, who, in a talk with Captain Black
stated his desire to return to duty. Accord
ingly. that officer furnished the necessary
transportation. and Jacobs last night left
to rejoin his regiment at Tampa with a note
in his possession from Captain Black CIV
ing him all due credit for returning to his
duty in time of war after deserving in time
of peace. In view of all the circumstances,
it is regarded as certain that the extent of
the punishment to be melted out to Jacobs
will be a few days in the guardhouse and
fine of a few dollars. Before leaving he
expressed himself as feeling easier in his
mind by the knowledge that he was doing
his duty again. There is a vast difference
in the penalty for desertion in time of peace
and in time of war. At present the penalty
for deSertion is death.

BALTIMORE. June Five thousand per-
sons attended the opening of the Coliseum
tonight. and witnessed some good bike
racing Henri Cissac, of France, and Bob
McCurdy Of Philadelphia, met in a twenty
mile race. The original match was made
between Cissac and Charley Church, but
owing to the accident to the latter at Will

stituted. The latter took the lead at the
sound of the pistol, and held it for the first
five miles, when the Frenchman overhauled
and passed him and gradually increased his
lead until, at the end of the race, he was
about three-quarters of a mile to the good.

purpose of purchasing swords and sabers

They are of polished steel, artstically en-

RECRUITING THE REGULARS.
Hospital Men Continue to Enlist-Ar-
tilIerymen Accepted.


The stream of medical men continues to
pour into the ranks of the regular army
from this city and vicinity. Yesterday two
went in, one Of them being practitioner
in good standing. while the other is the son
of a well-known physician of this city. The
first one was Frederick c. WOODBURY., M.
D., of this city, who went into the ranks Of
the hospital corps as a private. Those off,
GERS in position to know state that it is a
certainty that he will not stay in that posi-
ton longer than it will take to get him
placed properly with some regiment when
his promotion will be sudden and common
surate with his ability. The other was Mar
vim E. Malloy, the son of DR.. Malloy, of
this city. He is a medical student and en-
thusiastic for the work. Both men will be
sent to Fort Sheridan to-day. The follow
ing recruits were accepted yesterday and
assigned to the artillery: Jesse o. Ray, Ly-
ons, Ind. William T. Harry, Alpine, Ind. !;

H. C. Clark of Delaware City. Del, is
about to publish pocket manual for the
healthful use of the wheel. 1t Is a COM
pilation from previous works on the same
subject and of letters and opinions from
medical men and others, and also contains
with useful hints on dress, ETC.
When wheel pedal or crank bracket can
be perceptibly shaken, it is quite time some
Tightening was done. 1t is a mistake to sup
pose that loose bearing does not wear out
so soon as a properly adjusted one; the OPP
posite is just the case If you are not well
acquainted with cycles, or have not much
time, let a repairer overhaul and adjust
your mount.
Riders who like to save their wheels as
much as possible will do we'll to remember
that when climbing steep hills and feeling
themselves to be under a severe strain, that
the wheel is also being sorely tried. The
amount of twist put upon the rear section
of a bicycle in hill climbing is little appre-
ciated. Not only do the rear forks and
chain feel it, but as the wheel turns differ
strain. On steep hills it is heap more sem
sible to pocket pride and walk than 1t is TO
run the risk of injury to self and bicycle
riding up.

Tank Palmer, of the Twenty-seventh In
diana Battery, had been detailed to come
home and recruit men for Captain Curtiss
company and that they would arrive some
time to-day, beginning the work of recruit
ing at the battery on Sixteenth street and
Senate avenue tomorrow at $3.50 O'Clock.
A pleasant incident of the day yesterday
was a visit made to the Governor by Maj.
D. w. Sanders, of Louisville, who was in
the Confederate army. He called the
Governor with Frank e. Burke, former
district attorney. Major Sanders explained
TO the Governor that he was passing
through the city and had asked Mr.. Burke
TO present him to the Governor, who was
the first to report to the government that
the quota allotted to his State had been
filled. The major and the Governor ex-Con-
federate officer and ex-Federal private,
chatted for an hour and each expressed sat-
isfaction that the bitterness of that old war
had passed.

MAY SERVE ONLY FOR THE WAR.
Regulars Can Obtain Their Discharge
as Soon as 1t Closes.

Several of the promoters of volunteer or
ganizations in this city have spread the re-
port that If a recruit enters the regular
army he does so for the full term of his en-
listment, or three years. This is not so, as
the Instructions received two days ago by
Captain Black will attest. This subject is
referred to in a circular sent out by General
Miles, under the title of General Order No.
40. The statement on this point is very clear
and covers the situation as follows: by
direction of the secretary of war it Is an
nounced that men enlisted or re-enlisted in
the regular army during the war may be
informed that they will be granted their
discharge, if desired. at the close of the war
upon their individual application This was
done because it was ascertained that there
is a large number of young men who are
deprived of the opportunity to go to the
war in the volunteer regiments who would
not bind themselves to the regular army
term of three years without regard to the
length of the war. The number and charac-
ter of young men who are availing them
selves of the opportunity thus presented of
serving under experienced officers is a tes-
timony to the wisdom OF the move on the
part of General Miles.

Titus and McDuaie.

Middle-distance cycle racing will have it's
first inning of the season in New York on
June Is at Manhattan Beach, when Eddie
McDuffie, the Boston crack, is to meet Fred
Titus in twenty fve-mile contest. This
event marks the initial appearance of Nc
Duffie in New York in paced race, and the
first race of Fred Titus in that city since
his rejuvenation. When the pair met in
Boston on May H. although McDuffie won
the result was far from satisfactory, as
Titus was handicapped by a lot of I'M
trained pacemakers. In the race he con-
tinually shouted for faster pace, but was
unable to get it. In the coming race he
will have the benefit of the entire American
Cycle Racing Association team, who as
sisted Taylore, the French rider to two
successive victories at Philadelphia recent
ly. Titus is now moving faster than he
ever did before, and many predict that he
will turn the tables on his opponent in the
next contest.

announcement of the fact that Indiana is

Still there were some inquiries from men
who want to go South as recruits and who
are anxious for places in the engineering

formation at hand on any of these subjects
and had received no further information
with reference to his efforts to secure a
