TRICKS THAT ARE FUTILE.
Deserters Display Much Ingenuity
i'm Their Efforts to Escape.
From the Regiment.


To desert from either the army or
the navy is not the easiest thing in the
world, and even when accomplished
the culprit lives in daily fear of being
recaptured and sentenced to a heavy
term of imprisonment Therefore the
devices employed by some deserters are
as ingenious as they are exciting, al
though they cannot be said to be al
ways crowned with success. For sheer
audacity the case of an Irish soldier
who deserted in a south coast town
some years ago would be hard to beat.
Just at that time number of deser-
tons had occurred in the neighbor-
hood and the authorities were therefore
unusually sharp to prevent further Of
lenses of this nature. But the man in
question was dissatisfied with soldier
ing and, having a number OF friends
In the town who were disposed to help
him, and being possessed of an I'M
usually large modicum of pluck, re-
solved to delay his return to civil life
no longer.
One morning early he slipped out of
barracks and made his way to a
friends house without being seen. Ar
irving there, he shaved off his NOUS
tache, and. DOMINIC a policeman's uni
form, boldly promenaded the main
streets of the town. He was, of course,
missed in the barracks and knew that
the surrounding country was being
secured in the hopes OF finding him.
On one occasion his sergeant came up
TO him and asked him If he had seen
or heard anything of missing man,
and he Of course, replied that be had
not, but he would kept his eyes open.
For more than a fortnight he preserved
his disguise without 1t being pene-
trated even by the police themselves,
and then he calmly left the town when
the bue and cry had subsidized some
what. Nevertheless his enterprise
came to naught, for he was arrested
in trying TO work his passage back to
Ireland.
Scarcely less audacious was the ruse
employed by another dissatisfied son
OF Mars. and in this case, likewise, IL
proved futile. He happened TO know
that a certain publican in the town
was in anything but afiiuent circum-
stances, for he visited the house regu-
larly, and from remarks dropped at
odd times discovered that the publican
was heavily In debt to a Scotch spirit
merchant One morning as soon as
the publican opened his doors the sol
der arrived, after having first dis
guised himself with q beard and wig
and donned civilian attire.
With him came a friend who agreed
to act as a representative Of the law.
and he promptly told the astonlshe
publican that he had orders 10 leave
a man In possession unless the sum
owing 70 the Scotch spirit merchant
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1901-12-29

was paid to him there and then. The
publican of course, could not pay. so
the deserter was quartered upon him
and lived in his house and at his ex-
pense for more than a week before the
deception was discovered. Perhaps the
most successful deserter-for a time
was William Conrad. Through one of
his comrades he heard of a man whose
son had gone to Australia gold mining
and had apparently disappeared for
nothing more had been heard OF him,
though the parent still believed he
would see him again. Conrad, there
fore, hit upon the ingenious idea of
leaving the army by stealth and, going
to the man, informing him that he was
the missing son. As his knowledge of
Australia was considerable he lost no
time in putting his plan into execution
and the parent, believing in him des-
pite the supposed alteration in his an
pearance, provided him with home
and money galore. a commodity ne
confessed he lacked. But unfortunate
ly for him at the end OF eighteen
months the real son turned up and
what followed can better be imagined
than described.

THE BRITISH CORONATION.
scheme 10 Revive the Royal Prog
ress from the Tower.
From The London Mail.


Even thousands of pounds will not
buy a seat in the Abbey at the Kings
coronation next June. To say that a
hundred out of every million of his
subjects will achieve a place within
that sacred edifice is probably to
place the favored percentage far too
high. For most the streets will be
the only point of view obtainable, and
a very restricted point at that. If the
coronation procession follows in short
ness of route the examples set by his
Majesty's predecessors.
Queen Victoria's procession went from
Buckingham Palace to the west door
of Westminster Abbey and back again.
Even so far back as 1861, when
George III. was crowned, the route
lay merely between st. James and
Westminster Hall and the Abbey.
True, we hear rumors of much more
generous arrangements. The precedent
of the Jubilee. II is stated, is to be
followed. There will be two process
sions, one on the south side of the
river. and so on.
But there is a more ancient custom,
long since fallen into desuetude. which
might be revived with the happiest
onsequences-that Is. the royal pro-
gress from the Tower to Westminster,
usually on the day proceeding the ac-
utal coronation. The custom continu
ed for the space Of three hundred years
that is, from the reign of Richard
II. to the reign of Charles H.. who
"dined' at o'clock in the morning and
spent the rest of the day showing
himself to his people.
The description of the frat such
royal progress, that Of Richard II. on
July Is. 1877, is calculated to make
later and more prosaic generations en-
vious. The young sovereign, clothed in
white robes, rode forth, attended by
a multitude Of mobiles, knights. and
esduires; the conduits in the streets
flowed with wine, and at the principal
thoroughfares the procession was de-
layed TO witness the exhibition of pa
geants. The Goldsmiths' Company, in
particular, shone in this part OF the
festivities. We can hardly hope that
the Guild will emulate its example of
1877. when II erected a castle at the
upper end OF Cheap, with four towers.

Depreciation Of Public and Prf-

From the London Mail.
The fall in the value of British gov
eminent, railway and Industrial securi-

in the aggregate to hundreds of mill
lions sterling.
Consols. which, on the day preceding
the launching of the Boer ultimatum,
stood at 1O3A, are now in the neigh
borhood OF 81, and other stocks have
suffered even more severely.
The figures published from time TO
time by the Bankers Magazine afford
the basis OF some very interesting cal
culatons.
The magazine in question takes s25
representative securities from the
Stock Exchange list, and shows their
fluctuations from month to month
compilation of these monthly figures
demonstrates the startling fact that
the net fall in the 1926 selected securi-
ties between Sept. TO- 1899, and Oct. 10.
1901, amounted to the enormous sum of
E143946,0O0. And these securities, OF
course, only form a portion of the
Stock Exchange list
But closer examination proves that
rom the British point of view the no
sition is even more unfavorable. Dur
Ing the period named certain foreign
government stocks and American rail-
way securities included in the calcula-
ton rose in value to the extent Of
about e47,0000 900, and thus partially
counteracted in the calculation the fair
In purely British securities.
AS matter OF fact the decrease In
market value of fourteen British and
Indian funds during the period named
amounted to no less than E76,392, 900.
the fall in the month ended Oct. 10
alone amounting to ES.524,000.
Home railway stocks again show an
extraordinary shrinkage In value.
The ordinary stock OF nineteen Brit
ish railways fell between Sept 49, 1899.
and Oct 10. 1901, to the extent OF ESQ
$4,000; fourteen railway debenture
stocks decreased in value by e13. 32g
900, and thirteen railway preference
stocks by e14,517 .000 making a total
OF close upon hundred millions ster-
ling.
In brief. the aggregate fall In the
fourteen British and Indian funds cited
and In the forty-six selected railway
securities amounted TO el74.129. 900.
