DEsERTIONs FROM TIE ARMY.
One Remedy is to Treat the Desertey
as Criminal,

According to the annual report Of
Major-Gen. F. G. Ainsworth, military
secretary Of the army. there WEIR cur
ing the fiscal year enGicg June 80,
last 6, 533 desertions from The enlisted
force Of the army, CT 6 S per cent. Of
the whole number Of enlisted men.
During the preceding year the de-
sertions were s 6 per c,nt., Tor the
preceding three years the average was
6 l per cent. and for the ten years
ending in 1904 the av=rage was 5
per cent, showing clearly that the
relative number Of desertions has
been increasing.
Gen. A!ns8orth says that until the
deserter is completely ostracised AID
the public is made to treat him as
the criminal that be is there is rot
much hep, for improved conditions.
The lenieHcy Of the military authori
ties has much to do with the willing
ness OF Aoldier to leave tke service.
Gen. Airsworth reviews the reasons
which have been assigned for the in
creasirg dsseTtio,,s The abolition OF
the cante er, the monotony OF gar.
fison life, tie increasing amount Of
study and W rk required Of a soldier
and the esse with which it is possible
in these prosperous tines to obtain
good employ ment in civil life without
the drudgery Of a so dler'S exlStenes
are sume OF them, but the principal
cause OF the evils in question, be says
lies deeper, and the greatest Is that
Americans are not military people.
In discussing this question Gen. Ains-
worth said in par:
''Manv remedies have been pro
posed but none seems to be worthy CT
very serious consideration. Those
who know how the canteen came to
be abolished are not hopeful OF its
restoration. There is no likelihood
Of any such increase In the soldiers
pay as will Offset the greater induce
ments # red in civil pursuits. The
c. NJ :orts and even luxuries that are
furnished to enlisted men IN our ser
vice are even now criticised by some
as being not only extraViaant. but in
furious in their effort on men whose
real business it Is to march and fight,
encunbered with few comforts and
no luxuries, and the discipline and
instructions to which the soldier is
now subj cted are not likely to be 10,
laXed In future"

Charities Of Joe jefferson

"There need be no surprise at the
comparatively small estate left by Jo-
seph Jefferson said A. L. Erlanger.
ITO be sure, the immense earnings
from his many seasons in Rip Van
Winkle' and his keen sense Of business
led the public to believe that there
would be millions of dollars left when
the great old man Of the American
stage died; but to those who knew OF
the charitable side Of his personality,
and the free hand with which he gave
money away to members Of the profess
sion who needed it, there should be no
surprise that this IS not the case.
"I was associated with Mr.. Jefferson
for many years, and knew, probably,
more about his charities than any one
else. In fact, distributed thousands
of dollars every year for him, without
being asked to account for it in any
way. At the least call for aid MI. JEFF
ferson would say, Look up this fellow
Il used to know him-and if he needs
the money let him have it; only he's
kind of proud, so don't let him think
it's charity

ular weekly amounts from Mr.. Jefer-
son, ranging from SIS up to S1O0. The
late C. W. Couldock used to pay SlO0
every week, and it was MIR. Jeferson's
orders that Couldock should never
want for anything.
"Couldock was peculiar old man,
honest and candid, and little thing
like s10O week did not prevent his
saying what he thought Of Mr.. Jefer-
son. Once Jefferson bought an apart
ment house up In Harlem, fine, new
building, then very fashionable and

Lost His Case and Leg

Th United States Circuit Court Of
Appeals, Judge D. A. Pardee, Of At
lanta, presiding, handed down an in
teresting deci 70 recently in the case
OF E Boero, master Of the bark Msrg
narita, appellaat, against Juan De L.
Cruz Silva Martin, z, appellee. The cir
cult court reversed the decision Of the
district, WHICH was that Of the south.
err district Of Gecrgis, presided ever
by Judge Emory Speer. The facts il
the case are unusual: and present a
phase Of lie in the southern seas which
are Of decided interest not only to law
yers, but to the small boy readers or
seafaring life.
AS the bark Margharita was round
ing Cape Horn at the sou0hern ex
TIRE nifty Of South America about three
years ago, Mar5in,z, who was a ssa
m:.n Of une vessel, was working IN the
rigging Of :he ship, when he lost bis
hold a-d fell into the ocean. Another
sailor Immediately jumped into the

we-e safe again upon the deck OF the
ship, 1t wa discovered that the left
Lex Of NJ .r@i1sz had been bitten entire
ly of just below tie knees by shark
or some ouLer marine monster.
Upon the arrival Of the vessel at
Savannah, which was the point Ct de-
stsnation, MARTINEZ entered suit
against Boero, the captain Of tie
bark, for damages and in the trial be
fore Judge Speer was awarded 81, 500
damages. Captain Boero appealed the
case to the circuit court Of appeals, al
leging that the rigging vas in good
condition, and that he was now in no
way to blame for the attack OF the sea
serpent. The circuit judges seemed to
have taken the view Of the captain,
and reversed the ldgement Of the dis
trict court, which will leave Martinez
witt out bis 81, 500 and the shark with
bis leg.

Husbands in Revolt.

Thorougly disgusted by the univer-
sal giving up Of their wives to social
functions, 200 citiz ems OF Williams
port, Warren county, Ind, have en-
terer vigorous protests against the
practice, and have demanded in no
uncertain terms that there must be
more conservation to home duties and
less devotion to clubs. The recent
utterarces OF Mr.. Cleveland on the
suits caused much comment among
tue husband, and it was concluded
that the ex- president knew a thing or
two about women that be was not
afraid to tell, and the Williamsport
husbands determined to be equally
bold. This led to protests home, and
when there were ignored, another
plan was advanced. The husbands
met yesterday afternoon, had pink
tea Of their own, and then marched
in a body to the various places, where
their wives we're being entertained
and burlesqued their social functions.
The husbands were followed by lar.
ge crowd Of boys and single men and
the affair was made as grotesque as
possible.
