Out of Violin WedLock
 Music Soothes Prisoner

Being charged with using unseen ly" language in the presence of lady, William Davenport, an ex-slave. was arrested Tuesday by Deputy Frank Pettus, of the county force. When the ofieer went in search Of his man, he found the old fellow playing vio- lin in the street for the benent of crowd of children. who raised much outcry when he was taken away. The distance from the suburb where the arrest was made was such that the oficer had to bring the man in on street car. and afterwards regretted 1t, for the old fellow wanted to play his violin all the way. VI.
 The embarrassment was at last rec Heved by reaching the jail and Wilson was searched and then ordered to a call. There the real trouble started. By this time it wsa nearly o'clock, an hour when the guests of the Chaueau de Keeps are supposed to be in their downy little couches.
 Captain McCord had allowed the prisoner to take the violin in the coll with him, for Wilson had said that he would not be able to sleep without 1t. As it turned out. he had views on the sleep of others. A few minutes after the door changed shut. soft. low, Lurposeiess and laSily caresslng. the deep D" string of the violin flooded out with "Reubenstein's Melody"
The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-07-23

As the music filled the building the prisoners could be hearl staalthiIy getting up to better listen and the snly sound in the house waa that of the beautiful air. From 1t the old nd- dler drffted of to Mendelssohn,s Spring Song" the dainty notes of which seemed to arise almost like a mist from the instrument which the cld man was earessins far more than he was playing. After that, "Cielo's Mar" rich and thrilling. enveioped the building in a flood of appeal so tender so passionate and so deep and strong that the more easily moved listensrs gave up and wept
 It got on the Captains nerves and he felt very sorry for the people in the jail and called to the musician to stop.
 He was answered with Q rattling, shattering. chirpy volloy of notes from "The Turkey in the Straw" that was irresistible to the wards of the coun. ty. The sound of bare feet on polished steel floors swung in perfect time; but this was too much for the jailerR views on the eternal fitness of things. so he took the violin away and locked 1t up; but if he handled 1t very cara fully and gave it a half pat as he locked 1t in the oniee--well, that's his business.

pEsERTERs FROM THE NAVY.
Are Remarkably Few, Although No
 Legal Power Can Hold Them. Nau YnrH TfynA4 r

AHE MBAA1Nn&8td EGWs Altu9NAu NO
 Legal Power Can Hold Them.
 New York Times.
 The navy has an excellent enlisted personnel. But lzs of the 13. 1000 jack les on the Atlantic battleship fleet were reported as absentees when 1t left San Francisco Bay. The navy officials be- lfeve that of this number. constituting but l per cent of the whole. hardly more than one-fourth were deserters. The record Is gratifying. at a time when assertions from the army are numerous enough to cripple whole com panies and regiments. The annual ap- plicatlons for naval enlistment have risen from 37.043 In 1902 to 45,8si in 1907, and the number of mon annually enlisted from i0.2s4 to l4.329.
 Why should assertions from the navy be so few7 Sections 1896 and 1898 of the Federal Revised Statutes provide that persons who have deserted, or shall hereafter desert. ''are deemed to have voluntarily relinquished and for feited their rights of citizenship as well as their rights to become citl- zens," and such deserters shall be for- ever incapable of holding any ofice of trust or profit under the United States or exercising any rights of citizenship thereof"
 This dooming Of deserters to become men without a country applies equally to the land and sea forces, and. while 1t Is thought by Secretary Metcalf to be too harsh punishment in time of peace. it can act as q deterrent to sail ors no more than to soldiers More over. the law which provides for the arrest of deserters and their delivery into the custody of the military au- thority"ldoes not apply to the navy at aili sailors on shore leave at San Fran cisco might have deserted In a body. and no legal power could have been invoked to force them back to their ships.
 The greater popularity of naval ser vice, then. must be in the 'lure of the sea-" In the anticipation of visiting many lands. peoples and cIimes, and in the rivalry of the ships and the superior training of the men. Then. too. the sailor Is best with no invid : ious comparisons of volunteer navy, whereas the regular soldier Is at a social disadvantage with the popular national volunteer troops.
