"Deficient Saint * , " A unique title , fits
admirably this Interesting story. Wo nil ,
perhaps , are familiar with ono or more of
that peculiar typo of people v ho pose as
good , extraordinarily good , and who , when
remodeled by circumstances , become the
Rcnulno , noble Christian characters ad
mired by nil. Marshall Saunders has se
lected an excellent collection of characters ,
whoso agreeable development the reader fol
io * * with enthusiasm. Hcwilgnol , a quaint
Now Enultmd town In Maine , U the seat
of the story , but In no way can the story
lie ctoMicd an a historical novel , although
It cental no frequent allusions to the early
history of that state. The plot IB wound
up moetly In the fortunes of a certain
French family , named Oastonguay , who
cmlgrativl to America , and , after years of
rraldenco In this country , became loyal
rlUzons. The surviving members of this
fnmlly , at the time of the etory , consisted
of a maiden lady , a noble woman , loved by
all In the llttlo village ; her brother , near
her own ngo , and her two nieces. The
brother , as It sometimes happens , bad not
led an honorable Hfe , much to the Intense
orrow of his sister. The nlecrs are at
tractive young ladles , the life of ono , Dcr-
rlco by rmmo , the daughter of this brother ,
forming the thread of the story. Derrlce Is
roared with tenderness by thla outlaw of
n father and kept In entire Ignorance of
Ills despicable character. Ho educated her
carefully , traveled extensively with her ,
lavished great luxuries upon her , and ,
finally , married her to an estimable young
man. Of all the ether characters In the
hook , old Captain White Is the favorite.
Ho I * a retired sea captain , who never falls
'hi omuso and command attention. And the
one who Orst aggravates , then pleases , Is
Mrs. Hlppolyta , Prymmer , sanctified vessel
And common saint of the Church of the
United llrethrcn , chief loader In the rellg-
IdUn work , und waggishly nicknamed by the
ungodly about her "the elect lady.1' Her
never falling source of entertainment Is
liir death book , u volume peculiarly her
own. In It she enrolled the names of her
various friends of whom she had been do-
prlved by death , and , for Its enlargement
und adornment , BUB bad collected photo
graphs , cuttings from the newspapers and
Items of Information with an assiduity
superior to some of her acquaintances who
prepared scrap books merely for diversion
and ainuaemont , The covers of the book
wcro ornamented with two silver plates en
graved with the names of her two do-
ceased husbands , Sylvester Mercer nnd
Zobedee Prymmor. These two plates had
been taken from the coffins of the two
worthy men before they had been lowered
Into their graves. Wedged under each
plato were locks of hair shorn from the
heads of the dead men. "Deficient Saints"
la a revival f the Maria Edge-
worth school of fiction. The book
IB written to entertain and simul
taneously to instruct. There la noth
ing disappointing In It. Sadness , anxiety ,
grief , cheerfulness , humor , pathos , wicked
ness and religion are blended together
forming a harmoulcus whole. L. C. Page

"The recollections I am now nttsrlnir to
< he reader of the time I served in the ranka
of the French army will show that Dreyfus
haa been a victim , not so much of indi
viduals' as of'a faulty system. It will bo
seen how. In a regiment , the colonel forms
his opinion of a private from the character
given to him by his corporal or sergeant , and
how the mere fact of appealing Against a
punishment Is considered no an act of In-
BUbordlnatlon. It Is always the same prin
ciple le respect do la cho so jugeo ( the up
holding of a judgment , without considering
upon what grounds or evidence It haa been
delivered ) . I wiah It to bo clearly unde'r-
etcod that this little bcok has not been
written for the purpose of attacking the
French army as represented by Ita officers.
It la Intended merely as a faithful account
of the hardships -endured when I served
my time In the -ranks , hardships which
every Frenchman has still to bear. " These
words from the preface to "Trooper 3809"
Indicate the purpree and scoe ot a striking
now book by Lionel Dcclo , which Charles
Scrlbnor's Sins have brcueht out. It Is a
' etartllnc revelation of the brutallzlne hard
ships and suffering and the gross Injustice
which tha men who serve In the ranks of
the French army endure , and hag a peculiar
timeliness for the dazrllng light It throns
on the Dreyfus affair. Charles Scrlbner'B

"Saints In Art , " by Clara Ersklno Clement ,
Is a ibook useful alike to travelers and stay-
ot-horfleB. The author has spent thlrty-flvo
years In searching for the hlatory and tradi
tions of the saints and otudylnc their rela
tion to the arts and In this volume she tells
all about tha famous paintings of the old
world , describes each one In Its setting ,
coloring nnd expression and makes It BO
vivid that one can almost * ea the picture
without the accompanying Illustration. H
requires but little study to familiarize one
with the symbols and other distinguishing
characteristics-of rcllglrus pictures , while a
knowledge , of , ' thf-m explains much -that Is
not comprehended without It and greatly
oncbances the enjoyment of these works.
The thlrty-'thrco full-page reproductions In
half-tono and photogravure fr m paintings
by the great masters suggest the work as an
appropriate gift book. li. O. Page & Co. ,

The latest addition to the To n and
Country Library 1 a novel by J. C. Snalth ,
entitled "Lady Barbarity. " H In highly ro-
raantlo from the first page to the last-
Nothing csuld bo fresher nnd more ex-
Lllaratlng than tltto spirited comedy ot the
most romantic period of the eighteenth
century , and every reader who make * the
acquaintance of the heroine will be grateful
to Mr. Snalth for the Introduction. Seldom
does a romance contain eo many whole-
eomo laughs , and It Is done In such ex
cellent otylo nu to leave never a dull page
throughout the whole book. The "Lady
Bab" Is a meet original and erratic young
lady of the madcap variety , and a fascinat
ing girl of great personal charm and beauty.
A party of soldiers are quartered on her
father's rotate , among them * poor , ragged
youth who has been arrested and detained
as A py. The very frlendlesanesfl of the boy
nttractfl the pity ot the young lady and ,
fond of a mad prank , eho creep * from the
houao at night , disguised , and releases the
prisoner. Ho Is almost roarrcstcd , but eho
rescues htm just In tlmo and secretes him
In her father's houao , whore , disguised as
n young lady friend , he masquerades for
eomo time. The comical situations arlatbg
from hla dlsgulM ) ns a lady lend no llttlo
charm and dash to the story. Lady Bab
Is very much annoyed by a Captain Qrantloy
who haa fallen desperately In tovo with her
and who la very active In the scorch for
the prisoner. It required ell ot her tact to
keep the boy from discovery , but the more
difficult the situation In which she finds her
hero placed the greater her determination
to get him out of his danger and her crafti
ness and Infinite rceourcca are almost more
tl'aa an equal for Captain Orantley , himself
an old BoldloT and diplomat. The boy Is
a most noble-spirited youth and his chival
rous nature leads him to deliver himself up
to justice when ho finds that Lady Bab can
save him from the scaffold only by marry
ing Captain Qrantloy , whom abe most
heartily despises. The truth was that Bab
hod fallen In love with the youth hcrecJf
and as he was carried away to London to
bo executed In a month's tlmo she assure *
him that ehe will surely rescue him It he
will only keep up a brave heart and not
despair. Then ebo sots toork , but her
Infatuation for the rebel has been so noised
abroad that all the aristocratic friends of
herself and her father , the earl , turn her
a cold nhoulder and sneering looks. When
only nine days are left , her faithful maid
heara cf a desperate character who con-
eentfl to raise a mob from the scum of
London and deliver the hero from the very
scaffold Itself. Bab Is present at the scene
and Bees that it all comes through right.
Her faith In the young man's brightness
and wit was not misplaced , as she says In
the last paragraph of the book : "But doubt
less ho Is better known to you and to the
world as the celebrated Duke of B , a man
of conspicuous talents and princely virtues ;
perfect father , devoted husband , wise coun
cillor , and the faithful servant of a country
that once condemned him to be hanged. D.

Stamps ot the value ot 1 and 2 cents are
as common as grsus hereaways , but when
It conies to these little squares of paper
( hat have values ranging from $100 up to
$1,000 they are more of a novelty and are
not carried around by people of the com
mon herd. An Invoice of these stamps
recently arrived In Omaha and are now In
the custody of Collector Houtz ot the In
ternal Revenue department.
The high-priced revenue stamps are used
on deeds and mortgages where the consid
eration runs up Into the hundreds of thou-
Mtids. On these documents the stamp tax
Is at the rale ot $1 per $1,000 , consequently
It Is found more convenient to use stamps
of a large denomination.
All of the high-priced stamps referred
to come In books of twenty and are num
bered consecutively. Each stamp carries a
Uub which shows the name of the party to
whom sold , how used and when. It Is said
ihat this Is for the purpcse of tracing the
stamps If they should happen to be 'nst or
stolen. They are a trifle over an inch wide
and about ono and three-fourth Inches
long. The $100 stamp Is a light chocolate
brown and carries upon Its face a portrait
of ox-Cblef Justice Marshal. The { 500
stamp Is a light carmine and carries a portrait
trait of Alexander Hamilton. The stamp
of the $1,000 denomination Is a very light
green and Is Illustrated with a picture of
the face of ex-President Madison ,

DE GRAYER STOPS IN OMAHA1
Notorious Criminal in Custody of Colorado

Cripple Creek Chief of roller Itetnrn-
Inrr from MlHNnnrl irlth Tin

In the Cltr.
Ed McDantels , chief of police of Cripple
Creek , Colo. , stopped In the city yesterday
returning homo from Milwaukee with two
crooks In his custody wanted In Colorado on
serious charges. One of the men Is William
McDonald , said to have sold $300 worth of
machinery belonging to the Eric Mining com
pany and to have converted the money to his
own use. Ho was caught at Mnnl.ou , III.
The other prisoner Is Ed Dedrayer , a crimi
nal Viho has served two terms In the Cali
fornia penitentiary and Is notorious for his
nerve In escaping from the custody of ofllccrs
having him In charge.
DeGrayer Is wanted In Cripple Creek for
the burglary of Gottberg's store last year ,
when he secured $300 worth of Jewelry and
valuable stones. He haa twice made his "get
away" while under arrest on this charge.
After the burglary DeOrayer was sent to Jail
for thirty days on the charge of vagrancy ,
there being no evidence at that time to con
vict him of the burglary. When he was re
leased he eent by express to Denver some
of the stolen goods and was arrested by the
Denver police , acting under Instructions from
Chief McDanlels , as he applied at the express
odlco to get the package.
One of the oldest men on the Cripple
Creek force was sent to Denver to bring the
burglar back , and when ho left ho was cau
tioned against giving DeGrayer an oppor
tunity to escape. The officer scoffed at the
Idea , but the burglar gave him the slip be
fore he had been In his custody two hours.
DcGrayer was handcuffed and sat next to the
policeman on the Inside of a car seat. When
the train had gone about twenty miles Do-
Orayer unexpectedly sprang backwards over
tbo scat and ran down the aisle to the door.
Before the policeman could get to the plat
form the burglar leaped from the trMn , which
was moving at full speed , and esaped.
Telling the chief of the experience aft ° r-
ward DeOrayer eald ho went for three r'ays
without being able to get the handcuffs off
his wrists , and consequently with-ml being
able to ask anybody for food , for fear of
certain detection. The third night , when he
was about to give himself up , ho passed a
blacksmith's shop on the outskirts of a small
town , and having hung arrund until a'ter
dark broke Into the place and filed the steel
bands from Ills wrists. Then ho broke Into
a dwelling and dined. After that DeOrayer
said It was smooth sailing.
DeOraycr was arrested In Milwaukee for
stealing a suit of clothing from a dummy In
front of a store. Ho was chased by the po
lice for several blocks and when cornered by
them he drew a gun and threatened to kill
the first man who tried to arrest him. He
was disarmed by strategy and In the police
court was sentenced to ninety days for the
theft of the clothes.
Chief McDanlels went to Milwaukee for
him at the expiration of the sentence , hav
ing discovered him through the bureau of
Identification. The two prisoners wers placed
In jail while the officer took a needed sleep.

ORDERED OFF OF'THE STAND

The preliminary examination In the arsta
COEO of Zacharlas and Nathan , being h Id in
Judge Baxter's court , took a rather sjnsa- '
tlonal turn when the judge , growing tit 3d
of listening to the testimony of Impeaching
witnesses who apparently did not know any
thing about the case or the witnesses thsy
were teatifylng against except by hear , ay , j ' I
ordered George Schafcr from the witness1
stand. The attorneys for the defense pro
tested vigorously against such actions on
the JuJge'a part , but he refused to allow the
witness to take the stand again.
The case has now occupied ten full days
and bldnfalr to drag on several days longer.
It Is tbo longest preliminary examlnatl n
held by the judge since he hns been on the
bench. Saturday night the prosecution con
cluded Its case , and Monday the defense com
menced the presentation ot Its evidence ,
which Is largely , so far , on the line of Im
peachment. One of the etar witnesses was
Schafer , who was brought here frsm Pitts-
burg to Impeach the testimony of Jules Kap
lan , one of the principal witnesses against
Zacharlas. Schafer knew Kaplan wh n they
both resided in the "Smoky" city , and his
testimony was to prove that his truth and
veracity are bad.
Prior to Schafer taking the stand several
witnesses had been examined nho knew
practically nothing about the casa or the
character of the witnesses for the etate ex
cept by hearsay , and the JuJge , growing
tired listening to them , admonished the de
fense not to place more witnesses of the
same kind on the stand. When Sbafer had
consumed an hour or more to no material
advantage to his side , except to tell what
some ono had told him , the judge ordered
him oft.

Whatever the faults of the Cuban maybe
bo ho has 0110 great redeeming virtue , says
the New York Sun. That Is temperance In
the matter of strong drinks. A drunkard Is
looked upon with disgust. Ho Is an out
cast even from his own family , n source
of pity and contempt to his friends , and a
person to bo avoided on all occasions ,
whether of pleasure or of business. Even the
\\oaknoes of an occasional Indulgence l
looked upon v lth contempt and nothing con
exceed tbo repugnance with which this ex
citable people regard excess In this mat
ter. They never con understand the
amount of spirits a native of a colder cli
mate can stow underneath his belt without
Injury to his head , and some of the per
formances of our volunteer soldiers , re
leased for a few hours from military con
trol , left them In a state ot astonish
ment. A few admiring natlvca In the
early days of Santiago , and with the first
blush of gratitude to the great American
nation still mantling the land , essayed our
national product of the rye. But the ex
periment was not a success , nnd the next
morning their vows of abstinence trcni the
devil drinks of the Americans were made
and In most Instances kept.
Except an occasional pony of French
cognac , or the Island'a rum , the Cuban con
fines himself strictly to those drinks designated
" " soft nnd cool-
nated ns "rcfreacoB , long ,
Ing. Wine , which all over Cuba Is cheap
and of good quality , ho drinks of liberally.
At evoiy meal at a cafe a bottle of "Rloja
Clareto" U placed at the elbow of the diner ,
and nt the private boarding bouses It Is
not an extra In the monthly bill. The price
Is about 10 cents a pint In bottle. "Vino
Catalan , " the better grade table wine , la
dark claret colored , of good body and not so
acrid as the French claret. "Vino Blanco , "
a heavy sweet white wine , Is much losa
used. The favorite non-alcoholic drink is
"lecho con panales. " The "panalo" Is the
white of eggs beaten with sugar until when
dry It forms a cloud-llko substance , crisp ,
brittle and similar In shape to a morning
rott. "Panale" making la a regular profes
sion In Havana and a good manufacturer
commands high wages In the cafes and rco-
taurants.
When our soldiers first wont to Cuba fey
were much exercised over the use of the
panalc. Hugo heaps filled the counters of
the stores and much mystified the rough
warriors. It wna not a food and not a sweet
meat. It could not be touched \\llhout
crumbling Into n thouanl pieces. M ny
were bought nnd experimented with before
Us use as a sweetener for milk was ascer
tained. The drink Is tnalpid but not un
pleasant.
"Naranjada" la composed of ssvcral slices
of oranges , a llttlo lime , sel ZT , Ice nnd
sugar. "Ensalada" la a curious cold fruit
stew ot sliced pine , mango , orange , lime ,
pear , seltzer , Ice and sugar. "Orchata" Is a
mild milk punch. "Cebada , " a favorite
drink In the Interior , Is made ot sweeterel
barley water slightly fermented. "Agraz" la
the Juice of unripe grapes diluted with
seltzer and sweetened with honey. "Gora-
plna" Is n pungent fermented Infusion of
pineapple rind sweetened with sugar. "Yaca-
maya" Is an aerated elder , strong and
heavy. In addition to these there are the
ordinary sodas and pops with which Ameri
cans are acquainted at home.
There Is distilled nt Santiago , and there
alone , by the eminent gentleman who is now
mayor of that city , a rum which Is famous
all over Cuba , and , Indeed , In other Islands
of the sea. H Is the well known "Bocardl , "
a pure , pale amber colored liquid wh'cb ' experts - '
ports declare to bo analmost perfect drnk
In that climate. Some of our army doctors
vilely anathematized It during the campaign ,
but the natives declare it , when taken In
moderation , the most wholesome drink ot
the country. It certainly Is alluring , It not
Indeed fascinating. The garrison at Santiago
have taken to It very kindly and under the
guise of "el mlsmo" ( Bocardl and seltzer ) It
Is one of the first tokens of fellowship at the
Cosmopolitan club.

! "I've slept under a shed with the ther
mometer way below zero , " said the tramp
to a Boston Herald man , "and I've gene
two long days with nothing to eat , but
I'm telling you straight that when I once
bad $1,000 In my pocket I woe worse off
than ut any other time I can remember.
I had just been let out of the bridewell In
Chicago and was begging on the streets
and being turned down on every band ,
when I picked up a $1,000 bill on the side
walk. I thought It was $1 and you hot I
made a hustle to get down a side street.
When I dodged Into a doorway and made
out that I was $1,000 ahead of the game
the sweat started from every pore and my
knoen knocked together , I was regularly
seasick for ten minutes and my heart
thumped away until I thought it would
break out.
"That $1,000 meant a hrap for me , you
understand , but , I was so excited that it
was two hours before I could do any plan
ning , The first thing wan to buy a new
suit of clothes , and I entered a store and
picked them out. When I exhibited that
$1,000 bill the clothier ran to the door to
call a policeman. I got away by a close
squeeze , and then I realized the situation.
Tramp that I was , I couldn't get It
changed at a bank nor use It to make me
more comfortable. If It had been a ten
I could have had lodging * and a bed , but
I'm telling you that I walked the streets
as hungry as a shark and slept at police
stations and In lumber yards ,
"Under the circumstances the bill might
as well have been a piece of brown paper.
I tried all sorts of drdges to get It busted ,
but it was no go , Every time I showed it
I ran the risk of arrest. I offered a butcher
$100 to get It changed , but be refused to
have anything to do with it. I'd have sold
it tor half price and been glad to , but there
was no such thing as making a deal.
Finally , In despair , I went into one of the
newspaper oflices and looked up the ad
vertisements for the week past. The loser
i bad , advertised and I went to his office In
1 a big building and gave up the bill. The
I reward was $50 , but ho counted out $10 on
top of that and Bald ;
" 'I wouldn't have believed there waa
euch honesty In the world , You could have
kept the bill as well as not. '
"He took down my name and all that
and gave the affair away to the reporters.
They wrote me up na the 'honest tramp1
and had my picture In tbo papers , but you
may guei > s I didn't enjoy It overmuch. I
bad $60 in place of $1,000 , and as for my
honesty , it was all bosh. I returned the
bill because I had to , and , though I'm bun-
ery and dead broke and don't know where
to turn In for the night , I'm not looking
for any more big finds. Something with a
figure ' 2' on the corner will just about flt

Arrangements have been completed
whereby Omaha la to become the general
western headquarters of two of the largest
agricultural Implement houses In the United
States. One Is the John Deere company and
the other Is the Walter Dushnell company.
During the last six or eight years both of
these companies have maintained large ware
houses In Council Bluffs , from which they
have distributed their goods , supplying the
retail dealers of this and adjoining utatca.
Now both companies have decided to move to'
Omaha and transact nil business from this
point.
For weeks It has been known that the
Deere and Bushnell companies were figuring
on changing their locations. The mntt-r
was taken up by the Commercial club and
quietly worked through to a successful con
summation , llttlo being said regarding the
deal outside of the inner circles.
The Deere people have bought property
down In the vicinity of the Union Pacific
depot. There are some small buildings upon
the lots which will bo utilized until a now
and commodious structure can be erected.
The Bushnell people have rented one of
the largo warehouses In the lower yards In
the vicinity of the passenger depots and will
begin the removal of their goods at once In
order that everything may be In readlneas
for handling the spring trade.
Both Implement companies upon entering
Omaha will Increase their business facilities
and will make this the supply depot for
Iowa , Kansas and all the western states. It
is said that they will give employment to
fully 100 men each , aside from the traveling
representatives who will make this city
their headquarters.
