A considerable time has elapsed since

usually termed reference books These
books contain Information on subjects
which are usually investigated for a di-
rect practical purpose and the gathering
of a satisfactory collection is one of the
most important purposes of library.

of our recent accessions, however goes as

City Detective Jerry Murphy went to

posed to be operation un the ranch of
Conley & McTague. the penitentiary
contractors. An eX-p nVict. Charles
Dryer, who was recently released from
the penitentiary, afgt. serving four
years for forgery, arrived in Butte
few days ago and informed the local
officers thar he had discovered that
employees of the ranch had counter
feting outfit and wire turning out
counterfeit money. Dryer appeared to
be so sincere in his statement that the
officers placed contidt nee in his story
and notified Warden rnnley. Yester-
day Detective Murphy went to Deer
Lodge and with Mr.. Nunley. made an
investigation. 1t was found that all the
foundatica there is + + the story lies
in the fact that one Ut the employees
of the ranch had a NJ XiGan bit that he
wished to have silver plated. One of
the circulars, such as was found in
the person of Counterfciter Schricken-
COST. fell into his HAMS, 1t advertised,
or purported to, silver plating out
fit, and this man, not being shreWd
enough to know what the circular
meant, ordered an outfit. There was
no evidence found whatever that it had
been used. Mr. Conley informed Detec
tive Murphy that Dryer by his own
wishes, had remained nj the ranch a
month after his time vas out, and then
demanded pay for his services, which
was refused him. Dryer did not like
this, and Mr.. Conley thinks che circu-
lated the story in the hope of injuring
him.

he can see nothing outside of it, as the
blanks comprising it are so high as to
shut off completely any view of either
land or sea. 1t is said that inside the
hut he is confined in an iron cage
through the bars of which the eyes of
the guard are constantly upon him; that
he does his own cooking, and is given
but few liberties of even the most
trivial kind.
Surely if the courts pronounce him
innocent it will be hard matter for
the French government to make
amends for these hardships imposed
upon him in this barren little island
But the Imprisonment, hard as it has
been, can hardly be compared to the
modification of the public degreda-
ton before his comrades and the world.
For his keepers on the little isle COM
modious quarters have been provided
that their life might be as easy as pos
sible. The building in which the guard
live is comparatively large, being about
80 feet square with tower at one end
in which can be seen from the sea a
rapid-fire machine gun that is menace
TO any whose curiosity leads them too
close to the island. The guardhouse is
situated on higher ground than the
prison, but is so close to it that one can
look from the windows into the stock

The many rumors of attempted res
cue have but made the lot of the pr-is-
oner worse than it would otherwise

SPRING DRESS GOODS.
Various Materials Which VIII He
Popular for the Coming
Season.

Silks are to occupy the prominent
position in fabrics during the spring
season and will be in vogue both for
waists and full costumes.
Chine silks have been revived and a
subdued appearance is given the col
ors by a misty effect, which is in high
faver in New York and Paris.
Bordered silks, plain and figured, are
now being shown in the leading stores,
and are being chosen for costumes by
the leading Paris dressmakers, the bor-
ders being artistically employed for or
namentation.
Printed grenadines and printed
mousseline de sole are fashions, espe-
cial favorites for evening and summer
wear, and will be made up over colored
foundations. The high-art designs rep
resent floral effects portrayed in color2
o, natural flowers. Such materials will
be in favor for waists and for full COS
tunes.
Hairline stripes are the dominant de-
signs in wool and in worsted dress
goods, and are especially desirable for
tailor-made suits. Broadcloths, Nene-
tians and cheviots. particularly in
black, will also be freely used As the
tailormade gown is to lose none of its
popularity, abundant provision has
been made for a collection of neat ef-
fects in worsted dress goods suitable
for such costumes.
Wash goods are TO gain additional
recognition, so say the potentates of
fashion. While all wash goods will be
employed for summer garments, heavy
materials, plain and printed, will hold
first place. Plain and fancy piques,
ginghams. madras cloths and fancy
ginghams of silk and cotton are to be
the leading fabrics,-American Queen.

LIFE OF THE BATTERIES.
How Long the Motors of the Horse

They Cost.

In answer to the question:: How
long will a battery last?" an electric
wagon man said: Its life is iudetinite

1T seldom happens, where the cur
rent is taken from wires connected with
the city mains of central lighting sta
tons, that the cost for each full charge
exceeds GO cents. AS is well known
electric lighting and power companies
usually base their prices for their out
put on the amount of current con
sumed, and when a user of carriage
also employs the same electric current
for lighting his house or for any other
purpose he can arrange to charge his
carriage batteries at cost extremely
slight. We have found that the average
cost of running is one cent per mile foI
current when taken from public sta
ton. 1t frequently happens that own
ers of our carriages possess their OWL
private electric plants, and when this is
the case the cost is even less, and un.
der favorable condition is sometimes
as low as one-quarter of a cent mile.
The carriages are designed for al
average maximum speed of about l.
miles an hour on the level. In weight
the motor vehicles vary from approx
mately 1000 pounds for the smallest tc
$500 for the largest, and in each in
stance the battery weighs about one
third of the gross amount. When com

gies in general use they look heavy, but

WOMEN OF FREED CUBA.
Some Interesting Facts About Their
Social Life on the Trop-
icaI Island.

| The social life of Cuba will be SUBJ
ject of interest to many prospective
travellers TO that lovely land of tropical
warmth ard plenty.
In the higher walks of Cuban society
ladies never appear anywhere in public
without an escort, either male or fe-
male. If a lady be accompanied by a
man, he must be a husband, brother or
near relative; otherwise the judgment
passed upon her will be even more
harsh than if she had no escort at all,
1t is furt her to be noted that no matter
how we'll one may know Cuban or resi-
dent Spaniard in a business or social
way he will not be invited to meet the
ladies of the family unit! his character,
history and position in society are
thoroughly known Even then he will
never be permitted to see the unmar-
ried women alone. Letters of introduc-
ton are not readily given to men to be
presented to ladies' for the reason that
he who gives them, though they be
couched in most reserved language,
considers that he practically guaran-
tees every future act Of the recipient.
With the Cubans Sunday is a feast day,
given up to social enjoyments after the
religious duties of the morning have
been performed. Certain saints days,
on the other hand, must be seriously
observed, and functions which would
be permissible on the sabbath would
be severely reprobated on such ami
versaries. 1t is on Sunday that the cock
fights and bull fights take place. Amer
lean women may be surprised to find
that Cuban gentlemen smoke anywhere
without asking permission Of the
ladies', either at the cafes, hotels, resi-
dences or even in the ordinary street
cars. The only restriction on the priv
ilege of smoking is imposed at the the
aters, and even there one may indulge
in it in the corridors. Another custom
not peculiar TO Cuba. being followed
everywhere on the continent of Europe,
although not in the United Kingdom, is
that at public tables in the cafes or
hotels Il well-bred Cuban never takes a
seat without asking permission, per-
haps simply by a sort of interrogative
bow, of those who may be already
seated there. A similar salutation is
made upon taking leave OF social visit
ing there is great deal among both
Spaniards and Cubans, but the private
dinners and balls are comparatively
few. The American visitor calling upon
Cuban family should never disturb
the cane-seated chairs which are ranged
with the greatest regularity along the
walls of the reception-room. Finally,
the color line is not SO closely drawn in
Cuba as it is in the United States and
education, wealth and personal worth
generally determine natives position,
without regard to the possible presence
Of colored blood in his veins.-Chicago
Chronicle.

VI WHILE the Dreyfus agitation
NV in France is as strong to-day
Wv as 1t has been at any time yet
the French people are taking calmer
yiew of the whole situation than they
have previo4-ly. But few weeks
ITO a verdict by the court of cessation
whether for or against Dreyfus would
in all probability have caused trouble
In the republic, but to-day such ver-
aict would cause but little more than a
ripple if it was against the prisoner,
and would result in nothing more seri-
Gus than the ENHANCEMENT of number
of officers high in command in the
French army if in his favor. Even this
later feature is only possibility while
the probability is that the army would
be whitewashed, even if it is rotten to
the core, for the sake of the public
peace The army on the other hand
will in all probability be glad to escape
so easily from a predicament which
they never foresaw.
Looking at the whole case from the
viewpoint of an outsider and an Ameri-
can 1t would seem that the officers of
the general staff had overreached
themselves in the persecution of Drey-
fus. 1t would seem that the one ele-
ment which they failed to consider in
the conviction and punishment of
Dreyfus was the wife and family of
the convicted man. 1t is to her belief
in her husbands innocence and her
energy and perseverance that the case
was not allowed to sink into the OBJ
security which it is evident the army
desired.
When all of France was ready to ac-
cept the verdict of the military tribu
nal and declare the convicted man gull
ty of the greatest crime possible for
him TO commit, his wife refused to be
led by the sway of the masses and pro-
nounced her faith in her husbands in

passing near the island. In fact the
island is so small that it would be inn
possible to place the small prison at a
point where it could not be seen.
The home of the prisoner is a small
hut not over Is feet square, surrounded
by a high stockade around which his
guards pass back and forth constantly.
While the prisoner is allowed to walk

nocence. She did more than that, she
began Immediately to search for addi-
tional evidence or for flaws in his trial
with which she could appeal to the
minister of justice for a new hearing
for her husband. Her advocacy of his
cause found its first friends among
Hebrews, both in and out of France.
The Protestants were the next to join
her standard in behalf of her husband,
and so France was divided, and the
question of the guilt or innocence of
n junior officer of the army, man who
under ordinary circumstances would
have been speedily forgotten as the
army wished, has come nearer causing
D repetition of the terrible days of the
Commune than anything France has
witnessed for number of years.
In almost every country of Europe
and America outside of France the pre-
vailing impression to-day is that Drey-
fus is innocent, but whether the court
of cessation will SO proclaim him is as
yet uncertain. In France the people are
looking at the whole question in a
Calmer light, and ii is now furnishing
the foundation for wagers among the
betting classes. Even money is being
laid on either side, and the betting is
but indicative of the feeling of the
French people who consider the chances
of the convicted man about even for and
against his release.
But while the court of cessation de-
lays its verdict; while the Figaro de-
fes the government and continues to
publish the damaging evidence against
the officers of the general staff; while
an anxious wife works and prays that
a great wrong may be righted and her
husband liberated and his good name
restored to him; while the French peo-
pie lay their bets on the verdict of the
court, what of the unhappy prisoner in
his little hut on lonely island in the
Caribbean sea?
Rumors of death, of attempted es-
capes, of persecution have been rife
ever since French man-of-war set the
unhappy man ashore at Devils island,
where ii was then decreed that he
should end his days, and the sooner
ended the better pleased the French
army would be.
Many efforts have been made to in
vestigate the conditions surrounding
thu prisoner, but all of them have
