PLENTY or ICE IN THE HUDSON.

FALSE REPORTS THAT THE LEADING COMPANIES
WILL BE SUPPLIED FROM MAINE. a-
An effort has been made to create the impression
fr the mind Of the public that the ice crop In the
Hudson RIVER district has been a failure thus far
this SEASON that there is no prospect Of acerop In
the district and that the leading Ice companies have
been making arrangements TO get supplies of ice
from Maine. There Is no truth in the reports which
have been circulated and 1t is known that many
men have been employed in harvesting ice In the
Hudson River district for several days.
Robert Macay. the president of the Knickerbocker
Ice Company, said yesterday:
think we are oniy'a week ater" this year in the
harvesting of ice than we were last year, and the
prospects for a good harvest In February prom
1sing The storm here in the city to-day is no indi-
cation OF the weather Kingston. They may
have snow up there. There Is fair thickness Of
ice at Kingston and the ice Is fast in the river
OF course. II ranstorm extended up the river and
lasted long enough 70 dislodge the ice there would
have TO be severe cold weather to make ice or
there would be scarcity of ice in the district: but
80 long the ice Is not dslodged, a little more
cold weather will make IL thicker.

WORK OF THE STATE ASSOCIATION AMONG I'm
DEPENDENT AND CRIMINAL CLASSES

WORK OF THE STATE ASSOCIATION AMONG I'm
DEPENDENT AND CRIMINAL CLASSES.
The twenty-thrd annual report Of the State Char.
ties Aid Association gives an interesting summary
Of the results OF the years work In the improvement
of the condition OF the public charitable institutions
6f the city and State. This organization works
through large central association In this city, ana
through its local committees in the various counties
Of the State
The reforms brought about by the association n
the last year are OF unusual Importance. Among
them is a cumulative sentences law. known as tho
wilds act which went into effect April 4. 1865 This
law provides for system Of commitments for drunk
enness. vagrancy and dsordery conduct. which Ia.
crease In length according TO the number OF previous
commitments Five days for the first offence, twenty
for the second, forty for the third eighty for the
fourth and up to six months which Is the
maximum term provided for. With regard to va-
grants the law provides that they may be held. evsa
upcn first or second convictions for maximum tern
OF six months.
Another abuse was the discharge Of prisoners be-
fore the expiration Of their sentences. This custom
IS entirely done away with by the new law In the
more marked "a after Il has been effect little
time time than could be the al nrs,. The deterrent

workhcuse for one Of the three offences included Ia
the law Only 200 returned for the 5wssniy
S returned for eighty and 245 for one hundred and
sixty days. x ,,.
The association has also done much for dependent
children Through three of the county visiting
mittees 1t Is providing homes in families for such
children. In Newburg an agency has been estab-
lshed which has succeeded In reducing the average
population OF the overcrowded Chidren's Home from
forty-eght to thirty. and has fifty mine children
under its supervision outside the Home. In this city
the association maintains agency to provide situA.
tions In the country for homeless mothers with
infants. 40,
Since the date of the annual report. bill pre-
pared and presented by the association providing for
the transfer the State Of the $500 dependent insane
of this county has passed both branches OF the
Legislature.
The association Is supported entirely by the con.
tributions OF those who interested IN It's work:
II requires an annual income of at least $4,000. and
Is at present hampered by lack Of funds An at.
