as he was rich in wit. On n occa-

At last, losing his temper, MARSHALL
turned on the Judge and asked:

For what, Mr., MARSHALL" asked,
the Judge.

But you've been guilty Of no con-

RARE COLLECTION OF BIBLES.
Dean HoHman's Costly Gift to the
General TheoloujcaI Seminary.

General Theological Seminary.
One Of the many gifts of the late
Rev. Eugene A. Hoffman to the Gen.
eral Theological Seminary, of which
institution he was head, was tle spe-
cial collection of rare old Latin BIZ
bles. This collection is said to be
the rarest in the world, surprising IL
number of editions even that of the
British museum in London and the
Bibliotheque Rationale in Paris. The
collection was started by Cornelius
Vanderbilt about eight years ago.
when he donated the splendid Copiu-
ger library. Since then Dean Hoff-
man has added from time to time
many rare and valuable additions,
spending many thousands of dollars
in his efforts to make the library the
most complete In existence. By all
odds the most important book in the
great library of the seminary is the
Gutenberg Bible. II was sold in 1881
for $4,000 in London to Quaritch
who sold it in turn to the Rev. viii.
liam Mackellar of Edinburgh. In 1898
it again fell into the possession If
Quaritch. who paid for II at that time
$l4,75O. Later he sold 1t To Dean
Hoffman for $4,000, who presented
It to the Genera Theological Sem
