gave chase with stones and clubs, and
there was lively race, but the hog was

ICE CROP SMALL.

The men from this city who have been

the Consumers Ice and Coal Co, and a
like number by the pocono leo Co.
President Stradley of the Consumers
Co. on his return said he was greatly dis
appointed. as he had expected that the
weather would continue cold after the
ice formed and make thicker ice. The
cron will scarcely average nine inches in
thickness. while the usual thickness is
about IA to l6 inches.
When asked what would be the result,
Mr.. Stradley said that it would mean the
bringing to this city, as well as to other
cities. large quantities Of Eastern ice in
order to supply the demand.

Committed No Crime IN Jurisdiction
of This Country.

The contention Of Joel NJ Marx. Of the firm Of
Marx & Miller. that his clients had committed no
crime within the Jurisdiction OF the United States
in having in their possession hubs and dies OF the
Bolivar silver dollar OF Venezuela was upheld
yesterday afternoon by United States Commissioner
Ridgway. who discharged Captain George 2.
Boynton, the South American soldier OF fortune and
two men were arrested August q last
They were arraigned under a section Of the federal
statutes which made the possession OF dies for the
reproduction Of foreign and friendly powers coins
a crime. Mr.. Marx pointed out that the laws made
distinction between the possession OF dies TO
counterfeit United States coins and the money OF
another country, contending that proof must be
produced that the men intended TO counterfeit the
coins within the jurisdiction OF the United States
AS the proof showed the coins were to have been
made in South America. Mr. Marx insisted that his
clients had not committed a crime. Commissioner
Rdgway upheld him.

The first six volumes OF "The Complete Works
of Abraham Lincoln" edited by John G.. Nicolay
and John Hay and published by the Francis d
Tandy Company, now ready In this Get
tysburg edition is included a large amount of
entirely new material, which has been brought
TO light through the interest aroused by the pub
ncation of the first edition of the work more
than eleven years ago. The matter. whether
correspondence. documents, reports Of debates
public papers or what not, is arranged in chron-
illogical order, and thus. in a way becomes a
kind of autobiography. Frequent notes have
been added in order TO remind the reader of the
events which inspired the authors words to ex-
plain obscure illusions, or to preserve the con-
tinuity Of the narrative. For a full understand
ing of the contents however they should be
read in connection with some formal life of
Lincoln The volumes include the full text of
the Lincoln-Douglas debates, and among the
new items are two speeches of Douglas deIiv-
cred before the formal beginning Of the debate
but having direct bearing upon it, Other new
material of an important character includes tho
"Rebecca" letters leading up to the challenge
n q duel by Shields. which Lincoln, having the
choice of weapons, proposed TO fight with broad
swords. some Of Linco1n's early poems; the re-
mort NJ his campaign in Massachusetts; largo

MISSIONS REPLY TO CRITICISM.
Presbyterians Deny that Reindeer in Alaska
Are Not Properly Handled.

The PRESBYTERIAN Board of Home Missions has
issued a statement in reply 10 the recent report
OF Frank c. Churchill. a special agent OF the
Department of the Interior. who investigated the
condition Of school service and the domestication
Of the reindeer in Alaska The statement accuses
Mr. Churchill of being prejudiced, and asserts
that he did not desire 10 examine tmpartlally the
conditions and that the handling OF the rein
deer business through the missions has been a
decided economy 10 the government. The state
ment says:
The, have been the agency OF distribution 70 the
natives This was the object in securing the rein

the business II is its credit The purpose or
the government not 10 accumulate herds or
reindeer, but them transferred TO the natives
for their benefit. This has been done
The special agent repeatedly atiirms that there
were reindeer belonging 10 the Presbyterian ana
9th er missionary boards, and they were not prop
ery handled. Our reply is that the Presbyterian
own a deer. We have refused. as Dr.. Harris
states in his reply, To so into the reindeer 2usl,

PECKsNIFF AND HIS PROTOTYPE.
Some Favorite Expressions Of S. G. Hall,
D1ckens's Model.
From The London Spectator

From The London Spectator.
THE Independent Review contains an article
by Mr.. Q. c. Osborne on "Pecksnif and His
Prototype" Dickens, it seems, used q contem-
Of THE Art Journal as a model for his great
creation, Mr.. Pecksniff In some ways the por-
Taiture was very close indeed, even favorite ex-
pressiOns OF the original being reproduced ver-
words spoken at the severing OF the ties be-
tween Tom Pinch and his benefactor, and puts
the phrases habitually used by Hall in italics:
Il think Mr.. Pinch might have done better
than choose for his companion one who, at the
close OF long intercourse, had endeavored as
he knew, TO lCOund nty feelings / am not sure
that this tCGs delicate in Mr.. Pinch. am not
sure that this fCdS kind in Mr. Pinch tDiU 90
further and say, I am not quite sure that this
was eUen ordinarily grateful in Mr. Pinch"
The table in Mr.. Pecksniffs chamber" pro-
vided with a lamp and drawing materials to
enable him TO fix architectural idea should
one come to him IN the night, had its original
in Halls bedroom. Mr.. Osborne says that he
never went into it without having the writing
material pointed out and being told:
"Ah! you see am never idle. II get an idea
during the night I light my candle and tot II
down. Let live to be useful That is the
way I have succeeded in doing much work
This is the four hundredth volume I have writ
ten or edited, in addition to all my other writ
ings and reviews. Be industrious, my dear boy,
and you will be happy. Ahi This is portrait
of Mrs. Halls sanity mother, Mrs. Fielding.
God bless her." Here he always took down
the picture and kissed it,
Mr. Osborne says that in copying his model
Dickens reproduced all the failings and ignored
all the virtues; IN fact, he proceeded on his usual
lines of making his character the persOnihcatton
of a moral quality In Pecksniff he created
humbug and hypOcrite pure and simple, and In
working out this abstraction he omitted all the
cOun terhalanCing virtues of the model To say
that Hall was Pecksnif is not correct. Hall
supplied the manner and turns OF speech needed
for making concrete an abstract invention
