MISTAKE SOMEWHERE.
MIR. Snyder Says the Woman's
Club Never Formally
Offered a Prize.

At a recent meeting Of the Woman's
Club the ladies discussed the matter of
giving a prize to the graduating class
of Jersey City High School for the best
essay on Woman. About fifteen dollars
was appropriated for the buying of this
prize. presumably a medal, n a commit
tee appointed to SEES Superintendent of
School Snyder. When the club met on
Thursday last, it was reported that Mr..
Snyder objected to receiving the aides
kind offer, on the ground that he wished
to abolish the system of prizes in the
High School as far as possible. This
seemed to satisfy the members of the
Woman's Gu but not the public. and
Mr.. Snyder was asked to state his reas-
ons more fully.
The Superintendent was somewhat sur
prised at, as he expressed it being ask
ed for his reasons for rejecting a prize
which had not yet been offered" The
ladies had never formally put their gem
erous offer before him.. but on one oc-
casion in speaking with Mr.. Snyder. one
of their number, also one of the special
committee, appointed to negotiate the
transaction. had incidentally mentioned
the matter, and Mr.. Mr.. Snyder. not
knowing the subject. had as yet formally
been brought before the Woman,s Club,
day makes the club treasury some hf-
teen dollars richer.
1t is a certain fact that the ladies never
had heart after that one objection to face
Mr.. Snyder on the subject. On the other
Superintendent Snyder does not OBJ
ject to the system of prizes generally, nor
does he wish to abolish them entirely.
What he does object to is. to use his own
words. TOO many Medals.

General Sewe1l's Plight.

It looks this morning as if General
Sewell had ecide to hold on to his seat
in the Senate rather thar draw his sword
once again in the army of his country.
In one way, this is a pity, for General
Sewen is really a good soldier and has a
record for high capacity from the Civil
War. But the General evidently thinks
there is more in being a Senator than a
General. and. presumably. he does not
think it worth while to sacrifice his ma
terial interests for the glory of success
in the fields. What is a laurel wreath
about your brow in comparison with a
firm grip upon the reins of power.
We do not know just how the public
will regard the Generals action We OBJ
serve that the Seventh Regiment is not
especially popular just now. Whether
opinion will be more ienient to a Major
General than it has been to a regiment
of privates remains to be seen. None will
watch the event with more anxiety than
Vice President Carrot A. Hobart n At
torney General John w. Griggs. who so
~cunningly digged the pit into which the
willy old fox Of Camden has tumDled.
