 Yesterday while a Review cores pondent was prancing around the su- burbs cf Don Luis, a weather worn hobo called on the lady at the sec tion house and asked for hot din ner, representing that he was rail road man.

He missed, but the bulldog didn't and amid a shower of lid filters ana household bric-a hrac. and block out of the seat of his pants, he dis appeared in the direction of Bisbee-

Rutgers Scholarship.

The thirteenth annual competitive ex-
animation under the free scholarship law of
1890 for admission to the State College,
will be held on Saturday, the 18th of June,
by the County and City Superintendent of
schools, in the Court House Of each county.
Under the operation of this law students
best fitted to enjoy its benefits have been
received by competitive examination; sixty
seven per centum of candidates have been
admitted Further, of the twenty-four
class honors awarded during the continue
ton of this law, seventeen have been taken
by students on these scholarships.
Free tuition gives opportunity to bright
but poor youth, many of whom otherwise
would not develop talents which in public
or in private life benefit the State. Fifty
eight per centum of students admitted
have come directly from the public schools;
others in large part trained in them.
Some years ago inquiry was made of the
State Superintendent, and of the County
and City superintendent of public schools
as to the benefits of this law Answers re-
ceived, strongly, with unanimity, approved
of the law; chiefly because of the oppor-
tunity afforded to poor, ambitious, bright
students and secondly, because it provided
through the college requirements uniform
standard of excellence in the high school,
particularly in the country villages, towns
and smaller cities.
Eighty per centum Of the present Senior
class spent the whole, or good part, of last
summer vacation at work earning the means
to enable them to complete their college
course.

MANTUA.

There is but one topic of conversation in
our village and the members of the con-
gregation and citizens are indignant at the
disgraceful meeting held in the M. Z.
Church last Monday night. Before the
meeting began the pastor arose and stated
that there must be perfect decorum. The
president of the Board of Trustees called
the meeting to order and proceeded with
the regular business, but before they had
gone far the pastor made himself amenable
to the law by threatening the life of one
of the trustees. When the time for the
election of two trustees came the president
declined the nomination for chairman in
favor of the pastor. The pastor took the
chair, read the law, gave his own interpre-
tation of it, proceeded to appoint the
judge and tellers Of election, all of whom
were in favor of one party. AS soon as the
members of the congregation commenced
to cast their ballots they were refused by
the judge of election, who was the secre-
tary of the meeting and had already called
one man liar. Justice was called for but
not given. A motion to adjourn was lost,
but the pastor adjourned the meeting. The
whole trouble has arisen because the trus-
tees, at meeting in April, voted $25 of
the cemetery money to pay the sexton of
the church, some of whom deny they did
it, but their minutes and reports show it
was taken.
