.FURR TO PROVE.
STERN TEST FOR
GEORGE ABRAMS

The fight was postponed at a
late hour today because of
threatening weather. 1t is
scheduled to be held tomorrow.
They'll be trying it again to-
night, will Phil Furr and George
Abrams, out there under the bright

FUR and Abrams were scheduled
to meet last Monday night but an
all day rain killed the show and
whatever hopes Match m a k er
Goldie Ahearn had of renewing his
acquaintance with some real
money.
The fight was really steamed up
last week. Furr had promised to
knock out Abrams while George
had replied that Phillip was a
"fireman's nightmare"-you know,
false alarm.
But the principals were hardly
as belligerent as their managers,
Sydney FiShel, who does the con-
nlvlng for Abrams, and Chris Dun
dee. who dittoes for Furr. All
week the two gentlemen were at
odds and at times they forgot their
chief duty was to cut their boxers
purses and not each others
throats.
The argument was over gloves.
Dundee maintained Abrams al
ways was protected because pill
lows" were rung in by some sinis-
ter third party who had the Sven
gall concession for George.
Abrams was supposed to make
1853 pounds on the day of the con-
test. He did that all right-last

WOMEN'S COLLEGE
 OFFERS STIPENDS
Local Students May Enter Competition for Large
 Scholarships

The attention of local high school students has been called to six new scholarships, competition for which is open only to girls who live out side of New Jersey, and which will be offered next year by New Jersey College for Women, New Brunswick. Only girls whose homes are outside of the State of New Jersey and who wish to enter college in September, 1899, may compete for these grants, all of which are renewable from year to year. Local students may also compete for many other schol- arships offered by New Jersey Col lege for Women. In all there are more than 100 scholarships available for incoming freshmen.
 Of the six new scholarships for out of state girls the largest is the Douglas Scholarship of $500. There are five new National Scholarships, two of $500 and three of $500 each. Awards are made on the basis of character, examinations, financial need and scholarly ability.
 Md1C1 4St 4AdS UCCn oCI Dy tAAC Scholarship Committee as the final date by which students may apply for the Douglas, National and Voor- hees Scholarships. Applications for all other scholarships must be made by June 1st. Complete information on all available scholarships for freshmen may be secured from the secretary of the Scholarship Com mittee, New Jersey College for Wo- men, New Brunswick, New Jersey.
 The policy of New Jersey College for Women as to student aid has been expressed by Dean Margaret T. Corwin in the following state ment: "Our aim is to see that no fine, able, well-balanced, public spirited student is denied the oppor- tunity to receive a college education for lack of adequate financial sup port. On the other hand our ex- perience indicates that it is unwise to encourage 8 student who lacks outstanding ability to undertake to finance herself completely. To earn ways and means and master the work in courses at the same time is to difficult for any but exception ally able students.
