The Hcrnnton Tribune's Educational Contest, which was inaugurated on last Thursday, July 5, still continues to attract great attention throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania. In fact, thi' Interest in this contest Is greater than It was at first, as the merits of the undertaklnsr are better compre hended by the public. The offer to the young1 men and women of this section is so generous, so Just and fair that It lias found universal favor everywhere. As thn contest ltows older the num ber of names enrolled continues to in crease. In a few days The Tribune will publish the names of the participants in this contest, and as the days go by anil new workers ate added to their ranks thoy will also be noticed. Tribune's Plan Commended. The various articles explaining the features of the contest have received widespread attention by newspaper readers all over Northeastern Penn sylvania, nnd as the merits of the spe cial rewards are becoming thoroughly understood expressions of hearty com mendation are universal from people ot all stations In life. The fairness nnd Justice of the plan of deciding the win ners of the special rewards has es pecially mot with favor, all conceding that it Is the most meritorious system of award that has ever been devised, as It entirely does away with the time- honored practice of holdlnc back a hi! Co mass of coupons until the Inst hour and then giving the award to the person who can command the most money. Under the rules of the Edu cational Contest ull have u fair show, and by the point system the worker who has done tho most effective can vasslnc will bo the person who will have the, opportunity of making the first choice of tho ten special rewards. Educational Eewards. These special rewards are nil of the very highest merit and have been se lected because of their adaptability to the object The Tribune had In view in opening this contest. In addition to increasing Its circulation The Tribune also wished to adopt a plan whereby the participant might obtain a prac tical benefit. With this Idea foremosc The Tribune decided to place before Its friends special rewards in the nature of scholarships in the leading Institu tions of this section, beside other 10 wardB of great value. As the scholar ships predominated In point of money valuation it was decided to call this competition nti Educational Contest. The scholarships embrace tuition In ncndemlo, musical nnd business schools and are for the education -and prac tical advancement In learning of yotins men and women. Ilesldes the scholar ships there arc special rewards for O .A RULES OF THE CONTEST SPECIAL REWARDS. 1.

A Laudable Ambition. There are a laige number of young persons of both sexes who will have little or nothing to do during the sum mer months. Among them nre many students, some of whom have aspira tions for a more advanced course of study than Is apparently within their reach. The Tribune would bo pleased to have them try this work during their days of vacation. There Is a great chance for them in this offer. By ener getic work they have a very good op portunity to attain their ambition. Graduates of the various high schools throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania are now ouu'PPed to enter upon their studies In either tho Wyoming Acad emy or the Keystone Seminary. These scholarship rewards should nppeal strongly to such students and gradu ates, as they place within their reach an opportunity to finish their educa tion absolutely without cost. Advantage of a Business Education. Many young people who are unem ployed look with envious eyes upon those more fortunate who hold situa tions, A very essential reason why they are not receiving a salary Is because they are not fitted to enter a business house by reuson of not having a uooa commercial education, liy taking ad vantage of the offer of Tho Tribune they Btand a good chance of obtaining a scholarship in the Seranton Business College, one of the very best schooU for u commercial or shorthand educa tion In the country. After u thorough preparation in this college tho student Is helped to secure a situation, nnd mony of Its graduates are now cm ployed In this city and elsewhere. There Is no excuse for any person to be without work In this section of the state this summer. IOvcn If a partici pant does not share In the special re wnrds he can make a good commission by canvassing for The Tribune, being paid at the rate of 10 per cent, for ail cash subscriptions. Kach and every ono of the contestants will be compensated in accordance with the profits of his labor. TOItEST CITY. Special to the Seranton Tribune. Forest City, duly S.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That Contain Mercury. as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous rurfaces. Such articles should never be used except on pre scriptions from reputable pbslelans, as the damage they will do is ten fold to Ihe good you can possibly derive from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by P. J. Cheney k Co., Toledo, O., contains no mercury, and Is taken lntcrtally, acting "directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of tho sjstcm.

Hall's Family Pills are the best. THE MARKETS. Wall Street Review. New Vork, July 7. 'the stock market was in the doldrums this morning, with scarcely enough way on to indicate tho direction of the pilce movement. Tlur was nothing more than a sluggish drllt of prlcis In sympathy with the movement of special stocks. lmlslllc weak ened u point nnd Illinois Central was puslvd up two points. Missouri I'aclfls turned heuy on reallilng sales. Thcie was tome renewed show of strength In New Jersey Central. The whole market weakened and fell below last night on tho surprisingly weak return of the clearing liou'H banks. The light volume of the selling In face of this statement is striking cvlilcni e of the confirmed dullness of the maiktt. Total sales today, H,"U0 shares, The Imncl market has moted iriegularly in sympathy with stocke and there has been little eUdince of the expected pressure for relnestment of July dividends and interest.
