'Hn INTWU'ST aroused by tho first
announcements of The Tribune's
IMur.itlonal Contest Is still vet
lively, and not n day p.i8U" but there
ate entries. The feature of the contest
tho past few days li.m been the enioll
Incr of the names of ouns ladles.
These nre more especially fiom out
sttlo the city, and The Tribune is
phased to extend a cordial welcome to
theso woikur., for they are particular
1 desli.tblr for this kind of effoit, and
when they do start In on an ambitious
project they take hold with a xlni ana
earnestness which their brothers would
do well to emulate.
Opportunity Still Open.
The opportunity to enlist in tho army
of piot;re-s nnd education Is not yet
lost. Theie is yet time enough for the
ones who have been hesitating to come
forwaid and place their names on the
books of the contest hesitating be
tween hope of belnK able to obtain
substantial advancement and winning
a fine icward for their labor, nnd fear
that they may not possess the icquls
ltcs necessary to make a success of the
canvass, liut there is no way of foio
eastlnff a result in such a competition.
Tho only test Is an actual trial of your
skill, tact and pptsooiinco. You may
as well bo anions the winneis of these
epeclal row aids as some boy or Rill of
jour acquaintance. Pome of them have
t-een an oppoitunity and masped li:
you may as well do likewise, and if
you have faith in jour superior abil
ities you should be able to beat them In
a fair, open contest.
The Special Rewards.
Tho Tribune's Kducatlnn.il Contest

this Fection of Pennsj Ivanla. because
of the" extremely liberal natute of the

others, because they will appeal more
to the class of younK men and voinei
