O- J acknowledged and receipts nre sent di rect to tho subscribers. This plan Is proving entirely satisfactory and both contestant and subscriber rccelvo re ceipts direct from The Tribune. Thero is a tendency on the part of some young persons, who -would llko to enter tho contest, to consider that It has now been open too long for them to stand any chance of securing one of tho special rewards. On the con trary, those who enter now have al most an equal opportunity of winning most of the rewards, and those who nre ambitious workers may even lead the list at the close. A few yearly subscribers, counting twelve points each, would work wonders In over taking thoso who have entered earlier. Of course, It Is to The Tribune's ad vantage to have as many contestants as possible nt work, but It is holding out no false hopes in making this statement. Head the conditions of this remarkable Educational Contest and send for a book of subscription blanks at once. -0 RULES OF THE CONTEST The special rewards will be glv'n to tho persons securing the largest number ot points.

Thero have been candidates on tho Prohibition ticket befeire, but few, If any, have made any regular canvass for votes. This the llev.

Only Three Were Cnught by, tho Police Drag Net. Chief of Police Hobllng ordered tho precinct commanders In nil pnrts of tho city to cornll all tho tramps to 1m found early yesterday morning, think ing that perhaps some of the Mont rose Jail breakers might bo gathered In by this means. Tho result of this round up was only three Inoffensive hoboes, nil of whom were discharged. All of the well known haunts of tho knights of the road were visited by the policemen; freight cars In all the railroad yards were examined, but only three were found, one In North Scran ton nnd two nround the Lackawnnna yard. Such a raid made a yenr ago would have resulted In tho capture of at least twenty-live vagrants If not morn. The explanation made by Chief Rob ling for the presence of so few pan handlers Is their fear of being nrrested and made to work on the roads. He believes that the fact that tho county Jail prisoners nro being worked has spread all over the eastern part ot the country and that tramps are accord ingly shunning this city. INTERESTING TESTS.
