THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-TUliSD AY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1000.
YESTERDAY'S
HESULTS IN THE
CONTEST
Contestants Are Working
Hard for the Special
Rewards.
CHANGES MADE YESTERDAY
Two Young Ladles, Miss Jennie
Meyers, of Luke Ariel, and Miss
Grace Slmrell, of Carbondnle, Score
the Largest Number of Points.
Only 23 Points Separate the Con
testants Occupying Eleventh and
Fifth Positions Standing of the
Sixteen Workers.
Yesterday was the beginning of thi
last two weeks of The Tribune's Edu
cational Contest. The remainder of the
period will undoubtedly be tilled with
energetic work on the part of the six
teen contestants who have scored
points, as well us by some who have
i clustered their names recently, but
have not yet brought In subscriptions.
As the end of the contest Is now so
plainly in sight, each contestant should
do all In his power to increase or, tit
least, maintain his present standing.
The special rewards offered are too
valuablo to lose after many weeks of
earnest work, and It depends on th?
"hustling" abilities of the young men
ami women themselves whether thev
(onip in near the top or down below
the leading ten contestants.
Every possible means will be taken
to safeguard the Interests of each Indi
vidual In this contest and no favorit
ism will be shown. The Tribune will
see that all have a fair and equal
chance In the closing days and houis
of the contest.
Yesterday's changes In the standing
were quite numerous. Miss Jennie
Meyers, of Lake Ariel, who Is a com
paratively recent acquisition to the list
of leaders, came up from eleventh place
to sixth, displacing Eugene Poland,
whom she now leads by a single point.
Harry Reese gained three points on
Uoland, and is but two points behind
him for seventh place. Miss Grao
Slmrell, who was In tenth position on
Saturday night, has also Improved her
standing and goes up one place, and Is
now only seven points behind Reese.
Miss Fannie "Williams, who stood
eighth yesterday morning, is now
tenth, and Miss Mary Yeager, who was
ninth, has dropped behind a little and
Is eleventh. The rest of the contest
ants are practically unchanged. As
thero Is a dlfterenco of but 23 points
separating the eleventh contestant
from the fifth, and as two yearly sub
scribers would take the former Into
tho place held by the latter, the splen
did chance any one of the contestants
has to improve his standing will be
readily perceived. Even the lowest of
the contestants can catch up with tho
foremost ones by a little extra work.
Below we publish the complete list of
contestants, with their standing:

Xew York, Sept. 17. The expected break In
prices of stocks failed to occur today. There
was very considerable selling orders In the mar
ket at the opening, as never falls to happen
after such a break in pikes as that el Satur
day, but the friends et the various stocks had
placed supporting orders In the market and their
buying was sufficient to alieorn the offerings.
The professional triders, who had sold short

dences of support, and they hastened to cover
and take their preflts. Huylng fiom this source
was a material factor in the day. Selni; the

to retreat last week attempted to ratrlco their
lost ground by bidding up prices. The pressure
to tell at the advance stepped this Movement
however, and the market feli back Into lit re

- Mr. C'has. M. Stleff:
JS Having! used your pianos peraonally for some time past, I can speak
5 from experience of their fine uualltlfs. It gives me much pleasure to say
S that in the four yean, of almost continued use. the uprlsht has lost none
S of its beautiful quality of tone or elasticity of action.
3 T AM MOKK AND MOKE PLEASED WITH IT THE MOUE I
USE IT. c. -W. CHADWICK.
More than half a century ol unintenupted progress in the rec-
- ord of the StiefT Piano. Come and see them, and hear them; and
s play on them, and compare them with other pianos. You will
soon acknowledge them one ot the best pianos made, and that is
s exactly what we claim them lo be.
s Pianos of othei makes st prices to suit the most economical.
