THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY, SEL'TEMBER 21), 15)00.
LAST DAY OF
TRIBUNE'S CONTEST
It Is Absolutely Impossi
ble to Forecast
the Result.
INTEREST IS VERY INTENSE
Contestants Are All Working Hard
and with Few Exceptions Are Con
fident of Advancing In the List It
Is Probable Many Changes Will Bo
Made Contest Closes at 8 O'clock
Tonight Itesult Will Do An
nounccd Monday It Will Not Be
"Leaders" but "Winners" Hules of
the Closing Day Some Interesting
Tables What Was Done Yester
dayWhat the Fortunate Ten Will
Win.
Tn-duy Is the last day of The Trlb
me's Educational Contest. This con
test started on July 5, nearly three
months ago. or, to he exact, Just
eighty-six days ago, and will reach
its ilnlsh to-night at S o'clock, when
the court house bell tolls that hour.
During the twelte and a half weeks
that have elajised there have been
forty-two names enrolled .11 the bo dc
of contestants, but a majority of these
were faint-hearted and soon wearied
of their self-Imposed tabk. There were
sixteen, however, who stuck at their
posts. Some of these have fallen wil
fully behind the last month, and to
day, the last of the competition, sees
twelve active participants striving to
mure enough points to win one of the
ten special rewards. Two of them
must be left at the finish, but which
two will it be? That Issue remains in
doubt, and it will depend entirely on
the contestants themselves. Those
who have worked hardest will reap
the reward of their labor In strict ac
cordance with the showing they make
it the time the books are closed to
night. Many Changes Are Possible.
It Is quiteprobable that there will
5e a. number of changes on Monday
norning from the list we publish
to-day, and It may be that some who
have held a commanding position all
through the contest may finish lower
down than they are at present. In
nearly all contests most of tile com
petitors reserve themselves until the
last day and Ilnlsh In a grand rush.
This may or may not bo the rase In
The Tribune's Educational Contest.
Hut If there Is any one of the leaders
who can stiengthen his or her position
to-day. or who can even advance be
yond the point where they now stand
according to the published list, It will
be an act of extreme folly should they
fail to exert every effort to do .so.
The race between the contestants from
first to twelfth place Is closer than It
has been at any time during the past
two months, and even the position of
Charles Rodriguez, who has been In
the lead for eighty-two days, Is threat
ened by the upward rush of David V.
Ulrtley, who lias gained forty points
on him in the last month, and from
third place down to twelfth there are
but slight differences. It Is now open
to conjecture who will make the best
showing on this last day. As It Is
the last chance to better their stand
ing, it may be depended upon that
each and every one of the contest
ants who has the least show to go up
higher will make the very best of the
few hours that remain.
Not "Leaders" but "Winners."
The list of leadets which Is published
herewith appears for the last time
this morning. On Monday morning
there will be a list published, hut It
will be the list of winners, and it will
give the correct order of their standing
at the close of the contest at 8 o'clock
to-night.
The Tribune will not divulge the
standing of any contestant after this
morning's edition of the paper until it
is published on Monday morning. Tills
precaution Is taken to protect the con
testants as well as The Tribune from
the charge of favoritism. During to.
day each contestant will bo accorded
every opportunity to have the points
he has secured recorded, and the of
fice of the Editor of the Educational
Contest will be open to receive points
from S a. in. to & p. in. No informa
tion will be given out to any one, how
ever, untl each contestant may feel
absolutely secure that his or her In
terests will be safeguarded. Contest
ants will tnko notice of the following
rules regarding the closing day:

The remaining four contestants did
not average one point dally and arc
therefore not Included In the above
table. The work of the two young la
dles, Miss Jennie Meyers and Miss
Mary Veagcr. both of whom entered
about the middle of the month. Is phe
nomenal, and shows what can be done
If an earnest effort Is made.
In addition to the above we give the
following summnry showing Just how
many points will bo necessary to tie any
contestant with the one leading. Add
to this the average number of points
scored as show.n by the preceding table
and an approximate estimate can be
made of the number of points necessary
to enable a contestant to pass up In the
list. It must be remembered, how
ever, that' nn extra effort will be made
on this, the closing day, and due al
lowance made. Here Is the record:

vances from seventh to fifth, both of
these contestants going over Mr. Cat

C. Spencer, who was sixth yesterday,
is forced to relinquish his hold and
is now seventh, the lowest he has
been. Miss Fannie R. AVIlllanis suc
ceeded in breaking her tie with Harry
Heese. and this morning has undisput

Klchard lloberts also scored for the
first time In twenty-three days.
Both Charles llodriguez and David

their points, but Mr. liodrlguo;; gained
13 point:! on his competitor for tlrst

o"clrfck tonight It Is Impossible to fore
cast, but as the contestants are so
close together there will undoubtedly
be ninny changes. It will be necessary
to get Monday's Tribune to learn the

NO CHANGE IN
STRIKE SITUATION
(Concluded from Page 1.
with Instructions to meet In confer
ence and discuss whether It would be
advisable to make terms with the
strikers on the basis stated. This In
volved n great deal of labor and caused
endless discussion. Some of the super
intendents thought tho increase could
not bo granted without loss. It was
argued by those opposed to granting
the Increase that tho cost of mining
has Increased considerably tho past
live years and with the mines getting
deeper every year It Is bound to In
creaso still further In tho years to
come. The only way to meet operat
ing expenses In case nn Increase Is
granted is to advance the price of coal.
Tho president of one of the big com
panies In New York, who was called
up by long-distance telephone for his
views on this point, Is said to have
replied that he did not think an In
crease In price could be entertained.
Bituminous coal Is too sharp a com
petitor now, nnd nn Increase In anthra
cite would bo to the advantaca ot bi
tuminous. The conference was asked
to examine Into tho cost of mining
coal nnd sec if there could not bn a
saving made somewhere in operating
expenses.
Lackawanna Favorable.
It Is reported that the representa
tives of tho Lackawanna company,
after going over the operating ex
penses of their mines In this district,
were of the opinion that they could
stand tho Increase Another operator
said the Lackawanna company were
in a more favored position than some
of the other conifapnles, It still had
vast tracts of virgin coal lands and
its operating expenses are not as great
as some of tho other companies. From
what can bp learned the operators
were not opposed to granting a reduc
tion In the price of powder, but there
was a strong feeling expressed against
an out-and-out recognition of the min
ers' union. A stenographic report of
the meeting was dispatched to New
York In charge of a special messen
ger. The officers of the United Mine
Workers' assemblies here sav no
agreement which leaves the union out
will be acceptable to the strikers. And
President Mitchell, In a message to tho
oillcers of the union In this region,
warns them against entering Into any
negotiations with individual com
panies. Some of the leaders here think
the companies may be preparing a trap
for the men. One company may offer
a big Increase of wages to its men,
get them back to work and then cause
a stampede among the strikers In gen
eral. All was quiet in this region to day
In anticipation of a settlement of tho
strike.
FRANKLIN MEN
CONTINUE WORK
They Will Also Keep Away from
Strike Agitators Deputies Guard
the Men Who Are Employed.
By Kxclusitc Wire 'rom The Associated Vtisk.
Shamokln, Sept. 28. When the North
Franklin colliery at Trevorton closed
down this evening a number of men
who are not on strike decided that
they would continue work next week,
and that meantime they would hold
themselves aloof from strike agitators.
The latter are putting forth their best
efforts to induce the men to tie up the
colliery. The Heading company's depu
ties will not permit strikers to assem
ble near the colliery to hold up men on
their way to and from work and solicit
them to strike.
The real reason of the Trevorton
men for not having struck long ago Is
a fear that the company will close the
mine for an Indefinite period. The col
liery Is the only Industry In the town.
Eveiythlng was quiet In this region
tonight. Strikers, cojitlnue to refrain
from counting on what they shall do
in case an Increase of 10 per cent, is
granttd. with the understanding that
the operators will not recognize the
I'nlted Mine Workers as a union.
TIIE STRIKE WILL

Rumor That Negotiations for Settle
ment Are Off Are Untrue Min

By lVduslve Wire from The Associated Prsj.
New York, Sept. 2S. The Herald to

"One of the men who has partici
pated In the plans for the setlement
and Is familiar with the facts and the
attendant circumstances said In an In
terview last (Friday) night:
The minor that negotiations looking to the

belief is that the itrlke will romp to an cud

President Cassatt States That His
Company Will Take No Part.
liy i:.clu.lve Wire from The Associated Press.
Philadelphia, Sept. 28. President
Cassatt. of the Pennsylvania Itallroad
company, was seen by a representa
tive of the Associated I'resB and was
asked whether he had anything to say
with reference to tho ntatements pub
lished in tho newspapeis of yesterday
and today in regard to the settlement
of the strike in tho anthracite coal
region. Mr. Cassatt said, In reply,
that he had read tho statements, but
that the Pennsylvania Itallroad com
pany had not been a party to the
negotiations referred to. The com
pany was so email a factor In the nn
thraclte coal trade, that the coal car
rying companies could act without re
ference to It,
Mr. Cassatt said that In nil such
matters It had been the uniform policy
of the Pennsylvania Railroad com
pany through Its entire existence to
deal only with its own employes di
rectly, and It had alwayn found them
fjultn capable of presenting their own
case and of protecting their Interests
In tho dismissions which ensued. Ac
cess was always easy by nny of Its
employes desiring to present nny such
matters to tho executive oillcers and
tho officers of this company wore firm
In the belief that it wns wise to nd
here to this rule In the present In
stance, believing such a course to bo
for the best Interests of both employer
and employed. In saying tills, Mr.
Cassatt added ho had no desire to
criticise the acts of any other compnny
whoso officers thought fiomo other
course more conducive to Its Interests.

Soft Coal Miners of Altoonn Take
No Boycott Orders.
By Kxeluslro Wire from The Assoclsted Trevs.
Altoona, Sept. 28. The soft coal
miners In this section, although mem
bers ot the United Mine Workers of
America, will not take boycott orders
from President Mitchell, In disregard
of his edict the largest soft coal ship
ment of the season was sent east to
day by tho Rochester and Pittsburg
Coal nnd Iron company at Punxsu
tawney, and from mines along the
Beech Creek railroad. These roads are
feeders of the New York Central. The
miners employed by these companies,
with the operators, were parties to a
wage agreement signed at Altoona last
March,
This agreement was not observed by
the operators, and although Mitchell
was appealed to by the miners, he re
fused to suport them In a demand for
tho terms of the contract. Now they
refuse to help him out of his trouble
In the anthracite region and mean to
get out all the work they can, regard

Bryan Favors Trusts.
Mr. llryan Is In favor cf trusts In leality .11
null as any man In the United Stales, tie ail
mits It himself. For lie raja that he is a Rieat
chumpion of labor otganiiation. So am I. The
laboring organlratioh of my stale supported
me for the senate; nnd when they did It, they
knew just wheio I 6tood on every question then
before the people. I am, and have been since t
was a boy, in fator of labor organisation. It
is the only way labor has of ascitiiiK Its equal
rights with tho oreanliatlons. of capital, and in
bo doing is a public benefit, for the well-being
of labor Is of vital concern to the wctl-bclni?
ot the entire nitlon. It benefits labor In mini
bulcM sv.its, Oter and over again Mr. llryan
has said that these organizations arj a peat
blessing. Ami jet labor organization is merely
a form of trust. It is .1 labor trtut. and it Is a
good thing. Hut even labor trust sometlir.es
tiers wrong. When it doe", it loses the n.tni
pal liy ot the great mass of our people; and it
oudht to lie resisted. Just so, the trusts o!
capital ofttn do wiong. When they do, they
ought tn be punUhcd. Hut lierauoe labor ti lists
are roinetim-ss in the wrong, is no reason why
they should be destroyed. What both need
-htn they do wrong Is restraint and correc
tion. Hut what Mr. Ibjan proposes is destruc
tion; nnd If lie is logical, he must destroy the
trust of labor as welt as the trust of capital.
Anotner Trust Nobody Would See

Let me glvs you another and simpler exam

the Illg Four itallroad sjstrm were little, short,
separate lines. The sertlee on each of these
linen was poor. The cars were bad. The tiflrto
end road-bed were far from safe. The passenger
v.ho wanted to t rat el any considerable dis
tance had to get off the cars at one end of a
lino and get cm other cars of another line, and
the longer ho traveled the more he had to do
this. He had to piy higher fare and to buy
many separate tickets. The employes ot those
various lines were less in number than thrj-now-
are and were paid smaller wages. Fre
quently the lines went Into the hands of receiv
ers, and the worl.lngmen had trouble In getting
their wages at all. A great manager combined
those lines into a system. What tvas the re
sult? Jlore trains, faster time, better cais,
cheaper lates and through trains. Ynti ran get
en, one cf tlu,t sjs'em's trains aim, without
change, go to distant point which liefore re
lulled two or three changes and two or thro
tickets. The rystem emploj.s manv more men
than th separate lines employed In fore th
consolidation. The senile is greatly unproved.
The cimvenier.ee to the iasengrr is not a com
parison, but a contrast with what It ustd to
be. Therefnie, there it more tiaveiing, more
buslnc-w. Von aie cjnled cheaper in palate
ijih; tour grain is hauled at lower rales ot
height, more safely and more i-peedilj. m
tn It is that .1 great miracle is wrought; better
scrtite and cheaper rates to the public on the
one hand, and more cmplojmer.t and higher
wages to the cmplojrs em the other band; at
thf same time more profit to the stockholders
who own the road. Hare Mr. tlr.tan say that he
would have that system broken up into tho little-
companies from which it was formed? If
be dares not, he has abandoned Ids position on
the trust.
Trusts and Young Men.
Mr. Ilijan declares the trusts prevent joung
nun from rising in the business world, On the
contrary, the active heads of most ol tlne
t-orpoiatlons are joung men who have risen
without Influence or any ether aid than their
own ability to their high position. Tho preil
dent of the fainrgie Steel company U still a
joung man, nnd rose to his position from a boy
in tho works. What the trust is looking for
what any combination of capital is looking for
Is fresh and tigorous ability. Unless they get
that, I hey cannot succeed. I will ttnture the
assertion tiiat more than ninety-live per cent of
the actlte management of the great combina
tions of capital, Is in the hands of j-oung men
without wealth, influence or position, but whose
worth and merit have been rccognlcd by the
directors ot these great concerns. If the trust
does not have such ability at its command con
stantly, it will break down, just as I lusts often
and or exactly tills teason, are hrcaVr.g down.
Keen, bold, daring minds wilt sec that the
trust is not managed with ability, and they will
organic another trust which Is managed with
ability. A trust can only exist when each and
every department of It, to the smallest detail
ot Its business, is conducted with maihematual
tun) machine-like actiii'.ic,t. Ami the thief de
mand in this country today is for talented, in
dustrious, honest and brave young men to aid
the- mighty work which this Industrial develop,
ne-iit of our civilisation requires.

The Millinery.
The $4.98 hats reveal the true spirit of this millinery store
they are tha hest you or we have ever seen for the money.
Short back sailors, hand-made of velvet, trimmed with tafleta
silk, pom poms and new elTccts in the very newest styles of
course. They are the equal of any hat in the city at eight dollars.
See if you do not think them cheap at $4.98.
The flen's Wear.
The new things are in so many of them that the story, to
tell it all, would be n long one.
There are the new effects in hosiery at 25c, 39c and 50c. The
lower priced arc rich and pretty, but of course the exclusiveness
comes in the half dollar ones. These latter are very elaborate
with silk clocking and cross striped designs; better than any we've
seen for the money.
Neckwear, too.
The latest fad is the "College Bat-Wing," a combination of
two solid colorings so constructed that when tied the effect is very
pretty, not gaudy either.
The very best Scarfs are fifty cents. Hnough said.
The New Books.
"The Master Christian," by Marie Corelli, is the latest candi
date for popular favor. A powerful story, exquisitely written and
charmingly constructed. Here at $1.10.
Same price lor "The Reign ol Law," by James Lane Allen

crowd which came to-night to attend
the nietlns of the Anti-Imperialists'
league of New York.
The crowd was a noisy one and be

there were cheers for McKlnley,
for Bryan, for tho "full dinner
pall" and for Debs. Carl Schurr.
was received vj-lth a tumult of
cheers. The first speaker of the even
ing, Anson Phelps Stokes, dwelt upon
Imperialism, nnd In the course of his
speech said:
"The Filipino war is the greatest
folly of any administration. We will
fall If we should gain the war. The
Filipino we cannot muke citizens
without harm to ourselves, and we can
never make them subjects."
Carl Schurz was Introduced and was
given another round of applause, lie
said In part:

LAWTON'S LAST LETTER.
"I would to Ood that the truth c
this whole Philippine situation coulc
bo known to every one in America
as I know it. If the real history,
inspiration and conditions of this in
eunectlon, and the influences, local
and external, that now encourage tho
enemy, ns well as the actual possi
bilities of these islands and peoples
and their relations to this great
East, could be understood at home,
we would hear no more, talk of un
just 'shooting of government' Into
the Filipinos, or of hauling down
our flag in tho Philippines. If the
so-called anti-imperialists would
honestly ascertain the truth on the
ground nnd not in distant America
they, whom I believe to be honest
men and misinformed, would be con
vinced of the error of their state
ments and conclusions nnd of the
unfortunate effect of their publica
tions here. If I nm shot by a Fili
pino oullet, It might ns well como
from one of my own men, because I
know from observations confirmed
by captured prisoners that the con
tinuance of fighting is chiefly due to
reports that are sent out from
America."
