MAJOR PENMAN'S DIVISION.
Ono of the Chief Features of the
Knights Templar Parade.
"The man on horseback" played an
Important part In the third division,
composed of nearly TOO Sir Knights
from tho old Quaker state, and as
they formed on tho west side of Elev
enth street, between Stain and Jef
ferson, they presented an Imposing
spectacle. Pennsylvania Is one of the
strongholds of Templarlsni, and Penn
sylvania, determined not to he out
done by any of her sister states, put
her best foot foremost. There wns the
old Pittsburg commandery, No. 1, with
Its 22." swords and Its mounted escort
of thirty-four horsemen, preceded by
two heralds nrrayed In the costumes
of the days when knighthood was In
llower. And there were 100 members of
tlia Allegheny commandery, No, .1.1, led
by tho famous Stonewall Btignde
band, of Staunton, Vn., which was so
much In evidence during the Confeder
ate reunion in this city one year ago.
With the big Allegheny commandery
marched twenty-five Sir Knights of
the t'niontown commandery, No. ii.
Then there were the Sir Knights of
Tanered No. IS; of Asonlon, No, fi3;
of rhiirtlers, No. 78, besides the. mem
bers of Sit. Vernon, No. 78; of St.
Owen. No. 7; of Knnpp, No. 40, while
Parker. No. L'!, was represented by
nven members, who marched with Sit.
Vernon rnnimandery.
Nor was there a lack of music, for
nearly every commandery had a band,
and aside from tho famous Stone,
wall Brigade band, there were the
Pittsburg Commandery band of thir
ty pieces, the Indianapolis Military
band, composed of forty musicians; the
old Ascalon band, with Its thirty mem
bers arrayed In pure white uniforms;
the Chartlers band, nf twenty men,
from Carnegie, and the Bulger band,
of seventeen pieces, from Brownsville,
Pa.
The Pennsylvania Knights arried
at their posts early, but on account
of the delay In starting th parade
they were compelled to remain In line
for nearly an hour. Then, at 10.30
o'clock, came the command from
Orand Commander Penman, "Forward
march!" Down the long line It was
echoed, nnd in a few moments the men
fiom Pennsylvania were marching up
Slain street with banners waving nnd
bands playing.
At their head rode their grand com
mander, with his chief of staff, Sir
Knight C.eorge J, Fleming and his
aides, Sir Knights Chnrles M. Stark.
James B. Youngstown, John A. Arm
strong. Heorge S. Wood. Oeorge A.
Carston and D.ivld A. Sawdly, with Sir
Knight Robert fc. Wood, of this city,
as escort. Following the ofllclals came
the carriage containing Orand Stand
ard Hearer Knilnent Sir Knight Henry
W. Smith, nnd his aides. Sir Knights
John J. fillroy, Ocirgo C. .Marshall and
D. O. SIcCullom. They rode In a car
riage nnd waved aloft the banner
which has floated over so many
Knights from the old Quaker state.
Following the standard bearers was
the band of Pittsburg commandery, of
thirty pieces, nnd Immediately behind
the musicians rode the thirty-eight
mounted Knights of the famous com
mandery under the command of Sir
Knight Diinley, chief marshal, nnd Sir
Knight B.ibcock, the assistant mar
shal. Marching (lose after their
mounted brothers was the Pittsburg
commandery. No. 1, one of the largest
In the country. There were 22.1 swords
In this company and they were under
he command of Eminent Commander
Sir Knight V. A. F.nrly, Captain Gen
eral Sir Knight H. 1.. Dickson and
(tenerallssmn Sir Knight St. M. Telk-

Scranton Business College.
H. 1. Buck and A. R. Whit more, of
the Scranton Business College, are not
strangers In this vicinity. In fact, their
leputntlon as business men and edu
cators ex'euds far and wide. For tho
past fifteen and thirteen years, te
speetlvely, they have taught very suc
cessfully right here In Scranton. It Is,
therefore, easy to ascertain their rec
ord. On three different occasions, since
tlvese gentlemen opened the Scranton
Business College, have others, stran
geis, announced the opening nf new
business schools. By big promises, ad
vertising "short nnd easy courses,"
"new methods of Imparting Instruc
tion." "actual business," etc., they In
duced certain people to patronize them.
Said people on each occasion whined
for sympathy because of their loss,
caused by the collapse of the so-called
business colleges.
If you are thinking nf tnklng a
course, make sure that you attend n
school thnt will really fit you to fill a
good position one that has nn etnh-li-hett
reputation for doing good work
and Is n permanent Institution. Ho to
the lending business and professional
men nnd ask their opinion of the
Sciantnn Business College; then go to
Buck (c Whltmoie. and demnnd that
they furnish Indisputable proof nf their
ability to do all they claim to bo nble
to do.

CLOSING DAY OF
TRIBUNE'S CONTEST
It Is Absolutely Impossi
ble to Forecast
the Result.
INTEREST IN THE
OUTCOME IS INTENSE
Contestants Aro All Working Hard
nnd with Few Exceptions Aro Con
fident of Advancing in the List It
Is Probablo Many Changes Will Be
Made Contest Closes nt 8 O'clock
Tonight Result Will Be An
nounced Monday Full List of All
Who Havo Enrolled Since the Be
ginningIt Will Not Be "Leaders"
but "Winners" Rules of the Clos
ing Day Some Interesting Tables.
What Was Done Yesterday What
tho Fortunate Eight Will Win.
Today Is the last day of The Trib
une's Kducntionnl Contest. This con
test started on Slay 13, over three
months ago, or, to be exact, Just
110 days ago, nnd will reach its
finish tonight nt S o'clock, when
the court house boll tolls that hour.
During tho sixteen weeks thnt have
elapsed there have been sixty-one
enrolled In the book of contestants,
but a mnjorlty of these were faint
hearted and were soon wearied of
their self-imposed task. There were
seventeen, however, who stuck nt 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
secure enough points to win one of tho
eight special rewards. Four of these
must be left nt tho finish, but which
four 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 mnke
nt the time the books aro closed to
night. Many Changes Are Possible.
It Is quite probable that there will
be ii number of changes on Monday
morning, from the list we publish
today, nnd 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 nil contests most of the com
petitors reserve themselves until the
last clay and finish in n grand rush.
This may or may not be the case in
Tho Tribune's Kducntionnl Contest.
But If 'thete Is nny one of the lenders
who can strengthen his or her position
today, or who can even udvnnce be
yond the point where they now stand
according to the published list, It will
be an act of extreme folly should they
fall to exert every effort to do so.
The race between the contestants from
first to tenth place Is closer than it has
been at any time during tho past two
months.
It is now open to conjecture who will
mnke the best showing on this last day.
As It Is the last chance to better their
standing. It inny 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 remnln.
Not "Leaders" but "Winners."
Tho list of leaders which Is published
herewith appears for the last time
this morning. On Monday morning
there will be a list published, but It
will be the list of winners, nnd it will
give the correct order nf their standing
at the close of the contest ax S o'clock
tonight.
The Tribune will not divulge the
standing of nny contestant after this
morning's edition of the paper until It
Is published on -Monday morning. This
precaution Is tnken to protect the con
testants as well as The Tribune from
the charge of favoritism. During to
day every contestant will be accorded
every opportunity to hnve the points
he has secureil recorded, and the of
fice of the Kdltor of the Kducntionnl
Contest will be open to receive points
from S n. m. to 8 p. m. No Informa
tion will be given out to nny one, how
ever, nnd each contestant may feel
absolutely secure that his or her In
terests will be safeguarded. Contest
ants will take notice nf the following
rules regnrdlng the dosing dny
Rules of Closing Day.
1. After the Issue of this morning no
further Information will bo given out
until tho final result is nnnounced on
Monday morning, September 2.
2. Returns will be received at this of
fice until R o'clock tonight, but do not
delay bringing In your points until an
hour dangerously close to the end, for
no returns will bo accepted from con-

before the hour of 8 p. m. a letter
should be deposited In order to Insure
Its being properly stamped.
5. In case of ties, tho one who suc
ceeds In first scoring tho number of
points will hnve the flrM choice of a
special reward. The hour of making
the return at The Tribune omce or the

Complete List of Contestants.
Following Is a complete list of all
who enrolled In the contest. A large
majority of them apparently have
never attempted to do anything further
than to register nnd to get a book.
Some of them who have not yet made
any returns may do so today, as they
will be allowed to under tho rules, but
no others will be admitted;

Interesting Tables.
In order that contestants may be

points may be necessary for them to
get In some dfslred position, providing
the contestant who now holds It does
not make any 'extra effort today, or
does not Increase his dally average for
tho month, a table Is given, showing
the number of points secured by each
contestant during the month of Aug
ust, up to this morning, as well ns the
