able special rewind? which were of
foreil to thoe f voting the larges-t num
ber. Saturday evening the contest closed
ani all points counted In tho grand
total were In the office of The Tribune
or In tho hands of 'Tni'le Sam." with
Instructions to deliver to this ofllce.
Wilhelmina Griffin Tirst.
Although It w.is net until hunrlny
mottling that the iesu.lt In full was
known. MIfs (lilflln had such an over
whelming number of points to turn in
on Saturday night thit as soon na they
weie counted It was seen that she
would lead unless Meyer Lewis, whose
turn came next, could bring In over POO
points. s the returns of each contest
ant were kept sn ret from all the rest.
Mr. Lewis had, of course, no means of
knowing how gteat was his necessity,
and when he. brought In but 122 points
as his final contribution it was at once
known that ho had lort first place. If
not second, as Garfield Anderson's
score had been so materially augmented
by tho large number of points he had
put In. The victory of Miss GrifTln
gives her the first choice of the entire
eight scholarships, and she will In all
likelihood teloct the four-year courte
In Swarthmore college, valued at $1,CC0,
The other winners nte given in tho ac
companying table.
The friends of the various contest
ants all seemed to be content to wait
until Monfiay morning1 for Information
as to the outcome, and, quite unlike
List year, the employes in the huslness
office had few questions to answer. It
was necefp.iry to ak every one who
did inquire to wait until Monday
moiulug. as several of the contestants,
who reside out of the city, had pos
slbly not mario their full returns, and
these might later change results.
The Closing Hours.
There was at no time during the rush
Incident to the elre the slightest frte
tion. and the fortunate young men and
wotAen who finished In a position en
titling them to tho eight special re
wards, won strictly on the merit of
their Individual work.
During the duller hours of the clos
ing day returns came In very slowly,
but nti night came on and the hours
began to git clos-e to tho limit, the
competitor, ncromranled n niost casca
by their f.ithets or bi other, or some
older ft lends, began to troop Into tho
olllce of the business manager, when)
the returns weie received, and to take
out of their pockets large batches of
tho llttlo subscription blanks with the
unmet of new subscribers thereon.
It became more and more evident, na
the various contestants leported, that
they hud been' resonlng most of their
long-term suhscrlbets until tho last
day, In the hopo that by so doing they
would overwhelm some of those above
them. As It turned out, this policy
benefited Miss GrifTln nnd Mr. Ander
son very much, but did not help the
rest of the competitors to any extent.
How the Contestants Reported.
Tho first contestant to make a re
port on Saturday was Frank Kern
meter, whoso brother Arthur (who
won second place In last year's educa
tional contest) brought in ten points
for him at 8:30 a. m. At 11 o'clock
a letter arrived from Knctoryvllle
enclosing 12 more points for Kemmercr.
Shortly .after that Miss Meredith
brought In 14 points. Then thero was
a lull until nearly 4 o'clock, when Wil
liam Miles came in with 195 points,
putting him at that time In third
place, Ten minutes after one of Ray
Buckingham's friends brought In 21
points for him, and he was followed
an hour later by Ray's mother, who
added 01 more points to his score. Miss
Vlda Pcdrlck was the next to come In,
and she brought In 17 points nt fi.,10.
From that time until the closing hour,
8 o'clock, the contestants beslged the
office with largo packets of subserlb-
WINNERS IN

ers' names and generous rolls of bills
to pay for them.
Mis Wilhelmina Orifnn, the winner
of first place, did not come to the office
herself on Saturday evening. Her
elster, Miss Cot a, represented her In
tel ests. Ray Buckingham was also
absent. With these two exceptions
all of the rest of tho winners were
present, but none of them will have
any knowledge of what their positions
are until they see this morning's
Tilbune. Tho last return of the day
vas made by Miss Minnie Wnllls, o.f
Carbondnle, who sent a letter fiom
Cit bondale, enclosing threo points.
As each contestant or his or her rep
tesentatlve made an nppearanco they
were taken to one end of n long room
nnd their points nnd money received,
tetorded nnd compared In nJbsoluto
prlncy. No one knew anything of the
returns of tho others and each of tho
oung nun and women deemed grati
fied that their Interests were thus
peache:
Buy your Dela
ware and Jersey
peaches now, for
canning, direct
from the orchards.
Shipment daily.
E. G. Coursen
Headquarters for fruit and ve-etablw,
safeguarded. As the hour of 8 np
proarhed there was n nervous tension
on tho part of the few who were wait
ing, but all were assured that If they
wore In the ofllce nt 8 o'clock they
would be taken care of.
No Possibility of Further Chango.
As explained above. In accordance
with the rules printed In The Tribune,
no report of the standing of the con
testants was given out on Satuulay
night, ns It was possible that some
mall roturnn might materially alter tho
tesult. it had been prnvHert that any
letter with a postmark of 8 p. m. or
earlier would be received nnd any
points that might be con alnrd would
bo counted for the contestant who sent
It. There were several letters re
ceived nt the "outofUco from con est
ants that came under this rule, but
they did not make a difference In tho
final tesult. Fortunately no letter
came In that was postmarked after S

p. m., and thus all chance for contro
versy was avoided.
Every possible chance of changing
the result, as announced above, 1.4 now
regarded na past. The complete list
of contestants, with their standing, is
published this morning and tan be te
lled upon ns absolutely cotrect.
A Remarkable Contest.
The bet feature of the grand wind
up of the contet't Is the entire ab
,enco of an thing that would pro
voke controversy Theie was no pad
ding of tho returns by ten or twenty
year subscriptions, as many thought
theni might be, but, on the con
trol y, there were but five tubscilp
lions extending beyond a year. Tho
2.R00 points scored yfisterday represent
now subscribers who were not on the
circulation books of The Tribune. As
each point means nt least u month's
subset Iptlon now and a possible re
newnl every month hereafter, the mag
nitude of The Tribune's IMucattonnl
Contest Hnd Its bplcndld success may
bo Imagined.
To Our New Subset ibers.
We trust that our new Mibscrlbera
will bear with us If a few mistakes are
mado in the delivery of their papers- at
the start. It Ih hard for any one not In
tomh with the work to realize the
magnitude of the task before our cir
culation manager. Ho was compelled
to work all of Saturday night and n
good portion of yesterday allotting tho
names to tho various carrleia In the
city nnd suburbs, comprising North
eastern Pennsylvania. It Is hoped in
a few days to have everything running
smoothly anil that thero will ho no
cause for complaint. Receipts will be
sent to each subscriber ns fast as they
can bo made out nnd should be re
ceived within two or threo days. If by
the flrfrt of next week Tho Tribune la
not received regularly nnd In good or
der, of if n receipt for tho money paid
a contestant has not reached you,
kindly notify Tho Tribune nnd no effort
will be spared to correct all errors.
Tho Out-of-town Contestants.
The Tribune- during tho early days of
the contest, repeatedly called attention
to the fact that out-of-town contest
ants had an equal chance with theso
residing in the city of Scranton. There
were several reasons for this belief.
First, In tho smaller places there is a
local prldo In any young person who la
earnestly striving to better his proi
pects In tho battle of life by securing
an advanced education. In the city
this pride must necessarily be divided
among several and does not centre on
any one individual. Then, too, thore it
not tin. competition that Is experienced
In tho city, whero tn many Instance
tho same householder has been called
upon by six or eight different contest
ants. The result of the conteet demon
strates that The Tribune's theory was
founded upin sound argument. Ths
records of Garfield Anderton, cf Car
bondale; Hay Buckingham, of Elm
hurst, and Miss Vlda Pcdrlck, of
Clark's Summit, oro examples of what
was within the reach of many others In
nearby towns who feared to enter Into
competition with Scranton young peo
ple. In fact, tho only contestant !n
the central part of Scranton did not do
as well ns two others, one from the
Providence section and the other from
the Pioneer city.

summnry of the work of the winners Is

Miss Welholmina B. Griffin.
Mls Wilhelmina It. Orifnn. of 307
William street, In tho Providence sec
tion of the city, Is 16 years old. She was
born In Scranton and Is the daughter
of th la to Edward and Mrs. Annie
Grlflln. Her father died when Wil
helmina was but six months old.
"Will." as all hfr friends call her, was
nducatei! at public school No. 25, from
whloh eho graduated In June, 1900. She
entered Uhe High r.chool last Septem
ber and passed the examinations with
credilt this spring for the sophomore
clas?. Her mother has anticipated that
Wilhelmina wouldi come In either first
or second In the contest nnd thereby
win tho scholarship at Swarthmoro col
lege, nnd she has therefore made plans
to send her to the School of the Uicka
wannai to enter upon a preparatory
course.
Miss Orlftln entered the contest on
