'Two of Tribune's Successful Contest
nnts from This City Maxwell
Shepherd, in n Garrison Finish,
'Tnkes Second Plnce nnd Herbert
Thompson Is Fifth.
For the second time In an educa
tional tun test conducted by The
Tribune, CarboiidHle bus won laurels)
that are worthy ol' being exploited
with nil exulting spurt.
In the content of hint year, Garfield
Anilemui, a hustling young ii'iun in"
.this city, directed the attention ol' the
residents in the wide Held covered by
The Tribune to the kind of energy and
go that are stoic In youths of the
Anthracite City, by Inking second place
in the educational eon test, Thl-i year,
public Interest Is ag.iin I'ocussed on
Cnrhoiiilnle sons, and to a greater ex.
tent, bj the achievements of two of
her energetic young men. Maxwell
'Shepherd, of Salem avenue, who made
a glorious llnlsh. and came out second,
ami Herbert Tluiiiipiui, of Ulrkett
street, who Mulshed in llftli place, a few
notehes higher than the position which
his earnest, pei-sl.nenl, plodding main
tained for ti tm throughout this keen
rivalry anions; the young folks of am
bition and high purposes liereahouts.
The news of -Messrs. Shepherd and
Thompson achievements will be Joy
ful tidings to the host of persons whom
they interested In their behalf, while
ihcir work will be applauded by every
one who admires a lad of ambition,
pluck and perseverance. The qualities
displayed by tiles" two young Cnrbon
dalians arc classed as a kind of hero
Ism, and they will be met with a
lively spirit of home pride throughout
the city.
Both :ouug men fought a gallant
light. For five months they worked
under the most disimirnglng circum
stances. The great. coal strike, with Its
depressing tendencies, caused almost
everybody to hesitate to make even the
smallest investment, lest pinching
times would follow later. In the fai e
of tills lack of confidence, one can ap
preciate the discouragements that be
set the paths of the two workers. Their
determination and stick-to-it-lveness
sustained their course, and Satuiday
'light came the reward for which they
fought so nobly.
"Mr. Shepherd's finish was truly of
the Cnrrison sort. A mouth iiro be
claimed only SOU points, but his aim
vas at the topmost plnce, which he
nlssed by only 22 points. Since the
latter part of August, lie has been at
work nt his duties In Superintendent
uf Motive Power Kinney's ofllce. In the
'bitario and Western nfllcvs at May-
leld yard. Despite this handicap, how
iver, be worked like a Trojan, partieu-
arly the past two weeks. In this time
ie hustled every spare minute after
tilllce hours, ot ten until long after
nightfall. The burden of his work can
bo appreciated In the I'nct that during
the month of October he turned in
ri-nrly mill points. Shepherd's great
finish was the surprise of the close of
thn contest.
Thompson winked steadily from the
start, like the patient, persistent plod
der that he is. and shares, In largo
measure, the fruits of victory. There
will he rejoicing among his friends
over Hie circumstance that his persist
ence made those close to him go back
ii bit and shoved him Into fifth place
at the llnlsh.
These mmi young men can he justly
proud of iliir victories, am! they wlil

CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.
Runaway on Lincoln Avenue Hill,
in Which a Woman Was Injured.
Engine Backs Into Pit Other
Happening's.
In it runaway down Lincoln avenue
hill, Saturday forenoon. Mrs. Frank
Wayman, of the Kast Side, sustained a
fracture of the arm and numerous'
painful contusions nnd severe shock.
She was in a rig rented from K, J.
Burns' livery. Her daughter and Kd
w.ird Travis were with her. They were
on their wuy to Clifford. Travis was
driving. The horse began to rear be
fore the Delaware and Hudson railroad
crossing, over Lincoln avenue, was
reached and continued to act wildly all
the way down the hill.- Into the alley
between Salem and Lincoln avenue,
leading to Burns' livery, the horse
turned. He was running at a wild pace
and collided with a stone In rront of A.
W. Iteynolds & Son's barn. The force
of the collision threw Mrs. Wayman
and Travis out of the carriage. The
former is unite heavy and was the less
able to help herself. Miss "Wayman
clung to the carriage and was preserved
from injury, beyond the fright of the
experience. The horse continued, "turn
ing into tlie stable and stumbling when
he reached his stall.
Ur. W. H. Dixon and Dr. F. J. Wag
ner, who were nearby, attended to Mrs.
Wayman. Her injuries, though not
dangerous, are painful and will Iip
somewhat slow in healing.
There was an interesting sequel to the
happening. Mr. Hums g-ave Travis a
carriage In which to convey Mrs. Way
man to her home. In the meantime, lie
was informed that Travis was a hard
driver and was in n measure respon
sible for the runaway. He decided,
therefore, not to allow him to drive to
Clifford. Some moments later Mr. Burns
was apprised o Travis driving up
Falibrook street, in the direction of
cliiford, at a furious pace. Hastening
bis horse Into a lively sprint, he sought
to overtake Travis, whom he could see
urging the" horse up the hill at Corrl
gan's Farmer's Itest." Travis had too
much of a lead and was forcing his
horse too much to permit of being over
taken. Travis came back In the evening.
Though Mr. Burns was Indignant at
him, be took no action against Travis,
feeling relieved that the outfit was re
turned without loss or damage.
The team attached to the route
wagon of John Fdwards, the Salem
avenue meat dealer, gave the driver an
exciting time for n few moments Satur
day. The wagon was being- driven
through the alley, between Maple ave
nue nnd Hirkett terrace, when a col
lision took place with a wagon that
was along- the driveway. The meat
wagon wns toppled and stood In the air
for a few minutes, leaving the driver,
who was held Inside by closed doors, In
lunger of being shaken up nnd Injured.
Passersby hastened to right the wagon,
while the driver managed to plueklly
control, the filghtened horses, who are
full ot life and activity even under nor
imi 1 conditions,
Kngine No, Kill was standing on a
siding in the Ontario and AVestern yard
at Maylield, on Saturday afternoon,
when several cabooses came down the
track and bumped Into It. There was
considerable niumentuiu'to the cabooses
and the engine was pushed along until
the tender was shoved off Into the pit
of the turntable. It required the efforts
of the wreck crew for two hours to
reinstate the locomotive. Luckily no
one was placed In harm's way by the
mishap,
All incident to a Delaware and Hud
son employe, Thursday evening, calls
attention anew to the grave necessity
uf having the Delaware and Hudson
yard Illuminated by ate lights.
James May, who has been in the com
pany's employ for years, was walking
through the yard after leaving his
duties, which are to look after the com
pany's tool car. The torch he carried
went out and In groping In the dark he
stepped off the hank of the small
stream which has worn Its way through
the yard at different times during the
year.- Ills fall on the stony bed of the
creek was so severe that the Injuries
he received necessitated his being con
veyed to his homo In a wagon, For
tunately enough, ho escaped dangerous
Injury.
As suggested before, this happening
emphasizes the necessity of electrical
Illumination to assure the safely of
woikmen. The danger from moving
trains Is greater, hut by a series of arc
lights employes would bo safeguarded.
Owing to the abundance of culm in and
about the yard, an Inky darkness pre
vails. It would appear that the con
sideration of the officials with respect
to generously lighting the yard Is de
manded by this latest accident, The ex
perience In other cities, where railroads
am lighted by electricity, shows that
the number of accidents has been ap
preciably reduced, The Lackawanna
yard at Scranton Is nn example of a
fully illuminated danger spot,

Patients Dangerously 111.

Recorder of Coal Strike Arbitration
Committee Lectured Here,
In the press dispatches of Saturday
wns the following, In connection with
the personnel ot the arbitration com
mittee of the coal strike:
"The two assistant recorders ap
pointed by President Roosevelt are Kd
ward A, Mosely, secretary ot the Inter
state commerce , commission, and
Charles P. Nelll, vice president of the
board of charities of the District of
Columbia, He Is also professor of po
litical economy In the Catholic univer
sity." Mr, Nelll Is known personally by
quite a few f.'arbondnllans, nnd he has
been heard In a lecture by several hun
dred of our residents. The occasion
wns during the Knights of Columbus
lecture course last winter, when Profes
sor Nelll appeared In St. Rose hall nnd
delivered a lecture on the labor ques
tion prepared by Rev. Dr. Klrby, pro
fessor of sociology nt the Catholic uni
versity In Washington. Dr. Klrby's
presence was prevented by the sudden
death of his mother.
Those who met and conversed with
Mr. Nelll were Impressed with his fit
ness for the position he held as pro
fessor of economics in the noted uni
versity. It will be of Interest to mention that
Professor Nelll first familiarized him
self with the situation that the com
mission of which he is an nslsstant re
corder will deal with, on his visit to
Cnrbondale. He had hardly alighted
from the train when he expressed the
wish to enter and explore, as far as
possible, a coal mine. He was ac
commodated, being conducted to the
Erie mine nt Mayfleld by the reception
committee of the Knights of Columbus
and a couple of newspaper men. He
donned a miner's coat and cap to pro
tect his clothing, and made a profitable
visit of a couple of hours. He plied
question to the mine foreman and
others of his escort, In Minister Wu
fashion, and wns in possession of al
most all the information of the mine
men, and sought some of which they
knew naught. He was Immensely
pleased and regarded what he learned
as of invaluable aid to him In his In
vestigation and studies.
DON'T DELAY,
It is "Putting Off" Till Some
Other Day that Causes so
Many Suqlden Deaths.
If Its for tho kidneys, Uvcr, bladder or
blood, rheumatism, dyspepsia, chronic
constipation, or tho weaknesses peculiar
to women, the most efficient mcdiclno
known to the medical profession Is Dr.
David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, and
a very simple way to find out If you need
it, Is to put somo urine In a glass tumbler
and let it stand 24 hours; if It has a sedi
ment or a milky, cloudy appearance, if It
is ropy or stringy, pale or discolored, you
do not need a physlclnn to tell you that
your kidneys and bladder are badly
affected,
The Rev. Theodore Hunter, pastor of
the Presbyterian Church, Greensburg,
Ky., writes us the following:
"It gives me much pleasure to stato
that I have received great .benefit
from tho uso of Dr. David Kennedy's
Favorite Remedy. Some time ago I
had asevero nttack of kidney trouble,
but a few bottles of ' Favorite Remedy'
have entirely removed the malady."
"Favorite Remedy" speedily cures
such dangerous symptoms as pnin in tho

Mr. Williams n Successful Choir
Master A Sunday School Orches
tra. The congregations at tho Berean
Raptlst church yesterday were de
lighted with the notable progress of
the church choir, under the direction
of Mr. Hugh Williams. The morn
ing anthem, "One Sweetly Solemn
Thought," In which Mr. Williams took
the solo, was finely rendered, while the
evening anthem, "Jesus My Savior,"
with Miss Orace Stone as soloist, great
ly pleased the congregation. There

FUNERAL OF MR. SMITH.
SATURDAY NIGHT'S BLAZE.
Prompt Interference Checks Fire in
Cotler's Plumbing Shop.
A quantity of oakum, Ignited by the
spark of a. candle, produced nuite a
scare In the plumbing shop of J. B.
Cotler on Salem avenue, early Satur
day evening, and so alarmed Mr. Cotler
that he hurriedly turned in nn alarm
from box 21, Main street and Salem
avenue. Prompt action on the part
of two of Cotler's neighbors quenched
the fire and put an end to the scare
before the arrival of the hose com
panies. Mr. Cotler went to the upper lloor
in quest of some article, carrying a
lighted candle. A spark must have
dropped nnd kindled the oakum, for
when .Mr. Cotler turned to leave he dis
covered the material ablaze. Realizing
that llamable stuff like oakum Is a
dangerous factor in a lire, he hastened
to summon the hose companies. In
the meantime, Ulysses Wonacott and
Joseph Powderly hastened from the
laundry a few doors away and with a
blanket and a few buckets of water
put the lively blaze out of business.
The damage was trifling.
A Delightful Event.
The entertainment of the Xew Liter

day evening was a delightful event, the
guests being most hospitably cared for
by their hostess and deriving a good

In All the New Colors
Take a dark blue or pale castor colored cor
duroy, make it up with a seven-gored flaring
skirt and a blouse or Norfolk jacket perhaps
with plain velvet collar and cuffs and you will
have one of the prettiest possible walking suits
for this winter.
Since velvet and velveteen, came into favor
with such a jump everything related to them
is growing popular, too.
Uecause we've said blue or castor don't think
those arc the only colors to choose from
there's everything from black to white; from
pale blue and pink to deep moss green.
Women who aren't buying them for suits are
getting them for shirtwaists.

Women are beginning to ask'.
Our opinion :

It isn't given off hand we have been con

of the world.

Everyday waists arc just as preHy as "best"

If the consumptive could

it would be some encourage

gives tired nature a breathing
spell. The nourishment and
strength obtained from Scott's
