The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-09-03

The Tribune publish from day to day
the number of points of the various
leaders, as well as their positions, and
today The Tribune accedes to their
wishes insofar as printing the names,
positions and points of the young men
and women who fill the ten highest
positions. Those who are below the
rank of tenth will be mentioned daily,
but their points will not be made pub
lie until they are able to make their
way higher and displace those in the
lower positions in the roll of honor.
This publicity, The Tribune feels sure,
will stimulate more active competi-
tion, as the various leaders can see
just how many points separate them
from those above or below them.
A STUDY OF THE TABLE.
AS will be seen by a study of the
table above, the leader of the contest
this morning is Charles Rodriguez,
who has thus far registered 1913 points.
He has been in the lead ever since the
contest opened Although he is en-
ployed in an office during the day, he
keeps himself busy after working
hours in an active daily canvass, and
1t is solely owing to his interchangeable,
tireless efforts that he is so far in the
van today. David V. Birtley, who is
in second place, with 113 points, is also
engaged In business, yet he has found
time during his leisure hours to make
an effort to advance his interests. OIL
yer Callahan, who is in third place,
with 81 points, is still another young
man whose hours are limited by being
employed. Thus it will be seen that
II is the boys who are in business life
who seem most to appreciate the bene-
fits that this contest will bestow. Da-

POINTS SCORED BY
LEADING CONTESTANTS

vid c. Spencer, of Bloomsbury, whose
5S points entitle him to fourth place,
probably lives further away from
Scranton than any OF the other con-
testants, and seems to be able to in
terest the residents of his section in
The Tribune even though he is far
removed from the place where It is
printed. The fifth place in the contest
is the one that witnesses the most
incessant change, having had a new
name in it nearly every day during
the past week. This morning Eugene
Boland, of 235 Walnut street, Dun
more, holds 1t, with Al points, leading
Harry Reese by four. The distance
between Harry Reese in sixth place
and Sidney w. Hayes, In tenth, is but
Is points, so 1t Is quite probable there
will be daily changes in this position
of the table.
CHANGES IN TODAY'S STANDING.
The changes this morning in the
standing show Eugene Boland in fifth
place instead of seventh, as on Satur-
day, he having passed both Harry
Reese and Miss Fannie Williams, who
each drop down one position in conse-
quence. Miss Grace Simrell is in ninth
place, instead of tenth, having taken
the former position away from Sidney
w. Hayes and leading him this morn
ing by six points.

as the shooting season had just COM

"On the morning the bishop left he
was driven to the station with a young
man who was also taking his depart
ure from the hospitable mansion.
Bishop Beckwith ensconced himself
comfortably In a first-class carriage
and waited for the train to start.
Leaning back in his seat, he became
aware of loud and angry talking just
outside his window. and looking out
saw his young companion standing
with a hand on the carriage door,
while he used strong language to the
porter, who. 1t seemed, had mislaid a
gun case and 1t could not be found.
The young gentleman was angry and
expressed himself in unparliamentary
language. Just then the sign was
given, and, opening the door, the young
man jumped into the carriage and
seated himself In front of the bishop.
He was shocked to find himself con-
fronted by his reverend companion,
who he had supposed was somewhere
else on the train. He at once apollo
gized for the language he had used.
"I really beg your lordship's par
don,' he said, but l am a plain sort of
a fellow and call a spade a spade

THE only time I ever heard a con-
gregation laugh unrestrainedly during
the regular services in a cathedral
was back in the sos when | was a
resident of dear dirty Dublin. on
one Sunday morning the Bishop of
Cork preached. He was a splendid
man, an Irishman to the backbone
and possessed Of as fine brogue as
| ever distinguished a son of Erin. His
| congregation was made up of the very
essence of fashion in Dublin, which, in
those days, was one of the greatest
social centers of the world. Motor
iously, people were living beyond their
means, for the income from the landed
estates of Ireland had taken a big
tumble. But that made no difference,
and good dressing went as a matter of
course, and was one of the smallest
of the eXtravagances. The bishop
preached on the subject of extrava-
gance and spoke particularly of over
dressing. His sermon was a bitted
| arraignment of the sin Of debt and the
wickedness of setting the heart on
! fashion and dress. He attacked the
overdressed woman, and wound up
this particular reference this way:
Now supposing every one of ye-
every one, man and woman, should
stand up in this church, take off the

"An Irishman of the full blood can
not resist an opportunity for repartee,
no matter how solemn the occasion or
what his surroundings" said an Eng
lish clergyman, a visitor in Washing
ton, the other day, when the CONVEX
satiOn turned on the funny expert

that creeps into matters connected
with the church.

A PLEASANT FAMILY REUNION.
Descendants of Wilbur Gardner Meet
to Exchange "reminiscences and
Renew Acquaintances.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Factoryville, Pa, Sept. 2.-What
proved to be one of the pleasantest
annual reunions that takes place in
this locality is the Gardner family re-
union, the descendants of William
Gardner, who settled in this country
near Waverly, Pa, in 1917. This good
natured and generous crowd of Gard
ners assemble annually in a grove on
the farm of A. j. Gardner, located
near the tunnel, and last Friday, Aug.
81, one hundred and thirty relatives of
Uncle Wilbur hied themselves to the
above mentioned spot, bent on spend
ing a day only such as can be spent
at a good old-fashioned family re-
union. The day was all that could be
wished for an occasion of this kind,
the grove one of the finest in this sec
tion, and a beautiful spring of fine
water bubbling from it's midst, all go
to make up one of natures beauty
spots for n family picnic. Upon ar
rival everybody lent a helping hand to
make each other happy and soon long
tables were spread with such an abund-
ance of delicious viands that the pangs
of hunger soon began to get in their
work. One hundred and six sat down
to the first table. A notable and re-
markable fact that it might be we'll to
mention right here Is that there are
no dyspeptics in the Gardner family,
as evidence of the table after the re-
past was finished. Secretary Charles
Gardner, after being removed from the
table by the united efforts of two
strong men, announced that in the
afternoon the programme would be
carried out. 1t was as follows: Reel
tation, "Grandmother's Beau" Miss
Maud Gardner; recitation, THE Old
Mans Trip to Town" Miss Genevieve
Ehrgood; exercise recitation, Miss Bes-
sic Broadbent; song, Misses Vida and
Genevieve Gardner; letter. Mr.. Rueben
Gardner; recitation, "Bridget's Gone
to the City" Miss Vida Gardner; reci-
tation, "Why Sammy Left the Farm"
Miss Bethel Broadbent; "Uncle Will
liam's Story" Mrs. Dorcas A. Van
Sickle; remarks, A. w. Gardner, Will
bur Gardner, Charles Gardner.
business meeting was held dur
ing the day and new officers for the
ensuing year were elected. Mr.. Will
bur Gardner, a namesake of the man
in honor of whom the reunion was
held, was the oldest relative present,
his age being rs years. The oldest de-
scendant present was Mr.. George A.
Carr, his age being 81 years.
A general visitation and renewal of
acquaintance made up the balance of
the day and as the shades of night
reminded us that the time to part
had arrived the good told hymn, God
BE with You" was sung by a general
chorus, after which general good bye
was said, and as each one left it was
universally acknowledged that the re-
unions were growing more successful
each year, and that this was the best
one yet. With the assistance of the
Supreme Being, it is hoped that each
one of us may be permitted to meet
again at .he same place in August,

GOOD PROSPECT FOR BEGINNERS
There is still almost a month re-
naming before the contest closes to-
day beginning the fourth week from
the last. Those who are hesitating
about entering are urged to study the
table carefully and ascertain from 1t
that their chances OF securing enough
points to obtain one of the special
rewards are still very bright. No con-
testant is so far ahead that he or she
cannot be overtaken, and the month
of September is a very short space of
time in which to labor for the large
remuneration offered in any one of
these special rewards. Any one enter
ing now and working with a will can
speedily catch up with some of those
whose names are printed above and
even If they should not succeed in
getting one of the first rewards, still
there is not one of the whole ten that
would not more than pay for the effort
and time expended Full particulars
I of the contest as well as a description
of the ten special rewards, can be read
