The list of graduates successfully
filling important and good paying sit

publication here, but it emphatically
indorses the claim of the proprletors
of the soundness and substantial mer-
its of their institution. In selecting the
special rewards for the Educational
Contest The Tribune was led by the
logic of this proof of excellence and
decided to secure two scholarships In
this excellent commercial school, and
those who are fortunate enough to Sc
cure those scholarships will receive re-
wards of far greater value than the
price placed upon them. One of the
certificates given each student upon
paying the stipulated fee for the full
courses, suitably framed, is one<exhi-

Description of the College.
The Scranton Business College is one
of the foremost OF Scranton's educa-
tional institutions. It's handsome build
ing at the corner of Linden street and
Adams avenue is one of the landmarks
of the city, and it's central location,
opposite the court house, makes it un-
surpassed for convenience of access
both for Its large body of students and
for the many visitors who come to the
Electric City and make this school one
of their objective points while seeing
the sights The permanent home of
this commercial school is a handsome
edifice of gray stone, four stories high,
with large and commodious floors. well
lighted with large windows, and being
situated on a corner receives light on
two sides, the effect of which is en-
hanced by the open park in front sur
rounding the court house, making it a
cool and airy location in summer, the
ventilation being arranged in accord
ance with the most modern methods
and after the specific plans OF the pro-
prietors, Messrs. Buck g. Whitmore
This corner is one of the coolest spots
ia Scranton during the tOrrid season,
and in winter the floors devoted to the
use of the school are heated effectively
and scientifically, thus conducting to
comfort and ability to study either in
the dog days" or when the winter
blasts are bowling around the corners.
When Established.
In 1894 Messrs. Buck & Whitmore es-
tablished the Scranton Business Col
lege. Two floors were added TO the
building at the corner OF Adams ave-
nue. and Linden street for the express
use of this college, and every effort
was made to make the building per-
fectly adapted to the needs of a modern
commercial school. This result has
been attained In an eminently satifaC-
tory degree. Not only are the floors

Third Largest in the State.


Third Largest in the State.
According to the report of the Sup
erintendent of Public instruction the
Scranton Business College is the third
largest commercial school in the State
of Pennsylvania. There are 500 stu
dents in actual attendance, this num-
Der being nearly equally divided
among young men and women the
male sex predominating slightly at
present. AS an evidence of the high
reputation the college enjoys, it is
only necessary to state the fact that
the demand for its graduates from
business houses in this and other
cities is greater than the supply. It's
graduates are employed in the very
best business houses in confidential
and responsible positions and large
number of them are in receipt Of very
good salaries. The Tribune can test
ify cheerfully to the thoroughness
of the training of the graduates of
this college, having several of them
in It's employ at the present time.
The methods of instruction employed
are equal the best of the business coll
leges in thfs country and are con-
stantly improving, always keeping
pace with the expanding business de-
mands of the commercial world.
Good Positions Easily Secured.
This college is highly recommended
by the most prominent business and
professional men, including educa-
tional leaders as well as those in
other walks of life. The opportunities
offered to its students commercially are
great, and so eager is the demand for
them that a great number are offered
positions by business houses before
they graduate. Hundreds secure posi-
tions from here either directly or in
directly. Messrs. Buck and Whitmore
take great pride in those who have
passed under their tuition and keep
their interest in them alive long after
they have received their diplomas or
have entered into active employment,
striving to help them into better and
more lucrative positions and following
them up with kindly zeal, knowing
that worthy pupil cannot receive too
much encouragement, and will apprc-
ciate all that can be done to make
his way smooth. They have secured
a number of positions for individual
students, each better than the last, and
their interest in a graduate survives
long after the student has left their
college. Students have secured posi-
tions through the propIietors, not only

LEGISLATIVE CONTEST FILED.
Landram and Flowers Contest Wit h
Conner and Baggs for the
Coveted Seats.

Last Saturday evening papers were
filed with Clerk Shappee contesting
the election Of Messrs. Baggs and
Conner, the republican representa-
and who have received
their certificates, by Messrs. Landram
and Flowers, the fusion candidates for
the legislature in the election. The off
cial count showed that Baggs had re-
ceived 731 votes, Conner 6S3, Landram
$50, Flowers 64S, while Hatch, inde-
pendent democrat, received 45o, and
See, independent democrat, 476.
The grounds of the contest, as they
appear in the papers filed, are several.
One is is that there was illegal regis.
tration in some districts; another that
coercion was used in several precincts,
notably in Hamilton south, in which
the main independent strength was
polled; another is that by reason of
the independent county ticket having
been placed in the regular democratic
Column by the supreme court many
were fooled by workers at the polls in
to believing that the democratic column
contained Landram and Flowers
names and SO voted for Hatch and
See instead of Landram and Flowers
as they INTENDED, by placing cross in
the democratic circle instead of voting
the fusion ticket on which Landram
and Flowers were.
r. Lee McCulloch appears as attor.
ney of record. Dispositions of wit
nesses will be taken in this city on the
29th inst before Justices Morris and
Hughes. The contests will be decided
by the legislature which has strong
fusion ma aiority.
