The tie for second place in The
Trlbune's Educational Contest remains
unbroken this morning, neither Miss
Wilhelmina Griffin nor Henry Schwen-
ker having scored a single point on
Saturday. The only two contestants
that increased their points were Miss
Norma Meredith and Garfield Ander-
son, but neither scored sufficiently to
advance their positions.
Saturday closed the eleventh week
of the contest, and the table below
shows the smallest number of points
recorded OF any week since it opened.
Meyer Lewis, who is in first place, did
not score single point; neither did
William Miles, who is fourth. Only
eight of the entire list of contestants
brought in points, and the result
shows that the young ladies are doing
the greater part of the work. The
three young ladies secured nearly
three times as many points as all the
young men together, Miss Griffin alone
scoring more than half the number
turned in for the week. The table be-
low shows in detail just what each
contestant did:

This action Is taken to protect the
contestants, who have been working
faithfully for The Tribune, against the
possibility of any speculator enter
ing the contest the last day or two
and purchasing n $1,000 scholarship by
presenting the names of his friends as
new subscribers, paying for them
himself. While nothing of the sort was
attempted last year, the close of the
contest demonstrated that 1t would
have taken much less than $1,000 to
have purchased the first special re-
ward, as the winning contestant had
only secured for The Tribune less than
S4O0 In new subscriptions.
The Tribune desires to protect the
contestants that are working for 1t,
and will use its best endeavors to
have every feature of the contest per-
fcctly fair. The special rewards will
positively so to the contestants who
secure the Target number Of points,
which will be credited only for new
and legitimate subscribers. An ad-
vertisement on the fourth page gives
full particulars.

MALSH'S FATAL JUMP.
He Leaped from Moving Train to
Recover His Boys Hat and Was
Ground Under Wheels,

Anthony Walsh, Of Olyphant, lost
his life near Mountain Park on Satur
day morning by jumping from a NOV
ing passenger train to rescue his boys
hat. which aid blown out of the win
dow.
Walsh and his family were on an ex-
cursion run over the Jersey Central to
the park by ST. Patrick's congregation
of Olyphant. Just as the train had be-
gun to slacken it's speed and was near
ing the park, the hat of one of Walsh's
boys blew out the open window. Walsh
hurriedly arose from his seat and going
out on the rear platform of the car,
jumped from the train.
He got off backwards and in landing
struck some railroad ties which were
lying alongside the track. This caused
him to slip and his body in falling was
sent under the wheels of the train,
where it was horribly crushed and man
gled almost beyond recognition. The
grief of Mrs. Walsh and her large fam
lily of children when they learned of the
accident and viewed the remains was
pathetic in the extreme.
The body was viewed by Coroner Nc
kee, of Luzerne county, who gave per-
mission to have It removed to Oily
phant. The dead man was a miner by
occupation and had lived on Dempsey
street, Olyphant, for a number of years.
He was 45 years old and Is survived by
a wife and nine children.
There were no less than three other
excursionists who were injured by fall
ing from swings at the park. These
were Frank Eprp1SOn of Olyphapt
who sustained a dislocation of the left
elbow; William Reap, of Blakely, who
sustained a fractured wrist, and JOS
eph McHale, of Dunmore, one of whose
fingers were broken.

A Washington correspondent says of
Hon. James r. Dubois, of Hallstead:
"The Hon. James T. Dubois, consul
general of the United States to Swift
zerland. has recently resigned his post
under protest of the state department
and treasury department. Mr.. Dubois
was appointed to Switzerland upon the
personal request of that veteran states
man, Representative Galusha A. Grow,
OF Pennsylvania. The resignation
amounts to n transfer. instead of the
severance of the relations of Mr.. Du-
BCis with the administr~' ~'ion. and he
has accepted position in the state de-
partment known as editor of the laws
of congress, which is not only agree
able to him. but is a position for which
he is especially fitted. Mr. Dubois gave
up his post at ST. Gall for purely per-
sonal reasons, namely. he desires to
educate his two boys in American col
leges for which they are now fitting.
AS consul general to Switzerland Mr..
Dubois has made an enviable record,
and 1t is intimated that in addition to
the position which has been rendered
him in the state department, he will be
called upon for important missions
when tact, ability and thorough Ameri-
Canism are required"

There are still five weeks of the
contest, and the above table shows
what an excellent opportunity there
is for some ambitious young people to
enter and win one of the valuable re-
wards. Think of the possibility of Sc
curing a four-year scholarship, val
ued at $1,000, for the work of five
weeks! Last year, the winner of the
fourth special reward was in the con-
test but three weeks.
Those who wish to enter must do so
before August Is, as positively no en-
