WASHERIES START UP.
Two More We're Put in Operation
Yesterday-output Of the
Galleries.

Two more washeries in the Lacka-
wanan region started up yesterday. One
was the Edgerton washery of the Tenn
pie Coal and Iron company, at Arch
bald. and the other, the National
washery, of the North American Coal
company, at Minooka. Both companies
reported full forces at work, and their
respective plants turning out their full
capacity
Superintendent Hayes, of the Oxford
colliery Of the Peoples Coal company,
stated yesterday that he has one hun
dred and eighty men employed and that
four hundred tons of coal are being
mined and shipped daily. Twelve
more mules were lowered at the Oxford
yesterday afternoon.
At the Cayuga, according to the COM
pany's claims, three hundred tons Of
coal were run through the breaker yes
terday. The company has made no an
nouncement of the number of men en-
ployed, but report has it that it ex-
ceeds one hundred.
Both companies assert that, as far as
ents goes, ninety-five per cent. of the
men working at the two collieries are
eX-strikers. Superintendent Rose says
that all the men working at the Dick
son are old Delaware and Hudson en-
ployes. Two more outside hands re-
ported for work at the Dickson yester-
day.
District President Nichols and Sec
retary Dempsey were at Luzerne yes
terday, addressing strikers mass
meeting. Mr.. Nichols mysterious
disappearance" on Tuesday is explained
by the fact that he was moving his
residence from Chestnut street to South
Main avenue, and took day off to
superintend the work.

BARRING WANTS PAY,
Has Asked Controller to Ignore
Auditing Committees Action in
Refusing Payment.

Detective Herman Barring has been a
visitor at City Controller Costellos
office since the auditing committee re-
fused to approve his bill for profess
sional services, and asked the controller
to set aside the action of the commit
tee. The latter has refused to take any
such action, and tie-up, therefore, ex-
lists in the matter.
Recorder William L. Connell argues
that the claim Is perfectly legitimate
one and should be paid. Said he, yes
terday, to Tribune man: "a special
appropriation Of $1,000 has been made
for claims Of just this nature, and re-
endorsement should be made out of
that sum.
Personally, am not worrying in the
least over the action taken by the aud
iting committee in refusing to sanction
the detective bills, despite my written
approval, which accompanied them.
That committee, in reality, has no
supervision over city accounts.
1T is not necessary for the city solic-
itor to render any further opinion on
the matter, for he filed an opinion last
March, which conclusively established
the committees status, and showed its
powers to be really nil"

Despite the heat Of the past few days,
the contestants in The Tribune's Edu-
catonal Contest have kept steadily at
work. Yesterday fifty points were
scored, the largest number being
brought in by A. j. Kellerman, who in
creased his score in each table by
thirty-three. This gives Mr.. Kellerman
good hold on first place in each case,
and he now has lead which it will be
difficult to overcome.
William 7. S. Rodriguez scored twelve
points, which puts him very close to
fifth place in the main contest, and
raises him from seventh to third among
the August leaders. He has but to re-
tain his position to be sure of one Of
the cameras offered as a special prize
for the best work this month";
Eddie Morris, of South Scranton,
brought in two points and broke the
tie which has existed for some time be-
tween he and the three contestants
above him. This raises him to twenty
eighth place with good prospects for
going higher shortly.

General Public Interested.

The public in general is beginning to
take quite an interest in the various
contestants. Persons occasionally call
at the Office and subscribe for The Tri-
bune, requesting that the points be
credited to certain of the young people
who are striving for the scholarships.
William Sherwood, of Hartford, and
Fred K. Gunster, Of Green Ridge, each
received points in this way yesterday.
This is very encouraging to those who
are working hard for their educational
advancement, and people who are al
ready subscribers to The Tribune could
aid them materially in their endeavors
by suggesting to others that they hand
in their names, together with the
amount covering the number of months
for which they wish to subscribe, and
have the points credited to some young
man or woman in whom they are in
terested.

very extraordinary man from the
world.
Prof. Schenck was, undoubtedly, the
greatest Of embryologists, man head
and shoulders above his generation,
and as such one who was sneered at by
his mediocre brother professionals,
and. instead of being classed as .sa-
want, jeered at as a charlatan.
Doubtless the neglect he received at
the hand of his brother professionals
led to the early death of the eminent
professor. Eminent call him advis-
edly, for those who knew him intimate
ly were ready to accord to him a
standard of genius practically equal
to that of Darwin.
Naturally the extent of his re-
searches and practice were little pub
lished for the subject with which he
dealt was one which was scarcely suit
able for anything but professional dis
cussion.
There is little doubt, however, that
his private papers will reveal mass
of facts which will ultimately lead to
a proper recognition of his genius.
His one failure to produce results in
the case of the czarina of Russia was
not by any means ground for the at
titude taken by the profession in re-
gard to his discovery, for his treat
ment was effectual in the cases of the
Countess of Warwick, the Archduchess
Isabella Of Austria and the Duchess
Of Aosta. These were mere eonspicu-
Gus instances of the successfufS appli-
cation of Prof. Schencks theory, but
he had host Of private patients who,
it is we'll known, benefited by his treat
ment. I could, were it polite, cite
within the range Of my own personal
acquaintance cases which would, go
far to strengthen the general belief in
the professors theory.
His Discoveries Authenticated.
1t does not need my weak voice to
render unto the one who is dead what
was his legitimate due, for his discov-
cries were authenticated time and time
again by members of the London OBJ
stetrical society, who, in various pa
pers delivered at their meetings, went
into the question very fully and SCI
entifically and cited case after case
proving the validity of Prof. Schenck' S
assertions. Of course there were in
stances in which the results sought for
could not be obtained, but they were
due to subsidiary reasons easily ex-
plicable to scientist, but which the
ordinary person with but a brief
knowledge of anatomy could not be
expected to understand. I have copies
of some Of these papers which would
make interesting reading were they
printable outside Of professional pa
pers. They illustrate in the most ex-
act manner, from the observations of
private physicians, how the causation
of sex can in the main be determined
and I doubt not that these experiments
have had great deal to do in limited
ways. in certain spheres, with regulat-
ing the sex of the eldest born in some
very good families throughout Europe
The gist Of Prof. Schenck's theory
is that the determination of sex de-

Special Correspondence.
WILMINGTON, Del, Aug. 27.-That
women should be bOnneted in church
is the belief of Bishop Leighton Cole
man, of the Protestant Episcopal do
cese of Delaware. and the remarks
which he recently made during SER
mon interrupted by the entrance of
heads attracted a great deal of atten-
ton.
1t was at the summer resort of Re-
hoboth that the bishop delivered his re-
Duke, which was the more sensational
because he changed his subject upon
the entrance of the women and directed
his remarks almost directly to them
"Such a practice of entering a church
is unscriptural and ungodly," he said.

divine service without their coats"

ers.
Every summer for the past forty-five
years the bishop has DOTTED his clerical
garments, donned the rough clothes OF
the tramp and has started out on two
weeks walking tour through some Of
the eastern United States.
On these trips the stalwart bishop
goes absolutely incognito. To be rec
ognized and respected for his high po-
Sition in the church would rob his va
cation of all it's pleasure.

: ers-Social Summary.

The Saltwater police have for sew
eral days been looking for an alleged
confidence man who tried to work an
old trick on one of the conductors on
the Minneapolis, st. Paul & Suburban
line between this city and st. Paul. The
stranger gave the conductor a card,
which showed his name to be Harry
Nair, of Beaver Dam, Pa. Soon after
the car left st. Paul stranger board
ed it and presented a $40 bill for his
fare. The conductor changed it and
the man seated himself in the rear end
of the car. A little later a woman
boarded the car and had a $40 bill,
which she asked the conductor to
change. The conductor replied that he
had just changed a $40 bill and that
he couldn't change her $40. Nair asked
permission to see the bill, adding that
about $4,000 worth of bogus twenties
were in circulation throughout the
Northwest and that he had been en-
ployed by the government to locate the
counterfeiters if possible. The con-
ductor handed him the bill and Nair
pronounced it counterfeit. He said
he was anxious to get it, and while he
didn't have that much cash in his pock-
on the State Bank at st. Paul, adding
that he was well known in st. Paul
and that the check would be honored
anywhere. Nair's accomplice, who had
given the conductor the twenty, had
alighted from the car and the conduc-
tor was about to accept Nair's propo-
sition, when another passenger told
him to be little bit careful about &C
cepting checks from strangers. Nair,
however, insisted, but the conductor re-
fused to part with the bill, and when
the car reached Saltwater Nair disap-
peared. The matter was not reported
to the police until couple of days later
and by that time Nair had disappeared.

OPEN AIR CONCERT
SEASON ENDS TODAY
People of ST. Paul Patronize Summer
Entertainments in Large
Numbers.

Today the last concert of the season
will be given at Wildwood. There is
nothing scheduled for Como park and
the season is over as far as st. Paul
parks are concerned. 1t is not likely that
there will be any more open air en-
tertainments until next summer.
The last dancing programme was
given at Wildwood last night and in
spite of the rather chilly weather there
was a large attendance. Wolfe & Bar
rett will furnish the music for the con-
certs this afternoon and evening at the
White Bear resort.
The concerts at Wildwood and Como
have been unusually we'll attended this
summer, although the weather has not
been all that could be desired. The
popularity Of the outdoor concerts
seems to be growing every year in St.
Paul and in few years the season
will no doubt be extended and the
programme more elaborate.
