Tribute to the Late John Jermyn.

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t is with sorrow that l learn of
the death of John Jermyn. of this city.
At his passing there comes vividly to
mind my earliest experiences of this, my
land by adoption TO meeting him in
London, through member of parlia
ment, I attribute my presence in this
favored land today. Recalling his unpre-
tentious life, I desire to speak of him
now in the silence of death in language
becoming and characteristic of his life
On arriving III an adjoining state l
wrote him a letter. which was responded
to- the reply containing lines in part to
this effect: 'If you ever come this way,
call and visit u.s." | acted upon these
suggestive lines and came on to his home
at Jermyn. where l was a guest in his
family, during which time | was offered
Il position in his store, which l cheer
fully accepted. Being but a few weeks
here, was at that time unsettled in
mind as to my future, hence my former
reference to him in your columns of a
few weeks since as my benefactor. His
justify no less an appellation. During
my stay with him. he always evidenced
sincere interest in my welfare.
My coming here was made pleasant at
the start. and through this my early
experiences in the country are inspiring
and pleasant recOllectiOns. AS an illus
tration of his sincerity. he on more
than one occasion expressed a desire to
have me enter and make a study OF the
mines with view to literary results. be-
lieving such an innovation woud be
popular and lucrative.
The writer recalls with pleasure his
noble references to the land of his birth,
no less than his appreciation of this, the
country of his adoption. lie took great
pride In citizenship OF this grand repub-
lie. My personal impression of him was
that he was man easy to approach, en-
joyng friendly chat with any of his
employees. especially those of practical
turn of mind He was a self-made man,
of good heart and judgment, of keen
perception and we'll balanced mind. lie
was in sympathy with those from the
land of his birth and had an open heart
for all. Unmoved by the glamour of
wealth or its attendant onsequences, he
retained his early and customary natural
courtesy to all. These lines are written
in sympathy for the life now gone out.
BY former employe,
Frederick IIartnoll.

TO BET $500 on
THE SCRANTON TEAM
Manager Lawson Will Risk That
Amount on the Series of
Games with Lancaster.

Manager Lawson. Of the Scranton
base ball team, when in Lancaster ear
ly in the week offered to bet Manager
Carman, of the Lancaster club, $500
that Scranton would win the series of
six games arranged for the two clubs.
Manager Carman said he'd think the
matter over. Last night Manager Law
son received telegram from Manager
Carman announcing that a syndicate
of Lancaster sports have agreed to
take up his offer. and that one OF them
will be here in town today to cover his
money. If the money is put up by both
sides this should greatly add to the
interest in the games and encourage
the players to play as snappy ball as
they are capable of.
The first three games Of the series
will be played in this city. Scranton
will play the Lancaster club this morn
ing at 1915 and this afternoon at
o'clock. McGeary and Rainey will be
the morning battery and either Wi!tse
or Newberry will pitch in the after
noon with Steinberg behind the bat.
The last three games will be played
in Lancaster on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday,. If it becomes necessary
to play Il seventh game the place for
playing it will be decided by the toss
of coin.
There is possibility that Scranton
may get into either the New York
State or Eastern league Manager
Lawson has written to Presidents Far
rell and Powers respectively asking to
be given chance to put his team in
when the first vacancy occurs.
The Ilion team in the New York
state league is understood to be in
shaky condition and it is also UNDER
stood that base ball isn't paying in
Jersey City. which is in the Eastern
league. Both these leagues are fast
especially the latter, and there is no
question but they will last out the
whole season.

a. ]. Kellerman made another good
return in The Tribune's Educational
Contest yesterday. and has now. passed
the second century. Charles Burns and
William Rodriguez also increased their
points. and it will be interesting to
watch the leaders during the next two
days, as each is anxious to secure the
gold watch offered for the largest num-
ber of points secured during the
month. OF course only one can win, but
those who fail will have good start
in the main contest and will be just so
much nearer spxial reward of great
value.
In order that the rules may be per-
fectly fair to all contestants. both in
Scranton and those who reside in other
towns, there will be a slight change
in the usual custom Of crediting points
at the close Of the last day of the
month. The hour for closing will be
o'clock. just the same as usual. but
contestants out of town will be credited
with all points mailed before o'clock.
instead of crediting only those which
are received at The Tribune Office be-
fore o'clock. The postmarll will de-
termine whether the letter was mailed
should ascertain from their postmaster
just how early in the afternoon it will
be necessary TO mail letter in order
to have it postmarked 5 p. m. or earlier.
The special honor prize for the month
of June will be announced on Monday
morning in the same issue that the
winner of the gold watch will be an
nounced. What this will be has not yet
been determined. but it will be well
worth working for and fully equal in
value to the one offered for May.
There was only one change in the
standing OF contestants yesterday. l..
T.. Stanton, who has been climbing
steadily up the list. Went up another
place and this morning appears in
eleventh position.
There We're several entries yesterday
and it is expected that more will follow
so as to be ready to commence active
work with the opening of the new
month. A full explanation of the con-
test appears on the fourth page.
