sPELLMAN HAS RESIGNED.
Special Officer at D. & II. Station fo,
Many Years.

Patrick +. Spellman, the most famil-
lar figure around the Delaware and
Hudson passenger station during the
past eight years. was not on duty yes
terday, and inquiry led to the infor-
nation that he has resigned.
The cause given for the resignation is
that the recent change in the time of
arrival and departure of trains required
too long service each day, compelling
the officer to be on duty from early
morning until late at night. Mr.. Spell
man has been a very efficient and care
full official, and he will be missed by the
general travelling public.
He filled the position for many years
and was conceded to possess unusual
ability in the way of handling large
crowds. During the rush hours and on
holidays, when the station was crowded
with passengers, Mr.. Spellman saw that
people entered and left without causing
confusion, and that those who wanted
to so to the trains were placed on the
right one. His unfailng courtesy and
Willingness to be of service to those
who had occasion to visit the station,
Won for him an army Of friends
The vacancy has been temporarily
filled by the appointment of George
Shoemaker who has been assistant
baggagemaster in the employ of the
company.

SIX MORE LISTS.
How Ties Are to Be Decided in
the Junior Educational Contest.
A Question Answered.

Six more lists of words have been re-
ceived in The Trbune's Junior Educa-
tional Contest, from the following young
people:
Fannie b. Gourly, Olyphant, Pa.
Ruth Firor, OIL Monroe avenue.
Madeline Walker, 124 Washington av-
enue, Carbondale.
Frazier w. Lathrop, 14S Park street
Carbondale.
Frank l.. Farber, 1896 Taylor avenue.
Winifred Forsyth, Hartford, Pa.
One of the prospective contestants
has asked the following question:
South Canaan, Pa, Nov. 10.
Contest Editor Scranton Tribune:
Dear Sir-Would you kindly explain
this? The Tribune says, DO not use
letters any more times than they ap-
pear in The Home Paper Does this
mean in Just one word or in the whole
list of words?
Answer-This means the whole list of
words. There are three e's in the
phrase, two p's, one t, two his and so
on, so you can use any word that con-
forms to the rule and use the same
letter as many times as possible in as
many separate words as possible. A
S'HSie "olu may CONTAIN tnree e 5.
The question has also been asked how
ties If any occur, are to be decided.
AS each list is received it is placed in
an envelope that has been previously
numbered and this number will decide
who has the preference in case of ties.
For instance, if No. 10 and No. 20 have
the same number Of words, No. 10 will
get the larger prize, as it was received
first, but there is very little prospect Of
ties.

HIS PROMPT ACTION.
Kuhman's Presence of Mind Saved
His Life.

Frank Kuhman, chef at the Hotel
Schadt, owes his life to the great pres
ence OF mind which he displayed yes
terday morning while at work. He had
been suffering from an ulcer on his leg
| for some weeks and this brought about
the rupture of an artery while he was
working in the kitchen.
The blood burst out in a stream, and
Kuhman, though feeling himself grow
ing weak, realized that his life depend
ed on prompt action. He pulled a
leather belt from his waist and made
a tourniquet of it just above the rup-
tured artery. The flow of blood was
staunched and his life saved. DR.. Hor-
ace Gibbons was summoned, and adj
vised kuhman's removal to the Lacka-
wanna hospital. The physicians there
say he would probably have bled to
death but for the effort he made to
staunch the flow Of blood
