The Tribune's Educational Contest
had another big day yesterday. There
was considerable changing about In the
list of contestants, A. j. Kellerman, OF
Scranton, taking the lead away from
Herbert Thompson, of Carbondale.
There were also two new contestants
to return points. They were Miss Edna
Coleman, of Scranton, and William T.
s. Rodriguez. of Scranton, who now
occupy twelfth and sixth places, re-
spectively, in the above table. There
were also four entries, as follows:
John Lyons, Forty-second street,
Carbonate.
Louis Gere, Brooklyn, Pa.
c. j. Clark, Peckville.
Edward Clark, 44o West Market
street.
Some pertinent questions have been
asked by the contestants and their
friends. One letter received asks the
following:
Il. If 1 should secure a subscriber
for one month could 1 secure him for
another month and receive a point?
2. If necessary, could you send me as
many subscription blanks as I should
order? 9. Do winners receive 10 per
cent? ?"
Answer-1. A contestant may secure
renewal from any subscriber he has
originally secured and will receive
credit for as many additional points
as the subscriber extends his subscrip-
tion. Q. We will keep contestants well
supplied with subscription blanks, but
cannot allow them to order an unrea-
sonable number; when they are out OF
blanks and while awaiting those they
have ordered they should not relax
work. but keep a private memorandum
of the new subscribers they get and
forward them to this Office properly
prepared. on blanks as soon as they
arrive. 3. Winners do not receive 10
per cent. The contestants who at the
close of the contest stand above thirty
third place will have a choice OF the
scholarships, as outlined in Rule No.
!, and the thirty-third contestant will
take the remaining scholarship. All
below that place will receive 10 per
cent. of all the money they turn in dur
ing the contest.
Another letter, signed "a Friend of
One of the Contestants" asks almost
the same question as the first one in
the previous letter, but makes the point
a trifie clearer as follows:
"Supposing person who is not a
subscriber of The Tribune at present
should subscribe for three months and
at the end of that time should renew
his subscription for say, one year, both
subscription and renewal being made
through the same contestant, would the
contestant receive is points or would
only the first three points be credited
to him in the contest?"
Answer-He would receive credit for
| Is points.
The entry list is still open.

Any Intelligent man or woman can
easily detect victims of nervous

pie are, without doubt, victims of
nervous prostration, hysterla, or in
somnia. The whole system suffers

sympathetic system.
1t is unnecessary to dilate minutely
on the causes Of nervousness. Busi-
ness cares and disappointments, haste

household worries, sexual and alcoholic
excesses. watching and anxiety, and
loss to near and dear ones, all con-
tribute to the breaking down of the
nervous organism Of men and women.

law as birds that from nestlings are
taught by parents to obey signals and
to regard most implicitly every detail
Of self-protection.
Why birds migrate is as yet uneX-
planned. although their methods are
thoroughly understood. Warblers
perish by the thousand in these mi
grations, by contact with light houses
along the coast. 1t is from this des-
truction that the museums and COL
lections are filled with "bird-skins.
Miss Moore had large variety Of
these to illustrate the points of her
talk. Among them We're the brave
scarlet tanager in his gay wedding
dress and also in his sober clothes of
the remainder of the year, the sparrow,
hawk, various specimens OF warblers,
blue jays, "greenlets," as John Bur-
roughs calls the virio family, robins,
swallows, etc.
In conclusion she spoke earnestly of
the pitiful destruction of birds. and
as an example of it's wanton character
recalled the fact that both the male
and female wear the delicate
aigrettes at nesting time and that
plume hunters kill both parents of the

acorn fair lady's hat or her coiffure.
Just at this point one of the ladies'
present plucked from her hair the
white little spray and brought down
the house with her involuntary ap-
plication of the moral.
Miss Moore suggested to those who
are really conscientious In their desire
to preserve the song birds that they
avoid wearing feathers of any descrip-
tion. She spoke of preservation of bird
life as necessary to the preservation of
agricultural products and indeed of
the life of the people. Her talk was
one that was greatly appreciated and
may result in the organization OF an
audubon society here.
Pleasant social features succeeded
the talk. Mrs. Dimmick was assisted
by Mrs. George Sanderson, Miss San
derson.
At the tables We're Mrs. Henry Belin,
ir., Miss Anna *. Sanderson, Mrs.
Everett Warren, Mrs. w. w. Scranton,
Mrs. j. p. Hosie, Miss Marian Sander

A TALK ON BIRDS.
Delivered by Miss Mary Putnam
Moore at the Home Of MI. and
Mrs. ]. Benjamin Dimmick.

Singularly appropriate was the
thought of one of Scranton's most gra-
cious hostesses when she planned for a
fair May afternoon to entertain II COM
pany of guests with thoughts OF bird
lore and springtime sweetness.
"Homewood," the suburban resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. j. Benjamin
Dimmick, was at it's loveliest yesterday,
without and within, while nearly two
hundred ladies spent one OF the most
delightful and profitable hours ever
provided for their pleasure. Every
where, on muntels and tables, IN hooks
and about certain pictures were mass
ed the Spirit of May, the apple-blos-
SONS in their radiance of pink and
white. Outside the tender green of the
young leaves spread a simmer OF
beauty in view from every window
through which came the merry notes
of birds in the making time OF
the year.
With all these accessories to infiu-
ence the aesthetic senses stepped forth
a young woman, who must have taken
many u lesson from the birds. whom
she so loves, to have such a delicious
ly sweet voice and such IL winsome
laugh. She told in such fascinating
way of the little creatures we all ought
to know, that her listeners were
charmed.
Miss Mary Putnam Moore says she
Ia not an ornithologist, only "birder,"
but she has SO patiently studied the
book of nature and practiced the notes
of it's scale that she has caught much
of the wild, exquisite charm to be gain
ed only in out-of-door life, and has inn
bibed n subtle sympathy for the feath-
cred world which she Is marvelously
clever at transmitting to her hearers
Among her accomplishments Is happy
imitation of bird notes by whistling.
Miss Moore began with the eXplana-
tion that many of the popular tra-
ditions regarding bird life are found to
be wrong by the students. For In
stance, instead of there being no birds
i'm winter as is often asserted, there are
l27 different ones. at least half or which
are of common varieties. Winter Is the
time TO begin the study of birds, as
they are less in number and more easily
seen.
Another tradition is that the woods
are full of birds. when the fact Is that
most OF them are found In the meadows
or along streams, only a few going into
the edge OF the woodland.
Another erroneous idea Is that the
life of bird symbolizes freedom
when the truth Is that no group of the
animal world Is SO under the reign OF

was playing.
When the presentment came to Dem
mer he told several persons that he
would die before the close of the next
day. After Father Kilfillan had admin
istered the last rites, the old organist
said to him:
Father, for thirty years played the
organ in the cathedral. You are the
only priest who has graced its altar
who has not heard my music. While I
have not sat at my organ since I left
the hospital last spring, i am going
to do so now"
Demmer crossed the room YEARLY to
the old-fashioned organ and touched
the keys with infinite tenderness. Then
he paused, and Father Kilfllan heard
him murmur
ct is for you, father, I am going to
play"
The old man began Mozart's Last
Requiem His eyes were cast up
ward as he played. The priest ap-
preached softly and stood by his side.
True was the touch of the old organist,
and Father Kilfillan, with bowed head,
was awed by the solemn music.
The requiem was half finished when
the organist's hand dropped from the
keys and his head fell forward. Father
Kilfillan knelt by his side and sup
ported him. Paralysis had stricken the
old musician. Assistance was sum-
moned, and he was carried to his bed.
Five hours later he died.-Boston Pilot.

WHAT CATHOLIC FEDERATION
OWES TO THE GERMANS

1t is fair to acknowledge that, with
out the active cooperation of the Ger
mans. Catholic Federation would not
get on. We are impressed with this
truth by gIancing over the official re-
port of the proceedings of the recent
convention held at Chicago aug. 5-O.
We find therein a list of the accredited
delegates reported by the committee on
credentials.
Nearly two-thirds of the delegates
listed bear German names. Illinois is
credited with 15S delegates, a majority
of whom bear German, Polish or Bo-
henian names. Ohio comes next with
100 delegates. sixty-siX of whom bear
German names. Wisconsin is third with
sixty delegates, of whom only seven
have Irish or American names; twenty
of the thirty-two delegates from Indi-
ana have German names; SIX OF the
seven delegates from Iowa and seven
of the nine from Minnesota also have
German names.
WISCONSIN. in this convention, had
more delegates than the combined dele
cations from Maine. New Hampshire,
Vermont. Rhode Island, Connecticut,
Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylva-
MIA Delaware, New Jersey and Mary
land. A fact like this, of course, az
fects the representative character OF
the convention, inasmuch as Two tnlros
of the Catholic population OF the
United States reside in the New Eng
land and Middle states, and but one
twentieth in the state of Wisconsin.
Looking over the list of delegates, we
find that thirty-siX clergymen sat IN
the convention from Illinois. Ohio and
wisconsin. OF these thirty-siX, but SIX
bore Irish or American names.
The deduction from these facts IS
that Fedora ton is largely in the keep
ing of our German-American societies;
and that the movement is rather neg
lected by the Irish-American element
in the American Catholic church, VINO
fear that its political activity may be
pernicious. The abstemtion of the
Irish-American clergy from the move
ment is both noteworthy anil signifi-
cant.

of amusement have become so numer
Gus in every large city and the habit
of going to halls for the purpose of
being seen as well as seeing has be-
come so prevalent that for many it
does not seem that the custom usual in
a public hall must be proper also in
a church. Now it is unnecessary to
tell any one that a church is a sacred
place that it should fill all with the
thought that filled the mind of Jacob,
namely, that it is a terrible place, a
holy place, surely the house of God
1t is unnecessary to say this every
one knows it; and therefore in order
to avoid distractions, in order to be-
have respectfully in order to act rever-
emily we do say: Read your prayer
book. 1t is true that a devout prayer,
spoken from the -fullness of the heart
even spoken in the lisping voice of
childhood, is worth a hundred prayers
perfunctorily read from a prayer book
A prayer book, after all, is merely the
record of some individuals particular
way of talking to God; while prayer,
even inarticulately said by a man, is
a prayer from his own heart; yet to
hold the attention, to suggest new
thoughts, to teach one how to reverent-
ly address God, to enable one to learn
the words of the saints, a prayer book
is most useful. And especially is it
useful for children Every parent
should see when the child starts for
mass on Sunday morning that it has
its own little prayer book For by
means of this insistence the children
will unconsciously become imbued with
the belief that the churches and the
services conducted in the church are
not mere meeting places or mere COM
pulsory exercises, but are the places
and the services where in special
manner God is to be honored. And
then from constantly reading the book
certain formulas, certain appropriate
words will become fastened in the
memory and such a memory help will
be of incalculable assistance in later
life when the inevitable difficulties and
doubts arise. The father and mother,
therefore, must not consider their du-
ties done when they have made their
children presentable and sufficiently
dressed to attend mass. They must,
as the final preparation, put into the
hands of the child the prayer book that
will help it to speak reverently and
sincerely to the God into whose terh-
pie they are about to enter.-New
World.

MADNESS OF DoUKHoBoRs.
Chanting Army of Fanatics on the
March.


Winnipeg, Manitoba, Oct. 2S.-With
gaunt faces and eyes lifted heavenward.
an army of fanatics chanting weird re-
ligious hymns, entered Yorktown. AS
sinaboia, today, filling the inhabitants
with fear and pity.
The pilgrims form part of the COLONY
of Doukhobors, or Russian zealots. who
located in the Canadian northwest +wo
years ago, which has gone on the march
leaving crops half harvested and de-
sorting their horses and cattle.
Sixteen hundred men, women and
children entered Yorktown this morn
ing carrying their infants and sick on
stretchers.
The body marched to the immigration
sheds, where agents of the government
met and interviewed them. Through
interpreters the Doukhobors told the
officials they did not know where they
were going or what they expected to
do, their only mission was to convert
people and find Jesus.
The male members of the party re-
fused proffered shelter for the women
and children and the sick, but after
much persuasion We're induced to leave
the weaker ones behind while they
continued their march through the city.
The men and women are living on
weeds and raw potatoes and look
emaciated after their long tramp from
the villages.
Four hundred more Doukhobors are
now exiles out of the town and 600 more
are leaving their villages. One child
died this evening while on the march.
When word was brought in of their
proximity this morning meeting of
the council was hastily called and sew
eral special constables were sworn in.
No violence will be used by the de-
Tending party, which is under the COM
mand of the officers of the Northwest
mounted police, who are stationed
there, but trouble is feared; for while
the original mission of the Doukhobors
was of a peaceful pcture, some appre-
hension is felt that they will be driven
to acts of violence by sheer necessity.

Sleep Scientifically Discussed

At their last sitting the French acad-
envy of science medical section) dis
cussed the very important question of
sleep. They came to the following con-
clusion, which 1 am sure will both
benefit and interest the readers of
American journals
The average of necessary sleep for
children who study is:
For children of years. twelve hours.
For children of years, eleven hours.
For children of years, ten hours.
For children from u to Ii, nine to
ten hours.
For young people from IA to u, eight
or nine hours.
Grown-up people should never sleep
less than saven hours.
Anemia and general weakness are
mostly due to insufficient sleep.
