ONE WOMAN'S GIFTS. Beaidei Sum to Georgetown, Mr. Ryan Educate Boys. New York, July 2.1. One of the pet philanthropic of Mr. Thoma F. Ryan whose gift of over $.00,000 to George town I'nlveraity ha jut been announc ed. i the Eymard seminary, at fiuffern, S Y for the education of poor boy for the priecthood. The Eymard neminary, which ha jut concluded the flrttt year of it life, i one of the niont pictureque and inter- luting theologicaj iiHtjbuUon in the United State and appear to be unique in every detail. The aeminary, netling among the fining hill and annny alope encircling the little town of Huffcrn, i a large frame building flr-t erected at the in- atance of lr. Taul (iibicr, of New York, with a view to etab!ihing there a branch of the famed Pateur Institute, of rari. lr. fiibier'a death put an end to thin undertaking and about a year and a hulf ago the congregation of the Father of the Rlesned Sacrament con ceived the idea of converting the build ing into a school where boya might get their firet education for entrance to their, own order. When the plan wa brought to the attention of Air. Ryan, she became (jreatly interete in it. and when the Rev. Father Arthur Le- tellier, head of the Father of the Bless ed Sacrament, had ascertained that the entire property could le liought for $lu 2.'i0 she immediately authorized the pur chase, making a lilieral gift of the great er part of this sum, which wa eulme queiitly a-hled to by her husband, Thoa. F. Ryan, the. well known financier. The transfer of the property took place in May, 10IM. Shortly the semi nary opened with a class of fifteen lit tle boya. Only one of these boy pay hi way, and eo fur the father with the occasional assistance of Mr. Ryan, have been able to defray all expenses. They believe (iod calls his apostle, from the rank of the poor and the humble, and confidently expect that other will come to their aid a Mrs. Ryan did, and make it possible to educate many more such bovs. It cost $173 a year for each boy. Seven of the boy now enrolled as stu dent of the school are from New York City. The other are nil from Fall River and Webster, Muss., and all are Ameri can born, though of German, French and Irish descent. When the seminary 0ens in September more will be added to the numfter.

Missouri Mule Three Score and Ten Yean Old, it Work. St. Loui. July 23. Aaron Allied and Charles Nevlin, horse trader, of Upper Alton, III., have a mule which, they say. is a living refutation of the Osier theory. The animal is said to be over CO years of age and in addition to bis other ac accomplishments, is learning to sing the refrain of "I'm Just as Young a I used to Re." The mule wa bought from a citizen of Bunker Hill, who claimed to be able to furnish an authentic history showing that it ha been on earth nearly the al lotted three score and ten years. The Bunker Hill man said that hi father drove the mule' for' many years before the animal fell into his hand by inheri tance. The present owner of the mule be lieve there are several years' of useful ness in the brute, yet, and will see that he has a chance to prove the boast. Machinery for South Bend South Bend, July 18.

A big ledge of granite ha been found near Spokane, ono that promise to develop into a big quarry. The find was made by Frank Kelsey about two month ago, and lie about one and a half mile north of Hilliard. The ledge proper wa not discovered until two week ago, but already more than 200 ton of granite have been taken out of the quarry, and more than 2,0C0 ton are now exposed. When asked about hi find yesterday Mr. Kelsey said: I had an idea that there was large body of granite here abouts, ami two month ago I found a small cropping of it. By digging" down into the sand I found that the ledge wa larger than I aupposed, so I at once set alxmt buying the land. I have 80 acre now, which cost me $4155 an acre, !2J0 in all. The land belonged to a man named I. N. Cusworth, who, I sup posed, considered it nearly worthies. "The quarry i owned by myseff and my brother, C. I. Kelsey. The stone i a fine blue granite, quite as good as that found in the Little Spokane quarry. The ledge is 300 feet wide and is uncov-, ered for a distance of 400 feet. At present we are working five men. We have a derrick, a steam drill, and a traction engine, and can handle about 100 tons of granite a day. We are only five and one half mile from the center of Spokane by wagon road and have a down grade all the way. The Spokane Fall and Northern railroad track run right accro or ground, not more than 300 feet from where we are working. On account of such transportation fac ilities we can sell our granite very cheaply, $1.65 a ton being our price at present. We have not incorporated our holdings, but eventually we shall do so. Spokesman Review. " Southern Oregon Melons. The melon crop of Southern Oregon Oregon, which usually brings rich re turns to the owners of farms In the that section threatens to suffer materi ally this year. The Southern Oregonian, in speaking of it say of the damage be ing done: The melon crop of Josephine county until within the "last two weeks, gave promise of a big yield. Some kind of a pest ha attacked the vine, however, and the melon grower have as yet not been able to determine what it is caus ing tlie 'damage. A vine will be in per fect vigor and within 24 hours will be gin to wither and dry up and will be entirely dead in two days. The-only thing that can be noticed peculiar to the vine when first attacked is a yellow ish tinge to the heart of the runners and of the roots. No insects can be ob served on the leaves, vines or roots, nor can a larvae be found on the vine or roots. A small black bug is found in the ground about the roots of some of the diseased vines but it doe not eem to appear to eed on or molest .the root. Some of the diseased rine, to- gether with a number of the black bug , found in the hill have been sent to IVofeasof Cordley, entomologist in the State Agricultural College at Corvallis, in the hope of hi being able to find the cause of the dieae and a treatment for prevention. There are over 300 acre in melon in Josephine county this sea son. Grower expected to have hal fully SOear for shipment to Portland and other northern market, but t'li pest will cut it down more or ks. Albany Herald. Ponderay Smelter Active. If. M.
