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.
Student enter the Eymard aeminary
at thirteen or fourteen year of age and
take up a classical course, which cover
five years. At the end of this time they
are sent to the Seminaries and Uni
versities for higher branches of tudy.
The Rev. Father Tilon is director of the
school.

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.

: Find Granite Quarry.
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.

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.
