Announcement is made that Mrs. A.
t. Stewart has decided to build and endow a
Protestant Episcopal College, for those young
men wishing to enter the Church, but who are
unable to pay the heavy expenses demanded by
present colleges. Several other educational
buildings are also to be erected at once in Gar
den City at the expense Of the estate; one Of
which will be dedicated TO the young women
residing on Long Island. The costs Of the build
ings and the endowments will amount to fully
100000 Under the contract entered into
some years since for the building Of the Garden
City Cathedral, which is to serve as a memorial
to the late Mr. Stewart the beautiful edifceshould
have been completed by the first Of last June.
but the contractors and architect say that the
delay was caused by the delicate work which
had to be executed in the interior of the building
and the large amount Of stone necessary for the
building proper. Mr.. Harrison, the architect.
says that work on the cathedral is being ad-
yanced as quickly as possible, and that the en-
tire building will be completed by Christmas.
