TEACHING The DEAF.
THERE WERE ONLY EIGHT PUPILS
The Board Decided TO Begin Now Not
withstanding the Fact that the New
school Building Is not Ready-A Very
Interesting school--The Teachers.

The sixteenth year Of the RHODE ISLAND
Slate School for the Deaf and Dumb was
entered upon this morning.
rhe opening of the school has been de-
layed a week later than usual this year
in the hope that the new building on East
avenue would be ready for occupancy,
but at a meeting OF the State school
board last Saturday 1t was decided to
open In the old quarters on FOUNTAIN
street, rather than delay longer. -,
The new building, however, will be
opened November ], and many advan-
tages will be enjoyed there which the ola
school house could not afford :,
AS soon as the decision had been reached
TO commence to-day, notices or the open
ing were sent TO the various students as
quickly as possible, but not all the schol-
ars have been reached, and this In large
measure accounts for the smailness OF tue
attendance at this mornings session.
There were present but eight little ones
from various portions OF the State. but by
next Monday the full quota OF forty pu-
pills is expected TO be on hand.
Many OF the students come from out
side of PROVIDENCE, IN fact not quite one
third OF them reside here, aud much
the children travelling back and forth
each day. This will be remedied when
the new building is used for there the
scholars will take all their meals and
sleep.
The ages Of the pupils range from six
to twenty and the oral method OF instruc-
tion is employed. Soon after child has
become q member of the school it learns
to catch the words from the teachers lips
by watching carefully the movements OF
the vocal organs and by the time the
course has been completed. the scholar Is
able to 20 into society and converse un-
derstandingly with any one who can talk
plainly, that is without uttering the
sounds with their teeth closed.
The children are taught the common
grammar branches and fitted for high
school and illustrative of the work the
school is doing may be mentioned the
fact that young lady graduate has en-.
tered the East Providence High school
this year and is keeping we'll up with her
work having very little II any difficulty
in understanding the instructors there.
Following is the corps OF teachers with
which the school started this morning:
Miss Laura ID. Richards, principal; Miss
Fannie ID. Gladding. Miss A. Evelyn But
Ter, Miss Harriet c. Hall. Miss Bessie s.
Nickerson and Miss Annie G. Allen.

A city paved with marblel 1t sounds
strangely enough, yet In the heart Of pow
erty-stricken Ireland there is just suoh q
city. Kilkenny, one OF the Irish parlia-
mentary boroushs, is not only paved with
the costly stone, bat many of its houses
are built with the same material. Half a
mile outside the town are the famous
black marble quarries, which turn out
the choicest marble In the British Isles.
From time immemorial the civic author
tiles have been accustomed to buy this
stone, undressed, to pave and build with.
The old Norman walls of Kilkenny were
OF marble throughout, as Is the Cathedral
of st. Carnice to-day. Kilkennybas two
other peculiarities. It's water Is wonder
fully clear and pure, while the coal used
In the city, coming as II does from the
Sliere Marge anthracite region emits no
perceptible smoke. All these qualities are
celebrated in the time-worn distich:
In Kilkenny you will find
Air without smoke, water without mud.
And streets paved with marble.

The Capay Valley Land Com
pany is offering the most fertil
lands in this beautiful valley upol
terms that enable the purchase
to pay Cor the land out of its owl
product, viz: Interest only for fivt
years at Z Fer cent. The only
condition imposed is, that reas
enable proportion Of the land pur'
chased shall be planted to fruit
trees or vines. Land may be
bought on this condition on pay
ment Of 20 per cent cash and the
remaining 80 per cent at the end
Of five years, with interest annu-
ally in advance; at Z per cent.
The various tracts owned by the
Capay Valley Land Company have
been subdivlded toto ten and twen-
ty acre lots, which are for sale at
prices varying from $50 to $3.50
per acre. Similar unimproved
land in Vaca Valley has recently
been sold at from $400 to 5000
per acre.
The Capay valley lands are un-
der the most favorable climatic
conditions for the prosecution Of
profitable fruit growing; and the
locality has proved itself to be
one of the earliest in tie State.
The railroad passes through all
the tracts owned by the Capay
Valley Land Company, thus insur-
ing excellent shipping facilities;
and the land may now be pur-
chased in the immediate proximi-
ty of either the following stations:
Capay, Cadenaso, Surrey, Guinda,
Sautern, Cashmere or Rumaey.
At many CT these places fine or
chards of the choicest and earliest
varieties OF peaches and apricots
may already be seen; and during
the coming season considerable
acreage will be planted
out. One Of the recent sales made
by the company was that OF Tan
cred Tract, containing 600 acres
to colony association. This tract
has been subdiyided into forty
all Of which will be plan
ted to fruit trees this season.
The fine orchards on the GUM
da Tract, where. 500 acres have
been sold, are especially worthy of
and it is a significant
fact that already several of
the blocks are owned by success
full Vaca valle5 fruit-growers, who
expect to make their earliest ship
ments from here.
Too much stress cannot be laid
upon the great advantage to the
fruit grower of being in an early
locality. In most cases it makes
the difference between success and
failure. The industrious orchar-
dist of Capay Valley may rest as
suled that he will derive all the
