A GENEROUS MAN.
Ira c. Cal>f Again Endows
Goddard Seminary.

1t is not often that man possessed OF
a large sum of money and extensive
property lives almost exclusively for
the good of others yet this seems to be
the case with MIR Ira G.. Calrf who is so
we'll known as a benefarlor and phil an
thropist,
One of his chief methods of doing
good work is in the promotion of educa =
ZION amongst those who can i'll afforI
that expense, and for the past twenty
years there has been no time when he
has not been giving at least four or five
Young people an opportunity to enjoy
the an :antages of Goddard Seminary
which institution he has in the past rich
ly endowed.
His good work is now continued by
another benefaclion. the result of which
will be lnany grateful hearts amongst
his fellow !ownspeople. Yesterday at
ternoon he was in the city Oh his way to
Chicago when he stepped into the bank
and made over to DR.. b. W. Braley as
trustee of Goddard Seminary the sum of
$4,000, the income of which is to be eX-
pended in the education at that ins'itu-
llon of needy students from his native
town of Washington.
He and his sister NfSs Ett1-v ->------.- :.
left on the afternoon train for Chicago
and we unite with the admiring public
in wishing them u very pleasant trip.
