GIFT FOR MONTPELIER SEMINARY
D. K. Pearsons Will Give $25 900 if
$4,000 Can Be Re Raised Els ,where.

Montpelier, Feb. 26.-Principal w. r..
Davenport makes the announcement that
Montpelier seminary may soon receive an
endowment of $4,000 if the institution is
able to raise $4,000. This news first came
to the surface at the Quincy House, Eos-
ton at the banquet of the alumni Monday
evening. The donor is d. *. Pearson of
Chicago, H., philanthropist who has
institutions where the need of such endow-
ments is mostly felt.
The fiscal year of the school closes
March 10 and Mr. Davenport will be un-
able to do anything until that time, but
afterward he intends to go to work to
raise the $15,0Oc required, and he has in
mind many people who will give generous
sums of money, so that he is hopeful Of
raising the amount required, which would
in the end result in an endowment of sl0',-
fr0 for the seminary. The institution has
things well in hand for the present Y, ar
and enough money to pay the current
bills.

The Geographical Board on names
has been spending much time find
ing the origin Of the name Cuba.
The result Of their work may inter
est our readers. "Guba is the name
BY which the island was originally
known ty the Lucayan Indians, who
were with Columbus when he dis
covered it. One OF its villages or
cities was called by them Cubanacan
and it is reported from the similar
ity of sounds Columbus, still sup
posing himself to be on the coast Of
Asia, imagined that this must be
the city of Kubia Kuhan, the Tar
tar sovereign celebrated by Marco
Polo. The survival of the original
name of Cuba is remarkable in
stance oil persistence, as the island
has been baptized and rebaptized
many times since its European dis
covery. Columbus first called it
Juana in honor of Prince John. the
son of Ferdinand and Isabella AT
ter Ferdinand's death it was called
in his memory, Ferdinanda. Suisse
quently this name was changed to
Santiago, after St James, the patron
saint Of Spain. Still later it was
named Ave Maria, in honor Of The
Virginia Mary. But none of these
names held, and the Indian name is
still preserved.
