lege-A Fighting Prisoner.

Father HaweS, the Roman Catholic
pastor here, stated this morning to q
HERALD man that the deal regarding the
Sisters College is settled. The institu.
tion is to be placed on the Crippen tract
about mile out of town, and twenty
two acres are donated by the owner of
the property. In addition to this, pro.
vision is made for the construction and
operation of street-car line from the
grounds Of the institute to the heart of
the town. The papers have been signed
by Mr.. Grip pen and are on their way to
the Sisters headquarters at San Diego,
and. according to the contract, work is to
commence on the institute within ninety
days. The advantages of this deal will
rebound wonderfully to the interests OF
Santa Monica. A day school for young
boys and children of the town will be run
in connection with the main building,
which will be college second to none ON
the Coast. The structure is to cost $780,
600, and will be handsome piece of
architecture. The order that is doing all
this is the Sisters of st. Joseph, which is
essentially one of the teaching branches
of the Catholic Church. At the present
time the Sisters have three centers Of
instruction in the State, one at Oakland,
one at San Diego and small branch at
Los Ang eles, but the institute to be
erected here will be the headquarters
when completed.
