SESSION BEGINS TODAY
st. michaeI's College Commences Term
Today---0utIook for Large Attend
ance Promising.

Today marks the formal opening OF
the various schools in this city other
than the Territorial public schools. ST.
Michaeps college resumes the work
with practically the same corps OF
teachers as last year and remains un.
der the efficient direction of Brother
Botulph There are quite a number OF
new students and the work of matricu-
lation is now going on. The classes
will be called this week, but it is not
thought that the real work of the term
will be begun until after the arrival
of the majority CT the students who
are expected next week.
The new parochial school for girls
on Water street has been opened and
will be under the direction of the Sis
ters of Loretto. The new buildings
were blessed last Sunday afternoon by
the Very Reverend Anthony Fourche-
que, and it is understood that all the
work will be conducted in English.
The Academy of Loretto begins the
academic year today. All the institu-
tions have the promise of large at
tendance and the outlook for the COM
ing school year is very promising

Aside from its strength ands d;ra.
bility, the stone bridge will present a
grand appearance and will be most
appropriate structure for this site, be-
ing on the street that is always ira
versed by people going to thescapitol
building and within a stones throw of
the handsome grounds that surround
that stately structure. The handsome
design drawn by Mr.. White could
hardly be improved upon either for
durability Or beauty.
In the construction of the bridge
the lola Portland Cement company's S
best grade of American PortlanIs ce-
ment will be used This cement Is
used largely throughout the West
and stands high with the buildip fra
ternity. The works of the company
are located at lola, Kan, but the pritl-
cipal offices are in ST. Louis, There
has been constructed on the. World S
fair grounds at St, Louis bridge Of
this cement and it has proved a mark
ed success. The cement has the ap-
proval of the leading engineers and
its adoption was urged by Engin er
David M. White. i
Though comparatively speaking, a
young man. Mr.. Sharp has had a re-
markably successful career as build
er and especially Of stone-arch bridg-
es. He is native OF Minnesota and
when boy accompanied his parents
to Kansas At the age of 10 years
he began to help his father, who was
also stone work contractor and he
therefore has been engaged in stone
work practically all his life" Mr..
Sharp was the pioneer stone-bridge
man, in Kansas and has probably
built more bridges of this particular
kind than any one man in. the coun-
try. He now has three outfits work
ing in Kansas and another outfit en-
gagged in building 40-foot span
stone, arch bridge for Colfax County,
near Ration. He has ali the work that
he can do in Kansas and came out

that Mr.. Sharp is very competent, alb
solutely painstaking, thorough and
careful in all the bridge work he un-
dertakes, that there is not one of the
stone bridges constructed by him in
various sections of Kansas that has
not proved complete success and
given satisfaction to the people and to
the authorities.
In this connection it is but fair to
state that Hon. Arthur Seligman,
member of the board of county COM
missioners from the First district, is
entitled to the credit of having Sc
cured the necessary tax levy for 1902
and 1908 to pay for the construction
of this stone-arch bridge. Mr.. oelig-
man worked hard and faithfully in the
matter and at times under great diff
culties. He. however, interested the
leading citizens and taxpayers of this
city in the project and with the aid
which they gave him supplemented
by his energetic official and personal
efforts had the tax levied, appropria-
tion made and the plans, designs and
specifications drawn by Engineer
David M. White, adopted by the board
of county commissioners and the con-
tract awarded on July Both last to Mr.
Sharp, who was the lowest of three
bidders. The highest bid was nearly
$1,000; the second over $4,000, while
Mr.. Sharps bid was for $4,000, a few
hundred dollars less than the esti-
mates. At the time of the signing of
the contract month ago, Mr.. Sharp
deposited with the board of county
commissioners a certified check for
$3.50 and a surety bond in the sum OF
$1,000 for the faithful performance of
his contract. He receives no pay un-
til after the completion and accept
ance OF the bridge and then only one
half of the sum stipulated at the con-
tract price while the other half will
be paid him on the first of July of next |
year. This was done in order to al
low the full collection of the bridge
building tax for the present year The
Capital City is indeed to be congratu-
lated in this matter as the construc-
tion of this bridge will prove of ma
terial benefit to all of it's citizens and
property owners, will aid in keeping
the Territorial capital here and show
and progress on the part
of the city.

Special to New Mexican.
Abiquiu, N. NJ, Aug. 31-Placid6
Duran, a resident Of this town, and a
son of Juan j. Duran, was struck by
lightning and instantly killed on the
afternoon of Saturday, the 29th of
August, while doing some work on
the acequia here. He was 38 years
of age and leaves widow and three
children, and numerous relatives to
mourn his loss. He was good citi-
zen and his untimely end is much re-
gretted in the community.
The feast of Santa Roza, the patron
saint of the town of Abiquiu, was cele-
brated with great pomp and much
ceremony here on Sunday the 3Oth of
August. This is the annual feast day.
Large crowds of people from the sur
rounding country settlements attend
ed the feast here. This year the at
tendance was very large and good
time was had.
David and George Grant, son and
nephew of Henry Grant, have return
ed home from a visit to their uncle
and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Felix Grant, at
Tres Piedras.
This section of Rio Arriba County
is very prosperous and in good condi-

very good and the grass on the range
is excellent. Cattle and sheep are in
fine condition and lambs and wool
have brought good prices.

The work on the new stone bridge
Don Gaspar avenue was commenced
yesterday and the work will be rushed.
II is expected that the time required
will be about three months and then
Santa Fe and New Mexico will have
one OF the finest stone-arch bridges in
She country. The work will be under
the personal direction of Walter
Sharp Of Eldorado, Kan. to whom
the contract was awarded last July.
He will remain in Santa Fe until the
work is completed and will bring his
family here to live with him during
his stay. Mr. Sharp arrived in the
city Sunday evening.
The work that is now being done
un the new structure is that of ex-
cavating and carting The derricks
ant other machinery used in the con-
struction of the bridge are expected
yu he ready and in place some time
nexE week Mr. Sharp has brought
with him his quarry foreman William
KelIett, OF Marion. Kan, and will later
have come to this city his bridge
foreman. AS the work requires, the
force of native laborers will be in
creased and when under full way it is
thought that about % men will be en-
gagged.
David NJ White, locating engineer
ri the United States land commission,
prepared the plans for the bridge. The
structure will be built entirely of
stone and will be 81 feet in length
with double arch. he arches wlu
have 24-foot span and the centers
nj the intrados will be six feet above
1he bed Of the river Thus, it will
readily be seen that a great volume Of
water may pass beneath the two arch
es-more in fact than will ever be
likely to come down the river.
The abutment pier of the bridge will
be seven feet thick at the spring line
and the starting of the pier will pro-
jject two feet beyond the face of the
arches and will be pointed with two
foot nose in order to prevent flood
striking it with full force. 1t will go
',lown to sufficient depth to find SOL
i'd bed and will have a one-foot con-
crete footing.
The bridge will be 80 feet wide from
face to face and will have an 1S.foot
way with 5-foot sidewalk on

here on the solicitation of his friend,
County Clerk Joseph P. Brackett of
Colfax to build the Ration bridge.
He expected to complete this contract
and return to his home, but learning
that the contract for the Santa Fe
bridge was then soon to be let he de-
cided to bid on the work Mr.. Sharp
has a reputation as a builder of stone
arch bridges which he values greatly,
and he says that he is willing to stake
this reputation on the bridge he will
build over the Rio Santa Fe.
Mr.. Sharp is just completing large
stone-arch bridge at Arkansas City,
Kan, this bridge has three 50-foot
spans and one 40-foot span, and the
keystones of these arches are 25 feet
above the water. This is the largest
bridge of the kind in Kansas. He re-
Gently finished bridge at Eureka,
Kan, which is $50 feet long and is IS
feet in the clear above the water In
ALL he has built over 100 of these
stone-arch bridges III that state
The recent Kansas floods demon
strated the superiority of stone-arch
bridges. Not cne of them was dam
aged in the floods, while many steel
bridges were wrecked.
The design, plans and specifications
OF the bridge were prepared by Engin-
eer David NJ White of this city, who
will also have charge of its construc-
ton.
Frank Dibert, assistant treasurer of
the Santa Fe Central railway. who.
before com4ng to- this city, @was for
eighteen years respected and hon
ored resident of the town of Eureka,
the county seat of Green Wood Coun-
ty, adjoining Butler County, of which
Eldorado, is the county seat, the city
OF which Mr. Sharp is resident in
forms the New Mexican that he has
seen and knows the stone-arch bridge
built by Mr.. Sharp across the Fall hiv-
er in Green Wood County, and other
bridges in that vicinity very we'll, and
considers them not only fine works of
architectural art, but also of great
strength and durability. He says the
people of that part of Kansas are
very proud of the many fine stone
bridges erected by Mr.. Sharp that the
lated enjoys the confidence and re-
spect OF the people of his home Sec
tion to very remarkable extent, and

either side. The flooring of the bridge
will be of vitrified brick. Upon the
stone work wlll be placed a layer OF
gravel varying from to II inches in
thickness and upon it will be cush
ion OF sand two inches thick upon
which the brick flooring will rest. The
roadway of the bridge is planned to
have slight slope from the center to
either side and the walks will drain
into the roadway. The plans also
make the bridge slope slightly to the
north. Thus when 1t rains, the water
that fails on the roadway will run to
the sides while that from the walks
will flow into the roadway and the
whole of it will Immediately drain off
at the north end of the bridge.
Bridges of a similar build are usually
drained by means of piping which
runs down through the arches, but
the plans in these specifications are
original with the designer and are an
improvement over the pipes. The
wings at either approach of the bridge
are planned with view of serving the
dual purpose of DETECTING flood
waters and to hold up the street. 1t
is usually the case that they serve for
the former object alone The parapet
wall of the bridge will stand Is inches
above the walks on either side The
coping of the walls will extend two
inches beyond the faces of the bridge.
There will be retaining wall be-
tween each of the walks and the roa.-
way. s
One of the features in the construc-
tioI of the new Don Gaspar avenue
bridge will be the use of the segmen-
tai arch, which affords only a rise of
feet in 24-foot span This will re-
quire the most careful work as far as
building is concerned and will be one
of the points of particular beauty in
the general appearance of the struc-
ture. The bridge will be of limestone.
excepting the arches, the stone coping
on the parapet wall and the pillars at
the end Oh the parapet walls, which
will be of sandstone.
Such bridge will last many de-
cades. There will be no bolts to re-
place as in the case of an iron bridge
and the brick flooring too will be per-
manent. The flooring of iron and
wooden bridges needs to be repaired
after a few years and when they

It is great affection for a woman to
have her face disfgured by pimples or
any form of eruptive disease. 1t makes
her morbid and sensitive, and robs her
of social enjoyment. Dishguring erup-
tons are caused by impure blood, and
are entirely cured by the great blood
purifying medicine-Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. It removes from the
blood the poisonous impurities which
cause disease. It perfectly and perman-
emily cures scrofulous sores, eczema,
letter, boils, pimples and other eruptive
diseases which are caused by the blood S
impurity. 1t increases the action of
the blood-making glands and thus in
creases the supply of pure rich blood.
