TAKING OUT BRIDGES.
Santa Fe Rebuilding Seven Miles Be
tween Shoemaker and Watrous.

Santa Fe Rebuilding Seven Miles Be
tween Shoemaker and Watrous.
Albuquerque, n. NJ, May 1.-THE
work of changing the grade of the
Santa F'e New Mexico division between
Shoemaker and Watrous is progress
ing rapidly, and the contractors,
Wood, Bancroft & Doty. announces
that with good luck the work viii be
completed by the first of August. The
construction of the new line has been
in progress since the first of the year
and the work has been very fast, con-
sidering the difficulties encountered.
About half Of the seven miles is being
blasted out of solid rock on the side
hill above Shoemaker canyon, the
treacherous defile in which the tracks
were completely washed away for a
distance of two or three miles a year
ago Most of the work has been sub
let by Wood, Bancroft & Doty to 9TH
er small contractors.
The new line does away with three
bridges. The track formerly crossed
the Mora river four times and by the
present arrangement crosses this
bstream only once, over a. five hundred
foot steel bridge, which is said to be
one of the strongest on the system.
This bridge, however, is sufficiently
elevated to be in no danger from high
water. This bridge is about mile
north of Watrous.
The work has cost many thousands
of dollars and for it's length is one OF
/ the most expensive pieces of recon
struction on the system.

HARD TO BELIEVE.
story That VIII Interest Smokers, Told
as Though 1t Were True.

A well known farmer, says an east
ern exchange, fed his horse by mis-
take a quantity Of poultry food, think
ing it was stock food, and the mistake
was not noticed until the horse had
scratched up half the garden and
showed signs of wanting to set.
While this sounds a little improb-
able, yet one of the clerks at George
". Stansheld, druggist, $50 Kansas
avenue, tells a story akin to it. He
has recently secured the agency for
Wadsworth Bros Chicos. a cigar that
sells for sc, but is the equal in quality
of any 10c cigar, and in fact is pre-
ferred by many smokers. He induced
one of their customers who had never
smoked anything but an ordinary sc
cigar to try a Chico with the result
that he now wants high grade goods
in all lines.
Don't buy a Wadsworth Bros Chi
cos because 1t is cheap; buy it because
it is good, because it is a clear long
Havana filler, because it has a high
grade tobacco favor and a delightful
aroma. because it's the best cigar you
can get for solid enjoyment-and
there is a satisfaction In feeling that
you are getting all this for a nickel.

Kansas Indian Territory, Texas, OKLA

and Iowa.
Every state and territory in the Uni
ted States except Florida and Arkansas
have been visited by Mr.. Roosevelt
since he became president and it Is his
intention to accept the hospitality OF
these states before his term is finished
1t is probable that he win make a tour
of the south some time before the con-
vening of congress in the fan of this
year The demonstrations at every
point where the president spoke are
said by the official members Of the
party to have been the heartiest that
have ever been accorded him in on any
trip.
The president left the train immedi-
ately after it rolled into the station. He
shook hands with the train employees
and others who greeted him. then with
Dr. Lambert. he stepped into his car

Despite the time required by school and industrial training the boys have plenty of leisure. No effort IS spared to make their free time really enjoyable, instead of being only another form of restraint. The Asylum already has a complete gymnasium outfit, such as has been installed in the play centres of New York Four hourishing base ball clubs arc also in existence, supplied with the requisite amount of bats and balls, besides the luxury of uniforms, the gift of Evert Johnson Wendell. and in their new home the boys will have an athletic field covering an area equal to four city blocks.

This is not to be much regretted however, for the authorities aim to get their charges out of the crowded city. rather than to send them back to the surroundings from which they came.
 The results of this combination of 0 school education, the equivalent of that to be had in the public schools of the city, with an industrial training which both occupies the boy at the time and equips him for the future are shown by the fact that at Dobbs Ferry 1t has not been thought necessary even to fence in the grounds.

Tragedy and an AuctIon.

A lady writes from London: It was a sad thing when the jewels and the state and wedding robes of the murder ed Servian queen were sold by auction. The desire to possess such things, ex- cept to add to a collection is inexplica- ble. I have always felt when told that some beautiful piece of lace or exqui- site ornament belonged to Marie Antoi- nette I could not have worn 1t with comfort. The feS ling Is, of course, a personal one and not widely sympa- thized with. Great interest was shown In the sad relics of the i'll fated Queen Draga. The auction rooms have not been so crowded for long time-not since the famous Battle Abbey heir looms were on view there. In all. the jewelry, which was generally of the kind called barbaric-that Is, cabochon and uncut gems set solidly-the state robes and the wedding dress realized a little over $11,5O0. The tiara worn at her wedding, of a beautiful bow de- sign, alone brought $6.1O0. Doubtless it will be worn by some light hearted woman who may as she dons 1t vouch- safe a thought to the terrible tragedy which placed 1t in her possession.
