PREPARING FOR BUILDING.

At the different offices of architects and
builders, plans are being laid for future
work in that industry. While but little
work can be done now, it gives ample time
for arranging plans and letting contracts,
and the enterprise and thrift Of the citizens
are equal to the occasion. A reporter was
at half dozen Offices, yesterday, asking
what was going to be done in the building
line, when he was told tina. more buildings
had been planned and laid off to be built
in the last ten days than at any time pre-
yious. The different lumber yards appeared
to be out of business yesterday, to the out
side observer, but when the reporter weni in
and asked number of proprietors how
lumber was selling, they all said that they
were only taking large orders for delivery
when the weather broke, and that the spring
months would be unprecedently prosperous
for their business.

THE CATHOLIC FAIR.
John Gsffeny Gets the Gold Watch,
Mayor Aldrich the Cane, Clara
Lynch the Necklace and
Mrs. Stewart the Chair.

Never in the history of Wichita was SO
large crowd gathered ct church fair as
was present at the Catholic fair last night,
and never, perhaps, In any city was so great
an interest manifested in the voting,
especially for the gold watch. There was
splendid work done on both sides, but the
railroad men were too well organized for
their opponents, and consequently carried
off the prize. The Fort Scott, the Santa Fe
and the Eagle Line joined hands and began
to Ia ytheir plans as soon as the candidates
were put in the field. The open voting
closed at 1l:30, after which there was fifteen
minutes secret voting. During this time
Peter Bogue, the head tracklayer of the
Fort Scott company, stood by the box
and kept stuffing rolls of large bills
in as fast as he could until
the time had expired. The other side did
remarkably well, and what they contributed
was done more in the interest of the church
than to win the watch. As q matter of
course, ii Captain Carey had made up his
mind TO bave the watch for his
son he could easily have done
SC. The writer saw Captain Carey
vote several dollars for Mr.. Catchy. AL
though the interest manifested was great, the
bes, of feeling existed among the rival sides.
The watch brought 81, 1247O. The record

1t took until after II o'clock to count the
money and decide the contest, therefore there
was no time to attend to the drawing of
prizes, and owing to this ana the fact that
there is an immense quantity of silver ware
and other articles to be auctioned of, the
fair will continue Monday and Tuesday
nights, and possibly it will take a night
longer to get every thing slaughtered out.
As the articles to be auctioned off hs We been
contributed to the fair, they will be sold for
just what they will bring. and good bargains
may be obtained.

MONKEY INTELLIGENCE.

A Claim That 1t Does Not Display ITSELF
i'm II Penchant for Mimicry.
The authority of Scripture q Kings,
k:xxii) warrants the belief that monkeys
formed an article of commerce as much
as twenty-eight centuries ago, SO that
no lack of time can have prevented us
from studying their habits: yet it would
hardly be an overestimate to say that
nine hundred and ninety mine of thou
sand men persist in the belief that mon-
keys have a passion for initiating the
actions of their two-handed kinsman;
that. for instance, an ape, seeing his
master shave himself, would take the
first opportunity to get hold of razor
and scrape or cut his own throat Now,
how could that idea ever survive this
age of geological gardensp Marcus
Aurelius heldthat the sum of all ethics
was the rule to '.love truth and justice,
and live without anger, in the midst of
lying and unjust men," Yet the occu-
patton of monkey-trainer would put
that tolerance to severe test.
With an intelligence surprising
that of the most intelli-
gent dog, a monkey combines an ultra
mulish degree of obstinacy, and, rather
than initiate the demonstrative manipu-
latons of the kindest instructor. he will

and merely natural result of ana'om-
ical analogies. An angry hamadryas-
baboon, for instance, will strike the
ground with h s fist, not because any
Christian visitors have ever set him
that bad example, but because his tore
fathers have thus for ages vented their.
wrath on the rocks of the Nubian high

cause his fingers are deft and long. and
his jaws very short. Nay, that same
capuchin IN nkey, admitted to seat at
the breakfast table OF punctilious FAM

of court by sticking his head in the puti-

professional trainers may modify that
