THE CATHOLIC FAIR.

The annual Catholic fair opened in Gar
field Hall yesterday afternoon under the
most favorable auspices. 1t was not so
thoroughly advertised rs it usually is,
owing to the fact that Father Then was
SO extremely busy during the past two
weeks, arranging for the Column bus day
festivities which was such a pronounced
success. Nevertheless the attendance
yesterday WAS very satisfactory and last
night the hall was crowded by as happy a
lot of people as one could wish to see. 1t
is. of course. in the hands of the ladies of
the church both single and married and
both classes are vying WITH one another as
to which can be more pleasing and smile
most graciously on the visiters. To be
candid the honors seem to be even SO far.
The hall is nicely decorated and the booths
are not only very nicely arranged but
contained some very handsome novelties
which will fall to the lot of the
lucky ones before the fair is
over. A splendid feature of the fair is the
fine music every evening by Shaw's full
orchestra of fourteen pieces. This will
make the fair great attraction for so
many people who love good music. The
musical program for this evening will be
as follows:
Polonaise-Inaugural. .............G ungle
election-Erminie ............. Milloecker
Medley Overture-Bon Ton. .. Hermann
Valse-f Eustictiana. .......... Waldtenfer
Selection-Ernani... .................N erdi
Overture-Enoch Arden. Isenman
Selection-Pirates of Penzante. Sullivan
Overture-Belle of the Valley. Bouillion
Selection-Lurie de Lammermoore
.Donizette
Medley Overture-Hap Hazard. -. Gungle
In addition TO the fair proper, the ladies
have dining tables in the hail and will
serve both dinner and supper during the
entire fair. They are setting up a fine bill
of fare, as good as can be found anywhere,
and to this feature they invite the special
attention of business men and others who
desire TO patronize them.
It is quite an interesting place to 60 to
and they can look for crowded houses
every evening at least.

JUDGE SNYDER OF KINGMAN CAN'T
STAND CALAMITY ANY LONGER.
He Tenders His Services From Now Till
the Last Dog is Dead to the Con-
gressional Republican Committee.
Mr.. Slime, an Alliance Chairman, Is Also
Said to Have rendered His Services to
the State Republican Committee

Late last night Frank H. Goods of this
city, chairman of the county congressional
committee, received official information
that Judge Snyder of Kingman had left
the calamity outfit and had rendered his
services to the Republican congressional
committee to use them in any way they
may see fit till election day, for the pur-
pose of retiring Jerry Simpson to private
life where his opportunities or defaming
his state, district and people will not be SO
great.
Snyder's withdrawal from the Populists
party is a great blow to that organization
in this district where he has been a power
in the reform movement for years. Four
years ago he was the Union Labor candi-
date for congress and made strong cam
paign.
In fact 1t was his teachings that paved the
way for the success OF Jerry Simpson two
years ago. He is much ADLER man than
Simpson and. besides, he is said to be q
scholarly man which Simpson can make
no claims to. He has been in the reform
movement for years. but, like SO many
others, he has got sick and tired of it when
he sees demagogues put in the saddle and
every movement gotten UP controlled by
unprincipled fellows and finally sell out to
the schemers and tricksters of the Demo-
cratic party. Judge Snyder is tired of
using his brains in the organization of
side shows for the Democracy. Owing to
the lateness of the hour it was not prac-
ticable to obtain the full particulars be-
yond what are above stated. In connec-
ton with that came the news from King
man also, but not official, however, that
Mr.. Slime, the secretary of the Peoples
party committee of Kingman county had
rendered his services to the Republican
state committee. While this is not official
it is stated as fact

THE LITTLE PUZZLE

THE LITTLE PUZZLE
Who Is there In the city who has moi
noticed the little puzzle that has been dis
played on all the biiI-boards, fences and
walls around town and b ow many of you
have been able to solve It. No doubt
many, but to those who have not we would
say that it is the announcement of the
coming Of ons of Americas greatest
amusement enterprises. Chas. L. Shilling
Ministries. The solution is Coming, One
Shilling and the Pie-rats of Peasants"
The Pirates of Penzance is the name OF
the new grand spectacular first part, taken
from the popular comic opera of that name
and is one of the most gorgeous produc-
tions ever presented with an organization
of this kind. The scenery is magnificent.
the costumes elaborate and the music and
singing charming.
In this part of the entertainment is also
introduced the most laughable of absurdi-
ties, 1.-The Policemen's Chorus" which is
followed by an olio of incompatible
specialties. There are also plantation
scenes, grand marches, Greek and Roman
gladiatorial contests, and the latest city
craze, a genuine southern cake walk, max
ing in ali one of the most artistic and COM
plete entertainments ever presented in
this city.

HELP, HELPn HTLpm
Pitiful Cries for Aid From tho Fu-fonists o
sumner County.

| A dozen fusionists Of Sumner county
were in the city Sunday, and they went
home about as blue a SET of fellows as ever
| returned from such q hospitabie city as
the Peerless Princess They wandered
| around the city mysteriously all day in
punches of two. to divert suspicion, but it
| is hard matter for Summer county del
| egation of Democrats and Alliance men to
hide their political tactics. even in Wichita,
| from men who know them so well When
the EAGLE man interviewed part Of them
about their mission to Wichita, they
studied for little while and finally one OF
them cieverly remarked:
''Oh, we heard you had some money
here, and came mp TO bet"
| This remark was scarcely out of his
mouth when Andy Richards OF Yelling
ton said:
"Weil, you need not have come
so far; if you really want TO
bet I could accommodate you. but see
ing as you have come so far will not dis
appoint you" and at this point indicated
his desire to bet any sum from Si00 to
s., 600 that Long would carry Sumner
county. This knocked his friend out, who,
looking at his watch. suddenly bethoughs
himself of an engagement he had arranged
for that very hour.
Now, then, the fact of the matter is, the
delegation came up with a piteous cry of
''help" hanging on their lips. They made
a poll of Sunne county and found it in
such an unsatisfactory condition that they
determined they must have help from
somewhere, and hence came up to see both
. Oh |,
tee. Money is what they were after, and
they were given to understand that Simp-
sons friends needed every dollar they bad
for this county. The delegation divided
into two parts after arriving in the city,
and the Alliance portion of it went to the
Alliance committeeman. while the
Democratic portion Of it went to
the Democratic committeeman. The
fact that the very best politicians in Sum-
ner county composed the delegation shows
the seriousness of their case. The Demo-
Gratis were Os Hackney and George T.
Pitts Of Wellington, chairman and secre-
tary respectively of the Democratic party,
while they insisted on Sam Woodson COM
ing along on account of his wonderful
talent us politician and diplomat and
also on account of his position as the coun-
ty congressional committeeman. The Al
lance part of the delegation consisted of
John Hinchcliff of Wellington, Pat
O'Connor of Caldwell, and others who did
not have much to say. Mr.. Hinchcliff is
deputy district clerk of Sumner county,
while Pat O'Connor is the famous Pat
who made so many unsuccessful raids on
the Cherokee strip a few years ago. The
latter is a very shrewd politician and
very valuable man to have in such posi-
tion, or in such mission as he was on
yesterday. They made good pleas and all
that sort of thing, but they went home
with less money than they came, to the ex-
tent, at least, of their hotel bills. If any
body will tell these gentlemen during the
next two weeks that Sedgwick county is
all enthusiasm for Simpson, they will be
strongly tempted, after what they heard
here Sunday, to say some unchristion
things in reply.

on Columbus" last evening to large
and select audience at the First Presby-
terian church. His exposition of Column
bus, and the incentives which actuated
and directed him, were inspired, and his
career was marked as by the hand of Him
who destines nations, and moves the hearts
Of men that right and truth may prevail,
and Gods purposes established The lee
ture abounded in strong portrayals of the
march of Justice and the civilizations aris-
ing from pure Christianity. While he
sketched the career of Columbus as q
brave and daring seaman, inspired with y
high purpose, his application was entirely
original. and new ideas presented in glow

thoughts. The music was excellent, and
