The German Catholic congregation Of
this city, the st. Alphonsus, will within
three weeks break ground on the build
inga that will constitute an extensive
improvement in the property Of the
congregation. 1t has been decided to
build q brick monastery building in the
rear ofthe school house on South Mar
ket street on the ground now used as a
play ground for the children Of the
schools. Leiner & Faris are preparing
the plans, and 1t is expected that work
on the foundations will be started early
in October. This move was made more
or less imperative on account of the
crowded condition Of the school build
ing, where 600 children attend school:
The top floor has heretofore been used
az residencefor the Capuchin fathers
in charge ot.the worlsof the congrega.
ton and schools. When the new build
ing is completed, next spring, the priests
will reside in the monastery building,
and the top floor OF the school building
viii be cut up into school rooms
The new structure will be patterned
after the style Of the monasteries OF
the middle age and will be an i'm.
posing building Of three stories. The
ground plan occupies space 10oxl2O
feet making 1t plain that the building
will be large one, aud it is said that
it will be one OF the most complete Of
the Capuchin monasteries.

this, while the extension ladders, hooks
and axes hang on the sides. The body
Of the wagon will hold asmuch hose as
the Atlantic wagon. The step behind
for the men to stand on Is particularly
broad and commodious. The machine
