guest of Prof Garcelon. Dir. Fabiana
is an Italian by birth. but has been in
all parts of the world. He spent eighteen
years in Paris. four years in London and
mas been in this country the greater part
Of fifteen years.
Sisnor Fabiana is a rather old gentle
man, slightly grayed, and is the embodi-
ment of refinement He is very modest
concerning his ability as a musician.
When a boy he was known as a mu-
steal prodigy. He easily mastered the
most difficult music and upon any in
strument, but his favorite instrument has
been the harp and he has devoted himself
to sacred music. He has brought tears to
the eyes of nearly all the crowned heads
of Europe with his wonderful music and
possesses over 500 letters from kings.
queens, dukes, earls. etc. that are worth
a small fortune.
Mr.. Fabiana does not seek notoriety.
and it was wl..- great hesitancy that he
told these facts concerning himself.
During his stay in the United States he
has made his headquarters in Boston.

ALL BECAUSE OF A TRADE.
Mrs. Williams Wants a Divorce from
Her Husband

Mrs. Pearl Williams yesterday filed 4
petition IL the district court, asking for
a divorce from James Williams. Just n
year ago today they were married in
Newton and came to Wichita to i've.
Some few weeks after the ceremony
Mrs. Williams traded a can OF cherries
for some fruit to a neighbor. When
her husband heard of the deal he raised
a rumpus. She thought that she had
made good trade and was priding her
self on her eye for business when her
husband put damper on her ardor. She
alleges in her petition that the more he
thought about that trade the madden he
got and started to swear at her. The
petition says that he swore continuously
for six hours, and all because she had
traded a can OF cherries for some neigh
boris goods.
Afterwards he used a great deal of vile
language she alleges, and finally, on
November OF this year. she could stand
it no longer and left home. She asks
for a divorce and to be restored TO her
maiden name of Pearl Wilson.

CHILDREN WERE HAPPY.
Plymouth Congregational Sunday
School Held Exercises asst NIGHT

School Held Exercises Last Night.
Last night all the members of the Ply
mouth Congregational Sunday school
were given a Christmas treat at the
church.
The church was beautifully decorated
with evergreen and holly. Most artistic
were the decorations in the church aud
itcrium. Great streamers and festoons of
ey ergreen were suspended in loops from
the ceiling, terminating in a beautiful
bell, which hung just over the rostrum.
a short program was given by the chill
dIen, which was very entertaining. Every
number was well given. A special feature
of the program was the orchestra music
by the four little Houston children. The
instruments Used were the piano, violin,
cCrnet and piccaIo. The Oldest of these
children cannot be more than twelve
years of age, and the music they produced
last night was excellent.
After the entertainment the audience
retired to another room. where the teach
ers and superintendent bad made fish
rond," In which each member of the Sun
day school was entitled 10 fish for a
present. The infants class was given u
big Christmas pie, which was full Of pres
onts.
Refreshments were served to all and
all the children received little remem-
brances.
H W. Darling, the superintendent, could
not be present. but a vote was taken in
which the Sunday school showed its ap-
probation of his services by holding up
their hand. Some of the children were
so enthusiastic they held up both hands.

New York and came west more than
thrifty years ago and settled in Michigan
He took the train for the west one day
and came to the end OF the road-Newton-
Then he drove over into Butler county
to look at some land. He wanted to look
at Sedgwick county, but could find no
conveyance. so he walked.
In after years, in telling of the incident,
he said that as he came 10 the top of the
hill east of the city and looked upon
the broad valley of the Arkansas river
he said 10 himself: Here is a great
opportunity for development"
Taking that as his cue. he purchased
many acres of land close to the village
OF Wichita. He added TO his possessions
from time 70 time and at the time Of
his death was one Of the largest land
owners IN Wichita. He now owns Merri-
man park, the site OF the Country club.

over to them, however. but directed that
they should be turned over when he died
He still retained control of the property
Mr.. Merriman was a man OF strong
character. thoroughly upright and just
in all his dealings. He was at all times
cheerful and pleasant with his acquaint-
ances, and none but the highest words of
praise have ever been said concerning
him or his family. He was on visit
10 his son at the time of his death and
the remains were taken back TO Michigan

pointed by the board several weeks aga
to report upon the ACCESSIBILITY of erect
ing a new high school building brought
IN their report last night. The chair
man of the committee said in part:
THE crowded condition Of the schools
OF the city both the public and high
schools, shows that we must have moro
school room. The high school building.
while it is not large enough to accom-
fnodate it's students, would be large
enough to relieve the crowded condition
OF our ward schools. The committee,
therefore. recommends that the board pc
tition legislature TO pass an act enabling
the city to issue bonds TO the extent of
$4,000 for the purpose of buying lots
and erecting a high school building. and
that a tax of five mills be levied against
the city for school purposes"
The levy of five mills is more than
is absolutely necessary at present. but
# that levy is made sufficient money
will have accumulated in the school fund
TO pay off bonds when they are due.
The board accepted the report of the
committee and the same committee were
appointed 10 prepare the act for presen-
tation at next term of legislature.
4 motion to purchase twelve new
