GIVE ANNIVERSARY PARTY

Four generations were at the family
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Fritz Schnitz-
to celebrate the centennial anniversary
of Mr.. Christopher Schn!tzler, the father
of Fritz Schnitzler, who was mayor or
Burgomaster for twelve years of the city
of Kappishausen in Germany. He was
a distinguished man in his time and coun-
try and when he died at the venerable
age of eighty-five there was universal
mourning in Kappishausen. Thirtytwo
years hence will occur the centennial an
niversary of the birth of the Wichita
man ~ it is hoped. and believed, that
the American branch of this family will
be no less popular than the German or
parent stock was. Mr.. Schnitzler now
has thirty-one relatives, by blood and
marriage, in Wichita and thirty-two
years hence his descendants viii prob
ably have reached the 100 mark.
The event was one OF great social con-
sequence and every guest-about fifty,
and principally relatives-enjoyed them
selves very much. Mrs. Schnitzler had
fine luncheon prepared for them and
between times punch was passed
around that would do credit 10 the hos
pitality of tEe great burgOmaster whose
memory was honored in the far-on west
ern continent, four thousand miles or
more from the land of his fame and his
glory.
Hearts-fine. round red hearts. denotins
good honest blood-were the adornments
and hearts were fittingly always trumps
in the whist games which were a feature
of the family reunion to honor family
ancestor. Carl SchnitZler was the winner
of the gentlemen's prize, Miss Sophia
Kleintz was the winner of the ladies'
-aize. while John Alden carried off The
honors of the other prize.
Until midnight this happy family con-
tinued TO enjoy themselves and when they
all left it was with wish that Mr.. and
Mrs. Schnitzler may live to see their own
centennial anniversary observed and Gel
ebrated by their relatives and their
friends.
These who were present were Mr.. anc
Mrs Fritz SchnitZler, Mr.. and Mrs Otto
Kopplin, Mr. and Mrs. William Schnitz-
