Amueenaents,

The Los Angeles theater is the only
play house open this week, and Uncle
Toms Cabin is doing an excellent busi-
ness each night. The play always draws.
and the company playing here this week
seems to have made hit with the au-
diences.
Richards & Pringle's famous Georgia
Minstrels come to the Los Angeles
theater Monday. December 23d, for four
nights and grand Christmas matinee.
The management announces that the
members of this company are all artists,
from top to bottom-the finest vocalists,
the cleverest comedians, the liveliest
dancers, and combined they are the
finest minstrel party on the road. The
beauty Of the Georgia Minstrels is that
they give genuine negro minstrels, and
not such mixtures as many companies
infiict upon us. Billy Kersands and his

THE RECEIVING HOSPITAL.
IL IL Not Provided rOr In che Nex
ARRANGEMENT.

IL IL Not Provided FOR In thc Nexr
Arrangement.
1t appears that the city is to have no
Receiving Hospital after all. II will be
remembered that last spring, before the
old City Hall was vacated by the city
officers, 1t was demonstrated that there
was an urgent need for Receiving Hog
pital in the immediate vicinity Of tha
Police Station. The only place the CITY
has possessed where Injured peopie
could be taken for treatment was z mis-
cradle hole in the Jail where all the
tramps and vagabonds are confined. It
made no difference whether the patient
was q woman or man. the only spsce
devoted to the medical department was
this ll'smelling place. Such q stir WAS
made at that time that rooms
were rented near by, but they were NOT
used long, as the other occupants of the
building objected. It was then said
that when the Council moved out and
the City Clerk moved to the new City
Hal! portion of the vacant quarters
would be reserved for Receiving Hospi-
tai. Believing that this would be done.
the matter was dropped and the public
waited to see II the promises would be
carried out. EARLY in the summer the
old City Hall was vacated and the Couu-
Gil turned it over to the Police Depart.
ment. 1t being understood that Receiy-
Ing Hospital would be provided for in
the new arrangement Of the building.
The Building Committee OF the Council
and the Board of Police Commissioners
then arranged plans for the interior Of
the ground floor of the old Citv
Hall. It was not deemed necessary to
give the best part of the building to the
sick and injured, and those who had the
arrangement OF the plans set aside quar-
ters at the back of the building where
the battery for the fire alarm system was
situated. 1t was proposed to tear out q
partition and make q fairly good-sized
room, lighted and ventilated by sky
lights. Fine quarters were given to the
Chief of Police; the Clerk had e room to
himself; the Captain was given another
room the detectives had another; a pri-
vate Office was set aside for the Chief; q
reading-room for the idle policemen was
even created, and the Commissioners re-
served room for themselves, which
they will use once q week. The Health
Officer objected to the quarters set aside
for the sick and injured, but
no attention was paid to his
demand for better accommodations
except that the contractor doing the
work received orders from some one not
to do anything toward the Receiving
Hospital. The other offices have been
fitted up in grand style and are nearly
ready for occupation, but the Receiving
Hospital has moi been provided for and the
contractor states that he has no orders
to build it. The Police Surgeon has
healed over thousand patients in the
City Prison during the year. and all in
the worst imaginable quarters for such q
purpose. The neglect of the Building
Committee and of the Police Commis-
sioners in the matter is beginning to
create considerable comment.

A PRACTICAL JOKE

Which was Play ed ON the Pur-
chaser Of n Lottery Ticket.
The boys at the Wolfskill depot put up
rather harrassing practical joke last
Tuesday on Pete Harvey, who assists at
the lunch counter in the waiting-room.
Pete's full name is said to be Peter
Charles Parnell Harvey. Like many
other estimsble citizens, Pete is in the
habit of buying lottery tickets. This
last month he secured one which bore
the number $4,000. The drawing took
place on Tuesday, and he waited anx-
iously during the afternoon for returns.
1t happened that Steinman, in the
baggage Office, knew of Pete's interest
in the drawing, and when he came back
from town he brought printed ticket
containing the winning numbers. He
began to read them off, while another
man copied them down. Pete, noticing
what was going on, came up and looked
over the shoulder of the man who was
writing. Steinman noticed him, and
promptly read off the number "a OO0 and
allotted a very liberal prize to it, Of
which Pete's share would have been
$4,000.
Pete caught his breath with sudden
gasp, and then gave loud exclamation.
Steinman stopped reading, and the boys
all crowded around to learn what was
the matter. The game was worked go
successfully that none Of them except
those who put up the joke suspected that
there was any doubt about Pete'e winning
the money. One by one, when the
opportunity presented itself, they were
let into the joke, and helped it along.
Poor Pete convinced that he had sud-
denly become rich man ran around the
depot shaking hands with every body in
half.craxed condition of mind. The
first thing which he did was to throw up
his place in the lunch counter, and he
promised Mr.. Reinhart, his employer, q
horse and buggy as soon as he could get
down town and buy it. The next man
to learn Of his generosity was the bar
keeper of the hotel saloon, whom he said
he would present with a half-interest in q
good place down town. He promised
the boys rich presents all around, and
then started off down town telling every
body that he met OF his good luck.
The first bulletin board that he
came ACROSS he consulted in order
to confim the good news. Lol
The number 5000 was not
on the board at all, nor anything like it.
He tried several others, His heart sinking
lower and lower all the time. He turned
about and hurried back to the depot. In
the meantime Mr.. Reinhart, In order to
keep up the joke, had put strange man
behind the lunch counter, and poor Pete
when he returned found, as he supposed
that his place was taken. When the
boys discovered how terrified he was
they telt that the joke had gone fai
enough, and explanations and apologies
followed. Pete was voted first-rate fel.
low for his good intentions, which for.
tune had not been kind enough to allow
him to carry out.

UTAH MORTGAGE COMPANY.
A Tribute to the President of New Insti-
stitutiOn.

The Garden City Herald has the follow
ing notice of Mr.. A. Fl. Atkinson, presi-
dent of the Utah Mortgage company, which
is now doing business in the Scott-Auer-
bach building in this city:
A. H. Atkinson will leave with his fam
lily on Friday of this week for Ogden, Utah,
where he expects to take up permanent
residence. He will represent loan com
pany, in which he is a stakeholder and
largely interested. We are extremely
sorry,to lose Mr.. Atkinson, as he has been
a good and useful citizen. He has taken a
deep interest in everything pertaining to
the public welfare and has large interests
in the city. Heis a stakeholder in the Fin
ney County National bank and,will still re
main in the directory of that institution.
He is largely interested in real estate in
the city, and has not tried to dispose of
anything. We have no doubt that when
times get better he will return to look
after his interests, and that his invest
ments in Garden city will eventually bring
him back. We hope so, at least, and hun
dreds of others join in the wish. Mr.. Ad-
kinson is a public spirited man, and has
taken an active interest in those things
that promised to build up our city. He is
one of the officers and a stakeholder in the
Garden City..Nickel Plate railway, and has
done everything in his power to secure its
completion THE HERALD extends its good
wishes and hopes that he may be happy
and prosperous in his new home.

He Leaves His Manners Behind Him
When He Starts Out on His Travels.
1t has been asked by NJ. Lablache, in
lie Voyage de NJ. Perrichon" Ia play
worthy of Moliere), why the French, who
are SO witty at home, are so stupid
abroad
Perhaps am only furnishing an ex-
ample of this peculiar effect of frontier
crossing in asking the following ques
ton: How is it that the English. who
are so kind, amiable, considerate and
unaffected at home, are so rude, over
bearing, and inconsiderate abroad? 1t is
a question that have often asked my
self as looked at certain Britons taking
their holiday rambles on my native
shore.
am fain to come to the conclusion
that man out of his country is for a
time not his own self To be seen at his
best, he must have the setting of his
natural surroundings First along, he is
like fish out of water making great eff
forts to on swimming naturally. but I'M
able to use its tail gracefully and becom-
ngly, for want of its natural element
The English residing on the continent
have found their feet, as it were; they
have learned the language of their
adopted country, and, having made
themselves a new home, have an OBJ
ject in being pleased with it.
But the wandering Briton is like the
rest of us: he sets out from home with
the firm conviction that he is leaving the
most wonderful country in the world.
He perhaps starts with the idea that
everybody admits it. He has probably
not gone far in his travels before he sees
that he may have reason to modify that
opinion. But he does not enjoy the idea
much; it would be wounding to his nat
ural vanity, to say the least of it. Why
not put on a little buster and pretend Is
see nothing very remarkably fine? 1t is
much more comfortable to say: "Ah,
yes, that scenery's not half bad, really;
but, you know. think these things have
been awfully overpraised. These old
churches, no doubt, are very fine, most
of them; but it's wonderful how sick

dozen or So" Having taken up this
course, he is prepared to stand quite I'M
moved in presar ce of the grandest Alpine
sunrise, or Ves Ivius lighting up the mid
night sky.
There is another thing that goes sadly
against his grain, and rubs him up the
wrong way. He finds that his French,
that used to sound so nice at home when
he occasionally aired little quotation, is
apt to raise a smile to the lips of the ma
tives You must not imagine that he
blames himself, or that it ever occurs to
him that he is the worst linguist in the
world Oh, mol He simply wonders
why those COMPOUNDED foreigners can't
learn English, puts on disguised look,
and takes to giving his orders in tone
of bored contempt, particularly exas-
perating to the recipients of them. His
hat SENS to grow to his head, he lounges
in the best seats at the theatre in his
tweed suit, and succeeds in making
himself generally disagreeable as well as
conspicuous. One of his most objection
