HELP THE HOSPITAL.
The Managers Ask the Public For
D0natiOne.

| Donations.
| The wretched condition of the weather
and streets have prevented the ladies of
the Mission hospital from taking the
subscription paper for the new building
to any except those persons to be found
in the business part of the town, but
the generous response met with from
these indicates that the new building is
all assured fact. As soon as the streets
will permit the paper will be presented
to those in the different parts of the CITY
not yet reached. The ladies are not only
very grateful for the liberal subscriptions
but also for the kind sympathy and en-
couragement expressed.
But while this department. is getting
on so bravely, the hospital has reached a
point Of embarrassment in its current
expenses. 1t has at this time Just cents
in the treasury for the payment of the
bills due at the end of this month. The
demands upon the charitable this winter
have been unusually heavy. The OBJ
structions to business and traffic have
not only raised the price OF provisions,
but put so many people out of employ.
ment who are usually self supporting
that the demands of charity have been
incessant.
But notwithstanding this, tits believed
that the good people of Asheville will
not let the hospital suffer. Will not each
and all try to send small donation lust
now in this time of need, even if they
have subscribed to the building fund !?
And especially are those not regular sub
scribers, asked to lend hand. Will the
strangers here recognize the fact
that large majority of the patients
in the hospital are strangers too,
stranded here without home or friends in
their time Of dependence and need? 81

ye did it unto one of the least of these,
We did it unto me-"
Any sum left at THE CITIZEN office or
the hospital or handed to one of the
managers or one of the staff will be most
gratefully received.

ana GrOaning--SenatO Hustled
TOPEKA, Kan, March 1.-THE as
sembly chamber was the scene of great
excitement last evening during the final
session of the house. The report of the
committee which investigated the police
spstem, created Tor the purpose of en-
forcing the prohibition law, stated that
the prohibition law had been a failure so
iar as 1t applied to the cities of Kansas
and recommended that it govern or
withdraw the state police from such
c'ties' The report was amended, max
ing the withdrawal of the police discre.
tionary with the governor and then
adopted.
The question arose on the adoption of
the report.
Ihe committee investigating the con-
duct of the state house commissioners
several of whom are republicans. de.
hounced the committee and the Farmers
alliance in bitter terms. Rice, repubI-
can rose to speak when Elder demanded
the previous question. Rice protested
against this action and termed il n
'damnable disgrace" Speaker Elder, in
reply. became exceedingly angry and
SAID that the Farmers alliance was run
ming the house and the republicans must
submit whether right or wrong.
Then the excitement began. The gal.
ler'es hlssed, the Farmers alliance cheercd
and the republicans groaned. Elder de-
manded that the lobby and galleries be
cleared. The kissing. shouting and
groaning continued and the chair, unable
TO restore order, said it would give up
the chamber to the voice of the mob
nc sergeant-at-arms and doorkeepers
attempted to clear the lobbics and several
encounters took place. Several senators
VINO were witnesses to the proceedings !
were unceremoniously hustled out of the
chamber. A general riot became immi
nent, but finally Speaker Elder resumed
the chair and said he was ashamed of his
conduct and his motion to close the de-
pate and appealed to all present to main
tam order. Quiet was then restored and
Speaker Elders motion to continue the
committee was adopted
with an amendment.
The house then adjourned

Cob Web Party

The social side Of life in Prescott this winter has been marked by greater number of evening entertainments than any season in its past history, aud il lent and its customs are not as gen erously observed as our devotees to so- cial duties are wont to run their race all in one rivalry of pleasure and gay ety, we predict dull and monoton ous existenc-, to society's doers during the
 remaining days of festivities. Progress
 i've euchre has ragged vehemently, with
 only an inclination now and then to
 vary its monotony by the substitution
 of such pleasures as lemon party,
 descriptive contest, and cobweb en-
 tertainment. In the selection of the
 latter for her friends enjoyment last
 Saturday night Mrs. E. W. Wells dis
 played excellent taste, for while the task of each individual was an srduous and painstakiug one to get into the "parlor," it called forth that mirth and pleasure only to be expected from col lision of & dozen people on the same
 web. The evening was most agIeeably spent and to Mrs. Wells. for her unaf- fected eordiality toward her guests the "cob-web" gathering will ever be re- as one of the most elegant and hospitable ev v-niug socials our city has yet had. Miss Mabel Meany was the first lady to enter the parlor and capture first prize, while Miss Marie Magill, not so fortunate, secured the iass prize. H. D.

Tho Hild-Park Concert
tCommunicated.l

The opera house was tlled with an eager and very large audience to hear the Hild-Park Concert Go. in their first concert. As a whole, the company is splendid one, composed of artists in their respective lines. Herr Hid. as a violinist, has but few superiors in this or any other country. The repose of his playing. the ease with which he cvercomes the most intricate difficult. ties with which hs instrument fairly
 bristles show him the virtuoso; his
 soulful tone and intelligent phrasing show him the true artist His selec- tions last night showed him master in the classical and bravura style both.
 Miss Park, as q cornetist, has beauti- ful, firm tone through the whole com pass of her little instrument. We have heard all the leading cornetists, and can truthfully say that Miss Park com-
 pares favorsbly with them all. Her appearance on the stage is graceful, and her confidence finds it's cause in the knowledge of having conquered her instrument. Miss Jocelyn made a decided hit in her singing, and we re- echo the sentiment of the audience if We declare that she has made herself a favorite with Prescott. Hers is most
 wonderfully sweet contralto, snd her singing places her in the front ranks of all contralto. We would not do justice to the lady were we to omit her perfect enunciation, something so rarely met with and consequently enjoyed the more heartily when heard, as in Miss Jocelyn's singing. MT. Gillette has a very sweet and evenly balanced bsri- tone, and sings with ease and grace. 1t is difficult to write Tn the proper de- gree of pralse of Mrs. Hid, the accom- panist. Her position in the company is the most arduous and responsible one, as true aceompanist will lose his or her identity in that of the soloist and sub- ordinate her work to that of the most showy soloist. Mrs. Hid is splendid aecompsnist, and her playing with her husband made the effect of one harmo- noius whole; there is no sighting of details or drowning the melody.
 We would suggest that the members of the company adhere more strictly to the programme, or at least announce a change, A company like the Hild-
 ark should not alone be after the shekels, but spread musical knowledge
 wherever they go. The Prescott Social
 Club deserve credit for bringing such a company here, and would only add to their laurels it they secured greater quiet during the concert. T.
