HOSPITAL DEDICATION
IMPROVEMENTS AT THE GOOD
SAMARITAN INSPECTED
Additional Rooms for Patients and
Increased Facilities-Service
of Prayer and Song

The extensive additions that have just
been completed at the Good Samaritan
hospital, at Seventh and Pearl streets,
consisting Of several new rooms and
number of changes in the general plan OF
the entire building, were thrown open for
the inspection, Of the friends Of the ~sti-
tuition yesterday afternoon, and at the
same time the rooms were formally dedi-
Gated in a brief but impressive service.
This service was conducted by Rev. John
Gray, representing Bishop Johnson. who
is now in Europe. 1t was attended by an
audience which filled therooms and hall
ways in the front part of the building
The choir of St. Pauls Episcopal church.
of which Rev. Gray is rector, was in at
tendance and furnished the music.
The service began with the process
sional hymn, followed by the magnifi-
cat, "My Soul Doth Magnify the Lord" ;"
After the recital of the creed and prayer,
Rev. Gray delivered short address, in
which he called attention to the fact that
although the hospital was directly under
the control of the Episcopal church, yet
patients of every religious opiniH were
admitted upon equal terms with those
of that church, and ministers of all re-
ligious faiths were cordially welcomed
to minister to their patients. He gave
grateful recognition of the remem-
brances Of the hospital by many persons
not connected with the Episcopal church.
and pointed out the grand work OF char
ity that was being done by the institu-
ton.
After the address the choir moved to
the open door of the new room dedicated
to the memory of the late H. w. Latham.
former secretary of the hospital board,
and sang the hymn, "For all the saints
who from their labors rest" The SER
vice then closed with prayer and bene-
diction.
The improvements, which have been
made at a cost exceeding $500, have
greatly increased the room in the hos
pital and the institution is now as well
equipped as any of the kind mNhe city
Four new patients rooms have been con-
structed and new quarters for the nurses
and hospital staff have been furnished in
the basement. During the past several
months the hospital has been doing
great deal of charity work, and at no
time have there been less than two char
ity patients. No sufferer is turned away
regardless of religious belief. The hos
pital is in the charge of Mrs. F. w. Pahl
as matron, and there are six regular
nurses always there. Additional nurses
are engaged from time to time as the
necessities of the institution demand
The board of trustees is as follows: Rt
Rev. Joseph H johnson, Rev. John Gray
Gregory Perkins. Jr., Mrs. Mark S. Sew
erance, Mrs George f. Bugbee, Mrs
j. NJ Elliott, Mrs. Marshal Wotkyns,
Mrs. c. c. Clacus, Mrs. Joseph H. John

Curbstone Preachers Shake Park Dust
From Their Coats
There was an atmosphere Of rest and
quiet in the neighborhood of Sixth street
park yesterday and for the first time in
many moons the curbstone preachers
with their wailings were absent Many
complaints have recently been made to
the police by property owners in the
vicinity Of the park against this class
Of reformers who rob the Sabbath Of its
quiet by their wild haranguing from the
sidewalk, and last week 1t was decided
to take tine names of several offenders
so complaints could be issued against
them, and they could be prosecuted in
the courts The preachers themselves
must have heard of this move, for yes
terday they did not show up and quiet
reigned.

ern California.
This will was written by DR.. Edgar
himself, and Is dated July Is, 1893, and
was witnessed by H. K. s. O'Melveny
and I. N. Moore, both of this city.
Attached to the will is codicil under
the date of August 23, 1894, by which
some Of the previous bequests are re-
voked and other bequests are made.
Testator first determines that three
trustees and at most four among those
named, will be sufficient, and one of
these to be from San Bernardino.
The further privilege is accorded the
widow Of improving or building upon
any property belonging to testator's half
tion of his estate If she so chooses, but
the land or property improved will con-
tinue to belong TO his estate.
To the Historical society the further
bequest is made of an old shotgun pre-
sented to testator by Captain James
Stuart, of the Rifle regiment, when he
died of wounds received in battle with
Indians in Southern Oregon, June 15
1857.
After these bequests are made testa-
tor desires the bulk of the funds in the
hands of the trustees may go to the
benefit of the museum and library, here
tofore alluded to, connected with the
surgeon-general U. S. A. and the pre-
vious bequest is revoked and the fol-
lowing specific bequests made instead:
To the museum four-f1fths of said
amounts, and one-f1fth to the library.
The bequest to the Ladies' Benevolent
society is revoked, the organization no
longer existing.
To the two sons of testator's friend,
General r. Murray, late surgeon-gen-
eral United States army, is left $500
each.
To Robert L. Ross, son of Judge Frs
kline M. Ross, $1,000.
To his friend, DR.. J. E. Cowles of Los
Angeles, the large and smaller pictures
Of Professor Gross, the picture Of Pro-
fessor Daniel Drake and Professor Lewis
Pasteur, the photo of testator's last hos
pital in the U. S. A. at Drum barrack,
and three other photos.
The incidental remark Is made in the
codicil that the bequests to the asy-
lums of Los Angeles are small but in
time they may get more from his es-
tate.
The codicil was witnessed by c. F..
Gillon and Dalton Wheeler, both of
Los Angeles.
While II is not possible to fix abso-
lutely the value Of the estate, it is
thought that it will aggregate about
5000, 900. The Edgar block on Broad
way, the block at Seventh and Main
and the tract on Washington street are
the most important holdings of real ese
tate.

stodo infor nodvandigheten att sjelf-
va bestamma en- dag for den stora
minnesfest, som fromheten och an
dakten absolut forbade Hvardera
kyrkan loste fragan pa sitt satt.
Den osterlandska kyrkans med slit
for mystik och idealism anlagda
skaplynne uppfann en- symbolisk
grund for dagens bestammande.
Kristus var den nye Adam, som
skulle godtgora, hvad den gamle
forbrutit, men den gamle Adam
skapades enligt skriften pa sjette
dagen. Foljaktligen ansag denna
kyrka den 6 januari sasom dagen
for den nye Adams forsta uppenba-
relse. -
Den vesterlandska kyrkan, som.
