HAWAHANS AT ARCADE.
Evelyn Pritchard and Her Royal
Hawaiian Troupe at the Arcade.
Tomorrow, Friday, matinee and
evening will mark one of the biggest
performances ever given in this city,
when Evelyn Pritchard and ; her
troupe of Royal Hawaiian Singers
end musicians will give their initial
show at the Arcade theater. Man
ager Gurdinier at an enormous ex
pense has been able to secure this
troupe of vaudevillians for Friday
and Saturday of this week and from
reports of the biggest vaudeville
houses East, and West, a rare treat
is promised the patrons of the
Arcade theater.
Miss Pribchard, an American girl,
possessed of both looks and talent,
renders successfully some soprano
solos and with her quartet of
Hawaiian singers forms a beautiful
ensemble in their several quartet
and quintet numbers.
The crowning feature of the act is
the Original Hula Hula dance by
Miss Pritchard and company, and is
a true rendition of the dance as done
by the natives of Hawaii.
For . the benefit of the L. D. S,
church members it may be said here,
that the Hawaiian quartet are mem
bers of that church and have suc
cessfully sung in the tabernacles of
the leading towns through Utah, in
cluding Salt Lake City. Adv.
In addition to the above program
Williams and Williams, that classy
duo of entertainers who make their
first appearance tonight and the
fcuture program -of -Universul -pic
tures, are to be shown.

A Curious Army Toast.
Of nil the British regiments the
Welsh fuslleeis. have the most curious
army toast. It fornix purt of the cere
mony of the grand dinner given annu
ally on St. David's day. After tho din
ner the drum major, accompanied by
the goat, the mascot of the fiislleers,
bedecked with rosettes of red and blue
ribbon, ma relies around the table, car
rying a plate of lee ka. Every officer or
guest who has never eaten one beforB
Is obliged to do so. standing on his
chair with one foot on tho table, while
the drummers heat a roll behind bis
chair. He Is then considered u true
Welshman. All the toasts are coupled
with the name of St. David. It is in
much this way that the toast with
hlghlund honors is drunk. Each guest
stands with one foot on his chnlr and
one ou the table and the pipers, a-plp-Ing,
parade the room.

! HOTEL 1 AA1 HOTEL
"Inn" and "Hotel."
The Saxon word "inn." taken In Its
present sense, was probably in use be
fore the ccnqiiest. whereas the purely
French word "hotel." as generally ap
plied to "an Inn of style and preten
sion." dates only from about the time
when olllcers of the British army o(
occupation returned from Paris with
enthusiastic accounts of Meurlce's and
a dozen other bostelrles of the Rue de
Rlvoll and the Hue St. Honore widen
quite threw the humbler accommoda
tion offered by the average British Inn
of that period into the shade. At -tin
commencement of the nineteenth cen
tury Frenchmen f taught the London
Innkeeper the science of hotel keeping,
before the beginning of the twentieth
the Englishman bad begun to return
the compliment. Conntry Life. (. ;
The Palm Tree of Capri.
I knew a palm tree upon Capri. It
stood In select society of shining Dg
leaves and lustrous oleanders. It over
bung the balcony and so looked, far
overlennlng, down upon the blue Medi
terranean. Through the dream mists
of southern Italian noons It looked up
the broad bay .of Naples and saw
vague VesuvliK melting away, or:at
sunset the Isles f the Sirens, or in the
full May moonlight the oranges of .Sor
rento And from the Sorrento where
T.isso was horn It looked across to
pleasani I'osllippo. where Vergil- is
burled, anil to stately Isehia. The piilm
of Capri saw all that was fairest and
must famous in the bay of Naples.--iJcoruo
