ADJUSTMENTS

The spring and summer dramatic season will open at the Hardwick the ater May l. with the Noble Dramatic Stock company when Manager Stechan will inaugurate the peoples popular prices at 10, 20 and 30 cents. By giv- ing dollar performances at popular prices the management hope to inter est a very large following during the season. The Hardwick theater will be made the coolest and most comfortable place in Phoenix to spend a pleasant evening and nothing will be left un- done to cater to the demands of it's patrons. The entire range of the drama will be given during the season with the introduction of modern po- lite vaudeville acts by Will Kuhn, an artist in this line of popular amuse- ment. The company will be further augmented by it's own band and or chestra which alone will be an inn portant amusement factor. Reserved seats can be had at Goodman's drug store.

worship, representing a cost upwards of $15,OO0.
 We also wish to express our appre- citation of Dr. Halsey as a pastor. He has responded heartily to every call of need, visiting the sick and ministering to those in trouble and sorrow.
 No pastor could have been more ac- tive or mindful of the needs of others in the arduous labors of this exacting field.
 Our prayers and our God speed shall go with Dr. Halsey and his esteemed family wherever they may go
 Resolved, That a copy of these re- solutions be spread upon our church minutes, a copy be given for publica- ton in the Phoenix daily papers>and a copy be given to Dr. HaIsey.
 Phoenix, April 26, 1905.
 It has been known for sometime that Dr. Halsey has had this action under consideration but those who have sought to retain him in this field have given it as little publicity as possible hoping that he might change his mind He expects to go back to his former home in New York for an extended rest and perhaps to engage in the ministry there as he has had more or less cor respondence with various churches, but just what pastorate he will accept he has not decided upon or at least has not announced it.

THE SONG OF SILENCE

Sweet are the songs we're wont to sing When the heart of congenial love is
 young, But the dearest songs the world may
 know
 Are the songs we always leave un-
 sung. When like meets like and silent love Diffuses her balmy sweets around, There is a subtle peace that steals Sereneiy, mutual, and profound, Into each heart of discontent- Than spoken words more eloquent. A lulling, true sincerity, A measure full and deep and strong, That lives through all the passing
 years
 In endless, grand unspoken song.

DR. HALSEY'S RESIGNATION
Will Return to His Former Home 1T
 New York.

At the prayer and business meeting of the First Baptist church last night, Pastor Lewis Halsey presented his re- signatiOn to take effect June 1. He stated that it had been his purpose for some time to rest for a few months and that this seemed to be an oppor- tune time for taking such rest and asked that the church consider his re- signation as final. His wishes in this respect were acceded to and his re- signation was accepted. The following resolutions were them presented and unanimously passed:
 Whereas, our beloved pastor, Rev. Lewis Halsey has rendered to this church his resignation, thus severing the pleasant relations which have ex- isted for more than eight years. Be it resolved by the members of the First Baptist church assembled in business session that we hereby express to Dr. Halsey and to all to whom the greet ing may come, that we deeply appre- ciate the valuable and successful ser vices he has rendered during all the years he has labored in our midst. When Dr. Halsey came to us, our church numbered but few more than 100 members, today we have 235. Dur ing his pastorate, the longest and most successful in our history. we have pass ed through some trying experiences. We suffered the loss by fire of our house of worship. In these difficult times Dr. HaIsey has been a wise counselor, a hard working pastor and a consecrated leader. Largely through
 his untiring devotion to the welfare of
 the church we have erected and all
 most completed a splendid house of

a feature that alone will be worth the admission fee. "She ain't to say beauty, but her pies suits me" says Stubbins, and it all ends happily
 There is great variety in the scenes and those who attend will surely en- joy themselves and at the same time promote worthy enterprise. The ad- mission fee will be fifty cents for adults school children twenty five cents.
