Thousand Dollar Job.

DR.. Edward Martin, director of the
department of public health and
charities in Philadelphia, has sent his
resignation to Mayor Weaver. The

Frick Committee Said to Have Sug-
gested His Resignation--He Re
fuses to Step Out. ..

accomplish what the committee is
striving for, the end Of the entire con-
troversy.

of the retreating bandits, they found
that the robbers had completely iso-

DORIS THEATER PACKED.
MinstreIs Of Mahara Make Big Hit at
 Popular Play House.

The Mahara minstrel carnival held forth at the Doris opera house last night. The house, which is one of the largest in the west, was crowded from pit to dome. This is not an un- usual thing for the company as it all ways plays to packed houses-but it has been the exception rather than the rule to pack the Doris this season, al though Manager Berger succeeded Iasc year in booking high grade attractions which are not in the habit of playing towns t/, size of Phoenix.
 To MT. Mahara belongs the honor Of breaking the record this season-as anyone can testify who saw the jam at the SoX office after ' D. m. When the curtain went up on the dazzling first part there was a spontaneous out burst of applause. Special scenery and costumes are always noticeable but never more so than last night. The songs were exceptionally well render ed and the jokes never missed fire.
 All deserve special mention but lack of space prevents this. Miss Bessie La Belle, the phenomenal contralto has voice which is truly marvellous and her selections were enthusiastically re- Ceived. The olio contains several mo- VelueS which the audience appreciated. The saXaphone trio-Bnly Young. Tim Ousley, Wilson and Taylor. and Nor gan Smith contributed clever acts. and as the show is made up of actors who can act-mus;cians who can play and singers who can sing there is no doub- of it's s-cccss.
 Tonight and Wednesday night Ma hara's Minstrels will be seen at the Doris opera house and the program will be changed each night as much as possible.
