 The story of Damon and Pythias is old but the treatment of the dramatic situations under Director Ellis is en- tirely new. Pythias, warrior return ing home from war with the Catha- genians is on his wa to the temple to wed Calanthe. the fairest maid in all Syracuse. A slave tells him that his friend Damon is about to die by a cruel decree of Dionysius, the king.
 Leaving his bride at the altar, he hurriess to his friends rescue, secures a respite of six hours and goes to prison until Damon can arrange his saffairs and bid his wife and child farewell. The tyrant king conspires to have Pythias executed and Damon prevented from returning at the ap- pointed hour. But his plans fail and then, touched with the unusual dem- onstration of friendship between Da- mon and Pythias. he frees the former who arrives just as the executioner is about to wield the axe and comments them both.
 The unrestricted endorsement of the officers of Phoenix Lodge, No. ?. is
 given the production.

GOLDBERG
 VISITS PHOENIX.

If ever a first timer in Phoenix ex-' pressed himself as more surprised at the up- to-the- -minutenesS of this city and the Salt River valley than did Sid ney Goldberg, of New York. yesterday, he failed to make himself known to the natives" MT. Goldberg said he never could have gathered from boost litera- ture or from personal conversation with people who had preceded him here any idea of the development and spirit of progress to be found in this section of the southwest. Previously he had pictured Phoenix as a thriving little town set in the heart of the great American desert.
 Mir. Goldberg is the president of the firm of Simon, Bait & Co.,, of New York, manufacturers of the well known s. Palo Ca cigars. He arrived here yesterday morning in company with Tom Torbett, of Albuquerque, who rep resents the company in New Mexico and Arizona, and to whom visit to Phoenix and the Salt River valley is an old story: MT. Torbett had sent word ahead to the Baswitz company, local distributors of the s. Palo y Ca cigars, telling of the coming of President Gold berg and himself.
 That was all that was necessary to start the ball rolling Pop" and Louis Baswitz immediately oiled up one of the Baswitz big yellow cars, had some extra cooking done and sat down to wait for the train. When the two vis- itors arrived they were first fed and then taken for a drive that did more to enlighten President Goldberg con- corning this section than any other procedure could have done.
 Tonight, with a better idea and a broader comprehension of the real i'm portance of this section, Mir Goldberg will go on to California, where he will visit the coast distributors of the pro- ducts of his company. He says he surely has the PhoehGx fever and may find it practicable to spend more time here in the near future

A general alarm from box 35 at the
corner of Pearl and Champlain streets
at i121 o'clock Friday morning
was for fire in the house owned by
Or, w. r. Lund on the southeast cor
ner of Monroe and Champaign streets.
The fire was caused by an explosion
of a Kerosene oil stove in the kitchen
in the southeast corner of the build
ing. The blaze spread over the kit
chen rapidly and the Are had gained
much Roadway by the time the ap-
paratus arrived. Two tanks of chemi-
cal and three streams of water were
used in lighting the fire for a half
hour before it was extinguished. The
furniture in the house was badly dam
aged, although 1t was saved to some
extent by the use of rubber blankets
which were spread over it as soon as
possible. The damage to the building
itself will also amount to quite sum
as the kitchen and shed were practi-
Cally destroyed.
