KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.

The most interesting meetings of this popular order now prevail every Friday evening at the castle hall Can didates are being instructed in the mysteries of the ranks attained and the applications are encouraging, and we bespeak a season of hard work this winter.
 A new departure in way of enter tainment will be given on the first Friday in January, 1896, for the pur- pose of furnishing amusement for the many friends of the order. A dance will be given either in the opera house or Gardiner's hall and banquet will be served in the hall of the K. of F., to which the friends of the members will be invited.
 There will be a public installation, followed by short literary programme and speaking and social amusement in variety will be provided. This will be a Complimentary affair, the expense to fall entirely upon the lodge and may be depended upon to be the main social event of the winter. An energetic committee now has the matter in hand

WOODMEN OF THE WORLD.

At the rate the membership is in creasing in this order it bids fair to prove one of the most popular orders ever started in Phoenix. Each sue ceeding week brings larger number of candidates for admission.

Scott.
 The members say the ritualistic work is beautiful and impressive. A committee is appointed each week to provide social entertainment for the following Thursday evening, and vocal and instrumental music will be largely indulged in.
 Degree teams are being formed to confer the highest degree of the order to which all charter members are en- titled without additional cost.

The lodge held a very interesting meeting this week. The discussion was of such a nature that all took a lively interest in it. The lease for our present quarters was submitted and signed.
 The lodge rendered the Rebekas the use of their banquet hall room for next Wednesday evening.
 Colorado will soon have grand lodge of the degree of honor. Grand Master Workman A. E. Pierce has been appointed deputy by $. M. W. Riggs, with authority to organize grand lodge, and it is expected that he will shortly proceed with the work. A grand lodge in Colorado will be wei comed heartily by all members Of the D. of H.
 A lodge simply meeting to go through the routine business of secur- ing dues and assessments falls far short of its obligations to other lodges of the jurisdiction. It ig an exploded idea that an order like ours can run itself. In the old times when fraternal societies were new and great enthusi- asm prevailed among the members, lodges seemed to grow without any eff fort being made, but now, with the woods full of other orders, the brothers must get up and hustle.
 Grand Master Workman Pierce left on Saturday, October 19, for Atlanta Ga, to attend to a meeting of the eX- ecutive committee, National Editorial association. He will visit St. Louis Nashville, Memphis and some other principal cities of the south during his absence, besides devoting several days to the great exposition now being held in Atlanta. An account of his trip may be looked for in next month's Record.
 Every member should understand and be able to explain the principles of the order One of the reasons why members are not more active in pre- senting the claims of the institution is because they are not familiar with them themselves. One way to remedy this state of affairs is for every mem Der to read the paper published in the interests of the order.

THE NEW RAILROAD OFFICES.
The Handsome and Spacious Quarters
 in Which They Will Be Located.

Prescott Journal-Miner: The new building in which the general offices of the s. F., P. & P. railroad are to be To- cated, is a very neat and conveniently arranged two story structure. Its loca- tion is diagonally across the street from the depot and commands a good view of the depot, yards, machine shops and round house.
 The building is 24x56 feet, and is surrounded on the north side and west end by spacious porches. The east room on the first floor will be occupied l by President F. M Murphy Fronting 1 this on the street is smaller room through which entrance to the presi- dents room has to be made which will be occupied by his confidential man. | Dr. G. w. Vickers, Joseph Wragovich, assistant auditsr, and his force of clerks will occupy the two middle rooms down stairs and Cashier A. W. Edwards the north room
 On the upper floor, Assistant General Manager R. P. Wells will occupy the east room while the large middle room will be set aside exclusively for the use of MT. Cardon and his corps of assist ant clerks and the west room on this floor will be occupied by Chief Engi- neer w. A. Drake
 From this it will be seen that all the general offices except that of the general passenger and freight agent will be located in the new building General Passenger and Freight Agent George M. Sargent expects to reside for this winter at least, in Phoenix though his office will be located in its present quarters in the depot building and will be presided over in his absence by Chief Clerk Anawall.
 The different officers will moved into their new quarters some time during the present week.

THE CANADIAN HABITANT.
To Be Continued.

There is no peasant so much at
tached to tradition as the French
Canadian. He finds himself on a con-
tinent whose moving spirit is that of
progression. The rest of the American
world is more OF less given up to cleo
trio tramway, elevated railways and
other denominations. Factory chin
neys belch forth their disfguring
smoke and sawmills rend the air with
hideOus noises, within touch, almost,
of the quaint, picturesque French
village, which lies nesting to the
south of the st. Lawrence. The con-
tigu1ty of progress and push, of
manufacture and wealth, in no wise
affects the unambitious habitant. He
teens with contentment and philosO-
ply. Has he not a decent farm, a
tidy cottage, a good wife, an enormous
progeny, and cure to help him on his
road to heaven? Is it not possible
also to put by a little money each
year toward his old enough to
procure for him and his a decent
burial and to pay for masses in the

CHAPERONS ARE POPULAR.
Western Bachelors IndOrse the System
For It's Advantages.

| "Irhe chaperon agitation Is breaking
out again in the west" says a western
writer. "Just as people had begun to
| believe that society had resigned it
self to the blessings or the evils of the
chaperon, the whole question hobs up
again and the old battle must be
fought over. The truth is that the
chaperon system had a hard time
gaining a foothold in the West. The
girls were gay and competent to pro-
tect themselves, and the young men
were gallant and generous and not
averse to paying all reasonable ex-
penses.
"But along came fashion, that arbi-
trary and domineering old lady, and
said that chaperonS were the proper
thing; so the girls told the boys that
hereafter they would not be expected
to put up for any more polite recrea-
tons, and the boys very reluctantly
assented. Of course this could not
last. The chaperon principle was all
right, but the chaperon as purveyOr
of recreation did not materialiZe, and
the young women found to their horror
that their amusements were cut down
to the least common denomination.
"Then they began to revolt and to
hint to the young men that after all
there was no way like the old way.
and that they were perfectly willing
to overlook the extreme and silly de-
mands OF fashion and return to the
old custom that has aided so materi-
ally in building up the West But the
young men were not 50 sure that it
the point was we'll taken. They had
tried the chaperon system and had
found to their surprise that it pos
sessed manifold advantages. They
had discovered that dropping In at
party when one pleased, dancing with
whom one pleased and going home or
to the club when one pleased formed
combination of charms that could
not be overlooked. They had learned
that cigar, a cab and ticket for one
were much cheaper than flowers,
carriage and theatre tickets for two,
and they admitted that SO far as they
were concerned they were persuaded
that the chaperon system had been
much maligned, and that it represent
ed in good faith the bulwark Of So
ciety."

opened very easily. All of this answered
the description
The above Identification of the burglar
was certainly clever work Now comes
the part of the story that isn't so clever.
Yesterday morning it was discovered that
the
PRISONER HAD BROKEN OUT
of the lock up and escaped.
The man wasn't watched all night as
he ought to have been considering the
weakness of the lock up. It consists of
two large cages made of heavy flat iron
bands and set away from the walls of the
room. The square openings between the
bands are large enough for the largest
mans arms to go through easily. The
prise ner effected his escape as follows
There was some blood on the floor which
had probably come from a cut in his
hand, made while cutting piece of tin
from his tobacco box, which was found
in the cage, with the piece cut out. He
had probably used this to attempt to un-
lock the small Yale lock with which the
cage door is fastened and which can be
easily reached from the inside He had
evidently failed in this, but was success
full with horse shoe. The cage sets SO
that the rear part is within a couple of
feet or SO from the wall of the room. On
that wall was hanging horse Shoe 1t
was an old horse shoe with no calks on
it, and the ends worn down to quite a
small point. Kennedy had simply
reached out and secured this horse shoe
He had then inserted one of the ends in
the lock of the Yale lock, which he
couldn't have done had there been heel
calks on the shoe, and with the big
leverage thus obtained had simply
PRIED TIL E LOCK OPEN
by sheer force.
This was tried by one of the police after
the discovery of the escape and found to
be easily possible.
The windows of the room are covered
with a heavy iron netting. Kennedy lad
ripped this off the rear window, like SO
much mosquito screening, and made his
escape.
He is evidently a bold clever fellow. The
burglary of the watch and the method of
escape show that 1t is to be regretted
that better precautions were not takento
hold him, after his accidental capt rre,
and the clever discovery of his indentiW.
1t is stated that Jailer Hooper visited
the jail at 4 O'Clock in the morning. The
prisoner was there then. But when Jaler
Hooper returned to the Jail at six o'c lock
with the prisoners breakfast, the bird
had flown
