SECRETARY STODDARD GOES EAST.-Secretary Stoddard has left for Washington to answer charges that were filed against him some time ago. It is understood the charges allege that he has used his official frank for send ing out advertising matter that might result to his financial advantage. When first notified of the charges Mir. Stod- dard answered them by mail. but it is probable that he prefers to make his denial more emphatic by personal visit. When first informed of the charges several weeks ago he made ap- plication to the governor. as required by law, for leave of absence for his eastern visit.
 FOR MEN ONLY.-It was demon strated last night there there was d great many men in Phoenix interested in religious affairs. The great tent, in which the Smith meetings are held, was crowded to it's limit with nobody but men, and the meeting was pro- nounced by those who were there to- be the greatest mems meeting ever held in this city. Tonight Mr. Smith will lecture upon the subject: ''Is the Bible True?" In support of the af firmative ne will adduce only those evi- dences with which men are brought face to face every day. and which are so plain that they cannot be mistaken.
 WANTED, A STOVE.-The members of the Young Mems Democratic club, finding their supply of hot air practi- cally exhausted. began to discuss the. necessity of a stove. It is said by one who pretends to know. that a man by the name of smith. made them pres ent of stove and they had just got it nicely in place when representative of the Salvation Army came along and Tho a-rn of course, turned over without protest. This incident is given publicity so that some other kind-hearted man may con tribute q stove to the boys It would be shame for them to freeze to death in Christian land just for the sake ,of political principles.
