PHOENIX DEGREE GIVEN
VISITING ODD FELLOWS IN PHoE. NIX TREATED TO SPLEEN
 DID EXHIBITION.

DOUGLAS, April 21.-(Special. )-
 The officers of the grand lodge oi Odd Fellows, some of them at least were given a degree they had never heard of until they came to Phoenix on the occasion of the grand lodge rnis week. It is known distinctiyeiy es the Phoenix degree. and possesses ! virtue of which no other fraternsl ceremony can boast. That is. it is not peculiar to Odd Fellowship, but will serve to enlighten all wayfarers who come within its sphere of influ- ence, through whatever ceremoniaIs they may have passed before and ir- respective of any oath that may have been previously subscribed to in se- cret conclaye.
 The mysteries of this degree may be learned only at the Ford hotel grill room and it is never conferred ex- cept in the presence of a large crowd, says the Republican. On this occa- sion the conditions were perfect. The crowd was there and the candidates had been well chosen. Their financial standing had been carefully reported on by the committee, and it was known in advance that they were able 10 buy. Furthermore, they were look ing for information
 P. G. Rosenblatt was yesterday chosen to represent the grand encamp- ment of Arizona at Toronto, and Al fred Godfrey, of Bisbee, was elevated to the honorable position of grand master of the Jurisdiction of Arizona
 IT there was anything about signs, symbols and secret manifestations that these men did not know it was felt that they should be taught, and they agreed that they should possess themselves of all that could be learned.
 MT. Rosenblatt. who is already pre- pairing himself for his trip through the eastern wonderland volunteered to pull the string George A. MintZ'N the grand secretary. wagered thirty-five dollars that in his nervousness Rosen- blatt would drop it at the critical time, and MT. Godfrey agreed to act as referee. He is a particular friend of MT. Mintz, and he did not propcsee to see him lose by foul play. There was large gathering of the breth -en and they were all so thirsty they could hardly wait for the conclusion of the solemn rites. At the appoint ed time F. C. Henderson, of Bisbee, who was kindly helping his townsman, MT. Godfrey. to pick up little infor- nation, neryously held the dog in re straint while the grand vizier removed the barrel, and the badger made one wild lunge. The rest of the story can better be told in dots and dashes. but mostly dashes. It cannot be de- ciphered for publication, but the re- cord of it appears on the cash regis ter of the Ford.-Republican.

FREE ONCE MORE
Noted Crook Whose Life Was Saved by Lincoln, Leaves
 Prison.

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, April 21:- Col. A. B. Ward, the man with a cough" who more than forty years ago was saved from death on the gal lows by President Lincoln, and who was one of the most noted forgers in the United States, was released from prison recently in this city. Ward was born near Indianapolis seventy three years ago. In Washington. D. C., he shot and killed an army officer and escaped to the south, where he enlisted in the Confederate army.
 Later he was sent north, intending to burn New York City, and was ar rested in the act of applying torch to the Astor House. Being condemn ed to die for the act, he was cast into an army prison, where he earned the gratitude of Lincoln by his tender care for the prisoners. The President Eardoned Ward a few hours beTore the execution was to occur.
