plaintiff in error, a citizen of the lnltcd
States arrived home from visit to
Europe at the end of September, with

him wearing apparel bought abroad for

the season then approaching, not exccs-
sivc in quantity for persons of their
means. habits and station in life and
their ordinary outfit Tor the winter. Part
of the articles had not been worn and
duties were cxac!ed on all those articles.
This Court holds that under Section

from duty wearing apparel in actual
Use and other personal effects not mer.

WAS to exempt from duty such articles As
fulfilled The following conditions: First,

ARrzoNA,s GOVERNOR,
Re spends a Day in Our City
 and IS interviewed.

The train which arrived in this city from the south yesterday morn- ing at 6 6:45 o'clock, had among it's list of passengers, who stopped over al the metropolis, Gov F. A. Tritle, of Arizona, his wife and daughter. The party went at once to the Ar milo house, and there the young man of The Journal found them yes terday afternoon.
 The governor is looking in better health and is seemingly in better spirits than we have ever before seen him. He was always a man of the people, and ever ready to answer questions concerning the territory over which he ably presides, espe- cially If he can advance her interests in any way.
 He said that he had been in the southern portion of Arizens for the past few weeks and that now he was on his way home to Prescott. He should spend portion of the day in Albuquerque and portion at Isleta, leaving for the west at 3:45 Satur- day morning.
 Arizona is, he believes, grow Ning every day, and her importance will be fully felt in the very near future.
 lie was going back to Prescott with some good news for the people there and he felt good over it him self.
 The fac, of ihe matter Is, Cover nor Tritle has finally, after years of patient labor, succeeded in organiz- ing syndicate 10 build the railroad from Prescott to a junction with the Atlantic'tS Pacific road. The syndi- cate is comp sed exclusively of New York capitalists. and ihe money has been subscribed. All that now re mains to be dore is fo. the company, of which Gov. 1litle is president, 10 turn over to the syndicate their fran~ chises and other rights, which will be accomplished al the earliest pos sibls date.
 Tins will be grand news for our friends in the Arizona capital, anu we sort ol feel like rejoicing with them. The benefits that will accrue to Albuquerque by the building of this important line are not to be nn- derfstimated-
