and Europe He had some trouble at
the border with the customs officers
in the examination of his baggage,
being delayed at Ell Paso two days in
obtaining the necessary papers where
by he could pass his personal baggage
without being compelled to pay duty.
His effects consist of fourteen trunks.
Eight Of these are OF the Saratoga
make and larger than the common
travellers trunk. There are four differ
ent styles of cane cases and five UNI
brella holders; eleven leather hatboxes
and twenty three grips Of different
styles. Nine of these he brought with
him in the Pullman, having engaged
two sections for travelling from the
Pass City here.
He will be in the city several weeks
on a pleasure trip and will no doubt
be a conspicuous figure in the parades
on San Francisco street. His ward
robe is the work OF merchant tailors
from all over the world.
Mr.. Whipple will probably not visit
the tailoring establishments of this
city, as the following list Of wearing
apparel seems sufficient to hold him fol-
while, although only a part Of his
outer garments, which consist Of lbs
pairs Of trousers, 81 coats, 10 vests
