IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Studying Conditions.

DR.. Z. NJ. Vogelstein of Munich is regis
tered at the Hotel Hillman. He comes to
the Birmingham district to study indus
main here two or three days He visited
the United States two years ago and is,
therefore, not unfamiliar with manufac-
turing Interests in this country. His spe-
cial work now is comprehensive and in
cludes study of conditions In England
and America for the purpose of COM
pairing them with industrial economies
in the fatherland- The paper that he
will prepare as a result of his investiga-
tons will be, it is understood, applied
to university instruction in Germany.
DR.. vogelsten is a young man, but,
like all educated Germans, has been
trained to acquire knowledge quickly and
accurately.
Iron and steel plants in the Birming-
ham district said DIR. Vogelstein, ''have
not been as modern as those in the Penn
sylvania, but improvements are being
made here and it is only a question of
time when Birmingham will catch up
with the older manufacturing centers. In
the matter of raw materials in close prox-
unity to each other, this district has a
wonderful advantage over the north, and
large capital is sure to be attracted here
on that account"
DR.. Vogelsteln says that Germany is
enjoying a great degree OF prosperity and
that wages are not high enough in this
country to tempt skilled German labor to
emigrate. When told that wages had
jumped up TO stiff figures in the United
States, DIR. Vogelstein remarked: You
ma think wages are high but in my
country they are relatively higher

CLOTHES.
Clothes, clothes, clothes,

For people who must have them new
And strictly up to date.
Clothes keep us running into debt
For bills we can not pay
Till we go broke, and that's no joke
To pass the time away.
Clothes clothes, clothes,
The custom is a bore,
We wish that we could live, b'gee,
As in the days of yore,
When plated leaves or grass adorned
The human form divine
A suit of green, new plucked, I ween,
Would be just right for mine
Clothes, clothes, clothes,
Where will the fashions end2
OF all the fads that call for scads
And make the people spend,
Not one is more expensive than
The need of clothes to wear.
How cheap twould be for you and me
To quit them, did we dare!

THE PITCHER.
All other heroes must retire,
The pitcher doth appear
And frenzied fans who see him come
Yield up a lusty cheer.
He's to the FORE way up in front,
And in the public eye,
A man of great renown, forsooth,
Whose fame will never die.
His mighty arm is much admired,
His rare delivery
Doth fill the hearts of all who watch
With boundless ecstasy.
His record is an open book,
Each fan knows what he's done,
The batters struck out at the plate,
The hard fought games he's won.
The small boy worships him afar,
His names on every tongue,
In all resorts around the town
You'll hear his praises sung.
Alas, how few of us are called
By mortal destiny
To stand above the crowd and wear
The crown of victory!
After all, the Thaw trial is going Il

CLAIM THEY STOLE
 WH|SkEY FROM CARS
Clancy and Mrs, Jewell Are Charged With Tapping
 the Barrels.
Special to Review.)

TOMBSTONE, Ariz., Jan. 29.-Dep uty Sheriff J. D. Prewitt, of Bowie, came over this morning bringing two prisoners who have been held to await the action of the grand jury on a charge of burglary in the first degree, by Judge Hendrich. The parties were J. c. Clancy and Mrs. Jewell L. Daly. Mrs. Daily has been running sort of rooming house and saloon at Bo~.e and Clancy has been stopping there.
 According to the story told py Dep uty Sheriff Prewitt, the parties have been in the habit of practicing econ omy and instead of buying whis y to sell across the bar, they made hai,lt of getting into the freight cars that were being loaded for Globe and tap ping barrel of whisky and filling a demijohn and carry 1t to the saloon. On several occasions barrels of whisky have been found in the cars at Bowie which showed signs of being tapped. The deputy sheriff had saw Clancy around car that vas being loaded with local freight for shipment over the Gila Valley road and decided to watch the man, About dusk he saw Clancy and Mrs. Daly go to the car and both of them enter. Clancy then tapped the barrel and was in the act of filling the demijohn when Deputy Prewitt climbed into the car and plac- ed them under arrest.
 The bond of Clancy was placed at 5000 while that of Mrs. Daly was placed at $z00. Neither party being able to furnish the bond in Bowie, they were brought to Tombstone and placed in the county all where they will be held until the meeting of the grand jury.
 Another prisoner named Pearson was placed in the county jail last eve hing. He vas brought back from Douglas several days ago on charge of defulting boarding house keeper. He was given his trial yesterday before Judge Mcfarland and was sentenced to serve term of fcrty-five days iu the county jail.

CLOTHES AND THE MAN.

The farcical incident of Capt. Will Ham H. Parker's orderly parading the hotel district of Boston in the cap tain's uniform recently, and receiving the homage and hospitality of both 1, C members of the social world and : under world, once more brings out
 strong relief the too frequent over innate of the value of clothes on the
 of the public.
 It was not so long ago that a cer-
 waiter who had labored where | z general order was to 'sdraw one
 tn sinkers," secured the uniform of :, naval lieutenant and made not only a ripple, but a mighty splash. in the social waters of Salem. The thud that accompanied the disclosure jared some of the Salem social aspirants to such an extent that 1t was some time before they could sit up and take notice.
 The antics of one Carson. orderly for Capt. Parker of the United States Marine Corps. in the captains uni form were humorous, it is true, but at the same time there was much that was pathetic and disgusting in the manner in which he was hailed and honored. because his reception was not from any who knew him and could thus honor him for personal reasons or because they were certain of his rank, but solely because of his inspir- ing clothes. It was a wise old philos- opher who declared that the bare headed man walked alone while the man with ths silk hat was followed by the multitude.
 There seems to be an opening for she indolent, the tramps. and the oth- CT drones who are parasites to civt- iization and advancement Ali they have to do is to secure some fake medals or silk hat or an opera coat or any sort of clothing that will mark them as one of rank or prosperity. and they will ever find plenty who are anxious to buy wine for them, OF take them into their homes. Ap- rarentiy the only safe thing to do these days to avoid such mistakes is to apply the acid test of thorough acquaintance in order to determine the carats of a mans intellect and character.
