HEARD IN THE LOBB|ES

Among the guests at the. Stag is
+. w. Sherwood. who expects to pur-
chase Immortality by driving his
three wheeled motorette from ocean
to ocean. He arrived Wednesday. and
will be on his way as soon as the
weather and the condition of the
roads permit Yesterday afternoon
Mr.. Sherwood was interviewed in the
lobby of the Bachelors Retreat At
the time of the interview he was
seated on a couch, with his limbs
gracefully draped over the end. His
costume consisted of Il. V. d, and
so striking was his position and his
entire appearance that a studiOus OBJ
server observed Without his b. V.
ID. he would resemble Pauline Bona
parte as she sat for the sculptor.
There would be only a few contour.
lacking To make the resemblance per
feet Mr.. SCHUYLER, the proprietor of
the Stag has requested Mr.. Sherwood
to sing before he leaves Phoenix. but
as he only sings TO the accompani-
ment of a gas engine, and his own
car is laid by in the garage. this
treat will probably be denied the
music lovers of the city.
Mr.. !. l.. Gregory, the general agent
Of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
Company, Of Newark. New Jersey. re-
turned from the east last Thursday
night, after spending several weeks
in the great cities of the eastern
coast and in Detroit. where he at
tended the convention of the gen
eral agents of his company He was
seen in the lobby of the Hotel Ford
yesterday, and his friends were anx
iously inquiring about the state of
his health. The excitement of the
trip was too much for him, for he
has lost a great deal of flesh, and
ii was noted with alarm that if ne
lost eighty-five or a hundred pounds
more he might become slender. This
would be misfortune. as in that
case he would need another introduce
ton to his clients and would be com
PEELED to work up his insurance bust
ness all over again. Mr.. Gregory
speaks with enthusiasm Of the con
vention of the Mutual Benefit Life.
and he says he has every reason to
believe his company one of the safest
and most reliable insurance companies
in existence
He registered Thursday night, but
little has been seen of him ObOut the
lobby Of the Commercial. This would
be mysterious if his habits of in
dustry were not well known. Allen
+. Muter. mining engineer of King
man. came To- Phoenix on business.
and he is simply tending to it.
Heard in the Lobbies'' has strained
every nerve To interview Mr.. Muter,
for he keeps his finger on the pulse
of the mining business as perhaps
no other engineer i'm the territory
does. and he might have great deal
to say about the sale of the Gold
Roads Mine the future of the mining
business in Mohave county. and the
general outlook over the entire ter
ritOry His business calls him from
place to place and from county To
county and his judgment has been
proven correct times without num-
Der Given a few more engineers
like Mr.. Muter and Arizona would
lead the United States not only in
the production of copper. but in many
other minerals as well.
\ number Of young persons in
Phoenix, who study music called up
the Stag yesterday to learn whether
or mot Mr.. b. w. p. Greig. now
stopping there is any relation To Ed
ward, the great composer. He has
cause To regret the fact that the
clerk was compelled to reply in the
negative. for had he been a rcla-
tive of Edward. b. w. p. would have
dined out. and would have been treat
ed most royalty by the aesthetic part
of the city's population. 1t is not
known what business Mr.. Greig fol
lows, but he may be such success
in his line, such a paragon of force
and acumen, such Il whirlwind OF
energy and ambitious aspiration that
the question might be more appropri-
ateIv aslted-was Edward any relation
to HIM. 1t is always difficult to
deal with. or form any estimate OF
an unknown quantity. Let the hope
be expressed that Il. w. p. is no less
great in his way than the composer
was i'm his.
