IhE SPICE OF LIFE.
Variety rs 1t Is Seen In tho Customs of
Various Countries.

Ono of tho most enjoyable things in
travel is to notice how etiquette varies
from land to land. In America, when n
steamer leaves, tho men shake hands and
tho women kiss each other and sometimes
cry. In Franco and Italy especially tho
women weep, whilo tho men kiss and hug
each other almost rs vigorously as If they
were in wrestling match. An American
woman shakes hands with man Of her
acquaintance, whilo in Spain sho always
gives her hand to be kissed 1t makes tho

have these would be considered the height
of discourtcsy. Among tho western ma

SALEM NEWS

Yesterday WAS genuine good old
fashioned holiday for Salem. The
banks, postoffice, and most of the bust
ness houses were closed. Everybody
and the cook were attired in their
"Sunday" dress, and the soft talmy air
brought out visitors of every descrip.
ton. from the wouldebe millionaire Of
Roanoke to Uncle Tree-top and his fam
lily from somewhere else. The noisy
boy was, as usual, on every street oor-
ner with his tin horn, torpedo, cannon
cracker and everything else that had
noise in 1t. And the way they made
night hideoue, and day too, for that mat
ter, was Caution" to use pet ex-
preston. AS result of the jubilee, the

ally incident to such occasions.
In the morning there WAS raga-a-
muff1n parade ami the grotesqus Guar
acters were as the Westerner would put

WAS noticed q typical representative
queen from the wilds of Africa (see
Puck) seated on her poay and carrying
large umbrella and Immediately in
her rear came horse carrying three
boys, small detachment Of old Mother
Hubbard's family. But doubtless the
most interesting and appropriate per.
sonificstion WAS that which led the
carolcade, the jolly old Santa Claus.
In the afternoon the Salem Brass
Band paraded Main street and dis
coursed some very fine music. Several
halts were made. one at Hotel Duval
and another at the court house square,
where for some time the citizens were
treated to good open air concert.
Taking 1t altogether 1t was jolly day
for Salem. and everyb ody seemed to be
having good time. The cry OF hard
times was not heard and the toy and
confectionery merchants say that bust
meas was never better with them.

A SLOW CRUISER. The Philadelphia's Time to
 Honolulu. A Regular Pacific Steamer Beats Her by Nearly Seventy
 Two Hours.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
 SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 6-The cruiser Philadelphia, made a remarkably poor run from this city to Honolulu. She left this port at Il a. m. on Sunday and arrived in Honolulu at p. m. on the Tuesday of the following week thus taking nine days and eight hours to make the run of 2,10O miles.
 The Australia, leaving twenty.four hours later, arrived at Honolulu nearly forty-eight hours ahead of the Phila- delphia. That the cruiser was pushed hard on the run is shown by her con- sumption of coal which averaged 11O | tons day for the trip. The navy officials are unable to ac- count for the slow time. The Australia encountered the same weather and made her time on forty-one tons of coal | per day.

 Portland, Ore, Makes a Nearly Successful At
 tempt to Rob a Bank.
He Has the Cashier Bound and
 From a Rival Bank.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 6.-Shortly after noon today a man entered the First National bank of East Portland and presenting a revolver called upon Cashier E. T. Holgate, who was alone in the bank, to throw up his hands. The cashier complied and the intruder then bound and gagged him, after which he started to empty the coin trays into sack which he carried.
 At this juncture the cashier of the Citizens National bank across the street, who saw the affair, rushed in with shotgun and arrested the robber who was then turned over to the police.
 The thief was identified as Rev. J. c. Reed, Baptist minister. Reed came into notoriety four months ago by dis appearing after leaving his clothes on the river bank to give the impression that he had been drowned. He after wards turned up in Illinois, where he claimed to be suffering from mental trouble. Reed was disguised with a false beard.
 Reed said desperation drove him to the crime. He said he had good pas torate in the east but his wife wouldn't live there. Upon his return here he was summed by formerly professed friends and as his money had been ex- hausted he decided to rob bank to support his wife and two children. He says he will not plead insanity as he would prefer the penitentiary to an in sane asylum. He had no confederates

 WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The Hawaiian question in general and the Hawaiian cable in particular were the main themes before the senate today. The diplomatic and consular appro priation bill was taken up and would have been quickly disposed of except for an item of $5O0.0O0 for immediately beginning the cable construction between the United States and Hawaii. Mir. Mills of Texas made point of order against the cable proposition which is likely to rule it out, but the decision was with held until the senators could further debate it.
