Salutations.

The Arabians shake hands six or
eight times Once is not enough. If,
however, they be persons Of distinction,
they embrace and kiss one another sew
eral times and also kiss their own
hands. In Turkey the salute is to place
the hand upon the breast and bow,
which is both graceful and appropriate.
In Burmah. when man meets al wo-
man, he puts his nose and his mouth
close to her cheek and draws a long
breath as if inhaling delicious per-
fume. He does not kiss her cheek,
strange to say. A man is greeted in
exactly the same way.
In the greater part of Germany it is
considered an act of politeness. not of
gallantry, for a man to kiss a woman's
hand. In Italy that privilege is allowed
only to near relatives, while in Russia
it is extended to kissing the forehead.
The men of continental Europe have
a custom that would seem queer. not to
say laughable, here. They greet one
another with a kiss if they be friends,
not on the cheek but right ON the lips.

all fees in civil cases in advance" Held,
that the mere receipt of the paper by
the clerk does not constitute filing; it
is not the clerks duty to file it without
the fee, nor can he be compelled to do
so until the fee is paid.

Their Wedding Night Was Passed
In the Jail

Tho police last night arrested young
couple who were alleged to have eloped
fromSa town in Amador County. The
dispatch ON which the arrest was made
stated that the mans name was Henry
Love and that of his 16-year- girl
compa nion Rosa Delluomirii.
An hour before the runaways were
taken in they We're married. If the
girl is but 16 years Of age, and her
companion-in order to marry her
swore that she was of legal age, he may
find himself in serious trouble. The
probability is, however, that, since they
have married, there will be no prosecu-
tion.

From New York.
New York reports are again trying 70
dispose OF the Cleveland. Lorain &
Wheeling railroad. The latest reports
are that Blair & Company have pur-
chased a controlling interest In the road
for the Federal Steel Company, to open
up q coke territory, and also to give
that company an ore carrier. says the
Cleveland Leader. The report 10 inter-
esting. and the speculation is as timely
as any other. so say the officials Of the
road, but they do not accord With the
fact altogether. Blair & Company have
always owned q large amount Of the
stock OF the road. Whether Il amounts
TO a controlling interest or not is an
open question.
There have been good many rlmors
concerning this road, starting at the
time Of the first talk Of a combination
Of the coal roads Of Ohio. It has lately
been learned that there Is a definite pol-
icy marked out for this property. II has
within the last eight months fallen into
the hands OF eight men in New York,
one Of whom ls represented by Blair &
Company. It IS the intention Of these
new owners to take the property and
develop It. They feel that It Is a pay
ing road, and will in the long run devel-
on into money maker. With this idea
IN view they have practically reorgan-
lied It, the first act Of which was when
they placed w r. Woodford in charge
Of It as president.
