ing scene last night at the Central sta

the King discreetly left the mother

remained together for several hours.
After spending the night in Rome, the
members of the Montenegrin royal fam
ily continued on a special train to
Lyons.
The fact that the King and Queen
met the Montenegrin Queen is taken
as evidence of the good faith that
Montenegro will cling, to the alliance

ers to the end. The Messagero says:
"-t the last moment, Montenegro
preferred National honor and accepted
the guarantees of Italy and her allies
for National restoration, as in the case

Young Women Not Rushing to Mar

ALBANY. Or, Jan. 22. (Special.)
Just what is the matter with the mar
riage market in Linn County has not
been determined, but some people are
charging the situation up to the fact
that this is leap year. - Only three
marriage licenses have been issued so
far this month, the smallest number
for the same period in a great - many
years.
Some of the Courthouse employes
have figured out that most of the pro
spective brides are afraid that if they
are married too soon in 1916 everyone
will think that they lost no time In
proposing, and for that reason mar
riages are being- postponed.
