The Century: In the time of Louis Philippe Queen Marie and the princesses, her daughters-in-law, sat round a table with needlework which at least provided occupation; but during the empire conversation was the principal resource, ana this often flagged. The emperor was benevolent, but silent, and the emoresa tried to talk incessantly, with real or feigned vivacity; sometimes in the young days of the empire she proposed dancing, and one of the gentlemen present turned the handle of a mechanical piano whdea played dance music. I remember that one evening, shortly after my arrival at the we were all seated quietly in the salon of the duke's mother, Comtesse de Tascher, after dinner, when suddenly the In waiting appeared. -The empress wished to dance the lancers. In vogue that winter, and nobody present knew the figures.

It had been suggested that Mile, de Tascher, who habitually attended the dancing lessons at -the British embassy, was probably Initiated in the mysteries of the -new dance, and she must come Immediately to teach everybody. The duchess, 'who was going to private ball, protested vehemently that her daughter was a mere schoolgirl, not yet introduced into society; she was not dressed appropriately for such an unexpected honor; she could not go without her mother, etc. The chamberlain, with languid good breeding and perfect indifference, coolly answered "All that I know is that she is to come immediately, and must not stop to dress. I suppose you may come, too, if you like, but you must not keep her majesty waitinsr. So the duchess and her daughter followed the chamber-.

iam utile, ae fascner considerably vexea at having no time to change-her dark green silk dress for more becoming attire; but there was no help for it, ana she had to obey. She was warmly received by the empress (dressed In crimson velvet and diamonds), gave the required lesson In the lancers, danced with the emperor, who broke her fan and apologized, while she, though a schoolgirl, replied, in a courtierlike phrase, that she was "too happy to have such a remembrance: of his majesty," who, unfortunateily, forgot all about It the next day, and thus omitted to send her a more pleasing remembrance. At 10 o'clock, according to the usual custom, a tea table was brought in, with a tray of cool drinks for those who preferred them. The empress. In high spirits, made the tea herself.

Instead of leaving the matter to her ladies, and my schoolgirl greatly enjoyed the whole adventure. BOARD OP SUPEEVISOES. Third Day, September 5, 1895. Board met pursuant to adjournment. Members all present.

Quite a number of horsemen went to the Woodland park track yesterday morning to witness a running race between Francis Junior and a 2-year-old colt, owned by James of Wakefield. Neb. The race was a quarter mile dash, American racing rules, for $50 a side.

Francis Junior was the favorite, being picked because of his career oa the turf against a green colt which" had never been trained. G. F. Statter acted as starter. The horses broke away several times and both proved to.

be good scorers. When they got the word the colt jumped away from Francis as he was glued to the track, winning with ease in :22 under a pull. It was a surprise to those who witnessed the race, and all agreed the colt possessed marvelous speed. -The 1S93 record for a quarter of a mile was made at Deer Lodge, by Jim Miller, a horse which ran tho distance in 21. The colt which ran yesterday Is by Johnny Red and is considered a wonder.

After this exhibition Mr. Madsen brought out a full sister of the colt which beat Francis, which was four months younger. Mr. Madsen announced that he would show those present, a running Bunch Grass was matched against his colt for a quarter of a mile. The colt ran away from this horse like a tin canned dog from his tormentor, and won by ten lengths in j3.

Mr. Madsen will probably enter both of these colts in the fall races. "Bob" Kneebs has returned from his stock farm at Wakefield, and yesterday, drove- Black Diamond over the track, which was in fine shape. Joseph Coverdale, of Elk Point, the owner of Black Diamond, was present to witness the exhibition. After a severe warm up Diamond was sent away, and trotting in magnificently finished strong in 2:28, giving himself a record which makes him eligible to be registered by performance.

(Mr. Coverdale was delighted with Diamond's work. He said Diamond is 18 years old and attributed his work at the Labor day matinee to the fact that Diamond is aged and was not feeling tip top. Mr. Coverdale said: "I knew that when we causrht the old horse feeling at his best tiiat he could show good speed.

Black Diamond is well known In this city, having been owned here the greater part of his life. Bob Kneebs is working Time Medium, 2:23. owned by Clark Reed, of Guthrie Center. Io. Time Medium is entered in the 2:22 class at the fall races.

The entire system of -operation and equipment of the Metropolitan Elevated Railroad company is attacked in a bill which has been filed in the United States circuit court. The bill Is a brief one, but the charges and the defendants Involved give assurance of a tlg legal battle, long and hard fought-. The Siemens-Halske Electric company, owners of the Ernest Werner von Siemens patents, charges the Metropolitan com-' paTiy and its president, Robert E. Jenkins, with infringement In making use of the third rail system and a peculiar contact device. The fight will be three-cornered, as the General Electric company, whloh equlped'the will assume the defenses.

The General Electric company has a long experience with contested patent cases, and both it and the Siemens-Halske company have nearly unlimited wealth with which to back up their claims. As a temporary Injunction or" restraining order is prayed for, it is probable that the contest begin before Judge Showalter on hjs return next Monday. It was freely hinted last night that the suit was the outcropping of Charles T. Yerkes' warfare against his powerful YVVest Side rival. The litigation which the Metropolitan company has been forced to defend by.

Mr. Yerkes since it began operations in Chicago has been nearly continuous, but until the 'filing0 of. this suit it was- generally believed the rival companies had buried most of their differences. GAVE II IM A BAD SCARE. Striking Indians Threaten to Scalp and Burn a Minnesota Farmer.
