COURT ETIQUETTE.
Some of Its Absurdities as Exhibited
Mt Royal Balls and
Concerts.

The distinguished persons who at
tended the recent state concert at
Buckingham palace were required to
observe code Of etiquette which has
existed at court since the earliest days.
Some Of the etiquette in force at
royal balls and concerts is very curious.
At state balls the appearance Of the
royal family is announced by the en-
trance Of number of gentlemen carry
ing long court sticks. The princess Of
Wales, when present, heads the party,
and, in accordance with precedents es-
tablshed hundreds of years ago, adj
! vances with naive, faltering, hesitat-
ing step.
1t was at one of the balls in the reign
OF James J. that the custom originated.
That monarch was so pleased at what
he called the blending Of timidity with
childlike confidence that characterized
The demeanor Of his sons young wife
as she entered the ballroom that he de-
creed that this department should be
constituted part Of the court Ell
quette.
The etiquette at royal balls is rather
severe. All quadrilles and lancers are
expected to be danced in stately and
cercmonious manner, and certain it is
that in the earlier part of the evening
all concerned comport themselves with
inimitable gravity, but as the night
grows apace the rule is slightly re-
Taxed.
AT the royal concerts, which are at
tended by persons Of superior social po-
sition to those invited to the balls, the
etiquette is also rigidly enforced, and
never deviated from Some Of it presses
very hardly even on royalty itself. For
instance, royal personages are expect
ed to remain seated throughout the
concert, a proceeding they must lind
extremely irksome, as the gilt chairs
used on these occasions are not only
very small, but being placed with their
backs to the orchestra prevent their
occupants from seeing what's going on.
On this point, for some reason not
easy to explain, etiquette is more con-
siderate with the guests, who are al

look at the pictures or adjourn to the
refreshment-room.
The barrier which on these occasions
IS introduced TO separate the audience
from the singers is regarded by the
latter with the deepest aversion, as
Indicating the existence Of a social bar
rier between them.
Naturally a singer like Adelina Patti,
with an income Of 10000 year, con
siders herself the equal Of most Of the
guests who listen TO her. But the bar
IS always fixed for a state concert, and
IS not likely TO be removed.
One awful breach Of etiquette is 10

FIRST PHONoGRAPH
Ediaon's story of How His New In-
vention Recited "Mary Had
Little Lamb"

Ray Stannard Baker tells for the
first time the true story of Thomas A.
Edison and the invention of the phono-
graph. Mr.. Edison, who has grown
very deaf of late, denies himself to most
callers, and Mr.. Baker was obliged to
secure his interview through the medi-
um of W. S. Mallory, the inventors
right-hand man, who went with him
into Mr.. Edisons private Office. They
found him in a characteristic attitude,
his fingers thrust through his thick hair
and his head leaning on his hand.

to Mr.. Edison with a flash of inspira-

Few inventions have ever been con-

Helena. Jan. 11.-When the house
| convened this morning there was a gen.

and the audience in the gallery was

that the rumor was inspired, that
| there would be resolution introduc-
ed in the house this morning that
would restore confidence in the Clark

| they had been jobbed and that they
We're innocent. Vainly, however, the

Speaker Stiff passed down the order
of business, one paragraph at a time,

die gang, There was one resolution in

the Stephens resolution of yesterday
and added to the force Of the declara-
tion of the house of its determination
to see the investigation through Tt

and was passed unanimously without
any discussion. The text of this resolu-

against the peace and dignity of this
state by the giving of bribes by certain

Whereas, such crimes are subversive
of all good government and destructive

Behind Time

It's your own fault if you are be-

one watch was about all a whole
family could afford and when the
purchase of clock was almost as
serious matter as the purchase of

thing very formidable about the
purchase of clock or a watch in
these days. The astonishing thing
about timekeepers now is their
cheapness, variety and excellence.
