JOsIAHs PIE COUNTER.
A Texan Hoodwinked MIR. Quincy and
Got His Share.
Washington Special.


Quincy, of Massachusetts, as Assistant
Secretary Of State and general dispenser OF
consulates, was not without incidents,
many of which have been given to the pub
lie.
But there is one case which even Mr..
Quincy, perhaps, cannot explain.
Among the early applications for a con-
sulate was French citizen of Texas named
Du Belief II He got his papers through and
serious charges were filed against him.
1t was alleged that Mr. Du Belief had
been too risky with the fair sex; that he
had not been faithful to his marital vows
and had wandered from his family hearth
stone in a moral Texan town and taken
UP with a fair maiden whom he had left
desolate.
Upon being appraised of these charges the
President ordered the commission held up.
Du Belief was communicated with under
the frank OF the State Department and
commanded to clear himself. He remained
quiet and ignored all such demands. Score
tary Gresham, who had been apprised of
the case personally held back the commits
sion and ordered that when Du Belief pre-
scented himself he should be ordered before
the head of the department
Meantime Du Belief came to Washington
and concealed himself at cheap hotel. He
avoided Secretary Gresham, and awaited
who then absent. Upon the return OF
the latter. Du Belief presented himself
and by some sort of reprgese ei at, OBJ,
the disbursng clerk, draw about $500 and
start for his post in France.
When Secretary Gresham heard of this
he refused to believe it and assumed that
Du Belief had decided to abandon the
chase and return TO his native land But
the secretary was dumbfounded few days
later to hear that Du Beliefs name had
gone to the Senate and that he had been
confirmed.
From the first week OF the installation
Quincy had been at outs with Secretary
Gresham. The. latter did not admire the
Quincy style and was glad TO get rid of
Quincy
without consulting the secretary and Du
Belief got through.
A prominent Texas Congressman, when
he learned of the facts said: well. 1
suppose 1 must applaud the shrewdness of
one of our citizens. We have been vainly
endeavoring to get some foreign appoint
mentS legitimately, but here is a Texan
who gobbles a consulate and gets away with
it before being caught

An unusual number of deaths by gas as

many deaths as in 1892 alone, but the pro-
portion of suicides had been so much less

fifteen years there are about as many
deaths due to one as the other. A New

TWO MUSICAL DOGS.

other Identified a Hand Organ.
Manchester Times
A wonderful story of a French musical
critic is related by persons who profess to
have been acquainted with him, and who
have seen him in attendance on musical
performances. He was a dog, and his name
in public was Parade; whether he had a
different name at home was never known
At the beginning Of the French revolution
he went every day to the military parade
in front Of the Tuilleries Palace. he
marched with the musicians, halted with
them, listened knowingly to their perform
ances. and, after the parade, disappeared
to return promptly at parade time the next
day. Gradually the musicians became at
tached to this devoted listener. They named
him Parade and one or another of them
always invited him to dinner. He accepted
the invitation, and was a pleasant guest
It was discovered that after dinner he al
ways attended the theater, where he seated
himself calmly in the corner Of the orches-
ira and listened critically TO the music If
new piece was played ne noticed IL in
stantly and paid the strictest attention. If
the piece had fine melodious passa ges he
showed his joy TO the best Of his doggish
ability; but If the piece was ordinary and
uninteresting he yawned, stared about the
theater and Enthusiastically expressed his dis
approval
Another very curious story of a canine
musical ear is told of a London organ
grinders dog The organ-grinder was blind
and aged. and the dog used to lead him
about. One night, after hard days work,
the old man and his faithful companion lay
down to sleep, with the organ beside them.

the streets where he had been accustomed

aims before continued to befriend him. so
that the loss OF the organ proved not so
bad after all. Weeks went by. One day
the old man heard a hand organ played

lost instrument, but he paid no special at
