the Usual Hour.

Council meeting comes off tonight.
Routine seems to be about all that's
looked for. though Councilman Shaw's
motion, pending since last meeing, to
reconsider the Coal run sewer order,
may cause a futter. It is expected
that the B. and o. petition for extern

The committee directed by the council
at the last meeting to confer with the
B. and o. officials, have done nothing,

ambassadors special pet, he having Sc
cured its lease from the Chinese gov
eminent for Russia, the place being re-
christened Port Arthur in honor of
himself, his splendid self-control can
be better appreciated.
A gentleman recently had another
illustration of the counts self-posses-
sion. He called at the embassy to see
the ambassador, and found the latter
taking an afternoons exercise by walk
ing around the triangle on which the
embassy is located The count invited
him to join in the walk, and they were
followed by an immense dog. sort Of
cross between an italian grey hound
and q Russian stag hound. The ami
NAL is so thin and gaunt that 1t is
known in the neighborhood as the
"spook" dog. It Is a favorite Of the
count and goes by the name Of "Tris-
tan" On this particular occasion a
lady was passing by the embassy, fol-
lowed by a long-haired poodle iris
tan looked at the little animal, made
one leap, grabbed 1t by the back of the
neck and threw It about 20 feet away.
The poodle yelped and squealed and
the lady screamed. Again Tristan
leaped on the little animal and tossed
It in the air, causing more screams
from the lady anc yelps from the
poodle.
Quite a commotion resulted, several
passers-by stopping to see what was
the matter, while the lady was almost

that everything was not lovely and
promising at home. The count Is dean
Of the diplomatic corps, a position he
has occupied since the death Of the late
Lord Pauncefote, the British ambassa-
dor, and he maintains that position
with dignity and fills all the require
ments, social and otherwise, in perfect
style. He is deferred to by other diplo-
mats in matters involving the etiquette
Of the corps. and when concerted action
Is necessary in any public function
Count Cassini exercises his preroga-
tives and is accorded the respect and
Difference of his colleagues.
The nearest the count has come u
exhibiting uneasiness or a disturbed
feeling was when a newspaper corre-
spondent recently attributed to high
Russian official in this city expressions
regarding the st. Petersburg riots and
tually amounted TO treason. Ordinarily
lmpervious 10 newspaper comment and
criticism, Count Cassini could not stand
for this, and he Immediately charac-
terized the reported interview as false.
The newspaper correspondent retorted
by Offering to publish the name of his
informant II Count Cassini would give
him written permission to do so. The
Russian ambassador Immediately ac-
copied the challenge and sent writ
ten authorization to the newspaper cor
respondent and asked that the name
be published. This the latter did not
do, whereupon Count Cassini again ap-
peared in the public prints, character
izing the correspondents statement as
false and the correspondent himself as
q falsifier. The language used was
hardly diplomatic, but 1t failed to re-
veal the identity of the high Russian
official whom the correspondent repre-
sented as uttering the treason. The
count declared that the correspondent
never had any such interview, and
there the matter rests.
