A Strictly Judicial Answer.

from the Lewiston journal
One of the best stories Of white-haired,
white-chokered, courteous Calvin Record is
about mellow old lawyer who used to live on
the banks of the Androscoggin. The squire
was given to deep rotations, and was famous
for his fine distinctions. 1t is said that in
special pleading he could split a hair even
more closely than Mr.. Record can himself.
But often after the shades of night had fallen
the squire might have been seen struggling
home, SO booty that he apparently could not
split single, to say nothing of hair.
One night when he was drunken than usual
he staggered completely out of his course and
could not find it. Realizing that he was lost
and drifting into unfamiliar regions he called
at house to ask for information.
Madame" he gravely said to the lady who
came to the door, candle in hand. "Can YOU
tell (hic) me where Squire Blank lives?"
Certainly" she said, and gave him full d.
rections.
But as she talked and looked, and an her
candle gradually brought out the features Of
the man before her, a puzzled expression came
into her face and she finally asked, "But isn't
this Squire Blank?"
MADAM" replied the old lawyer, assuming
a judicial air, that is entirely lhic) inmate

THE SAMOAN TREATY.
What is Said at the State Department
About the Berlin Conference.

State department officials absolutely decline
to discuss the Samoan conference or the Behr-
ing sea tangle. Of the former, they admit that
matters are in such shape as to warrant
the expectation of Q speedy conclusion
OF the conference, comparatively unimportant
details only remaining to be adjusted. But
upon the provisions Of the treaty, if treaty
has yet been drawn, they refuse to talk,
further than to say that the public must
receive its information respecting treaties
in the usual course, namely, after the action
OF the United States Senate, to which body all
treaties must be submitted for approval before
they become operative. The obvious reason
for this course lies in the fact
that important amendments are often made
by the Senate, after treaties have been ar
ranged by the diplomatic officers Of the treaty
powers. So radical are these changes in fact
that they have caused the failure Of pending
treaties, notable instance occurring in the
last Congress

DISTRICT SovERSsfENr.
OVERLOOKED EASEMENTS.

The Commissioners have received q petition
from the residents in square ssl, praying that
the sewer in front of their property be repaired,
as their Easements are overlooked TO the depth
of or inches from the filthy sediment of the
sewer. They say they haze already sent two
to. They say further that this great nuisance
can be abated by running a sewer from the
corner of 18th street and South Carolina ave-
nue. to 18th street. By reason of the present
condition of things they say number of
tenants have been lost and ask, in conclusion,
that the Commissioners give the matter imme-
date attention.
THE BUILDING BOOM.
Building permits issued May, 1885, num-
bered S03. In May, 1888, 1874.
NO SEWER THROUGH LEDRorr AVENUE.
TEE STAR has heretofore referred TO Gen.
eral Birneys request that the Commissioners
run sewer through LeDroit avenue to
Boundary, provided that the avenue should be
dedicated to the public. Attorney Riddle, as
will be remembered, saw no objection TO grant,
ing the request, provided no property-owner
on II objected. Ii seems that objections have
been offered by some Of the property-owners,
and the Commissioners to-day, acting upon
these objections wrote to Gen. Birney, that
while there is any doubt on the subject and
the opening of the avenue to the public is OPP
posed by residents of the place they deem it
inadvisible to commit the District to any policy
OF pubnc improvements there.
CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC AT 2P.M.
The Commissioners to-day ordered that
hereafter the portions of the District building
not occupied by the tax assessment and COL
lecting departments be closed to the public at
2 o'clock.
AN AFFIDAVIT NEEDED.
Messrs. Parker and Dwyer wrote to the Dis
trict Commissioners March 10, calling their at
tention to the obstruction of the alley in square
493 by the freight depot of the
Baltimore and Potomac railroad. The
alley in question, according to Capt.
Symons, although legally and properly con-
demned. has never been paid for, and there is
reasonable doubt as to its status Upon the
recommendation of Major Raymond the papers
were referred to Attorney Riddle. who reports
that prima facie this is public alley, and
will, he thinks, be so held if an
inhabitant who suffers by its obstruction
complains and makes the needed affidavit.
The Commissioners to-day wrote Messrs.
Parker and Dwyer that they could take no
action in the premises unless inhabitant
who suffers by the obstruction makes affidavit
thereto.

could at the irregular country schools he
bought and borrowed the books used in fitting
for college and mastered them. Then decid-

friends to loan him money enough to 60 to the
Harvard law school. But since he could find
no one who would loan him considerable sum
without security he had to resort to a not I'M
common, but unpleasant plan. He had his life
insured and the policy made over to the
