MUDDY POTOMAC WATER.
Captain Lusk Tells q Star Reporter the
Cause.

A great many complaints are being received
at the District buildings Oh account of the
muddy water which comes through the service
pipes. When q STAR reporter called upon Capt.
Lusk, who has charge of the water department
of the District for the reason that gentleman
said:
Eyes, understand there is much complaint
from consumers on account Of the bad condi-
ton Of the Potomac water, but this department
has nothing to do with it, and therefore cannot
remedy the existing state of affairs. The
trouble seems to be-" continued the captain,
"that the connection Of the new 48-inch main
with the lower reservoir necessitates the empty
ing of the latter, and the water necessary to
supply the city comes directly from the river
without having a chance to settle, so you see
the degree of clearness depends upon the con-
dition of the river. / do not know how long
this condition Of affairs will continue but am
Of the impression that everything will be
straight in couple of weeks and the people of
Washington will have clearer water"

A PROTEAN OPINION.
How the Parnel Report Suits Every
body and Prove Both Sides Right.

From the New York Suns London Cable.
II we may judge from editorial views ex-
pressed in the great newspapers OF the united
kingdom and Ireland the report of the Parnell
commission ID a masterpiece of diplomacy
Newspapers OF all shades Of political opinion
profess to be entirely satisfied with its findings
proving their own cases from points in their
favor, and entirely ignoring what is said against
them. The Times itself still believes the re-
port will be accepted by the public as entirely
confirming its assertions. The STANDARD says it
entirely convicts Parnell and his associates of
all the public ever believed against them,
while the Daily Ne,cs declares the innocence of
the defendants to be absolutely indicated.
The Pdu Mall Gazetts asserts it O glorious VIC
tory, and the Star says it is clearly verdict of
not guilty for Parnell and his fellows. The
Manchester Eldmu.er says the report warrants
all the charges brought against the nationaiists
while the Manchester Guardian congratulates
the Irish leaders on escaping scatheless. The
Liverpool Courier says all right-thinking men
ought to be driven away from Parnelrs shady
connections, while the Liverpool Post holds
that the Times case has completely broken
down and the Liverpool Mercury, says Parnell
comes out without stain. The New York
Herald, says the report is complete verdict of
guilty while the Newcastle Leader saws it is
Gqzette says the charges are proved up to the
hiit while the Bristol Mercury says Parnelrs
glory Is moro brilliantly and clearly proved
than ever. The Edinburgh Scotsman says Mr..
Parnell cannot be congratulated on the result,
while the Scottish Louder says he has supremacy
triumphed. The Freemans journal of Dublin
says it is an absolutely crushing judgment
against the Times, while the Dublin Express
says the moral weight Of the verdict against
the defendants is northumberland SO on
throughout the length and bre adth of the land.
Every paper is perfectly satisfied with the re-
port and argues the conclusion arrived at from
its own particular point OF view

diamonds into this country and, fearing dis

was over Jacob asked for the return OF the
diamonds. Royozinsky. it is said, refused to
give them up. This led to quarrel and Jacob
threatened the others life Another cause is

Royozinskys niece. His suit prospered until it

to allow him to enter the house and Jacob
became furious.

A Result of Russian Prejudice

Louis Rubenstein, America s champion figure
skater, who defeated all competitors the other
day at st. Petersburg, will not receive first
prize after all. Last night the Montreal Ga
zette received a special cable from st. Peters,
burg as follows: "Rubenstein, though defeat
ing competitors, has been refused first prize:
Judges changing minds, though announcing
RuDenstein champion when competition was
finished" This result is due entirely to Ru-
bernstein being Jew. In letter to his family
a week before the contest came off he expressed
fears that his religion would interfere with his
gaining the prize. The matter has been brought
to the attention of the cabinet at Ottawa, and
Sir John Macdonald and Secretary of State
Chapleau say that the thing will be looked into.

Why She Was Impatient,

From the New York Ledger.
AS Boston horse-car was going north the
other evening, with young lady and an old
gentleman as sole passengers, the maiden ex-
hibited symptoms of impotence at the slow
progress made. The car had to halt for q
team on the track, and she would have got off
but for the gentleman, who said: Its only for
half minute-don't be impatient" Then the
car waited two minutes on a switch, aud she
put her head out of the window, then got out
walked UP and down, and was on the platform
when he said:
There comes the other car. You seem SO
impatient that am led to believe that some of
your family are sick. Is it sop
''They are all unusually WE'LL" she replied, as
she took her seat again.
One block more and the car left the track
She waited half minute to see if it could be
hauled on again right away and then she started
to go.
''It will be all right in minute" protested
the old gentleman.
Cant see it," she CURLY replied
Then you will go?'
IL will"
''And it isn't sickness?"
''See here" she said, standing on the lower
step, 'if you are dying to know the cause of
my hurry, will tell you. Ny beau is to be at
the house at $50 and I'm not going to run the
risk OF losing good offer for all the old men
and all the street cars in the world. There!
Does that make you feel any better?"
The old man pondered it as the car slowed
around and bounced and bobbed and he con-
Guided that she was perfectly correct, though q
little impudent.
