What is Said at the State Department About the Berlin Conference. State department officials absolutely decline to discuss the Samoan conference or the Bebr- ing sea tangle. Of the former, they admit that matters are in such shape as to warrant the expectation of a speedy conclusion of the conference, comparatively unimportant details only remaining to be adjusted. But upon the provisions of the treaty, if a 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 ious reason for this course lies in the fact that important amendments are often le by the Senate, after treaties have m ar- ranged by the diplomatic officerg of the treaty powers, So radical are these c! in fact that they kave catsed the failure of pending treaties, a notable instance occurring in the last Congress.

After getting what education he could at the irregular country schools he bought and borrowed the books used in fittin, for college and mastered them. Then decid- ing to enter the law he look friends to loan him gears none te go to the Harvard law school. But since no one who would loan him a considerab! without security he had to resort to a common, but unpleasant plan. He had his life insured and the policy made over to the me Gexaeged who thereupon advanced him 1 y id it he is astern and before the him he succumbs to exhaustion : om morning three snakes he home, the night petore On eeewing banat ee be std two, but one waa stil missing.

The superintendent of the census, Mr. Porter, has recommended to the Secretary of the Interior the appointment of Mr. J.

The trial of the suit of the Interstate tele- graph company against the Baltimore and Ohio telegraph company has been begun in the United States circuit court in Balti- more before Judges Bond and Mor- Tis. The amount of damages claimed is $50,000, In 1885 the Baltimore and Ohio telegraph company entered into an agree- ment with the Interstate company that, if the latter would build a_ line from De- troit, Mich., to Avilla, Ind., and Fostoria, lll, it would exchange business with the Interstate company, each company to give to the other all business coming to its office for points on the line of the other not reached by its own lines, The Balti- more and Ohio telegraph company agreed that in case it should at any time seil or transfer its lines to any other company, it would make proper provision for the interstate company, The delaration of the interstate company states that about October, 1887, the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph com- any did transfer its lines to the Western nion without making such provision. This failure to keeps its contract rendered the lines of the interstate company, which cost €40,000, practically worthless, = ee ee THE GIRL OF THE PERIOD. She Disdains Even the Trouble of Teaching Her Grandmother. From the London Queen. The girl of seventeen, whose ideal of music is “Dorothy” and who can just strum through “The Queen of My Heart” and the last new waltz or polka, finds Chopin and Mendelssohn deadly dull and old-fashioned when played by one of the older generation, She has been to aschool of art and can make an indifferent sketch in chalks of a plaster of paris hand or foot, so thinks she can afford to look down on the somewhat over-smooth and over-colored, but pretty and artistic water colors of twenty years ago. She has been toa banjo class, to anambulance class, toa cooking class, and though the wounded or the hungry would come off very badly if they depended on her efforts, she has at least learned enough to be able to lay down the law to her relations. She has also ‘gone in for” some branches of art or science, of which she supposes her mother and aunts barely know the names. Then as to amusements, Croquet, according to her, was a game only fit for the inmates of a lunatic asylum. She ridicules any of the games that made pleasant evenings twenty years ago; itis not thatshe does not care for them, and says so, but she condemns them as absurd, im- possible, the offspring of a diseased brain! She is, as was said of Lord Macauley, “cock sure of everything,” and of nothing more than of the superiority of the young over the old. tis something to be thankful for that we have not reached the standard of manners which still prevails in some parts of Australia, Polynesia, and Africa, where the absence of old people was noticed by some inquiring trav- eler, and he was informed that as soon as they arrived at decrepitude they were painlessly killed and found a ready tomb in the maws of the younger members sof the tribes. The Average Man Disappointing. From the Philadelphia Sunday School Times, A common method of planning for a desired result in the sphere of benevolent endeavor is based on averages. If a certain amount of money is to be raised in a church or in a Sun- day school or in a community, it is very easy to see that an average of so much to each mem- ber will secure all that is desired. If a cer- tain work is to be done which involves a speci- fied number of workers, it is obvious that an average of so many workers to a given field will be ample for the necssities of the case. This simple sum in arithmetic is very often ac- cepted as the warrant for a hope of results that would gladden the hearts oF multitudes; but unfortunately the issue is ordinarily very far short of the expectation.

NO SEWER THROUGH LEDROIT AVENUE. ‘Twe Sran has heretofore referred to Gen- eral Birfey’s request hog e Commissioners run a sewer through LeDroit avenue to dary, provided that the ayenue should be ledicated to the public. Attorney Riddle, as will be remembered, saw mo objection to grant- ing the request, provided no property-owner on itobjected. it seems thet Shyections 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 pdlie is op- posed by residents of the place they deein it Inadvisible to commit the District to any policy of public improvements there. CLOSED To THE PUBLIC AT 2 P. M. The Commissioners to-day ordered that hereafter the portions of the District building not oceupied 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 19, calling their at- tention to the obstruction of the alley in square by the freight depot of the Baltimore and Potomac railroad. The alley im question, according to Capt. Symons, although legally and properly con- demned. has never been paid for, and there is areasonable 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 a public alley, and will, he thinks, be so held if an inhabitant who suffers by its obstruction complains and makes the needed affadavit. The Commissioners to-day wrote Messrs. Parker and Dwyer that they could take no action in the premises unless an inhabitant who suffers by the obstruction makes affadavit thereto. ~ The Walking Match.

From the American Cultivator, Some years since,in a certain town “out west,” it became necessary in a surgical case that an amputation of a limb should be made, The “regular” doctors in the country nowadays are great sticklers for the observance of the code of ethics, and this code discountenances advertising in all its forms. All the same, the surgeon in the smaller places rarely performs even the most trivial operation without acci- dentally dropping a word or two in the hearing of the local reporter, and should the paper chance to say that “Tom Jones fooled with a buzz saw, Dr. Pilbox dressed the wound. and Lane is doing as well as could be expected un- der the doctor's skillful treatment,” why, of course, the doctor can’t help that. ‘He is very much ‘annoyed, to be sure, but the thing is done, At the amputation above mentioned were present Drs. A, B,C, and D, and the en- terprising newsgatherer for the Weekly Hustler fcund the operation a veritable bonanza for his paper, and wrote it up in great style. Unfor- tunately he omitted the name of old Dr. D from his account, and the old doctor, — meeting him a few days later, “turned him over” in great shape for his alleged discourtesy. ‘The newspaper man made every apology and romised faithfully to make amends in the Fiustler of the weely followmg, and this is the way in which he dfq't: “‘In our account of the amputation in last week's issue we madvert- ently omitted the name of Dr.D. We have since been informed that the doctor was one of the leading surgeons in the case and ref materially in the operation. The patient last night at 8 o'clock.” A Strictly Judicial Answer.

It is quite easy to show by figures the economy of buying one’s house with the assist- ance of a building and loan association as com- pared with paying rent, The following state- ment is only given as a form of comparison; every prospective borrower can change the figures to suit his own locality. Cand D oceupy houses worth $3,000 each (lot $600 and building 2,400). © is a tenant, paying $25 per month. D, with @600 in cash, has borrowed $2,400 on twelve shares of a building and loan association and built hie house. Supposing that D's shares mature in twelve years, their accounts at the end of that period Will stand thus: € hus paid out £3,600 in rent, and has nothing to show for it, D has paid out: Monthly dus Interest...
