JUSTICE WAITE’S ESTATE.

Civil-Service Commissioner Edgerton Shocked by the Meddling of Busybodies. [Washington special J Civil-Service Commissioner Edgerton is very indignant over the published report that the family of the late Chief Justice Waite is in great financial distress. The Post publishes an interview with him or the subject in which he says that whih the reports are absurd he fears that they may be believed by unthinking people. He says that Judge Waite’s sons are both well-to-do, and whatever their father’s estate may have been, the family is not likely to want for anything. What displeased Mr. Edgerton most is that the subject should be discussed at all. Such an interference in the private affairs of the family in the midst of Mrs. Waite’s great distress he regards as unwarrantable and indecent.
