The LUhC's DciUU.

Hamlet refers to this in manner
which leads us 10 imagine that the au-
thor of that famous play must have had
some long windcd suit on hand think
New York can show some striking illus
lratinns of this kind. For instance, here
is Il partnership case which has been St.
ven years in prosecution and is not finish
ed get. This case is interesting because
OF the notoricty Of the parties and the a.
mount involved. The famous Stewart
had partner who died eight years ago,
leaving an interest in the concern worth
a million of dollars. The widow has
sued for this, and Stewart declines its
payment, alleging that the deceased had
dclrauded him for many years. Stew
art also ailirms that he has had experts
examining the books for several years
past. and that this service has cost one
hundred thousand dollars. When the
examination shall have been finished, he
will pay the claim. The widow, on the
other hand, pleads poverty and distress !;
and it does seem hard to wait SO long for
what is really her own. To some men
this is Il very little matter. Stewart, for
instance, has several lawyers working for
him all the time, and it makes little diff
ference whether their progress is fast or
slow, SO long as they meet their antago-
nisis at every juncture. Stewards right
hand man is Judge Hilton, n fine-looking
and highly gifted lawyer, who has the
confidence and almost affection of his en-
ployer. Hilton may run the partnership
suit seven years longer.
HOTEL GOSSIP.
Speaking of Stewart, l may mention
that he has another important case on
hand-that Of the Metropolitan Hotel
He has owned this establishment about
fifteen years, having purchased it at the
marvcllously low price of S55O,O0O. 1t
is now worth three times that sum. The
Lclands, who have carried on this house
for nearly twenty years, have recently
failed and Stewart now appears AS a
claimant for $4,000 rent. This is Sc
cured 10y mortgage on the furniture,
and this is no doubt the largest chattel
mortgage on record AS such an instru-
ment is made up of details, and cnumer-

not encouraging, The Metropolitan has
been in operation twenty years, and has
failed. What hotel has not Look at
