Officers OF Corporations Not to be Exam
lined Before Trial.
Before Judge Lawrence.
Application was made in TINS Court yesterday on
behalf OF William II. Sistare Tor an order to ex-
anime A. 7. Conkling, President OF the Mechanics
and Traders Savings Institution, as a witness De-
fore trial. The suit has reference to the sae OF
stock or the Atlantic Mail steamship Company. 1t
IL stated In the complaint That Mr. Conkling
gave orders tor the sale OF 500 shares OF the
stock on account OF Mr. sistare; that subsequently
he gave similar order TO another broker; That
two lots OF 500 shares sold that the bank had
but one lot to deliver; that the stock rose In the
market, and that Mr.. Sistare found himself
''shorr' and in consequence suffered loss OF
$4,275, which he seeks to recover. Judge Law
renee, in accordance with a recent decision in the
Supreme Court, held that the section OF the code
authorizing the examination OF parties to actions
before trial. does not extend TO officers or corpora
tions, and, therefore, denied the application.

Leaving Park Place, we fastened
across the City Hall Park to get some
lunch at Nash q Faller's. We found in
that convenient but noisy restaurant
several newspaper men, including Chas.
A. Dana, who sat in high state on the
top Of tall cane bottomed stool, pa
tiently awaiting the preparation of an
oyster fry on toast, which was going on
just beneath his editorial eye. | never
meet Mr.. Dana but | am forced to ad-
mire his splendid physique aud impos-
ing presence. He is the most striking
looking man on the American press,
and inspires admiration and awe. Col.
John Hay -" Little Breeches = who
was also lunching here, is a universal
iavorite. He has most winning
and courteous manner, and is gentle
man to the core. Few of the younger
generation of American journalists have
had so superb training or are better
qualified for their work than Hay. In
Washington, as Lineoln's private secre-
tary, he learned all about National poll
ties and politicians; in the diplomatic
service he mastered foreign affairs;
while as leading editorial writer on the
Tribune he has had an experience
hardly less valuable Horace Greeley
used to praise his articles with enthusi-
asm, and certainly he has forcible, cul-
tivated and charming writer. One col
umn of BREWER is his daily stint, and
this is about the average of really good
writing which any one on the metropoli-
tan press turns out regularly.

As a matter of fact, these eternal af.
affairs last. in general way, until one
os the contracting parties marries their
ideal of man-and no longer. But
while they do continue in full bloom they
are things not to be spoken lightly of.
The friends are friends to positively
alarming extent. Many and desperate
are their vows and declarations. No man
shall sever them in the burden OF their
song, Admitting that they may be
trapped into matrimony, which, by the
way, is most remote contingency,
their husbands shall only have the sec
ond place IN their affections is their
declaration. They care about no ore
but each other, and this they render evi.
dent by attempting to snub or treat with
every ten people with whom they are
brought in contact. One cannot have a
thought without the other being made
acquainted with it; one cannot get a
new shawl or new dress without the
other longing to procure one OF a pre-.
cisely similar pattern. OF secrets they
possess countless number and of each
secret they are co-possessors. Traces of
these secrets are ever coming to the sur
face. You cannot be in the company of
the fair damsels for one hour without
being unpleasantly informed that some
people do not think so much of you as
you are in the habit of thinking OF your
self, and that there are many mysteries
in circulation which must be left mystic
ries so far as you are concerned. The
love the fair creatures bear each other is
often bubbling up, and thousand little
endearments and caresses are INDUCED
in which very quickly enable people to
form an opinion as to the state of the
case. A large portion of the " friends !
time is spent in selecting gifts for each
other. The brooches, the charms, the
earrings. the bracelets they wear, are all
marks of the ;nteEse affection in which
they are mutually held. They cannot
be separated without experiencing the
keenest pangs and inhicting an i'm
mense amount of labor upon the post
Office officials, for which those function
aries are, no doubt, sufficiently grateful.
All this would be very beautiful were it
not for several important facts. In q
general way the display of affection, in
its most exuberant developments, is
nothing more nor less than simple ai-
fectation. 1t is one Of the crazes to
which young ladies of sentimental
turn of mind seems to be addicted, and
which is invariably generated by the
reading of mawkish books or some flaw
in the system of EDUCATION which has
been pursued in reference to them. For
tunately, it does not last long.
