Tho Old Board Reelected and an Increase
 of Stock Agreed to-
 NEW HAVEN, Dec 20.-At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the New ork, New Haven and Hartford railway, the old board of directors was reelected In re- sponse to a request that the cause of the petition for an increase of capital stock be given and the purpose of the directory if such increase were allowed, President Clark made long address, He stated that the increase was for the purpose and for such an amount as would enable the road to provide for its bonded and floating indebtedness, and to make permanent additions and improve ments to its property and to provide for the purchase of additional rolling stock which may be made necessary by increasing busi- ness If 1t were necessary to set limit to the amount, s5O,OO0, 900 would not be ex- cessive. The stockholders unanimously com mended the purpose of the directors and hoped the general assembly would grant such legislation as would favor the increase of capital stock,

No Queens or Kings,

That creature around whom has been woven such exaggerations of romance-ths gypsy queen-is but another creation of the imagination. Despite all assertion to the contrary, despite the fact that an imposing funeral was accorded dead Romany woman Matilda Stanley-at Dayton, O., some years ago and supposed by outsiders to be queen Qf the gypsies,' no American gypsy acknowledges any such authority, either tltulary or in reality. The prevalent idea held by outsiders that any among them is en- titled to royal prerogative is matter with them for ridicule and laughter. Prominent among Romany characteristics is the desire to mislead those not of their race in regard to their methods of existence They possess a keen enjoyment in the absurdities of others particularly if these absurditles are errors about themselves.
