conner up in about the space of flash of
lightning, and then remarked, "Mebbe
yer friend I'D like ter catch a dame and
spiel wild her.
This suggestion having been trans
lated by the Major into English, tinged
with rich brogue, Mr.. De Lancey said
that he would be charmed" and the
three proceeded to the dancing platform,
although the Major codghed with u
pathetic cadence that told its own story.
When Mr.. Algernon De Lancey reached
the dancing platform and realized what
sort of company he was in, his heart be-
gan to fail him and he would have given
anything to be at home ogain. "Ohi why
did ever dream of political eminenceW
he cried to himself. ~ don't think / was
cut out for an Assemblyman, and how
the deuce l can make myself popular
with this crowd, I don't know.
The gentlemen who were present were
dancing with vigor and abandon that
fairly shook the platform, and their
partners were not behind in the same re-
spect.
Derby hats, worn over the left ear, were
prevalent, and Mr.. De Lancey saw for the
first time in his life putative diamond
stud worn in an undeniable flannel shirt.
smoking and dancing went on at the same
time, and he marvelied at the dexterity
with which the gentlemen kept their
cigars from burning their partners ears.
The ladies were apparently shop girls and
many of them were decidedly pretty. Red
sacques, suggestive of the flaming sword
at the gates of Eden, predominated and
lent picturesque touches of color to the
scene.

were fixed on the young statesman who
bowed and remarked:-"Ch gentle

had been evolved.

As it lacked about three months of the
time for the nomination of candidates he
decided to employ the time in making
himself popular with the voters.
There's nothing like getting ac-
quainted with all classes of the people"
said young Mr.. De Lancey as he drew on
his gloves and sailed forth to make the
acquaintance of some of his future con-
stituents. His first stop was at the
corner saloon of Eddie Donohue, with
whom he had an acquaintance and who
had promised his Influence" in the pro-
posed campaign.
Donohue was one of his tenants, and to
tell the truth, it was the willy saloonkeeper
who had filed young De Lancey's head
with political aspirations, knowing well
that il he conld induce him to make an
active canvass of the district the Donohue
saloon would be the headquarters of all
the voters in the neighborhood and num-
berless would be the bottles of wine called
for and rounds of drinks ordered by the
young millionaire and his political
friends.
Good evenin' to We, Mr.. De Lancey,"
exclaimed Mr.. Donohue cordially as the
embryo politician entered the liquor
store; then in an undertone he added "it's
lucky We called in now, fur there's ould
Meejor Donovan sittin' there furninst
the bar an there's not a man in this or
any other warrud in the city as is betther
known or better loiked be the people than
that same Meejor Donavan. Hould bit

Pm wild YER exclaimed the Major
promptly, as he marched to the bar with
the precision of a veteran, San We can

''Meejor," said the old saloon Keeper,
calmly ignoring the others suggestion,
slet me Introduce We to Mr.. De Lancey;
this is the gentleman tould ye was goinl'
to make a canvass of the district next fall.
Sure, I'm glad to meet ye," exclaimed
the Major, Fan its high time for the

Whats yours, Bill?" said Mr.. Dona-
hue, looking directly over his landlords
shoulder. Mr.. De Lancey turned his head
and saw people emerging. from the
shadowy corners of the apartment while
others hurried in through the door. He
had no idea there were so many men in
themselves in front of the bar his amaze

Gypsy Encampment.
Special to the Su,aiau Morning Meas.
NYAcK, August 10, 1889. = Moon
light nights, at least those that were
clear, have been spent in straw rides
to various places of interest about
here. Early in the week a merry
party, the guests of Mr., Reed, OF
Brooklyn, who occupies pretty cot
tage here, went on straw ride to
Rockland Lake. Here they stopped
at an old fashioned farmhouse and
had supper and country dance. A
number of similar parties have helped
to make the week pleasant notwith-
standing the disagreeable weather.
1t has been unusually pleasant
about the hotels this week, and the
parlor entertainments have proved
affairs of much enjoyment.
ABOUT THE HOTELS.
At the Prospect House the hop and
euchre party were delightful innova-
tions in the usual routine of the week.
A large number OF guests are at the
house, which has for years been q
popular hotel. The Tappan Zee Hotel
has been compelled to refuse large
number of applicants tor board, and
every room is filled. The wet weather
has made little difference to this
hotel in business way, and the sea-
son has been q most profitable one.
The usual hop was given here on Sat
urday evening.
FORTUNE TELLING BY GYPSIES.
A gypsy encampment has located on
the top of the South Mountain, just
above Grand View, a suburb of Nyack,
and by far the finest portion of the
town. The gypsies are here only for
few days, SO they say, and are reap
ing q harvest of silver coin by telling
fortunes. From the hotels and from
the cottages about parties of ladies
and gentlemen climb the mountains
daily TO learn what Fate has in store
for them. The encampinent is in it
self worth visiting, and is gotten up in
a picturesque manner not often seen
among the modern gypsies.~ The young
girls of the troop are both bright and
pretty, remarkably clean, and dressed
in true gypsy fashion. Their advent
has created quite furore. especially
alnongt he unmarried feminine portion
of Grand View, where there is but one
Romeo to q dozen Juliets Should the
gypsy girls prove as attractive in man
ner as they are in appearance no
doubt measures will be taken to secure
their departure before the one Apollo
of the place is spirited away.
The pretty little steam launch be-
longing to Mr. Samuel Elliott carried
a party up the Hudson on Monday
night as far as West Point. The
night was beautiful and the guests
thoroughly enjoyed the trip.
Some of the latest arrivals from
Jersey City are Mr.. and Mrs. II. ID.
Marvin, Mrs. Ella Stone, Mrs. Gran
mer, Miss Renie Cranmer and Mr..
George Searle.
On Thursday evening the guests at
the Tappan Zee Hotel gave an enter
tainment in the hotel parlors. The
music was excellent and the tableaux
very pretty. About $500 was realized
and will be donated to q Fresh Air
Fund.
Mr.. w. Z. Gratten, of Jersey City,
was most active in furtherlng the ar
rangements for the entertainment and
making it successful. EIDDA.

The Meaning Of the Word Limited,
as Applied to Corporations.

1t has become somewhat common
nowadays to see the word "limited,"
in parenthesis, after the titles of cor
porations, and it is safe to say that
people generally do not understand
the significance of this term, though,
of course, business men do. An eX-
PLANTATION Of it, as stated in one of our
exchanges, may, therefore be of gen.
eral interest. The old principal of
corporations created by legislative act
was that the entire property of every
stakeholder was liable for the whole
of the company, as the whole proper
ty of every member of a general part
nership is still liable for the debts of
the firm. This system made every
shareholder responsible for bad man
agement, of which he might not be
guilty, and deferred wealthy men
from becoming interested in the
shares of corporations. To remove
this objection the principle of limited
responsibility was introduced, and in
order to notify the public that only
the separate property of the corpora
tion was liable for the debts of the
corporation, the English law requires
that the word "limited" shall be used
in every case by the company in con-
nection with its title. Most Ameri-
can corporations are constituted on
the principle of limited liability, and
but few, if any, Of the States enioin
the companies formed under their
laws to append the word ''limited"
to their corporate titles. The matter
is so generally understood in this
country by business men, however,
that it is not deemed necessary,
though many companies dOit Of their
own accord.
The most noteworthy exception to
the general rule is the case of the
national bank, but even in this in
stance liability is limited to an
amount equal to the par value of the
shares held. That is, if the national
bank fails, each stakeholder may not
only lose what he has invested, bu
800 more for each share of the stock
he holds, if so much is necessary e
} pay the debts Of the bank. Unit
within a few YEARS all the Scottish
banks were organized with unlimit
ed liability, and when, some eight O.
ten years ago, Glasgow bank failed
disastrously, there were cases of mel
who only owned a share or two
valued before the failure at not mucl
more than 500, who were assessed
3 thousands of pounds sterling to NEE
I the debts of the bank. Since tina
. time the Scottish banks have beer
I allowed to reorganize on a Limited
D liability basis.
