In this connection It Is wild that 20,000 families have moved on nn average every three years; that 6000 have lived In one home for six years or less; that 2000 have had tenantcy of 15 years; that 500 have lived In one home for 25 years; that less than 100 have occupied the same house continually for 40 years, and that less than 10 have maintained the same home for 50 years. In the midst of this yearly rush and luistle there Is a tenant down In the old fourth yard Joseph Ostelly, shoemaker who has lived in one house, No. 37 Adams street, contin uously for 49 years, or since 1909. Tenements have grown up around him; the two-story siiult brick house es that formed his neighborhood half n century ago have been swept away, nnd their places taken by the double decker and the factory building; the almost clear view he had of the East river from his front door is cut off; the open lots where the boys, now grandfathers, used to have their games buve been built upon; the character of the dwellers round about has changed utterly, nnd swarming thou sands now throng the Rtreets that, when he first took possession, were e the streets of n village' The old shoemaker never failed to pay his rent promptly on the first of each month, nnd ho has paid to three generations of owners. He Is 7S; his wife Is 72. They have son hundreds of tenants dispossessed nround them and have henrd hundreds of com plaints against grasping landlords, but neither knows the meaning or eviction or Imposition, nnd now they are growing feeble nnd their earning capacity has been lessened I he rent has been gradually reduced until they pay 17 a month against $15 nnd $18 paid 30 and 40 years ngo. when the value of the land was not more than a third of what It Is today. "A long time to look back," said the old mnn yesterday, ns Tie exhibited A faded daguerrolype of himself, taken 50 years ago. "My wife and I have lived in this one spot since ls.'fl. We moved here from No. 49 James street. Our first landlord was William David Burns, one of the finest gentlemen ye ever met. He died and we continued to pay our run to his son, also William David Hurns. He died and now we are pay ing to the-grandson of the same name. He is ns good and kind as his father nnd grandfather. We never have missed a month, have we. mother? "lift me see our first rent In 1S59 was $t0 a month, and wo paid that until the war broke out. I was draft ed, but I paid for a substitute, and stayed at home making shoes, nnd they were good shoes, too. Trices went up In war times, and our rent was advanced to $12, then to $13. and finally to 918 a month. Everything was high in those days, but wc had no fault to find with Mr. Kurns, be cause we knew that he had to pay high for everything. After the war the rent was dropped again, nnd now we pay only $7. We have the best landlord In New York." The old shoemaker's eyes filled with tears. "The best landlord In New York." echoed the old wife. "Hut what n dif ference between now and the days when we first came. Then n quiet street, nnd little two-story houses like this one on James nnd Madison street. A few llllle children on the streets, nnd a pretty walk to the river. Now the great, ugly houses with the Iron stairs (fire escapes) In front. We used to go walking down to Battery Tark nnd sit on the grass. That was before the elevated railroads. Wo never had nny children. We never had to call a doctor. My husband never has been sick, "No," echoed the old mnn, "never sick. Every Sunday morning I get shaved nnd take n small drink of whiskey. On the week days a little larger, hut that Is nothing to tell about. We never missed paying the rent, did we, mother?" "Never, replied the wife, "and to the best landlord In New York." theatrical managers expect dill season gether these lines will relieve the grounds of 7000 people within the ! first fifteen minutes after a meet For theatrical lnff.
