Vrom October to November of this
year it is estimated that upward of
100,000 families In New iork city
will remove from one home to anoth
er. 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.

nnd a pretty walk to the river. Now

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."
