HE RELATES HIS THRILLING EXPERI
ENCE IN THE METROPOLIS.
Wtijr He Wished to Kniconce llluueir In
llrown Sloiio front Houso Mow He
Wks Blinl Out nt Night In i II rent Clrr.
The Middle Clum Hie Uuderer.
1 dlillko to ionk of my moving In Now
York for several reasons. In tlio Unit placo
It is a very old subject, anil In tho second
placo It Is nn Intensely disagreeable one
to mo.
Last year I was unfortunate. I spent tho
mouth of April looking fur a house, mid
Anally iloehlixl to tako tho I'lummor house,
iu tho teimnts thero were good cople, but
wcro going to Europe to Imvo fun with sotno
of tho monarchies. Tho hou.su wns n good
0110, with Crotou water and sower gas In it,
and as 1 had boon denied tho pleasure of
sleeping In u room whurol could blow out tho
sowor gas nt night, 1 secured tho plnco.
Later, however, tlio I'lumiueni concluded
to tnko tho Minks houso for thu summer, In
stead of Jarring tho nlready tottering dynas
ties of tho old world. Tho Mlnkses wero to
tako tho Olds house, nud tho Oldse wcro go
lug Into tlio l'nugborn houso. l'nngbom's
folks claimed that thoy wcro going Into tho
Uutlcdgo placo on tho first of tho mouth,
provldod tlio Uutlcdges moved Into tho
Schwartz house. Tho Sehwnrtzes had not
yet fully decided whothorto keep their house
Another year.
About three days beforo tho 1st Schwartz
concluded that ho would rather have tho
Stlkcleathur place, which ho could get at the
samo price, nud so ho cabled mo through tho
Itutlcdgcs, tho 1'iuigborns, tho Oldses, tho
Mlnkses nud tho l'lummers Hint everything
was all right. I, therefore, cnuglit n stair
carpet In my teeth and "gliding down tho
buiiiiUtcrV' ripKxl tho costly fabrlo from
domo to basement, Uliiug tho air with btulr
rods and tho dandrulT of time. 1 rolled up
this cur)et nud left it In tho hall for Intimate
friends to fall ovor, and then went out on
tlio street to xecuro ti miiu who would bo
willing to movo us on moving day to tho
I'lummcr place.
1 was real glnd to secure tho I'lummcr
houso, for, ns 1 say, It had every convenlonco
and looked so much like all tho other houses
on that sticet that when n mnti went In it ho
felt as though ho owned tho whole block. 1
nlways thought, too, that there was n kind
of vnguo, Indefinite feeling nbout stealing
Into one of those extremely and abnormally
similar brown stono high stoop houses nt
night which reminded mo of tho singular yet
pleasing apprehension ono feels when ono
lias quenched his thirst nt night on n sleeping
car and returns to gently cuter n berth which
lias no originality nbout its exterior, but may
contain his own clothes or tho clothes of nn
othor, forlthas no distinguishing berth mark,
as it were, and ono does not know w hcthcr
one will bo shot dend by an infuriated man
who is lying nwnko to defend his Wutcrbury
watch with ids life or bitten by a set of arti
ficial teeth tied to tho inside of tho curtain.
Ilut 1 was speaking of tho I'lummor placo.
It lookod plain on tho outside, but had cute
little rooms which could bo richly furnished
by putting a rug and a chair In each one.
Tho parlor also had room for nn ottoman,
provided It was not it very largo ottoman.
Tho back jiarlor.eould bo profusely and lux
uriantly furnished by putting in an album
and it picture of Abraham Lincoln signing
tho Emancipation proclamation, which I had
purchased of n connoisseur. It had n scraper
at thu door nud tin iron hitching ost in front
of tho house where tho nobility could tlo their
teams when they came to spend tho day
with us.
Tho hall was Just wldoonough tondmlt u
moderate sized man after ho had taken his
overcoat oH. livery thing was clltc, cozy
and dcboiinnlro. There was an antique nlr
about tho wholo houso also. It was an nlr
that scorned to hnvo been banded down from
tlio dead past. It wan such an nlr us an anti
quarian might pick up tn tho Catacombs una
bring homo with him to put Into n house, I
hardly know how to describe It, but It Im
pressed you nt once, and you concluded that
some very old family hud lived thero as long
as thoy could and had then died.
So 1 wanted to hnvo tho I'lummcr houso
and Impress iooplo with tho inct that wo
wero u good deal older family than wo look
to bo. As a matter of fact, wo do not spring
from a very long lino, but have worked our
way up into notice by our own efforts, Uko
tho l'rinco of Wales.
On tho 1st day of May n man enmo around
to our houso driving a largo, green second
hand tiger van. It lookod some Uko tho van
of civilization, but tho man who drove it was
drunk. Otherwise ho was a perfoct gentle
man. Ho talked freely with mo and looked
at our album w hllo I was strapping a trunk.
Ho said It was wonderful how folks hod Im
proved In making pictures. Look nt tho
pictures that wero taken during tlio warl 1
6ald yes, certainly Look at anything and
see how diilcrent it was from something olsa.
1 said this with a tinge of bitterness, for I
was in a hurry to get moved out, as tho
Luukerscs had already begun to move into tho
bouso wo wcro leaving.
Uo then closed tho book wearily and began
to smoll of some bottles which ho found in n
hamper, llo tried several times to lit his
largo, spongy noso to one of these, bottles, but
did not succeed liy that time 1 had put bov
eral of tho heavier urticles in tho van, and ho
helped carry tho brlo-a-brao and load It In.
At 11 o'clock tho purudo started, with tho
right resting on Two Hundred and First
street aud tlio left on tho opposite tide from
that Wo reached Union square at 5:30 p.
rn., without having uoou utscovereu uy rov
ing bands from tho Tammany reservation,
and halted for food and water, Intending to
cross tlio Fourteenth street divide nud camp
on thu Dry Porks of Little Fifth uveuuo for
tho night, that being thu plucu where the
i'luminer rauch was situated.
Whilo tho hones wero taking much needed
nourishment from a pair of noso bags aud I
had gone to u concealed spring In ono corner
of thu Morton house for water, a breathless
messenger boy cumo up to tho driver with u
noto stating that Stlkelcathcr hud decided
not to glvo up his house, aud so tho
Schwartzes had uo placo to go, but had de
cided to remain in their own house, it was
tho samo with tho Ilutlcdgcs, thu l'angborus,
thu Oldscs, tho Mlnkses aud tho l'luiumers.
I did not kuow what to da
Looking down at the ground, tho more
readily to think of something, I thought I
saw a footprint. Following tho spoor for a
short distance 1 enmo to nn hostelry, in which
1 remembered to liavo stopped before. Driv
ing thu van up to the front door and calling
out tho proprietor, 1 said to hlmt "Sir, here
tofore you hnvo objoctcd to mo on tho
grounds that 1 hod uo baggage. Will you
plouso cheek this van nud glvo mo u good
room connected with tho swearing salon."
Tho rich and jwor do not worry so much
over this matter as tho great middle class.
Tho rich do not bavo to move nud tho poor
have very little to move, but tho middle
classes, who load themselves down with a
feeble imitation of grandeur, aud yet do not
feel able to own a house, have to suffer, .11111
