The Curious House Which a New York
Man Has Put Tn.

The narfowest house in this city may
be seen at the northwest corner of Lex
Ington avenue and Eighty-second street.
When Lexington avenue was cut
through, some years ago, strip oi
land 5 feet wide and 100 feet deep was
all that was left of certain lot belong
ing to person who did not own the
next lot on the street. The strip,
! Whlle OF little value by itself, would be
valuable to the person owning the adj
joining lot on Eighty-seeond street, be-
cause 1t would not only enable him to
build a house five feet wider, but would
!! give him windows all along the side of
| his house on Lexington avenue. The
Two owners, however, could not agree
! as TO the terms, and a house was erect
! ed on the lot adjoining the narrow strip.
! The owner of the latter had nothing to
do but abandon his lot.or build house
/ i've feet wide uponit The latter course
was perhaps adopted because such a
mousse would shut up all the side win
do"s OF the neighboring building and
considerably reduce its value
ihe new building, which has been
finished for some months, is therefore
hve feet wide. one hundred feet deep
and four stories high. 1t is divided into
two houses, each fifty feet long, and the
entrance doors are, of course. on the
avenne, as there is NO room fer door
at either end of the building. The law
allows building at the corner of a
street to have projecting bay windows
along the side, and taking advantage of
TINS circumstance, the architect has
managed to plan house, which. while
peculiar in inside appearance, and prob
ably very uncomfortable to live in, may
find tenants. Without these bay win
doWs or square projections running
from the foundation to the roof. II
would not have been possible to build
a mouse at all, for no room would.have
been wider than three feet Each house
has, therefore, two bay windows, in one
OF which are the stairs and In the other
one room about eight feet wide by fif-
teen feet long, upon each floor The
long passage between the stair-well and
the room is about three feet wide.
Each house contains a kitchen eight bv
fifteen feet and four rooms, each of the
same size, but on different floors There
are also lngeniousty-placed closets at
each end OF the building and under the
stairs. Both houses are occupied One
Is offered for rent at $500 year
Ii the object of the builder of these
extraordinary houses was simply to
shut out the light from his neiehbor's |
building, he would probably have ac-
complished the same end at much less |
expense by adopting Mr. George Kemp's |
device of sheet-iron shields Mr.. |
Kemp did not wish the occupants of the |
building in the rear of his house, at 72O |
Fifth avenue, to overlook his premises, |
and 50 he built an iron scaffolding in |
the back yard and placed iron shields |
against the obnoxious openings, shut
ting out the air and light as completely |
as a brick wall would have done. This
has been for years the |
source of no little comment from the
neighbors and passers-by by.-Neao York

State now known az Millegstogn. In 1887

came with their parents to Augueta, ex-
cept Conrad, who remained in Rennsyl-

Suicide Of a Courtezan,

Mrs. Hetty Shay, a white courtezan
about twenty-five years of age, who came
to Staunton six months ago from Harri-
sonburg. was found dead Tuesday morn
ing in her room in the house of Fapnie
Woods. colOred. in Court House Alley.

it of taking sprees AND lately. on the ap-
prehension that her "friend" was about to
be married, had threatened to take her

ago she procured a bottle of laudanum from
the drug store of g. W. May & Co., but
her friend took it away from her. He
went away on Sunday, as she feared to be
married, and Monday night she had the
laudanum bottle reflled and after fortify-
ing herself with liquor, drank the poison
She was dead when found in the morning.
