and not paying rent, DOM pay rent"
said Mrs Kelly, OF upper Fin avenue
yesterday, says the New Nork Uofid
Mfs. Kelly admitted that It vas not
from msii,rs Of pride or with any idoh
OF getting into the social swim that she
TOOK her family to live 10 fiftn avenue.
Ityasa matter OF necessity with her.
The Kelly family consists ot Mfs.
and Sir. kelly-the names are given
In this orior because ME-. Kelly IL
distinctly the head OF the family
three Kelly ohillfon, thirty chickens,
fifteen pigeons, twU dogs and an hg
gfessive goat. IL iia matter Of record
In Harlem that Kelly's goat has for
YEAR, maintained the reputation for
afistooratic arrogance that no olhef
goat ever tried TO approach.
The remnants Of tho Old-ilmo tqlai-
ter sovereignty are cliuging 10 the |
rocks In Harlem like barnaclcs 70
ship. Tho kollys held out a. lohg ~
they could, but nj last they were COM
pellsd 10 move into q shanty, which /
involved the payment of - month /
rent. While they could pay u they
did. When nil resources Jailed they
moved 10 now home H. Fun avenue
The Kellys took possession OF 4
Toomy lot al the corner OF One nun
ufsd and Twelfth street. IL was ak
feet below the street level ana sur.
rounded by high ience that proved
an insurmouHtable obstacle 10 lads who
wanted 10 play baseball. The hfst
thing Kelly did WAS 10 build house
on n, lilo iOTagod Ia other vacant lots
near BY TO procure lumber There are
no two planks In II ofthe same sizs or
color, aud they NJ % loosely that the
wind blows through i - through
corncfib; but II suited Kelly.
After ne had built his house, put up
a latch coop Tor his chickens, made n
home out Of Nh old Hour barrel Tor the
goat aud looked alter his dogs aud
pigeons no began to hunt iot tue owner
OF The lot. Asa matter Of fact, II was
MIR. Kelly who began the search,
much against the wishes OF her re-
loufceful husband. He thought II
would he time enough 10 make eKpla
lions when they were called for.
After considerable search Kelly !
ascerlained that the land belonged 10
an estate that was In litigation and that
Lawyer LAutefbach was the man 10
see. Bhs saw him and!told him with
pride OF the improvements Kelly had
made q the land.
"But there IL no water or drainage
there,0 said Mr.. LautsrbAch.
Airp. Kelly observed that II made
very little difference. IL he was Will.
ing 10 lot the Kelly family live on the
land rent ffee until the litigation was
,ettled, OF until IL was solo, they would
ook alter II for him. IL was agreed.
When Mt. Lsutefbach was diving by
,ne day, he took look nj tho property
md was surprised 10 fnd quite little
arm there. Everything was going
.long all right, apparently, until
helly'a neighbors began 10 complain
o the boAru o: health. They protested
hat the domicile Of the Kelly family
'melled unto heaven.
The difficulty about obtaining water
was overcome. There wasa fire by
dfant In Fifth avenue that leaked
badly, aud by frequent use Of pail
Tie kellys were AOle ~ keep = tair sup
ply OF water on hand. But the drain.
Several high apartment houses tower
towards the sky In the immediate
neighborhoOi Of the Kelly home. Poo-
Pile above tho second stories command
cd q view OF every thing that was going
on. Complaint was made that the
OF the Kelly 10 mily imported
At times NJ though they
lived In tho wilderness. They were
csftainly not used TO the custom, Of
Filth avenue. IL was resolved that the
ksIlya must get out.
This necessary orders were obtained
rom lhs board OF health and tho saul.
AIRY inspectors called win their iutsy
orders. Kelly met them with impef.
Iutbable gO0u humor. lie was always
promising 10 20, but he never went.
Finally one Inspector got angry anu
10 come around next day
with squad OF ten men and put the
cntire Kelly family on the pavement, |
but Kelly released one Of tho dogs /
that II takes y one.inch chain - hold, |
anu ths Inspector hurried away Anu !

nsighbors are getting impatient. Kelly |
Ia not worrying. lilo was talking with |
Mrs. Kelly yesterday about somv cheap |
method Of stopping up the uhlnks NJ /
that II would be fairy warm la the |
cold weather. Mrs. Kelly said that |
could be managed easy enough, but /
