MOVE AND SAVE RENT.
New York Custom That IL of Equal
Heneht to Tenants and
Truekmen.

Before the era of apartment houses
the ordinary tenancy in New York was
a yearly one. dating from May /. Now
in many cases owners of apartment
houses have adopted the practice of
renting by the month, An objectiona
BILE tenant who had years lease and
continued to pay his rent promptly
could not easily be dispossessed, md for
this, and other reasons nearly as good,
the plan of renting by the month be
came general. One effect of it has been
to work considerable benefit to two i'm
portant classes of persons in New York
tenants and truckmen. IT is this
wise: \ tenant racates an apartment
on or soon after the first of the month
1t is vacant for some days-perhaps u
week. Inquiries are made OF the owner
agent or janitor. Prospective tenants
are, all of them. undecided. Then the
suggestion is made that the balance of
the month will be free to n desirable
tenant. The desirable tenant pays Il
months rent, which includes not only
the ensuing month but also the re-
naming portion of the month preced-
ing, and is. thereby. one, two or three
weeks rent free, n consideration which
is of considerable Importance to those
who move two or three times year and
nrc, perhaps, believers in the philoso-
ply of the well-known adnge: ut il
cheaper TO move than pay rent" This
practice has led to very material re
1uction in the revenues of landlord:
and to corresponding benefit to ten
nnts collectively.
Tenants, however, are not the only
gamers by this new system. Formerly
the truckman enjoyed his chief harvest
on or about May ], and to Il minor de
gree he had harvest on or about the
first of each month. At other times
there might be little demand for his
services. He found business slack.
With the establishment of the present
method. however; all this is changed,
Removals take place at any time in the
month. The services of the truckmen
are in pretty uniform demand.-N. Y.

son Reed, one Of the most prominent
citizens and prosperous planters Of

Mrs. Rlddick leaves two children,
Mrs. Ebert It. Riddick, of New York,
and Miss Eliza beth Riddlck, Of Wash

remains to the old home, HEREFORD. to
pay the last sad tribute of respect
The funeral was conducted in the
Holy Trinity Episcopal Church. Rev.
Mr.. Tolson officiating, and the Inter-
ment was made in the Reed burying
ground, where sleep the dear ones gone
before. Loving friends In Washington
sent flowers. those tokens of affection.
and friends and relatives in Hartford
gathered at the grave to look for the
last time on one who had given her Ire
and her love to make the world seem
brighter and the children of men hap
pier along the stony paths of life
Living, she was a Christian. She be-
lieved that true happiness consisted in
making others happy. and she followed
that precept all through life. Mrs.
Riddick was consistent member of the
Episcopal Church. and each Sunday
found her at the altar praying for tina
divine guidance which sustains us In
life and immortalizes us In death. She
has passed beyond the tribute of tears.
Dut she has left q name, a memory a
