CONSTABLE HAD A JOB.
Tenants Thought They Would Contest
 the Legality of Action.


 In one of the tenement buildings near the center the tenants agreed to nav their rent beforehand, for by this method they were Informed and con- vinced by their landlord, they would get their respective dwellings q dollar or two less than by paying ill the us ual way. The plan worked admirably to all appearances. aOnes evening two of the tenants discussed the legality of this way of doing business and, though one of the tenants did not care fig whether he paid his rent before or after it was due. it making no diff ference to him, he contended it was il legal and to test the matter he decided to refuse to pay until his month was up. That occurred few days ago and he was notified to 'git" But he didn't "git' and he said he would not "git," and the floor would fall out of the house and the whole business would collapse before he would, '.git" ]" This was just to test the legality of paying rent before the month was up. Nothing more. Upon the expiration of the time indicated in the notice to quit, the man being still in possession, another operation of the law happened, a few days grace had to be allowed, and when they expired and the man being still ill possession, the landlord thought it was about time to employ force. A constable was engaged and he in turn employed half a dozen men to remove the tenants goods But the elevation at which the man lived scared them; they could not move higher than the second floor. An other batch of men was secured and these proved no stronger than the others Likewise third batch. The constable then found he had to tackle the job himself and being fairly well paid for it he took his time. The | tenants who thought to ascertain how the law stood on the legality of paying rent beforehand are still in the dark. for though one of them had to "git'.' he still did not pay his rent. and the question is enveloped in the dark as much as ever.

MISS HALLS WIFE EXPLAINS
How the Former Came to Pose as a
 Man.

New York, Oct 2.-Miss Rosalia Bal delli, who passed as the wife of Miss Caroline WinsIow Hall. who died on the steamship Citta de Torine from Italy, told yesterday on board the ves- sel the story of her acquaintance with Miss Hall. Being unable to speak English she conversed in Italian through an interpreter. In substance her story is as folloWs:
 She met Miss Hall in Milan, Italy, ten years ago while she Miss BaldellD was a government school teacher. Miss Hall explained that she was an art student, whose home was in Boston, in the United States. The two women became great friends. Miss Hall adopted men's garb because it was easier for her to work in such clothes ill carrying on her studies at the art school in Milan. The two travelled over Italy, but it was not until 1897 that Miss Hall decided to assume the guiSe of a man. She took the name of Charles Winslow Hall and asked her Italian friend to assume the guise of her wife under the name of Guissep- panni Hall. All this was done because of Miss Halls belief that she would be subjected to much less annoyance than if they travelled simply as two young women @E In 1899 her health began to fail and learning from the physicians that she
 was suffering from tuberculosis she expressed a desire to go home to die at her home in Boston. It was upon this I that the two took passage for this country. Miss Baldelli said that she
 would accompany Miss Halls body to Boston when it shall be taken there by 1 Albert G. Hall. a relative of the dead
 woman. who has come on from Boston ! The body of Miss Hall was removed
 last night from Swinburne Island to 1 this city by an undertaken who had been engaged by A. c. Hall
