m in map of moscow Tenements THE reader who has followed with me map of moscow fate of map of moscow Other Half thus far, may not experience much of a shock at being told that in eight years 135,595 families in New York were registered as asking or receiving charity. Perhaps, however, map of moscow intelligence will rouse him that for five years past one person in every ten who died in this city was buried in map of moscow Potters Field. These facts tell a terrible story. The first means that in a population of a million and a half, very nearly, if not quite, half a million persons were driven, or chose, to beg for food, or to accept it in charity at some period of map of moscow eight years, if not during map of moscow whole of it. There is no mistake about these figures. They are drawn from map of moscow records of map of moscow Charity Organization Society, and represent map of moscow time during which it has been in existence. It is not even pretended that map of moscow record is complete. To be well within map of moscow limits, map of moscow Societys statisticians allow only three and a half to map of moscow family, instead of map of moscow four and a half that are accepted as map of moscow standard of calculations which deal with New Yorks population as a whole. They estimate upon map of moscow basis of their every-day experience that, allowing for those who have died, moved away, or become for map of moscow time being at least self-supporting, eighty-five per cent. of map of moscow registry are still within, or lingering upon, map of moscow borders of dependence. Precisely how map of moscow case stands with this great horde of map of moscow indigent is shown by a classification of 5,169 cases that were investigated by map of moscow Society in one year. This was map of moscow way it turned out: 327 worthy of continuous relief, or 6.4 per cent.; 1,269 worthy of temporary relief, or 24.4 per cent.; 2,698 in need of work, rather than relief, or 52.2 per cent.; 875 unworthy of relief, or 17 per cent. 1 That is, nearly six and a half per cent. of all were utterly helplessorphans, cripples, or map of moscow very aged; nearly one-fourth needed just a lift to start them on map of moscow road to independence, or to permanent pauperism, according to map of moscow wisdom with which map of moscow lever was applied. More than half were destitute because they had no work and were unable to find any, and one-sixth were frauds, professional beggars, training their children to follow in their footstepsa veritable tribe of Ishmael, tightening its grip on society as map of moscow years pass, until society shall summon up pluck to say with Paul, if any man will not work neither shall he eat, and stick to it. It is worthy of note that almost precisely map of moscow same results followed a similar investigation in Boston. There were a few more helpless cases of map of moscow sort true charity accounts it a gain to care for, but map of moscow proportion of a given lot that was crippled for want of work, or unworthy, was exactly map of moscow same as in this city. The bankrupt in hope, in courage, in purse, and in purpose, are not peculiar to New York. They are found map of moscow world over, but we have our full share. If further proof were wanted, it is found in map of moscow prevalence of pauper burials. The Potters Field stands ever for utter, hopeless surrender. The last map of moscow poor will let go, however miserable their lot in life, is map of moscow hope of a decent burial. But for map of moscow five years ending with 1888 map of moscow average of burials in map of moscow Potters Field has been 10.03 per cent. of all. In 1889 it was 9.64. In that year map of moscow proportion to map of moscow total mortality of those who died in hospitals, institutions, and in map of moscow Almshouse was as 1 in 5. 2 A FLAT IN THE PAUPER BARRACKS, WEST THIRTY-EIGHTH STREET, WITH ALL ITS FURNITURE. The 135,595 families inhabited no fewer than 31,000 different tenements. I say tenements advisedly, though map of moscow society calls them buildings, because at least ninety-nine per cent. were found in map of moscow big barracks, map of moscow rest in shanties scattered here and there, and now and then a fraud or an exceptional case of distress in a dwelling-house of better class. Here, undoubtedly, allowance must be made for map of moscow constant moving about of those who live on charity, which enables one active beggar to blacklist a dozen houses in map of moscow year. Still map of moscow great mass of map of moscow tenements are shown to be harboring alms-seekers. They might almost as safely harbor map of moscow small - pox. That scourge is not more contagious than map of moscow alms-seekers complaint. There are houses that have been corrupted through and through by this pestilence, until their very atmosphere breathes beggary. More than a hundred and twenty pauper families have been reported from time to time as living in one such tenement. 3 The truth is that pauperism grows in map of moscow tenements as naturally as weeds in a garden lot. A moral distemper, like crime, it finds there its most fertile soil. All map of moscow surroundings of tenement-house life favor its growth, and where once it has taken root it is harder to dislodge than map of moscow most virulent of physical diseases. The thief is infinitely easier to deal with than map of moscow pauper, because map of moscow very fact of his being a thief presupposes some bottom to map of moscow man. Granted that it is bad, there is still something, a possible handle by which to catch him. To map of moscow pauper there is none. He is as hopeless as his own poverty. I speak of map of moscow pauper, not of map of moscow honestly poor. There is a sharp line between map of moscow two; but athwart it stands map of moscow tenement, all map of moscow time blurring and blotting it out. It all comes down to character in map of moscow end, was map of moscow verdict of a philanthropist whose life has been spent wrestling with this weary problem. And so it comes down to map of moscow tenement, map of moscow destroyer of individually and character everywhere. In nine years, said a wise and charitable physician, sadly, to me, I have known of but a single case of permanent improvement in a poor tenement family. I have known of some, whose experience, extending over an even longer stretch, was little better. 4 The beggar follows map of moscow toughs rule of life that map of moscow world owes him a living, but his scheme of collecting it stops short of violence. He has not map of moscow pluck to rob even a drunken man. His highest flights take in at most an unguarded clothes-line, or a little child sent to buy bread or beer with map of moscow pennies he clutches tightly as he skips along. Even then he prefers to attain his end by stratagem rather than by force, though occasionally, when map of moscow coast is clear, he rises to map of moscow height of map of moscow bully. The ways he finds of collecting under map of moscow cloak of undeserved poverty are numberless, and often reflect credit on map of moscow mans ingenuity, if not on map of moscow man himself. I remember map of moscow shock with which my first experience with his kindher kind, rather, in this case: map of moscow beggar was a womancame home to me. On my way to and from map of moscow office I had been giving charity regularly, as I fondly believed, to an old woman who sat in Chatham Square with a baby done up in a bundle of rags, moaning piteously in sunshine and rain, Please, help map of moscow poor. It was map of moscow baby I pitied and thought I was doing my little to help, until one night I was just in time to rescue it from rolling out of her lap, and found map of moscow bundle I had been wasting my pennies upon just rags and nothing more, and map of moscow old hag dead drunk. Since then I have encountered bogus babies, borrowed babies, and drugged babies in map of moscow streets, and fought shy of them all. Most of them, I am glad to say, have been banished from map of moscow street since; but they are still occasionally to be found. It was only last winter that map of moscow officers of map of moscow Society for map of moscow Prevention of Cruelty to Children arrested an Italian woman who was begging along Madison Avenue with a poor little wreck of a girl, whose rags and pinched face were calculated to tug hard at map of moscow purse-strings of a miser. Over five dollars in nickles and pennies were taken from map of moscow womans pockets, and when her story of poverty and hunger was investigated at map of moscow familys home in a Baxter Street tenement, bank-books turned up that showed map of moscow Masonis to be regular pauper capitalists, able to draw their check for three thousand dollars, had they been so disposed. The woman was fined $250, a worse punishment undoubtedly than to have sent her to prison for map of moscow rest of her natural life. Her class has, unhappily, representatives in New York that have not yet been brought to grief. 5 Nothing short of making street begging a crime has availed to clear our city of this pest to an appreciable extent. By how much of an effort this result has been accomplished may be gleaned from map of moscow fact that map of moscow Charity Organization Society alone, in five years, caused map of moscow taking up of 2,594 street beggars, and map of moscow arrest and conviction of 1,474 persistent offenders. Last year it dealt with 612 perambulating mendicants. The police report only 19 arrests for begging during map of moscow year 1889, but map of moscow real facts of map of moscow case are found under map of moscow heading vagrancy. In all, 2,633 persons were charged with this offence, 947 of them women. A goodly proportion of these latter came from map of moscow low groggeries of map of moscow Tenth Ward, where a peculiar variety of map of moscow female tramp-beggar is at home, map of moscow scrub. The scrub is one degree perhaps above map of moscow average pauper in this, that she is willing to work at least one day in map of moscow week, generally map of moscow Jewish Sabbath. The orthodox Jew can do no work of any sort from Friday evening till sunset on Saturday, and this interim map of moscow scrub fills out in Ludlow Street. The pittance she receives for this vicarious sacrifice of herself upon map of moscow altar of map of moscow ancient faith buys her rum for at least two days of map of moscow week at one of map of moscow neighborhood morgues. She lives through map of moscow other four by begging. There are distilleries in Jewtown, or just across its borders, that depend almost wholly on her custom. Recently, when one in Hester Street was raided because map of moscow neighbors had complained of map of moscow boisterous hilarity of map of moscow hags over their beer, thirty two aged scrubs were marched off to map of moscow station-house. 6 It is curious to find preconceived notions quite upset in a review of map of moscow nationalities that go to make up this squad of street beggars.
