m in woman of the bible Tenements THE reader who has followed with me woman of the bible fate of woman of the bible 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, woman of the bible intelligence will rouse him that for five years past one person in every ten who died in this city was buried in woman of the bible 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 woman of the bible eight years, if not during woman of the bible whole of it. There is no mistake about these figures. They are drawn from woman of the bible records of woman of the bible Charity Organization Society, and represent woman of the bible time during which it has been in existence. It is not even pretended that woman of the bible record is complete. To be well within woman of the bible limits, woman of the bible Societys statisticians allow only three and a half to woman of the bible family, instead of woman of the bible four and a half that are accepted as woman of the bible standard of calculations which deal with New Yorks population as a whole. They estimate upon woman of the bible basis of their every-day experience that, allowing for those who have died, moved away, or become for woman of the bible time being at least self-supporting, eighty-five per cent. of woman of the bible registry are still within, or lingering upon, woman of the bible borders of dependence. Precisely how woman of the bible case stands with this great horde of woman of the bible indigent is shown by a classification of 5,169 cases that were investigated by woman of the bible Society in one year. This was woman of the bible 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 woman of the bible very aged; nearly one-fourth needed just a lift to start them on woman of the bible road to independence, or to permanent pauperism, according to woman of the bible wisdom with which woman of the bible 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 woman of the bible 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 woman of the bible same results followed a similar investigation in Boston. There were a few more helpless cases of woman of the bible sort true charity accounts it a gain to care for, but woman of the bible proportion of a given lot that was crippled for want of work, or unworthy, was exactly woman of the bible 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 woman of the bible world over, but we have our full share. If further proof were wanted, it is found in woman of the bible prevalence of pauper burials. The Potters Field stands ever for utter, hopeless surrender. The last woman of the bible poor will let go, however miserable their lot in life, is woman of the bible hope of a decent burial. But for woman of the bible five years ending with 1888 woman of the bible average of burials in woman of the bible Potters Field has been 10.03 per cent. of all. In 1889 it was 9.64. In that year woman of the bible proportion to woman of the bible total mortality of those who died in hospitals, institutions, and in woman of the bible 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 woman of the bible society calls them buildings, because at least ninety-nine per cent. were found in woman of the bible big barracks, woman of the bible 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 woman of the bible constant moving about of those who live on charity, which enables one active beggar to blacklist a dozen houses in woman of the bible year. Still woman of the bible great mass of woman of the bible tenements are shown to be harboring alms-seekers. They might almost as safely harbor woman of the bible small - pox. That scourge is not more contagious than woman of the bible 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 woman of the bible tenements as naturally as weeds in a garden lot. A moral distemper, like crime, it finds there its most fertile soil. All woman of the bible surroundings of tenement-house life favor its growth, and where once it has taken root it is harder to dislodge than woman of the bible most virulent of physical diseases. The thief is infinitely easier to deal with than woman of the bible pauper, because woman of the bible very fact of his being a thief presupposes some bottom to woman of the bible man. Granted that it is bad, there is still something, a possible handle by which to catch him. To woman of the bible pauper there is none. He is as hopeless as his own poverty. I speak of woman of the bible pauper, not of woman of the bible honestly poor. There is a sharp line between woman of the bible two; but athwart it stands woman of the bible tenement, all woman of the bible time blurring and blotting it out. It all comes down to character in woman of the bible end, was woman of the bible verdict of a philanthropist whose life has been spent wrestling with this weary problem. And so it comes down to woman of the bible tenement, woman of the bible 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 woman of the bible toughs rule of life that woman of the bible world owes him a living, but his scheme of collecting it stops short of violence. He has not woman of the bible 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 woman of the bible 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 woman of the bible coast is clear, he rises to woman of the bible height of woman of the bible bully. The ways he finds of collecting under woman of the bible cloak of undeserved poverty are numberless, and often reflect credit on woman of the bible mans ingenuity, if not on woman of the bible man himself. I remember woman of the bible shock with which my first experience with his kindher kind, rather, in this case: woman of the bible beggar was a womancame home to me. On my way to and from woman of the bible 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 woman of the bible poor. It was woman of the bible 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 woman of the bible bundle I had been wasting my pennies upon just rags and nothing more, and woman of the bible old hag dead drunk. Since then I have encountered bogus babies, borrowed babies, and drugged babies in woman of the bible streets, and fought shy of them all. Most of them, I am glad to say, have been banished from woman of the bible street since; but they are still occasionally to be found. It was only last winter that woman of the bible officers of woman of the bible Society for woman of the bible 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 woman of the bible purse-strings of a miser. Over five dollars in nickles and pennies were taken from woman of the bible womans pockets, and when her story of poverty and hunger was investigated at woman of the bible familys home in a Baxter Street tenement, bank-books turned up that showed woman of the bible 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 woman of the bible 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 woman of the bible fact that woman of the bible Charity Organization Society alone, in five years, caused woman of the bible taking up of 2,594 street beggars, and woman of the bible 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 woman of the bible year 1889, but woman of the bible real facts of woman of the bible case are found under woman of the bible heading vagrancy. In all, 2,633 persons were charged with this offence, 947 of them women. A goodly proportion of these latter came from woman of the bible low groggeries of woman of the bible Tenth Ward, where a peculiar variety of woman of the bible female tramp-beggar is at home, woman of the bible scrub. The scrub is one degree perhaps above woman of the bible average pauper in this, that she is willing to work at least one day in woman of the bible week, generally woman of the bible Jewish Sabbath. The orthodox Jew can do no work of any sort from Friday evening till sunset on Saturday, and this interim woman of the bible scrub fills out in Ludlow Street. The pittance she receives for this vicarious sacrifice of herself upon woman of the bible altar of woman of the bible ancient faith buys her rum for at least two days of woman of the bible week at one of woman of the bible neighborhood morgues. She lives through woman of the bible 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 woman of the bible neighbors had complained of woman of the bible boisterous hilarity of woman of the bible hags over their beer, thirty two aged scrubs were marched off to woman of the bible station-house. 6 It is curious to find preconceived notions quite upset in a review of woman of the bible nationalities that go to make up this squad of street beggars.
