AFTER SECURING HER PASSAGE MONEY

Just as Alderman Succop was preparing
to close up his Office. last night, man en-
tered. followed shyly by a progressing little
woman carrying babe in her arms.
Though the man was recognized as we'll
known interpreter of Slavonic, one would
hardly have guessed that the beautiful. though
poorly clad woman. was native of Slavonia.
She said that her parents in Slavonia owned
considerable estate and she had seen happy
times. Josef CARRIER, who had roamed through
the world considerably, one day was hired by
her father as a farm hand, and from her first
sight of him she became infatuated. In some
manner he had obtained copy of the Slavonic
paper printed in Pittsburg, which had found its
way to that land, and suddenly became lmbued
with the idea that America and Pittsbu re- was
an Eldorado, where one could become rich and
influential like magic.
He went to Pittsburg and soon after she de-
serted her home one day and followed bin. and
by bis directions reached Pittsburg. he had
commenced to "get rich" by working in Pitts
burg mill. and short time after her arrival
they were married and moved TO Homestead,
where he obtained work.
She said that her married life was not all
roses, as she had to live on such small means.
but she was happy until a month ago, when her
husband died. and her real trials began. she
was left without home or means of susie
nance, ana among comparative strangers.
The Slavs and Hungarians, always charitable
means to keep life in her body. But 4 short
time ago fatherless little boy claimed her
tender care.
Her friends at last made a final effort. and
by contributions succeeded in raising Sl40 to
pay her passage back to her old home. Then by
chance she learned that some relatives of her
family had come to Pittsburg. and lived on
Carson street. between Eighth and Ninth
streets. She went TO see them when she came
to Pittsburg to purchase her tickets, and they
Induced her to delay her journey. saying she
could lI7e with them and that they would
keep her if she would give them the $40,
which was to be used partly for her board, and
she was to help about the housework as the
other part of her keeping.
The money, she says, was loaned to Joseph
HerodnowicZ, who lives in the same house and
has small store. To doubly assure Mrs Gar
ber of the proper use of her money. papers
were drawn up before an Alderman, and
week ago last Saturday she commenced
life in her new home. She says that about six
days after her arrival she was turned out of
the house and not allowed to return, and a man
accompanied her to the train and shipped her
to Homestead.
Since being turned from her home she has
been wandering about. not knowing where to
60, until last night, as last resort, she sought
the police and was piloted to Alderman Sue
cops office. She had had no food for So hours,
and her baby was crying for nourishment.
Alderman Succop saw that the poor woman
had good substantial meal. an6then had her
placed in the Twenty-eighth ward police station
until he can investigate her case and find out
the nature of the paper by which she says her
money was obtained.
