terest of the women thrown out of homes
through the action of the police authorities
WHERE THEY HAVE GONE.

Surrounding Towns Receive the Women
Discarded by Pittsburg-Many VIII Lo-
cate Within Easy Reach of This City
The Communities Stirred Up.
Special kilograms indicate that many of
the outcasts from the disorderly houses in
Pittsburg are taking refuge in neighboring
towns. The kilograms are appended:
Johnstown-Twenty dIssolute women
from Pittsburg arrived in this city to-day,
and they announced that more will come if
they are not prosecuted A large number
of disorderly houses flourish under the pro-
lection of the police here, and the visitors
were speedily quartered all over the place,
pending their arrangements for getting
houses to live in. To-day real estate man
concluded deal for the lease of large and
handsome house in the central part of the
city, and tonight furniture is going in and
other appointments to make sumptuous
quarters for from dozen to two score of the
new arrivals.
McKeesport-Some 25 women who have
been living in Pittsburg, who were formerly
of this city, have returned here since the
edict of the police of Pittsburg closed their
riIy very conspicuous here since their re-
turn, because they have to hustle to find
places to live. On Fifth avenue party
of them psraded on this ostensible quest,
while one of them. really a fine singer, rem
dered a solo of "Driven From Home" very
effectively. The local authorities are grieved
and perplexed over the problem of what to
do with them.
Butler-A number of the women affected
by the order of the Pittsburg police ap-
peared in Butler, and are very much in
IL =,
questioned as to their business they say
they are prospective tenants looking for
vacant houses. Two or three of them have
succeeded in renting places, and propose to
locate here. This invasion has, figura-
lively, "torn up the town." and no little
indignation Is expressed among the sterner
moralists about what they are pleased to
call Pittsburg's brazen effrontery in dump
ing her filth on her neighbors in the name
of morality.
Beaver-Quite an addition to the
the sporting" women, so called, has been
made here BY recruits from Pittsburg.
They are all, or profess to be, in search of
houses or rooms to rent, and in the pursuit
of that purpose have made their appearance
in quarters of the town where they have
never been seen before.
New Castle-The women driven out of
Pittsburg have sent their quota to New
Castle. Their prominence as street figures
here has called attention to them, and there
is much comment on the question of this
sort of thing benefting the community at
large. Some of the visitors are making
shrewd and thoroughly business-like efforts
to locate here, and it is probable that a
proportion of them will succeed.
Greensburg -"Oh, yes, well keep going,
if you folks insist on it." said a noisely
dressed woman to an officer on the best resi-
dence street here to-day, "but where shall
we go next? The police have fred us out OF
Pittsburg. and we came here. If we can't
stay here, we'll try all the good places be-
tween here and Harrisburg. You see we've
got to 60 somewhere, we can't get off the
earth" The woman was one of several ar
rivals from Pittsburg to-day. Most of the
visitors went on, but some of them will To-
cate here if they are permitted. They are
on the wing on account of the recent raid
made by Pittsburg authorities.
