I went from there to Commercial street

through the thickest part of W~hitechapel
an alley called Petticoat lane. The
meat hanging in the stores and on the
sidewalks was so filthy that it sickened
ne and I could not tarry long enough to
even ask the price of it. I asked the
price Of herrings-1 cent each. Bread
was l cent a loaf, and it was hard look

Just as It was in 1888. The keeper, or
guardian, told me this ward had been
in existence for more than thirty years
and that there were thirty such places
in London at present. These institutions
are kept as public places and are really
poorhouses. If a man has no money, he
can go there and apply for admittance,
which b. sgets if the place is not already
filed. When received, they are kept In
confinement for two nights and one day,
