The lowest depth Of degradation can
be no lower than the astounding condi-
tion Of a Taylor woman. who. with
three small children. was Thursday af-
ternoon forcibly taken from her miser-
able hovel. near the Taylor breaker. and
driven to the Ransom poor house. Her
name is Mrs. Thomas Harris and she Is
a widow, her husband having died three
years ago. Since his death she has fair
ly reveled in filth. The three children
are all under fourteen years Of age and
the family's only support was from the
earnings Of the oldest boy. who worked
as a slate picker In a Taylor breaker
Three years ago Mrs. Harris was a
respectable, Industrious woman, but
poverty and dependency fed upon her
mind so that at each succeeding month
she became more and more careless in
living until finally she gave up hope and
allowed herself to go down to the deep
est dregs of human existence.
DESERTED BY NEIGHBORS.
She lived in little. black house near
the Taylorville woods and the spot was
Stunned by every resident Of the neigh
borhood. No sympathetic hand was ex-
tended to her; no one seemed to care
what she did or where she went. The
world began to despise her. The earn
ings Of the boy barely paid the rent
Then he was thrown out Of employment
and seek as he would he could get Moth
ing to do.
This was the final stroke. For some
neighbors. They made inquiries and
discovered her condition to be close to
a horrible death. Poor Director Ira
Atherton, OF Pittston poor district,
Lackawanna township, was asked to in
vestigate the case. He did SO three
weeks ago and left orders with the
men Of the neighborhood to enter the
house and overhaul the premises.
GAVE HER A scRUBBING.
No one cared to undertake the Job.
however, and when Mr.. Atherton again
visited the place Thursday he found
an even worse condition. Summoning
several Of the women and men OF the
neighborhood the poor director entered
the house. The sight that met their
gaze defies description. The woman
fairly reeked with disease and dirt. She
was dragged from bed where she had
lain for an unknown time and was made
to bear a thorough scrubbing and clean
ing. Her only remark when told she
must go to the poor farm was: Must I
work."
She was told "yes." Then she OBJ.
jected, but, despite continued strug-
Cling, she. with her children, was taken
in a wagon over the hills to the poor
house. There she Is now. The house
furniture was taken out and burned In
heap. 1t would not stand cleaning.
