New York is beggars paradise. Be
tween 5000 and $500 professional mendi-
cants make that city their home and fat
ten at the expense of the charitable. The
money on which they live In idleness
would relieve more than million cases
of distress. The beggar's best season is
just beginning. So is the season of great
est distress for the deserving poor.
Every other city In the United States
suffers from the professional beggar, bur
not to the sama extent as New York. Adj
olson @. Jerome the outdoor officer of
the Charity Organization society. says
that mcndicants from all parts of the
country flock 10 New York because the
indiscriminaie giving there Is so common.
especially among visitors to the city.
When man meets with an accident in
the mining regions Of Pennsylvania
which incapacitates him for work, he
hurries TO New York and joins the beg
gars' colony. When man in Ohio gets
tired of working for a living. he goes
east and begins 10 parade Broadway with
his hand Cutstretched. Cities and states
ship their beggar population to New York.
In fact. il is the dumping ground for the
whole country.
About 10 per cent. of these beggars are
women or the most abandoned kind. The
others are men, with here and there a
clever woman who lives by defrauding
the charitable.
