American visitors into Darkest White
chapel" promising them revelations,
which, once seen, would never be for
gotten, I wondered whether there were
still sights that I knew not, and again
l wanted to know what might be shown
to visitors from over seas as fairly
representative of the life and surround
ings of our poorer working population.
1t was not difficult to arrange to join
a party. A warning slip of paper sent
with the notification that the explorers
would start from Charing Cross at
1870 charged gentlemen not to wear
tall hats, but otherwise the prelim-
mary instructions had nothing to note.
At the office we duly met, and to my
delight I found the party consisted OF
three charmingly typical Americans
two ladies and gentleman-who had
done the grand tour, been received in
audience by the Pope, had visited
everything in Paris from Versailles TO
the cafes chantants, had been to see
Windsor Castle and Stratford- on
Avon, and who were positively thirst
ing for sensations and historical in
formation. We went by train to Aid
gate, travelling third class, as a prep
aration, no doubt, for the squalor we
were to witness later. So far the
American co-explorers had been in
clined to think that the East End was
much less black than it had been paint
ed, and that the Bowery of New York
or the slums Of Chicago had far more
squalid wretchedness to show. Spital-
fields, however. rather led them to
change this view, and, indeed, Flower
and Dean streets, Fashion and Dorset
streets-names Of such different sug-
gestion-reveal sights Of poverty. dirt
and rags that it is hard to. view, I'M
moved.
Tiny boys and girls, their shoeless
little feet in the gutter, gnawing a dry
crust; drink-sodden old women reeling
along between others not much less in
toxicated than themselves; knots of
shabby, broken-down men around the
public house doors were scenes we not
ed, not once only, or even twice, and
sadly one thought how many there are
still unreached by all that is being so
nobly done. And yet, as it struck our
transatlantic visitors, some influence
must be at work, for in all the hours
we we're thus wandering around there
was no rude word or remark passed
upon us, which some ten or twelve
years ago would assuredly not have
been the case; and though comment
might have been harmless, it would
have been rough and outspoken.

peramoulations we were on our way
to what was certainly one of the great
sights Of the tour. This was the actual
room in which the only one of the
Whitechapel murders committed in
doors-that of the miserable Jane KEEL
Twas done. 1t is situated in one of
the most wretched of the courts abut-
ting on Dorset street, up little pas
sage way SO low that tall person
must stoop to so through it. At the
present time it is occupied by q very
poor old woman, who works at flock
pulling for cheap mattresses.
The next phrase into which our in
vestgations resolved themselves was
that Of inspecting the common lodging
houses On a night SO hot and heavy
as this was, none were inside them,
save those at their suppers, who could
possibly remain on the doorsteps or the
pavement. A somewhat superior one
was this, though only of the cheapest
c.ass, for has it not, in addition to
the general kitchen, with its huge,
glowing fire, a library" in the base
ment. in which several morning and
evening papers we're taken, and row
of shelves with some well-thumbed
volumes upon them?
Our next visit was to one whose in
terror arrangements were entirely I'LL
ed by double-bedd cubicles at eight
pence a night, for even poor married
folks are sometimes down on their
luck as we'll as those who fill the
houses devoted either to men or wo-
men, and of the latter there are two or
three hard by. There is always some
thing even more sad and pitiful in
these last resorts of homeless and
iriendless womanhood than in those OF
men, and some of the poor creatures
in the hot kitchen seemed to have
| touched the lowest depths Of despair
and poverty.
The mistress was a buXom, kindly
| body, with whom her dodgers appeared
on perfectly friendly terms. Many
| sold flowers, others worked at some OF
the poorest paid trades, or occasionally
did a little charing and Of few, as
she said, II think they hardly know
how they live themselves" And among
them, commanding the respect that
comparative wealth gives, was wo-
man, the wife of man moving and
esteemed in business circles, and regu-
larly allowed and paid 30s a week.
She had been an inmate for several
years, paying her half crown weekly
with unfailing punctuality, and what
may be her life's romance, which sent
her into the oblivion Of Spitalfeld's
doss-house," is probably untold there.
There is more than trace, however,
now upon her face of drinking habits.
But there is not much more now for
us to see. We go down the rather in
famous Pearl street, where vice and
white aprons have a significance in
common. We pass the Cowshed, known
to the initiated as the place where the
cheapest beer and spirits are to be OBJ
tanned in the whole metropolis, and
again we are reminded of another muir
der, historic in Scotland Yards annals,
| by having the spectable-looking oil
mans shop pointed out to us as the
house on which Wainwright did Har-
riet Lane to death, as we come out
into the Whitechapel road in front Of
the London Hospital, whose softly
lighted windows tell of gentleness and
skill and healing for the poorest of the
poor.
