Philadelphia, hoping to ply her trade
without mclestation. The West Phila
delphia business men appointed one of
their number to investigate her case, as
she had won much sympathy as a widow
with a baby TO support. She was fol-
lowed to a room in Ninth street. near
Vine Mary was seen to give the aims
she had collected to a man, who was six
feet tall and who at one time was a
horseshoer. He is her husband and has
not worked for years.
Mary gave up her baby and she and her
husband disappeared.
BLIND MENDICANTs.
Blind beggars are still giving the police
trouble. They refuse to go into institu
tions, for they say that they like family
life and their homes will be broken up
If they are driven from the streets.
More than 80 blind meadicants have
been forced to stop begging. David
Kline who formerly played n small organ
at the corner of Fifth and South streets,
is trying to get out of the House of Cor
rection upon writ of habeas corpus.
Judge Carr has the writ under consider
alton, but has handed down no decision.
In the House of Correction is the blind
and armless man who for years stood on
Market street in front of the postoffice.
He had a little house on Spring street
near Eleventh. This was presided over
by a colored woman who posed as his
wife. The rows between the cripple and
his black helpmate kept Spring street in
good humOr for years
The colored woman once In while
would catch her helpmate so stupetied
that he could not help himself She would
search his pockets for money and quickly
transfer it to a Tenderlon saloon.
She would drink as much as possible
and then leave as many dollars as she had
left with the bartender as drawing ac-
count.
When her husband would awake and
find that he had been robbed ne would
hunt up his black partner. If her brain
was not too befuddlcd she would leave
home for scvera! days until many things
were forgotten. If she did not leave her
husband would fight with her savatte
style. lie had no arms, but in prize ring
parlance he had a punch in either foot.
The days of the parties in Spring
street are gone. The armless and blind
man Is in the House OF Correction for
three months. His wife has disappeared.
In the picturesque language of the Ten
deroin, the woman "peddled'' out the
house when she learned that her hus-
band would be safely away for many
long days. She spent the money she
received for the furniture on whisky, and
when the money was gone, she also dis
appeared.
There are but few of the beggars on
the street today. The action of the po-
lice and charitable organization has made
the lie a miserable one. A "panhand-
Ter" is seen occasionally at night on
Arch street He does not linger long.
When he has obtained the price for a
big beef stew and a what he styles a
Mop" OH Eighth or Ninth street, he
leaves the district. 1t is still too early
in the fail for the House of Correction
10 hold out any inducements to the pan
handler.
