There are hundreds -of able-bodied men and women in New York who make, comfortable living by begging. Some' of . them own real : estate and have bank account. Another class are migratory ver on the go. They have their resort here and in every other big town from Maine to California, where they are known and welcomed In thetr periodical rounds. . They go ; armed witH revolver of large calibre, and combine robbery with i the more gentle ' art of asking alma. Many of the bank and postof nee rob. i beries in eountry town are their work. nd when they are cornered they shoot ' to .'W1L w m '-. ,- They are seldom captured untea tak- n in the act for they have, no identic - ty and no permanent abiding place. A fe hour' ride on the truck of a freight -train "of : "blind" baggage ear place them beyond the danger sone. ready, for aome new adventure. About 40 per cent., of the beggar are said to be exconvictsu " .-.; . i. , Jamii Forbes, chief of thW mendl- ' cancy department of the Chaelty Or ganisation Society ha lor the past three years been making a systematic and "determined effort to stamp 'out oeggary in 'toe. streets oi-ew lora.

"WHEEZERS"" OUT OF BUSINESS. Have you noticed that the shrivelled . up little old women who used to grind ' husky-voiced, tuneless music boxes all over New York have disappeared? In beggar parlance they were known as "wheesers." On the coldest winter , days one. of these creatures would sit huddled up In an old shawl over her music box, a shabby hood pulled well down over her eyes waiting for the coins to be dropped into her tin cup. Chief Forbes put the wheesers out of business. He found that men who seemed to be old crones were In real ity young women disguised, who had husbands 'and children In comfortable ' homes, and preferred organ-grinding ' and charity to work and wages. There - were half a dozen old German women among the wheesers who owned their t own homes in the Williamsburg section of . Brooklyn. One of these had $2,100 in the ' bank. Another had a bank account of (1,080 and $70 in small silver and pennies was found concealed about her clothes at the time of her arrest. ' Through deceit, and .mistaken pity - these wheezers had been permitted to ply their vocation in - New York for years. In ' his , museum Chief Forbes ha several of ' the voiceless old band - organ and a large cbllectlon of rusty tin tapis. . . -;. ... A ''thrdwoi4'S i the' name' applied to me Beggar wno crimps up his hand and forearm to simulate paralysis. A "flopper is, .the cripple, or pretended , cripple who plants himself on the front steps of a dwelling house to attract sympathy and pennies. Some of the Hopper are minus a limb or two. Oth ., er beggars who used to be numerous dress in the garb of a nun, a Salva tion Army lassie; a bluejacketof a sol dier. There are the "high heels" young women who wear an orthopedic shoe and walk with simulated pain a If one of their feet was deformed or crippled. A "bug" Is a make-believe sore painted on the body of a beggar. v BEGGING BY MAIL. In a class by themselves are the , writers of begging Jetters, male and female, who have all sorts of clever stories to work on the sympathies of those whom they address. Many ef their victims are clergymen and wo men of mean weli known for their charity. A a rule the letter-writer Is a shabby-genteel person with a fine command of the English language. Sometime the male will pose as "the man ; who used to light your street lamp" and tell of a. broken leg or a long illness which ha left a large fam- - lly in destitution. , The woman may tell pf a -dispossess notice or a dead baby in tihCvhouse, with no. money to en gage an undertaker. . ' f In a majority of cases the recipient of the letter is suspicious and fails to reply without first investigating, but there are enough of the credulous to make letter-writing a profitable busi ness to those who are clever with their pena . Tbe''jocker" Is a master tramp or pahhandler, and the "punk", Is his boy apprentice who travels with him. Chief Forbe says thaT many of the boys who disappear from their home are lured' away by Jockers to a life of de gradation that la worse than death or slavery. He thinks thai many of the v mysterious disappearances of boy and somechlld murders may be accounted , for In this manner. Th jocker 1 a burglar as well a a beggar, and of ten employ hi . punk . to ciimo tnrougn open- transoms and unbelt doors; from within to srtve him admittance, iThe jocker Is? usually; a orute or wnom, tne small apprentice stand In mortal . terror." . ' t - The "yeg men," or "Johnny yeggs," are the most desperate of U mendi cants. Some of them are mlgatory. while other settle In big cities, There are three well-known: dive In the vi cinity of 'Chatham square where they rendezvous. They are responsible for many, of the hold-ups In aide street after dark. In asking tor aim 4hey ' are always bold; and often Insolent and domineering. If refused they will use a gun or a black-Jade If the locality and aurroundlng render violence safe. If they ask for the time and you take out a watch, one of them 1 likely to ' grab it and run. Drunken men are their easiest prey. , TRAVEL, ABOUT IN GANGS. . ' When on the road" the yeggs gen' erally traveWn small groups.

Washington. Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi. Wisconsin and South Dakotn. The other States showed generally a fulling oft varying from a few votes in cinrMn tn more than 100.000 In Texas. Th !an?e loss In the latter puts it out of reckoning lor rour years, hi mnm, onn of the big States, though the slipping of Missouri into the Republican column. makeK Texas the chief of the States In the Democratic electoral column. One of the surprise of the recent elec tion' was the comparatively i large vote cast In the States of the South in which the suffrage has .been abridged and in which no vigorous fight was carried on. Georgia; for instance, showed a gnln com pared with four years ago, and Mississippi also showed a gate.. , r w Two Stites which showed a marked fail ing off were Kentucky and. Virginia.
