Blackest Slum District in Blackest London Dorset Street, Where Jack the Ripper Held Forth, and Apparently Is Doing Business Still. VOL. 18. NO. 33. ONDON. —Another Jack-the-Ripper murder in Dorset street calls attention to the short, narrow passage that in the worst, most dangerous and most hopeless thoroughfare in England, and perhaps in the civilized world. In the rivalry for pre-eminence in crime it has gained the right to change names with "Blood alley," which leads out of it. There are streets in Cairo and in the Further East that doubtless surpass the street in the downright brutality and bloodshed this "Whitechapel" lans take the lead. the word "Whitechapel" has to go in the quotation marks because Dorset street isn't really in Whitechapel at all, but in the neighboring district of Spitalfields. When Jack the Nipper attracted the attention of the police, a succession of horrors in this region the whole field of his operations was labeled "Whitechapel" in the news reports, although most of the munters took place in Spitalfields, and poor Whitechapel thus became a target in London and out, for the blackest of the slum districts in the metropolis. Whitechapel has protested again and again that Spitalfields was the guilty parish, and Spitalfields has been unable to deny it. But the name nuns stick fast. This was the district in which Dickens' Bill Sykes lived and in which Nancy was murdered. It was remarked of Spitalfields years ago that it is "comprised of the houses it is a parish of, Drury Lane a fashionable resort," and time has made the neighborhood worst instead of better. But Spitalfields' conditions reach their climax in Dorset street, which contains exactly fifty-four sound buildings, separated by darkgore walls, and surrounded in which are huddled together, regardless of sex or condition, over fifteen hundred people. **Crime's Breeding Place.** Dorset street is famed—or all famed—for their heads above the sound cottages common to the street, a dozen of the choicest breeding places of crime—the cheap, sko-no-questions lodging houses, made up of a muddled or more wretched cubicles, in one of which the latest murderers, a greater menace, to morals than in any other section of London, the demoralizing traffic known as the "turn-of-the-room system"; here scores of adult thieves, cohers and housebreakers have been found in the streets of Pragna train up more children, boys and girls alike, in the art of riffing pockets. But more revolting than the worst of these conditions is the street's long and black record of murder and assault. Dorset street was right in the center of the "opper's district, and it was in a tiny, unkempt four-floor cottage here that Mary Kelley, the last of his victims, was found dead and indiscreably manhandled by a police officer, never will cease to be associated with the crime opens on a reeking passageway, dubbed, from the countless tragedies of which it has been the scene, "Blood niley." Of the cheap apartment house which bounds the alley on the other side of the street, it has taken place in its every room. The lodging house. No. 35, where the most recent atrocity was perpetrated, has a record only a shade less ghastly, and the inhabitants of the neighborhood will tell you freely that there are few houses in the street care at least one killing has not occurred. A Clergyman's Evidence. In the light of such a history it is not surprising to find both the police and the few representative members of the debased community calloused to affrays "It isn't every night," said a police constable, "but it's night after night that murders and outrages happen here." The men die, stabbed in a drunken brawl; the women, like Annie Austen the other night, are mugged and deprived them by their themselves. "Bushings," the knocking down of a stranger; in the alley in broad daylight, that his pockets may be emptied and any attractive part of his clothing stolen, are too common even to be noticed. It is a significant comment under the new law that the police up in the course of a year that Scotland Yard refuses to make public the statistics of Dorset street, whereas it gives out those of other localities. Itate a Church of England clergyman who has known conditions there for years, "children gaze on the brutal night and the bruised face without emotion; and I have seen a child at play upon a floor still red with the murdered mother's blood. Vells and curses that would terrify most men and scarcely scaredit the children's eyes." THE APPEAL. A VIEW DOWN DORSET STREET BILLY MYERS ing raised to the entrance of any single person or couple, provided the price is paid. It is a rare night that passes without a shriek or groan ringing through the ramshackle door. The doors are opened at 5 in the morning, so that it is easy to see inside. She is the house: an old Anne Austen's slayer, hours before his crime was discovered. A VIEW DOWN DORSET The "furnished room" system is another phase of the same evil. The room usually are located in typical slum dwellings, the only furniture a disgustingly small piece of furniture can be rented at the rate of twenty to twenty-five cents a night, and on rare occasions when one is occupied for six nights consecutively, the landlord gracefully makes no charge for the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth nights the inmates by great iron staples on the inside of the doors, and were these dumb sentinels endowed with speech they might tell the story of many a sanguinary man, and the women are enriched by the women of the district and oftener than not the women departs in the night with all her victim's money and frequently the greater part of his clothing. It is when, as sometimes happens, she is caught in the act that the London citizen finds in his paper, BILLY, MY Reforum Has No Chance. If practical reformers could have had their way Dorsey street would have been the best place to build a society in London has attempted its rescue, and one and all admit that 'the only remedy lies in rebuilding the whole place. To approach the people themselves, they must be as tough as the least—the only other way, would be to persuade the men who possess the freeholds of the dens of vice to purge them, but, remarkable as it seems, it is practically impossible. The freeholders are. It is known that many of them are men of wealth and fair fame living in fashionable quarters in London, but all those who have attempted to build a identity have been roiled at every step. The rents are collected by an agent, sometimes a woman, living in the neighborhood, but he or she has no idea into whose coffees the rents are paid, their way, her remittances being made to some firm of solicitors or estate agents.

And even if that amused individual can be tracked down, ten chances to one he would prove only to be successful. The holder would be as much a mystery as ever. At various times organized philanthropy has appropriated, as much as $250,000 to demolish and rebuild Dorset street, and on each occasion the campers have been the count of the delicate recollection of the aristocratic personages part of whose income is derived from the four and sixpenny cubicles and shilling furnished rooms of the blackest sink in London. A visit to Dorsey photographer with the object of taking the photographs for this article, resulted in exciting experiences. Taking photographs in London alum districts is always a matter of difficulty or account of the feverish desire of the enlisted man. The alum alike to have their "likeness" in but Dorsey street there was deter- mined opposition to any pictures of the locally being taken at all. The amount of public attention which the Austen murder has drawn to the book, more than the mere erime itself, as a consequence event, would have done, and from the moment the newspaper man entered the narrow, darkkeane lane he was hemmed in on every side by a swarm of men, who were dirty and unkempt, who seemed to have risen out of the ground, but who had really been disgorged from the countless reeking passageways on both sides of the lane. With the exception of a few hard-faced men and women who sowed ominously, the crowd at first seemed anxiously only to have its picture taken and to be made acquainted with the innest workings of the visitor's camera, and a picture showing the woman secured with no greater difficulty than was presented by the frantic efforts of the ragged uchirus resident there to get in the photograph. **Mistress McCarthy.** It was when the visitor entered the ill-famed alley that active trouble began. From a door on the left of the passage, a woman in a frosted face woman, w rushed up and poured into the photographer such a shower of obscure invectives as it is given to few outside a London slem to hear. "I am the mildest of her spleen" you just dare to snap that thing in this alley and I tear yer — face off yer!" emphasizing her not too vague intention by shaking her head. "I am adorned with long, dirty and particularly threatening nails. This excellent lady proved to be Bridget McCarthy, known far and wide in Splatfield. She is the rent collector for nearly all the unknown landlords holding property in Doret street, and her "say" would turn any household in the street out or ooers; consequently, she queens in there, and her rule is no light one. But beidels her profession of rent collector, Mrs. McCarthy manages one of the largest "cubicle" lodging houses in Dorset. Nor is the extent of this building, from which she emerged to strike terror at the people, her chief claim to renown, for this is the place of which it is said that a murder has been committed in every room. A Choice Specimen. Most conglobations of any of the crowd was a mummy dressed in the ordinary center garb, cap, and dirty neckloth taking the place of collar and cravat. He seemed even tougher than the others. Just behind his left ear stretched a long, still bleeding wash. He growled assent to a request for a consideration, and it was noticeable that during the operation not one of the hundred or more bystanders made any attempt to intertwine. When the click of the shutter told him that he had been "taken" he raised his cup with a squeering half smile and disappeared in the depths of "Blood alley," where he had his local The police constable had stood a few paces away, watching the last performance with an odd look of interest, and when the "subject" had gone away he whispered "oure" in lack. He continued to be characterized as a character in Dorest street. That was Billy Myers, who has been tried for murder twice, and convicted of at least a dozen crimes. He was accused of killing "Black Alt" in the hoods of Kent two years ago. He was convicted of the murder of "Fish Jack" right here in Dorest street. The men were stabbed in the abdomen, and Myers was acquitted in each instance on account of a lack of evidence. He has ever been photographed of his own free will before. For some mysterious reason, known only to the wise city fathers, the region around about Dorsey street has fewer robbers than the rest of the city in size in the fashionable West End. As a result the records for the district show more Bobbles killed or wounded here. The police say that a little crooked alley leading off the street make it easier for the criminals to escape, too. Constatable Thompson, who was murdered by a Dorset street tough only a few months ago, was taken from one of his crimes, but the creature darted into an alley and was swallowed up before the officer could retrieve him, though he to him to make sure of his identity. The Crater of Popepeperthen It is worth a hard journey to see. A huge and gloomy pit it is, its steep sides emitting sulphurous smoke and fumes, and its peg-shaped walls descending, it is said, to a depth of 1,500 feet. At the bottom is a small lake of emerald green, surrounded by rocks and wet peatlands. At the top there is a ledge of rock at the crater's edge, from which we made our observations of the crater and upon which we were photographed. I did not observe anything in breathing or any noticeable increase in temperature among the members of the party were panting painfully and were hardly able to speak.

By this time the heart itself is becom- ing weak and the tissues of the body less and less that the heart can contain any earthy matter, and all the vital functions of the system are impeded. This condition of the system constitutes old age. Now, how are we to get rid of it?

Perfect lemonade is not common. To make it at its best the water and sugar should be boiled together to form a syrup. Allow a half pound of sugar to cool in a bowl and then add a few minutes for five minutes; then strain and stand aside to cool. Allow four good-sized lemons to sit in the bowl and a few tumps of sugar until the juice has thickened. Add the juice to the syrup, then exhume the juice and stir into the lemons; remove the jelly and stir into the water. When needed add ice and serve very cold in thin tumblers. To keep the juice cold, add a few crushed strawberries or raspberries, a few slices of pineapple, or a few of orange, as may be in season. A simple, wholesome drink that can be given children ad libitum is always in demand during the summer months. An exquisite drink that can be made in jelly that is home-made as the main flavoring. For the foundation boil two pounds of sugar and a quart of water to make the jelly. Then add the juice of two lemons and one large orange. Strain carefully and finally Continue stirring until the jelly is entirely dissolved, then place on ice until very cold. Continue stirring and add a beautiful supply of chipped ice and one quart bottle of Apollinaris water. The French are noted for their delicate and delicious drinks. The advantage of such a one that is non-alcoholic is that it is easy to recipe calls for five pounds of raisins, five pounds of dried apples and five gallons of water.

The sugar content in fermented the drink will keep for a few days of time, and is really delicious when it is claimed that over 50,000,000 gallons of it were drunk in France in a single year.

Put one ounce of unwhole milk on a plate and pour on it gradually one pint of boiling water, stirring all the time. Put the saucepan on the fire and stir until the milk has been completely melted. Pour a pint of granulated sugar and stir until it begins to boll. Cook for three minutes longer without stirring, then strain and add the milk. Pour into a saucepan, tract, bottle and store in a cool place. When needed, put two tablespoonfuls of crushed chocolate into the bowl of the chocolate syrup. Three tablespoonfuls of whipped cream, one gill of milk and half a gill of caramel, are added. Serve the粥 thoroughly before drinking. Few city people are familiar with the refreshment found in this simple drink, although the raspberry makes one of the best flavors known. Put two quarts of raspberry juice into a pitcher and pour over it one quart of good elder vinegar. Cover and stand in a cool place for two days, then drain of the liquor and pour it over the pitcher, pour it over a second quantity of the fruit. Again let stand for two days, then pour it over the pitcher, for the third time. At the end of the final period strain through a muslin bag and add one quart of sugar to every pint of the fruit.

Mr. Eggleston deals in this book with the history of the war, during the decade before the civil war, not to be a Virginian was deemed by them to be a Norwegian. They looked upon their countrymen and their soldiers, looked upon foreigners—they considered them "barbarians," Mr. Eggleston tells us, least for the purposes of his novel, which mingles a simple most readable love story with the history of the time and the place that are full of the Negro characters in the book, they tell us. They masters and well cared for because they were very valuable property. They have something of a prig, but he becomes human very rapidly. The soldiers have led him into the current of the war, even though the war films the closing scenes of the movie, have led him into the picture of the peaceful, cultured, conservative, old fashioned south of the past.

The play has been before the public for nine years continuously and has brought in a fortune to its manager, Jacob Litt. To celebrate the tenth season of this successful play, Mr. Litt decided to put in the hands elaborate production of the play he has ever given, and bergent it with the strongest cast he has ever had. To this end, scenic artists have been at work all summer in New York upon new scenery and have turned out a new production that is said to surpass anything heretofore shown with the play.

AN AFRO-AMERICAN HERO While attempting to stop a runaway at Third and Wabasha, shortly after 6 o'clock Wednesday, William Reven caught his right foot in the cog wheels of a steam roller and suffered injuries that resulted in the amputation of four toes. Raven was riding on the steam roller with the engineer, when a team of horses dashed across the Wabasha street here, where a large crowd stared at her. Third and fourth Raven, fearing that someone would be hurt, tried to jump from the moving OF SCIENCE with such frequency and so unexpectedly tofore unheard of— THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER roller. His right foot slipped into the cogwheels and his foot was badly mashed before the engineer could bring the roller to a standstill. Raven looked on his injury with considerable stoicism. The central patrol wagon was called, and Conductor Morgan wrapped a bandage around the foot to keep the injured man from bleeding to death. Raven is an employee of the Barber Asphalt company, and lived at 50 West Tenth street. Among the natural geniuses of Minnesota there is perhaps none more worthy of consideration than J. Tracy Young, the handsome young composer, whose portrait is herewished presented. He is a young man, was born Sep. 4, 1892, in Nashville, Tenn., and is a son of Dr. J. H. Young of Lawrence, Kan. He is a natural poet and musician and has been writing poetry since he was ten years old and his musical composing without the aid of any instrument.

RECEPTION-BANQUET AFTERMATH Several of the social society swells were "hit real hard" by the recent council reception and banquet. Most of them suffered in silence, cut short their usual supply of cigarettes, gin fizzes, etc, and tried to even up. But there was one who was not exactly willing to let her go at that, and being of a poetic turn, he communed with the muses with the following result: BALANCE ON THE RIGHT SIDE. I never was much at figures. But now that the banquet is done I'll square my accounts and balance Expenses for my girl and the fun.

The club will feel her loss greatly, she she shortly leaves for Nome City, Alaskan, to attend and the party was but in mist testified to the esteem in which she is held, not only by the club, but by all who know her. The Club, composed of Mendas JOHN H. HARRIS strike well C. E. James, W. V. Howard, F. L. McGhee, George Gooden, Lulu King, L. A. Turner, Ida Coleman, Mary Pitts, Nellie Francis, A.

The following ladies and gentlemen enjoyed the hospitality of the ladies of the club above named, who were all present with their husbands and assisted in the entertainment: Mr. and Mrs. W. Ewing, J.

The violin recital by Felix Fowler Weir at Pilgrim Baptist church last Tuesday was from an artistic point of view par-excellence, but owing to the chilly rain the number present was not near so large as it would have been. However, those present had a rare treat. The playing of Mr. Weir is wonderful both in technique and expression and he pleased his auditors immensely. His numbers were: "Sweet Spirit, Hear My Prayer" by Wallace Hone; "Paust Fantasy," and "Zig-euerweisen" by Sarasate and "Fantasia Apparionate" by Vieux Tempes. Prof. J. W. L. Wuca sang "Infelice" from "Ernani" Miss Mayme, We read the "Legend of Bregenz" and "Mt. Pisgah's Christmas Possum." Miss Aisla Adams La Force filled the number for Miss Hickman, who was kept away by illusion, satisfactorily, Mr. Bradley Walker satisfied the Tornado song from "Carmen" Mr. W. W, A Weir acted as accompanist. All performed their parts in most admirable style. Misses Hazel Mitchell, Josie Harmon, Fannie Howard and Nellie Brown acted as ushers and the whole reflected great credit upon the manager, Mrs. Lulu King. The Republican State Central Committee has appointed "Judge" Johnson as messenger at the headquarters of the committee. The appointment was made upon the recommendation of the executive committee of the Minnesota Afro-American Republican Association. The appointment is a good one, as Judge Johnson has for years been quite active and efficient in political work for the party. There seems to be a lot of good men willing to sacrifice themselves for the public good as county commissioners of Ramsey county. Now would he have a good time for some good Afro-American to his caster into the ring. With so many in the field the dark horse might win. CANDIDATES.
