Cheap restaurants and a tale of scavenger meals in a city
A Tribune report describes cheap eateries serving a pot of mixed scraps in a crime-ridden district. Patrons pay a cent per ladle, with diners watching others pull meat from the stew. A second aid restaurant serves larger meals for the socially outcast. The piece contrasts poverty and crime with observations on table setups and a broth served from a bag. It also references Dr. Talmage and notes large personal income claims and frequent manuscript requests.
