Sunshine Society Growth and Beggar Trust Profile
A long feature describes the Sunshine Society's rapid spread from a New York origin to branches across the United States and abroad, its charitable deeds and the motto Good Cheer, plus a shift to a world of remembrance and payments through acts of kindness. It also reports a parallel tale of a beggar trust in New York, detailing organized mendicancy schemes, fake deformities, and a close corporate-style control over beggars with a one-legged youth’s leadership.
