AFTER THE FUNDS.
a Crisis Reached in the Affairs of
the Iron Hall at PhiIa-
delphia.
Bill in Equity Against Supreme
Omcers-SOmerby is Still
Out of Sight.

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 25.-The af-
fairs OF the Order of the Iron Hall in
this. city were brought to crisis today
by the filing of bill in equity against
the officers of the supreme sitting of the
Iron Hall. The court is asked to ap-
point receiver for the entire state of
Pennsylvania, and to direct that the
business of the order in this state be
wound up and the funds restored to the
persons from whom they were received.
1t is expected that hearing for a pre-
liminary injunction will lie held tomor-
row before Judge Breezy, of the common
pleas court.
There is considerable speculation
here as to the whereabouts of Supreme
Justice SomerGy, Of the Order of Iron
Hall. Although he was expected to ar
rive here yesterday, no one was able 10
find him in Philadelphia, and last night
report was current that he was in De-
troit. from which place it was said he
could easily get into Canada if such a
step became necessary.
A second bill i'll equity, asking an in
junction and receiver for the Iron Hall,
was filed late this afternoon in the
name of Isaac Hartley, member of
Local Branch No. las, of this city. The
lawyers representing numerous claim
ants against the hall in Camden, n. j.,
have combined for concerted action i'll
behalf of their clients. Besides the in
functions issued against the order, exc
cutiOnS have been taken out OH the
money in the treasury of the local
branch. The claims are for the pay
ment of matured certificates.

She has never written story that one
could lay down unfinished. Her first
ambition. like the ambition of so many
other children of genius, was to write
poetry, and win fame as poet.
After not unusual but none the less
dlSeOuraglng experience with publish
ers of various degrees of acumen her
mother woman with a clear business
head. suggested that she should write 4
story. With grave miSgivings as to her
ability to do SO she finally decided to
make the attempt. not so much with
the idea of making money, AS
her mother had suggested, but
in order to pave the way for the pub

concluded" she says, that story of
plot must involve hidden crime of a
sufficiently serious nature to call for
subtle evolution as well as complication.

so my dear old friend Ebenezer Gryce

make Gryce do aS good work as l myself
would have done under the same

Well, after Gryce came into exist
ence L decided that it might be novel to
have the man who committed the crime
be the first to announce it. Coupled
with that it occurred to me that my de-
tective should overhear one person ac-
cuse another of guilt and conclude it

murderer, while in reality it was anoth-
er. Upon these two main ideas The

Congratulations That the Conduct
of the Games Was Given
Tom Foley.

The sporting papers of the country
are recognizing the GLOBE amateur
billiard tournament, and many kind
things are said. The last issue of the
Philadelphia Sporting Life said:
The interest in billiards in the Twin
Cities has been so accelerated by the
amateur handicap tournament now i'm
progress III the hall of the veteran bill
iardist, Tom Foley, ill st. Paul, that
everybody is taking to the grand pas
time with astonishing ZeSt. FOley's Ia
bieS, despite the fact that it is now in
the heat OF summer, and despite the
fact that the Twin City Jockey club
races are an attraction that would nat
uralIy initiate against tourney, FOley'S
tables, despite these conditions, find
patrons at all hours, and the interest in
Minneapolis is scarcely less pronounced
The prize is an elegant challenge cup,
offered by the st. Paul DAILY GLOBE,
really the only paper i'm the Twin Cities
that is doing anything to encourage
honest sports and nealthful pastImes
among the young men of the two cities
There are fourteen candidates for the
trophy, and all, save few exceptions,
are SO closely punched that the result
is still Interestingly problematical.
10 partlcularlZe, one performer has won
games and lost none; two have won 5
games and lost each; one has won 5
and lost 2; one has won and lost 2:
three have won and lost each:
one has won 4 and lost 2, and one
has won 4 and lost 8. The balance of the
series, it can be seen, may make mate
rial changes. The candidate who hasn't
lost game has generally been meeting
the lesser Lii hts, or, iE other words, the
boys who have been unfortunate in
their play. Naturally, an amateur in
his first public performance is afflicted
with nervousness, and seldom reaches
his normal speed. This is true with
several of the aspirants in this tourna-
ment, but they are improving, and, as
intimated, a radical change may come
over the aspect in another week. The
conditions are that each player must
compete with each other player, so it
will be seen that it will require ninety
one games to complete the series, and
only forty-seven games have been
played. From three TO four games are
scheduled for each evening.

getting Mr.. Foley to take the conduct

THE OLD STORY.
A Neglected Wife and Mother
Asks Amt POIiy'S Advice


just now, when the temperance con-
vention is the theme of conversation,
the following letter, which was sent to
Aunt Polly yesterday, is unusually
aplOpoS:
Aunt Polly: Will you please give me
some good advice how TO provide for
myself and three children? My hus-
band-well. 1t is the old, old story, a
man addicted to drink; you understand
the rest. The oldest child is four years
old. the youngest two years. l do not
want my trouble to become public Cos
sip. l would like to find some plan for
supporting myself and children, as he
woE't provide for me. You will do me
great favor by answering this by let
ter. FRIEND OF THE GLOBE.
OF course, Aunt Polly will answer the
letter personally today. but she wants
to put it before the charitably inclined
women of st. Paul. The word charita-
bly, Is out of place. for the case is not
one of charity. The writer of the letter
does not ask for charity. She is simply
a mother with Two Daoies. deserted by
her rightful protector, aid asking only
a fair fighting chance for herself and
her little ones. The only thing asked
for is work. Now. philanthropIStS,
women. mothers, what will you do with
this pitiful appeal. not for charity, but.
proudly, for work? This is the stranger
withiiayOur gates, the sufferer at your
very doors. Will you let that honest,
proud. loving mother starve, or will
you give her work?
y unit Polly cannot give the woman's
name for publication, but she will give
ii to any ole who asks for it with a view
to providing work. 1t would seem that
plain sewing lies within the wOman's
power to do. Letters addressed to her
will be forwarded by Aunt Polly. The
cry should not be allowed to 60 un-
needed. Whoever can help. let her.
Write to Aunt Polly at the GLOBE, or
make a personal call on her at tine Of
flee, and find out the name and address
| of the writer of that letter. So pitiful
ali appeal must not be allowed to go I'M
! heard.

THE TURF ROYALTY.
Nancy Hanks to Trot and Jay Eye
See to Pace at the State
Fair.
These Two Turf Events at the
Head of the Many Fair At
fractions.

Word was received from President
j. Ii. Burweil, of the State Fair associa-
ton. wlO.iS in independence, To-, that
he has secured Jay Eye See for Mime
apoliS day at the coming state fair,
which soon opens at Hamllne.
THUS will horse lovers be vouchsafed
an opportunity to witness two of the
most noted equines of the day attempt
to lower records which a decade ago
would have been considered simply
marvellous.
On st. Paul day.which is Wednesday,
Sept. Z, Nancy Hanks. hitched to bl-
ycle sulky, will be sent out by Bud
Doble to trot mile on the fair track in
better than 2:0714, the record she made
last week at Washington Park, Chicago,
in the presence of a throng of enthu-
siastic lovers of fast horses. THIS mile
made her the queen of the turf, both on
the kite and regulation tracks, and
with favorable conditions of wind
and temperature it is not i'm
probable that she will do a
fast mile, as the track will then
be in tip-t0p condition. Her driver. Bud
Doble, is the only man who has piloted
three trotters to worlds records. They
were Dexter, 2:174; Goldsmith Maid.
2:l4, and Fancy Hanks. 2:O74. The
fact that 10 other driver has ever sue
ceeded in placing to his record more
than one champion trotter only adds to
the honor. Thursday. which is Mime
apoliS day. the gallant little gelding Jay
Eye See will pace against his record of
2:0S$4. and, when it is remembered that
he formerly was trotter. and that his
pacing record was made in the first mile
III which he was sent out for it, there
is every possibility that ii pushed to his
pacing limit he will reduce all records
ii he can stand the training. His mile
made in Chicago was in the face of
strong wind, and visitors to the fair on
Minneapolis day will no doubt be
treated to a sensational performances

of the tourney. He is devoting atten-
ton and time to the task, and has COM
plete charge of all the details. His rep
utation in the billiard world is sufficient
to corroborate this statement, and. more
over, that nothing that can possibly
contribute to the pleasure of the series
is. overlooked. Furthermore, Mr.. Foley
has hung up two elegant prizes for sec
oud and third place in the tournament.
For second he gives a costly pair of
cuff buttons, and for third he gives a
j0inted cue of the best make.
