RUN BY women.
Two Female Government Clerks
Running a Poker Game
AT SOS E STREET N. W.
One With Record and indictment Against
Her In the District Attorneys Office, and
Both BmOm Grass Widows Up 10 Snuff and
Out for Tho Glue-The Globe Demands In
mediate and Thorough Reformation


Two women in a cO-partnership in
a poker layout is a nice subject for a
Sunday morning sermon by The Globe
And the two women in question are
Government employees at that, and in
the receipt of fair salaries.
The establishment is at No sos r
street ~ W., CChief Sylvester will
make a note of the number), and as
high as twenty persons at one time
have played in the handsomely fur
nished parlor. The c..-ef mistress Of
the game the divorced wife or grass
widow of a Pennsylvanian, got her
self into a mess Of trouble on her ini-
tial appearance in Washington. The
Globe had an article almost ready for
press some months ago which was
'killed" through the intercession Of
Secretary John w. Hayes, Of the
Knights Of Labor, and because of the
discovery by The Globe that she was
supporting two children with her sal
airy. We do not desire to particular
ize the Government department in
which this dame is employed, nor
name herself or co-partner in the polk
er layout, but having some acquaint-
ance with the head officials Of the
aforesaid department we hereby ad-
monish her that If the poker game is
not Immediately abandoned our duty
will force us to reveal the name Of her
self and female co-partner to the prop
er official.
From information direct from the
inside Of the house sos u street, we
are enabled to state a few particulars
and withhold others pending a chance
20 reform. The parlors are rented for
$40 per night and each patron OF the
place is supplied with a key to the
outward door which is invariably
kept locked since the, police raid
which took place some time ago.
Shortly after this raid Major Sylves-
ter OF one Of his agents visited the
two danes who are subjects in hand.
The astute police official was com
pletely hoodwinked by the aforesaid
danes and nothing further was done
to disturb them. the authorities be-
ieving their statements, that they
knew nothing and he'd nothing to do
with any crooked business going on in
sos b street N, w.
Don't forget that street and num-
Der, Major, for The Globe is now Civ
ing you a straight tip
Sometime ago there was a horse
whipping episode at sos. Wronged
n
gether Wronged wife used horse
whip, flame fed husband lodged and
FLUSHED up the affair.
Again, not so very long ago an in
dividual with the patronymic of oLe
first man rushed into the room while
the lady who rents the parlor for
poker room was undressed and snatch
ed from her hands a garment she sud
denly grabbed to hide her nudity, In
this last case the brother of the lady
happened to come ON the scene and
her bold lover was incOntinently
"fred' This lady as stated. has two
children, Government position and
an indictment by the grand jury,
which is lying In a pigeon hole handy
whenever the District Attorney thinks
proper to spring IT, She also has had
a record before coming here and The
Globe is about coming to the cOnclu-
sion that she is a case of total deprav-
ity, or at least incapable Of reform.
Who is her protector in this poker
game and how Is III ossible for her
to conduct the same so VIGOROUSLY
that it has come to the knowledge Of
a public newspaper? Where are the
police? The Globe wants this game
smashed and this woman arrested and
thus exposed unless she abandons this
business. 1t is useless and exceeding
ly Improbable for her to deny to the
police or anybody else the facts here
recited, as The Globe will then be
compelled to go into a more thorough
expose OF the whole affair as well as
her crooked record. which viii result
In her losing the Government job and
doing time" on that pigeon holed
Indictment.
The Globe cannot reconcile it's con-
science to the limit Of exposing this
woman and her co-partner at pres
ent, but while not wishing to assume
the role OF prosecutor or prosecutor
OF helpless CD women we are un
alterably determined on the outward
reformation Of these two clerical en-
ployes Of the Government or an eX-
plOsiOn and exposure will take place.
They must not contaminate fellow
clerks Of their own sex, nor offer
gambling facilities for clerks of the
other gender, and II they persist in
doing so after this public warning the
consequences be on their own guilty
heads. We shall show no further
mercy.
