the day. They open up after dark,
like the night-blooming cereus.
All of the women who play this
disorderly and indecent resort have
sad records for immortality, In
! ebriety and indecency. Some Of the
nen are professional underworld
birds, panderers, blindpiggers, rum
runners and moonshiners, while
Others are picked up and brought
there to spend money and to In
dulge in indecent and immoral rec
reation.
Madam Minnie Murphy, like Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson, boasts that the
blood of an Indian princess courses
through her veins. For a time she
lived with a man to whom she
claimed to be married and who
! was alleged to be a British my
officer. Taking her story for it,
his people did not fancy des-
cendent of an Indian princess. there
fore the two broke up during the
war. A pretty little girl is the
fruit of the relations between
Madam Murphy and that alleged
British army officer. The unfor-
tunate little child is summering at
noisy No. 2510 Minnesota avenue,
but just what and how much those
innocent little eyes are permitted
to see, affiant knoweth not. ~
At one time in her checkered
career, Madam Murphy was a sales
lady at the noble Glass Block store.
On a certain occasion she made 4
record by pulling a fistful of hair
out Of Florence McCiure's noble
Ihead.
| The Great Family journal admits
that it lacks proper line on
Cousin Ida. She. is reputed to have
been nurse at one time. Just now,
however, she is nursing along low
moral endeavor by helping Cousin
Minnie receive sporty men and by
catering to them with Illicit booze
land carnal entertainment.
Many Of the visitors at No. 2510
Minnesota avenue are hardened and
seasoned underworld birds. They,
In turn, try to pick up live ones,
particularly boys and young men who
think 1t makes them real men to
blow In money on booze and wild
women. and take them down to
lfTnnie's place. Several notorious
wild women also play the place for
social and business reasons.
Madam Gertrude Lambert, alias
Mrs. Jim Sheltry, makes visits to
this rendezvous for low moral
endeavor. She has been arrested
several times by the police fer
trifling with booze, If mot worse
things.
| Madam Esther Young, sister
OF Madam Lambert -Sheltry, Is an
other member of the sporty circfe.
Madam Young attempted suicide, Or
faxed suicide, some months ago, be-
cause Of unreQuited love for Col
onel Wick.
Annie Hockins has been in the
tolls Of the law more times than
she likes to tell. Sergt. Ricketts,
gathered her in not so many weeks
ago for trifling with booze and men
at 115 e. Superior st.
Last Tuesday evening, Madam
Nelson, formerly a bold woman on
Park Point, but now denning up
over in Superior, because of some
adventures with furs that her
daughter had, was seen to visit
Madam Murphy's place, thereby adj

character record. "Bub" Pugh had
q habit of visiting Madam Nelson
when she lived on Park Point,
ostensibly to save the soul of her
harlot daughter, Madeline Mclean.
Col. Altman, city employe, had
a bad habit of visiting Madam
Nelson when she was q fixture In
her place not far from the street
car barn. Madam Nelson and Made

ever.

with the police in bygone days.

& Winchester in the wet old days.
Just now, he is sneaking the snorts
across the bar in Pete Schaeffer,s
blindpig, the notorious "Bluefront, !"
at 215 West Michigan st.
