BASEBALL MAGNATE
LEI) DOUBLE LIFE
New York,—Two widows and two
families today are mourning the loss
of a husband and father in Arthur
I. Irwin, veteran pUfcer. manager
and baseball scout.
Irvin, told by physicians after an
operation that he had only a few
days* to live, is thought to have com
mitted suicide last week by jumping
off a steamer on his way to Boston.
Investigation into his disappear
anve led to the discovery that he
had two families, one In New York
and the other in Boston.
His New York family consisted of
a wife and a twenty-four-year old
married son, F. Harold Irwin. The
Boston family numbered a wife, a
9 thirty^seven-year old son, Arthur
Herbert Irwin; two • daughters and
nine grandchildren.
The Boston widow', who was the
first wife, said they were married in
1883. She said that she had never
suspected him, even though her re
latives years ago had insisted that
he had another woman in his life.
Harold Irwin, the New York son,
says that his father and mother were
married twenty-seven years ago. in
Philadelphia, where they met when
his father was coaching the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania baseball team.
The New York widow was slow to
believe the revelations She said that
In the twenty-seven years he had
never been away from home more
than a few days at a time, when he
would make trips to look at young
ball players on college teams and
in the minor leagues.
Both widows asserted that the
husband wanted to die in their arms.
The Boston widow pointed to the
fact that Irwin went first to his New
York family, divided his personnal
possessions among them, and started*
for Boston to be with her. when he
was overcome with pain on the
steamer and jumped overboard .
The New York widow says that
Irwin left her to bid good-bye to
friends in Boston, and was going
to return to her.
The theory that Irwin was in pos
session of $1,500 at the time of his
disappearance, and that he might
have been robbed and murdered,
was discounted l»y the statement of
his New York^son that, he had left
all his money with them with th«
exception of $35.
Though reputed to have consider
able money. Irwin, it is said, con
tributed little in the last thirty years
to the support of his Boston wife
and children. His parting gift was
a checque for $500 received form the
sale of his rights in a football score
board devise which his brother John
says was worth $1,500 in annual
royalties. The sale is being inves
tigated by the family, which has un
dertaken to secure as much as pos
sible from the estate for the Boston
wife, who is almost destitute.
Members of his family here believe
that the baseball man meditated sui
cide for some time before be actually
took the step. In a note accom
panying the checque sent to Mrs.
Irwin he wrote: “God bless you all.”
Never before, said the wife, had Ir
win sent her so much money, o rsuch
a message.
The New York wife told members
of th Irwin family that the only
relatives she knew the baseball man
ager to have were his two brothers,
pilchard, who is connected with a
New York brokerage firm, and John
proprietor of a hotel at Nantasket
Montreal,—Irwin was for a brief
period manager of the Royals, of
Montreal, and directed the destinies
of the Toronto Maple Leaf Club, or
which he was managing owner In
1895 and 1896. He was also man
ager at different periods of the Cin
cinnati Reds and the Washington
Major League team.
PIONEER WOMEN OP
DAWSON ORGANIZE
.Dawson Lodge of the “Ladies of the
Golden North.” was organized at
Pioneer hall. Dawson, recently with
twenty-five charter members. Tha
lodge then adjourned until Thursday
evening August 18, when the formal
initiation of members and the instal
lation of officers will take place. The
new organization is known as Daw
son Lodge No. 2. The meeting for
the organization was called by Mrs.
Anna G. Snow, who opened the meet
ing by explaining the object of the
movement. The roll Is still open for
charter members.
At the session of the Grand lodge
of the Y. O. O. P. in DavPson the
“Ladies of the Golden North” were
officially adopted as an auxiliary to
that order, and a charter for a grand
lodge was granted to Seattle No. 1,
with Mrs. Anna E. Snow as grand
president and organizer for the order
and she immediately undertook the
organization of the lodge.
Officers elected by the Ladies of the
Golden North -are:
Lady of the Golden North—Mad
aam Emily Tremblay.
Lady of the Northern Light—
Mrs. Adelaide P. C’urrv.
Lady Keeper of Records—Miss
Victoria Faulkner.
Lady Keeper of the Nuggets—Miss
Godlieve Bossuyt.
Lady of the Midnight Sun—Mrs
Lina E. M. McNeill.
Lady Pathfinder—Mrs. Isabel
Assistant Lady Pathfinder—Mrs.
Mable B. Seeley.
Lady of the Divide—Mrs. Carrie
Assistant Lady of the Divide—Mrs
Belle Wyness.
Lady Collector of Customs. — Mrs
Gertrude Farr.
Lady of the Sourdoughs' Joy —
Miss Edna Tremblay.
For several years the subject of a
permanent organization of women of
the Northland had been agitated
among the members of the Y. O.
O. P. in Seattle, but many opposed
the movement, saying a woman's or
ganization could not be a success
and that they did not wish to be
associated with failure. At last the
women themselves solved the prob
lem by acting independently, and,
after a few preliminary meetings
held by a handful of pioneer women,
a permanent order was organized on
March 6. If* 19. The new order was
named “The Ladies of the Golden
North.” and organized with eighteen
members, the charter roll, with thir
ty-two names, being closed in sixty
days. Mrs. Anna E. Snow, as the
earliest pioneer in the order, having
crossed the Chilcoot pass early in
1894, was given the honor of being
elected the first president, and at
the end of the year was re-elected.
Th order grew and prospered. By
their own efforts the ladies of Seattle
lodge have purchased all necessary
paraphernalia, having an emblem de
signed by Mrs May Stitt, an artist
and treasurer of the lodge. Mrs.
Stitt is a pioneer of the Atlin coun
try. She, with her husband, were
passengers on the first train that
ever crossed the White Pass. The
ritual of the order is entirely origi
nal and typical of the Northland.
The order is not exclusively for
pioneer women, as any woman of
good moral character who is or has
been a boua fide reisdent of the Yu
kon or Alaska is eligible to member
ship The date of arrival in the
Northland is written in the appl ca
tion form and there are kept on file
The women have made goad and even
those who opposed their organization
have withdrawn their abjections
They have found that the order is
really an auxiliary in the true '-ease
of the word, and has given invalu
able assistance to the Y. O. O. P.
in Seattle, by helping to increase
their membership, ami working har
moniously with them in their social
a ffairs. —Exchange.
