DR.. T. NJ Jordan, of Raleigh, was
caned in the Jefferson Hotel in Rich
mond by Mr.. r. P. Hickey, a master
mechanic for the S. A. L. Railway,
and a native of the State of Penn

An array of canes at the door at

was learned that they were made at
the Old Soldiers Home. Mr.. Hickey
selected a beautiful hickory with
curved handle, with the following in

HIS SPANISH LOVE A NEGRESS.
And She Dug Her Ancient Sweetheart
Deeply For Filthy Lucre.
CIV Associated Press

New york, May 31.-The murder
several months ago of Andrew Green,
known as the Father of Greater New
York, and one of New York's most
prominent public men, was recalled
today when suit was brought by
John r. Plat against Hannah Elias,
a mulattress, to recover certain real
estate and money in banks, held in her
name. Mr.. Green's murderer, negro
named Williams, said his victim mad
interfered to separate him (Williams)
and Hannah Elias. Williams was de-
clared insane and sent to an asylum.
He had annoyed Mr.. Green for some
time and Mr.. Green said he never saw
the woman Williams referred to. 1t
developed after the murder that Mrs
Elias had become wealthy and occu-
pied a costly residence in Central
Park West.
Mr.. Plat in his suit asks the court
to hold that Hannah Elias holds
property as trustee for him, on the
ground that the money paid for the
grounds and premises were procured
for him by fraud, duress, coercion
and blackmail, without any considera-
ton"
"In the papers filed Mr.. Plat says
that he is upward of 83 years old,
a retired merchant, in feeble health
and Il WidOWer. He says that he first
met Hannah Elias prior to January
1896, that she represented herself to
be a single woman of Spanish blood
but that he discovered afterwards
that she was the wife of one Matthew
c. Davis.
The papers go on to say that soon
after Mr.. Plat formed her acquaint-
ance, she told him that he had gained
her love. Mr.. Platt says that these
proteStations of love were a scheme
on her part to enable her to coerce
and backmail him into giving her
large sums of money.
According to the papers filed, Mrs
Elias said her husband was a negro
and that the husband threatened to
do the plaintiff :, bodily harm. The
plaintiff states that he paid Mrs. Elias
$6S5,00 at different times between
the years 1896 and 1904. II is further
alleged that Mrs. Elias told the
plaintiff that she could not obtain a
divorce unless her husband received
$4,000; and that as a result of threats
made by her he paid that sum of
money and she obtained the divorce
This amount he alleges, never
was paid to the husband and that
during the year 1897 he was coerced
into paying the husband, who in the
meantime had been divorced. the sum
of $4,000 not to- press q threatened

Visitors Enjoy the
Worlds Fair at Little Cost
First-ClasS Accommodations Furnish
ed for Thousands Within the
GrOunds-Reservatio Can
Can be Made i'm Advance
IL Desired.

The folks who raised a hue and
cry about the lack of accommodations
at the Worlds Fair and the prospects
of high prices at hotels, have had to
take back seat, for the Worlds Fair
management keenly alive to the fact
that accommodations and moderate
rates must be furnished to the people
to assure the success of the Fair,
have built right within the grounds
a magnificent hotel capable of enter
tanning tens of thousands of visitors
This hotel which is called The Inside
Inn, surpases in size, in general equip
ments and in conveniences anything
ever before attempted in the way of
worlds fair accommodations. 1t
stands in the southeast corner of the
grounds, 200 feet above the level of
the city and is readily reached from
the Union Station by the Market
street, Laclede and Conteau Avenue
car line, or from any of the EXPOSE
ton gates by means of the Intramural
Railway which passes its doors, it is
three stories high, with broad YER
andas extending round the entire
building. 1t is 400 feet wide and 500
feet long, contains 2,257 bedrooms
and has a dining-room capable OF
seating $500 people at a single meal
The inn is run on both the American
and European plans, and the rates
vary from $3.50 to $3.50 per day, Eu
ropean, and from $500 to $500,
American, including admission in both
classes. The range of prices is de-
terminedi solely by the size and loca-
ton of the rooms-all guests having
equal dining-room privileges. To
those whose visit to the Exposition
must be short, the convenience of thus
living within the grounds cannot be
over estimated. All wearisome and
annoying street car or suburban train
service is avoided and no admission
fee other than the first is required.
The saving thus effected is obvious.
The enormous capacity of the inside
Inn assures ample accommodations for
ail-no matter when or in what num-
bers they come-and the rates will
be found sufficiently elastic to meet
every size of pocket-bOok.
Reservations can be made for any
period during the life of the Fair. An
interesting booklet, giving full details
will be mailed to anyone addressing

ing, Worlds Fair Grounds st. Louis.

"About Eve years ago I was troubled

tried everything that was told to use
for fully three years, but could get no
relief. I tried at least eight different

me any good, as my hands were as bad
