Alderman Thomas Carey, James A.
Quinn, City Sealer Of Chicago, Col.
EdW. NJ. Lahih, Billy LOefier and many
Of the other big leaders OF the party
in this city; patted Mayor Harrison
on the back last week and urged him
to stand pat, that he would be the
next member of the Democratic Ma
tIonal Committee Of Illinois. But it
seems that at the Springfield cOnven-
ton. most Of his friends and support
ers dueked out from under him, and

in the air.
Mrs. Hannah Elias Of New York
whom John R. Platt the millionaire
called his queen Of Sheba and who
cleaned him up for 100000 while he
was making love, to her, has been
freed BY the courts Of that city from
fascinating him out Of his money.
Mrs. Elias admits that she belongs to
the Afro-American race. But she says,
ashe is sorry that she does, that she
wants to hide her racial IDENTITY
That she wants to appear as nearly
as q white woman as possible. That
she hates Negroes. and would not
have them even for servants" So the
loyal members Of the AfrO-American
race need not shed any tears over
the rough treatment which Mrs. Elias
has so far received from the hands Of
the oacers Of the law.
