ELIAS WOMAN HELD
UNDER BOND OF $4,000.
She Was HOOted and Jeered by a
New York Mob.


New York, June S.-Hannah Elias.
the negro woman who was arrested
last night, charged with extortion by
John r. Platt, was arraigned to-day
and held in $4,000 bond for next Fri
day. Bail was not furnished and she
was committed to the Toombs prison.
When the prisoner was taken from
her cell to a cab, in which she was
taken to the Toombs court she was
met by a jeering crowd which filled
the street around the police station.
The woman, accompanied by two de-
tectives, entered the carriage and the
start for the court was made. Just as
the cab started, however, a large. ex-
press wagon drove directly in its path
and the crowd closed in, many men.
climbing onto the wheels to peer into
the vehicle.
Hannah appeared much frightened,
but it developed that the crowd was
more curious than threatening. AS
sisted by several patrolmen, the de-
tectives succeeded in clearing a pas
sage and the carriage continued to the
court.
Justice Clarke in the Supreme Court
this afternoon issued a writ of habeas
corpus for the woman, returnable to-
morrow
After a consultation with her attor-
ney this afternoon Hannah issued
statement to the public in which she
said that she never blackmailed any
one in her life and denied that the
to the case.
Says They Blcd Her.
When Hannah goes on the witness
stand in her own defense, Friday. she
will tell, it is expected, a story of now
she was blackmailed for years, and
how threats of exposure of the relations
between herself and John R. Platt
drew thousands of dollars from her, a
great part of which money Platt fur
nished knowing for what it was to be
used. Following her testimony two
warrants will probably be issued for
persons who rendered professional
services to the negress, one of them a
physician, the other a lawyer.
The full extent of this bleeding"
process, it is believed. amounted to a
round 100000. 1t will probably be easy
to prove the procedure, because part
of the money was paid by checks. The
scheme was started. it is declared, with
a bin from the physician out of all pro-
portion to the services rendered. This,
being paid, paved the way for other
demands.

Columbus, Ga, June S.-The river
at this point is very low tonight, due
to the filling of the new electric power
dam at Bull Sluice shoals, near At
lanta, where the water was shut off
last Saturday afternoon.
The water fell two and one-half feet
in three hours this afternoon, and some
of the factories partially. closed down.
During the afternoon several small
boys waded across the river near the
wharf, where the steamer Bradley is
lying high and dry on the sand.
At 8 o'clock the river was at a stand
still. 1t is thought normal conditions
will again exist by Friday.

The registration books were closed
by County Clerk Clinton at O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, and those voters
who failed to register will be requir-
ed to undergo the inconvenience of be-
ing Sworn in ON election day The
total registration in the county this
fall will be about 1900, perhaps\a few
more, of which 1914 have been regis
tered In the precincts outside the city.
The registration in the city is greater
than ever before. as Is the registra-
tion In the county. Mr.. Clinton could
not make public any statement yes
terday as to the registration, for the
reason that the corrections have not
yet been made; nor have registrations
sent In from outside precincts been
entered. Many voters have changed
their residence from one precinct to
another. and these changes must be
reckoned in the final statement. The
number of voters who registered while
the books were open this fall was in
the neighborhood OF $50. A city elec-
ton is to be held in, December and
city officials have wondered just what
plan will be followed as regards regis
tration for the election. There are
only two councilmen and a city attor-
ney to elect. and II is thought the

Tonight Rev. Ray Palmer will de-
liver an address of special interest to
young people. His subject will be.
Theodore Roosevelt's Message to the
Young" The union meetings which
are being. conducted by Mr.. Palmer
are largely attended and interest is
growing. Last evening four converts
went forward and publicly testified.
Mr.. Palmer's subject was, ''The Great
Confession" In part. he said: Chris
tianity is not so much the belief OF
certain doctrines as II Is the confess
sion OF a Person--the Lord Jesus
Christ. Not to confess Him Is to deny
Him. A colored woman, in the civil
war. put broom over her shoulder
and took her place in the company.
The captain said: What are you do-
ing here?' I am showing which side
/ am on she replied So we must
take our stand with Christ. You owe
II to Christ, II you believe in Him,
to confess Him. A mother was on trial
for her life. but her children, though
they knew she was innocent. refused
to go on the witness stand In her
behalf. Christ Is on trial before the
world. Are you His friend2 Then
stand with Him"

WHERE LIFE IS NOT JOY.
Places Which It Would Be Well to Avoid When Travelling for
 Pleasure.

As places of residence, neither the Bahrien islands, in the Persian gulf, nor the city of Yakutsk, Siberia, have much to offer in the way of climate, says the Washington Post.
 Tn Bahrien you cook and in Yakutsk you freeze. Bahrien is said to be the hottest place in the world The ther- mometer often registers between no and 120 degrees, night and day, for months at a time. This rather beats Fort Yuma, Ariz., which is considered the hottest place in the United States.
 Yakutsk is called the coldest city in the world. The thermometer frequent- ly registers 73 degrees below zero.
 Though Yakutsk is the coldest city in the world, Verkhoyansk, in north eastern Siberia, claims to be the coldest inhabited place on the globe, the ther- mometer registering 90 degrees below zero in January.
 It is also claimed to be the place possessing the most variable climate, for while it is 90 degrees below in Jan- uary, 1t is 86 above in the shade in August during the day. with drop down to freezing every midsummer night.
 The wettest place in the world is Greytown, Nicaragua, where the an nuaI rainfall is 260 inches.
 The driest place in the world is prob- ably the rainless coast of northern Chile. They have shower there about once in every ten years. Nothing grows on this deso1ate strip of barren coast and the dreary towns from which the nitrates and the minerals mined in that region are shipped depend for their subsistence upon food brought to them in ships from the fertile strips north and south of the desert. ! Northern Russia and the shores of the French Kongo are said to be the cloudiest places in the world and for fog there is no region like the Grand Banks, the southern coast of New foundland and the waters of Nova Scotia.
 This region is one of fog for large part of the year and the very home of the fog is the island of Grand Manan, at the entrance of the bay of Fundy where, the sailors declare, the natives manufacture fog When a bank spe- ciaIly thick is seen approaching over the waters the mariners turn to each other and say, "The Grand Mananers are at work

AS TO ROBINSON cRUsoE.
Actual Facts of Alexander selkirk's Return to Scotland and to
 Civilized Life.

It was only after Selkirk had watched from his familiar lookout in fair weather and foul for more than four by the sight of his old ship, writes Francis Arnold Collins, in Robinson Crusoes Island, in St. Nicholas. When Capt Dampier landed upon the beach, Selkirk was already standing on the edge of the forest, waving white flag. In honor of the visit he wore his last shirt, which he had kept for years for this occasion. The captain afterward noted in his account that Selkirk spoke in a voice which, for all his pains, sounded scarcely human. His feet had been hardened like leather from long exposure For many weeks he refused to touch any liquor. nor had he any ap- petite for civilized foods. Selkirk greeted his old shipmates with a de- light that may be imagined, and before leaving his island he entertained the ships crew in his house"
 The island was visited but once by any ship during Selkirk's long exile A Spanish ship once landed on the is- land a small company who caught a fleeting glimpse of Selkirk. In those days the Spanish were the deadly en- emies of the English, and doubtless Selkirk had recognized the ships col ors from his lookout, and drawn his own conclusions. In the story of Cru- soc, 1t will be remembered, Defoe makes much of this visit of the Span ish, and has them prostrate themselves before Crusoe as the governor of the island" As matter of fact, Crusoe Cor Selxirk) played a much less digni- fled part than Defoe would have us be- lieve. The Spanish shot at and chased him some distance without success. A bulldog which they had brought ashore was pressed into service; but Sellirk, from his long. training with the goats, outran the bulldog. Growing tired of the chase, Selkirk finally climbed a tree. The Spanish built a fire and camped near his hiding place, but final ly left without discovering him.
 The solitude and many hardships of this lonely life would doubtless have driven most men crazy. Selkirk, how ever, kept his wit throughout it all, and when he finally returned to Scot land, after an absence of eight years, was able to take up his old life where he had dropped 1t, and, despite his barbarous life, was still a civilized man.
