Hannah Elias. the negress who while
mistress of senile John R. Platt got
1856, 900 from him and who was the
cenrtal figure in sensational legal pro-
ceedings when Platt tried to recover
his money, has given one of the choice
residence districts of Harlem, New
York, a rude shock. She has purchas-
ed two fine apartment houses, turned
out 80 white families and invited me-
groes to become tenants. The color
line is drawn very firmly in New York
residence districts and Mrs. Elias in
vasion undoubtedly means the entire
block will ultimately be given over to
negroes, as the values of property will
deteriorate and the whites will all
move out.

JERSEY WITHOUT BOOZE.
Not One Licensed Saloon Open on
Sunday.

Not One Licensed Saloon Open on
Sunday.
For the first time in its history the
entire state of New Jersey was dry"
Sunday. There was not glass of in
toxicants sold in a regularly licensed
saloon in the state. The cause was
the enforcement of the new Sunday
closing law enacted at the last session
of the legislature. Under the law the
entire interior of all saloons must be
exposed to public view, and any sa-
loonkeeper violating the law forfeits
his license. Not only that but 1t is
impossible for him to obtain a license
for the same place for a period of one
year, and this latter penalty is the one
that assured saloonkeepers living up
TO the law. With large sums of mon
ey invested In bar fixtures, etc, they
were not willing to take a chance, so
they just let matters rest, and those
who like drink once in while and
who failed to lay in a supply on Satur-
day either went thirsty or went to

CAPTAIN DREYFUs CASE.
1t is Hoped France viii Clear His
Record.


So clearly to the public mind was
the innocence of Captain Dreyfus es-
tablished at the Rennes courtmartial
in 1899 that there is no approach in
the present hearing to the wide
spread interest manifested at that
time. 1t is now nearly IL years since
the Dreyfus case opened. Captain
Dreyfus was accused of having sold
military secrets to Germany. His first
trial was a secret one. He was con-
victed, subjected to military degrade
ton and was transported to the lonely
Isle du Diable.
The testimony produced against him
by several officers was shown to have
been false, and one after another they
resigned, committed suicide or were
removed from the active list of the
army.
Still the war office maintained its
belief in the guilt of Dreyfus. Finally,
however, an order for a retrial was
obtained. Again a sentence of guilty
was rendered, but on evidence Of the
himsiest character. Dreyfus was sen
fenced to Imprisonment for 10 years
from which the term of his previous
confinement was to be deducted. The
members of the courtmartial, though
declaring him guilty, united in a rec
ommendation for mercy, and he was
pardoned by President Loubet.
While this gave Dreyfus his liberty
it did not officially establish his limo
cence nor restore to him his militar.
rights. He has been living quietly a
his home for the past six years, wait
ing for the opportunity, which he be
lieves has now come, to obtain full
Justice.

Rather Alexis took for his subject the
tenderness Of the heart Of Jesus, and

iesson that did not fail to impress all
those who heard it. Father Alexis is one
of the best orators in the church. and will
deliver all the sermons during the pres
