From a barefooted octoroon in the streets of Philadelphia te a raansion in Central Park West surrounded by every lyx- Bs ay in the world and waited upon like a princess is a long step. Yet ity az all come to her in less than twenty years. In 1884 the woman who, from the perfumed satin cushions that form ‘a window seat in the Central Park mansion, now looks upon the throng ‘of carriages that pass and repass in the park, was a woman without a fanmne, al about to become a mother and an applicant for charity in Phila- #iphia. She had been cast off by her family, had served a term in prison > fer theft and come from the walls of Moyamensing to find the door of > Ber father’s house shut against her and only that of a resort for colored women open to her.

Her father was a negro with Indian fidod in him. Her mother was almost white. She was, born in 1865, She Anfierited the white skin of her mother and tie eyes of her father. To her oo her friends ascribe her advancement in life. As a girl she was pre- 1a" ‘She recefved the education of the common schools, the same as “that given to her brothers and sisters, and it was not until her time came to go out to service that any trouble was experienced with her. That was in 1884. She was then nineteen years old, pretty for one of her race, with a per- - tect figure and a love of fine clothes. It was to gratify her desire to shine | Mat, caused her first trouble. - WORE A WONDERFUL DRESS. She had been placed in the service of a wealthy family and was there At the time her sister Hattie was married. The wedding was one to be remeinbered in the history of the colored colony of Philadelphia. Hannah to shine at the wedding and when It took place she appeared in a that was 2 wonderful creation, She was the belle “of the evening. “Whe dress was one she had taken from tho wardrobe of her mistress, It had been made for a special occasion. The mistress learned of it, investi- “gated and charged Hannah with larceny. She was prosecuted and her wentence was three months in Moyamensing. Previous to ber commitment she had made the acquaintance of Frank P. Satterfield, a bright young negro, porter In a drug store at Broad and th streets, Philadelphia. He had met her at her home, and when he heard that she had been released from prison he went to see her, only Pad find that admission had been denied her and that she had disappeared, Satterfield and Hannah's brother David inaugurated @ search for her. They found her in the resort of Emelyn ‘Truitt, at No. Minister street. ‘Their combined pleadings impelled her to leave the place, but she did not remain away from the life. The wages of Satterfield were small and he had lodgings in an alley off ‘Tenth street, between Vine and Callowhill streets, Philadelphia. There he ‘mstalled Hannab Elias, who immediately had trouble with the proprietress of the lodging-house, a negress. The Elias woman had this negress arrested and successfully prosecuted a case against her in the Buttonwood Street | Police Court - ADMITTED TO THE ALMSHOUSE, ; ‘As the time for her illness approached Satterfield became convinced What be woulf be unable to stand the expense, so he and the Elias woman tapplied to the charity authorities of Philadelphia, She was given a ticket gt. admission to the Blockley Almshouse, and there her first child, a girl, s"born in December, 1885. "© Sho did not keep this child. As soon as she was able to leave the alms- f house she turned her offspring over to Travis Hudson, of 1230 Wood street. if ‘The chila was christened Clara, Hudson adopted the child and reared her _agone of his own family. She is now seventeen years old and the picture Sef her mother at her age. For this child the mother never has done any- thing. ~ Hannah Elias resumed her old life in Philadelphia, but did not asao- - clate with negroes as much as she had formerly. She appeared to exercise 4 @ peculiar influence over white men. In 1887 her condition was again in-| teresting, and he determined to leave and came to New York. “LEAVES PHILADELPHIA, ® NEW YORK CAREER BEGINS! i Through che Influence of a white MAn.! ployed in that capacity at this ume. had worked with him in Philadel-| ‘The Magistrate, after examining the | .
