inent citizen and leading merchant of George
town, died at his home, Stonowall in Mont
gomery county, Maryland, ON Sunday, Fob.

Mr. Davidson was born in 1897, near Annapo-
lis in Anne Arundel county, Maryland, whore
his father had settled after the disbandmUnt
of the old Maryland line" in which ho had
served through tho revolutionary war, and
came to Georgetown in 1914, engaging nc
lively in business at very early age, and by
his untiring energy and integrity soon worked
his way into prominence. He was for
number of years a partner of the late Fran
els Dodge, ST.. and afterward formed n copart-
ncrship with his son, Francis Dodge, jr., un-
der tho firm name of Davidson & Dodge,
which firm was for q long time the leading
wholesale grocery establishment in this sec
tiOn Of the country, and afterward conducted
an extensive wholesale flour business, cngag-
ing heavily in shipping to dilloront points.
In 1850 Mr.. Davidson built the Touring mill
now owned and conducted by Mrs. Tonncy ~
Son, which he successfully carried on until
infrmitics of old age compelled him TO retire
from active business pursuits, and
no retired to his beautiful coun-
try home in Maryland, where he
passed the remnant of his well-spent days in
tho quiet enjoyment of n country life, sur
rounded by five of his loving daughters, with
the others of his large family of ten children
in close proximity. During his business ca
rcer Mr.. Davidson was connected with all en-
terprisos looking to the advancement of the
interests of this community, having served
until within Il few years as trustee of the
Farmers and Mechanics bank, and after its
change TO II national bank as one of its droc-
tors. He was until within tho past year or
two the president of the Washington and
Rockville turnpike. He served repeatedly

Forrest" appears in black letters on the end
Ihc effects have always been anelcphant in tho

ful, and il was finally determined
to dispose of them at auction. Ycstcr-
day an order was sent TO tho Forrest
homo to overhaul the costumes and prepare

A HAT FULL OF MoLAssEs.
The Trick Two scnmps Played on nh Ac.
commotinting German Grocer.

New YORK, Feb. 4.-John II. Won Dohlon
n German grocer ut Washington and West
Eleventh streets, changed SO note for Il
stranger on Friday, and in doing so displayed
a large roll of money. Soon aftorward two
young men entered the store aud said they
had made n bet as to whose hat would hold
the most molasscs
Dots holdings to me-" said Dohlcn. 81
know holdings about such pisnesses."
But the young men were not to bo put of,
They said they would pay for tho molasses
The grocer grumbled about "voolshnesses u
as he took the hat they wanted him to fill and
went to the rear of the store. As he returned
with it to the man who held out his hands for
1t he stepped between the two. The one who
took the hat said
"Well, how much does II hold 2"
Before the astonishcd grocer could answer
he was seized from behind, and at the same
moment the hatful Of molasses was clappcd or
his head and pulled down over his eyes
Blinded and bewildered he could make no re-
sistence whil5 his money was taken from
him, and when he got the hat Off and ran out
on tho sidewalk dripping with molasscs, hi,
despoilcrs were gone. He lost S27l and the

Tho John NIcCuIlongh club.

This club is destined to become leader in
dramatic matters, and now that it has placed
itself upon solid foundation some fine acting
may be expected by its members in the future.
Dr. Whitmer has requested the club to give
performance once q month ut the St. Elizabeth
opera house, which request has been kindly
acceded to by the club, BY presenting little
farces they not only get accustomed to the
stage, but it also aids them in preparing for
the performance of legitimate plays. The
club has now under active rehearsal "Evadne"
and "The Two Orphans" The former play
will contain the best talent of the club in tho
tragedy line, while tho latter comprises all
its members. Miss Edith Edmonston, who
personates the character of Evadne, is not
wholly unknown to the dramatic world. Her
rendition oftho part is said to be something re-
markable, and, judging from the last rehearsal,
Miss EdmOnston will certainly astonish her
many admirers. She is supported by Mr..
George L. Erdmann as Vicencio, Mr.. James
Lacy rs Ludovico, Mr. George A. Crumpa us CO.
lonna. and Mr.. David l. Towers as King. Tho
two rival parts Colonna and Ludovico arc
in the hands of those who evidently under
stand the Importance of the characters the
play.restng, in the greater part, upon them and
Evadne. Messrs. Erdmann and Towers as
as VicenciO and King render their respective
parts in mastery manner. Mr.. Erdmann
has proper idea of the character he assumes
and acts it to the life. Mr.. Towers is we'll
known amateur, having been connected for
some time with the Baker combination,

Pawnbroi<ers and Stolen Goods.

Lieut.. Greer, of the sixth police precinct,
discovered at Selingers pawnshop, on Seventh
street, a sealslSn cap and an ovcrcoat, pledged
there tho morning after tho robbery of Mr..
Dompsey's house. Mr.. Selngtr had advanced
s. on them. The pawnbroker offered to let
the officers take the goods TO the station for
tho inspection of Mr.. Dempsey, and the latter
identified them as his. They were turned
over to the property clerk at police head
quarters,as stolen property, to await the action
of the district authorities. These latter, upon a
request from the property clerk for authority
to return tho stolen property to its owner, at
directed such disposition to be made of the
articles. The acting chief Of police, Capt.
Vernon, says he intends to see whether the
owner of stolen property is to be compelled
to pay for his own goods becausea pawnbroker
has made advances on them to the thief who
stole them.
Commissioner West said on Saturday that
:" the commissioners have no desire nor inci-
nation to be impre sve to tho pawnbrokers,
but thew will do all in their power to protect
the owners of stolen property"
The law bearing upon this matter Is that
passed by the legislative assembly, page ass,
chapter IL, section l to 5, inclusive.
