The Industrial Journal of Bangor says
that in conversation with the foreman of
one of our large textile manufacturing
establishments recently he was surprised
by the remark, There are not enough
intelligent, educated American boys en-
tering our factories to supply the demand.
" Because of this scarcity of intelligent
workmen," continued the speaker, "men
are today being crowded into positions as
foremen of departments by force of cir
eumstanceS who are neither thoroughly
fitted for the places. nor liable to ever rise
any higher than where they now are. I"
With the growth of the textile industry of
Maine, there has sprung up n demand
that Maine boys may certainly fill, and il
they will but bend their energies to the
matter, fill creditably and with profit to
themselves and their employers Instead
of flocking into overcrowded professions
and "genteel' branches of trade, if they
will but put their hands and brain. their
every energy to the learning thoroughly
both in theory and practice the business
of manufacturing cotton or wooden goods,
the day will not be far distant when
they will be able to command q salary
that is well worth the striving for, with
a prospect. when chance offers, of be-
coming owners of mills themselves and
from practical experience in every branch
of the industry, be capable of carrying it
on to glorious success.

KNOWN IN SACRAMENTO.
Mrs. Curtis Of That City Says Mrs
Davidson Is an Ex-ConVict.
CAPTAIN Lees Talks.

The telegram from Lynn, Mass, which
appears elsewhere stating in effect that
Mrs. Davidson had served q one years
term in the Woman's Prison at Sherburn,
Mass, is substantiated by Mrs. Curtis of
following last night as copy of the letter
received by DR.. Brown Yesterday:
SACRAMENTO Cal, Dec. %, 1895.
DIR. C. o. Bro,cn--DEAR SIR: Mrs. Hoyt wished
me to write you what 1 know of Mrs. Mary
Davidson. We were neighbors in Burksport
Me- She was then Mrs. Pierce, a widow.
Twenty-six years ago 1 was married and left
that place, but letters from Burksport in
formed me Mrs Pierce had married Mr.. David
son and moved TO Maiden, Mass, where she
had opened music-store. Parties from Bos-
ton had her arrested for obtaining money
under false pretenses. She escaped and eluded
her pursuers for nearly enc year. was then
found in city of New Jersey living under an
assumed name and posing as an evangelist.
She was again arrested and after fair trial
was sent to States prison.
Possibly Mrs. E. D. Silsby can give you more
definite information. Rev. DR.. Pond can give
you Mrs. Silsby's address. MRS. NJ. J. CURTIS.
"While the department has received
nothing confirming the dispatches from
Boston, as published in the afternoon pa
pers, am confident that they are true, "
said Captain Lees. 81 have telegraphed
to the Eastern authorities for her record,
and I rather think it will be surprise to
the parties who are most loudly protesting
her innocence
II am not quite sure but what Mrs. Da-
wilson is also known to the police of Chi
cago, though l have nothing definite on
that point as yet"
Mrs. Silsby, the lady referred to in the
Curtis letter, lives in Oakland and could
not be seen last night. 1t is understood,
however, that she is familiar with Mrs.
Davidson's career in the East and could
tell an interesting story.

timatlon that he would want duplicate
key. Her answer she gives as follows;
Il said, No, it would compromise our
moral characters and ruin your reputation
in the end" +"
Mrs. Davidson explained that she
blamed the ''tempter" for these evil desires,
which she says DR.. Brown confided to her.
She declared she thought Mrs. Tunnel
equally guilty with the other two.
II never talked with Mrs. Tunnell only
on general matters" she added. 81 seldom
see this woman. / never took to her.
"Dr. Brown" the account continued,
''said that once Mrs. Tunnel saved Miss
Overman from suicide. Miss OverEan
had been subject to depression at times
since then and Mrs. Tunnel always
relieved her and brought her out all right.
This latter account furnished still more
plausible excuse for sending Mrs. Tunnel
to Tacoma"

Mrs. Tunnel, who is expected to tell so
much regarding DR.. Brown, Mrs. David
son and Miss Oyerman, is the secretary OF
the Worlds Christian Cooperative So
ciety, and rooms in the house of q. II.

residence, and her forthcoming story is

very reluctantly. 1t is safe to say that the
story will not go any distance toward sub
stantiating Mrs. Davidson's statements.
c. H. Dray of 1041 Mission street is the
treasurer of the Christian Cooperative So
ciety. G. w. Wilderman, the president of
the society, also lives there. In an inter-
view last night he gave Mrs. Tunnels
estimation of Mrs. Davidson's Christian
character.
"Mrs. Tunnel, our secretary, is bright
business woman, fine bookkeeper and
an exemplary Christian woman. be-
lieve her to be conscientious and truthful
and l know from her conversation with
me that her estimation of Mrs. Davidson
is not a high one. In other words she
came to the conclusion that that
woman was hypocrit. She talked
about other women in scandalous
manner, especially about Miss Overman.
Mrs Tunnel never mentioned to me what
Mrs. Davidson accused Miss Overman of
and I never learned. as she was not given
to details and l never questioned her. l
believe now that Mrs. David son was then
preparing her plan of demanding hush
money from DR.. Brown, and probably did
mention or hint of it to Mrs. Tunnel, be-
cause once the latter said IN my hearing
that Mrs. Davidson would surely get her.

Davidson to expostulate with her regard
ing her imprudent actions. Mrs. Tunnel
would not believe anything wrong of DR..

MRS, DAVIDSON IN COURT.
After Bit of Sparring the Prelimi-
nary Hearing Goes Over Until
Thursday.

The immense crowd that gathered in
Judge Campbell's court yesterday morn
ing showed the intense interest taken by
the public in the alleged blackmailing
S6neme against Rev. DR.. Brown. Several
ladies were present. They kept their eyes
fixed upon the venerable and dignifed-
looking defendant.
DIR. Brown was accompanied by Rev. Mr..
Flawith, pastor of the Fourth Congrega-
tional Church. They occupied seats with
in the inclosure usually reserved for the
press, and Mary A. Davidson, the defend
ant was seated in the prisoners dock.
Reuben H. Lloyd appeared as special
pro osecutor for DR.. Brown, and attorney
Walter Gallagher represented the de
fendant.
When the case was called Attorney Gal
Iagher took every one by surprise by mov-
ing for change of venue.
Upon what ground?" asked Judge
Campbell. after he had recovered from his
astonishment.

him from his own pulpit. We therefore
think you would be competent witness
against him.

severely. 81 was in DR.. Browns church
and heard him make certain reference to

he very kindly consented to do so. That

feeling IN the matter one way or the
other, and l refuse to grant change of
venue.''
Judge Campbell then asked if they were
ready to proceed.
1--WE are ready to proceed" replied Mr..
Lloyd.
Attorney Gallagher asked for a continu-
ance until after New Year, which was not
opposed by the prosecution, and the Judge
set the preliminary examination for
Thursday afternoon at O'Clock.
Attorney Gallagher then moved for re-
duction in the bail from $4,000 to $1,000. 81

said Mr.. Gallagher, THAT the defendant
will be here when required. We are as
anxious as any one that this matter shall
be promptly investigated"
II will agree to reduction in the bail to
any reasonable amount" said Mr.. Lloyd,

attendance in court"
Mrs. Davidson asked permission to speak.

give my evidence. All the gold in the
world could not keep me from telling the
truth and l shall tell truthfully all know.
l am only too anxious that this most un-
holy cause shall be tried before just and
upright judge"
The bail was reduced to $1,000 and the
defendant was removed to the City Prison
till her bonds could be furnished.

COLD.

Cold is refreshing in Summer, but often
terrible in Winter.
Cold causes more misery than fire that
gets beyond all control.
Cold can be insured against as readily as
fire and far more effectively.
Cold should be carefully attended to
when it first makes its appearance
Cold can be checked and all its evil con-
sequences avoided if 1t is taken promptly
and in time
Cold can be counteracted by pure slim.
ulant and there is only one that is reliable

Cold comfort awaits the man or woman
who fails to act upon tn IS suggestion when
ever chill makes its appearance.
Cold shoulder and even contempt should
be shown any druggis or grocer who tries
to sell you something which he says is
''just as good" He is deceiving you.

their seats, and there was complete silence
