sARnArH OBSERVANCE.

OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. 2e.-Mr. John
Charlton, Liberal, introduced a Sab
bath observance bill in the house of
commons today which provides for the
closing of all canals, the total stop
page OF every traffic and of the publ
cation of newspapers on Sunday. In
introducing the bill Mr.. Charlton said
the Sunday newspaper was the prim-
airy cause of the disregard Of Sabbath
observance in the United States. The
workers on newspapers in that coun-
try became physical wrecks in short
time. The average newspaper, life of a
reporter on one of the big dailies was
less than seven years. The death
statistics of cities, he asserted, showed
this to be a fact.
The bill Is similar to other bills in
troduced by Mr.. Charlton and defeat
ed at six former sessions of parlia-
ment.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 26.-To the
dtsappofntment of hundreds of people
who attended the Brown trial before
the Congregational council today, it
was announced that the attorney for
Mrs. Mary A Davidson would not al
low his client to appear before the
church court until her trial before the
superior court is concluded. The al
legged extortioner was to have confront
ed DR.. Brown this afternoon, but the
counsel and the curious public had to
be content with the reading of her tes-
timony as given at her preliminary
examination in the police court.
Mrs. Davidsons testimony was read
in all it's details, recounting her con-
nection with DIR. Brown, Miss Over
man and the First Congregational
church. Mrs. Davidson stated that
after November %, when Brown paid
her 5000, the pastor visited her Bible
class and commended her as a teacher.
The statement related that Dr.. Brown
said to Mrs. Davidson;
II have an unlawful love for Matte
Overman and L appeal to you to help
me-"
The statement continues:
intercourse with Matte Overman was
in a lodging house at Bryant and Sixth
streets. He has admitted he had been
guilty before, but not since that time.
1.-THE witness CMrs. DaVfdsom lee
tured Brown on his faults, and the
minister then told the story of his en-
tire career, in which he confessed that
among his faults had been child-mur-
der-
Mrs. Davidson suggested that Dr..
Brown meet Mrs. Baddin, who was
cognizant of his liason with Miss Over
man, but DR.. Brown said he did not
want to meet her or any other woman
and asked witness to arrange the diff
ficulty for him. Witness then agreed
to settle with Mrs. Baddin for the min
lister and took the money as his
agent
DR.. Brown then read the cross eXam-
nation in the police court, when Mrs.
Davidson developed extraordinary de
fects of memory. She did not remem-
Der whether she had borne a child, had
ever. been arrested or had ever assun-
ed other names than Davidson DIT.
Brown read Mrs. Davidson's denials
that she had ever been in Jail accord
ing to her recollection and said he
would present the records of the Mas
sachusetts court to show that she
served a term in Jail in that state.
at the evening session, Mrs. Thurston
of Oakland, was on the stand. Mrs.
Thurston is an intimate friend of Mrs
Tunnel. the woman who, it is thought
could unravel the mystery of Dr.
Browns relations with Miss Overman,
but who has disappeared beyond the
reach of the newspapers and OF tho

that had been confided to her by Mrs.

duoed a telegram he had received last
night, saying two of the judges of cleo

states evidence and had testified that
400 fraudulent ballots had been prepared

CHRISTIANS?

The night session nearly broke up in
a row. DR.. Brown accused the moder-
ator and the council of prejudice against
him and of taking an unfair advant-
age of him. He declared that he
would refuse to so with the council as
he was convinced he could not secure
fair treatment.
Miss Overman, who was present,
burst into tears and Browns friends
crowded to his side.
The moderator demanded to know in
what respect he had been unfair, and
wordy wrangle followed.
DR.. Brown finally apologized for his
language and order was restored.
Mrs. Thurston proved to be dam
aging witness against DIR. Brown. She
said that Miss Overman had told her
that DR.. Brown had sent her to Taco
ma and paid her expenses, as Mrs.
Brown would not have her in the
house.
Miss Overman had told Mrs. Thurs
ton that Dr.. Brown had squeezed her
hand and kissed her. It was after Mrs.
