1t Is worthy of note that the man

population by the ears. He could sell

He has a sensational hat and sensa-

to light the fact that Mrs. Davidson did
once live in Boston and that she had an
interesting career in which she managed
to get considerable money from one per-
son before she left the city. In 1880 and
1891 Mrs. Davidson was a member of Rev.

starch and by her eloquence sold large
stock with good profits She had many
friends, among whom was Mrs. Sarah j.
Stevens, an old lady about 80 years of age
who became deeply interested In Mrs. d.
wilson and her alleged religious work.
Mrs. Stevens had considerable money
invested in bonds. and when these were
called in and paid Mrs. Davidson learned
of the amount Of ready cash held by her
friend and persuaded Mrs. Stevens to loan
her $500 on a note at per cent to enable
Mrs. Davidson to start in the dressmaking
business The note was payable in 10
wears. Soon afterward, wanting more
money, she persuaded Mrs. Stevens to
loan her $1,000 more and also on a 10 year
note. but this time at per cent.
Mrs Davidson went to Chicago in 1893
and from there to San Francisco. Her pay
noents of interest on the notes, 1t is said,
\ have been few and far between.

eax. Browns Charge Of Extor-
ton Brought Up in Court.
SETS UP A CURIOUS CLAIM
Gave He Paid the Woman Money to Sc
cure Evidence to Insure
Conviction.

San Francisco. Dec. 30.-The case Of
Mrs. Mary A. Davidson. charged with
.extortion by Re-. g. y. Brown, whom
she accused of intimacy with Miss Mar
tina Overman, and from whom she OBJ
tanned $500 as hush money. was called
in the police court TO-DAY. DR.. Brown
claims that he paid the woman the
money to secure evidence upon which
to insure her conviction. The woman's
explanation is that the money was for
another woman, Mrs. Baddin. who can
not be found, but who Mrs. Davidson
claims rented room to DR.. Brown in
which to meet Miss Overman. The at
torney for Mrs. Davidson applied for
change of venue on the ground Of pref
udice, finally explaining that Police
Judge Campbell was unfriendly to DR..
Brown. This statement, coming from
the defense, caused a genuine surprise,
the court denying the motion for
change Of venue, stating that he had no
quarrel with DR.. Brown, whom he be-
lieved to be truthful and upright gen.
tleman. The defendants counsel re-
called an occasion when from the pull
pit DR.. Brown in the course Of SER
mon on municipal corporation, read
grand jury report, scoring the police
courts and Judge Campbell particular
ly. On that occasion Judge Campbell,
who was in Browns church, rose in his
seat and asked permission to correct
Brown. The latter invited the judge
to the pulpit, when Campbell explained
that the report was the work of "A ly-
Ing grand jury" absolvin- Brown, how
ever, from any imputation of untruth-
fitness.
Mrs. Davidson's attorney applied for
a reduction of the prisoners bail from
$4,000 to lower sum. The court reduced
The bail to $4,000, with the concurrence
OF Browns attorney, who stated he
would consent to a still further reduc-
ton provided the court was satisfied
the woman would be in court when
needed. Mrs. Davidson addressed the
court herself, dramatically stating that
no sum of money would induce her to

The Spokane Review denounces
Maine and Vermont, and declares
that they are the money powers
models" IT then proceeds to prove
the allegation by showing the slight
increase in population and the small
advance in property valuations.
The Review forgets that both Maine
and Vermont were thickly populated
before the state or territory of Wash
ington was heard of. Every acre of
land which can be profitable titled
has been under cultivation for fifty
years or more. During the period
from 1880 to 1890, when the West
was developing SO rapidly, these old
states lost in population and prop
erty wealth; but their loss was one
of the greatest factors in the rapid
development of the western states.
Corporations are far less numerous or
powerful in either Vermont or Maine,
in proportion to their populations,
than IN Washington, and in Vermont
almost the entire population consists
of intelligent and thrifty farmers,
the same class who now till the soil
of Illinois, Indiana and Michigan.
In the latter states they will vote just
as they did in Vermont and Maine.
