THE arrest of Mrs. Mary A.
Davidson of San Francisco on
charge of levying blackmail on Rev.
G. 0. Brown, D. d., pastor of the
First Congregational Church of that
city, is the natural outgrowth of the
desire in many to make money at
the expense of others, even if it
should lead to the injury or down
fall of the latter. Ministers natural
ly avoid notoriety in such unfavor-
able connections, yet they would
be doing public duty if they had
such .schemers not only arrested,
but prosecuted. At the East black
mailing ministers has grown to be
somewhat of a profession. 1t is a
matter of official record in New
York City that there are a number
of persons engaged in this disrepu-
table business. Not only in that
city, but in every leading city in the
East the ministers of the Gospel
find it necessary to study fixed
methods of avoiding this species of
prosecution or annoyance. The
profession and life of a clergyman
is such as to render him particular
ly susceptible to all appeals. He is
rather more, than less, credulous of
stories that are designed to arouse
his sympathies. Moreover, his
social position is such that he is
willing to pay price to avoid the
publication of even an unjust sus-
picion. Strangely enough, nine
tenths of these blackmailers are
women. Occasionally elaborate
schemes are worked out to entrap a

Lively as a Cricket.

Although in the first instance as sluggish as a
tortoise. the kidneys become as lively as
cricket when a healthful impulse is given to
them with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters a pro-
meter of activity in these organs which coun-
teracts a tendency to their lethargy and disease.
Inaction of the kidneys. it should be remem-
bered, is the first stage of those dangerous renal
maladies against which, the resources of medi-
cal science are too often exhausted in vain.
Peril is forestaled by the Bitters, which averts
Bright's disease diabetes. dropsy, gravel and
the troubles arising from weak bladder.
Equally efficacious is it in checking and eradi-
eating malarial, bilious and nervous ailments,
dyspepsia, constipation and rheumatism. APP

cense fastened by its benifcent action. Either
when health is slightly or seriously impaired,
the value of this restorative and preventive
medicine is speedily made manifest.
