MISS OVERMAN IN SEATTLE.
A Well known Character Supposed to
BE Browns Accuser.

About two years ago there was in Seattle
a woman known as Maud Overman, whose
description is said to so closely resemble
that OF Matte Overman, now OF San Fran
cisco, as TO attract the attention of those
who knew the former.
She is described In the city directory is
sued about that time as manicure, but II
is evident she merely used II as a pretense
to secure a room in one of the principal
business blocks on Second avenue. At any
while here, and frequently told her friends

It. The building where she dweit was ct
that time the favorite quarter for me-
diums, clairvoyants. dressmakers and the
Ike. and the fact that the woman, who,
by the way, was here known as Maud,
chose to pick such a locality for her abode
does not speak we'll for the innocent, who.

Early in the summer Of 1898 Miss Over

Morton's second annual message was sub
mittcd 70 the legislature upon the con-
vening OF that body today. In II. after
a brief historical survey. the governor
touches upon the pending controversy be-
tween the United States and Great Brit
ain in the following paragraphs: The
doctrine formulated by President Monroe.
and which has since borne his name. has
become so Well established in American
national policy that there is no room for
doubt as 10 the opinion OF our people
concerning it. New York has now popu-
lation nearly equal 10 that Of the entire
Union when Mr.. Monroe became pTes8-
dent. and our peculiar geographical posi-
ton, the location within our borders OF
the American metropolis and the vast and
complicated commercial interests OF our
state. justify our feeling and spirit con-
cerning the present unhappy agitation.

relations between the United States and
Great Britain cannot fail 20 have a seri-
Gus effect. Because of the possible bane-
full consequences OF such disturbance, /
deem myself justified in making this ref
erence 10 the larger affairs OF the nation.

MRS. DAVIDSON IN BOSTON.
She PeddIed starch and Borrowed
81 500 From an Old Womnn.

Boston, Jan. Further Investigation
into the case OF Mrs. Davidson, Of san
Francisco. charged with wrongd0ing by
Rev. Or. c. q. Brown, OF that city. brings
10 light the fact that Mrs. Davidson did
once live in Boston and that she had an
interesting career. in which she man
aged to get considerable money from one
person before she left the city. In 1S90
and 1851 Mrs. Davidson was a member
OF Nehemiah BOynton's congregation, at
the Union church. and later became a
prominent member Of the fremont Temple
congregation. At the time she was ped
ding starch. and by her eloquence she
sold large stock with large profits.
Many friends among whom was Mrs
Sarah j. Stevens. an old lady about 50
years OF age. became deeply interest
ed in Mrs. Davidson and her alleged reli-
gious work.
Mrs Stevens had considerable money in
vested in bonds and when these were
called and paid Bfrs. Davidson learned Of
the amount OF ready cash held by her
friend. and persuaded Mrs. Stevens to
loan her $50 on a note at per cent,
TO enable Mrs Davidson 10 start in the
Clressmaking business. The note was pay
able in ten years. Soon afterward. want
ing more money, she persuaded Mrs. Stew
ems 10 loan her $2,oeo more, also on the
ten year note but this time at per cent
Mrs. Davidson went to Chicago in 1s93
and from there to San Francisco. Her
payments of interest on the notes, il is
said, have been few and far between.
In connection with the dealings with
Mrs. Stevens and appeals for remittances.
she has written very fiowery letters. Fol-
lowing is an abstract from one OF them:
'Of course l cannot be unmindful Of
my obligations to dear Mrs. Stevens. How

bring some ripe strawberries, so plentiful
in the markets here now, and new oranges
and fresh flowers. The weather is cooler

since his house bore the name "Hotel

imltators and improvers, and only a few
years later four-in-hands could be hired

which the court occupied alternately.
They were called: "Voitures pour 10

The practical Dutchmen did not re-
gard the evolution of the carriage with
much favor, for in 1868 the use of car
riages was prohibited in Amsterdam,

edict said.
The carriage in which the wife of
Charles OF Anjou accompanied her hus-
band in his entry into Naples must have
a real gem. An old historian SAYS:
"She rode in a caretta upholstered with
blue velvet, embroidered with golden
feur-de-lis, the like of which Neapoli-
