SOMETHING OF A BORROWER

BOSTON, Ian. 1.-Futher investigation int
the case of Mrs. Davidson of San Francisco,
charged with wrongdoing by Rev. Charles o,
Brown Of that city, brings to light the fact
that Mrs. Davidson did once live in Bostor
and that she had an interesting career in
which she managed to get considerable money
from one person before she left ths city. In
1890 and 1891 Mrs Davidson was a member
Of Rev. Nehemiah Boynton's congregation az
the Union church, and later became 2
prominent member of fremont Temple con-
gregation. At that time she was psddling
starch, and by her eloauence she sold large
stock with good profits.
Many friends, among whom Mrs Sarah J.
Stevens an old lady about so years Of age,
became deeply interested in Mrs. David
son 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 per-
suaded Mrs. Stevens to loan her $500 on q
note at per cent to enable Mrs. Davidson
to start in the dressmaking business The
note was payable in ten years. Soon after
ward, wanting more money, she persuaded
Mrs. Stevens 10 loan her $4,000 more, also on
a ten years note but this time at s per
cent Mrs. Davidson went to Chicago in 1893.
and from there to San Francisco. Her pay
ments of the interest on the notes, it is said.
have been few and far between.
In connection with dealings with Mrs
Stevens and appeals fer remittances she has
written very fiowery letters. The following

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1.--Scaudal is be-
ing added to scandal in the sensational d
velopments of the accusations made by
Rev. Charles q. Brown against Mrs Mary
Davidson. The reverend gentleman declares
that he is no NV victim to the wiles of
blackmailers. Fo' the second time within
eighteen months he has been made the vic
tim of scheming women who entered his
sanctuary to entrap and p rsecute him.
Nearly two years ago, he declares, Mrs. NJ,
4. Stockton member of his own congr ga
ton, woman who assumed a Christian
spirit and won friends in the church. planned
upon him a scheme Of backmail, which
would have, it is stated, but fer the timely
aid that came to him from an unexpected
source, have succeed d.
Some time after DR.. Brown saw Mrs.
stockton, he says, he received a message
from her. She was on bed of illness. She
wrote him and asked him to call and give
that spiritual consolation which. in his vo-
cation, he must surrender. 1t was his duty
to go, and h went. He had no more than
entered the room, he declares, than Mrs
Stockton sprang toward him and throwing
her arms around him, kissed him. He was
drmbfounded at the suddenness of the at
tack and horriied at the offense of til
"uilldn. 10 lOle he COulu Tele9Se HllllSSll Il
confederate Of Mrs. Stockton was in the
room, smiling spectator of the scene. DR.
Brown says he realized that he was trapped
He left the room as rapidly as possible
Distressed and eXcit d, he declares he did
not know what to do. He could not evale
an understanding of the womans motive
but he says he did not feel able TO tell his
congregation. He could do no more than
await developm nts and strive to defeat the
schemers' plans.
With his distressing meeting with Mrs.
stockton, his association with h!r, he says
ceased. He had absolutely nothing more 10
do with her and although she continued to at
tend the First Congregational church, he did
not care to assume the duty of exposing her.
Although he could do nothing himself, he
had friends who were active in his behalf
Mrs. Stockton had lawyer. and IL his sworn
affidavit be the truth Mrs. Stockton was
trapped, not only in her game upon DR.
Brown but in two others in which she hoped
to make large sums of money. Mrs Stockton
is still a member Of the First Congregational
church of which DIR. Brown Is pastor,

This, if True, Is Most Remarkable.

The experiments Of W. Ingles Rogers
would seem to show that real images of
objects are formed on the human retina.
Mr. Rogers looked fixedly at a shilling in
daylight for full minute, then covered
the window of the room with a yellow
screen to exclude actinic rays, and fixed
his ego steadily on the center of photo
graphic plate, keeping all his thoughts oc
cupied with the image of the shilling.
After looking at the plate for 43 minutes
he developed ii and found dim outline
of the coin.
Continuing his experiments, Mr. Rogers
produced "rsychogram' in the presence
Of three trustworthy witnesses, the object
being postage stamp, instead of II coin
The stamp WAS placed in strong light
and looked at for one minute, then remov-
ed, and Photographic plato put in its
place. Mr.. Rogers continued to look at
the plato for 20 minutes 1t was then de-
veloped, and the image obtained was re-
produced in The Amateur Photographers.
Although somewhat vague, it shows that
an image on the retina can send out rays
capable of influencing Il sensitive plato
and lends some color to the notion that n
picture of his murderer remains in a muir
dered mans eye.-London Globe.

Was 1t a Practical Joke?

Grave geographers have been greatly
startled the past two days by the state
ments Of DR.. Dali, the Arctic expert Of the
Smithsonian Institution, to the effect
that the supposed relics of the Jeanette,
which were picked up on the Greenland
coast and upon which Dr. hansen based
his theory of polar currents, were not
relics OF the Jeanette but were put there
as practical joke by some of the younger
officers of the United States steamer
Yantic. The reason that the joke was
not more generally known before is
attributed to the fear of these officers lest
they be court martiaed
Dr. Dali also is reported as saying that
Manson must have known that these
relics were fake, This, however,
seems unfair as the belief in the authen-
ITCHY of the relics has been entertained bv
the leading geographers of the world for
the past twelve years. These relics have
since been destroyed but among them was
Saiu to ue pair Ol Ollcu linen trousers
marked Louis Noros, " the name of one
of the men of the Jeanette expedition.
Noros is living at Fall River, Mass, and
he says he left behind on abandoning the
Jeanette pair of oil skin trousers
marked Louis p Noros" But Noros
was member Of the Yantics crew and
so perhaps his statement that the breaches
were abandoned by him when he left the
Jeannctte may be taken with grain Of
salt.
Nearly all the Arctic explorers continue
to stake their regulations on the impossi-
bllity of the passage of the Fran by nolar
current through the ice cap surrounding
