SEEN BY WATTS OF CONEJOS.
Bill Nyo Meets a Western Clergyman
Who Has Visited the Tombs.
From the Few York World.
“I’ve just been up spending the forenoon
at the Tombs Police Court,” said Mr. Clark
Watts, of Conejos county, Col., yesterday.
“I had heard a good deal about it, and so I
went up there to hear the trials, partly, and
partly because I had heard that a friend of
hvino named Bohm, that I used to know in
Albuquerque, N. M.—at least his name was
Bohm there in New Mexico—had been
jerked Sunday for fracturing the liquor
audience with regards to selling rum on the
Sabbath at a restaurant. It seems that you
can’t give or sell beer, ale or whisky
at your hotel or restaurant to a guest to
drink with his meals on Sunday, but it is
all right if you go anywhere else and take it
on an empty stomach. I know that’s the
case, because I couldn’t get beer, ale or any
thing else with my dinner at a first-class
restaurant, but when I got out on Broadway
on my way down to the Coney Island boat,
there was a man standing in front of a sa
loon facing the Battery and howling all day
Sunday: "Step inside, gentlemen, and get
a nice, cool glass of lager for sc.’ So the
city audience with regards to liquor on Sun
day is to discourage drinking with meals
anil make people drink on an empty
stomach, so as to shorten up the time and
help a poor man get drunk early. Then he
can have it off his mind.”
“But what’s that got to do with tho
Tombs;”
“Well, Bohm, I understand, was jerked
for trespassing on this audience with re
gard to liquor on the Lord’s day, he claim
ing that if liquor was a good thing for week
days that Sunday was no time to economize.
So he had been selling real old New Mexi
can cobra do caterpillar juice in conjunction
with cold beans, thus pandering to the
simple and natural demands of the West as
well as to the depraved and acquired tastes
of the East. It was what we call in Cone
jos county a wet restaurant, where you
take a drink, wipe off your whiskers with
the waiter’s apron, eat a radish and pay the
auditor two bits. You can do as you liko
about wiping off your chin, and you will
not be criticised if you omit the radish, but
the success of the scheme rests on the free
interchange of coin and cobra de caterpillar
juice. Savey?”
“Yes, I savey. But bite it off, if you
please. Take a tuck in it. lam going to
decay here. How about the Tombs f”
“Well, Bohm was nipped Sunday for
’fringing this audience, and I heard ho was
let out on his own reconnoisance to bo tried
at the Tombs Monday forenoon, so I went
up there. The Tombs is a big ’dobe fort
about a mile up the trussle, on tne left hand
side. I strolled in, thinking I might be
snatched up on the jurv, perhaps, and
make a dollar or two, besides helping Bohm
out, for I’ve been on jury before. I was
juryman for three years rnnnin’ in my own
county, and never lost a case.”
“Willi”
“Well, you seem to be in a thundering
hurry for a man I’ve had my eye on to for
two weeks and hain’t seen do anything yet.”
“Well, what becomes of Bohm?”
"Bohm? Well, I sat on the back seat and
inhaled the warm, delightful old air quite a
while, waiting to be snitched for the jury,
but didn’t get a vote. The room was full of
people, but they were not the wealthier
classes. A man that sat just ahead of me
had to hold one of his ears on with his
left hand and his breeches with the other.
I judge he was a witness. Another fellow
was trying to peer into a tenderloin steak
with one eye, and had a what-not over the
other one. He was called an expert, so I
was told. Avery black-1 uaired woman
from Italy or the Indian Reservation sat
across the aisle from me. She had a welt
across the intellect about the size of a Vi
enna sausage. It was made by a pop-bottle
in the hands of her husband, I was told, who
is the organists that plays ‘The Cricket on
the Hearth’ with so much feeling. She had
talked with him since about the welt, how
ever, and would now swear that it was a
birth-mark.”
.'But how about Bohm?”
“Well, wait a minute. Nobody’s going to
got your seat down at the City Hall Bark if
you stay here half an hour. I sat there and
watched people go up and talk across the
counter to the head bookkeeper in a low voice
and then go away. Then some more would
go up and apparently ask him if he needed
anybody to whitewash his fence, but I
couldn’t hear what they said. Sometimes a
policeman would crook his finger at a man
in the audience, anil the man would come
up and he and the policeman and the
cashier and another man would smell of
a small and very tired Testament, and then
converse in a low tone for awhile. Then
one of the men would step around to the
other corner of the corral, turn his pockets
wrong side out and give the contents to the
'fierce. Sometimes ho would take his hat
md go out, aud at others he would go into
he elevator. I called it the elevator, but it
nay have been where the Grand Lodge was
n session, for there was a little square hole
n the door, aud every little while some
aember of tho Grand Lodgo would give the
ign of distress through this hole and try to
■onto out, but tho Worthy Outside Guard
youhi shake his head and hold the door
hot.* For a long time they seemed to be
etting ready and consulting and preparing
or court to open or for the Judge to come,
r something or other, till all at once I
leurrl somebody say ‘Court’s adjourned.’ I
ooked at my watch and it was 12 o’clock,
iud a man with one wing of his nose gnawed
'ff told me that they had tried seventeen
:ases since I’d been there.”
“But as regards Bohm?”
“Oj 1 ! I found out afterward that Bohm is
inly his winter name when ho goes West.
Here I don’t know what his name is this
season, but any way he wasn’t at the Tombs
rolice Court or I would have recognized
him Afterward I heard that there was
another police court in town that thoy say
is building up a good trade. It is a police
court that don’t advertise much through tho
papers, but its motto is ‘Live and Let Live,’
wifi I’m told that it is doing well.”
, 'Ben gave me a cigar witli a compound
raeture j n the middle of it, and hurried up
he stairs of an elevated station, evidently
mending logo down town by means of an

HEATHEN HANDILY HUMBUGGED.
A Christian Missionary’s Peculiar Way
of Saving Chinese Sinners.
From the Few York Star.
The arrest on Thursday of J. C. Thom, a
flnnese missionary, for swindling, has set
■ B’R street by the cars and awakened hope
in the breasts of the merchants of the Chi
nl .ie quarter that before long the blackmail
mg schemes and swindles they have lieen
subjected to in time past will be entirely
ono mvay with. The charge against Thom
ii that he swindled several of the big mer
iiaiits of Mott street by demanding money
uM"r jmi n of I icing exposed to the police as
, ‘ambler. An intelligent Chinaman, who
; 1,1 Hie story to a reporter yesterday, de
, i in detail the oiierations of tfie al
mond-eyed crooks.
• biiiy of the men who do business in the
-iiiiieso quarter do not know much of any
ri'l'n 'he English language, aud a great
ii less about the laws of the country in
nn li they live. Many of them are easily
.njiosoii upon by their unscrupulous ooun
’ ii"* , i, mui willingly give up various
u<'lints of money for supposed polieo pro
' lion The ones who have been bled are
i ‘“in y groeers and general merchants. As
' "' II known, tho stores in Mott street are
'I, mi ''very day j n the week, many of the
inii'si. customers living out of the city, and
x- ' s <ly ilny that they can get to
•' " i.ork to make their purchases for the
lowing week.
ti that Thom and half a dozen
1 “ r thi nose missionaries, who are supposed
t n e, igiged in Christianizing their eouii
’h liave made it a point to go to some
' | . h’ss intelligent merchants in the street
"opives upon them the fact that it was
1i2,,‘! ,Kt ’hr luw to sell anything on Sunday
the “excise jaw.” 'Hie word law
i enough for the merchants, and they
naturally asked what could be done under
the circumstances. Then tho scheme would
be unfolded to them.
“Well, give us S2O each and we will see
that you ore not molested.”
When the money was paid nothing would
be said, and the merchants would go right
on selling his groceries and fish aud meats as
if nothing had happened. When the money
was not paid oue of the missionaries would
call on Capt. McCullagli of the Sixth pre
cinct and inform him that gambling was
iug on at the address of tho merchant who
had refused to “give up.” The Captain is
very careful how he liandlos Mott street,
knowing that as a rule the Chinamen play
cards in their houses at night with friends.
Pan-tan is a national game with the Chin
ese, as poker is with the Americans, and
nothing would be easier than to suppose
they were gambling when found playing tho
game.
Many times the Captain refused to do any
thing in the matter, and then the mission
aries go to Anthony Comstock, who
promptly raids tlio plaeos, arrests the in
mates of the houses, takes them to court;
tho missionaries who gave Comstock the tip
swear that gambling was being carried on
at the house, and the merchant and his
friends are fined. Chinamen, as a rule, do
not believe in tho Christian oath, neither do
the missionaries, and that is the way they
swear when giving their evidence.
There are eight or ten of the merchants
who have paid for the protection, and finally
it became so monotonous that it was brought
to the attention of the governors of the
colony, who informed the men that they
were being systematically swindled. Then
the merchants who hod suffered made a
complaint against Thom, and he was ar
rested Thursday afternoon in front of the
Tombs.
Thom, Huie King, and Clue Sing are
paid SSO per month by the Board of For
eign Missions of tho New York Presbytery
to preach among the Chinese. Whether
they have done it or not will be seen during
the trial of the case.
100 YEARS OLD.
Remarkable Age of Charles Hunt, a
Middleton Farmer.
From the Brooklyn Gtohe.
Two burly farmers started out from Mid
dleton the other day to see the sights in the
Hub. After landing at tho Eastern depot
the couple took a carriage for the Boston
Museum, where they made a stay of over
an hour, taking in the curiosities.
Tho ruddy-faced pair of rurals soon be
came tho centro of attraction. Manager
Seymour pointed them out to the visitors.
“Now that’s a pretty sight, isn’t it?” said
Mr. Seymour.
The couple roamed up and down the main
hall ami in arm, gazing at the silent por
traits and statues, and whispering to each
other mutual note3 of admiration.
Then the pair inquired for tho wax fig
ures, aud on being told that they were up
three flights, a consultation was held. Then
one of the jolly farmers sat down on a
stool, while the other ran up stairs with the
attendant to view the show.
“You see,” said the former, as he steadied
himself on a stool and leaned upon his stout
cane, “1 ain’t so spry as 1 used to be $0 years
ago,” and the man bubbled over with laugh
ter.
“What!” remarked a bystander, “in the
name of heaven, how old are you ?”
“Well, I’m turned 10*5 years old, and if I
live till Jan. 15 next I shall be 107. That's
so, and my boy can tell you it's true.”
“Bay, mister, how old is the boy?”
“Oil, he’s only 70, but he’s a pretty fair
boy for one so young.”
At this moment the septuagenarian “boy”
came down stab’s on a dead run, joined in
conversation with his centenarian “dad,”
and laughingly replied to tiie numerous
questions of the crowd.
“I’m a farmer,” said the septuagenarian,
“and have lived 19 years at Middleton. I’ve
been 38 years altogether in Massachusetts.
Oh, no; I wasn’t born in the States. Our
homestead was at Dunham, Canada East.
That’s where my father was born and where
all the family was reared. There wero 15
of us, boys and girls, but there’s only seven
of us living. Let me see: Charles is the
oldest boy, and he lives in Canada still; he’s
7s, but he works on his farm just as usual.
Then there’s Mitchell, John —that’s me—
Francis, William, Bosworth and Joseph,
who is the youngest, and is 50 years of ago.
He’s a police oiticer at Haverhill. Francis
is a blacksmith out at Dubuque City, la.”
“Have you any family?’ was asked.
“Well, now, I ain't ashamed to say that
I’ve had my pile of boys and girls. Reck
oning my children, grandchildren and great
grandchildren there s over 80 of us. That’s
a goodshowing, I think.”
“What’s your father’s name?”
“Charles King, and we sometimes call him
King Charles.”
This tickled the old man and he smiled at
tho joke.
Charles King is still a British subject. He
fought in the war of 1812 on tho British
side, being captured by a press gang and
forced to the front. He is in good health,
though somewhat feeble in his limbs. He
gets about easily, but is soon fatigued. His
eyesight is good and he lias never worn
spectacles in his life. His hearing is poor,
but his perceptions are keen andactive. Ho
never learned to read but has a good mem
ory for events, and likes to talk over old
times with his son, who has taken full
charge of the old man and accompanies him
everywhere, except in his short walks near
home.
“I let him go out for a little exercise,”
said the boy, “but of course we wouldn’t
let him come to Boston alone.”
The centenarian listened to his boy’s talk,
and frequently put in his own oar.
“I don’t try to do any work now. I eat
very little, and I don’t drink any coffee or
tea, only cold water or milk. I take a little
meat, but not much. Yes, I like a smoko,
and generally carry my pipe with me. I
used to drink a little wine when I was a
young man. but I nover take intoxicating
liquors now, because I don’t like thorn.”
“Now, father, we must get along,” said
the boy, and the old man jumped nimbly
from bis seat and started for the stairs lead
ing from the hall of the museum to tho
street. ... ■ , , . ,
Ann in arm with his boy ho went down,
stepped into the carriage and was driven off
on his tour through tho city.
“King Charles” hopes to visit Boston
again on his next Birthday.

ORNITHOLOGIAL JUSTICE.
English Sparrows Hang Offending
Birds at the Court House.
A dispatch from Parkersburg, W. Va., to
the Cincinnati Enquirer says: Tho good
and bad traits, the pugnacity, domesticity,
fecundity, voracity and other qualities of
tho English sparrow have all been subjected
to exhaustive treatises by renowned ornithol
ogists and learned professors, and many
odd stories have been told of their intolli
cence and reasoning power, but none of
them will surpass the following, which is
authenticated by such men as ex-Sheriff C.
B Smith, Prosecuting Attorney J. It. Mo-
Ciuer Deputy Sheriff Ben Stewart, Capt.
Bob Patterson, and dozens of other citizens
whose veracity cannot bo questioned. This
is the story as told by them: A large colony
of Kturlish sparrows have built their nests
in the crevices of the cornice, above the col
umns among the dentals, and in fact wher
pv(>r they can get on© to rtick ai>oiit tho
court house. Their familiarity with the law
and its provisions was well established bo
-11 Above the door of the Sheriff’s office, be
tween the spout and the cornice, about 25
feet from the ground, a family was building
a large nest, but in its erection had either
lumnrd the claim of anotherfamily, or some
tramp sparrow, too lazy to work, had con
cluded to squat on the premises, for about
noon yesterday the building was stopped
and a noisy crowd was trying to drive a
stubborn bird away. After a time they
succeeded, but he returned again and again,
while the builders were absent At last it
was observed that when the architects and
builders wore away alter material oue or
THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. JOEY 22, 1887.
two remained constantly on the watch. This
was kept up until about 2 o’clock, when tho
offending bird again returned. This time
the birds on guard pitched into him, ami
were assisted by several others who flew to
their assistance. They surrounded the little
fellow, and, by some means, how the inter
ested observers could not tell, they succeeded
in getting a small string or thread about his
neck. They then forced him over the edge
of the nest until ho fell a distance of three
feet, and brought up at the end of the
halter.
The bird could not release himself or find
any place to alight except on the nest above.
He tried to reach this, and did so perhaps a
dozen times op of toner, but every time he
was caught and thrown liack into space by
the vigilance committee which was sta
<ionel inasojid phalanx around the edges of
the nest. At last the little fellow became
exhausted and fell tho length of the cord
and was strangled to death. As soon as the
bird ceased to struggle tho throng about the
nest dispersed ufter a chattering expression
of opinion, and the builders proceeded with
their work, leaving tho culprit hanging as a
warning to others. The bird is hanging
there yet.
This is the second instance of ornithologi
cal justice meted out according to the stat
utes which has occurred in this city within
a week. In the other case tho culprit was
hung to the limb of a tree by another col
ony of sparrows in the lower end of the
city under almost exactly similar circum
stances.
THE DOLLAR.
Its History From the Beginning Until
Now.
From the Financier.
Our word dollar dates back to 1785, when
a resolution was passed by Congress which
provided that it should be the unit of money
of the United States. Another resolution
was passed in 1785, Aug. 5, providing that
it should weigh 375.64 grains of pure silver.
The mint was established in 1792, and was
then required to coin silver dollars contain
ing 371.25 grains of pure silver. This was
due to the influence of Alexander Hamiltou.
No dollars wore coined until 1794, and then
irregular. They are worth now SIOO each.
In 1794 the coinage of regular dol
lars began. Our coin was an adapta
tion of the Spanish milled dollar, a coin
very popular wherever the Spaniards trav
eled. The coin was called “piastre,” mean
ing a flat piece of metal; it is synonymous
with piaster. It is supposed that the Span
iards took tho German “thaler” and called
it by the name of “piaster.” The word
dollar is entered in Bailey’s English Diction
nary of 1745, and was used repeatedly by
Shakespeare at the beginning of the seven
teenth century, especially in Macbeth, ii.,2,
(52; “Till she disbursed * * * SIO,OOO to our
general use.!’ (See also tho Tempest , ii., 1,17).
The question where Shakespeare found tho
word dollar Is answered by the fact that the
Hanseatic towns maintained a great estab
lishment called the Steel Yard in London.
The Steel Yard merchants were mostly
North Germans, who would call tho German
thaler as it was spelt, “dah-ler.” The samo
merchants occasioned the word sterling, an
abbreviation of the word “esterling.” As
the Hanseatic trade was particularly brisk
on the Baltic, and in Russia the standard
coins of the Hanse merchants were called
esterlings, and sterling came to mean
something genuine and desirable.
Tho word dollar is tho Eng
lish for thaler, the first of which was coined
about 1486, and corresponds quite closely to
our present American silver dollar. The
word thaler means “coming from a dale or
valley,” the first dollars having been coined
in a Bohemian valley called Foachimsthal.
It was under Charles V., the Emperor of
Germany, King of Spain and Lord of Span
ish America that the German thaler became
the coiii of the world.
Old Colorow in Custody.
Green River (Col.) Letter.
An Indian campaign which will hardly
be described in the official reports has just
ended in the apprehension of Colorow, a
sub-chief of the Utes, who has lieen making
a nuisance of himself for tho last eight
years. The old felloW is probably tho most
eonceitod savage on the continent, and there
is nothing that he fears except a cowboy.
He is the individual who wanted a cannon
sent to him. “To kill soldiers with?” was
asked. “No,” he replied; “for cowboy.
Kill soldier with a club.” It was not until
the cowboys lent a hand that the old vil
lain was in any great danger of capture. .
Ever since tne removal of the Utes to the
Uintah reservation Colorow and about sixty
followers, all as exaggerated types of the
noble red man as he is himself, have been
roaming around in tho White and Green
river country. Colorow has modestly as
sumed to own the whole western half of the
State, and when money, food or clothing
ran short he and his party would appear
at the settlements and collect what they
were pleased to coll “rent.” The gang
rarely, if ever, committed any violence,
but they would steal, and beg, and
threaten, and by taking advantage
of timid settlers they made a fair living,
and had the satisfaction besides of
running tho country to suit themselves.
When anew ranch or settlement was located
Colorow would visit the place and insist on
having a heap big talk with the whites in
terested. At first they would apprehend
mischief, but when they discovered that the
old reprobate simply claimed to be the
owner of that section of the United States
and wanted a year’s rent in tho form of a
$5 bill, a steer, or a few old coats or hats
they yielded to his terms gladly and asked
him to call again when he felt liko it. In
this way his consuming egotism increased
day by day, until at length ho became an
intolerable boro to many settlers, and the
complaints against him were so numerous
that three companies of troops were sent out
to bring him in.
This campaign was a friendly one. Colo
row knows every inch of ground in the
State, nnd it was no trick ut all for him
to keep out of tho way of the soldiers.
The latter had several Indians for guides
who were paid by the day, and who were,
therefore, profoundly interested in having
tho job last as long as possible. Not until a
party' of cowboys was pressed into the ser
vice was there any prospect that this grand
walk around would come to an end. As
soon as Colorow heard that these fellows
were after him he become afraid that thoy
would shoot, and he gave up. Ho'will bo
placed on the agency and kept under guard.
The Tables Turned.
From the New York Firming Sun.
A tramp was sleeping sweetly on the
stringpiece of tho French Line dock at the
foot of Morton street Sunday afternoon. A
cloud of flies swarmed übove him. Thnee
nicely dressed young men observed tho
scene, and one determined to end it. He
secured a bucket with a rope attached from
a neighboring tug. He filled it with water
from tho river, and dashed its contents in
to the tramp’s face. The startled sleeper
awoke, threw up his arms, and rolled into
the river. The crowd rushed to tile string
piece, while tho young man was a picture
of despair.
When the tramp came to the surface he
called loudly for help, Tho women on the
shore looked at the well-dressed young man
and cried: “Shame 1” Down went the
unfortunate again with n mournful
appeal to those on shore. The
young man who caused all the mischief
waited no longer. He jumped into the river.
Both he and the tramp appeared ut tho
same time about six yards apart. Tho
yuung man swam for the tramp, but strange
to say the tramp struck out, too. With lit
tle effort he reached the tug from which
the bucket was secured, and easily gained its
dis k. Thoms* he climbed to the dock. The
young man followed him, and r.ho dripping
pair were the centre of a laughing throng.
The tramp, turning to the young man, snf 1
with a disdainful air:
“Kay, young feller, ye think yer smart,
don’t yer; but who got the wust o’ that
gamer’
The young man and his two companions
retreated amid the jeers of the crow and, while
the tramp selected a sunny spot aud •sat down
to dry his clothes.

C. H. DORSETT, Auctioneer,
Will sell at the Court House, during tha
usual hours ot sale, ou
Tuesday, August 2d, 1887,
that particular piece of Farming Hand on
the Ogeeehee road, about two miles from
Anderson street, near the Charleston and
Savannah crossing, containing about fifteen
acres of land. Said property adjoins tlio
lands of Oliver Heidt, Stewart and others,
and has upon it a large TWO-STORY
FRAME DWELLING.
This is admirably adapted to the require
ments of a dairy, chicken or truck farm.
SOME GOOD CORNERS.
At, private sale I am ottering some very,
?;ood corner places, suitable for business or
or residences.
One on West Broad and Hull, near tha
offices of the Oeorgia Central Railroad.
This is an excellent location for a boarding
house, and unsurpassed for retail business.
The house is roomy and the lot large,
fIOxSK), with much of the space unoccupied,
A splendid stand for business in the im J
mediate vicinity of the H., F. <fc W\ Ry, just
on the thoroughfare leading into the ware
house and offices. This consist* of a largo
dwelling, with store attached, well builtnnd
convenient,. Its proximity to the Depot
gives sjiecial value to this property for em
ployes, or for persons desiring the patronage
of employes.
Another comer on York and Monteoma
cry streets, consisting of store and dwelling,
is in a location where property is seldom
offered, and never offered long. I’urchasera
call nlwnys lie found for property in this
vicinity, on account of its uoarpess to the
Market, liny wtreot and the retail street!.,
Considered as an investment, it will always
be in demand by tenants.
A West liroad and Jones street comer is
the last on the list. This is among the best*
of West Broad cornora. rurticulars can bw
had at my office. -
A Few Residences'
A double house in tho eastern portion of
the city, near the Bay. This is an exceed-*
ingly pleasant location, facing a square. It
will lie an admirable homo for persons doing
business in that suction.
A two story dwelling on Bryan streetJ
near Farm. In this locality homes always
rent well. This is jiarticularly recoins
mended to persons desiring a small, snu J
invi-stinent, aud those drown in Loan AssoJ
ciations.
A neat and comfortable cottage in tha
southwestern portion of the city. This i*
lust the place in which to commence hous< J
keeping life.
ON SALT WATER:
I have for sale the most complete prop
erty of this description in this vicinity.
Good water and air, cool breezes, fertile!
land, plenty of shade, abundance of fruiti
