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 '■P town train. Bill Nye. 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. John Collier. 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.
