Noted Police officer.

New York Lette The redoubtable
Capt. Williams is a candidate for the
Inspectorship made vacant by the pro-
motion of Murray. The commission
ers might do worse than give it to him.
Though Williams has received more
abuse in his time than any other man
ever got in New York for police work,
he is really one of the best officers the
city ever had. Charges have been made
against him over and over, but none
have ever been proved, and he.stands
higher to-day than ever before. The
special characteristic of Williams is to
take hold of thing with all his might
and do it at once. There is no stop
ping to think about it. When there
is rough work to do he is as
ready with his fists as with his
club. He knows the manly art as
| well as any trained pugilist, and d blow
| from him is as sure to fell as If it came
from the big Boston bruiser himself.
Williams cleared the whole tribe of
bunko thieves out of his precinct with
out ever using club. Hepreferred to
grab a couple of them, one with each
hand, knock their heads together like
two cocoanuts, then give each kick
and tell them if he ever caught them
in his bailiwick again he would break
their necks. A few nights ago Manager
McCaull sent for policeman to drive
off lot of ticket spectators who had
taken possession of the sidewalk in
| front OF his theater. Williams respond
ed in person instead of sending man.
He ordered the spectators to clear
out, and as they were in no hurry
about it he grabbed couple of them
at a rush, flung them spraying into
the street and scared the others off on
q dead run

How the Lame Mare Made him
Rich.

In 1873 the Rev. A. B. Scutt was
pastor of the Methodist church at Ridge
bury, Orange county, N. Y. He was q
lover and q Judge Of good horse flesh,
but was too poor to indulge his likings
in the matter. He owned black mare
which was badly disfgured by knee
swollen to three times its natural size.
The animal would not have brought $50
at an outside figure, but Dominic Scptt
believed that she came from good stock,
her pedigree, according to him, being
the Mulbee horse as sire, and her dam
by Abdallah. He was anxious to get
colt from her by good horse, and
finally had her bred to Woods stallion
Knickerbocker. About the time the
colt was foaled Dominic Scutt was pros
trated by paralysis. He was penniless,
and could not pay for the services of
the stallion. Wood thought so we'll of
the colt that he discharged the debt
and gave the dominic 800 besides for
the little frisker. This colt was sold in
deergis, where it was trained. II
proved to be very fast,
Since then the big kneed mare has
been bred five times to Knickerbocker.
The second colt is black stallion which
last year yielded Dominic Scutt 81, 800
in the stud, and was driven, after trott-
ing six miles, mile in 2 :2O4 on Q FIVE
eighths Of mile track. This hofse is
known as Dom Pedro, The third colt
Dominic Scutt traded for farm near
Binghamton, portion of which he sold
for 81, 500, and has an offer Of $12, 500
for the remainder. The other two colts
belong to the dominic. and are valued
at 81, 800. She still lives at the age Of
20.

A Fine Painting Rescued.

Washington Letter.
Just as you 60 into the office OF the
assistant secretary of the treasury you
may see on the right wall fine por
trait of George Washington in gilt
frame. 1t is bust picture in oils, and
is wonderfully life-like and rich in it's
colors. 1t looks something like Stu
art, but it has a softer and not SO
horid coloring. This picture was
resurrected within the last few weeks
by Assistant Secretary OF the Treas
ury Coon from the dust room in the
basement, where it had been lying
for generations. The carpenter of the
treasury called Mr.. Coon's attention
to it, and said he intended to clean it
and reframe it and hang it upin his
shop. Mr.. Coon thought it might be
worth hanging somewhere else and had
it properly cleaned. When the dust
and dirt was removed, this beautiful
Washington appeared. No one knows
who painted it, but it is undoubtedly
one of the first pictures among the
many art works ofthe capitol.

Davy Jones, Locker.

The following explanation is given al
the origin and meaning Of the phrase
'Davy jones' LOCKER" used by sea-
men: Sailors call the sea "Davy Jones
Locker" because the dead are thrown
there. Davy is corruption of duffy, !"
by which name ghosts or spirits are
known among the West Indian negroes,
and Jones corruption Of the name Of
the Prophet Jonah, who was thrown
into the sea. Locker, in seamen's par
lance, means any receptacle for private
stores. So that when sailor says,
"He's1 gone to Davy Jones' LOCKER
he means HE is gone to the place Of
safe-keeping where duffy Jonah was
sent to. "Smollett tells us, in Peregrine
Pickle, that, according to the myth0-
logy of sailors, the self-ssme Davy Jonas
is fiend that presides over ell the evil
spirits Of the sea, and is seen in various
shapes, warning the devoted wretch Of
death Or woe.
