TEN DOLLAR ISSUE
Unsuspecting Germans Scans Word
Ten" But Fails to See >Vignette
of Late Jefferson Davis

Notwithstanding the fact that the
Confederate states of America coll
lapsea over >fifty-four years ago:
money bearing the vignette of the
late Jefferson Davis is still being cir
,ulated, as was evidenced last Sun
day night in this city.
A negro named Aubrey Washing
ton had a en*dollar, note in his po-.
session which had been issued by the
defunct government sometime in the
early sixties, and from its conditions
showed it has passed through many.
hands in its long history.
Having exhausted his exchequer
Washington conceived the idea of
realizing upon the note. Seated in a
pool room with him at the time were
two colored boys who volunteered to
get the bill changed into money of
the realm with the understanding
that each was to receive a dollar.
The boys proceeded to store con-
lucted by Mrs Annie Berba. q Ger
man woman, at the corner Of Pen
dleton and st. !Asaph streets. The
light in the store was dim and Mrs.
Berba without -scrutinizing the note
any more closely than to satisfy her
self that the word "ten" was upon
it, handed out the change. Washing
ton rewarded the boys with a dollar
each.
The police were later informed Of
.hc fraud and arrested Washington
md one Of the boys he had utilized.
The case will come up in the Police
Court tonight when the other boy IT.

ORIENTAL BARRISTER
Chinese Lawyer Represents One Of
His Countrymen in Police Court

I his SOuntTSmtH III loISS Souit 7.
At-a special session sf the Police
| Court last night a Chinaman who
conducts laundry in this city was
, arraigned on the charge of failing
to deliver a satchel belonging to
one of his customers. 1t was al
legged by the complainant that it is
his wont to carry his collars. etc,
to the celestial in this receptacle,
and that heretofore his business
relations with the Chinaman had
been satisfactory. A few days ago.
however. when he applied for his
garments they were handed to him
minus the, satchel.
Claims. against Chinese laundry
men are the most tantalizing issues
upon which the Police Court is cal
led upon to pass Judgment from
the fact that the defendant is gen.
orally unable to understand ENglish..
Hence it. is the custom generally to.
induce The accused to pay the costs
of lost articles without declaring.
them guilty of larceny.
Last night the defendant appear:
ed with two lawyers, ONE an Alex
andrian and the other from the land
of Confucius. The latter, under
standing the Chinese dialect as well
as English, aided the court mater
tally in getting at the case from the;
viewpoint of the defendant. The
Laundry man alleged that his custo-
mer had been in the habit of bring
ing his garments to the laundry in
the satchel and later. before the
garments had been washed and
ironed, he would return and carry
away the empty receptacle. This,
it was alleged. must have been done
on the occasion of his last visit. As
the case stood it was one mans
word against another. hence no de-
cison could be rendered. The com
plainant said he could furnish
witness in his behalf, and the case
was continued until tonight.
The barrister from the celestial
kingdom is of the educated and
modern class. He. wears glasses
and is lacking of the aggressive
ness Of most Of our natire lawyers.
Mild-mannercd and m2elS.he at 1 the
same time made it evident that he
is posted in law.
In the present polyglott popula-
ton Of Alexandria the Mongolan is
and n Chinese lawyer
would prove a great desideratum in
certain Issues in which their coun-
trymen become involved
