MUCH IN THIS MANS NAME
Immigrant Boastfully Gave the Right
One and Was Speedily Sent
Back Home.

rs there anything in a name?' II
this question were propounded to
Mateusz Makowski he no doubt would
answer with big ''yes.'
On account of too many names and
a lack of currency Makowski has taken
hurried departure from the United
States, and is now on board the steamer
Chemnitz, which left Baltimore recent
ly for Bremen.
The man arrived at Baltimore on July
Z, having a prepaid ticket to this coun-
try made out in the name of Joseph
Bies. When examined by the United
States immigrant inspectors the al
legged Bies did not answer the questions
propounded to him in satisfactory
manner, and for this reason was held up
for further examination, and, with sew
eral immigrants, confined in the deten-
ton house.
+ This delay in landing seemed to alarm
the immigrant, and he asked to be per-
mitted to write letter. He was fur
nished with the stationery, and, after
finishing the epistle, he signed his
name: Lovingly yours, Mateusz
Makowski." AS he put the last -four
ish to his name one of the immigra-
ton inspectors, who was unknown to
the man, complimented him on his
handwriting and asked to look at the
letter. Being susceptible to fiattery, the
writer handed the letter over and the
inspector Immediately asked why he
should have signed himself other than
Bies.
In sub-rosa tone the man took the
inspector into his confidence and told
him that Bies was not his name, and
that he had just gotten hold of the
ticket and come over on it. The man.
after admitting this, discovered that he
was talking to one of the officials and
at once became like clam. He would
answer. no further questions. AS he
was laborer, without friends in this
country and having only five dollars,
the special board of inquiry ordered the
immigrant to be returned. He sailed the
next day, sadder, but no doubt wiser,
