OFFICERS
Alleged Bogus Papers Mention Mole,

Wound

Deliberately mutilating himself, in
order to make his appearance conform
to alleged false Identification papers,
Wong Ho, said to be in this country In
violation of the immigration laws,
sought to deceive the United States
officers at San Bernardino but was de-
tected in his willy scheme and was taken
to the county jail yesterday in COM
pany with four other Chinese.
According to the story told by the in
spectors, they rounded up bunch of
Chinese at a big vegetable garden be-
tween San Bernardino and Redlands.
Out of the number three were said to
be identified as having been spotted by
officers in Ensenada.
Another, Lee Shan, was unable to pro-
duce certificate, and Wong Ho pro-
duced a paper in triumph which he
thought would satisfy the officers.
Description Does Not Fit
In comparing the certificates descrip-
ton with that of the Chinese one of the
inspectors saw that the Chinese was
lacking a mole behind the right ear.
He remarked upon this to one of the
other men and proceeded to examine
other Chinese, lined up for examination.
About half an hour later he came back
to Wong Ho, and that willy celestial, In
broken English, managed TO tell the
officer that he was formerly marked
with a mole back of the right ear, but
had concluded 10 cut II on.

Denton.

Denton, the county seat of Caroline
County, has, during the past ten years,
been enjoying an almost unprecedented
business boom. 1t has progressed far
more rapidly in that time than has any
town in the State of Delaware. There
is spirit of thrift there, which ex-
tends throughout the whole county.
Block after block of imposing business
houses have been erected, and scores
of handsome residences as any town
can boast.
The hotel, and an excellent one it is,
does a thriving business. 1t was full
of guests, indeed. 1 had to wait on
departing guest before could be ac-
comodated with a room. The table
was all that could be desired, and so
was the service. The number of new
arrivals during one day 1 spent there
was twenty-nine. This hotel rents for
800 or $500, and the landlord is max.
ing money. Why, of course he is, and
so have other men in this same house.
I remember that years ago, long before
Denton had the semblance of a boom
John H. Van Gesel came here from
Harrington, with but little means,
opened this hotel, and retired from
business several years after, the pos
SCISSOR of a snug fortune made within
its doors. No better proof is needet
that a good hotel can be run proftabl,
without selling rum.

Interview With J. L. Eyerugham.

''This is the store of one of the most
successful merchants I ever knew"
said a citizen of Denton, as we paused
in front of large dry goods store.
'This merchant is J. L. Everhgham," "
said he, "who came to this town eight
years ago, and began business on a
capital of less than thousand dollars.
To-day he carries a stock worth $25,
900, and owns bank account that will
easily count $4,000. Come inside,
and let's have a talk with him."
After a formal Introduction, 1 told
him was trying to ascertain some
facts as to how docal option affected
business in Denton.
"Ah," said he, ''local option is the
business mans friend. Experience
has taught me that the hardest man to
compete with is therum-seller. Where
rum is sold men will drink, and while
the wages of the workingman is drop
ping dime by dime into the rum sellers S
till, / am forced to trust him for the
necessaries of life, and too often am
never paid. Local Option has proved
a great blessing to Caroline County.
I attribute to it whatever success in
business 1 have had. If I were to start
in business again, I would begin in a
dry town, never in a wet one. Give
me dry town every time to do bust
ness in"

On ways located one and one-half
miles from creek or navigable stream
Peter Jarman, living near Warwick,
Sussex County, Delaware, is building
a sloop 36 feet ever all and ID feet beam.
There is much mystery surrounding
the boat and the yards in which it is
erected, for they were constructed
within few days and then fenced in
order to keep the inquisitive public
from Witnessing the operations. Jar.
man refuses to say anything about his
strange craft and the mystery with
which his shipyard and the sailing
vessel are surrounded seems to please
him. 1t will be utterly impossible to
launch the boat, as there is not body
Of water in the neighborhood big
enough to float toy boat. In order
to get the craft to stream deep enough
to float it the sloop will have to be
hauled or transported on rollers a dis
tance of nearly two miles, and this
would be a difficult task. Jarman's
neighbors are puzzled as to whether
he knows of some mysterious hidden

remark on the weather and asked for

didn't have to shoot. He simply turn

offered to add jar of jam to make up
for his neglect, but Mr.. Bowser quietly
smiled and took the package under his
