LITTLE ROCK MEN
RESIGN FROM BOARD.
Had Discouraged Raising Bonus
for New Gulf Road, Which
Shaner Says Will be
Built.
\ Mayor W. E. Lenon, Robert E.
wait, George McClain and John
■. Rose today resigned from the
lirectory of the St. Louis, Little
lock & Gulf railroad company,
llhe resignations were accepted
byj President Shaner. As expla
nation of this action several rea
sons are specified, among them
the fact that the management of
the corporation has undertaken
to raise a local bonus through the
Boa^d of Trade. When the above
named gentlemen were first ap
proached regarding the new rail
road project they replied that if
their private subscriptions would
assist Little Rock in getting an
other road they would willingly
aid it to that extent, but sug
gests* that there be no thought
of ai/king for a bonus for the en
i terpnse as they did not favor it,
as a tonus would be exceedingly
difficult if not impossible to raise.
Actin'? on the assurance of Pres
ident shaner that the necessary
funds lad been provided for, and
with n other motive than a wil
lingness to be used in a limited
way tojecure another railroad to
the cit, the gentlemen signed
the artiles and accepted direct
orship. Shortly after this the
matter <: local bonus or gift sub
scriptior took active shape, T-hs
movemet was discouraged' by
the abo> named stockholders,

matter, [r. Shaner was asked

PORTUNE IN PORPOISES.
A«ar of the White Cetaceans Pr*.
t«»t the Oelf of St. Uwreaet,
awl Are Valnable.
American tourists crossing the St
Lawrence from the mouth of the Sague
nay can almost always enjoy theislght of
a number of porpoises disporting them
helves upon the water In the neighbor
hood of Tadoussac, says the New York
Sun. The great white cetaceans appear
like shapeless masses of blubber as tbelr
arched backs show from time to tlmj
above the surface. They are doubtless
attracted to the mouth of the Saguenay
by the large number of salmon which en
ter the river throughout the season.
A large industry is expected soon to
spring up In various parts of the Gulf of
St Lawrence in connection with the
hunting of porpoises. It has already
been attempted upon a small scale, but
the difficulty of capturing any great
number1 of the animals has stood in the
way of success. Now the difficulty has
been overcome through the observations
and experiments of Campbell McNab, a
Canadian hunter, who has spent many
years in the study of these animals.
The adult porpoise of the St. Lawrence
apd the North Atlantic ocean is from
12 to 18 feet in length. It somewhat re
sembles a dolphin in shape, with large
dorsal lln and a mouth armed with many
strong and sharp teeth. Each porpoise
is believed to eat from one to three bar
rels of fish a day, so that it is difficult
to estimate the frightful ravages which
they make among the salmon, the her
ring and the cod. They are largely gre
garious, though they often hunt their
prey in couples. Mr. McNab has often
peered over the edge of an overhanging
rock to watch them catch salmon at the
mouth of a stream and sometimes a long
iistance up a river, where, they follow
their prey. They chase a salmon Into a
shallow and then two approach it from
either side. The salmon appears un
ible to move, as if paralyzed with fear,
tf be attempts to rush from one of his
pursuers he falls into the open mouth pt
the other.
The porpoise is equally expert in flsh

opened one of these animals the othei
day and found more than 40 eels in iti
stomach. To prevent their wriggling
and to aid digestion, the porpoise cracks
the skull of the eel between its teeth be
fore swallowing it,
Like the eel, the porpoise fifth liv* ■
long time out of the water. In fact, It It
virtually amphibious. Some time igo

he says, and dfiened its jaws to snap him.
The porpoise/are captured by being
imprisoned at lo*? tide On the shoals,
over which they have journeyed when
the tide was high, in pursuit of their
prey. Hitherto the difficulty has been to
find any barrier strong enough t6 retain
such enormously strong, heavy beasts,
and so many of them together as' are
sometimes enclosed. Mr. McNab has
made the interesting discovery that th«
enormous nets through which they often
broke are not necessary to hold back
the brutes. They are unable to stand the
Slightest vibration in the water, and so
ill that the hunter now finds necessary is
to fasten a long thin pole like a fishing
rod to a stake In the mouth of the

WAS WASHINGTON’S STAFF.
Interesting History of Cane Ones
Owned by Father of Hi*
Country.
One of the things that passed
through the Baltimore fire un
scathed was a cane once owned by
George Washington and now the
property of Maj. H. H. Raleigh.
The cane reposed during the fire
in the vault of the Merchants’
Credit and Collection Bureau at
Liberty and German streets, says
the New York Sun.
“In Gen. Washington’s will,*
said Maj. Raleigh, “two canes are
mentioned. One was bequeathed
to Robert Washington, of Chop
tank, Va., who gave it to Robert
Thompson, a relative.
“Later it passed to Miss Kittie
Thompson, a sister of Robert
Thompson, and finally Peter Gra
son Washington of New York,
who was assistant secretary of the
treasury under Guthrie, was the
owner of the stick.
“Peter Grason Washington be
queathed the cane to the oldest
male heir of Gen. George Wash
ington who was living at the time
of his death. The late Mrs. Ra
leigh was a granddaughter of a
Mrs. McPherson, of Washington,
D. C., who before her marriage
was a Miss Washington. After
some contention it was proved
that Mrs. Raleigh’s brother,
whose family name was Edwards,
was the person entitled to the pos
session of the cans, I purchased
the relic for my wife, and when,
she died it became my property.*
Although described as a cane,
rollr* la rpnllv n st-iff T+ la nf
bamboo, about four and a half
feet long and just SUvch a stick as
Washington might have used in
tramping over his broad acres in
Mount Vernon. The Washington
coat-of-arms adorns its gold head,
knditisencircledwith a gold band,
tfpbfl which is inscribedj
“Willed to Robert Wttshifigtoff
fcnd by him to descend to Peter
Grason Washington, of New
York.”
As soon as the embers had
cooled, Maj. Raleigh hastened to
the vault and was much relieved
I to find after the cane had been re
moved from the chamois skin case
that ft had not been scorched.
SHARK AS A MESSENGER.
Carried Xtemtpaper to Sydney Outdis
tancing Steamer Conveying Im
portant Item of News.
The story of the discovery of
banian bones and bangles in the
interior of ihe crocodile captured
at Fort Johnson, Rhodesia,
brings to mind another story
which may appositely be recalled
at the present juncture. Every,
body has heard of “Mrs. Macquar
ie’s chair,” as they call the east
urn point of Farm Cove, in Sydney
harbor. There, says the St
James' Gazette, it was that a poor
‘migrant, in pre-cable days, killed
md towed ashore a shark, cut him
ip, and found a London newspa
ier in the internals. In the paper
vas the announcement of the war
ueiween jvrance and Germany,
The shark had outdistanced the
steamer by which the mail was
coming, and here the discoverer
had the fact to himself. He gave
his information to a wealthy wdol
dealer, who bought all the sea
son’s clip at 9d. per pound, and
sold at 3s. after the news of the
war had arrived by the ordinary
channel. He cleared, it is said,
four millions sterling by the deal.
The man who killed the shark and
eitracfed the news of price—well,
he received a battered silk hat
and a live ■billing piece and unre
strained liberty as to the disposal
of the shark.
