This establishment has promi.
hence as the only cooperative store
in the city. The Parkersburg Co.
operative Association was organ
lied and duly.incorporated in July
1885. Soon thereafter the store
was established at the present ex-
cellent stand and has been doing
and active and rapidly increasing
business ever since. The shares of
stock are only $40, within the reach
of the many, thus giving the many
a direct interest in the store and
making them sharers in whatever
margins they pay for their goods
above cost price. And then. with
careful and economic management,
the expenses are small, and buying
and selling for cash only, they
save in discounts at one end and
in having no bad debts at the
other. The Company is thus able
to sell on very small profits and
makes it to the interest of the pub
lie generally to cooperate with the
Cooperative store, which the pub
lie is largely doing.

KNOWN AS SAN JOSE JOE.

A Shark of Mammoth Proportions that
Gave a Remarkable Free Exhibition.
NEW YORK, March 31.-Such of the
passengers in the steamer Granada on her
last trip from San Francisco to Panama
as have completed the journey to New
York are unanimous in asserting that at
San Jose de Guatemala, the ship lying at
anchor, was ten times circumnavigated by
the largest shark on record. Some of the
sailors had the hardwood to say that they
had seen creatures of the samespecies with a
little greater breadth of beam, aud one Davi-
gator asserted that he had often seen that
identical shark before, and that as he
made the waters around G~uatemala's chief
seapoGts his cruising ground, he and his
shipmateS had christened him ''Saa Jose
joe" As able seamen are famous fora
veracity that increases as they grow older,
the passengers allowed this name to stand
md shouted it at him in wild excitement
while they tumbled over each other az
they followed him alta satisfactory alti-
tude sailing Grouud the ship. Lldies who
had children with them claspcd their
little Oues tightly in their arms, feeling
that whatever chance they might have of
being tished oat ifthey were alone in the
water, they must be lost with that grizzly
thing for companion.
He was spotted like Q leopard, and
while opinion varied az tn his actual
length, nOb0dy estimated it To be less
than thirty feet. It's tail yielded a meas
urement OF ten feet to the mathematical
eye OF the carpenter, but it was not easy
to say just where that appeGdage connect
ed with the small of his back, the change
of ro.uudity being very gradual; bat his
head was of generous dimensions and his
caverncus mouth, rs he slowly operCd and
closed it, swallowing everything that was
thrown in his way, was seemingly capac-
ious enough TO admit out Of the wet the
fattest mar living. without in the slightest
degree straining the jaws.
Sal Jose Joe swan slowly around the
ship, with twO-thirds Of his vast back
above the water. A steerage passenger,
whose privileges did not extend abaft the
foremast, stood at the boundary line and
threw a ships chair ON the uncovered part.
The shark carried it ut lesSt forty feet be-
fore it was dislpdged.
At last the chief officer leaned over the
after rail and fred four shots from . British
bulldog pistol at the brute. The bull, Is
all glanced harmlessly Gom its tough hide,
but after tie fourth discharge he seemed
to fancy that he was being unfairly treated,
and he swan sulkily away.
