PORTO RICAN NOVELTIES.
Mammees and Pourport Nuts Are
Among the Recent I'm
portations.

Two new curiosities are being featured
at the local market side show. They are,
good people, worth almost the price of
admission alone, says the Chicago Trib-
une. Each might be called the what
Is it," The larger OF the two is known
by two names-mammee apple and sa-
pota, the latter being the Spanish FOR 1t.
Ii was captured off the coast Of Porto
Rico by party Of fishermen out In
search of big FISH, and was brought to
this country at enormous expense. The
mammee resembles the ordinary cocoa
nut in many ways, but it is few sizes
smaller than that worthy. Externally
speaking, ii Is not as attractive as an
American beauty, but from another
point CT view it is--well, one only wishes
that he had the price, that's all. In
taste the mammee is a cross between a
peach and an apricot One mammee
gees a long way, because almost every
thing but the jacket is good to eat. The
fruit Is quite common in Porto Rico, where
the natives never think Of eating 1t 9TH
erwise than raw. However 1t is said
that it may be boiled into a sauce that
is really delicious. The mammee scored
q big hit with Miles and his men when
they occupied the island at the time OF
the recent war, and those who partici-
pated in that campaign are about the
only ones who know all about the prod
uct There are not enough mammees
in Chicago to-day to make it worth while
taking a census.
Tn cher curiosity Is known as the
pourpo-t nut. To the uninitiated 1t
might be taken for a new wrinkle in the
lady finger line. It is about the size
OF the dainty cakelet but possesses a
darker color. The pourport is the pea
nut of Porto Rico. although, of course,
II is not cultivated so extensively there
as is the circus necessity in this country.
The pourport is kernellesG nut, its
"goody" being a pulpy substance. 1t
has hard she'll and 1t takes pretty
sound crack to get to the part that's good
to eat. But the difficulty experienced
IN getting beyond the shell Is more than
Offset by the excellence Of the meat.
The pourport tastes about as much like
a hickory nut as tomato butter tastes
like Kentucky twist tobacco. A nibbie
OF It reminds one little OF uncooked

INCORPORATING BUSINESS
The Last Month Far Exceeded the
 Average.

The receipts of the office of the terri torial auditor for last month from fees for articles of incorporation were S29O5.15 about s4OO more than the aver age monthly receipts from this source. It was predicted at the time of the de- cision of Judge Kent in the case of the Black Warrior litigation in which it was held that annual meetings of cor poratiors organized under the laws of the territory should be held in the ter ritory would rob Arizona of a great deal of its attractiveness to intending operators. That was especially feared by the various comr anies in Arizona engaged in the incorporating business. But it turns out that the business since that decision has been heavier than be- fore.
 A good deal of inquiry was made by officers of foreign corporations irco-- porated in Arizona regarding the de- cision. They learned. though, that they were not likely to be affected by it; that the decision was based upon $ principal of law recognized everywhere and that it did not materially change the status of any company.
 It was not held in the first place that meetings of Arizona companies held outside tho. territory were necessarily void, but that they were voidable, only however, at the instance of such stock holders as had not estOpped themselves by taking part in such meetings. The ordinary business of corporations trans acted at annual meetings is apt to be harmonious and there would he no fault to find with it. In unusual cases in which minority stockholders might absent themselves from the meetings for the purpose of making subsequent trouble. the nature of the business de- sired to be transacted might be out lined and transacted by proxy at meeting held within the territory. That would be a slight inconvenience but it would be one which would seldom arise.
