v. PORPOiSE HUNTING.
Dangerous Sport Followed by the
PassamaquOddy Indians.

In the northern part of Maine and in
Nova Scotia there are still many
Indians of the Passamaquoddy tribe,
and these Indians follow a pursuit that
is almost unknown to the outside world.
They shoot porpoises. Everybody ia
miliar with the sea has watched these
queer creatures. They are less shy
about showing themselves than any
other inha bitant of the ocean; but to
see them tumbling over themselves in
their odd regular way is all the world
in general ever has to do with them;
the Passamaquoddy Indians, however,
not only shoot them, but make their liv-
ing mainly out of porpoise, and living
well earned it is, too, for there is no
occupation in the world that calls for
more bravery, skill and endurance.
The money is obtained by sell
oil brings the Indians about sc
cents a gallon; the oil obtained
from the paws sells higher; it is tried
out by itself because of its superiority.
and is valued by watchmakersN and
others. who want an oil of very fine
lubricating quality. The Indians eat
the porpoise fiesh-it is very much like
fresh pork and many white fishermen
around the coast like it well enough to
give she Indians fresh fish in exchange
for it. - ---~-~------.-..-
There are no game laws to protect
porpoise, and the hunting goes on the
year around, though the blubber is
something like two inches thick in win
ter. against one and a half in summer;
but then the danger and suffering to
the Indian, not the fish, are far greater
in cold weather.
Make a guess as to how long big
porpoise is. He does not look, when
seen from shore or from a steamers

QUARTERMASTER BERRY
TAKEN FROM SHERIDAN

Captain A. P. Berry, U. S. A, quar-
termaster of the transport Sheridan,
has been dismissed in disgrace and his
place is filled by Captain Frank Nor
row, son of General Morrow, q. S. A,
who Will be in charge of the transport
on her present trip. Capt. Berry was
recently ordered under arrest by the
Secretary of War.
The arrest is the result of charges
preferred by Major Parke, Fourteenth
Infantry, who was passenger in the
Sheridan when the vessel passed
through Honolulu last month Ell route
to Vancouver Barracks.
Major Parke enumerated several
minor charges, among them being
drunkenness and general incompetency
besides an act of indiscretion aboard
the troopship. A part of his eonuuct,
namely, that of drunkenness, is said
to have its origin in Honolulu. Cap
tain Berry was very drunk while the
transport was here, when Colonel Babb
was in charge of troops. The Exami-
ner gives an instance of alleged dis
orderly conduct by Berry on board the
transport and adds:
cit is further alleged that when the
Sheridan reached Honolulu, Captain
Berry was compelled to send in his
resignation, which was to take effect
when San Francisco was reached
A full denial of the purport of the
charges was made by Berry when the
Sheridan arrived at Portland, April "a.

REDUCTION IN SUGAR
BELIEVED TEMPORARY

NEW YORK, May I'm. G.. Wansar
& Co. say of sugar: The reaction can
not last much longer. The influence of
solid buying by those who must have
sugar to supply the consuming trade
will soon make itself felt and the
course of prices from then on will be
governed by actual supply and de-
mand conditions. We believe those
conditions will compel higher prices.
The consumption on the Continent does
not show an important falling off, but
the Great Britain and United States
figures are disappointing. That there
has been a real decrease to the extent
statistics indicate is a fact that at
present cannot be determined. Invis-
ible stocks of refned-that is, those
sugars in the hands of the distributors
have been larger than was supposed;
therefore, stocks in first hands, which
are the visible supplies upon which
statistics are based, have not gone out
so rapidly. We believe the reduced
MEETINGS of our refners so far this year
are partly explained by the large ship
ments made during January. The sug-
ars We're not needed then. but they
were cheap, and it paid the distribu-
tors to carry them. Later on, when sta
tistics may reasonably be judged with
more accuracy, we will probably find
that the higher cost has caused only
very slight curtailment of consumption
in the United States"

that the business OF insurance had at

the means OF making provision for the

surplus exceeding sl3 600 600. the liabilities

WHO MUST
SHOVEL
THE SNOW

! Another complaint for failure 10 remove
snow from a sidewalk was tried IN tho
Police court. before Judge PirGe this
morning
The respondent was Ernest l. Haskins,
/ who resides al Is Winter street.
Patromen James l.. Coyle r. J. Tier
nan and Frank L. Martin testified that
snow fell on Jan. 26th and that they
served notices upon Haskns' wife on
Jan 27th and 2Sth. on those days the
sidewalk had not been cleaned and the
only pathway through the snow was that
which pedestrians had made.
Warrant officer Martin testified that on
the day that Haskins was arrested he
said that he had shoveued the snow off
the sidewalk I'm front OF 7S Winter street
all winter. but that he thought It was no
moro than fair that the other tenants
should take a turn at that job.
Charles Atwood, the owner Of the prem
ises testified that his typewriter let the
fiat 10 Haskins' mother-in-law, who said
that while she was TO pay the rent Has
kins would be the responsible party in the
transaction.
Upon that understanding the tenement
was taken and since then the receipts had
been made out I'm Hssklns' name.
Haskins testified that he and his wife
boarded with his mother-in-Iaw Abby VI.
White. and that while his wife and moth
er went together 10 hire the tenement ne
never authorized them 70 use his name
as the one to be responsible for the rent.
ON oross-exsminatlon he admitted that
he had never made any objection 10 hav-
ing the rent receipts made out in his
name.
Mr.. Arthur Cushing. counsel for Has
kins, suggested that a reasonable con-
struoton OF the law ought TO make IL
apply 10 the owner who reserved a por-
tion of the premises for MS own and gen
eral use Of the tenants. also that the
use OF Haskins name In the hiring OF the
tenement was unwarranted and unauthor-
lied
Judge Ptrce said that the city might
under tho law proceed against any one or
all the tenants OF a building.
The tenants ought 10 so arrange for
the care Of the sidewalks that the bur
den thereof would be equitably distributed
among them all.
While Haskins said that he was a
boarder. the evidence showed that he was
resposible for the payment Of the rent.
Under the circumstances, however, the
court would make the nne less because
tho other tenants had shirked their part
of the work
The fine was made 81 and costs, from
which an appeal was taken, John Fallon
becoming surety on the appeal bond in
800
John d. Fallon was then arranged for
negecting 10 clean snow from the same
sidewalks on the same.
He pleaded not guilty and gave surety
In $500 for trial next Tuesday morning
John Fallon became his surety.
