Shark Elshlna on AonoluIu.

"One OF Honolulu's most exciting
pastimes is shark fishing" said
George r. Wilson, planter of Homo
lulu. Large sharks abound off
Honolulu harbor, and fishermen may
usually count on bringing back one
or two sea monsters from eight 10
fourteen feet long by going three or
four miles from shore. The fish may
either be harpooned or hooked, Ito
latter method being the easier. Tht
harpooning is more dangerous and
more difiirut
the shark fishers need a small
launch, dead horse, some harpoons
or hooks and some large calibre rifles.
The horse Is sometimes killed a day
or two before the expedition, as
sharks are supposed to like their
horse meat high The horse is tied
NJ the end of rope and left to float
about sixty feet away from the
launch, and then the wait for the
sharks begins.

TO be as suspicious as any fox. While
the shark is making these repeated

drawn toward the boat. When har-
pooning Is to be done che bait is
drawn gradually closer until the
shark comes right up TO the boat,
Then the harpoon is plunged into
him and the battle begins. He gets
exhausted by and by and then the
rifles come into play.

PLANT To CLOSE
IN THREE WEEKS
INACTIVITY OF THE RAILROAD
WORLD FELT Bf THE RICH
MOND LOCOMOTIVES WORKS.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 1S.-From
the Richmond branch OF the Ameri-
can Locomotive Works comes the
announcement that this immense in
stitution, which under normal con-
ditions has weekly pay roll OF
$4,000, will close down within
three weeks as a result OF the inan-
cial stringency.
With the slump In business, which
was a necessary incident OF the I'M
easiness prevailing among fnan-
ciers, has come corresponding fall
ing on In the freight traffic, and this
In turn, has emrtied the boilers and
stopped the wheels of 10000 loco
motives in the Union. While these
remain idle there will, OF course. be
no demand for new engines.
1T can hardly be said that the
temporary inactivity of the Locomo-
tive Works occasions great surprise
among those intimately connected
with the affairs of this establish
ment. The warming came several
weeks ago, when material reduc-
tions in the working force were
made, and when signs of retrench-
ment began to manifest themselves
me announcement of the closing
next month does not state how long
the plant will remain idle, but -..e
news, in itself. is sufficient to cause
regret among the army of mechan-
les who found employment there.
In railroad circles attention is
also called to the fact that the
Southern Railway has inaugurated
far-reaching system of retrench.
ment' which carries a 10 per cent.
cut in salaries and the discharge OF
many operatives. 1t is said that at
least 700 men in Richmond and
Manchester will be affected by this
change
Other railroads throughout the
land including the usually prosper
Gus Pennsylvania, also are retrench-
ing.
