Scenes at the “Shores” ‘Where the Seines Are Hauled —Some of the Varieties Secured. ‘The regular fishing season in this vicinity for 1896 began Monday last, and, although the Washington markets are well supplied with fish of nearly every variety, there is a demand for all that have so far reached here, and the prices obtained have been very satisfactory to dealers. Strange as it may seem, the direction in which the wind has been blowing for the past few days has been the means of keep- ing several thousand men, who have no other occupation than fishing, out of em- ployment, as it has driven many of the fish #0 far out toward the middle of the rivers and in the bay that they are beyond the depth where the seines can be operated. When the season is at its height not less than 5,000 men—many of them having homes in this city—are busily employed at fairly remunerative wages. At this time not more than half that number are so engaged. ‘The leading dealers carry on their busi- ness in @ manner which reflects credit on their enterprise. Some own tugs:and sev- eral vessels, which are devoted entirely to the transportation of fish, and they are thus enabled to have their fish, which have been caught in the afternoon, in the markets early the following morning. The arrival of a boatload of fish at any of the various wharves which are devoted to the purpose of the fish men ia the signal for an animated scene. Persons who have been present when sales are made in a produce exchange know with what interest the broker who wants to buy to fulfill his con- tracts, or the one who desires to sell in order to make @ prompt return to his consignor, gather about the pit and makes the most earnest effort to secure his object. Assorting the Fish. Just so, but in a smaller degree, is the business of selling fish conducted at any of the fish wharves in this city. When the net is brought to land at the shore it is found to contain shad and other fish, which are readily purchased by those able to in- dulge in such luxuries, but there are fre- quentiy great quantities of other sorts of fish, which cannot be readily sold in the open market, and these must be disposed of in another manner. Accordingly, either at the shore or on the Way up lo this city the haul made by the seine is carefully assor' Each kind is Placed in a barrel or barrels. When a bvativad of tish is tied up at the wharf the captain tinds waiting for him probabiy a hundred or more hucksters from every portion of the District. A bar- rel of fish is 28 quickly as possible rolled cp to a large bieck or low table in the around which the ucksters assemble in a circle and eagerly criticise or bid for the fish which are of- fered for their inspection. Of course, the fish which are sold in this manner are all &o00d, and comprise the different varieties, including shad, but they are not, it is said, quite as chuice as those which are sent direct to.the markets to supply the persons who go there to make their pur- chases. The best fishing grounds are, it is said, nearly eighty or 4 hundred miles below this city, and here, when the season is a good one, as is the outlook at the present time, the catch is frequently enormous. Towrrd the last of the season it is al- most invariably the case that hundreds of thousands of the smaller kind of fish, which are captured in the nets with the larger and more desirable varieiies, have to be thrown away, and in order to prevent the possibility of an epidemic being oc- casioned through the offensive smell of decaying fish, those that cannot be sent to market are spread on the ground on some of the farms near the shore where they are caught and quickly ploughed under, proving to be the most desirable fertilizer. Life at the Fishing Shore. Speaking of the manner of life followed by a fisherman, a veteran in the business, in talking to a Star reporter, said: “The method of conducting operations has al- most wholly changed within the last few years. Formerly the man who hauled the seines, for example, had to work all day in the water, with his wet clothing drag- ging about him, thus exposing him to the danger of getting pneumonia or some other discase equally as dangerous in its effects. “Now, when tke seine-hauler goes on duty he is provided with a complete suit of rubber clotiing, made in the most sul stantial manner, and which is so imperv ous to moisture that the man keeps per- fectly dry. The day of living in huts has also nearly passed away, and in these timer the great majority of those following this occupation Live in the boats of their employers.” The season proper will last until June, but after that for, perhaps, six months more the fishermen will be just as busy, for the scene of their operations will be transferred to the vicinity of Virginia Beach, where most of the big Washington dealers also have extensive shores. With a few days of bright, warm, sunshiny weather, the seines will contain so many fish that the haulers will find it difficult to get them on shore, and the price of the Product will decline at the markets. ——__ A HUNDRED-DOLLAR BILL. Interesting Incidents Surrounding Its and Discovery. Tomas Roach, resident of Hillsdale, returned recently from a long absence out- side the District, and while away he had the remarkable experience related below, and which has been verified upon investi- gation by a Star reporter. Roach was passing one day along one of the streets in the southeastern part of Bal- timore, when he noticed a bright, new treasury bill, which he took to be a ten- dollar note, lying on the pavement. He hastily put the bill in his pocket, and, stop- ping at the first barber shop, asked for a shave and hair cut, something he had not enjoyed for some time. When the barber had finished his job Rouch handed him the note, at the same time remarking, “Here, give me $ change."” The barber looked at the noie, and saw that it was a one-hundred-dollar bul. lt appeared funny to him that a ragged fellow like Roach should have a one-hundred-dollar bill on his person, but he never let on, and handed Roach $9.75 as his change. Roach left with astonishing alacrity, and was soon lost in the busy thoroughfare. The barber was struck with the sudden- ness of his customer's retreat. He looked at the one-hundred-dollar note once more, and as he turned it over the suspicion flashed across his mind that he had been duped. He speeaily came to the conclusion that the note was a counterfeit, and rushed out after a police officer. He found one in an instant. The officer heard the story, glanced at the note, and he, too, made up his mind that it was green goods. He got a good description of Roach and started after him. Meanwhile, it came to the ears of a sa- loon keeper in the neighborhood that his friend the barber had been duped by a tramp. He walked in to look at the al- leged spurious note, and one glance suf- ficed to show him that it was not a coun- terfeit, but as good a one-hundred-dollar note as ever bore the treasury stamp. The saloon keeper offered the barber $10 for the note, and the latter accepted, re- marking, “You can try to work it off, but I don’t care to try it” Just then along came a well-known boat builder, who has a shop in the neighborhood. He heard the story about the barber and the tramp, and laughed. “Why,” said he, “any one can tell a good one-hundred-dollar bill on sight. I've got one here in my pocket.” He thrust his hand into his trousers’ pocket to produce the note, but found it ‘Was gone. At once the conclusion dawned upon the boat builder that the tramp who had passed the $100 on the barber had by some means gotten possession of his note. He started out to find the bill, and finally located it at the saloon keeper's. The latter refused to give up the note unless the boat builder could tell the num- ber of it, and this he could not do. After @ compromise was to the boat builder $80 and retained $30 as his reward. Boston Variety Store. |A Glassware Sale without an equal.
