M. Whites Simplicity.
M. Witte displayed none of those charac-
teristics which Americans expect from the
great men of foreign countries. There was
nothing ostentatious either in his garb or in
his actions. He wore black cutaway
coat, light trousers and black derby hat
that would keep fitting to the back of his
half-bald head. In his right hand he al
ways carried strong walking stick. topped
with horn. When anything engaged him he
generally dropped the walking stick and
his derby hat to the ground simultaneously.

pearance Of being covered with velvet or

But the extreme beauty of the place IS
further set off not only by the hundreds OF
white-winged birds, but by the further
adornment of a most beautiful flower Near
the edges of the marsh, where the Mares
tail grows less thickly, and in other parts
where there are wider spaces between the
green rods, are spikes of flowers such as

from the shelter of some forcing-house of

rose-colored; when open they are of the
most delicate white, tinted with pale
mauve. In addition, each flower is fringed
with what looks like lace or filigree The
flower is the bog-bean, which with the
Equisetum and the bed of moss below. form
practically the sole vegetation. The gulls
make their nests in patches of broken-down
mares-tail rods. and when visiting their
young hover and fiutter over the green ex-

1t was fortunate thing for the colored
man that Capt Berry came to the city this
week in search of fishermen. Bill had
been sent down on the farm because of his
continued intemr evance, and the judge knew
him so well that he gave him long sem

The men work with a rapldity which
shows that they are paid 80 much hum

1t is a happy lot OF men, q mixture Of col
ors as well as ages. Herring roe are put
to one side by some Of the cleaners, who
earn considerable extra money in this way,
besides furnishing food for their families
without the expenditure of money. After
the herring are cut they are transferred to
tubs and given thorough washing before
they are taken into the big packing houses
and put in brine. When the salt has pen
etrated the fish sufficiently to insure against
decay they are packed in barrels or kits
and are ready to be sold for the winter
trade. Many barrels of Potomac fish find
their way to the best fish markets in the
United States and Europe, as they are
generally rated higher than fish from other
waters. While Shad and herring are COM
ing to the river front in such large numbers
other fish, such as rock, perch, catfish and
cells, are also coming in larger quantities
than they did earlier in the season. They
do not claim so much attention, however,
as only the shad and herring are packed.
The heavy shipments of fish have caused
trouble in the oyster market. Oysters are
not in demand at all, and the owners OF
pungies who brought bivalves here early
this week were only hoping they would be
able to get their money back. They were
perfectly satisfied If they did not actually
lose cash on their stock From now until
the end of the shad and herring season
there will not be much time for resting for
those who are engaged In business in
"Fishtown," but they will then have a
resting spell until the opening of the wa

Pennsylvania depot to take the men away
on late train, and the manner in which
"Bilr' Lancaster asked if they were not
going to get Just one drink before the
train started softened the heart of the cap
tain and he could not deny his quartet that
pleasure.
I've had Bill with me before he said,
as he was about to leave the city, and m
satisfied he will remain with me until the
last shad and herring have passed Wind
mill point this season."
Capt. Berry is one of the most prominent
members of the bar in Stafford county,
where he was prosecuting attorney at one
time and prides himself upon his ability
to pick the right kind of men for his work.
The absence of Bill Lancaster from
"F'ishtown' has not caused any decrease in
the business there this season. On the
street in front of the fish houses every
morning there is line of wagons waiting
for their supplies of marine products and
the cry fresh fish, is to be heard along
the line There is a saying that the work
ers in "Fishtown" get saucy or sassy,
as the fishermen put it, just as soon as the
herring begin to run, and the average
worker wants full sway about the wharf.
The sudden change in the fish market a
few days ago started things about the fish
wharf Friday morning shad were selling
at as much as ninety cents each and some
