FISHERS OF GALILEE.
Quaint Village on Jersey Coast
Where Only Men DzoeH.
BY NJ. w. Mount.

Something of brine and Drawn; OF rugged
bnsweep of storm and tide: of fearless rush of
winds and gentleness of waters undsturbed, Is
mixed in the constitution of the fisher folk of
GaliIee and Holly Beach.
The boom of the artillery of the ocean rever-
berates from Cape May to Sandy Hook and
every fisherman upon the long two hundred
miles of coast answers this call to service
Like saucy maid the beach draws in its white
petticoat Of sand away from the encroachlnS
waves, or dauntIessIy thrusts long fingers of
Bcorn defiantly out into the waters, so that the
Jersey coast line is indented with capricious
irregularity.
With dazzling smile of one and purling
laughter of the other they friends to-day:
shreds of stormtorn islands, submerged
marshes and sand buried forests bear testl-
mony to yesterdays of feud and cruelty.
On shifting sands, in this scene of and
wiles. dwell the fisher folk. To-day their
brown arms GE=w the nets freighted with
xlistenng prey; tomorrow angry sea may
toss them out of its spume, face down, upon
the beach
Only when great shoreward swells stretch
fmpassable barriers between sea and sand do
the fisher folk stand idle ashore. ut is all
right beyond the swells,' they say, but how
to get there
OF the ocean is upraised to smite it?
''Drown?' they repeat. "Oh, yes! Many a
man goes down One morning lost four.
But somebody has got to follow this business
Along the Jersey coast some five thousand
men draw their living from the sea. Several
hundreds of these gathered in the fishing
villages of Galee and Holly Beach-the one
some eight miles from Long Branch, the other
not far from Cape May. Visitors to that more
southerly resort are wont to gather at Holly
Beach on a Sunday morning and have the fish
men take them out to their fishing banks, ten
miles out at sea.
Holly Beach is wondrcus beautiful, but the
fishing village American and modern
eir beside the quaint Old World atmosphere Of
Galilee. Here sons of seafaring Norsemen dwell
In quaint cottages huddled together, as for pro-
lection against stress and storm, on thread of
green that bars the brim of Shrewsbury River
from the ocean, calling to it across the way.
New-York tribune., 1908-09-27

a well filled seine taxes the brawniest seven
pairs of arms that ever bent to oars. When
the east grows crimson and gold the haul Is on
The sea is brilliant and the tide high upon
sunlit strands when fishing boats ride over the
breaking waves to shore about o'clock in the
morning. There is the spring Of 1.-the bodies
into the surf, a grip OF strong hands upon the
gunwales, a rush, altogether, through white
foam beyond reach of outsucking breakers, and
the boats are grounded upon the beach Far
out at sea, like black silhouettes against the
turquoise, gold powdered sky, sway the boats
of bluefshers, working with hook and line to
capture that marine prize, the bluefsh. which
is wont to despise the trap, as holding too
gregarious a company for exclusive a fish
as himself. Neither will he tolerate more than
two hooks to line, and usually fights shy OF
more than one. This means the carrying OF
a bluefsh will do. Only in the spring, when the
bIuefish swims in droves and is gayly Indifferent
to danger, can a fisherman drop his laborious
method of enticement and take to "squidding,"
with three or more hooks line. Not until
II 10 o'clock in the morning, when noon
heat lies upon the water. may bluefishers turn
the noses of their boats shoreward and often
land against an outrushng tide.
There are no petticoats at Galilee. On
Sunday no women folk appear in fresh-stitched
lies encircled with outspread seines a-drying In
New-York tribune., 1908-09-27
LAUNCHING THE LIFEBoAT AT GALiLEE.

The largest house in Galilee, something over
two stories In height and of generous dimen-
sions is fain to lean away from beating ocean
winds toward the calmer country beyond the
river.
Some of the fshermen's cottages are embow-
cred in shrubbery and gay with bloom; here and
there small tree has struggled against unfa-
voring gales to attain growth beftting tree
and become bent riverward in the tussle. Little
streets begin at angles the outskirts of the
| village, where every grass plot is covered with
a great seine spread to dry, and run into by
paths at a common centre near the ice houses
and railroad shipping station.
Suuattfng upon that narrow fiat of green, the
clustering ice houses first attract the eye to
Galilee. So strange they are, those circular huts
with high pointed roofs like a Hottentots
kraal done in Scandinavian architecture. Grass
grows rank around some of the huts, and others
are made beautiful with clambering vines
Upon the river side of each is an opening under
the roof to which runs a board incline upon sim
pie spiles trolley the incline aids the
horse that pulls up to the door under the caves
blocks of ice in the season when ice may be cut
from the Shrewsbury and fish shy of fisher
mans wies
A few yards in front of the group of circular
houses extends freight station upon little
side track of the railroad. Here the fish are
shipped in barrels to markets in great cities
Near at hand, upon a bypath behind the ice
houses, stands a commodiOus barrelling house1n
which fish are daily packed in ice for shipment
To dress and pack their catch is the work of the
fishermen as soon as boats emptied of their
finnv loads. When one learns that good haul
represents over a hundred barrels of fish in a
day. it is easy to see than the fishermen of Cali
lee have no time to spare. Occasionally two
hauls are made in day, but for the most part,
before the stars have begun to fade in the
morning sky and the gray laps drOwsily
upon a silent shingle fishing boats feel their
way out of the dark curtain of land mists into
the solemn, luminous dusk of the ocean when
the watch is 3 o'clock of the night. None but
a fishermans eye or, perhaps, a fsherman's in
stinct sights the faint gray clusters Of taper
ing poles limned against the glistenng sea
where lie the traps" some two miles offshore
Stout wire ropes and heavy anchors hold the
poles in position 20 support great seines, the
making of which would occupy ten years Of
time were fishermen of to-day dependent upon
their own fingers for the netting of one
Trapped in their own feeding ground, swarms
of cleaning scales fash dlmfy in the family

GUESTS GET RETURNS
Landlord Glennon to Get
Election Returns For
His Patrons.

Proprietor Glennon of the Majestic
hotel is planning an innovation for eIc-
tion night. He is to have a private
wire cut into the hotel over which will
be received the election returns.
AS the result will not begin to be
known until eleven or twelve O'Clock
in the evening he will have the re-
turns displayed in the dinning room OF
the hotel where his patrons and others
can order a meal and then watch the
returns while they are eating.
He will reserve tables from now on
so that any one who wants to be sure
of having a good place where the re-
turns can beheard can go there. 1t is
expected that a great many women will
accompany their husbands to the hotel
and hear the returns in this manner
Mr.. Glennon's enterprise is greatly
appreciated by his guests and it is ex-
pected that before election night every
one of the tables in the dinning room
will have been reserved.

REPUBLICANS RAISING POOL

The betting in the election is be-
coming very active. There seems to
be plenty Of money on both sides and
1t is expected that before the election
there will in the neighborhood of $50.
600 bet in Lake county on the election.
The betting is of course even and
both sides seem confident of winning.
In Whiting George Gerard has raised
a pool of $1,000 which is to be bet on
Watson and it is rumored that there
will be between $4,000 and $4,000
raised among the Hammond republicans
to bet on the state ticket.
There is lots of republican money to
be had on the county's going for Taft
and also that the county ticket, with
possibly two exceptions, will be elected
The best informed publicans do not
hesitate to bet on Mr. Watson and to
get a bet that Indiana will go repub-
lican and will deliver its electoral vote
for Taft Is like finding so much money
There are a few Hammond men who
claim to have an unlimited amount OF
Indianapolis money to bet on Marshal
but so far there has been but little
of it actually in evidence 1t is be
lieved that the breweries are stalking
certain democrats with sufficient fund.

moral effect it will have.
1t is a noticeable fact, however, tha
| none of the brewery money will be be

like bluff to take up some of the loos,

JOHN POPE IS DEAD
Unfortunate Derelict Dies
This Afternoon In
Hospital.
John Pope is no more.

The aged derelict died at st. Mar
garet's hospital, where he was taken
through the charity of the good sis
ters of st. Frances, who though it is
a rule of the hospital not to accept
delirium tremen patients, took in the
aged man after DR.. H. E. Sharrer had
intereeded for him as he lay dying yes
terday afternoon on his cot in the po-
lice station. The charitable police did
all they could for Pope, but his last
attack had come.
John Pope has been a familiar char
acter on the streets of Hammond for
years, and is one of the last familiar
characters of the old regime to go.
He was an exceptionally bright man
in his earlier years, and was we'll con-
nected, but the love of whiskey proved
his bane and the manner of his death
was not unexpected. He was 65 years
old. The funeral arrangements have
not been made.
