course of his argument recited The

strode forward.
"I am Boston gent said the
interrupter, and l certify that no

right foot and followed up the argu-
ment with a brass cuspidor, falling.
in a subsequent clinch, on top.

A CUTTER AT WORK.

Of handling herring the scene at the local
wharf, particularly in the morning hours.
is one of interest. The fish are brought
here in vessels, some coming in under
their own pOwer-gaSoline or sail-and
others being towed In by tugs specially
chartered for the work. AS soon as the
vessels are tied up the men who count
the fish go aboard There is no guess
work as to the number, each fish is pick
ed UP and counted into big baskets hold
ing two hundred or more and are dumped
upon the wharf in front of the cutters.
Armed with sharp knife the cutter with
single slash removes the head Of the
fish, cuts 1t open along it's underSide and
cleans It. Expert cutters can cut and
clean six or eight hundred fish per hour
and have them ready for the washing
tubs.
After being cut and cleaned the fish are
thrown into tubs of water and are stirred
about by men using big paddles. They
are taken from the first tub in dip nets
and passed through a second tub OF
water, where the stirring process is re-
peated, and into third and q fourth
water they pass until not a particle of
blood or dirt is left upon them and they
are as bright and clean as when first
taken from the water.
Pass to Safthouses.
They are next taken into the salt
houses, three OF which are located upon
the 18th street wharf, and there they are
cured. II they are to be used for the
country trade nearby, and many thou
sands are sold to farmers from the sur
rounding country each season. they are
thrown upon long benches and covered
with salt. In twenty-four hours they are
"corned'' ready for the farmer. Every
morning, when the large majority of the
residents of this city are enjoying their
early morning nap, long lines of country
wagons can be seen about the wharf as
their owners purchase supplies Of herring
for home use. These are taken home by
the farmer, packed with salt, pepper.
molasses or other constituents to suit in
dividual tastes and held for use during
the winter months.
If the fish are to be used for outside
trade the process of curing them Is a
longer one. In the sailing houses are long
rows of hogsheads, each capable Of hold
ing several thousand fish. Into these
