-i-f- THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH,' SATURDAY, MAT 21.' 189a' SCOTTISH FISHERMEN. Those of New Haven, the East and West Coasts and Other Places DESCRIBED BY EDGAR WAKEMAN. Home Snrroundinss and Superstitions of a Peculiar Folk A LIFELONG BATTLE FOK EXISTENCE rCORKFPOSrEVCE Or THE DISPATCn.J EpixnuKGit, Scotland, May 9. I have been much anions Scottish fishermen, both in their homes ashore and in their cabins at sea; and I can never recall them save in pic ture' of vivid and colorful setting. Simul taneously all these pictures seem to blend in one. There are the red roofs, the breezy shores, the gleaming sands and the tossinjj spray of Coldingham and Xorth Berwick, around to the south of the mouth of the Forth: the snug town and harbor, the quaint old streets, the luscious fish-dinners and the screaming fishwives of Xew Haven; the almost somber silence ever brooding above the piers of Buck Haven; the rocky walls, the steely blue of the German Ocean, the awful storms and the great, dingy.cheerless fishing towns of the east coast, from Aberdeen to Thurso; the brown crags, the emerald slopings and the shadowy, moanful fissures of the Shet land and Orkney shores, with their Dutch and Xorj-e color in faces and ways; the drear, gray rocks and puffin-haunted crags of the misty Herbridcs, where the brave half starved crolter-fishcr battles all his life tor mere existence; and the low and sunny shores of the Solway where, at the very threshold of Burns' "land by the songful Nith, underneath the shadows of hoary Criflcl's rim, the roaring of the approaching Solway tides tells the border fishwives to be alert with their creels for their fisher hus bands' coping. A Kralistlc Ven Picture. On the east and west, sea-walls of sub limity, time-plowed frith, shore-reaches of barrenness and desolation. Seagulls hover and whirl and scream. Skeleton cralt bleach in storm and wind. Every thing speaks of sea-rage, wraith and wreck. On the north, lands and islands without lurets, split and serrated by the sea. Tre mendous precipices everywhere. Shadowy "hcllyers" cut the sea-walls where the tide i- eer sobbing in its ebb and flow. Here a foiling station; there a drear hamlet Yon der a gravelly beach, with fish-curers and their sodden toil. Beyond, a weird gio with a herd of drowsy seals turning their shinirg sidesto the low, Ted sun. Overall, a filmy, dreamy presence; for the sun's rays in the best of weather filter through veils of mist upon these shore-side toilers all their simple, sluggtrd lives. Through all, the cutting of shari) winds, the driving of almost barbed rain, the splash and v.virl of salty, stinging spray. These are th physical features of the picture. Threading in and through it all with a sturdy life and coloring are the fuller men and fisher wives of Scotland. I aluays see these men something after the mold" and figure of Dickens" hero, Daniel Peggotty; larger of frame may be; and in the jdace of his aspect of benignity and res olution, a look in their faces of melancholy and tcrnness, mingled with a something which lor want of better term may be called a brave and defiant dread. As l!raT as Any People. So braver folk live. Upon the decks of their smacks, schooners or fiddle-shaped "sixerms," their hardihood and daring upon the stormy German Ocean, among the mist-hid dangers of the sounds and lochs of the Hebrides, or when battling with the fierce tides of the Orkney, Shetland and I aroe islands, often reach a positive! sublimity ol heroism. Hut 1 believe a no wore restless, unhappy lot ever lived ashore. This is on account of those strange, iron framed, baib-tongued creatures who "own" them; the irrepressible, tireless, fadeless women, who, the moment they beome wives, not only assume all functions of management and command, but who store and dole out every penny of the Scottish fishers earnings to the last ''bawbee;" who transact all business; originate and assert all homeside ethics; set the pace in matters of "kirk" and religion; and whose tongues from the day of bridal to that ot burial are never silent andarecver more stinging than the lash. Generally speaking all east and north coast fisher folk fare better in their homes than those of the west coast, who chiefly compnsc the crofter-fisher class, birring the border fishermen of the southwest from Aver around to Annan along the Firth of Clvdc and on the Solnay. The latter are often cottiers, and have comfortable homes with well-kept gardens and are altogether the snuggest and happiest lot of all. ' roar Typical Classes Described. Four classes of Scottish fisher homes may be cited as most tvpical those of the Xew liaven folk, who find a never-failing market for their fish here in Edinburgh, as Xew liavcn is practically a continuation of the city, east along the south bank of the Trith of Foith; of the east coat folk from Aber deen north past Peterhead, Fraserburgh, Banff, Inverness and Wick; of the fishers of the Orkney, Shetland and Faroe Isles, and of the croltei -fishers of Skye, Lewis and Harris and of Sorth and South Uist, in the Hebrides. Here-at Ncwhavcn a long, narrow street, with the oddest of little old houses, their street lronls almost hidden with ramshackle ctaire, creels, fishm: gear, grandames and lss,ics baiting the lines, rims parallel with the Forth. Into this, from the landside, come scores 01 other short, narrow streets, in everyone of which the same mass of fishing gear, women and children are found. Here and there tiny old inns are hidden, where the finest fish dinners in Britain are terved. This principal 6trcet, called Main street, is open to the harborsidc, furnishing a lit tle t-iiace in which all the business trans actions of the Xewhavcn fohermen have been carried on for the past 400 years. The harbor itself is not large. Its each walled side is but .500 feet long, and it has but one littis entrance. Often you will find it with out a single mast silhouette between you and the horizon line of the Fifcshire hills. Again upward of a hundred craft are rock ing idly uiihin the harbor walls. Crcls Carried by Head Straps. At" these times the fish have been auc tioned oil and the fishwives, hundreds in number, are away in all haste to supply the tables of "Auld Reekie." Their creels or fish baskets contain from 70 to 80 pounds of fish These are carried on their backs, and are held in place by broad leather straps about the forehead The women have bee-i known to thus carrv 150 pounds on their backs into Edinburgh." Uncountable are the skirts they wear. These fall just below the knees and two or three ot the outer ones are gathered back over the haunches in Voluminous puff. Stout woolen stockings, stont buckled shoes and a stout peajacket.complete the raiment; eave that the married women wear a hand kerchief or "mutch" cap upon their heads; while the maiden fish-wives go bare headed. While at their labors, every article of their dress, save cap and shoes, "is of coarse, dark blue woolen stuff. When shopping at Edinburgh or visiting among themselves, their attire is of wide, gorgeous-striped linen, petticoat upon petticoat, and their irills, furbelows and jewelry are indeed startling. But on a Sundar when at least 2,000 of the r.,000 N'cwhaven fisher folk are gathered in the Free Kirk, which stands over against the fish market, their "kirk brats" or best apparel is of sober grays and rich black, decorous enough for any staid and aristocratic community. IUb Hands of All k-pt rtusy. The wives and daughteis of these crofter fishers arc, from the conditions ot their husbands' toil, less fishwives iii fact, dress and custom than those in any other fishing community of Scotland. Some of them en gage during the summer season in the east coast curing work. But all till the little croft patclTof ground; spin and "waulk" or "full" the noted handmade woolens of Skye and Harris; and in their ceildihs or gossiping parties knit, knit. knit, with the same rapidity and as ceaselessly as they wag their nlmbleGaclio tongues. The lives ot the East coast fisher folk are far less hard and sunless. Their houses are lairly good. They contain two and some times three and four rooms. As is also true of the Ncwhaven fblk, at least pne room of the house is neatly furnished, and is always a bright if humble picture or tidy handed housewifery. On tue Banffshire and Aberdeenshire coasts the- are intense ly religious, and are extraordinary dispu tants on knotty theological questions. They love dearly to barer and worry their ministers, "outside o kirk" with wise and serious arguments. Their old drinking customs are dying out Thrift, sobriety and excellent weekly newspapers are work ing a genuine revolution aniong-ihem. The herring fishine industry lias within a few years given both the Orkneys and Shet land's unusual prosperity, as their total catch of all fish is now equaling one-third of the entire catch of all Scotland. Cod and ling fishing is extensively prosecuted, many of the Shetland smacks going as far as the Faroe Islands and to Iceland. All the fish ers ot these islands are crofters, and seem to be prosperous and comfortable. Croft holdings comprise from three to ten acres of arable land, with hill pasture, called scat tald, in common. Sheep TJiat .Are Never Shorn. At each croft home will be found a few sheep the fleeces of which are never shorn, but "rued," that is pulled; great flocks of ceese; often a cow; and always the stumpy, sure-footed little "Sheltie" or Shetland pony. These with the Shetland women are the beasts of burden. The latter will step ofl nimbly with 70 or SO pounds weight of peat, kelp or fish in their "kashics" or creels. These fisher-crofters of the islands as a people are most frank, engaging and courteous, though underneath it all there is a grave canniness and reserve lar exceeding that of the mainland Scotch. Xcxt to Highland crofters all these fisher folk are the most superstitious people of Scotland. Their customs and folk-lore which have been the natural outgrowth of their vocation have been practically change less for half a thousand years; and their portents and omens are countless. In S'syeif a woman crosses the water where fishing is in progress, and among the Xcwhavcn men if the name of "Brounger" that of an old Xewhaven reprqbate who was the impersonation of bad luck and once lived among them be mentioned, fishing will be at once discontinued. Skye and Harris fishermen have been known to beat their wives dreadfully, not from any ill lecling but to propitiate and attract" the fish. Carions Commentary on the Clergy. All Scottish fishermen note carefully the first person upon whom their eyes alight in the morning. Their "luck" lor the day w ill depend on whether the person was well or ill lavored. It is a curious commentary upon the standing and influence of clergy men among them that a clergyman, a pig or a cat are the most abhorred ot all objects as fleets are sailing out of the harbor. The sicht of cither, or the discovery of the foot print of a flat-footed person in the sand, bodes all manner of ill luck; and to utter the name of a clergyman or any four-footed beast on board of "a Scotch fishing boat would render the offender subject to bodily peril, and at least destroy all hopes of suc cess on that dav. Along the west coast, however, they make better use of the dreaeed cat They secure favoring winds by burying it alive in. the sands of the seashore w'ith its head opposite the desired course of the wind. Up in the Shetlands and Orkneys fishermen wear a lucky belt containing dried offal of three different herrings:' and a perfect child's caul, which wards off evil influences and brines good fortune, hanging in the cabin of a fishing boat, is worth from 5 to 8 guineas i n any prosperous fishing village. A MINCEMEAT SETTLEMENT- Infringers Who Were Defendants In the Circuit Court Pay Damages. The suit of the American Preservers' Com pany for infrlnscment oflts patent formatt ing condensed mincemeat, now pending lit the V. S. Circuit Court in this city, and In volving a large amount of money, was yes terday reported settled. A. Leo Weil, coun sel of the company, when interrogated on the subject, said: "Ves, it is true, that Mer rell Soule, of Syracuse, our chief compete tors, have capitulated, paid us a large sum of money for a license, and given up the fight, although they had won a previous case, which is now pending on appeal in tho United States Supreme Court.

Many manntacturei&went into the business, and to piotect our interests we brought a suit naintt T C. Jenkins, Ri-ocer, of this city, a. he was selling several other makes. Some of the alleged Infringers wanted to join in the defense, hut the brunt of the fight fell on Merrell & Soule, who had pio liouMy conducted a successful resistance. Thev, however, were compelled to cive up the battle. I am advised that erocers and condensed minccmcas manufacturers all over the country have been watching this litigation, a, if we succeed, we can, if wo w lli, maintain actions agninsc evoiy grocer as well as every manufacturer who In the past has sold other goods than our manu facture. The company has no-yet deter mined upon its couise of action fui thev than to continue the prosecution of this suit asainst Jenkins, on account ot his gelling, as we allege, the goods manufactured bv par tip.s whom we claim are infringers." Mr. Weil admitted the sum paid to his company by Men oil & Soule exceeded $20,CO0, but would not btate the amount.

The dwelling of Benjamin Tan Laden, a farmer and fisherman, caught fire after his six children had been put to bed. Mr. Van Laden was absent, and the work of rescuing the children.fell upon the mother. She made three trips into the flames, car rying out two children each time. On the last trip both she and her children were on fire when they reached the open air. Mrs. Van Laden devoted her every effort to save tht lives of the little ones. In this she was rewarded with success, but paid for it with her own life. DREAMS, by Jerome K. Jerome, In TOE DISPATCH to-morrow. An Excellent Plan.
