They were shipped to Boston.
Toney the Indian guide and hunter

mon at Kempt last week. Indian Guide
Dimock of Queens county pulled out

A monster lobster was caught off
Yarmouth last week. 1t was shipped
to Boston. 1t is a male, measuring
three feet in length and with a width
from tip to tip of spread claws of
nearly seven feet. 1t weighed %
pounds. The legs were larger round
than a grown mans thumb. When it
was got into the dory the huge crusta-
cean made a desperate struggle and at
once seized two Holsters with its claws
and bit them in two. 1t IS believed to
be the largest lobster ever captured.

other rubbish by the city. l think The
Spy's movement a most commendaDle
one, and will do all in my power to
assist in the establishment of such d.
system.
I'm the little city of Lynn a system
is in operation, which gives excellent
results. In that city the work is done
by the city tenants of different build
ings who are required to set out their
ash and rubbish cans at such periods
as collections are made, and in case Of
not doing so, are liable to a small fine.
The ordinary individual has little
idea of the danger incurred from this
source, by fire. Only a day or two ago
1 went out to inspect building where
in case of fire, 25 or so lives would be
placed in jeopardy, and found the ashes
for the entire block were dumped into
a wooden bin together with paper and
all sorts of rubbish. The conditions can
be readily appreciated
Il have advocated some such mu-
nicipa1 system for the past ten years,
for the sake of prevention of fire alone.
l agree with Chief Vaughan that the
matter should be governed by some sort
of ordinance compelling citizens to live
up to their part of the contract, and
in event of failure to comply with the
rule, would advocate a fine sufficiently
large to serve as a reminder that ref
use matter must be kept cleaned out
of buildings"
ExMayor Henry A. Marsh believes
a municipal service for gathering and
disposing of garbage, refuse and ashes
should be adopted. In an interview with
a Spy man on the subject, he said that
he had not studied the methods and
cost of such service in other cities of
the commonwealth sufficiently to per-
nit himself to favor it's adop-
ton in Worcester Immediately
The general benefits resulting from a
municipal service impressed him favo-
rably and the success of such service
in other cities clearly demonstrated its
practicability in Worcester.
The benefits in the way of increased
cleanliness of streets and property and
as an antidote to i'll health. he consid-
cred of sufficient Importance to demand
the attention of the city. He agreed
that the city could attend to all the
work at a much smaller cost than now
paid in the aggregate for unsatisfactory
work. The cost could easily be returned
to the city treasury by taxes, the in
dividual tax being so small that it
would hardly be noticed by the tax
payer, as the increase would be almost
nominal.
Ex-Mayor E. B. Stoddard said the
idea of the city assuming the care of
removal of ashes and garbage was
probably a good one. but he has been
too busy to give the subject much
thought The only information ne has
received on the subject was from the
columns of The Spy, in which, he be-
lieved some good points favorable to
the adoption of the plan, were set
forth.

cede Marsh a start of one foot. The Sport

lenge states that Marsh will jump for ESQ
