called upon Miss Summers. After
the usual preliminary bushes on
the part of the lady, the CONVERSE

"Can you spell 'phantasma-

Mr.. Porter ratified it off with
out blinking.
You'll do" approved the lady,
with a heart-sigh. IF l draw

Methodist Church at Dorchester, Mass.
Practically Destroyed by Fire.

Boston, Jan. 2.-Starting from an over
heated furnace, fire practically destroyed
the Dorchester Methodist Episcopal
church, formerly the Wesley Memorial
church, in the West Roxbury section
early today. the loss reaching $25, 600 The
parsonage and chapel adjoining were also
badly damaged. The church., a hand
some edifice of stone and wood, was
burned out, leaving only the walls re-
naming, and those may have to be TORI
down. Insurance of $4,000 was carried
on the church.
Some of the church property, including
a part of the furniture and silverware
was saved. although the pastor, Rev
Paul Smith, lost considerable household
effects. Within a few minutes after the
discovery of the blaze the fire spread
with such rapidity that second alarm
was sounded and soon afterwards a third
alarm followed. After more than ar
hours hard work the progress of the fire
was checked.

County Attorney Stetson had only
partly concluded his opening when the
noon recess was taken, and the scene
of the alleged crime was visited by
the Jurors and court officials. He
made no reference to the result of the
medical examination up to the noon
adjournment.
This is an unusual murder case. as
most all Sagadahoc county murder
cases are declared Attorney Stet-
son. IN most cases some outward mark
or visible sign as to how the deceased
met death is found. The State is not
held, however, to such point and the
law does not compel the State repre-
sentatives to show such marks.
He said the State will show that
the child met death by violent means
at the hands of the prisoner at the
bar; that it will be shown that on
Oct. 20 Mrs. Keefe> and her child yere
seen in the vicinity of the mill pond
and that she was seen returning alone.
The greater part of the afternoon
was devoted to a visit to the scene OF
the alleged crime by the jury. On their
return several witnesses We're called
whose testimony placed Mrs. Keefe in
the vicinity on the day of the child's
death 1t is expected that the medical
experts will be called the first thing
in the morning and that all of the
evidence, both for the State and the
defence will be in, before night.

RAISING SOFT SHELL CRABS.
A Maryland Town Produces go Per
Cent. of American Product

There may be persons who have
never heard of Crisfeld, and who do
not know that it is the greatest mar
ket in the world for soft shell crabs.
Some hotels in New York get their
supplies of the delicious crustaceans
direct from there. and they have been
shipped as far as Seattle.
Crisfield is in Maryland, down on
the lower part of the eastern shore.
1t is not a big place, but they do
send out good things to eat from
there-not only the soft shell crab,
but the diamond back terrapin, the
Tangier oyster, which the gourmets
of Baltimore think is to be elassed
among the most delicious of the spe-
cies, and white shad, to which those
same gourmets hold that no shad is
equal. And so on. With which In
PRODUCTION, enter l.. r. Carson.
Mr.. Carson was at the Imperial
yesterday He lives in Crisfield, is in
business there and has made a study
of the crab scientifically and CONNER
cially.
"Crisfeld,e said Mr.. Carson, pro
duces 80 per cent. of all the soft crabs
consumed in this country. They are
caught within radius of 10 miles
of the town. The old part of Crisfield
was built on oyster shells, but of re-
cent years the town has expanded.
1t was only about IL years ago that
the discovery that the soft crab
could be popularized started q boom
and the values of property in the last
six years have trebled.
s.Tn the waters about Deals Tan
gier and Smiths islands the soft
crabs are caught in two ways. One
is employed by the 'scrapers,' who
drag an instrument like an oyster
dredge in the water to ~ feet deep,
from batteau or canoe. The other
method is employed by the METERS,
