LONG LIVE THE JORDANS /!
They Are the Big Clan Of This
IT County.
THE CLANS OF SMITH, DYER AND
81 JONES ARE RIVALS.

Cape Elizabeth Is the Stronghold of the
Jordans, Also of the Dyers-The Clan
of Jones Pitch Their Big Tent in Deer

Where the Smiths Are the Fellows.
One of the most valuable books for
Cumberland county that has been pub
lished for long time is the General Di-
rectory of the towns in the county, with
business directory of Portland added.
The work is intended to contain the
name, post Office address and occupation
OF every man in Cumberland county in
the cities and towns outside of Port
land
The value of such work is obvious at.
once. 1t is also interesting from the
point of view of the genealogist. 1T
shows the family names in this region,
and makes interesting reading for the
old resident What is the predominant
clan Of Cumberland? This book solves
the problem. The Smiths and Jones
find their historic supremacy disputed,
as the warriors Of the clan of Jordan file
by in gallant array. If Portland is left
out of the calculation, the Jordans dor
inmate the county. There are other
large families, of course. There is the
Scarboro clan of Libby, that musters 63
sturdy men in that ancient town, and
many others in Standish, Westbrook,
etc. There are the Soules of Freeport,
the Alexanders and Merrimans of Harp
swell, the Chaplins of Naples, the Har-
mons Of Standish, etc. But to the Jor-
dams alone belongs the proud distinction
of being as the sands of the sea. Cape
Elizabeth is their citadel, and there are
but four towns in the whole county
where they do not have outposts. The
Smiths come next to the Jordans, and
then comes the clan of Dyer, long rivals
of the Jordans for the supremacy of
Cape Elizabeth. The clan of Jones is
comparatively feeble in this county,
Deering being its stronghold.
The distribution of the clans is as fol-
lows:

ATTORNEY GENERAL ELLIS in response
to an inquiry from the Republican
state central committee, writes an opin-
ion to the effect that the special sessions
OF the boards of supervisors to divide
the counties having more than one rep
resentative district are not legal
necessity. They can be held if desirable
but where divisions have already been
made and are satisfactory, they can be
ratified at the October session: but il
no action is taken the former division
will be valid and the secretary of state
will issue notices based upon that view.
This will, Of course not debar special
session which will undoubtedly be held
when the political complexion of a
county has changed since the former
division was made.

The Lansing correspondent of the
Detroit Free Press has it from reliable
sources that Secretary OF State Blacker
will not come before the Democratic
state convention, as o candidate for
nomination. Since accepting the ap-
pointment at the hands of Gov. Winans
he has learned that there is large
amount Of work connected with the
Office, and having extensive business
interests which require his entire
attention, Mr.. Blacker has concluded
not to seek nomination. He is said to
have taken very decided stand on this
point, and the entreatics of his many
warm friends have failed to shake his
determination. He did not seek the
appointment and lie has consequently
the most valid reasons for declining a
nomination.

A Pretty Surprise.

A beautifully illustrated and charm
ing bound edition of Longfellow's
"Evangeline," the most popular long
poem ever published by an American
author. and one Of the most famous
poems 1t the Language, just published,
is pretty surprise for book-lovers. 1t
is in large type, numerous and excellent
illustrations, very fine and heavy paper,
gilt edges, remarkably handsome cloth
binding, with gilt title and ornaments.
No illustrated edition has ever before
been published at less cost than $3.50,
and that is about what you might
"guess" the price OF this to be, but it
isn't-it sells for only 10 cents! plus 6
cents for postage, il by mail. This
covers only about the actual cost of
manufacture by the 100000, the
publishers object being, not profit,
but to show the book-loving millions
what he can do. His pubIica tions are
not sold by dealers. but only direct:
catalogue, over 100 pages, literary
curiosity in its way, is sent for 2-cent
stamp. Every home in the land ought
to have copy OF this Evangeline, so
charmingly beautiful. as poem. as a
collection OF artis ic illustrations. and
as product of the book-making art.

its delegates for him, and we hear that
