GENEAL oGIcAL SOCIETY.
An Interesting Paper Upon the Service of
Capt. Joseph Bean.

The quarterly meeting of the Maine
Genealogical society was held in the
library of the Maine Historical society
last evening, Hon. Marquis Il. King, pre-
siding.
The librarian reports the addition
during the last quarter of 50 bound
volumes anu 72 pamphlets. The library
at this date contains 1850 volumes and
1854 pamphlets. OF the bound books re-
ceived since January 90, rs have been by
gift and rs by purchase.
The paper was by Mr.. Charles A.
Bean, on Captain Joseph Bean, Indian
interpreter. In opening, MIR. Bean
enumerated the various tribes of Indians
who occupied the limits Iof the present
State of Maine.
Captain Joseph Bean was the son of
Louis and Mary (Mills) Bean of York,
who emigrated from Scotland.
During an Indian attack on the settle
ment of York, Bean was captured and
sold as slave to the Androscogg.p tribe.
located near Lewiston, and lived there
with them for seven years ana ten
months. He was under slight restraint
and seems to have been permitted to go
about as be pleased. In 1899 he was re-
stored to freedom upon the cessation of
hostilities and returned home.
When the militia was organized in 1909
he was appointed lieutenant and inter-
prefer, and continued in the service until
1853, serving at various forts. Until ITO
he was at Fort Mary, Saoo. He was then
at Fort Casco, Falmouth until the de-
molition Of the fort. Then he was on
various duties in various places, acting
as scout, pilot and interpreter for
various parties and various expeditions.
Hs was the pilot of Col. Westbrook s
party which destroyed Fort Pasle's
settlement at Norridgewock and was
rightly considered to be one of the most
valuable men in the service
In 1875 he was ordered to Fort Rich
mond on Swans island near Richmond,
as second in command, where he re-
manned during nearly the whole of the
remainder of his life. In l742 he sue
ceeded to the command and in 174S he
was replaced by Captain VIM. Lithgow.
IN 1744 he had his salary raised and had
a grant Of 400 acres of land in Sanford.
From that time on he was occupied in
councils with the Indians. In 1853 he re-
tired from the service, returned to York,
where he lived until the fall of 1866, " hen
he died.
He seems to have been regarded by all
with whom he had dealings as a soru-
pulously honest man and was trusted
alike by English and Indians.

| tire from their present field of labor to

ed to the pleasant relations existing be-

house from pit to dome. The reception
accorded the popular composer amounted
almost to an ovation. and several encores
wore called for after each number. The
organization has gained much in artistic
strength since its last appearance in CHS
city. and the concert was the most sue
cessful in every way ever given here.
His compositions that have become so
familiar were given as encores, and
never failed to bring an enthusiastic
demonstration from the audience. Mr..
Sousa introduced several new compost
lions of his own, and some new music he
brought back from Europe with him.
Sacred Concert.

cert at Portland theatre Sunday night.
The selections will be carefully made and

Portland, April 10, 1897,
AS it now stands the indoor meet held
in Assembly hall, April 10, 'y7. Glass '97
has the greatest number of points of
points by one, but rs there is a tie in the
tug of war owing TO 1900 deciniug to
pull with '9S, '97 and '9s should pull off
before the pioDship is awarded to
either.
GRANVILLE r. LEE, Referee.
The class Of 1913 do hereby challenge
class of '97 to pull of the tie In the tug
of war on or before May 8, 1897. Unless
this challenge is accepted the meet will
fall to 9s by forfeit.
W. A. ANDERSON.
The play which the class of '97 is to
present at the annual exhibition, is in
active rehearsal, aud is rapidly being
rounded into presentabIe form. The
play itself is rather out of the line at
attempted by former classes, as it is one
that has been judged worthy OF a pre-
sentation by Joseph Jefferson as cur
tain raiser. 1t deals with the adventures
and mishaps of gentleman at a public
ball and introduces many side-compliea-
tions in an amusing light. In connection
with the play an admirable concert will
be given. Play and concert will be given
the middle of July.
