Portland. that some one had appropri-
ated his rotary pencil sharpener. To
do this the man had to borrow a
Screw-driver and take the machine
from off the window sill where it has
been for long time. 1t is gone. Mr..
Milliken knows not where. and the
genial pension agent will have a mys-
terry to clear as well as pencils to
sharpen with a penknife. or borrowed
sharpener.
The Sanford & Cape PorpOise Rail-
road Company have petitioned the
railroad commissioners for an approval
of the location of an extension and a
branch track in the towns of Kenne-
bunk and Kennebunkport.
A hearing has been ordered to be
held at the Mousam House in Kenne-
bunk at 10 A. NJ, Tuesday. April II.
Mayor George Pottle Of Lewiston,
| was at his office, Tuesday, receiving
the congratulations of his friends upon
the honor that has been conferred
upon him by his native city. Mayor
Pottle says there is one embarrassing
matter that confronts the Lewiston
people just now. and that is in regard
| 10 the police.
The law in that regard is. that one
third of the force shall be appointed
each year for a term of three years.
| Several years ago there was a deadlock
between the mayor and the city gov
| eminent and no police We're appointed
| 50 that throughout the year the special
year two-thirds of the force were APP
| pointed for term Of three years, as
Mayor Noble decided he had not the
power to. appoint. for two years. This
leaves it so that one year there are
| two-t thirds of the force whose commits
sions expire. and the next year one
third. while the next year there are
| none This is the year when two
thirds must be appointed.
Perhaps it may be interesting for the
| friends of Colonel Henry A. Wing to
| know that his term in office as the city
| marshal continues one year more. and
also that he is considered one Of the
| best city marshals the city ever pos
sessed, giving universal satisfaction.
| The ms and outs. of the corporation
business in the State have been dis
! cussed fully in the State papers in the
past year. but all have neglected to
| mention the trials of the corporation
| clerks in the Office of the secretary of
State. 1t is not all smooth sailing.
| The corporation lawyer is a man of
many different phases of character. so
far as the making out of the corpora
ton blanks is concerned. One of these
lawyers will have plenty of room and
some to spare on the ordinary blanks.
while others need extra sheets galore
upon which they are to inscribe the in
tentions of the company.
The ordinary lawyer in filing out the
| intentions of the company will, in a
few words. tell them. Thus he will
say: For the purpose of manufactur-
ing and dealing in boots, shoes and
other goods of like character also the
machinery used in connection with the
aforesaid business; and to hold real
estate and to carry on such other bust
ness as may legally come within the
power of the company"
Perhaps the next corporation will
contain 1000 words in explanation of
the intentions of the company. which
will include all the branches of BUSH
ness. One clerk says in such cases it
would be more proper and brief to say.
For the purpose of acquiring and con-
extra sheets have to be written upon
and carefully pasted into the large
volumes. into which the record is
copied.
a very neat though trying piece If
| work came from the office of the regis
ter of deeds of York county, Tuesday.
There was a long list of the intentions
of the company and the copying clerk
Of the Office in legible hand had writ
ten two lines where one is supposed to
be. 1t was trying to the eyes. though a
very pretty piece Of work, as every let
ter and word were as perfect as pos
sible. while the lines written between
the rulings We're without turn.
The eight following companies. Tues
day, filed certificates Of incorporation:
