Maine Historical Society.

The meeting of the Maine Historical So
ciety in Portland, Jan. 25th, was devoted to
memorial services to the late Senator Brad
bury. Hon. James ". Baxter, the president
of the society, presided and paid brief
tribute to the deceased a sketch of his
life was read by Rev. H. S. Burrage, d. d.
Following the sketch remarks of eulogis-
tic character were made by Hon. George f,
Talbot, who studied law with Mr. Bradbury.
Rev. Asa Dalton, D. d., a personal friend
and relative, and Hon. Daniel f. Emery, a
lifelong friend.
Among the historical documents, etc, re-
ceived were the following from Joseph Will
Hanson of Belfast:
present to the society COPY of the diary
OF Colonel John Storer of Wells, who par
tlclpated in the celebrated expedition against
Louisburg, in 1745.
This diary appeared about half a century
ago IN "The Journal a Maine newspaper,
which was probably the Lewiston Falls
journal. 1t does not seem to have been
published elsewhere, and is unmentioned in
any account or photography of the subject.
1t was evidently unknown to the late Judge
Bourne, whose elaborate history of Wells
and kennebunk gives sketch of the au-
thor.
A letter from Sir William Pepperell to
Colonel Noble, written in 1759 a few months
before the death Of the former, accompanied
the diary. 1t would be interesting to know
if the originals of these documents exist.
JOSEPH WILLIAMSON
Belfast, Jan. 10, 1901.
Researches in the English Archives for
materials concerning the Revolutionary His
tory of Maine have discovered four letters
written by Capt. Henry Mowat, the des-
troyer of Falmouth. They relate to the oc-
cupation of Penobscot, in 1779 and were
found among the manuscripts OF the Royal
Institution, and among "Captain's Letters"
preserved in the British Admiralty. l now
present to the Society copies recently re-
ceived by me from London.
These letters show that the aggressive act
of Mowat four years before had not dimin-
ished the confidence reposed in him by Sir
Henry Clinton and others in high authority.
They indicate that the selection of Penob-
scot, or Bagaduce, as a military post was due
to his recommendation and influence. They
also show the correct orthography of his
name. JOSEPH WILLIAMSON.

He Married 5000 Couples.

For more than twenty years John
Hause, of Jeffersonville, Ind, has been
connected with the business of mar
rying eloping couples from Kentucky
and Illinois. an industry Of which he
is practically the creator. Long before
he was elected squire with power
to tie matrimonial knots and collect
wedding fees, he was a runner" for
another justice. He met all incoming
trains and steamboats,, and was said
never to make a mistake in picking
out a couple which was looking for a
bargain in the matrimonial line.
Finally, nine years ago, he became
justice Of the peace, and since that
tiIhe he has performed more than 5000
marriages. 1t is said that his income
from wedding fees is more than $4,000
year. Now Squire" Hause and the
industry he has built are threatened
with extinction by Attorney General
Taylor, Of the State, who is said to
have found that the marriage laws of
the State have been yiolated.-.Chicago

1t was BalZac who discovered that
the woman of thirty is more fascin-
ating than the girl of twenty. Now
the Lady's Pictorial puts the zenith Of
feminine charm decade later, de-
claring that the apple of discord is due
to the woman of forty. 1t is an inter-
esting profession of faith and one
wonders whether the general accept
ance Of it by mankind has anything
to do with that increasing tendency
to defer marriage till late in life which
modern philosophers have often no.
ticed and sometimes deplored. If the
woman Of forty is really the most
charming woman it is only natural
that bachelors should wish to remain
bachelors until they are fit helpmates
for her. There is, however, one re-
Election that should give them pause.
However much more charming than
the girl of twenty the woman of for
ty may be, there remains strong
probability that she may not keep her
charms so long. That fact, also should
certainly be borne in mind by Coelebs
