has ever worn the badge of deputy

has the reputation of being a fair
and impartial official. He is also

Walter Smith Of Bangor, the we'll
known authority on Indian relics, has
recently returned from Pemaquid,
wheae for a period Of three weeks with
Prof. Warren K. Moorehead of Andov-
err. Mass, the famous archaeologist, he
made extensive excavations for the
purpose of finding any traces of
Morse occupancy there. there having
been found previously in the vicinity
two bronze spearheads of typical
Morse workmanship. In this attempt
they were unsuccessful, unless a
study of old unglazed pottery frag-
ments should throw some light on the
matter. A crew of eight or ten men
worked under Prof. Moorehead and
Mr.. Smith, who took in charge when
the former was away, and the money
for carrying on the operations was
raised by popular subscription, much
credit being due State Librarian Hen
ry E. Dunnack. who is much interest
ed in any thing that relates to
Names early settlement.
The marriage intentions made pub
lie at the Auburn City Clerks office
City building yesterday:
Pierre J. Simard. of Lewiston, and
Zoe NJ. Glidden, of Auburn. Arthur
Fiske Tyler, of Auburn. and Helen
Narcissa Chesley, of Auburn.
1t is known that others have been
filed since Sept. IT. but, neverthe-
less. that is the last entry made in
the book up to yesterday. Mr..
those fling intentions who ask that
they not be made public. People
are permitted by law to inspect the
book, but if the intentions are not
recorded the inspection reveals moth
ing but entries that were filed sew
eral days previous. The young lady
in charge of the Office the past few
days had two intentions yesterday
which were marked in the corner, in
pencil, Don't report" She refused
to allow them to be. inspected. When
Mr.. Bumpus has only intentions
marked as above he tells inquirers
that mo marriage intentions" have
been filed.-Lewiston Sun.
1t is to be presumed that one of
the purposes for which the law re-
quires the recording OF marriage in
tentions, is for publicity. That
seems to be made clear in Section
of Chapter 81 Of the Revised Stat
utes of Maine, which reads in part
as follows: And the book in which
such record Is made. shall be labeled
on the outside of its cover. Record
Of Intentions of marriage and shall
be kept open to public inspection in
the Office of the clerk"
That section Of the Revised Stat
utes states that Residents of the
State Intending to be joined in mar
riage shall cause their notice of
intentions to be recorded in the
Office of the clerk Of the town in
which each resides, at least five
days before certificate of such
intentions is granted" Thus
tanning such intentions should not
only be kept open for inspection. but
should contain the record of all the
intentions filed-each intention being
actually recorded in the book five
days previous to the granting of the
certificate.
City clerks who do not keep their
records up to date in accordance with
the provisions of the law and who
do not allow records of marriage in
tentiens to be inspected by news
paper reporters as well as by any
one else are remiss in their duties
