THE WALLACE CASE.
The Superior Court viii Investigate Bad
State of Things in Gorham.

Yesterday Mrs. Emma Moody OF Cor
ham, was brought before the Municipal
court and bound over to the May term OF
the Superior court on a charge of
adultery with George Wallace. This
Wallace is the man arrested few days
ago on charge of committing felonious
assault upon Alice Moody, the thirteen
year old daughter of Mrs. Moody. The
young girl who was assaulted has been
taken to the Temporary Home in Deer
ing.
The whole affair discloses a revolving
depth of depravity. Mrs. Moody, who
was bound over yesterday and is now
in Jail awaiting the grand jury, has a
husband living, and is the mother of
four or five children. Some time ago she
left her husband, and with her children,
among whom was Alice, went to live
with Wallace.
Wallace has not borne good reputa-
tion, and several years ago was tried in
the Superior court for an oHense similar
to that for which he is now held. After
long disagreement the jury convicted
him.
The assault for which he is now held
was committed in January. The legal
proceedings were begun at the instance
of the selectmen of Gorham.
Wallace is man about forty-fve years
Of age, and mean appearing. He is lying
in Jail awaiting the grand jury also.

women's Literary Union.

On Saturday of this week at 8 p. M,
the second in the course of economic
talks or lectures, will be given at No. 10
Mellen street. Mrs. c. M. Perry of this
city will be the essayist and her subject
will be Scientific and practical cookery
from an educational point of view"
This branch of study should, and
must be introduced into our public
school system. 1t exists in the best pub
lie and private institutions now, at the
centres of progress, as witness the pub
lie schools of Boston, and such institu-
lions as the Pratt and Armour at Brook
lyn and Chicago. Portland should not
be last on the field in a matter of such
vital moment to the health, economy and
comfort of families and individuals.
Mrs. Perry is graduate of the Boston
Normal school and understands her sub
ject thoroughly. Her paper will be val
liable and practical in all details and can
not fail to profit and instruct those who
hear it.
These talks are given under the auspic-
es of the. Teachers Club, at the residence
of Mrs. George G. Frye. There will
probably be sufficient seating room for
all persons interested, though not elm
members, to attend, and this notice is
intended to be general in its character.

GUESTS OF RUTH LODGE.
Woodbine Rebekahs Spend Pleasant
Evening in Auburn.

The visit of Woodbine Rebekah Degree
Lodge of Odd Fellows to Auburn last
evening was success in every particu-
lar. The special train which left Port
land at o'clock on this excursion took
1872 members of the above lodge, which
is 50per cent of the full membership.
The Evangeline Lodge of Biddeford,
about 40 members, were also guests of

es were met ON their arrival by a COM
mittee and escorted to the City Hall,
where supper was served. The hall was
packed, and the tables loaded down
with all the good things the market af-
forded. At the banquet the lodges were
called to order by Mr.. Frank Rackleff
who, in behalf of Ruth Lodge,
welcomed the visitors with a
few appropriate remarks. and

supper was served. After this, the
members adjourned to the spacious

This is without doubt the finest team in
the United States, and the work was adj
mirably exemplified. Speechmaking
was then in order, and Mr.. Brett, Noble
Grand of Woodblne Lodge. represented
his lodge in a very happy manner. Mrs.
Mason of Biddeford responded to call
for Evangeline Lodge, ..and was heartily
applauded. She is a well known reader,
and her response was very witty and
pleasing.

NOT LEGALLY LIABLE,
But Mr.. Gilbert Promised to Take In His
Bulletin Board.

Charles w. Gilbert runs an employ
ment Office at No. 3S5 Congress street. A
number of complaints have lately been
made to City Marshal Trickey that Gil
bert's methods were not straight"
YESTERDAY afternoon the Marshal and
Mr.. Gilbert had an interview on the
subject at the marshars Office. Mr.. Gill
bert admitted that he sometimes adver-
tised for persons to fill certain occupa-
tions when he had no vacancy in any
such occupation to offer, but as an ex-
PLANTATION, said that such practice was
common in every city in the Union. He
said that when an applicant for posi-
ton came into his Office he never prom
ised him the place, but took an advance
fee from him and at the end of a certain
time, if he couldn't get him the place,
refunded half the fee. Furthermore
each applicant signed contract in ac-
cordance with this arrangement, and
Mr.. Gilbert said he had the advice of as
good lawyer as existed in Maine that
his proceedings were perfectly legal.
Marshal Trickey claimed that if Mr..
Gilbert offered to get a person place
that didn't exist, or rather that he hadn't
it in his power to offer, while his offence
was not answerable to the law, yet. it
was, to all intents and purposes, a fraud.
He called Mr.. Gilbert's attention to the
claim made by Mr.. Vincent, detective,
that Mr. Gilbert had promised him a
place as Waterman in shoe shop at
Lynn, Mass. Mr.. Vincent said that he
went to Lynn, where he was no stranger,
and found there was no such shoe shop,
and others admitted they didn't employ
watchmen from out of town. Mr.. Vim
cent had not paid any advance fee to Mr..
Gilbert to secure the place, so he
couldn't claim any damages from Mr.. Gil
bert.
Mr.. Gilbert said he didn't want to do
any business that had any faint of fraud
about it, so he should not in future, put
out any of the usual bulletins at his
door of people wanted for occupations
he had not at that time in his power to

THE SCHOOLS.

The National Educational Association
Will Not Probably Come Here,
The plan is under consideration by the
school committee of employing man
for the year to take the school census
first and after that to look up the
neglected children and see that they are
kept in school. AS matter of fact it
costs upwards of $500 to take the school
census. The committee think that for
5000 or $500 additional man could be
hired for the whole year.
The new electric clock for the High
school building has been reeeievd by Mr..

At present, it is necessary to have a
monitor ring the bells, but the clock
will assume this duty and do it to perfec-
tion. Al the end of each study period
the clock will ring the bells in all the
class rooms, also at all other times when
it is necessary that a signal should be
given to the teachers 1t isron the same
principle that clock strikes the hours,
only in this case the principal cal see
the clock and the bells will ring as often
as he desires.
The report has been published that
Superintendent Lord has received letters
intimating that the National Education
al Association would meet in Portland
the coming summer. Mr.. Lord says that
this is an error. He has not received any
such information and has not given out
any report that would warrant such a
conclusion. On the contrary, it is not
believed that the association will come
here. Superintendent Lord says he saw
Mr.. Lane, the president of the associa-
ton, in Richmond two weeks ago. He
had talk with Mr.. Lane, who finally
said that Portland would be good place
for the meetings, if adequate hotel
accommodations could be obtained
That was a serious election to Portland,
for at that season of the year, early in
July, the largest hotels would be just
opening their summer business, and
would not be inclined to make low rates
nor would they be able to house SO large
a number OF people.

He Was a Mere skeleton.

He had no appetite, and it was hard work to
make him eat enough to keep him alive. A few
weeks later we had his hip lanced, and follow
ing this five other eruptions broke out making
eight running sores in ALL We did all we could
for him, but he grew weaker every day, al
though we had three of the best physicians.
AS a last resort we were prevailed upon
by relatives who had taken Hoods Sarsa-
parilla with beneficial results to give the medi-
cine trial. We got one bottle about the first
of March, 1892, and he had taken the medicine
only few days when his appeti began to
improve. When he had taken one bottle he
could move about little with his crutches,
which he had not been able to use for the pre-
ceding three months. We continued faithfully
with Hoods Sarsaparilla, and in months he was
