THE NEW JERUSALEM.
Annual Meeting of the Maine Association.


The Maine Association holds its annual
session in the Temple of the New Jeru
salem on New High street, this Friday,
Saturday and Sunday, October 7th, 9Th
and 9th. They meet as guests of the Port.
land Society. Although the membership
in the state is small in comparison with
other chIrches,it exerts a powerful infiu-
ence for good. Their motto is: All
religion relates to life and the life of re-
ligion is to do good"
This church appeals to the reasoning
faculties of the mind rather than to the
emotional part of ones nature, hence is
of slower growth in numbers than most
churches. Their literature is literally
distributed throughout the state and in
this country and is widely read.
The programme as arranged is as fol-
lows:
Friday, 7.3O p. m.-Pastors' conference,
with papers by Rev. Messrs. Stone, Dole,
Schafer and Worcester.
Saturday at 9 a. m. Meeting of the
executive. committee.
10 .. m.-Opening of the association
and business St ssion.

THE LEAGUE AGREES.
VIII Protect One Another During the
Coming Season.

The National Polo association COM
prising clubs in Hartford. Springfield,
Providence, Bridgeport, New Britain,
Waterbury. Meridian and New Haven held
a meeting Wednesday at Heubelin's hotel,
Hartford. President Burnlam of the
Maine league was invited to be present
and consider with the national league the
advisability of an agreement similar to
that which existed between this and the
old national league of last season. The
proposition for agreement is based upon
the plan of the national agreement In
base ball. 1t will benefit all concerned
in large degree.
The national league in the allotment
of its playing material gave out the fol-
lowing list:
Hartford-J. Mooney. Woodke, Cotter,
Everett, Cusic.
New Haven-Bone,9 Spencer, Leyden,
Meriden-Warnar, Tarrant, Null Smith,
Mallory.
Briogeport-Menard, Turner, or Hough-
ton, Williams, Malone or Furbush, Ker-
win or John Allen.

Jean, Doherty and goal tender to be
selected.
AS n result of the negotiations the ma
tional league appointed committee of
three consisting of Jennings of Hartford,
Parsons of New Britain and Doe of Wat
erbury, which will meet a similar COM
mittee to be appointed within few days
from the Maine league and adjust the
claims to players. 1t will be seen that
several players given in the national
league are taken from Maine ranks. The
Mains league willy submit similar list
and the differences which appear will
be adjusted by this committee, and the
national agreement will start from that
basis.

DETECTIVE GIVES 1T UP.

Biddeford, October 6.-Detective Sa-
vile of Boston, who has been working ct
North Saco on the Ivory +. Boothby muir
der mystery, has practically finished his
work there, admitting that the case battles
him. 1t is believed the coroner's jury
will return verdict of murder at the
hands of persons unknown at their ses-
sion next Saturday. The detective left
Saco today to follow up what may prove
to be a clue to the case. II not successful
in this, it is probable he will do no more
work on the case.

DISCHARGED AND RE-ARREsTED.
Charles d. Record Acquitted BY Order
of the Court.

Before He Left the Court Room He Was
Again Arrested on New Warrant and
Admitted to Bai1-Elden w. Hanks of
Augusta Was Also Admitted to Bail
and VIII Be Sentenced in December.
In the United States court yesterday
the case of EIden W. Hanks ofmsAugusta,
charged with embezzling money orders
from the United States mails. and the
case Of Charles D. Record of Readfeld,
who was charged with sending obscene
books through the mails was considered.
In the case of Hanks of Augusta, the
plea of nolo contendere was entered and
on motion of A. M. Goddard, attorney
for Hanks, the man was bound over I'M
til Dec gambler first in the sum of $4,000, at
which time he will be sentenced. COL
Charles B Morton of Augusta and Mrs.
Hanks, the mother of the man, furnished
BAIL The wife of the man was also pres
emit in the court.
The case of Charles d. Record then
came up for hearing on one indictment
Originally Record was held on two in
dictments, e.for sending. obscene books
through the mails, and the other for
mailing circulars which were claimed to
be advertising articles intended for I'M
moral purposes. On the latter count
George Il. Bird, Esq, counsel for the de-
Tense, filed a demurrer which was up
held by the court and this Indictment
was quashed.
On the first indictment the defendant
admitted mailing certain books, ad-
dressed to Rufus Joyce of Saco.
The defense contended that these books
were not obscene and could not be con
strued as obscene under the statute. The
whole case of the governments hinged up
on this question. Judge Webb examined
the books and decided that they were not
obscene, but were scientific and MEDICAL
in their character. He instructed the
jury to bring in a verdict of not guilty
The foreman of the jury consulted with
the panel and announced that the jury
desired to leave the court room and dis.
ouss the matter. Judge Webb told the
jury that if thoy brought in a verdict OF
guilty he would set 1T aside as he did not
consider the books in question obscene.
The jury retired and after Is minutes OF
consultation returned a verdict of not
guilty.
Mr.. Bird then moved that his client be
discharged. The district attorney an
nounced that he was drawing up another
complaint against Record based on the
charge of sending the above mentioned
circular through the mails and asked the
court not to discharge the respondent I'M
Til the warrant was drawn up.
Judge Webb said he could not hold the
man and told the clerk to discharge him
from custody. Mr.. Bird INFORMED ohe
| court that Record would be IN the oour'
room when the officers were ready se
