BOSTON'S NEW CULT.
The Church OF the Higher Light and

(Boston Letter)

The Church OF the Higher Light and
Rev. Helen Van Anderson, Its Pastor.
Boston Lottery
In the ordination of the Rev. Helen
Van Anderson to the ministry and the
organization of the society of which
she is now the pastor, Boston has added
to its already large number of churches
a new one, the church Of the Higher
Life. 1t is a heterodox church, and
its motto is Love is the fulfilling Of the
law"
Mrs. ID. II. Kirby, of the Procopeia
club, is deeply interested in the work
of the church of the Higher Life. This
club is a newcomer among the trans
cendental cults of which Boston seems
to be the center land Mrs. Kirby is a
woman venerated for the occult quail
ties which those who dabble in the
mysterious believe her to possess. The
name of the club, when first sprung on
the public, precipitated a sudden rush
for dictionaries and lexicons. It is
Greek. 1t means advancement or prog
ress, especially in things obscure. Any
thing just a yard or two beyond the
frontier Of natural knowledge finds its
votaries in Boston. Helen Van Ander-
son has been lecturing in Boston for
the past two years. Her themes were
spiritualistic, but she was careful not
to overstep the line Of demarcation be-
tween the orthodox and the heterodox.
This righteousness saved her from the
fate of many who fail through the enc
mics they make. She is an entertain
ing Speaker.
Her ordination was unique, in that
she received the right hand of fellow

MRS. LIE GRAND CANNON.
She has eight sons and daughters and
their wealth combined exceeds $780,

immense fortune, which is to go some
day to her youngest and favorite child,
George Vanderbilt.
Mrs. Elliott f. Shepard, Mrs. Wander.
bits eldest daughter, has been widow
for three years. She lives in one corner
Of the great Vanderbilt mansion on 5th
avenue, extending from 51st to SD
street
Mrs. Shepard has more than $40 ,000,.
900 and the best portion Of her income
is spent in the splendid charities origi-
mated and operated by the Vanderbilt
family. Her especial pride is the Mar
garet Louise home, which she has given
to the self-sustaining women and girls
Of the country.
Mrs. Harry lie Grand Cannon is the
youngest of all the society widows. She
is only % and is as fair to look upon as
when, five years ago, she came from the
west and won the heart of the popular
young cotillon leader. Mrs. Cannon
was Miss Elizabeth Thompson and she
inherited a good many millions from
the Brush estate Of electric light fame.
Just few blocks up 9Th avenue from
Mrs. Cannon's artistic home lives the
handsomest widow in New York So
ciety, ME-. Samuel Colgate, who was
Cora Smith Of New Orleans. Mrs. Col
gate is tall, slender and graceful, with
an exquisitely modelled head and face
good to look upon.
She has not long passed 30 and has
IS, 900 900 to add to the fortune of her
beautiful face.
Mrs. Ward McAllister will continue
to make her home in this busy city but
few will benefit by her presence, for
hers Is one of the faces we never see.
She has long been an invalid and never
accompanied Mr.. McAllister into the
social life which was so much part Of
his very existence. Miss Louise Meal
lister took her mothers place and en-
tertained for her father and was always
his companion and chum.
Mrs. William Astor is one of the rich
est widows in America. She has just
moved into the magnificent palace her
son built on upper 9Th avenue. Mrs.

months; palace at Newport for July

a good time in their own peculiar way
Mrs. Kingdom seems to find her great
est happiness in the royal good time

to her two sons, Brockie and Wrinkle
Mrs. Drexel is a superb musician, with
three daughters who are adopts on the
harp and piano. The musicals Mrs
Drexel gives in her splendid home on
Madison avenue are world famous.
Two of the most interesting widows
in New York are Mrs. Ulysses Grant
wife of the great northern leader, and
Mrs. Jefferson Davis, wife of the presi'
dent of the confederate states. Mrs
Grant owns a magnificent home on the
fashionable west side, near Riverside
park. The halls, parlors and Libraries
are filed with reminders of the dis.
tinguished general. There are battle
pictures hung with tattered old flags
busts in bronze and marble and wonder
full gifts from all sorts and conditions
of people.
Mrs. Davis lives with her daughter,
Miss Winnie Davis, at one of the fash
ionable hotels on 9Th avenue. Here she
receives with old-fashioned southern
hospitality the flower Of northern and
southern chivalry. 1t seems strange
that these two women, whom the war
left in such widely different spheres,
one the wife Of the conquerer, the other
the wife of the conquered, should come
after long years from the west and the
south to live in New York. Strangest
Of all is the fact that they are warm
personal friends and spend much OF
their time together.
