Victim of Angina Pectoris.

Mr. Markham E. Staples, more familiar
" called Max Staples general agent

pired. The cause of death was angina

number of years. He for long time

is based on the fast that some time ago
his wife obtained a divorce on the ground
of desertion No claim was put in for ali
mony, because the defendant, as the
judges decree set forth, had provided for
his wife and the four children The
amount set aside for their benefit is vari-
ously stated at sums ranging from $4,000
to 100000. Professor Herron's reported
marriage or intention to marry a young
and beautiful heiress, who is said to have
assisted him financially, has aggravated
the charge.
The Iowa Congregationalist association
intends to put Professor Heron on trial
on charges of heresy and immortality. He
freely admits his guilt Of the former of
these offenses and expresses his surprise
that his trial has not occurred sooner
since he has been expounding his doc
trines for number of years. His inti-
mate friend. Franklin H. Wentworth
who is associated with him in the move
ment which they call "the new social
apostolate," says that he is very much as
tonished that Professor Heron has not
been fired" out of the church long ago
He has been guilty of heresy. There
isn't any doubt of it." says Professor
Herron's friend.
This remarkable man. who is an elo-
quent and forceful speaker and writer
first attracted general public notice while

publishing unusual articles in several re-

to their practice the printers of The
Times stated that they always used the
form gray Messrs. Spottiswoode and
Messrs. Cloves always used grey other
eminent printing firms had no fixed rule.
Many correspondents said that they had
used the two forms with difference Of
meaning or application, the distinction
most generally recognized being that
grey denotes a more delicate or light
er tint than gray Others considered the
difference to be that gray is warmer
color or that it has a mixture of red and
brown. There seems to be nearly abso-
lutte unanimity as to the spelling Of the
Scots Greys, "a pair Of greys.'"

RADICAL REFORMER.
PROFESSOR HERON, WHO BELIEVES
MANY THINGS NEED MENDlNG.
He Is the Leading Christian Socialist
Who Is Charged Not Only With
Heresy, but With Immorality-Some
of His Views.

kAe lS tne LeaCfng CnTisI1an SOcA6llsa
Who Is Charged Not Only With
Heresy, but with Immorality-Some
of His Views.
To his friends a modern Savonarola,
preaching against the abuses of the time
and urging reform with fiery zeal, regard
less of personal consequences; to his en-
emies a 'crank" and a dangerous one,
bent on subverting religious and social
order-such is Professor George ID. Her
ron.
Professor Herron's present controversy
with the leaders of his church-he is
nominally egationalist-is not his
first public appearance. He has long been
known as the most prominent Christian
socialist of America, and his differences
with the authorities of Iowa college, in
which he held the chair of applied Chris
tianity, were well aired about two years
ago. The present trouble is far more Sc
rious, since the charges against Professor
Heron now involve grave reflections on
his personal character.
Professor Heron first attracted atten-
ton some years ago by his unusual views
concerning the possession of wealth. To
him it was literally true that it is easier
for camel to pass through a needles eye
than for a rich man to enter the kingdom
Of heaven. In this he shares in the views
of other social reformers, but Professor
Heron goes step further. He carries
his animosity not alone against organized
wealth, but also against organized reli-
gion. He says, Established religions are
monopolies as great as the Standard Oil
trust" He declares that church is sim
ply a place where hired clergyman gives
a performance and that the real spirit Of
Christianity is being lost.
Says Professor Heron: "The so called
Christian church has fought its way by
brute force and authority, contrary to the
spirit of individual freedom taught by
Christ, and that which was atheism to
Jesus has been orthodoxy to the church.
The church has always put to death the
man who dared stand for individual free
dom. Christianity does not even know
or believe the gospel of Jesus. Socialism
will reject Christianity and give a real
faith which the infdel church has denied.
By rejecting the church it will lberate
the real spirit of Jesus, which will defy
mankind. In this age of capitalism Goa
seems to be the only thing left to corner
and even in God some classes of persons
seem to think they have greater, inter-
est than other people. The church needs
to be saved from its own doctrine of sal
yation.'
In his sociological views Professor Her
ron is not quite as original as in his the

What Protection Has Cost the
United States.

The real effect of the duties on iron i'm
posed by the United States during ten
years from 1880 to 1859 was to protect the
metal workers of Europe in their control
of all other markets, IL the supply of
machinery, tools, engines, and even in
part meeting the demand of the United
States, at the same time building up the
great fortunes of American iron and steel
makers The increase in the price of
crude iron to the metal users of the
United States, as compared to the price
charged to the consumers of British iron,
was 81 per ton. on an average consump-
tion of iron in the United States of 49,
600 900 tons vera. The cost of protec-
ton to iron in the ten years was
$70O, 900, COO a bounty more than equal 70
the value Of all the iron furnaces, rolling
mills and steel works in the United States

Miss Burgess was greatly surprised, it
fairly took her breath away. But they
were not done yet though, for they all
marched out to the wedding march from
Lohengrihs stopping to offer their con-
gratulato1& as they went.
Under a sunny sky amid youthful spir-
its just as sunny. the Seniors planted
their tree. each class member throwing
in a handful of dirt, while Miss Florence
Henderson, the class poet, read the fol-
lowing verses
We plant our tree of knowledge here,
To grow in rain and sun;
With hopes that it will flourish
From the Glass of Nineteen-one.
The Senior girls all wore crimson ana
white gingham sun bonnets, crimson and
white being their class colors. After the
planting of the tree they all returned to
the Institute, where banquet was serv-
ed by the Juniors in honor of the Seniors
and Miss Burgess.
Miss Burgess has become engaged to Mr..
Louis A Goodenough. City Superintend-
ent of Paterson Public Schools, formerly
of this city, and she has resigned in view
of her approaching marriage. Her resig-
nation will take effect Monday.
Miss Frances Spalding Belcher, of Far
mington, Maine, has been chosen to sue
ceed Miss Burgess, and will be duly in
stalled in the school on Monday. She Is
a woman of rare culture and refinement,
especially adapted to fill the vacancy left
by the resignation of Miss Burgess.
Miss Belcher is graduate of the Far
mfngton Normal School, graduate OF
Vassar, where she took the A b. de-
gree; a graduate of Radcliffe, again with
the A. B. degree, and also of Columbia
University, where she received the Mas
ter's degree.
She has had four years of actual ex-
perience in teaching. Two years were
spent in private and two in public
school, her last position being in the High
School of Stamford, Conn, from which
she resigned to come to Hasbrouck In
stitute. So that while the Hasbrouck
faculty feel sorry to lose Miss Burgess,
they are to be congratulated upon find
ing one so capable to fill her place.
Among the studies she will teach are
literature and Latin.

illogical and ecclesiastical, but he Is
equally forcible. 1t seems to Professor
Heron that 'sthe time is ripe, and rotten
ripe, for change" and he does not hesi-
tate to say so. "It is fundamentally i'm
moral" according to him, that private
individuals should own the arterial sys-
tenn of the nation. One class produces
without consuming, and the other con-
escape the hideous, awful, blasphemous
fact that one class lives on the other. No
language is intense and foroeful enough
to rouse public sentiment for the revolu-
lion which will wipe out the inequalities
