MRS. HOWE MILL
GET A DIVORCE
She Is from Philadelphia and Hei
Husband Was Everett T. Howe,
of This City.

One of the opinions handed down
In the superior court yesterday wa
by Judge George B. Orlady in the case
Of Mrs. Minnie A. Howe, of Philadcl-
phia, against Everett r. Howe. of this
city. The court of Philadelphia refused
to grant the divorce on the ground that
her case depended almost entirely up
on her own evidence. The decision of
the Philadelphia court is reversed and
Mrs. Howe will get her divorce. The
Judge said:
ave are of the opinion the wife was
fully justified in leaving the home Of
her husband on account of his cons
manding her to do so and so and his
brutalities toward her and that they
amounted to wilful and malicious de-
sertion, which has continued for the
statutory period"
The divorce was asked on the ground
of unfaithfulness, cruelty and deser-
tion and was not opposed. Mrs. Howe
testified that her husband beat and
threatened TO shoot her. Her father
testified that Howe came TO him and
said:
II don't want her; she cannot live
with me; she can go to h: she can
never come back to ME and I will not
support her"

NOT AN EGG THROWN
Professor Heron and His Friends
Were Apprehensive.
SOCIETY AGAIN ANATHEMATIZED
A Big Crowd Listens at brooklyn
Basis of Charges Against
Heron.


New York, April 29-Under the intro
duction of Bolton Hall, George ID. Heron,
from whom so many people have fled dur
ing the past week, lectured in Brooklyn
last evening at the Park theater. The
audience was big one.
Two policemen stood at the entrance TO
the theater and scrutinized everybody who
entered, and there were detectives about
the doors. A change had been made also
In the tneater. Last week only the chair
man, one of Mr.. Herrons assistants sat
upon the stage. Last evening the stage
was full of chairs, which were occupied
by men and women who were invited to sit
there. One of the lecturers admirers and
a regular attendant in the audience OBJ
served that the managers had evidently
called upon some of Herron's friends TO
sit around him to stave off the possible
throwing of eggs.
One OF the lecturers assistants, in call
ing for the collection, seemed TO have
some such apprehension, for he bespoke
for Mr.. Heron a ''Guiet hearing" Here
he raised his eyes to the galleries. max
ing his request upon the ground that Mr..
Heron, having spoken every night in the
week between here and Boston, had come
back physically very weak. When the lee
turer came to speak, however, his voice
sounded like the same old voice of week
ago. No eggs were thrown. There was
not even the slight interruption of last
Sunday.
Mr. Heron found it very easy to say
things. Some of the things he said are
these:
The greatest makers Of socialism to-
day are the monopolists." This was ap-
plauded.
Man is constantly making the universe
over"
we must stop talking of nature as of
something outside of man.
There is no established order in nature
beyond the human will. The old fates
and furies and fears of the unknown were
transferred to theology by the priests,

"DEGRADING THE HOME.
ftev. Mr.. Henderson Holds Heron
Up as an ExampIe.


Chicago, April 29-In a sermon on
degrading the Home" the Rev. John
Henderson in Armour Mission Yesterday
referred at some length to Professor Her
ron. After saying that the moral tone
OF society never rises above that of the
homes of the people, and speaking of some
tendencies that threaten the home, he con-
tinued:
The worst evils that threaten the home
however, come from within. A hasty, unwise
and stupid marriage has in it discord. di-
vorce and everything that can disgrace the
nome. Marriages are frequently governed by
no higher considerations than those of social
standing or wealth. Then the contempt
IN which the contract is often held, and the
ease with which it's obligations are laid
aside, are fatal to the dignity and true in
terests of home life
Recently we had a striking illustration of
this In the conduct of Professor Heron.
While posing as reformer denouncing the
cnurch and state, and characterizing them
as atheistical parasites, he was giving a
shameless exhibition of brutal neglect and
desertbon of the wife and children whom he
was bound to protect Trying to extract the
mote from the eye of society, his own moral
life did not rise to the level of the decent
recognition of first principles. 1t is mat
ter for rejoicing that such prophet in spite
of his powers of defamation, is not allowed
to escape public denunciation.

ported deal between the Union Pacific and
the North Western roads. He declined to
discuss these topics in any form.
Referring to the Burlington DEAL carried
through by James j. Hill, as an illus
tration of the point that the apprecia-
tton of securities was not in excess of
their true value, Mr.. Mitchell said:
It is evident that the St. Paul was offered
the same proposition that accepted by the
Burlington, guarantee of per cent on the
property in perpetuity. The fact that the
offer was declined ought to be conclusive
proof that the price of st. Paul securities is
not too high.
1t is a wonderful condition but it seems to
be warranted by the general increase of
business everywhere. The west has done as
well as the east in this rise of securities, for
while the east became alarmed and bought
and sold several times, the west held on and
realized to the full extent on its holdings

Vittum, pastor of the Grinnell Congrega-
tional. church. the church that will prefer
charges against DR.. Heron. has finally
secured copies of the papers in the Heron
divorce case. These are the papers that
disappeared from the clerks Office at
Algona, and difficulty was experienced in
obtaining them. Just where the papers
have been is still a mystery and they
probably would not have been produced
mad not pressure been brought. The
charges alleged in the petition will be
used as the basis of charges against Her
ron at the church trial tomorrow. The
gist OF tn epetition which contains the
charges and which is now made public for
the first time is as follows:
Inc pIalntlH, Mary Everhard Heron, re-
speetfully shows to the court that she is the
wife of George D. Heron, that they were
married Jan 8, 1885, at Ripon, Wis, that
they lived together as husband and wife from
the time OF their marriage until about five
years ago, when the defendant, without
cause or excuse, deserted plaintif, and re-
FUSED to longer live and cohabit with her
as ner husband, and that such absence has
continued from then until now.
Ihat notwithstanding the plaintiff always
conducted herself towards the defendant as

standlng she discharged to the fullest meas
ure ner duties and obligations to him. the
oe1endant, during the last two years espe-
claIIy, mas been guilty of such cruel and in
human treatment Of the plaintiff as to seri-
ously impair her health and to endanger her
life, wherefore the plaintiff prays the court
10 grant her a divorce. that she may be
given possession of the children and charged
with their support maintenance and educa-
ton.
HERON, in his answer admits the mar
rlage and birth of the children, but denies
all other allegations, the point being that
wnlle he admits the charges he will make
no deIense. The decree finds that the al
legations made in the petition are true

BRlGAND'S HAVEN
America the Dumping Ground for
Italian Paupers and Criminals.

New York April 29.-Italy is making
of the United States a dumping ground
for her criminals and paupers, says the
Herald. This has been forcibly brought
TO the attention of the local authorities
by the arrival in this port of three Italian
brigands. The merchants upon whom they
had preyed made up a purse with which
the three were sent to this country, land
ing with money enough in their pockets
to pass unquestioned. The three desper-
ADDE'S are now in Kansas City under
strict police surveillance.
Commissioner Murphy is convinced that
this is no isolated case. He says:
Italian criminals are pouring into New York
on every ship that brings immigrants. The
popular belief that our laws bar out crimi-
nails and paupers is mistake. The United
States is made dumping ground for the cast
offs from Italian prisons and pauperhouses.
