urged, it remains true that, at what
ever sacrifice and remuneration, the
man should have been true to the four
children he has brought into the world.
These babies are weak, physically,
and Heron owed his strength to
them; they are ignorant and he owed
his wisdom to them; they are poor,
and the father owed his earnings and
the right to a good name to them.
zone day this man to the
mother of these children that he has
ceased to love her and loved another
woman, and that money enough at five
per cent. would be provided for her
to rear these children for him. She
reluctantly asks for the divorce, for
desertion, which he does not contest.
"The whole transaction is mon
s%trous.'
Divorce of the Herrons. 4
According to the story of the di-
vorce proceedings, Mrs. Heron was
paid 100000 by the representatives Of
Miss Rand, or her friends, to give up
her husband. However this may be,
Mrs. Heron simply charged her
spouse with desertion, and now, know
ing that when he left her it was be-
cause of his love for another woman,
has this to say of him, her statement
having been made after DR.. Hills re-
fused to attend a meeting Of the Get
Together club:
at is nonsense for these people to-
! refuse to sit down to a dinner in DR..
Herron's honor. If they approve his
views they should have no objection
to dining with him. One fact in his
private life should have no effect on
the value of his views. DR.. Hills sew
eral months ago expressed hearty ap-
prevail of a speech of DR.. Herron's,
and DR.. Herron's views have not
changed since then. If it was right
to approve Dr.. Heron then, it is
right now. Those Grinnell people are
actuated not so much by sympathy
with me as they are by a desire to
down DR.. Heron politically.
For eight years Miss Rand was as
intimate in our house as If she were
the sister of myself or DR.. Heron
AS to a prospective marriage between
DR.. Heron and Miss Rand, that is
their affair. If the marriage takes
place the public can draw its own
conclusions, and if it does not, why
the same is true. Neither DR.. Her
ron nor Miss Rand has a better friend
in the world than myself"
, And when the professor was ques
toned along these lines he salu:
"They may cruelty me at the cross
or burn me at the stake, yet l vii
make no answer to personal attacks
upon me. l have made a vow ant
l will not break it"

week by week and still she bravely
kept up the fight and strove to win
her husband back to her, confident, as
one of the women testified, that her
love was so strong for him that in the
end it would triumph.
Not Pleased with Colony.
Nothing has ever stirred the quiet
village of Metuchen to such indigna-
ton as the reports that have been cir
culated from time to time of the prog
ress toward building up a socialistic
colony on the Heron property.
The people of Metuchen, whose
characteristics have been modesty and
retirement, have been unanimous in
letting Prof. Heron and his friends
severely alone. This policy Of ION
intercourse has given the comings and
goings of Prof. Heron and the Rands
an air of mystery.
The character of the improvements
which have been made at such great
cost on the farms purchased with the
late Mrs. Rand's money have every
indication of a purpose to provide for
an extensive colony. The nucleus of
this colony is already on the place. A
number of sympathizers with Prof.
Herron's beliefs live in the different
cottages at Elmwood farm.
Regular services are held in a kind
! of open air temple, which has been
built at considerable expense next to
the Heron residence.
Views Meet Disapproval.
A rain of disapproval of his position
has been showered upon Prof. Heron.
Several months ago he was to have
been the guest of the Get Together
club in New York, and among the in
vited guests were Rev. DR.. Newell
Dwight Hills, pastor Of Plymouth
church, Brooklyn; Rossiter w. Ray,
mond, Rev. DR.. S. D. Mcconnell, rec
tor of Holy Trinity; DR.. Josiah Strong
and others. DR.. Hills refused to at
tend and voiced his sentiments in the
following language:

Chicago.-Prof. George d. Heron, for
several years professor of applied Chris
tianity at Grinnell college, the Iowa
Congregational institution, is at present
engaged in waging warfare upon the
present system of marriage and upon
,~present-day religion. He is writing 4
book setting forth his peculiar beliefs
and in the near future intends to estab-
lish a colony of believers in his doctrine
on his farm at Metuchen, N. j., and to
send forth his propaganda throughout
the world.
Doctrine of Prof. Heron.
Prof. Heron first startled the ortho-
dox Congregationalists, in which de-
nomination he was a minister, by the
following, statements:
Il do not believe that the present mar
riage system is sacred or good.
Il believe that union is made by love
alone and that it is terminable at the
termination of love.
Love marries us and, as long as our
love lasts, love will keep us together.
81 think it wrong to obey a law that
would keep us together when love has
ended.
1--WE no longer need a religion. Our
movement supplies all the spiritual
needs of a religion. Human life must
become its own religion and human la
Dor must become its own ritual and
scripture.
"The modern world is practically
without religion. Fires on old affairs are
dying out. Religious authority has been
banished. All notions of right and
wrong are being sc~rutinized. We all
await the era word of infinite daring
1t was not long after this that Prof,
Heron told his wife that he had ceased
to love her and persuaded her to seek a
divorce. He then took Miss Carrie
Rand, one of his followers and possessol
of a fortune of about 81, 900, 900, as his
companion"
The recent death of the mother Of
Miss Rand, also an ardent disciple of the
professor, has left her another fortune
estimated at $11. 600, 900 which she has
given him full authority to spend il
promulgating his theories on marriage
Possesses a Paulian Spirit.
Prof. Heron is without doubt thu
most prominent Christian socialist il
America. He is of a type that Il

New Enemy Of the Cranberry.

1t does seem that eternal vigilance is
the price Of fruit in these latter days when
it should be plentiful as we'll as profitable.
There is a new menace now to the cranberry
crop, it seems, to which is given the name
Of the cranberry flea The complaint
comes from South Jersey, and the yermin
are described as ''nearly as large as house
fly and jet black in color and they prey
upon the young shoots and buds.
Henry Weatherby, Of Alillville, the
owner Of large bogs near Hunters Mill
reports heavy loss. A month ago on one
patch he had assurance Of a thousand boxes;
to-day the feas have entirely destroyed the
bog, as far as this years production is con-
cerned. The failure of the crops in other
States makes the dealers look to Jersey for
their supply.
We should like to learn the prospects
within Monmouth, Ocean and Burlington
counties. There were reports Of blight
from frost and scald some time ago, and on
the other hand we hear that many bogs are
very promising. What about this new pest,
however?

A Murderer SuPFendeFs and asks to be
Hanaed.

Stung night and day by a conscience that
knew no rest Pearl varble, a farm hand in
the employ Of John Rambo Of Greenwich
township gave himself into the hands Of
Sheriff Jones last Friday. Yarble admitted
that he killed James Jeffries, comrade, at
Gate City, Scott County, Virginia on Janu-
airy 19 last
Varble, said Rambo. came to his farm last
February aud asked for work which was
given him. He was good farm hand and
bright and worked hard At times he
seemed melancholy and sometimes at night
he would cry out as if in agony. At las
the nervous strain upon the man was too
much and last Friday his employer was
astonished when Varble said to him:
ssAIr. Rambo this thing has gone too far +;
am murder and want to be given up to
be hanged. The man killed has been be-
fore my eyes every minute since commit
ted the crime, and I want to be put in jail. =
Rarnbo at first did not believe.the mans
story but as he persisted Rambo decided to
go with him to see Sheriff Jones and find
out if the story was true.
Sheriff Jones at once wired to Virginia
and was told that the story was true and to
hold the man as there was reward upon
his head.
Varble, upon telling his story, said that
on January 10 last be had COTTON in a
quarrel over game Of cards with James
Jefferies in barn at Gate City. Virginia,
and picking up club knocked down his
opponent and was terrified when he learned
the man was dead. He fled at once to New
jersey and covered his trail so well that no
trace of him had been found and after wan
dering awhile came to the home Of John
Rambo and asked for employment Since
the murder, said yarble, = have not known
a minute peace OF mind and only hard
work prevented me from going crazy. As
it was came near giving myself up before
