An influence tending to the estab.
lishment of the institution under dis
cussion was that many looked upon
Harvard as too liberal, not sufficient
ly orthodox. Stern Cotton Mather,
son OF one-time president of Har.
ward, favored the rival institution,
and he persuaded the Connecticut
agent At London to try to win the in
terest in it of wealthy English patrons.
Elihu Yale, man Of large wealth and
noted for his gifts to educational and
religious institutions, befriended the
new school. He sent over books and
consignment of East India mer-
chandise-it was In India he made his
fortune-and with the money obtained
college building was erected. At the
FIRST commencement the grateful trus-
tees christened the school in honor Of
Eihu Yale.
At the time of the gift Yale resided
in England; but he was born in this
country; one good authority gives his

Jewels match costumes as we do not
remember even in our day. If one wears
a thin white gown over green silk, the
jewelry should harmonic with the lin
ing. A very pretty idea this. Quite
lot of amber is seen, and beads Of real
amber are very beautiful; they are love-
ly with all-white, with certain rich
green that the fall days have brought
forth, and, of course, harmonious with
the browns. A dark-eyed girl sat
across from us the other day in the su-
burban train, and we could not tell
which we gazed at more admiringly, her
brilliant orbs or her string of perfect
amber beads, big as goodsized marbles.
Perhaps the amber emphasized ths
depth of her eyes, anyway we thought
her most artfully costumed.
" Speaking of color and fall days, we
would mention a beautiful wrap exhib-
tied in an exclusive little shop, shop
that enjoys 1.-The very best trade" 1t
was voluminous long wrap of rich
est, deepest wire-red broadcloth. A
broad band of velvet of the same shade
bordered the bottom and the fronts, CIV
ing richness and depth to the satin

trimming was heavy loops of cord. If
here were not elegant simplicity, SIM
pie sumptuousness. we have never
seen it.
Another late wrap on display was a
separate coat of graceful Empire style.
It was of tan broadcloth, the collar O:
black satin. Worn with dusky black
beaver this would be a very fashionable
costume, avoiding the too-apparent pic
turesqueness of being combined with a
large black velvet hat And beavers
and felts are to rival the velvet this win

exclusive style. A hat that is favored
for the mid-season wear of the present

black velvet. This might be worn the
| season through for certain occasions,
| though IN unwise choice for general
wear.
For the wine-red cloak we would sug-
gest a beaver hat adorned with plumes
of the. same shade 1t seems too rich
and wonderful a color to tighten with

\ SEVERAL TO CHOOSE FROM.

BY the sleeve you can gauge the fash

though the skillful woman is able to re-

The cape sleeve is not exactly new,
but the one shown in the sketch has the
virtue of being in good style and of be-
ing fashioned of two materials. A neat
sleeve is the one giving the outline of
the arm, but notice it is by no means
what would be called tight-titting. Per-
haps the most desirable model pre-
sented is the one with the long cuff and
double puffs; this one helping to bring
out the points now considered to make
up the good figure, breadth Of shoulder
and. tapering waist. The one-pun
sleeve is a pattern that is 70 be very
popular, and mayhap the puff shorter

the most careful dressers, those that
study advance styles. The mutton-leg
will be in evidence this winter, perhaps
a triae smaller than last year: Care
should be taken with this sleeve that
the under part does not bag or draw the
whole down into q shapeless bag, as, un-
fortunately, was the case with the NUT
ton-leg Of season back.
Coming to sleeves for evening wear,
we select the very prettiest and most

| sleeve that is really short, stopping
! above the elbow. To some arms this may
be trying-the very angular and the too
large but the addition of band and
bow of black velvet ribbon should make
it less difficult. There is no better
friend than black velvet. anyway, the
one sure thing that can be worn, less
| ening defects rather than accentuating
them. And again we call attention to
the touch of black which is to be a fea-
ture Of the winter styles. either velvet

sleeve is some simple turned-over cuf1

dressing, tailored stocks for the tailored
waist as a rule. For the lingerie blouse,
the best style is a stock of self material
trimmed to match the waist.
Yesterday we saw very fetching
shirt-waist suit for young girl. It was
made of black and white shepherds
plaid and trimmed sparingly with q
frill Of black silk alternating with one
of bright red. A long rain coat matched
the suit; the hat was a beautiful soft
gray felt absolutely untrimmed, tricorne
in shape. It made very attractive
girlish costume.
There is really nothing gives wom-
an more comfort than tae possession OF
a frock strictly utilitarian, one that is Of
good enough material to, stand the
toughest wear, one that is of good
enough make to appear we'll under this
strain. We saw such a one recently and
were almost tempted to instant pur-
chase, in spite Of the fact that the FASH
ion folk right and left are insisting this
is the day of smooth cloths, of plain
cclors. The one appealing so strongl--
was q check Of unobtrusive blue and a
warm gray-if there ever is such a
thing as q warm tone of gray. There
was not q particle Of nonsense about

After seven years of service in the
ee1ge. during which time the chair of
asnied Christianity In general, and
Prof. Heron in particular, were the oh.
jects Of constant and bitter attack,
the professor sent in his resignation.
He did this only after Mrs. Rand had
agreed that the $4,000 with which
she had endowed the special chair
should not be taken away from the
college.
Couple Becomes Companions.
Miss Rand became the professors
companion under peculiar circum-
stances. Her mother, widow with
unlimited means. became member OF
the professors cult after she heard
him declare that he did not believe
that the present marriage system is
sacred or good. She encouraged her
I'own daughter in this belief, with the
result that Prof. Herron's home was
broken up, he deserted his wife and
four children which he brought into
tho world. and took up his residence
with Miss Rand, calling her his com
parion."
The Hecrons and the 'Rands were
fast friends. Mrs. Heron knew and
loved Carrie Rand. who has sup
planted her in the affections of her
husband. and the young woman was
a frequent visitor at the Heron
home. hence the shock to Mrs. Heron
when upon returning from a European
trip the professor announced to her
that he had ceased to love her, and
invited her to institute proceedings for
a divorce.
Ru1nor of Marriage.
1t is said of the pair that in New
York, prior to the death of Mrs. Rand,
and in her apartments. Prof Heron
and Miss Rand signified their inten-
tons OF becoming companions" in
this manner Taking the young wom-
an by the hand, the professor said:
II take Carrie Rand to be my com.
panion."
The young woman said:
II take George D. Heron to be my
companion
But, notwithstanding the fact that
they were to be companions it does
not appear that either was wholly sat:

partnership" for after the words had
been spoken q minister was called in

Chicago.-Prof. George D. Heron, for
several years professor of applied Chris
tianity at sGrinnell 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 =
book setting forth his peculiar beliefs
and in the near future intends to estab-
lish 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 minister. by the
following statements:
Il do'not believe that the present mar
riage system is sacred OF good.
Il believe that union is made by love
alone and that it is terminable at the
termination Of love.
Love n,arries us and. as long as our
love lasts. love will keep us together
Il think it wrong to obey law that
would keep us together when love has
ended.
I'VE 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 it's own ritual and
scripture.
The modern world is practically
without religion. Fires On old affairs are
dying out. Religious authority has been
hanished All notions OF right and
wrong are being scrutinized. 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 possessor
of a fortune OF about 81 600. 900. as his
companion
The recent death CT the mother ox
Miss Rand. also an ardent disciple of the

Possesses a Paulian Spirit.
Prof. Heron is without doubt the
most prominent Christian socialist in
America. He is OF q type that is
common enough in England. but his
peculiar notions CT the rich man and

The winter through we probably shall
have the lingerie waist in all it's thin

seem compromise, worn in conjunc-

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 good name to them.

mother of. these children that he has

Divorce Of the Herrons.
According to the story of the d.
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 he:

having been made after DR.. Hills re.

1T is nonsense for these people to-
! refuse to sit down to a dinner in DR..

views they should have no objection
to dining with him. One fact ia his
private life should have no effect on

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 q socialistic
colony on the Heron property.
The people of Metuchen, whose
characteristics have been mo6esty and
retirement, have been unanimous in
letting Prof. Heron and his friends
severely alone. This policy of non
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 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 tc
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

During the first century of Yale's
history it may be stated that the chief
end of the college was to train young
Inen for the ministry and the state.
When Timothy Dwight became presi.

and during his rule, 1795-1S17, tho
scope Of the college was greatly broad

new buildings erected, plans made for
the organization of professional
schools under distinct faculties. In
President Dwight's day the revenues
OF Yale and the attendance were
greatly increased.
Other names that should be touched
on in this brief review of the upbuild-
ing of the institution are those of
President Woolsey, Noah Porter and
Timothy Dwight the second. Each
added much to Yale's growth. The
last named entered upon his work at
a moment ripe for change, and proved
the man to take advantage of the OPP
portunity.
Yale has stood for conservatism in
general, but not for narrow bigotry.
A very considerable part of its origi.

palians as well as Congregationalists,
