THE NEW CHINESE ARMY.
Reorganization Taking Place Under
the Influence and Training of
the Japanese.

1t has been decided by the Lien
Ping Chu, or Chiense war department,
at Felling, that for the future the new
army of China is to be known as lhs
standing army of the empire, says a
New York Sun writer.
The old Changpei banner army be-
comes the First division under Gen.
Tsao Kun, with headquarters at Pao-
tlnglu, SO miles southwest of Peking
in the province of Chilli. The former
First division becomes the Second, un-
der Gen. Chang Huaichih, headquar-
ters at Chenan, and the late Seconl
division is remembered the Fourth,
under Gen. WI Fengling, headquar-
ters al Machang. The Third division
remains unchanged, and is command
ed by Gen. Tuan Chihkuei. The for
mer Fourth becomes the Fifth. division
under Gen. Tuan Juichei, and occupies
the Imperial Hunting park south OF
Peking. The late Fifth, now Sixth, di-
vision is stationed in the province Of
Shantung, with headquarters at Tsl-
nanfu, under Gen. WI Changchun;

vision is stationed at Chentingfu,

Heron be dropped from it's roll of
membership.
Resolved, That we express our con-
viction that George D. Heron has for
feited all right to be known by the
churches of our faith and order as
minister Of the Gospel and that he is
by vote OF this council deposed from
The Christian ministry"
1t was the intention of the commit
lee of the Grinnell church to show that
DR.. Heron had no excuse for leaving
his wife save those contained in the
sophistries of his late arguments on
marriage and divorce. Eight women,
most of them wives of professors at
Grinnell college or teachers in that
institution, told the assembled church
men what the home life of Mrs. Her
ron had been during the past seven
years that she lived in Grinnell, strug-
Cling with the heart agony which
came from the growing knowledge
that her husband was becoming
estranged from her. She saw all the
bright hopes she had formed in the
days when they were college mates at

She saw the influence of Mrs. Rand
and her daughter growing stronger
week by week and still she bravely
kept up the fight and stroye 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-
tion as the reports that have been cir
culated from time to time of the prog
ress toward building up 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 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 to
the Heron residence,
Views Meet Disapproval.
A rain of disapproval of his position
has been showered upon Prof. Heron.

been the guest of ths Get Together

Prof. Heron Declares Present
Laws and Customs Neither
Sacred Nor Good.
"COMPANION'S" FORTUNE TO AID HIS CAUSE
Former CONGREGATIONAL Minister to Establish
Colony of His Believers in New Jersey
Divorces Lawful Wife for Another Won-
an-Strong Denunciation by
Rev. DIR. Hills.

Heron was pastor of a small church
in an obscure town in Minnesota. He
was called to be the assistant pastor
of the Congregational church at Bur
lington, Ia, and his ministry there
was very successful. He was in
stalled in Burlington in 1891, and
from that time his name became ma
tionally famous. In 1898 DR.. Her
ron was made professor of applied
Christianity in Iowa college (Congre-
gationaD, which was endowed for him
by Mrs. e. d. Rand, of Burlington,
whose daughter, Carrie, has since in.
herited the Rand millions, and who has
turned them over to her companion"
After seven years of service in the
college, during which time the chair of
applied Christianity in general, and
Prof. Heron in particular, We're the OBJ
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, a 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
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
the world, and took up his residence
with Miss Rand, calling her his com
panion."
The Herrons 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
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
divorce.
Rumor of Marriage.

York, prior to the death of Mrs. Rand,

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
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 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.
''I 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 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 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 $1,OOO,OOO, 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 $11000,000 which she has
given him full authority to spend in
promulgating his theories on marriage.
Possesses a Paulian Spirit.
Prof. Heron is without doubt the
most prominent Christian socialist in
America. He is of type that is
common enough in England, but his
peculiar notions of the rich man and

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 1t 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 meeting of the Get
Together club:
ut Is nonsense for these people to-
refuse to sit down to 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-
proval 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 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 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 better friend
in the world than myself"
And when the professor was ques-
toned along these lines he saIu:
"They may cruelty me at the cross,
or burn me at the stake, yet l will
make no answer to personal attacks
upon me- have made a vow and
will not break it."
Former Wife Still His Friend.
Prof. Heron is at present engaged
in the preparation of a book, in which
it is expected he will announce his
''era-making word" and in which he
will appeal to human kind to accept
his beliefs about matrimony and re-
ligion, even though his example may
not be followed. The former Mrs.
Heron says that she is still the pro-
| fessor's friend. He declares that he
has the greatest respect for her, but
says he has ceased to love her.
The news of Prof. Heron coming
into possession of S11,OO0,OOO amazed
his friends and startled church circles,
but there seems to be no room for
doubt that he really has the money,
and, what is more, that Miss Rand
is glad that he has it.

PATENT MEDICINE
 TESTIMONIALS
How Easily Obtained.
Leslie's for March Tells the Story. |.

Leslie's Monthly Magazine in the March number publishes a large article entitled. The Making of a Medicine Man, or Dosing the Public as a Busi- ness.' In that article they say many things that are of interest to the laity. One of their remarks is. "If a man were to enter into the proprietary medicine business the least of his troubles would be the securing of testimonials. They say the first thing to obtain is plan of advertising, second, the testimonials. and third. the medicine.
 We were sufficiently interested in t..is subject to send our reporter over to call on MT. E. G. Fowler, to ask his views of this article. The first ques- tion asked MT. Fowler was, Are the testimonials published for patent med icines bonafide or fictitieus?' A quick response was made. "Bonaflde when they appear above my name. Fowler don't know about the general propri- etary medicine testimonials published, but I do know that any testimonial published over my name Is real and it is genuine. I must know it is so be- cause every time I publish testimo- nial in the newspaper. advertising some one of the Rexall Remedies, which I have spent a good deal of money on. I know that many of my customers read it. Many find they have the same symptoms as the person who signed the testimonial. and they come to our store to buy the advertised article. If they are not cured they think that testimo- nial fictitious because they cannot un- derstand why 1t doesn't cure them If 1t cured a person with the same symp- toms. We guarantee these people who come this way a cure, otherwise we refund them their money
 Now we are very careful what we guarantee as 1t means a considerable loss to us when we have to refund the money, and for that reason you can readily see why we are compelled to publish true testimonials, as for exam pie. this one, sent in voluntarily, with out request on our part, for Rexall Mucu-Tone Catarrh Cure. It is strong evidence of the great value of that medicine as a tonic reconstructor at this particular season of the year"
 T have used three bottles of Rexall MucuTone and cannot praise 1t enough. I suffered so much from ca- tarrh for five years and tried many different kinds of medicines, but found no relief until tried Rexall Mucu- Tone. A young friend of mine works in a wholesale house and has suffered with loss of appetite. induced her to try Mucu-Tone and never saw such a change in any one. advise all of my friends to try 1t for I think 1t is a wonderful medicine" Mrs w. D. Young, 1894 N Summer St., Nashville Tenn.
 We are selling hundreds of bottles, yet our refunds on the guarantee of your money back if not benefited are Infinitesimally small; in fact, they amount to less than one per cent and witk such a broad guarantee you nat urally see that it is very easy to ob- tain testimonials for an article of as great merit as Rexall Mucu-Tone-
 We even put our large trial bottles at 50 cents and guarantee them to pro- duce results. Experience has taught us the great value of this medicine"
