"JOurnalism" at Oxford.

| Considerable feeling has been dis.
played by some of the junior members
of Christ Church, Oxford with regard
to an article of an Objectionable nature
which appeared in the last issue of the
Isis" publication issued during term
by and for undergraduates. Shortly
before midnight on Sunday the writer
of the article-a Christ Church man
was "ducked'' in the fountain pond in
Tom Quad, and ON Monday afternoon
the Oxford editor of the publica tion
March Vaughan of Exeter College, re-
ceived an anonymous letter, which in
formed him that steps had been taken
by members of "the House" ITO make
the author of the article regret his fool
iSh action, and that although his paper
had justly been described as only read
by 'Freshers' and 'Toshers,' it was
in contemplation to take steps also
against him. THE Dean of Christ
Church." continued the anonymous
writer, who signed himself "a Member
of the House. lis justly loved and ad-
mired in his college, and any attempt
by an outsider such as yourself to make
capital out of purely private matters is
extremely fmpertinent. Your only
course, which should be plain to your
self without telling, is to make ample
apology next week"
This letter was soon followed UP by
action. On Monday evening as Mr..
Vaughan was leaving his lodgings, In
Merton Hall street, at about O'Clock,
to take part in a debating society's
discussion, a number of the junior
members of Christ Church arrived at
the door and asked to see him. Almost
immediately, 1T is stated, his sitting
room was crowded with a body of de-
termined young men, and he was in
formed that an apology from him was
necessary. Mr.. Vaughan intimated
that SO far as he was concerned he
would apologize for any reference to
Mrs. Paget that was complained of in
the article, although he insisted that he
was in NO way responsible for it. A
great uproar followed, and it was de-
cided that Mr.. Vaughan must be taken
forthwith to Christ Church. He was
accordingly driven thtther In carria ge
which was in readiness at the door.
Upon his arrival he was taken into the
common room, where a large number
of undergraduates had assembled, evil
IDENTIFY awaiting his appearance, A
sort Of mock trial was then gone
through, and from the statements of
these present 1t appears that Mr..
Vaughan made a speech, in which he
defended his personal action in the
matter A suggestion that the duck
ing" process should be resorted to again
met with general approval, but, as IT
appeared that Mr.. Vaughan was In a
delicate state of health, this course was
not carried out. The draft of an apOl-
ogy was prepared and Mr.. Vaughan
said he thought it might fairly be in
serted in the portion of the publication
for which he was responsible AS a
move was being made across Peck
water Quad copy of the Isis was
produced, a torch was placed in Mr..
Vaug.han's hands, and he was request
ed to set a light to 1T; but the paper
was set on fire by some one else. Cheers
were given outside the Deanery for the
Dean and Mrs. Paget, and then Mr..
Vaughan was suffered to depart with

unofficial trial. The distinguished sub
Ject is Bishop J. H. Vincent of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. The prose-
cutors are certain Presbyterian jour-
nails, with some others assisting. The
defenders of the Bishop are the papers
OF his own denomination. He was
charged by Southern Presbyterian
minister with having said at a Chau-
tauqua meeting that the divinity OF
Christ is not am essential article of the
Christian faith. He has been put ON the
witness stand. and has solemnly de-
Cared that he did not say it. But his
defense has been rejected by his pros
ecutors, who now plainly intimate that
he Is guilty of tergiversation. Mean
while, Bishop Vincent has fled from the
country and has taken refuge some
where in South America till the attack
shall have subsidized. What he seems
to have said, or meant to say, was that
a mans ignorance of Christ, If he
strives with all his heart to know God
and obey him, need not leave him
hopeless of obtaining divine favor. The
Bishops chief fault seems to be, not
that he is unorthodox, but that he is
human
Some, but by no means adequate,
attention has been given says the
New York Christian Advocate"
(Meth.) ito what is going on ait West
Point We refer to a proposition to
erect a Catholic chapel to cost about
S2O,0OO, and to be placed Within the
military reservation on Government
grounds. West Point has a chapel for
religious services in addition to that
used by the chaplain. This chapel has
been free to both Protestants and Cath
olics; both have used it, and there has
been so far no conflict or difficulty of
any kind. This movement was started
by the parish priest Of Highland Falls,
probably melted to do so by higher
authority. The question is, who is the
authority to issue a license for any
thing of that kind? The Secretary of
War has no power to issue a license
for anything permanent, and yet the
Roman Catholics propose to erect this
OF stone. There is no reason, as the
independent observes, why if such
favor be conceded to the Catholics, it
should not be to- the MethodiSts, the
Presbyterlans or any other denomina-
ton that asks for it. We concur with
the call of the Independent for gen
eral protest against the movement, not
because it is Catholic, but because it Is
sectarian.''

the most Christian spirit on all occasions.
Methodists are intense, and We as a rule
enter heartily into our discussions; but
not particle Ct anger has been mani
fested. | make these remarks because re-
ports have been circulated by interested
parties to the contrary.
"Much was said about the appointment
of an auditing mittee, and an attempt
was made by the same parties 10 have it
appear that such action was reflection on
the presiding elders. 1t was, in fact, on
motion of a presiding elder that the COM
mittee WAS appointed. Il is a business
necessity and casts no reflection on any
body. This territory in the West and
Northwest EN- braces thousands of square
miles, and it is necessary to know how all
the money is disbursed In a few places
there are men who do not show good
financial ability.
They are as honest as man can be, but
owing to bad management the board has
been imposed upon. and the money, not
having been well invested, Is lost to the
church. The Bishop took the stand that
such committee was necessary, and ad-
vocated II.
Now regarding the false reports that
have been spread and published, but for
which we do not blame the newspapers.
the consensus OF opinion is that the par
ties who have been furnishing the press
with unfair and misleading reports are
enemies TO the church.
1--WE do not blame the newspapers for
publishing what they believed to be The
truth, and coming from seemingly reii-
able parties tney were justified in their
belief. We do, however, sincerely dep:ore
the fact hat there are people. mem bers OF
the church, who would give out such in
formation. The articles of DIR. Steele that
we're published in Eastern papers after his
recent tour OF the West misrepresented us
most egregiously, and they were refuted
by facts anu figures from tho printed min
utes OF all the conferences here on the
coast.
.I9inally Dr.. Steele consented that he had
tailed to make out his case, when he said
that the church on the coast had been
losing ground and had less mem bership
than ten years ago. He then made his
attack on the administration OF the
church, making the charge that the ad-
minisiraiiol was tyrannical and arbitrary
ami calcu ated to discourage and destroy
the work and influence OF the church
The,e articles were published in pam phiet
form and mailed throughout the country
by parties who were i'll sympathy with
his views.
"A great deal of important business has
been transacted at each session and the
dele cations represent the very best of the
clergy and laity in the conference. Every
body is unanimous in their praise of those
who have entertained the delegates while
in this city and with the exception to
which have referred lie convention has
been particularly harmonious anu in
teresting.
Next Monday Bishop Hargrove will
read the appointments of the miaister RS
and then will end the business OF the con-
ference. The prospects for the work on
the coast for the coming year are ve-y
bright, and we expect TO experiences a
period of marked advance ana activity.

he teams lined up as follows:

Gresberg's work at center was the fea-
ture OF the first haf. He repeatedly broke
through Burnett and stopped the play.
Sheehy also succeeded in breaking
through the Reliance line, and Wolf s
breaking of the Reliance interference was
very effective. Haskell fun bled some
what, and his work as captain, if encour-
aging the team, interfered considera bly,
with his defensive work as quarter back.
Reliance substituted Frick for Arett in
the second half. In the second half, as
in the first, the line-bucking OF the Re-
lance netted gains. Frick bucked with
his wUnted energy. as Arlett had done in
the first half. Reliance also saved its
kicks TO advantage.
The University team which lined up for
the second ba.f consisted practically OF
the regular second eleven. The make-u
OF the line was as follows: Center, Fowler;
right guard, Mayer; left guard, Hooper;
right tackle, Tolman left tackle, Volney
Craig; right end, Allen; left end, Collier
(captain); quarter. Smith; right half,
Thane; left nalf, Spence; ullback, Shell
don. The work OF man, Hooper ana
Alien was particularly good.
In the last half Captain Haskell broCgh,
out practically the same eleven as had
lined up at the beginning Of the game.
McDermott was put in plac, of Sheehy,
ana Dun Ear and Cornish took the places
of Barnes and Dickson, tackles. The
half closed with the ball near the u. c.
goal.
The work of the Berkeley team, while
slow, VAS effective, and the showing OF a
game without score on either side indi-
Gated the presence of pretty good football
material. The game was refereed by Jack
Sheehan. Ed Sherman acted as umpise.

from tuberculosis and advertise them
through the school children by means of
circulars All dairymen will be gwen
sufficient time TO have the test applied,
and If they ial to do so. the State law will

sald
I'VE must geek out all dairymen who
are selling tuberculosis milk ana quaran-
tine their cows. then spill their mix and
show them that We mean business"
in lengthy report the board has this
to say 0. the Council:
A majority OF the Oakland City Council
seems TO have been more active in securing
some plausible excuse acceptable 10 the pub
lie for voting against sucn an ordinance than
a desire TO learn the truth OF lessen the death
rate from consumption in this community, as
plainly shown by the implicit confidence and
credulty placed in a few interested Gairymen
and uGiuf3rmed veterinarians as against the
scleAtlHc weight u TIE eltllS natiou. % Ial
the actions OF the Oakland City Council would
lead US 10 believe that they have not the
moral courage to properly deal with this ques-
tion.
The members who had voted for an
ordinance were thanked by special resolu-
tons for their faithfuIness to the public's
best interests.
The board recon- mended to the Council
that ward be built between their office
