5Uo bIOduWtlyJ hdS (.
 r. R. Porter, the publisher of the Oak land Record intends to get optnIon from tho president of several State universit.es regarding blasphemy.
 MT. Porter ha. been urged 10 do this by a very short note he receive1 yesterday fem President Martin Kellogg of the University of California.
 President Kellogg's note reads: MT. F. R. Porter-Dear Sir: Please discontinue sending me the Oakland Record. The ar- ticle I inclose with this l consider too blasphemous to enter any Christian home.
 The article referred to Is headed 'The Monarch of the Sun," and Is as follows:
 'rWe believe that if the sun should cea SC to shine the creatures of this planet would almost immediately perish. Now. the king of the sun, and therefore its chief engineer, is parsonage, we fancy, whose name Is God. What an irksome task that potentate has, not only to keep the sun in perfect operation, but likewise to make this world, not to speak Of other orbs of the solar system, remain In actiy- ity as the seat of grand phases, such as the birth career and death of human be- fnest Wherein does the sun king get Dleasure now from this globe of poisons, diseases, griefs and funerals! 4ears ana years ago. when the scheme was new, then of the events characteristic of this whirl- ing mass of wonderful substances, but tLe show is a very familiar spectacle 10 him to-day. One would think he he yn3l would he tired of the performance! One thing, s'1re God deserves no bouquets for his invention of this worlds stock of diseases s and posons. And he perpetrated mean joke when he ..ecreed that the youth should become by bodily growth and chemical effervescence either the totter- ing old woman or the aecrepit old man Clearly, the monarch of the sun, what, ever may be that individuals seT and other personal traits should right sho1g awag order that it become less a sheol and more a heaven to every one of it's I transient lisi It
 The editor declares that his effort IS m no way blasphemous, and he takes issue with President Kellogg. He will at once send a copy of his paper containing the alleged biasphemy to President Jordan of Stanford and several other heads of universities asking their % opinion IhfIss MT; NIT no more blasphemous than and are quite as clever as, those of several Of the pro, fessors at Berkeley who are aVo"eo agnosticS, atheists or delStS

THE BOARD OF HEALTH. A Dairyman Whose Cows Give Two Kinds of Milk-The Death List.

ALAMEDA May 7.-At the meeting of the Board of Health last evening there was lengthy discussion over the case of a dairyman named Gessler, whose milk had been tested and had not given satis- factory results. It was shown that he had two different kinds In different cans and that he served the best kind to his wealthiest customers and the other kind to the others. It was also shown that milk taken directly from the cows at milking time gave a considerably better result than that taken from the wagons during delivery. After considerable talk it was decided to let the matter go over a month. in the hope that a reconcilia- ton between samples might be effected in the meantime.
 There were thirty-three cases of con- tagious diseases during the month of April, of which four were diphtheria and three scarlet fever. The others were measles and kindred diseases.
 There were twenty-seven births during April-thirteen male and fourteen female and there were sixteen deaths.

Gee Him Tries to Kill His Friend With

 His Disease.

 Days.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

sos Broadway, May '. Out at the County Infrmary are two lepers. At an early hour this morning they became imbued with the Sharkey- Jeffries spirit and started to fight with
 fists and hatchet.
 The lepers are kept in a little cabin about a quarter of a mile from the in- frmary toward the hills. An Lock and Gee Him have been living for months in the shaky hut, but their life has been 1 one of continual quarrel. They have ire quently fought because of their fealty to two different tongs in San Francisco. Some weeks ago they decided to bury their differences and live in peace, but this morning the truce came to an end. Gee Him procured hatchet went into the part of the hut occupied by An Lock
 and attacked him while the latter was asleep. Lock was struck on the head sev- eral times before he jumped up and ran off. Gee Him followed and cut at the
 man whenever he could reach him, but finally the bleeding leper met the night watchman of the infirmary and was taken into the operating room, where
 Drs. Clark and Lilly dressed his injuries.
 The doctors found twenty cuts on the victim, some, of them half an inch deep, and others close to the jugular vein. It is surprising to them that they were not fatal.
 Sheriff White was informed of the as- Sault, but could see no way to arrest Gee Him. The Sheriff could not bring the leper inside the city limits, because he would be restrained by the Health OII- cer, so after consultation with Health Officer Dunn a deputy sheriff was de- tailed to mount guard over the pest haunted shanty in which Gee Him Is now confined and from which he shows no desire to escape.
 The case involves many curious points. l Gee Him cannot be arrested and brought to the County Jail, neither can he be brought into the courts for trial. The Sheriff says that he cannot maintain two deputies. necessary to relieve each other, at the shanty. and consequently there is a possibility that Gee Him will go un- punished
 After a consultation with Judge Greene the Sheriff was advised to recommend to the Supervisors that they immediately authorize the construction of separate apartment in which to confine Gee Him. Health Officer Dunn this afternoon served the Sheriff with a notice that under no conditions must the murderous leper be brought within the city limits.
