CHARGED WITH HERESY
PROF. BOVINE, OF BOSTON UNIVERSE
TY, CITED FOR TRIAL.
Hearing Will Take Place Before Ec-
cIesiasticaI Court of the Methodist
Episcopal Church.

BOSTON, Dec. 1.-Papers have been
served upon Prof Borden Bovine. of the
Boston University, calling him to trial be-
fore the ecclesiastical court of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church TO answer to the
general charge of heresy.
Rev. George A Cooke, pastor Of Trinity
Methodist Church, West Medford, and a
member of the New England Conference,
is the formal accuser of Professor BOVINE,
and the specifica tions five in number, are
based upon the general allegation that the
professor has disseminated doctrines which
are contrary to the articles of religion or
established standards of doctrine in the
Methodist Episcopal Church"
Professor Bovine is widely known a
writer on philosophy and his recent state
ments concerning the Bible and religious
subjects have attracted much attention. Mr.:
Cook Is the author of pamphlet, issued
several months ago and circulated through
out the Methodist Church, in which he has
criticised Professor Bownes teachings. Tie
first specification against Professor Bovine
is that the philosophers views concerning
the Deity are contrary to the plain teach
ings of the Scriptures: the second, that his
views of the inspiration and authority OF
the holy Scriptures are also contrary to
those Scriptures; the third, that his notion
of the atonement is contrary, not only TO
the Scriptures, but also TO the ritual of the
Lords supper in the discipline of the
church.
The fourth charge refers to his teachings
of eschatology, which, it is declared, are di-
rectly contrary to the Scriptures and the
Methodist standards of faith. The last
statement Is that Professor Bovine dssem-
mates views of Christian experience "con-
trary to the plain teaching of the holy
Scriptures and contrary to the established
doctrines of the Methodist Episcopal
Church."

QUAKERS AND TIGERS UNITE.
1t Is Said They Will Sign n Five-Year
Athletic Agreement.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. LIT is re-
ported that Pennsylvania and Prince
ton will sign a five-year athletic agree
ment and that the colleges will re-
sumo athletic relations next spring. The
Philadelphia students say that If there is
no break between Harvard and Pennsyl-
vania this year the latter college will cut
out most of the minor universities when
she makes up her football schedule for
next fall. 1t is intimated that Pennsylvania
includes Columbia among the minor col
leges and that, therefore, the New York
students will not get chance to give the
Quakers another walloping the grid
iron. The Columbia students say they will
not mind losing the game with Pennsyl-
vania If they can schedule a contest with
either Princeton or Harvard. In fact CO.
lumbia is already negotiating with the
Cambridge College. and 1t is very probable
that a Harvard-Columbia battle will be
seen in New York city next fall. If there
is no hitch now in the new agreement be-
tween Pennsylvania and Princeton the
Tigers will probably meet the Quakers on
the gridiron next fall. Princeton and Penn
sylvania have not played football since 1894,
when Pennsylvania won by score Of

REMAINS OF MONSTER BIRD.
Valuable Discovery Made in Southern
Part of Argentine Republic
! Larger Than the Dodo.

Brief information of the discovery
in Patagonia, or rather, OF the south
ern part of the Argentine Republic,
of part of the remains Of an extinct
bird that, in size, outrivals any Of the
forms known to science. either living
or extiact, has just reached the chief
ornithologlst of the Smithsonian in
stitution, who regards the discovery
as one of the first Importance. The
details thus far received are to the
effect that a scientific party e1plor-
ing alcny the eastern foothills OF the
Andes range unearthed from the
strata of the tertiary age the skull OF
what they at first took to be gigan-
tic bird of prey, but on subsequent
examination they unearthed other
parts that caused them to change
their first view and reach the conclu-
sion that the bird must have been
water fowl The size of this extinct
bird, which the discoverers named the
"phorarachis, is, according to the
reports, something amazing, it having
been at least fourth larger than the
"dodo" of Madagascar, bird now ex-
tinct, but which until the finding OF
this Patagonian monster held first
place for size in the list of birds llv-
ing and extinct The government or
nithologists are anxiously awaiting
further details Of this interesting dis
