Ordination and Installation of Rev Dwight E. Potter,
A large congregation gathered at Union Street Presbyterian church on Tuesday evening to witness the ordination and installation of Dwight E. Potter as pastor of that church. The church was tastefully decorated for the occasion. In the absence of Rev. Mr. Logan, the Moderator of the Presbytery, Rev. J. M. Alexander of East Oakland was chosen to preside over the meeting. In a few well chosen words Mr. Alexander stated to the congregation the object of the meeting. After a song by the choir and congregation, the Moderator led in prayer, following the prayer an anthem was sentered by the choir, which is under the direction of Mrs. Chas. W. Clifton, Rev. J. Curry, D. D. of Temescal, then read the Scripture lesson, and also preached the ordination taking for his text the words "Let every man take heed how he buildeth." In the course of his remarks he spoke of the necessity of having wisdom to build, it does not require much to tear down. said the speaker, but it takes wisdom, courage, perseverance and consecration to build for God. He compared the church to a star launched into a world of darkness to give light and guidance to the lost.
Following Dr. Curry's remarks the congregation was favored with a solo by Mrs. Charles W. Clifton, which was rendered in a very pleasing manner.
The Moderator then reviewed the proceedings of the Presbytery which met a short time ago at Golden Gate by whose authority they assembled last night. Mr. Alexander spoke highly of Mr. Potter and of his examination before the Presbytery, which was in every way satisfactory; he also spoke of the call placed in the hands of the Presbytery by the church which has so unanimously invited Mr. Potter to become its pastor, and of his acceptance, all of which the members of the Presbytery unanimously approved.
At this point Mr. Potter was called forward and the usual questions, according to the Presbyterian usage, were proposed, to all of which he answered in the affirmative. Then gathered around the candidate the members of the Presbytery present, and with the laying on of hands, and the ordination prayer by Rev. Mr. Dobbins of Berkley, Mr. Potter was set apart for the work of the Christian ministry.
The program was interspersed here with an appropriate anthem which was beautifully rendered. Rev, F. S. Brush, D. D. of Alameda, delivered the charge to the pastor. In a very pleasing and taking sermon Dr. Brush referred to the success of the minister as depending upon the life of the man himself; he charged the preacher to be alive, as he could give out only that which he possessed. "He is the channel through which the blessings of God are to flow out to the people." In closing his remarks, Dr. Brush gave a very cordial welcome to Mr. Potter in the ranks of the Oakland Presbytery.
Rev. J. S. McDonald, D. D., of Oakland, delivered the charge to the people; he spoke at length of the indifference of church members towards their church obligations; the speaker very forcibly impressed upon the members their duty of being present at all the services, thus upholding the hands of their pastor.
Rev. Mr. Hunter of Golden Gate offered the installation prayer and the benediction was pronounced by the pastor-elect, Rev. Dwight E. Potter, and the beautiful and impressive service was over, and all came away wishing the young minister and the church over which he was made pastor many years of happiness and prosperity in the good work. Perhaps a word should be said as to this young man's antecedents, thus giving him an introduction to the Oakland ministry in general. He is the son of Thomas M. Potter of Peabody, Kansas, who is a prominent figure in business and religious circles in that State, and has been favorably and widely mentioned as a candidate for Governor Dwight E. was born at Ann Arbor, Michigan, but was reared and educated in Kansas, and is a graduate of her State University; he took his theological course in Princeton Seminary; received the degree of master of arts from Princeton University; he spent the summer of '95 in Europe with the Princeton-Yale cycling party of which our own Miles E. Fisher was a
member. Mr. Potter wears the Phi Beta Kappa key, and is a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. He came to the coast last October, and has won his way into the hearts of the people.—Oklahoma Courier.
Prof. Blackmar's class in Practical Sociology, increased by a few others invited to accompany them, spent Monday at the penitentiary, viewing from a practice standpoint the working of a great pena institution. The party was so large, about forty in all, that they were furnished with a special car. They left over the Union Pacific at 7:30 and arrived at Lansing at 9:00, going immediately to the office of the penitentiary they were introduced to Warden Landis, who received them very kindly and soon completed the arrangements for their journey through the many windings of the penitentiary. They were divided into squads of seven and each squad furnished with a guide. These gentlemen set out in different directions with their charges showing them in turn through the bakery, laundry, shoe factory, stone works, furniture factory, state shops for wood work and repairing co-op factory, engine rooms, blacksmith shops, tailoring shop, printing office, woman's department, which is separate from the rest of the prison; ; the chapel, dining hall, and the cell houses. This ended the trip through the prison proper, and as it was noon, the visit to the coal mines was deferred until after dinner.
But before going to dinner, the class assembled on a balcony opposite the entrance to the dining hall, and witnessed the interesting march of the prisoners to their noon meal. The lockstep executed in perfect time and without a word spoken or the tap of a drum was extremely impressive. From here a hasty retreat was made to the hotel Elnora.
A1Visit to the Penitentiary
After their appetites were satisfied the class were again on the qui vive, reads for more strange sights, and they were soon treated to the strangest of all. Again, pleasing themselves, under their guides they were escorted to a dressing room where they denned denim clothes, preparatory for a trip down into the coal mines. As soon as they were ready all work was stopped in the shafts and the work of lowering the students to the bottom of the mine began. They were placed, one squad at a time, in the cages, and in less time than it takes to tell it, were carried to the lower end of the shaft, a distance of 720 feet. Then began an underground journey back into some of the shafts where the miners could be seen at their work. Much amusement was furnished by the mode of conveyance, furnished the students. They were loaded into the little tram cars which are used to carry the coal to the elevator and thence to the top of the mine. Four were loaded into each car and three or four cars were made into a train with a mule for a locomotive. In this strange contrivance they rode merrily and safely to their destination. Unloading they pushed through a narrow shaft back into a dark recess where women could be seen crouching down on hands and knees, working in the rock before them. The smoke from the lamp and the cold dust soon drove the sight seers out of here and all were quite willing to return to the sunlight again. Once at the top, dirty faces and hands were soon made clean and the party then adjourned to the office of the warden who again greeted them pleasantly and very graciously consented to submit to one of those shot gun quizzes which Prof. Adams's students know so well how to give. To the question as to the proportion of accidental criminals to recidivis, he gave the answer, 75 per cent of the former and 25 per cent of the latter. He declared that the state could not afford to spare any expense in making a good citizen out of a criminal, that a man who had the criminal instinct could not be reformed, in the narrow sense of that term. "I know," said Mr. Landis, "of fifty men in here today, who, if pardoned out, would make good citizens." Many questions were asked, all of which he freely answered. At 5 o'clock, after expressing their gratitude to the Warden for the kind treatment received at his hands, the class sought the train for Lawrence, where they arrived at 6 o'clock thoroughly tired out, but full of the conviction that one day spent in the practical study of *a* criminal or penal system, is worth a month's study in a library.

During the evening an informal program was rendered in which Mrs. McCullum Smith and Misses Lichtenwalter and Connely took part.
Last Monday evening the students and professors of the University school of Fine Arts assembled at the home of Prof. Penny for the purpose of showing their appreciation of him.
Prof. Penny Surprised.
The principal feature of the evening was an eloquent address by Professor Hopkins in which he paid the highest compliments to Professor Penny for his excellent service during his nine year connection with the University. At the close of the address Professor Hopkins in behalf of the School of Fine Arts, presented to Professor Penny a handsome gold watch, and to Mrs. Penny a full blown American Beauty rose. Professor Penny was very much touched and made a fitting response in which she attributed the greater part of his success to the constant aid of Chancellor Snow, and an excellent faculty.
After being served with refreshments by Miss Snow the company bid Professor and Mrs. Penny good night, wishing them pleasant dreams and many pleasant realities.
When Professor Penny was elected Dean of the Fine Arts school in 1890, there were but two instructors. The school has grown steadily until now there are three distinct departments, music, art and elocation, and a faculty of eight instructors. The course of study which then covered but two years work, now requires four years. With the aid of his able corps of instructors among whom are Mrs. Marsh-Dunlap and Professors Preyer, Farrel, Clarke and Vickey, Professor Penny has raised the School of Fine Arts to the highest grade of efficiency, making it second to none in the west.
A kiss is a noun though generally used a conjunction. It is never declined. It is more common than proper; it is not very singular and is generally used in the plural and agrees with me.
