Messrs, Wolmarans and Wessels, the floer representatives, were received by secretary of state Hay yesterday af ternoon. It was distinctly undersiood that the Boers were to be received as private citizens, and Mr. Hay talked to them freely with this understand ing. The principal object of the dele gates was to induce the United States government to do something to ter minate the present struggle in South Africa, though they were not very specific as to what they wanted, The secretary of state heard them atten. tively, but recommended that the Boers see Mr. Koosevelt and ascertain his views. This they agreed to do, and later in the glay, accompanied by De. Frederick Mueller, of the Orange Free State, called at the White house. They were received by president togsevelt, in the library, 'and remain ed with 'him shout fifteen minutes. They called as private citizens, and not in their official capacity as Boer representatives. Mr. Roosevelt listened attentively to 'what they had to say, fad then informed them the United States government cannot and will not interfere in the struggle, A matter of complaint hy the dele ghtes was the shipment of horses, mules and provisiops from the United States for the British forces in Bouth Mvica. Secrotary Hay went over this subject very carefully with them, cit- ing authorities and precedent which he painedgout conclusively establish ed the lack of authority on the pare of the general government to stop the American farmer from shipping their provisions and the stock raiser from selling his produce anywhere in the world where they could get the best prices. He also pointed out that the government's 'attitode in this, as in other matters connected with the South African war, had been strictly neutral, and that the government had done nothing to prevent shipments of commodities to the Boer forces, SAVE BEGGAR ANOTHER ARM. Policeman Performs an Operation On Mendicant. New York, March 6.--~Donato Callo, arraigned in the Yorkville police court, caused considerable excitement in front of the Vanderbilt residence, at Fifth avenue and Fifty-first street, yester day, when court policeman Hartigan, accompanied by Robert Grier Monroe and agent Forbes, of the charity aid organization, tried to arrest him for hegging Mr. Monroe, as president of the so ciety, was making a tour of the dis trict to 'see how many beggers were "working" in that part of the city. They found Callo begging for money, and because of his apparent crippled condition he excited the pity of the passerby. A man and a woman who had just passed gropped some money into the beggars palm. The beggar had apparently but one arm. As the policeman arrested Wim, the wan and woman protested against bothering a cripple, and demanded that he be re. lensed. The beggar also protested against arrest, and a small crowd gathered about and began to hustle the policeman. Mr. Monroe told the orfere with the police man in the disclarge of his duty. The policeman pulled out his pocket knife, and some one in the erowd cried out : "Look out, he's got a knife." The policeman was-in- plain clothes and few of those in the erowd knew who he was, "What are you that knife 2" demanded the man had given money to the beggar. I am going to give this beggar an other arm," replied Hartigan, as he ripped up the empty coat sleeve of the Italian and polled into view another sound arm. The crowd then saw that the Ttalian was an imposter and offer od no further protest. Callo was committed house for two months in default 8300 bail. He said he lived at east 110th street. going to do with who to the work- of 41 Macdonald Club Meets. A Jargely attended annual meeting nald club was held last detit, occupied the chair.

It is viewed with suspicion becanse of its non-sacred character, and the oppor tunities it affords to persons who are not over-scrupuloss about --tulling the truth to commit perjury. It is a mat- ter. of regret that there is already far too much perjury in our coufts of law, and it frequently happens that presiding magistrates are reluctantly compelled to point out to witnessos the impressive nature of an oath. At Marlborough pelice court it is not at all unusual to find a charge list containing sixty or seventy different items. This means that two hundrea persons are required to be sworn be fore the end of the list is reached. To inform each person separately that be could choose between two forms of oath would mean a sitting of inter minable length. Many magistrates' clerks do mot de- ny that the kissing of the book: has become a mere matter of form with many persons, Others dodge the kissing process by putting their thumb to the lips, and a large section of the public always open the book to a glean page an the inside.

March the Fadi ny wm, at this 'the guneral question { of temperance, or the mpccific subject of prohibition but I would ask you tw allow me to correct a misstatement which appeared in the report of King ston presbytery as given by yester of the News. The report was as follows "Fhe Rev. John Mackie introduced a resolution in favor of prohibition and asked the moderator to write a pastoral in favor of the legislation. The Rev. Dr. Jordan thought the referendum would be put before next and it would be suitable to deal with the matter now. In order that the matter would be more fully dis cussedl by a larger gathering of the proshytery, the Rev. Mr. Mackie mov- seconded by the Rev, M. Macgili vray "The presbytery has learned with the greatest gratification that the mind of the kirk session is almost unanimous in favor of _prohibitory legislation and in view of the present time, instruct the moderator ¥ write a pastoral on the subject, setting forth these facts and exort the members and adherents of the church faithfully to discharge their duty in the matter when brought before them.'--Carried." Fhis is exactly the opposite of my attitude on the question. 1 said that if it was intended to use this resolu- tion, as an electoral weapon, there would be time to deal with it, at an ther session, later in the year. But as tomy own position, I regarded it as quite inexpedient and indeed un- righteous to attempt to fasten the col lective authority of our chweh to a particular method of dealing with the liquor trafic. A majority can force through a meeting resolutions that have not received fair «igcussion, but hev cannot abolish the rights of the minority, and if they vote until doomsday they cannot make prohibi tion an article of faith. This is a question quite distinet from that of prohibition. 1 am not now concerned with that on its secial and politi cal side, but on the eeclesiastical as- pect of the business I wish to be quite if any one wishes to know my view it is simply thie : I dissent from the action of the Kingston presbytery, and protest against all such 'pastor -W.

The musical director of the company, who was the antoerat for the time, through misapprehension, was at the theatre an hour before the time called for rehearsal and waited but a few moments. The orchestra were in their places at four o'clock and rernained until after five o'clock, and rehearsed the opera, including the overture, under my direction, and were prepared to creditably take their parte Admitting the justnéss of the hireetor--in-leaving -theorehestra---ont of the opera because he did not per sonally superintend the rehearsal, it wel THtit simple justice to the manager of the house that the orchestra should Lhe cin. their places, aud at least, play "hetween actsd!

PASTORS' TROUBLES ---- In Reaching TheiriChurches--Good Literary Society. Newburgh, March 4.--On Friday ' af- ternoon the pupils of the high school held another very interesting meeting of their literary soviety. The chair was occupied by Roy Paul, vice-president of the society George Anson Ayles worth, who has always manifested a very warm interest in the society, was wgain chosen critic. Essays were read by Misses Edith. PRabeock, Juanita Thompson and Maude Fox and Mas ters Willie McHenry, Harry Wagar, Marshall Hinch, Stewart Woods and Ernest Tiskey. These were all very creditable, the subjects including such a wide range as table etiquette, news. papers. and industrial educativn. May Farley contributed a recitation. The musical portion of the programme was given by Miss Anna May Sutton, whe sang a pretty solo, and the boys' chorus, which rendered five pieces in fine style, the solo in one being well taken by Marshall Hinch. Mr. Ayles worth was a very appreciative critic, interspersing his remarks with sage advice. The next two mectings of this society will probably prove the most interesting of the season, A contest in the musical line has been arranged be- tween the girls and boys of the school. On Friday, 2st inst, the girls will furnish the musical portion of the programme, to be followed by the boys in an endeavor to surpass them on Thursday, the 27th, Competent judges will be appointed to value the sections and the contest will cer tainly be lively. A debate will also be a feature of the meeting on the 27th. Sabbath last in church circles was a memorable one in Newburgh and roundabout.
