The English Champions Complain OF Very
Mean Treatment at Boston.
BOSTON, October 22-If the Boston Athletic
Association ever promulgates another inter-
national athletic meeting 1t is safe to say the
Stafford Harriers, of Manchester, England, Will
not be competitors. The British champions
left the Hub TO a man disguised with Boston
athletics and Boston athletic clubmen.
The manager, Mr. ]. h. Hardwick. says:
Neither in ENGLAND nor America did we re-
ceive such treatment as was accorded us here.
From the hour of our arrival not single act
of courtesy has been shown us. 1 wired Mr..
II. s. Cornish the time we would arrive, but
not soul met us at the depot. Mr.. CORNISH
told me that it was just as well he didu't g., as
he would have gone TO the wrong depot. having
seen considerable of him, don't doubt that he
would.
After dinner at the hotel we set out for the
Athletic Club, and after many inquiries found
it We stood in the vestibule like lot Of
sheep, awaiting the pleasure of his highness,
Cornish, fosl5 minutes. Then in surly way
we were asT I'D if we'd like to see the club
house. ~ ---
Nicholas and Morgan, were disguised and
left. The rest of us were shown through In
pertunctory way and coldly dismissed at the
door.
Friday evening we spent as we best knew
how. We were not invited to the club house.
nor did single member visit US at the hotel"
Mr.. Hardwick goes on to state that the En-
glishmen were in every way grossly insulted
ana two of them prevented from starting In the
100-yard foot race.

A TRUCE DECLARED.
AN AMIcABLE SETTLEMENT THE RESULT
OF THE r. p. CONFERENCE.

Not Such Divergence of Opinion as Repre-
sented = The Minority Ministers Not
Censured for Issuing Circulars Express
ing Their views-Win Report to the
Presbytery.
As far as the Pittsburg Presbytery is con-
cerned the difficulty pending between the
two fractions OF the Reformed Presbyterian
Church has been settled for the present and .
truce declared. This means that the threatened
split in the church has been averted, SO far as
the action Of the committee is concerned, and
that according to the views of the committee
there is no cause for censuring the PIttsburg
Presbytery signers of the circular urging liber-
al amendments to the laws Of the church.
Nearly year ago, Just after the meeting of
the Synod. the minori y faction of that body
held meeting in the East End and formulated
platform. emoodynG their views as expressed
at the Synod meetings. This platform was
printed in circular form and distributed
throughout the district.
when the PItrsburg Presbytery met it was
alleged that the II ministers had done wrong
in holding the meeting and that some of their
teachings were not just in harmony with the
creed and laws of the church. As a result of
the Presbytery conference the following com
mittee was appointed to meet with the alleged
recreant members of the minority fac
tion belonging to the Pittsburg Presbytery and
talk over the matter and report to the central
DouNs EscN. De w opfOuil, VI AIleRQeQy, OQdlT-
man; Rev. David McAllister of the Eighth
Street Church; Rev. K. j. George, of Beaver
Falls; Prof. d. b. Wilson, of The Allegheny
Theological Seminary, and Elders D. O. Brown
and John Magee, of New Alexandria and But
Ter respectively.
Rev. j. W. Sproull, the Chairman of yester-
day afternoons meeting. which was held be.
hind closed doors, said: "You may say that we
met and talked the whole matter over In very
friendly way and came to an amicable settle
ment We found that after all there was not
such divergence of opinion as represented.
All proceedings against the ministers as far as
the committee is concerned, will be stopped.
7 on can say that there is no danger of split
in the church, and that all is unity"
member and officer of Rev. J. r. J. Milli-
gan's congregation said that the divergence of
opinion in the church was due to the two fac
tions placing different construction on the
rules of the church. The old school do not
believe in voting or holding Office under the
United States Constitution. as they think it
ungodly in its wording. The unionIsts, or lib
erals, believe in allowing that matter to be
personal one with the members. There are
also other differences regarding communion
and other church institutions.
The ministers concerned in yesterdays con-
ference were Revs. j. R. ]. Milligan, of ALE
gheny; y. B. Milligan, of the East End; E. NJ.
Mflligan, of Parnassus: Mr.. Sampson, of Nc
Keesport; Mr.. Temple, of Manchester and
Brookland; II. W. Reed, McKeesport. Rev.
Mr.. McClurgen was not present.

TWENTY ACRES OF LAND THROWN IN

| ATLANTA, October 22-'To Africa for
one dollari'' This was the dazzling offer
which delighted and gulled over 800 At
lanta negroes.
| 1t was the scheme of negro emigrant
| agent named Key. and how successfully it
worked remains to be told. Some weeks
ago Key crme to Atlanta and began to talk
his scheme. He was a smooth talker, aud
quietly claimed the attention Of his colored
brethren and sisters.
His offer was to take negro to Africa
and give him 20 acres of land for 81. An
other condition was, that badge had to be
purchased for a quarter which entitled the
holder to passage on the steamship "Good
Hope" which would leave Savannah for
A rica in few weeks. OF course Key
made money from the scheme.
A BOLD swINDLER.
Finally he became bolder and began Or
ganizing meetings. He would speak at
length, explaining to his audiences that
cabbages grew as tall as trees on the soil in
Africa, of which each emIgrant was
to be given 20 acres. He told
Of the peculiar brand of sweet
potatoes which grew wild and to an enor-
nous size His speech was dazzling to the
minds OF the colored men, and alter the
meeting when he called for those who
wanted to 60, dollar after dollar was turned
over to the "slick artist"
His meeting went on without Interrupt
ton for some time, and he was sin clover"
as the saying goes. He has collected about
$500 and had fine prospect OF much more.
One evil moment George Trasher, the
wellknown colored ward politician, dropped
in at one OF Keys meetings." Now, it's a
hard matter to fool George into anything,
and his mind is naturally of an investigatve
turn. So, when he heard the brilliant offer
o the emigrsnt agent, he was on his feet in
a twinkling.
'By what authority do you make that
offer ?" shouted George.
HE REFERRED TO HARRISON.
The agent was ready with an answer. "By
authority OF the President OF the United
States" he replied. This somewhat stunned
George, but he was not to be so easily de-
feated.
'That's mighty good authority" he said,
"but what steamship company have you
made your arrangements with to carry all
these people over?" 4
The agent saw that George was becoming
too inquisisive, and luckily was able to call
the audience to his assistance. George was
hooted out and the collection Of money went
merrily on. The agent saw, however, that
his game was up, and has skipped out, Ieav-
ing about 800 dupes sin the soup"

PITCHER WEYHING IN TROUBLE.
Wards star TwirIer is Wanted for Damaging
a Drinking Saloon.

a Drinking Saloon.
NEW YORK, October 22.-Justice Peterson,
sitting for Judge Keuna- in the Gates
Avenue Police Court yesterday, issued
warrant for the arrest of Gus Weyhing
the star pitcher of the Brooklyn Players
League Baseball Club. Court Officer O'Shaugh-
nessey. who has been a regular attendant at
Eastern Park throughout the season. and who
is an ardent admirer of Weyhing's abilities,
who be declares is the Creates pitcher in the
country, is hunting for Weyhing, armed with
the warrant. The complainant is Brewer Piel,
whose place, corner Of Liberty and Sheffield
avenues was damaged by the pitcher one day
last week.
It seems that weighing and party of friends,
among whom was well-known local politician,
visited the brewers saloon, and were soon
ensconced in private room, where the liquid
refreshments, which were imbibed in unlimited
quantities, soon exhilarated the party. The
team throughout the season, and before this in
Cident PlCl was on terms of the greatest in
timacy with the memners of the entire team.
An elaborate figure of Gambrinus attracted
the attention of member Of the party, and he
suggeFted that Weighing ''try to put sandwich
over the plate" !. e., hit the figure of Gam
brinUs. The suggestion caught the favor of the
great pitchers mind immediately, and with the
ardor OF a street gamin he prepared an immense
Dutch bread sandwich, which he plenufully
plastered with mustard and butter, and hurled
II at the painted figure. So successful was the
shot that others were sent rapidly flying after
the first, and soon the handsome ceili1- was
entirely ruined The damage done by We Ling
is estimated al $50.

Levies on Fortifying Spirits in Sweet Wines
g.. to be Paid Back.
WASHINGTON, October 22.-One Of the
provisions of the existing tariff law is that
makers of sweet wines shall be allowed the
use of grape brandy free of tax for the pur-
pose of iortifying their wines. The Com
missioner of Internal Revenue is charged
with the duty of transferring the brandy
from the bonded warehouse or distillery
where it is made to the winery, requiring a
large number of new stamps and the prepa-
rations OF new regulations. In view OF the
press Of other work at the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing it will be impossible
to procure supply of stamps until after De-
cember l. By that time the vintage season
will have passed and the wine makers be
precluded this year from all benefits in
tended by the act.
To provide against this state of affairs, the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue has in
structed the collectors at San Francisco,
New York and elsewhere to notify persons
interested that he will consider applications
to refund the taxes paid on all spirits which
may have been used in the fortifcation of
sweet wines.

LOOKING AT PICTURES.

Ones Eye Should be Three Times the Great
est Dimension From 1t.
To see picture properly you should stand
at distance about three times the greatest
dimension OF the canvas; that is, if the
picture be two feet high. your face should
be about six feet distant in order to get the
best view. You can thus comprehend the
artists idea and see the picture as he meant
you should.
No artist ever intended his pictures to be
examined with reference to the manner the
paint was laid on, and in a minute exam
ination the whole general effect is lost.
