IALLEGHEST PULPITS OK SUNDAY.
The Doctrine of Eternal Torment
Preached as of Old.
Not
GLEANINGS FROM CHUECH FIELDS
The resignation of a leading Baptist
clergyman on the ground that he no longer
believed in the doctrine of eternal pnnish
ment is the leading religions eTent of the
week. A generation ago this doctrine was
much more preached than it is now. There
was a time in the memory of the writer
when ministers dwelt mnch more on the
idea of future endless punishment than
they do to-day. The terrors of the law are
certainly not held forth in the pulpit in
these times as in the days of our fathers.
Has the old faith in eternal torment heen
shaken? Certainly, the idea of physical
torture has passed away. Few intelligent
Christians accept the idea of a literal lake
of fire where the lost are "burning continu
ally and unconsumed."
Presbyterian Ministers' Association, Mon
day, quiz day.
The following questions will be consid
ered, viz.: To what extent is Bibliolatry
practiced in the Presbyterian Church? "Was
it wise in the faculty of Union Theological
Seminary to expel John JlcComb? What
is your estimate of the late Dr. Howard
''Crosby as a theologian, as a preacher and
as a man? Does the Confession of Faith
teach the verbal inspiration of the Scrip
tures? Is the inerrancy of the original text
of the Scriptures a tenable theory?
The closing exercises of the "Western
Theological Seminary will take place during
the coming week. On Sabbath evening.

THE
MANAGING THE CITY.
Parly Politics Sbonld Not Enter Into
Municipal Government.
THEY HATE K0 PLACE THERE.
The Dntlej DevolTlns on Ionng Men In All
Local Elections.
MUCH WILL DEFEND ON UNITED ACTION
nVETTTEir FOE TBX DISPATCH. 1
So astoundinglr are onr cities growing that
the date is near when an actual majority of
our young voters will enter upon the re
sponsibilities of American citizenship in
populous municipalities. And if they
should find it somewhat difficult to discover
strong and clear differences of principle
and policy between- great national parties,
they can hardly fail to discover that vital
questions, almost innumerable, affect the
welfare of their own immediate community.
For 20 years to come onr cities are destined
to be passing through a period of reorganiza
tion and publio improvement such as the
more progressive cities of Europe, most of
which are from 10 to 25 years in advance of
ours, have been witnessing since 1870,
I write this brief paper for the purpose of
urging young voters to give their earnest at
tention to the wealth, of topics and issues
that lie at their very door. The oity govern
ment touches the citizen at the most vital
points. It controls the education of
children; it has much to do with the morals
of the community; itcaudo tenfold more
than all the doctors for the general health
through the perfection of its water supply,
Us drainage and cleansing arrangements,
and its inspections of food and of household
sanitary conditions.
It may vastly promote the intelligence,
happiness and comfortof the people through
the maintenance of libraries, galleries,
parks, playgrounds, public baths and other
modern municipal adjuncts. It expends
tbe bulk of all the money that citizens pay
for taxes.
Bad City Government.
"We Americans succeed very well, upon
the whole, in managing onr national. State
and county governments. But thus far we
are notoriously unsuccessful in managing
our cities. And yet there is nothing mys
terious or impossible in good city govern
ment Diligence, intelligence and deter
mination can overcome the worst evils that
now prevail. Young citizens will find no
other class of topios.half so interesting, and
in no other directions can they make them
selves so useful.
I would recommend the formation everv
where of young men's municipal clubs, (1)
for the study ot municipal questions in gen
eral, (2) for the. study of local conditions
and the actual problems of the particular
locality, and (3) (or practical work in mu
nicipal reform. These clubs should be ab
solutely non-partisan. Party politics and
municipal government should never be
mixed up. i'arties have their legitimate
place and work, and young citizens may
well enlist in one or another; but the gov
erning machinery of a city should never be
in the hands of a political party.
The Mistake of Politics.
One of our most serious mistakes in this
country has been the treatment of munici
palities as if they were political snb-diyi-sions,
and of their government as if it
should be modeled upon the form of that of
a State or nation. The analogy is mis
chievous. The municipality is a corpora
tion, existing for a variety of purposes
peculiar to the massing (of populations
together under urban conditions. The
proper fulfillment bf these objects can have
ho more relation to the distinctions between
Kef nblicans and Democrats than can the
management of a savings bank or any other
business corporation.
These ideas being clearly and firmly field,
a young men's municipal club can be
formed from the ranks of all parties without
embarrassment. It wjll find plenty of work
to do everywhere.
First Separation of Elections. It will be
the study ofthe club in those States or in
dividual cities where municipal elections
occur in tbe autumn, on or near the date of
the general election, to insist upon a separa
tion. Municipal issues cannot have proper
treatment in connection with a political
election, City elections shonld occur in the
spring. Tbe additional cost is not a serious
objection to the separation.
Second Residence and Registration. It
is of the highest importance that the body
of municipal voters should be tolerably per
manent and always distinctly identified. A
very brief residence in a given city shonld
Dot disqualify any American citizen from
voting at a general election.
The Australian System.
But obviously no man except "an estab
lished resident should be allowed to help
regulate the affairs of the municipal corpo
ration. The distinction is generally ig
nored; but it ought not to be. Residence of
a year or more, and a careful .registration
system shonld be required for municipal
elections.
Third Australian System and Nomina
tions In the general elections the Aus
tralian system is chiefly important because
of its provision for absolutely secret voting.
But in municipal elections It is important
chiefly because it provides a plan for making
nominations that relieves good citizens from
the tyranny of party machines. In England
half a dozen citizens of a ward may join In in
dorsing a fellow-citizen as a candidate for tbe
municipal council, and his name accordingly
goes on tbe official ballot paper. The Austral
Ian system, properly secured, will wonderfully
aid in delivering our municipal corporations
from tho ward politicians and party caucus
manipulators.
Fourth Enfranchisement of Women The
municipal government is a social affair, attend
ing to streets, health, education and 100 things
that concera everybody. In England all house
holders, whether men or women, have long
possessed tbe municipal franchise.
Some Women Should Vote.
It seems to me thatln this country the women
who pay taxes or who rent houses and are In
fact the heads of families, shonld be given the
right to vote in municipal elections. This is a
subject that onrj oung men's munclpal olubs
might at least investigate with advantage.
Fifth Municipal Unity and Home Rule
Nowadays most ot the cities have half a dozen
distinct governments, each responsible for var
ious parts of the administration. The State
legislature is one or these, in numerous
States; and in many cities, besides the City
Council, there are independent school boards,
boards ot health, police commissioners, boards
of pubfio works, water commissions, park com
missions, and still other local authorities. All
of which is tho most ruinous nonsense.
A city government, like a railroad corpora
tion, shonld have unity of control and onera
tion, otherwise- there can be no placing of re
sponsibility. The Legislature, having made
general laws for the government of cities,
should keep its bands off. Its interference in
the affairs ot a particular city Is a violation of
what shonld bo held a cardinal principle mu
nicipal home rule. And this line of subject
should glvo the clubs much to think and talk
and work upon.
Seventh The Municipal Civil Service In
ncarlvall cities of the civilized world specially
qualified men serve the municipal corporation
in enjoyment of tbe'same probability of per
manent tenure that tbe officials and employes
of a commercial corporation possess; .
Trained and Efficient Officers.
Good municipal government reqnlres trained
and efficient service in all the varied depart
ments; and our young men's clubs could with
advantage consider such questions In their
general bearing, and conld usefully Eeen sharp
watch upon the chll service of particular com
munities. Eighth Agitation of Various Subjects One
of tbe most important functions of the club'
would be that of arousing tbe local public to an
interest in one topic after another that needs
agitation. Thus the growing question might In
a given city deserve consideration; and a young
men's club, through public meetings, news
paper articles and other means, might collect
and distribute information, form an active
public sentiment and accomplish an important
reform. The clubs would serve an especially
valuable purpose it by corrcsnundenco with
one another and by the collection of decn
meats and facts they could be prepared always
to tell their own immediate communities how
various .things are done In other places.
Ninth Taxation and Irlnance Onr muni
cipal dub 419814 make the beet possible study.
HTTSBUBG DISPATCH
of every detail of local taxation and finance,
should constantly watch expenditures, and
should have as one of its principal objects tbe
turning' ot full light upon every municipal
transaction involving the collection or disburse
ment of public money.
Duties of Yenng Men.
I might easily amplify these suggestions to
fill many columns; but this cr)ef outline may
suffice at present to point the way. Young
men should seldom seek municipal elective
offices, but they should take an immense inter
est in Seeing that public-spirited aud honorable
citizens of middle age, or alder men of com
parative leisure through retirement from busi
ness, are kept in responsible places.
The clnbs should deal patiently and courte
ously with men and questlons.and shonld never
allow zeal for reform to lead them too far from
the spirit of onsiness-llke and scientific inquiry.
They should never know discouragement, but
should keep steadily at their business. They
will probably find "campaign" times tbe least
advantageous for the work of steady, vigorous
public education that they onght to undertake.

ease he made out his list of appointments
and put the machinery of the department in
.working order. His physicians instructed
him to go to Mount Clemens or the Hot
Sprines, but he said he would not leave
until the department was'in-better shape.
They finally induced him to go, however,
and as late as Wednesday he was in his
office making preparations for his trip.
When he returned home be went to bed at
once. On Thursday he was very low, but
during the evening he was much better.
After midnight he grew weaker. The dis
ease went to his heart and death followed.
Edward Armstrong was born in Ireland
in 1837. His parents were Scotch-Irish. In
1851 they came to Allegheny, and Edward
has resided there ever since. He iea'rned
the trade of machinist in the works of
Haigb, Hartupee & Morrow, and afterward
became foreman of that establishment He
was married in 1860 to Hiss Elizi Hutchin
son, who, with two cons, still survives him.
He superintended large Government con
tracts during the war, and had charge of the
machine shop at the arsenal.
Iu ;1864 he organized the Andrews &
Armstrong Machine Company, of Alle
gheny. When elected Superintendent of
the Allegheny water works in 18S1 he was
Superintendent of the pump works of Jar
vis, Gray & Co. He served as Superin
tendent of the water works until his erec
tion as Chief the Department of Public
Works on March 9 of this year.
During his term of office the Allegheny
water supply system was practically
built and there never was a shortage of
water during the entire time. He was the
inventor of a stop gate and a fire plug, to
gether with a number of other minor
mechanical appliances. His last great
work was the founding of the Pennsylvania
Cooling Company, and he is the inventor of
the system of artificial refrigeration used by
this company. He also originated the idea
of building the water works at jNine-Mile
Island.

THE COUNTY SALAEY B0ABD
Allows Clerks and Other Help to a Num
ber of Officials.
The County Salary Board held a meeting
yesterday to regulate some matters for
various officials. For some time past the
Assistant District Attorney has had a clerk
who was supposed to get pay for the time
the grand jury was in session, but has been
getting his pay monthly, and it was asked
that the salary be fixed at 1,200 a year. The
request was granted. Prothonotary Brad
ley was 'allowed a paper boy at a salary of
(50 a month.
Eecorder Vonbonhorst was allowed one
60; one $50 and one 545 clerk and ten ad
ditional recording angels at $45 a month.
The latter are granted on condition that
their services cease when the transcribers
catch up with their work. It is said that
the present force is about 1,000 papers be
hind, and there is considerable complaint
coming from the publio in consequence.

NOTES.
(a) SalvioII prefers B31 but considers the
text move an excellent defense. It was fre
quently adopted by Zukertort, After examin
ing a number of games in which it occurs we
have come to the conclusion that the strangest
argument In its favor Is that it is the present
fashion to play it; for,' as Zukertort remarks,
chess openings are, like everything else, gov
erned by tbe tyrannical law of fashion.
(b) Given by Bchmidt In his analysis In tbe
Bcbacbzeitung of 1865, p. 2, who was the first
to analyze black's fourth move. It was in
variably played Dy L. Paulsen according to
Zukertort. Tbe position resulting from it
leads to early complications.
(c) B K Kt 6, given by Schmidt, is not good.
See "Chess Openings," p. 69, col. 85.
(d) Best according to. Ualvloli. B Q 3 gives
black the better game.
(e) Znxertort, In bis notes on a game played
In the Vienna tournament of 1E82 between L.
Paulsen and himself, remarks that tbe issue of
this venture should not be favorable to black.
who selected it chiefly for the sake of getting
out of tbe rontine track of a variation familiar
to his opponent andViovel to himself. We rind
It repeated in latr games, and for the reason,
most likely, that Zukertort played it with suc
cess. - fc
(f) Played by L. Paulsen vs Tschlgorin In the
same tournament. It is much better tban Q, K
B 2, played by Paulsen vs Zukertort in the
game flrst mentioned. If 11 BxKt, PxQ,; 12

Q, Kt, and black wins.
(g) Mr. Blackburne makes the strange re
mark: that 11 Q, Q 3 was entirely new to him,
and that unacquainted with it he took oft the
pawn only to discover that he had fallen into a
well conceived trap. Tschlgorin, in the game
flrst mentioned, fell into the same trap, but he
was Uminutes late and had to make 15 moves
In 20 minutes.
ir 11 xx, P Q, 6; 12 castle Q, R, and black can
not take the Kt. If 11 xx, KQKt; 12 B QB6,
which in tbe opinion of Zukertort is black's
best continuation.

(a) With the probability tthat thl opening
might bo drawn against us. and tbe necessity
that I should at least be posted on a safe de
fense, I had decided to adopt the above line of
play, as played by correspondence between
Messrs. D. McCangble, of Polloksbaws, and W.
Gray.nf Sonth Hetton, two names I considered
ot sufficient guarantee for the soundness of
their play; but pressure of time prevented me
giving more than a meager scrutiny.
(b) This was a stunner; In the game referred
to 11-15 was played, which led to a plain draw.
Everything seemed in black's favor, and I
scarcely knew what reply to zatit. Caterer.

CLOSE OF ENGLISH TOURNAMENT.
CHBISTIB WINS TUB CHAMPIONSHIP.
On defeating Jordan, and after a short Inter
val, Christie, of Sunderland, faced Beattle, of
Liverpool, and opened with tbe routine 11-15.
Beattie tried to form tbe "White Dyke." but
was prevented by his opponent, who cut 15-19.
An interesting and critical game ensued, in
which the Sunderland man had the advantage,
but Beattie played carelully, and drew, as the
saying is, by tbe skin of bis teeth. Christie
next tried the -Slncle Corner" aealnst Beattle.
'and wont on the same line as be played against
j oruan ine preceding evening, ceatne. How
ever, varied, and an interesting display of
draughts strategy resulted, in which tran after
trap was evaded by each. After two hours'
play, the game was abandoned as drawn. This
finished play for the day.
Resuming on Friday Christie again formed
"The Dyke" against Beattie, who tried his fa
vorite move (22-17) with white. The first named
early seenred an advantage in position, and this
hn so improved as tbe Dlay went on tbat he lat
terly forced a man from his opponent, who
thereunon resigned. The second came. In which
Christie formed tbe "Single Corner." was the
finest example of draughts play in tbe tourna
ment, and was won by the Sunderland expert
after a solenoid game, in which Beattie tried
every maneuver to draw. A third game played
In the evening having rosulted In a draw,
Christie won the tie with tbe score Christie, 2:
Beattle, 0; drawn, 3. The winner played finely
all through the tournament, in which be won
eight games, lost one, to Horsfall, and drew 19.

THE WORLD'S CHAMPIONSHIP DISPUTE
CniCAQO. ILL., April It. 1891.
DRAuanTS rCDiTOit TCEF-l wish it distinctly
understood 1 am willing and readv to defend my
tide. "Champion of the World," against all chal
lenires. whether itbe Wyllle, Barter or Freeman
If Freeman does not care to play for tbe title. I
will play Mm two matches or30 restricted fames
each, for f230 to SXO a side, tne first match to be
played at Chicago and the second t Prorldeuce.
lours respectfully. James P. Keed,
Checker Champion of the World.
The above was published in tho Turot April
24, and all who are familiar with the
whole circumstances, know that Reed has no
claim to the world's championship, and Mr.
Dunlap, draughts editor of the Turf, has handed
oTer to Reed and bis backers ilr. Wvllie'3
"money that was in bis possession, without any
just grounds. Taking tue lacta as tnoy nave
appeared in tho Tarfot both sides, no sporting
authority would acknowledge the action of
Mr. Dunlap as just, and if Mr. Wyllle was In
this country he would have no difficulty in
collecting his money from the stakeholder.
Mr. Dnnlaphas shown a lack of knowledge pf
the first principles governing all sports, etc.,
and tbe whole is a piece of the sharpest prac
tice that was ever done in connection with the
same of draughts.
We placed Reed far above desiring the
world's championship in any such contempti
ble way. If he bad won it, as did tbe late
lamented Robert D.Yates by defeating Wyllle.
The: Dispatch would have been tbe flrst to
eive him the place of honor as we have done
in tbe American championship, however much
others may harp about Freeman.
But Reed's assumption to the title of world's
championship in the way just described
will not be recognized by nine-tenths
of the checker players of this country. Tbe
latest from Wyllle, given below, shows he Is
still In Australia; and as the articles with Reed
gave no dates when the match was
to take place, the only thing definite
in the articles as to date, was tbat
the match would take place 60 days
after his arrival In America. These are the
facts given by Mr. Dnnlap and acknowledged
by Mr. Hefter; on the ground of their own
statements, they have no claims to tbe title
nor forfeit, and it will not surprise us if Mr.
Dunlap bas to give back Mr. Wyllle his money,
aud wo fear he will have to do it out of bis own
pocket. Mr. Wyllle is not one that either
Chicago or Mr. Dnnlap can trifle with, ana we
wait to hear from tbe old man, and until he is
ri routed bT olav. Thb DISPATCH holds that
Janus Wyllle Is champion draughts player of
the wonu.
THE DISPATCH A WHOPPER.
The f ollowiuz is from James Hill, whobought
tho proprietary right to all the games played
in tbe EnclUb championship tournament. We
ordered 25 copies of him. to send to our
solvers, and his answer, given below, may be
of interest to an intenaing purcnasers:

CHECKER GOSSIP.
The Herd Laddie. The "Herd Laddie,"
upon arriving in Sydney from tbe South Coast,
received a letter from the Secretary of tbe
Brisbane Chess and Draughts Club Inquiring
upon what terms be would pay them a visit
(before he sailrd en route for America) to play
another friendly match with Mr. Marr, who
was anxious to "cross sworch." once more with
the world's champion checkorisr. Mr, Wyllie
bas replied and awaits an answer. While at
Begahe played 58 public games, the whole of
which he won, -with the exception of one that
was drawn by Mr. Thomas James Fltzpatrick,
the "Single Corner." The manner In which it
was played stamps Mr. Fltzpatrick as a first
class player;
The Sixth ward experts called at head
quarters, 0 Seventh avenne. but could do
nothing with the players who congregate there.
- Through our correspondent. Mr: W. H. H.
Stuart, we learn that' the checker and chess
players of Washington. Pa., have formed a
club of 30 members, ana have engaged suitable
nnm, nii the two treat camos are Catherine
devotees every day. We wish the new club I
every success.
Tho next draughts excitement is the match
between Brvden and Ferrte, which commences
this week in Glasgow. Scotland. Bryden is
looked upon as the favorite, but like the

"For a year I have been a constant sufferer.
My bead pained me terribly. My eyes were
weak and watery: oftentimes I could scarcely
see. My nose was continually stopped up.
There were roaring and buzzing noises in my
ears. Tbe mucus constantly dropped Into my
throat and I was always hawking and spitting.
My throat became raw and sore. I had both
sharp and dull pains in the chest, and my limbs
pained me. I suffered from palpitation of the
heart. My stomacn was affected and 1 never
had an appetite. I was subject to a dizzy feel
ing upon rising after stooping. Scarcely slept
at night and always felt tired in tbe morniDg.
In fact, I never felt well for a day.
"Now, for tbe benefit of those who suffer
from catarrhal troubles. I truly recommend
Drs. Copeland & Blair's treatment. I feel bet
ter to-day than I have for years, and the credit
belongs to their treatment."
