The Topics That Will Be Discussed in Our Twin Citj Pulpits. TERSOXALS ABOUT PULPIT OCCTPAXTS The Stated Clerk of the Presbyterian Church of the United States, Rev. "William H. Roberts, D. D., has issued a compara tive statement preparatory to the publish ing of the annual record, from which we cull a few facts. In 1BSG there were 26 Presby teries and 199 Synods. This rear there are SO Presbyteries and 216 Synods. In 1886 the number of ministers was 5.546. This year 6,223 ministers are reported on the rolls of the church. The number of churches in 1886 was 6,281, and in 1S91 is 7,070. The membership in 18S6 was 606,909, and this year is S06.796. The Sundav School membership in 18S6 was 743.5IS and this Tear is 883,680. The amount contributed by the churches for conjrrejational purposes last year was 59,746,000, showing a decline of ?25i,000 from the previous year, but an increase of nearly ?2,000,000 over the contributions of 1S86. Total contributions of the Presby terian churches of the United States for the past year was 514.062,356, against $14,368, 131 tor the previous vear, and ?10,592,331 in 18W3. It eeuis that 1890 exceeded all previous years in amount contributed by the membership of this great denomination. Pennsylvania is the strbnphold of the Pres byterian body, the church membership of the State heme 172,367: New York State comes next with a membership of 163.139. Ohio stands third with a membership of 64,714. Philadelphia and Pittsburg are the great centers of Presb3-terianism. In this city and Allegheny with more than 150 churches, fully one-half are of this faith and order. The Scotch-Irish element which gained a loothold here at the beginning of things evidently has lost none of its grip in the march of time. Sunday Services In Pittsburg Churches.

There ha been no rain to speak of for 18 months. The ranchmen are all in debt and the farm ers have been unable to raise enough for their actual needs. The scarcity of money and the impossi bility of obtaining it in any quantity was emphasized yesterday at Roma, on the Kio Grande, where 278 fat and healthy sheep, capable of growing four pounds of wool an nually, sold for 38 cents apiece. cniLE Fannie It.

A Gift From Her Pastor. "In June 1889, after the great flood," says Mrs. E. L. Henrie, ot Johnstown, Pa., "at a time hen I was very much run down with diarrhoea and had tried two doctors without finding relief, I received a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy from my pastor. This remedy re lieved me at once, and cured me entirely in a short time. I got several bottles and gave it around among my acquaintances who were afflicted in the same wav. I think I gave it to a dozen people and it relieved and cured, so far as 1 know, in all cases. It is the best med cine for the disease I have ever known."

BT JOSEI-H MAIZE, M'DOXALD, PA. The following game was published by Mr. Maize In November, 18S9, in the Chronicle Telegraph, and it seems that our foreign cousins have not been reading our neighbor very closely, or the credit due to Mr. Maize for the following nlay would not have been overlooked. On November 29, 1890, wo pub lished in The Dispatch, game Xo. 15, betw een Mr. Maize and Mr. Moir, and some thinking that w as tho first appearance in connection with Mr. Maize, will find themselves mis taken, as he had it published Just one year ahead of tho time he playod Mr. Moir, that was in Xovembor, 188SI. If any one can show any published play ahead of that date, thov will confer on us a great favor by sending it to Tue Dispatch.

I remarked to Mr. Moir, 1519 in place of 6 10 at twenty-seventh move is tbo strongest move black can make. Mr. Moir replied, yes, but I would rather be 'excused from discussing the game, as I am under obligations to Mr. Martins for showing mo the game: in fact, the last game I played in the , old country was on that line, with Mr. Martins, and my first game on it-in this country is witlj yon; quite a coincidence. Mr. William Beattie. commenting on this, says Mr. Moir would have -been more cor rect had lie abstained from any personal claim on the game, the points of which wero shown him by the er-champion. Mr. Beat tie will also be on tho correct side when ho abstains from claiming the points of this gamo for Mr. Martins, at least until it Is shown that Mr. Martins' publication of the draw antedates my publication of tho draw in November, 18S9. (f) At this noint Dr. T.J. Blown thinks white is beaten and goes 10-12. Hnd tho dofltorscen tho play in tho above journal of the fall of 1889, he would have known better and went 23-18, preventing formation of that win ti ith a man down, because it 15-19, 26-23; if 17-21, 1G-12. Dr. Lucas and tho other local expert would have known the simo result. (2) 6-9 or 6-1 draws,, but I piefer. 6-10, as illustrating a peculiar phase of the movo and its changes (at notch); white to move and cither system is odd. White has tho move, but must play a piece short to secure the coveted draw. 'How can it bo given, at the same time changing tho movo? By play ing 11-7 (at note h) we find the pieces on 11 and 18. Move into reverse systems and then by counting the men on 13 and 21 as one, we find that the move is changed: but if 14-0, 18-14.11-7, tho pieces on 11- nnd 14 move into like systems nnd the move is not changed. (h) For the third time, white gives up a piece to save the draw, if 14 9 black wins. (i) If 14-18 whites draw by 10 20, 22 31, 15-22, 31-27, 11-15. (j) Corrects Janvicrs Anderson variation 29 at eighth move, where 1-6 is played, allow ing -whites to draw by 18-14, us in trunk above. (k) This corrects Janvicrs Anderson's vari ation 6 at eighteenth move, where 16-19 is played with a drawn result. (1) Forms a neat problem. (m) Solution to problem.

(p) 23-14 and black can draw with two men short. The above play was published by me in H. F. McAtter's column, except variations 8, 9 and 10 and notes efo and p in November, 18S9, and I had fancied that the remarkable nature of the play would have directed the attention of compilers to the rightful oiigin ator. The play is remarkable from the fact that I took the old established loss 27-23 at "A" nnd proved a draw, and took the old established draw, as in" variation 3. and piovcd.it to be a loss. In the trunk I was forced to correct tho book play at two dif ferent points to maintain the draw, variations 1 and 2, proving that 18-14 was a necessary move, also 31-27 at D. Imagino. then, my surprise when in Liverpool Mercury, of February 6, 1891; Glas gow Iterald, March 3, 1891: Dundee Nan, January 17, 1881.

Vol ume 2, variation 4, follows my trun for 13 moves, and remniks: "Mr. James Ferguson is the author of the above beautiful play, and adds, tnis game conclusively proves 27-23, at tho 18th move ot the trunk, to be perlectly sound, in fact, the best, at this point. To compliment and dictum I bow.and respectfully claim for myself the honor of having originated and given to the public, by prior publication, the only safe method of defeating 17-14 at 14th move of gamo. Gentlemen, the credit of originating this draw is mine, by light of prior publication. Mr. Martins may have known that 27 23, 18-14 and 31-27 were the must moves previous to my publication in November, ie89, but prior publication carries with it tho right to claim it as original with the person so publishing.

How Petty Frauds Upon Customers Are Practised by Dealers Canning That Cheats tho People When Yon Buy De mand the Genuine and Reject the Spurious. Chicago Tribune. 3 Mr. A. Frank Bichardson, of New York, has done the public good service by calling attention in his recent address before the National Editorial Association at St. Paul, to the petty but extensive frauds practised upon customers through what is known as the substitute swindle. The modus operandi of these dishonest deals may be briefly ex plained. There are many standard articles, such, for instance, as Pears' Soap, Scott's Emulsion, Tutt's Pills, Hood's Sarsoparilla, Morgan's Sapolio, AVolfi's Acme Blacking, St. Jacob's Oil, Ayer's Sarsaparilla, Syrup of Figs, Carlsbad Sprudel water, Cuticura, and others which have attained to a large sale and widespread reputation by their legitimate merits and the liberal advertising of their proprietors. Certain unprincipled druggists and small dealers have taken ad vantage of these circumstances to coun terfeit these goods by imitating them just close enough to keep them selves out of the clutches of the law. At Detroit and in other cities there are houses whose entire business consists in manufac turing imitations of these articles, or "sub stitutes," which are made so as to closely resemble the originals in materials used, in the name, and in the general appearance of the boxe, bottles or wrappers. As an in ducement to these small dealers and the better to enable them to carry out the swindle, their names frequently are printed on the packages by- the manufacturers, and the false caption "onr own make" is often added. It is easy to see how the swindle is worked. A customer goes into a store and asks for Scott's Emulsion, for instance, The dealer says that he has it, which is probably a lie, but recommends the customer to buy a preparntion put up by himself, which he claims to be equally good, and which, he says, he can recommend, because, he pretends, he has "compounded it himself and it is his "own moke," and besides, while Scott's Emulsion may be 50 cents a bottle, he can sell his own preparation at 25 cents. Nine times out of ten the customer, relying upon the statement of the druggist, will be in duced by motives of economy to take the substitute, which, of course, is worthless nnd may be dangerous. The dealer i3 enabled to do this, because he buys veTy cheaply from the manufacturer, and thus the two get the benefit of the advertising of the genuine material and divide large profits. Thus an unsuspecting public is swindled. It is needless to say that the druggist or dealer who will descend to this contemptible business merely because he can make a larger profit upon the substitute than he can upon the genuine article is a common swindler and none the less a swindler be cause the trick is devised so cunningly as to save him from prosecution and deserved punishment. It is a fraud upon manufac turers who are making a legitimate article and who have spent thousands of dollars to bring it before the public, and a fraud upon customers who are tricked into buying a bogus article which is worthless, if not something worse. It is time that th's con temptible business was stopped, and it con be if the press of the country will ventilate and expose it and if the public will refuse to patronize druggists who palm off these nostrums upon it. Customers should de mand the article they have every reason to believe is the best, aud if a dealer begins the old story recommending a preparation he has made himself, which he knows to be pure because he made it, which has his name on the wrapper, etc., it should be sufficient cause to refuse it promptly and go elsewhere for their goods. It is the lowest and meanest form of common thievery, and if the public will join hands with the press it can be broken up. It is certainly for the interests of the former to do so, as it is the principal sufferer. Corns permanently and quickly cured by Daisy Corn Cure. 15 cents; of druggists.
