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.

TEXAS OUT OP MONEY.
Fat, Healthy Sheep Sell on the Bio Grande
for 38 Cents Apiece.
Sax Axtoxio, Tex., Aug 14. There is
a great scarcity of money in all the lower
Rio Grande section of this State. 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.

there will be just as many visitors to enjoy
them. For this, as for all previous excur
sions, the B. & O. R. R. will provide the
excellent train service with Pullmnn parlor

dered these midsummer trips so popular.
Passengers on day trains can spend the night

"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." TTSSn

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.

Mr. Moir went 1721, the weakest move on
the board for black, and finally won tho
game. 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

and went 23-18, preventing formation of that

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

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

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. The salient moves 27-23 at
18th move, 1S-14 at 24th move, and 31-27 at
28th move, given with lengthy analysis
thereon, but no reference to my prior pub
lication and demonstration of the draw;
and the why and wherefore that 27-23. and
13-14, and 31 27 must be taken. J. A. Kear,

Coincidence 'Twas eame 28, volume 1,
that set me studying 17-14 for a draw. 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.

THE SUBSTITUTE SWINDLE.
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.

Remarkable Recovery Described by a
Relative of the Evangelist.
SIMPLE DIRECT PROOF
Of the Superior Skill of the Physicians
of the Electropathic Institute
at 507 Penn Avenue.
"I suffered constant and unremitting'pains
for years. Consulted and was treated by
different doctors, in vain. Tried the elec
trical treatment as administered b tho
physicians of the Electropathic Institute,
COT Penn avenue, and, as a result, my
trouble has disappeared."
The sneaker was Mrs. M. A. Sankey,
aunt of the great evangelist, Ira Sankey, re
siding at 115 Lacock street, Allegheny.
Mrs. M. A. Sankey, 115 Lacock street, Allegheny.
In relating her troubles to the writer she
said:
"Jly throat was the part most affected. I
suffered terrible pains, both sharp and dull.
My throat felt as though a band of iron was
tightly bound around it.
I COULD SCAPXELT SPEAK
without the effort causing me pain. To
swallow caused me great suffering.
"My trouble became so bad that the food
I attempted to swallow would nearly choke
me. The act of chewing my food was at
tended with almost unbearable pain.
"I had some of the best physicians in the
two cities attending me, vet they all were
in doubts as to my true ailment. They did
everything in their power, yet I steadily
grew
WORSE AXD WORSE.
"Together with the above trouble I suf
fered greatly from neuralgic paini. These
ailments were supplemented by nervous pros
tration until I became so bad that I shared
the belief of my friends that I would never
regain my health.
"I had'both heard and read of the virtues
of electrical treatment, and as a forlorn'
hope I at last decided to 6eek the assistance
of the physicians of the Electropathic In
stitute at CO" Penn avenue, to alleviate, if
possible, my sufferings.
"Their first treatment was followed by
marked improvement and in a short time
my pains, aches and ailments disappeared
as if by magic. Although 83 years old, I
am enjoying as good health to-day as ever
before in my life."
CHRONIC KHEUSIATIS3I CURED.
After Being Tortured for Years by Excruci
ating 1'alns, Mr. Palmer Is Finally Re
lieved by the Physicians of the Electro
pathic Institute.
Mr. J. Palmer, one of Pittsburg's most
estimable citizen, living on Lawn street,
near Craft avenue (Fourteenth ward). In
speaking of his recovery said:
Every muscle and. nerve throbbed with
pain that was almost unbearable. My
movements were attended with
EXCRUCIATING SUFFERINGS.
1 consulted the physlcians-of the Electro-
Mr. John Palmer, Lawn St., near Craft ave.
pathiu Institute at 507 Penn avenne, who
diagnosed my case as chronic rheumatism
and assnred me that
, THEY COULD CURE ME.
Their promise is fulfilled beyond my high
est expectation, and I have only words of
praise and commendation to offer in their
behalf.
PARALYSIS CURED.
Bed-Ridden and Suffering for Years a
Paralytic, Yet Sirs. John Fields, Unable
to Move Her Limbs, Has Recovered
Under the Skillful Treatment of the
Physicians of the Electropathic Insti
tute. "I can scarcely describe my sufferings
since I was stricken with paralysis over five
years ago." The speaker was Mrs. John
Fields, residing at 30 Beaver avenue, Alle
gheny. Mrs. John Fields, !0 Beaver Avenue, Allegheny.
"I could not movo without assistance. My
body felt coldns ice. Oftentimes I wished
that a merciful Providence would
END MY SUFFERINGS.
Everything I tried tailed. "As a last resort
I conclndedto try electrical treatment as
applied bv the physicians of the Electro
p.nh'c Institute. 5J7 x'enn avonue.
The first treatmentl received enabled mo
to lift my arm, something I had not done for
six months before. I improved, gradually
until now I can walk around unassisted. 1
unhesitatingly recommend these physicians
and their methods."
