vm 10 ,'THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1891 EASTOR AND PEOPLE. A Religious Parliament to Assemble at tbe Chicago Fair. ALL FAITHS TO HE REPRESENTED. Vacations Are on Advantage to Ministers and Churches. TOPICS FOR NEXT SUXDATS SERVICES Ministers are not behindhand in the effort to bring American religious ideas to the front at tbe Great Columbian Imposition to be held in Chicago in 1893. A committee of 17 clergymen, with Rev. J. H. Barrows at the head, has taken charge of the religious side of the exposition. It is proposed to in vite representatives from all lands who will present their rclicious views and seek to give a reason for the faith that is in them. ICsidei these general assemblages the different ucnoiniuations will meet separate ly for conference. Gatherings of Sunday bchools and young people's societies, of j missionary organizations and of the Evan gelical Alliance will also be held. Dr. Bar rows says: "It is the purpose to hold a Par liament of Religious, something which has never yet been held, which will promote international fellowship. It is not the idea Jo conrnroniKe Christianity or to offend 'heathenism,' but to ask representatives of -ill iaiths to speak out frankly and positively what truths they have rccivcd from the Father of Lights. "We are inviting men of the most diverse faiths to meet a brethren. It will be something new and strange for the Bramin. the Buddhist, and th Parsee to be asked ton parliament like this. Wc believe it will be a blessing to them to see our Chris tian civilization, and that it m ill be a bless ing to us to cer ami hear them. Then Me hope to have a larger representation of the fiCKs of Christendom than has ever before been s-oured. meeting, not for the purpose of worship, but for conference, we may hope to gain the assistance of cclcsiastics who Jiave not usually been teen with 'heretics.' Onr unities Mill be chiefly along ethical lines, but we expect that the Congress will nliow some surprising unities in religious thought end tendencv." Preachers Vacating. A large number of our city pnstors are taking their summer vacations, but pro ision has been made to keep the churches open for the benefit of the stayers at home, who arc largely in the majority. There are very few of our nearly 200 churches closed. "While it has come to be a recognized fact tint the pastor should have his summer out ing, it is al-o understood that substitutes an- provided ty the churches. In the 1'irst, Third and East Liberty Presbyterian Churches the pulpits have been occupied by such able ministers as Drs. Moffat, Marquis and Kellogg. Said a leading member of one of our large churches whose occupation forbids him to enjoy summer vacations: "Our church has for the past few weeks been enjoying a treat on Sunday and ."Wednesday evenings. While we esteem our pastor, the change is good for both him and the congregation. A min ister nil! inevitably get into ruts and a change of spiritual diet is good all around. Our minister will return to us better fitted for the fall and winter campaign, and we will be all the better prepared to receive the word from him because of the change of diet during the dog days, Sunday 5ertlces in Pittsburg Churches.

Tlirec Suits Brought Yesterday Two of Them Peculiar A Girl Wants 85,000 From a Man About to Leave fifr Europe The Other Cases. Attorney Rush Lake yesterday entered suit in behalfjof Bachel Weinman, by her next friend and father, George "Weinmnn, against Alexander Buff for damages for breach of promise of marriage. Miss AVein man is 17 years old and Buff Is 12 years her senior. She states that she met him in 1890 and he commenced paying her attentions. They became engaged to be married, with the knowledge of her parents, and he visited her regularly until August 16, 1891. On that date, she alleges, he tried to betray her. She refused htm and he then said he would never marry her. She says that he has money and don't have to work for a liing. Her damages she cannot estimate, but says they are at least S5,000. Buff's promise to marry her, she believes, was made only for the purpose of betraying her. He is about to leave for Europe and a capias was issued for his arrest. The bail required is S3.000. E. X. Breck, Esq., yesterday entered suit in behalf of Achille Berta against O. E. Eahncstock for S5,000 damages. Berta was lormerly steward for the lluquesne Club and the Hotel Duqticsnc. Last June, he states, he purchased from the defendant, for 2,800, a bakery and confectionery at No. 31 Frankstown avenue. He paid $1,590 down and the balance was to be paid Sep tember 1. Berta took possession and ex pended $12,000 more in fitting up the place. On August 15, he alleges, while he was ab sent, Eahnestock tore down his sign and took possession of the place. Berta now wants $j,000 damages for the loss of the place. Mrs. Elizabeth Clark yesterday entered suit, in behalf of herself and four children, against the Pennsylvania Bailroad Com pany for S25.000 damages for the death of her husband, Oliver Clark.

For ability in organ ising we have not met his equal, and this has been shown In club work, in the conduct of tourneys, and the creation of new associa tions. The last named field especially is lull of difficulties. 3Ir. Cochran has also winning personal qualities.

Kclncy, will begin a solution tourney of two movo" problems on September 6. Louis Paulsen, tbe celebrated chess ama teur, died in Loudon August 19, in his 53th yenr. We take tho following account of his life from the London Chens Monthly ot June, iraJ: He was tho youngest son of Dr. Carl Paulsen, tho strongest chess playor in the Principality of LIppe-Detmold, Germany. At the ago of 4 years Ills fathor taught him tho rudiments of the game. In 1854 ho and his brother Ernest came to this country and wont Into business at Dubuque, la., whore he defeated Mr. Littleton at the odds of the knight. In 1837 he visited Chicago and played successfully against their strong est players. Tho same year he en tered tho first American Chess Con gress at New York and won the second prizo, Paul 3Iorpby being flrst. Ho lost against him five games, won one and drew two. It was at this congress that he first tried his skill as a blindfold player. Out of five simultaneous games he won fburnnd drew one, thus bentlng Philidor's record of three games in 1774. This achievement created such a sensation at that time that the New York Chess Club awarded him a gold medal. Alter returning to Dubuque he continued tho practice ot blindfold play. First ho played 7. then 10, nnd finally 16 games simul taneously. His lame spread nil over the country, and invitation followed upon invl tion. Ho again visited Chicago, then Davcn- Iiort, Hock Island, St. Louis and Pittsburg, n each town he played ten games blind lold.

"Jly occupation is that of a railroad brakeman, but of late my health has been so poor that I have been unable to work at anything." The speaker was Thomas 31c Greevey, a young man well and favorably known at his home in Port Perry, Pa. "I have had catarrh for years, and catarrhal deafness also. I have suffered untold ago nies of mind and tortures of body, and I wnnt to make known o the public and all sufferers, that I have been cured of a seem ingly hopeless disease by the physicians of j the Elcctropathic Institute, at .j07 Pcnn avenue, Pittsburg. Thomas JfcGrccvty, Port Terry, Pa, "My case of catarrh, as I have said, was of Fome years standing and a most aggra vated case, and had resulted in deafness, unfittingme formy business. Thedischarges from my ears were large and most distress ing, and my cars presented a very unsightly and unpleasant appearance. Jly head ached nearly all of the time, the disease had so affected my stomach as to seriously im pair my digestion and my nervous system was almost mined. I knew no rest from trouble night or day. "The constant strain on me had com pletely broken me down. 'Did I endeavor to get cured?' I had tried nearly every thing and doctored with and CONSULTED THE LEADING SPECIALISTS on catarrh and ear diseases. They would profess to be able to cure me, but none of them seemed to understand my case, how ever, and this treatment instead of curing me seemed in reality to aggravate my case. I almost despaired of ever being any better, when my attention was attracted to the Elcctropathic Institute of 507 Penn avenue, Pittsbnrg, and its method of treatment. "I called on the physicians in charge and they made an electrical diagnosis of my case, discovered the true nature of the disease and pronounced it curable. The re sult has verified their verdict. I am cured. Every one of my horrible symptoms are gone, and I feel like a new man. My catarrh, my deafness and the discharges from my ears are thoroughly cured; My general health is better than it has been for years, and my exhausted nervous system has been completely built up, and, in fact, I AM A tVELL 3IAN and have been able to resume my occupa tion and suffer no inconvenience whatever from my old trouble. I cannot too, highly commend the physicians of the Elcctro pathic Institute for their skill and science, their perfect and varied electric appliances and their intelligent use of them, us shown in my desperate case." This young man is, as has been said, very favorably known in the village of Port Perry, and his rapid and complete recovery from an apparently incurable disease of years standing has given great surprise as well as much pleasure to his numerous friends there.

Sankey, aunt of the great evangelist, Irn Sankey, re siding at 115 Lacock street, Allegheny. Mrs. M. A. Sankey, 115 Lacock street, Allegheny. "My throat was the part most alfectcd. I suffered terrible pains, both sharp and dull. It felt ns though a band of iron was tightly bound around it. I could scarcely speak without the effort causing me pain. To swallow caused mo great sutfering, and the food I attempted to swallow would nearly clioko me. Tho act of chewing my food was attended with almost unbearable pain. "I had some of the best physicians in tho two cities attending me, yet they all were in doubts as to my trno ailment. They did everything in their power yet I steadily grew worso and worse. Together with tho above trouble, I suffered greatly from neu ralgic pains, supplemented by nervous pros tration, until I became so bad that I shared tho belief of my friends that I would never regain my health. "I at last decided to seek tho assistance of the physicians of the Electropathlc Institute at 507 Pcnn nvenue, to alleviate, if possible, my sufferings. "Their first treatment was followed bv .marked improvement, and in a short time fHBfc mv pains, acnes anu ailments disappeared as if by magic. Although S3 years old, 1 am en joying as good health to-day as ever before In my Ufo." Electriati" Iislte, 507 PENN AVE., PITTSBURG, PA. (Do not. mistake the number.)
