THE BELIGIOUS WORLD The Fall Campaign Against the Ad versary Kow Fairly Opened. MINISTERS STROKG FOR THE WORK. Timely Topics That Will Be Discussed in Our Fnlpits To-3Torrw. GLEANINGS FKOK THE CHUKCH FIELDS The fall and winter campaign against the enemy of souls is now fully opened. Preachers have all returned from their summer vacations, and are, it is hoped, stronger for their work against the great adversary. That they will have plenty of work there is no doubt. The enemy never ceases to sow tares while the shepherds are taking their rest. The daily .newspapers furnish evidence sufficient that the preacher's occupation is not pone. Their name is legion who walk the crooked paths of evil and recent events fur nish plenty of topics for the ministers who would cry aloud against the sins and follies of the times.

Reed, a nativo of Pittsburg, and C. F. Barker, of Boston, Mass., will com mence their match of 30 games, restricted, on Monday at 2 p. m. in Chicago. This will, without doubt, determino who is America's best player. We have always held that the present champion, J. P. Reed, was the best. This match will decide, and though opposed to Mr. Reed's claim to the world's champion ship, nutil he earns it, we are in sympathy with him in this contest with Mr. Barker, and we aro confident he will win for the simple reason wo consider our fellow towns man the better player. Wo will bo very much surprised if llr. Reed does not show Mr. Barker conclusively, as Mr. Freeman has done, that he is not in it But tw o weeks from to-day will decide the whole matter, and those who have built their hopes of tho title of champion of America eolne to Bos ton with Mr. Barker, may bo sadly disap- J pummu. Tne Dispatch has perfected arrangements to have the match and its progress daily recorded, and our many readers will find a reliable account each morning on the sixth page until the match is completed. Checker Items of Interest Tho sensible remarks of tho late T. P. Bull, of tho Detroit Free Prcsi, with regard to chess, nold equally true of draughts. He says : "Many chess players have a jealous regard for a little local reputation, and, un fortunately, avoid encounters on all oc casions except when victory Is certain and easy. The consequence is that they soon find their own play deteriorate, while the disinclination to hard games becomes strong er every day. Ho advises his readers not to evade a conflict, whether they are in or out or play. They may rest assured that time will work a right conclusion. The courage ous combatant may lose an odd game when indisposed, but he will preserve his racnlty unimpaired nay, strengthened. A chess reputation Is not made by the eain or lowered by the loss of one match. It grows out or an average in a course or years. Tho winning or games is but little; the manner In which they aro won everything. A game won by fine play tends to the advancement of tho science; a victory due to an opponent's blunder counts for nothing." Antiquity of Draughts. The great an tiquity of the game of draughts has long been the theme of its admirers, and is well authenticated, mention or the game being found in tho classical literature or Greece and Rome, and sculptured representations or the board and men recovered from the mined cities of Ancient Egypt, after having lain buried for a period or over 4,000 years. In ilnspero's Egyptian Arctwcblogy, published In 1S67, occurs the following confirmatory rererence to the came, which wo are sure will be readby all Its admirers with great in terest: "The Egyptians, naturallr lausrhter loving and satirical, were caricaturists from an early period. One of the Turin papyri chronicles the courtship of a shaven priest and a songstress of Araon in' a series of spirited vignettes, while on tho baok of the same sheet aie sketched various serio-comic scenes, in which animals parody the pursuits of civilized man. An ass, a lion, a crocodile and an ape are represented in the act of giving a vocal and instrumental concert: a Hon and a gazelle play at draughts; the Pharoah of all the rats, in a chariot drawn by dogs, gallops to the assault of a fortress garrisoned by cats; a cat of fashion, with a flower on her head, has come to blows with a goose, and tho hapless fowl, powerless in so unequal a con test, topples over with terror." That the game was then well known, and commonly practised, we may be sure, or it would not have been chosen as the subject of a caricature, probably representing, It may be conjectured, some well-known indi vidual's overbearing characteristics when engaged in play. The idea of the lion and gazelle engaged in friendly contest, with onlvthe board between them. Is exceed-. Inely comical; we pity the poor gazelle should he be fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to win. Leeds Mercury. Sir. Wyllie's totl score at London is 340 games played, of which the veteran scored 272, lost only 5, and 63 were drawn. He a!so contested 43 gnmes at Woolwich, of whioh he won 33, lost 1, and 4 were drawn. On Mon day, the champion commenced his Bristol engagement and up to our latest advices had played 33 games, two of which were drawn, and the remainder scored by Mr. Wyllle. Mr. R. W. Patterson, of this city, had a long letter f rOm the chnmpion of tho world, expressing his sincere thanks and gratitude for tho $100 he -sent to compensate for his money unjustly forfeited to Mr. Reed in the late dispute.

Claimed and Proved by the Physicians oftheElectropathic Institute. Testimony From Prominent People of Notable Work. Mr. Thomas McGreevey, residing at Fort Perry, in speaking of his recovery, said: "Catarrh and catarrhal deafness made my life miserable. Tho discharges from my ears were large and most distressing. My head ached all tho time. I had stomach trouble and my food distressed me. My nervous system was completely shattered. 27ioma McGreevey, Fart Perry, Pa. "I had about given up nil hope or getting cnied. when mv attention was called to the Electropatliic Institute, or 007 Penn avenno. "I called on the physicians in charge, and after making a carelnl diagnosis or mj case, pronounced it curable. The result has amply verified their verdict. My deaftiess, catarrh, stomach trouble and nervous affec tion have all disappeared. In fact, stating it briefly, I am cured," Paralysis Cured. "I can scarcely describe my sufferings since I was stricken with paralysis over five years ago.'' said Mrs. John Fields, residing at 30 Beaver avenue, Allegheny. Everything I tried failed. As a last resort I concluded to try electrical treatment as applied by the physicians of the Electropathio Institute, 507 Penn avenne. "The first treatment I received enabled me to lift my arm, something I had not done for six months before. I improved gradually until now I can walk around unassisted. I unhesitatingly recommend these physicians and their methods." Chronic Itheumatlsm Cared. Mr. J. Palmer, one or Pittsburg's most estimable citizens, living on Lawn street, near Craft avenue. Fourteenth ward, in giving hi3 statement, said: "Every muscle and nerve throbbed with pain that was almost unbearable. My movements were attended with excruciat ing suffering. I consulted the physicians of tho Electropathio Institute, who said my case was one of chronic rheumatism, and asnrod mo they could cure me. Their promise is rnlfllled beyond my highest ex pectations, and I have only words-of praise to offer in their behalf." Years of Suffering. Tor more than five years I suffered as I did not think it possible for a human being to suffer and live," said Mrs. Mary J. Con fer, of No. 113 Lacock street, Allegheny. "I was first stricken with rheumatism. To this was soon added the pains and twinges of neuralgia. Then insomnia, or sleepless ness, augmented my other ills, and I was in a stato bordering on frenzy, All remedies seemed powerless to aid me. "As n forlorn hope I determined to try electricity, and applied to the physicians of the Electropathio Institute. "To make a long story short, after a regular course of treatment I am entirely cured of all my troubles." 507 PENN AVE., PITTSBURG, PA., (Do not mistake the number.)
