Theater Kates That
TRACT THE MULTITUDE.
Topics to Be Discussed in Our
Cliurcli Tulpits.
FROM CHURCH FIELDS
fair to loe its prestiee for
jome of the most pronounced
ohmeu of late years have hailed
j Scotia. Amon;; the new depart-
I'rotn old-time way is a plea for cheap
.eaters from a Dundee pulpit. The fol
lowing is a clipping from a Scotch paper:
The Hcv. J. II. Crawford, preaching in
Cattle Street Chapel, Dundee, on Sunday
evening, drew attention to the good which
he believed would result to Duudec if some
other outlet than the streets were provided
foi their semi-savage elements. A city like
Dundee ought to be thinking of providing
for itself all sorts of elevated amusements
for its leisure and higher taste. He advo
cated the establishment of a subsidized the
ater. Tucre w as money enough in Dundee.
Half a dozen merchants could build a thea
terandnot teel any the poorer after the
effort. They would not be dependent
on m hat they got out of it. The build
ing Mould be free from gaudy ornaments,
simple and impiessive, the music would
charm the most exacting taste and et ap
peal to the popular ear, the scenery would
be natural, and every man and woman
would be an artist. There wouldbe thesatis
jaetion in raising Dundee to the level of
the most pronounced of Enpli-h provincial
towns, or even of that of London ilsell, and
ol providing their sods nnd daughters with
a resort where they could be at once entcr
t Kinod and cultured, and accustomed in the
most delightlul wav to all that was most ex
cellent in ait. vvliat thev -wanted was a
place where the poor could go, not only
where nothing debarring could be seen, but
whe'-e precisely the noblest conceivable in
fncnees would be brought to bear upon
them in precisely the most attractive way.
He did not know on whose phouldeis Elijah's
m.intle would fall whether the theater was
to be the cliurcli of tho tutureor not but he
l.ticw this, that they could make very dull
people nnderstand in the theater; they
could mike very callous people weep in the
theater: and- thev could make very vicious
and bad living people ashamed of them
selves in the theater, and this at least was
iu the direction of doing the chuich's woik.

THE NEW PIPE LINE.
Work Will Be Commenced on It Near
Oabdale This Morning.
EVIDENCE THAT CANNOT BEDENIED
Increase in Production, Knns, and Stocis in
the McDonald Field.
ANOTHER CROP OF WELLS ALMOST DUE
The Producers' Oil Company will have a
gang of men at work this morning laying a
pipe line from a point about a mile north
east of Oakdale to Coraopolis. It is
already" building a refinery and iron
tanks at the latter place, notwith
standing the statement to the con
trary published in a cotemporary.
If the writer of the denial, who Has evi
dently been duped by interested parties,
will leave Fourth avenue long enough to
visit Coraopolis or Oakdale lie will soon
find that he bas been entirely misinformed
in relation to the work now being done by
the Producers' Oil Company. It is no secret
witli the farmers through whose lands
rights of way have been secured,
or with the workmen, that the Pro
ducers' Company is back of the work
now being carried on, even though
an attempt may be made to keep the facts
from "scouts" who never see a field except
on an office map. Xearly all of the capital
stock of the Producers' "Oil Company has
been paid into its treasury, aud its officers
are not the kind of men to allow al
most 5600,000 to lie 'idle when
the money was subscribed for the
purpose of building refineries and
constructing pipe lines. They realize that
the sooner they have the works completed
and commence operations, just so much
quicker will they realize on their invest
ment. They are consequently, pushing the
work as fast as possible, and before the end
of the present year they will probably be
able to offer tlieir product to the public.
The woods are fill of such "wormy
chestnuts" if the cotemporary's scout will
go out and gather them in.
An Increase All Around.
There was a general increase in the Mc-Donald-McCurdy
field yesterday. Owing
to the agitation of a number of weils, and
their increase inproduction, the estimated
production of the field went from 39,000 to
G0.O0O barrels. There was also an increase
of 1,!X51 barrels in the rims, and an increase
of 2,000 barrels in the stocks in the field.
The biggest increase in any one well
was at tlie Forest Oil Company's No. 4 on
the Herron farm back to Xoblestown. It
was drilled a few minutes late Thursday
evening, and the first hour thereafter ft
made 250 barrels, a jump of 175 barrels an
hour. Yesterday morning it was doing 200
barrels an hour. The Oakdale Oil Com
pany's Xo. 4, on the Wallace farm, was on
tojrofthe fifth sand last evening, and will
be drilled in to-day. The same company has
started to drill its Xos. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
and 11 on tho- "Wallace property.
All of these wells are J4jst north and west
of "Willow Grove station. Their Xos. 3 and
4 on the Morgan heirs' farm are below the
Gordon sand and should be in the fifth
early next week. No. 2 Baldwin, also be
longing to the Oakdale Oil Company, is be
low the Gordon, and their No. 1 on tho
Hutchinson farm, 500 feet northwest of the
Matthews heirs' well, has made several
flows from the third sand. Their No.
4 on the McMichael farm in southwest
McCurdr is near the fifth, but as it stands
full of oil from the fourth sand the drill
is going down slowly. No. 3 on the same
iarm is below the Gordon.

Johnson lot, was a few ieet in the Gordon
sand yesterday, and madesevcralgood flows.
It is" near Laurel Hill station. His No. 3,
which is being drilled to the fifth sand,
struck a strong vein of gas in the fourth
sand. It is making 135 barrels a day from
the Gordon. Guffey, Murphy & (ialey's
No. 5. on the Elliottfaim, is drilling in the
fifth sand, and is not showing for even a
moderate sized McDonald producer. They
are starting No. 2 on the Council farm.
Hawlcy & Co.'s well, on the schoolhouse
lot atNoblestown, is reported as-showing
light in the third and. McNall & Co., on

CRITICISMS.
120 "Some fair trios," Wurzburg. "Key
move not obvious, but if black plays Q to Q
5, white mates in three different ways,"
Johns. "A good flight square problem, but
the necessity for a second pin of the Q i np-
Sarent," Tracv. "Fair." Keeney, "Key not
ard to find," "Catlin.
121 "Very stupid, Wnrzbnrg. "Tho
thieatened check gives it away, but it is met
very neatly," Tracy. "Tricky," Keeney.
"Mating positions not very good." Catlin.
122 "Neat and tidy. The key move is
somewhat bindimr, but the mates are vei-y
fine." Tracv. "Very poor key," Wurzburg.
"A most exquisite gem," Clio. "All prniseis
duo to this magnificent gem," Jacobs.
123 "Tho Rook obviously moves and it is
not hard to discover where," Catlin. "A
verv good problem, but the position of the
Rook indicates that it is to bo utilized to soil

The above positions are well known to
checker players, who are conversant with
published play, but how many people who
play checkers for a lifetime know nothing
of them. It is for the benefit of oar youn-x
players we give these three standard prob

has acquired by playine with a man short.
A close study of problems such as the above
wonldlend us often to sacrifice a man for

Joseph Maize.
The snblect of our sketch wns born on
April 13, 1860, in the parish of Kilsyth, Scot
land. He commenced playine checkers wnen
he was 20 years of age, and very soon became
proficient iu the game, and one year after
he entered the Lanarkshire Tourney of 188L
In the second round be met the famous prob
lemist, D. Gourlay, and wns defeated by the
scoro of 2 -wins to 1, and 1 game drawn.
He came to this country in September, 18SL
and bought his first book on the game in
1883 (Janvier's Anderson). Ho soon gained a
reputation asan analystand critic, nnd prac
tically recreated and popularized "Second
Double Corner" opening. In 1886 he pub
lished in the D. P. W. M. an analysis of 63
variations on the above opening. John Rob
ertson (author of "Robertson's Guide"),
bitterly attacked the analysis, showing 17
errors in tho 63 variations, and that only 3
or Ins alleged corrections were sound, a
lesser margin of errors by 30 percent than
have been shown on hta (Robertson's)
double corner, published in same magazine
at the same time. Our young analyst got a
setback on tho center opening when he
challenged Wyllie, the world's champion,
to a match, and would allow the draws as
wins; but before the final stake was up he
discovered the draw and wisely paid forfeit.
His correction of the 27-23 loss in the sinzle
corner shows a sound draw for white,
thatBeattle, of Liverpool, makes such pre
tentious claims for ex-Champion Martins;
but if priority of publication goes for any
thing, which it certainly does, it belongs to
Mr. Maize, he having published his analysis
in 18S9, which is ahead of anything Beattie
can show for Martins. Mr. Maizo has cer
tainly demonstrated undoubted ability in
cross-board play, and has acquired a reputa
tion for throwing a piece and making a
draw with a man short, possessing the
faculty In a wonderful degree for working
into third, fourth or Drinkwater position.
(See diagram above.) He visited Chicago in
1888 and 1891, and, though no scores were
kept for publication, yet against such play
ers as Hcfter, Denvir 'and Crowell, he made
a record that no player need be ashamed of,
his score with James P. Reed in his last two
sittings on November 29, 1891, being: Reed, 5
wins: Maize, 3 wins; drawn, 6. We think
the above a sufficient answer to the query a
few weeks ago, Who isMaizetinthechecker
column of Life, the editor of which
sarcastically refer hiacorrespondent to the
checker editor of The Dispatch. Mr. Maize
now holds the gold badge, representing the
championship of Pennsylvania, and if Mr.
Sherrow or any other aspirant to that high
honor thinks he can defeat the present
bolder, now is the time to come forward. Mr.
Maize ttnnds ready to defend his title against
all comers.
WYLLIE' ANSWER TO BAKKER.
.The following letter was received by Rob
ert McCall, of the Glasgow Jlerdld, in reply
to Mr. Hill's letter, which we gave last week.
Sir In answer to Mr. Hill's letter I beg
leave to state that, if Barker wants me to
play him in any neutral town in Eneland ho
must get some one else to pay his expenses,
ir I am to pay his expenses, tnen the match
must be played in Glasgow. I might as well
ask Mr. Barker to play me in Canada and al
low me X20 for expenses. I shall need to
have my tour over before I finally arrange
for the match. I am, etc.,

CHECKER ITEMS OF INTEREST:
W. C. Brown, or Altoona, who was the
guest of Mr. R. W. Patterson at the Homo
Hotel for one week, left for St. Louis on
Satifrday evening with the last line. Mr.
Brown was'grently handicapped owing to
his accident some time ago.liaving his leg
injuicd, and only able to go around on
crutches, and we Imvo no donbt that his
poor showing in the tourney was duo to that
lact.
Mrs. AVill S. Andres, the champion lady
plaj-er, bettor known as Mrs. Okey. pre
sented her husband two weeks ago with a
fine boy, whom they predict will be a fit
successor to C. F. Barker to the champion
ship of America, which they consider of as
much importance as to be President of the
unueu scales.
Peter Cunningham, Jr., of Dinsmore, Pa.,
writes us he was very sorry he could not be
present on Thanksgiving Day to see the
tourney, his reasons being he had received
the addition of a newmeinberto his checker
household, and the extra moves required on
such occasions are well known to the most
of checker players.
The Minister and the Laird's WirE Many
years ago there lived in the "Glessart," a
parish in Lanarkshire, an old minister
called M'Boodle, famed both for the length
and- "dreichneis" or his sormonsand his
lovo for the game or draughts a love wfiich
was only equalled by the "Squire,"
M'Boodle's greatest crony. One Saturday
night tho two having sat down to their
fnvorite game, played so evenly that each
lost and won a game alternately, and to
know which was the winner thev always
played "J 1st anither game," Thus they
went on till far on in tho Sabbath morning,
when the "leddy," probably feeling the bed
cold, came down to see what had come
over nor lord. Seeing the minister and her

Mr. R. W. Patterson, of the East End,

headquarters will be transferred to Pitts
burg. This would tend to show Chicago has
little sympathy with anyone who lias to
take a secondary place. If Reed does return
to Pittsburg permanently, we predict it will
be some time e're he nsrain meets Barker. An
old player suggested the other day: "When
Reed wants to redeem tho title ho has lost,
let him wait nntil be can put up bis own
money, let him back himself, lor in most of
his matches with Barker her has lost more by
carelessness than by being out-played." The
above plan would certainly remedy that de
