DROPS DEAD IN CHURCH.
-Aged Saint" of Presbyterians Stricken
 With psrsIygIs.


 Pittsburg, Nov. 15.-The Rev. Dr. Dunlop Moore, the aged saint" of the Presbyterian church, dropped dead al the session of the Pittsburg presbytery, which was being held in the First Pres byterian church. He had just finished singing the second line of his favorite hymn, Jesus, lover of my soul let me to thy bosom fly" With the words of the song still on his lips the old preach CT staggered and then fell forward in the aisle. Drs. Smith and Harvey were summoned and said that death had been instantaneous, due to a stroke of paralysis.
 Dr. Moore was one of the best known Presbyterian ministers in the United States and one of the greatest linguists in the country. He spoke fuently thlr- teen different languages, many of which he had learned while doing mis- sionary work in the various countries that they represented.
 Dr. Moore was born on July p, 1850, In Lurgan. Ireland. and was graduated from colleges in Belfast and Edinburgh. During the early part of his career he worked as a missionary in many coun- tries, coming to the United States in 1875. His only charge here was as pas tor of the First Presbyterian church in New Brighton, Pa. Since giving 1t up, twelve years ago, he had devoted his entire time to studying.
 At the last meeting of the Pittsburg presbytery, one month ago, Dr. Moore aroused intense excitement when he expressed very forcibly his views on the question of temperance. All those at the session agreed to sign pledge abstaining from the use of intoxicating liquors. When the name of Dr. Moore was called he refused point blank to sign the pledge. He declared that, in his opinion, a drink of liquor was n good thing for man at certain times.
