 At the evening service in the lecture room the subject considered was: '"The climax of life.'' The rehearsals for the coming Belshazzar con- cert continue to be of interest, and a full house for both evenings is well assured The Monday evening session proved that F. H. Stiles understands how to train a well-chosen chorus, and S. F. Linsley knows how to drill soldiers. Costumes are now in preparation which will add greatly to the interest of the occasion. The Fri day evening rehearsal will be held at Hamden this week. Mrs F. Crockett of Cheshire, who was so well liked at the time of the Haymakers' entertainment, is leading voice in this chorus
 The good Friday morning service at St. Johns church was the longest attended and most in- terestinE service ever held in the church Good Friday. At the Easter morning service the seating capacity of the church was taxed to it's utmost The music, flowers and service through out were never exceeded in attractivensss and interest An unusually large number received the holy communion, and the offering was the largest ever made at an Easter service in this church. Tho evening service was also largely attended and very interesting.
 The music at the Congregational church for the year commencing April is to be under the supervision of A. B. Clinton, organist and leader A new chorus choir will be drafted into service. There are many good voices among the young people of North Haven, which only need to be developed to insure good choir for coming years Much regret is expressed at the departure of c. D. Robinson, who has proved @ very eff cient leader.

The Late William H. Herndon.

fTOu lLc NcW OIk W
 For the better part of it's knowledge of Abraham Lincoln posterity will stand in debted to William H. Herndon, who died at Springfield, H., Tuesday last. His son, aged twenty-three, had expired only six hours before him. His last words were an allusion to this: ''I am an overripe shsaf, but take fresher one with me-"
 MT. Herndon was MT. Lincoln's partner for about twenty years. At the bar they advanced with even step. They were not only business associates; they were devo- ted private friends. But beyond that their sought the shade, Lincoln tho glare. Herndon had no desire to accompany his companion into the broader public life which opened before them after 1856. He was content to celebrate the virtues and chronicle the achievements of his over shadowing friend. Immediately after the assassination he began to supplement his own recollections of MT. Lincoln by 8 compilation of additional materials.
 He visited every scene of MT. Lincoln's life previous to his election to the presi- dency; examined surviving acquaintances took their statements in writing and se- cured letters and other documents of value. His collection, conscientiously and system atically gathered, became the great maga- zine of materials from which every bio grapher of Lincoln, with any pretensions to accuracy, drew for the story of his sub ject, up to the events of 1860. Beyond that MT. Herndon laid no claim to special information. Lannon's life of Lincoln was constructed mainly from the Herndon's records. Nicolay's and Hays followed Lannon's for the better part of the period covered by Lannon's, and finally MT. Hern- don's, with the aid of friend, Jesse W. Weik, prepared the three volumes entitled "Herndon's Lincoln," published in 1SS9- the reviews of which are still fresh enough to render further remark unnecessary.
 MT. Herndon was more of man than he knew. He imagined that his only claim to distinction was comprised in his associ- ation with MT. Lincoln. He preferred to walk in the shadow of the man whom he deemed ''the first American" and he chose to employ his best powers in the exposi tion and the illustration of that life which he esteemed almost divine, believing that to set it forth honestly and clearly was as great and honorable public service as he could perform.
 To those who have followed the several Herndon narratives it is plain that MT. Herndon was not, in his relations to MT. Lincoln, the subordinate character he leaves us to suppose he was. He contrib uted decidedly to form the mind of Lin coin and to mould his career. But for Herndon the Lincoln of 1S60-65 would not have emerged from the dingy little law office at Springfield precisely what he was, nor would his history up to that pe- riod ever have been fairly told.

DEATH OF A LINEMAN.
A Horrible Accident Yesterday Morn ing Out Slate Street.

ing Out State Street.
 A fatal accident occurred about 10 o'clock yesterday morning near Neck bridge. The victim was Max Schram Of 58 Hallock street, 8 ineman in the employ of the Southern New England Telephone com pany. He was engaged in assisting in the erection of number of new poles under the direction of Foreman John Simpson. The custom in setting poles where line already exists is to dig hole near one of the standing poles, using the latter as a purchase for hauling the new pole into an erect position A hole had been excavated near one of the old poles and the new pole was being hoisted. Schram had ascended the old pole and was doing some work ne- cessary to setting the new pole. Suddenly the earth partition between the old pole and the excavated hole gave way. The pole came down with a crash, and under meath was the lineman. The heaviest part of the shock seemed to be across his head, one side of which was crushed. He was killed almost instantly. As soon as possi- bic Coroner Mix and Medical Examiner White were informed. Dr. White made the necessary examination and Coroner Mix will probably render verdict of death due to accidental causes. The deceased was about twenty eight years of age and had been in the company's employ abont ( year. He was married only last Christ mas

THE wOMAN,S EXCHANGE.
Aims and Preliminary Work of the
 Ladies in Charge of It.

Ladies in Charge of 1t. Much interest has been manifested in the exchange for woman's work soon to be
 opened for public approval and support in this city. There is no reason to doubt that if this interest continues New Haven will have an exchange of which it may be
 proud, and which will compare with those in other cities.
 The committee in charge of the project
 invite attention to these special points.
 They say: ''We shall aim at high stand
 ard, so that the public may find on sale
 work which will be the best of it's kind,
 whether artistic and decorative, or practi- cal and useful; articles often not to be found elsewhere and all sold on a business basis of full value for money paid. In the second place, we shall aim to give practi- cal help to women with limited or less than limited incomes, not only by the sale o their work, but by unobtrusive, kindly in terest and advice in connection with such work"
 As will be seen such an exchange is two sided, appealing to the public as most helpful scheme, whereby woman without the slightest loss of self respect or dig nifty, may receive fair compensation for her handiwork and as well ordered busi- ness enterprise often of great public con venience.
 The ladies in charge are putting forth every effort to make the exchange suc- cess, not only for it's own sake, but with a strong feeling of local pride in making it equal to it's sisters in other places. The work is already well organized and the opening assured for. April 8. Articles for the exchange are to be sent to 56S Chapel street, Young Women's Chris tian association, on or before Thursday, April 9. The following ladies' are en. gagged in the enterprise and are deserving of every success: Miss L. M. Phipps. chairman; Miss Hope, Miss Grif6ng, Mrs. F. B. Bunnell, Miss Rowe, Mrs. B. H. Cheney, Miss Susan Bennett, Mrs L. H. English, Miss E. c. Hall, Miss Manson. Mrs. J. O. English, Mrs. w. E. Barnett, Mrs. Tracy Peck, Miss Lewis, Mrs. c. W. Vishno.

@ following May, 171S, they received

The following May, 171S, they received permission from the general assembly to embody themselves in church estate, and in October of that same year ordained the Rev. James Wetmore as their first pastor.
 The meeting house was begun in 1717 and completed late in 1722. It was a plain wooden structure without steeple or 'terret." Two doors furnished admission, one upon the west and one upon the sout sides. Its dimensions were 30x4O and it stood near the southeast corner of tho present old cemetery. This location was very nearly or quite in the middle of the ''market place" or "Green."
 We must think of this early structure as rude in the extreme. Interiorly gallery was built upon two sides. There was but one pew in it, and that MT. Wetmore was graciously allowed to build at his own ex- pense.
 ROUGH BENCHES FURNISHED THE SEATING facilities. It was built by "days works and at Todd times" They had no money ion it but their own. The day it was raised, President Stiles records that the men were all there and sat around upon it's timbers. This he heard from his fatn- CT, who had it in turn from the venerable Nathaniel Thorp, drummer for many years to call the parish to worship.
 The children of the nineteenth century, accustomed to the towers, roofs, spires, arches, recesses, pillars and multiform angles of the modern church edifce, turn carelessly, perhaps scornfully, the leaves of some story of colonial days whereon the crude artist may have pictured some cruder temple, once fashioned from New Eng land wilderness.
 Such treatment should be everywhere discouraged. The priceless legacy of the old Connecticut meeting house, and the saintly atmosphere that surrounds it, should be kept next to the counsels of Jehovah as 8 most godly heritage.
 Everyone had part of the burden to bear in it's erection. They built themselves into it inch by inch, and it grew to be "bone of their bone and flesh of their fesh,' but barren and unattractive as it seems to us, it was palatial to them be- cause it was the house of God, the gate of heaven.
 Dye grand old souls of 1888, who hewed your first temple from the oaks on New Haven bay, right we'll was the solemn les son learned by your children when they fashioned their first altar out of the woods of North Haven in 1722.

Cautain JuItu. Koch Dead.

Captain Julius Koch, who has been in a critical condition for the past few days at the hospital, died yesterday about 3 o'clock. He had been at tho hospital since February 8, suffering with an abscess in the neck. He was about 6fty-seven years of age, and came to this country at the close of the civil war. For nearly twenty years he taught the German language and fencing, much of that time occupying a room for the purpose in the Insurance building. For years he taught many Yale students the art of fencing, and was very popular. He had no family or relatives here, and lived by himself in an adjoining room. His face and figure was familiar to all near the center of the city, and his large commanding form and military ap- pearance always attracted attention.
 Captain Koch, after coming to this coun- try, spent some years in Virginia, and in 1868 was summoned to this city by Gen. eral Won Steinwehr to assist in the prepa- ration of gazetteer of the United States and also in making large wall map of the country.
