THE CHECKERED HISTORY
oFTHEO OLD FIRST PTIST CHURCH
 EDIFICE,

Built by a Generous Man for Free
 Gift-Reverses Prevent It-A Notably
 Tall steeple's Fato-Church Once
 Burned.
 The sale, recently consummated, of the First Baptist church, facing the Wooster green, to the St. Michael Ital- ian Roman Catholic church for $25, 900 recalls to the mind of the older inhabi- tant of the city the long and varied ca reer of the edifce.
 Chauncey Jerome. at one time the mayor of this city and the head of the New Haven Clock company, built this purpose of presenting the same to some worthy Congregational society as a place of worship.
 Before the completion of the building ex-Mayor Jerome was overtaken by financial reverses that rendered the making of such a costly present prac- tlCdlly lllipOoSiDlt. ApOut IlltS tilllO lIO First Baptist church, which had been meeting for years in Skiff's opera house afterwards Pnoctor's theater-was looking for more commodious quarters. Hence when ex-Mayor Jerome became financially embarrassed the Baptist congregation took the unfinished struc- ture off his hands and occupied the same upon it's completion.
 Rev. Dr. S. Dryden Phelps, who was ministering to the religious wants of the church at this time, continued his pastorage for many years in their new location. Upon his death Rev. pr. Pat tison, who Is now a prominent profess sor in a Baptist seminary In Roches- ter, took up the leadership of the church. Following him were Rev. Dr. Stifier, Rev. Messrs. Buttricks, Mason and Moore, the last named being the present pastor.
 The career of the church in the Woos- ter square building has been marked by destructive attacks of the elements. Tn the latter part of the f1fties the steeple was blown down, fortunately taking a course toward the green, as houses would have been destroyed on any of the three other sides. This de- struction of what was at that time con- sidered the highest steeple in the state brought many thousands of sightseers to the lower green to inspect the re- mains thereof Later fire devastated the building, burning up the roof and interior, the walls being the only part left. The present structure was rebuilt about these walls
 Now, in accordance with a move which has gradually covered that sec- tion of the city, this church comes into the possession of the Italian Catholics, while the Baptists will probably locate upon the fine plot on Whitney avenue.

GOLF AND ITS ETIQUETTE.
There Are Many Little Actions Com
sidered Bad Form When Play
ing the Game.

AS in cycling, so in golf, is etiquette
most important. The observance Of it
does much to make or mar not only the
pleasure but the success of the game.
The woman contemplating joining a
golf club has not only to master the 54
rules of the game, but she has its eti-
quette TO learn and to put into practice.
If she aims to be popular member Of
her club she will do well to rememb ber:
That it is better to be seen and not
heard on the golf links when a game
is in progress, good driving requiring
absolute concentration of mind. That
a woman who chatters necessarily, and
is especially communicative just when
a critical drive is about to be made is
not the most desirable of partners.
That standing SO that a shadow falls
upon your partners ball is not only i'm
polite but detrimental to the success of
your partners play. That standing on
the putting-green, after you have
'holed out" whether it is to gaze at
the scenery or write down your score,
will eXasperate the best friend on earth,
if he or she happens to be playing be-
hind you. That to play first, and to
shout fore afterward is apt to add
insult to injury; "fore" is called as a
warning that "drive" is about 10 be
made, it is not an expression Of con sola-
ton after one has been hit.

THEORY OF SUNSTRCKE.
An Infectious Disease-Is not Due to
Heat or TO Exposure to
the Sun.

DR.. Sambon adopts what to many will
be a startling theory to explain the ac-
ton of sunstrCke, says the Los Angeles
Times. He regards this affection as not
due TO excessive heat or exposure o the
sun, but to an infectious disease caused
by a specific organism. He attests the
fact that strOkers, oven cleaners, min
ers and iron workers are exposed to
temperatures higher than those of any
known climate without ever contract
ing the malady, and that the Assam tea
planters and the closely shaven Chinese,
although constantly working in the
hottest sun, are equally exempt.
DR.. Samhon, discussing the gecgraph-
ical distribution of the disease, goes on
to prove that the areas in which it is
epidemic are strictly defined. While
unknown in Europe, it is &c ~mon in the
low-lyirg regions Of the eastern United
States between the Appalachians and
the Atlantic. 1t extends along the Nile
sea, the Red sea and the Persian gulf.
1t prevails in The Indo-Gangetic alluvial
plain, but not on the al .iacent Indian
highlands In support Of his infection
theory DR.. Samb refers 10 the occur
renee Of epidemics which have frequent
ly decinated hosrita, wards and not af-
fecttd men exposed to greater heat and
srn. The demonstration of the organic
oi."in OF the malady rests on its dis
tribut:on etiology. morbid anatomy and
epidemic character. The specific or
ganism has not been detected, but DR..
Sambon's vestgations incline him to
the belief that it lives in the superficial
layers Of the soil, an! is conveyed to the
lungs or almentary canal by dust.

Such suffering as rheumatism causes the
