BrookIyn's "spite Church."

church was further down the street,
on Lenox road, and did not come with
in the prescribed radius, so no objec-
ton could be made to Hesterberg's sa-
loon on this ground. So, to forestall
Mr.. Hesterberg, it was decided to
build church on a narrow little plot
which would bring the saloon within
zoe feet and thus prevent it's open
ing.
The church was duly built. 1t was
complete in every detail. but was a
joke as to size, being merely minia-
ture. 1t is about Is feet wide and
about twice as long. When packed to
it's capacity it will hold about so
souls. But it was a church. 1t had
a steeple, Gothic windows, and all the
usual details. Hence when Mr.. Hes
terberg tried to open his saloon the
matter was carried into court, but to
the chagrin of the church members,
the Supreme court, Justice Gaynor
presiding, held that the miniature re-
ligious structure was church &C.
cording to the letter of the law, but
mot according to it's spirit, and that
as regular church services were not
and could not be held therein, it was
a piece Of spite, and not church in
fact at all.
So the Hesterberg saloon opened in
triumph and the little church became
| known as "the spite church." and as
such often has been pointed out. The
Park Side church is now Presbyterian,
and sometimes uses the little church
as an annex for Bible and Sunday
school classes, but it is not regularly
needed, and Lenox road as a whole
will be glad to see it go.

is a reminder of trick" that they DO
not take particular pride in.
The news that the little church is to
go has revived a discussion that was
rife in the LenoX road district ABOUT
five years ago. 1t waxed acrimonious
" at the time. Sides were taken ana
many former friends became enemies.
Though most of the people living
along the road sympathize with the
purposes of the party who had the
church built, they did not sympathize
with the means that were adopted,
and most of them would be glad to for
get it.
The spite church was built by we'll
meaning church people in order to pre-
vent the installation of saloon on
Lenox road. About FIVE years ago
large structure with stores on the
ground floor and flats above was start
ed on the southwest corner of Flat
bush avenue and Lenox road. Mem
bers of the Park Side church, then in
the hands of a Methodist congregation,
learned that Henry Hesterberg, at that
time sheriff of Kings county, intend
ed to put saloon in the corner build

road then, and most of the residents
on the street did not want one on it.
Particularly did the members of the
Park Side Methodist church, many OF
whom lived on the road, object.

tests to prevent the opening Of the
saloon, they decided on a new tack

PROPER TREATMENT OF BURNS.
The Use of Flour or Oil Is Strongly
Deprecated.

Deprecated.
In cases of burns death may be due
first to asphyxia; secondly, to shock,
and, thirdly, to septicaemia, says the
London Hospital.
The medical man seldom gets to the
case in time to treat the first condi-
ton; the second is essentially a gen
eral condition, while the whole sue
cess in preventing the third depends
upon the immediate local treatment.
1t is therefore the last condition which
must be considered here. Among the
public it is a generally accepted idea
that the thing to do in the case of
burn is to dust flour over ~ or to cover
it with oil, and, indeed, even in some
comparatively late text books on sur
gerry mixture known as "Carron oil"
is advocated.
The use of such applications can
not be too strongly deprecated, and,
indeed, if the lay mind could be taught
that the best thing to put on a burn
before the doctor is called is a hot
compress which should contain some
boracic acid, If there is any in the
house, it is probable that the majority
of deaths due to septicaemia after
burns would be prevented.
For the whole aim and object Of
the local treatment is to prevent
sepsis; -four and olive Oil may be
soothing and may allay the pain, but
there is no antiseptic property in
them. rather thew are excellent c1ll-
ture media for bacteria.

sharply, saying:

simply what you are told to do, and
never a particle more or less !,
The midshipman touched his hat re-
spectfully, but he thought the rebuke
