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, 1t was decided to
build a church IN a narrow little plot
which would bring the saloon within
200 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 a 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 a church ac-
cording to the letter Of the law, but
not 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 q 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 1t is not regularly
needed, and Lenox road as a whole
will be glad to see it go.

SPITE CHURCH TO co
. MINIATURE STRUCTURE IN
BROOKLYN WILL BE RAZED,
Built to Defeat a Saloon Keeper, But
Failed Of Its Purpose-compIete
in All Details.

Brooklyn's so-called Spite church"

the little church now sits will be put

The little spite church" is at No.
81 Lenox road, just off Flatbush ave-
nue.. 1t is in a district inhabited by
Brooklyn's best class of citizens, and
not a few of them will be glad when
the tiny structure is tom down, for it
is a reminder Of a 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.
ly at the time. Sides were taken and
many former friends became enemies.
Though most of the people living
along the road s~ympathiZe with the
purposes of the party who had the
church built, they did not sympathize
with the al 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 a saloon on
Lenox road. About five years ago a
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 a saloon in the corner build
ing. There was no saloon on Lenox
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.
After trying by appeals and pro-
tests to prevent the opening Of the
saloon, they decided on a new tack.
According to the laws of the state,
a saloon cannot be opened within 200
feet of a church. The Park Side

How i Young kansan Under the Re-

How i Young kansan Under the Re-
quirsd Height Got Into the Army.
Charles L. Dagan Of Keats. Kan, .
young army recruit who enlisted in
Kansas City and left with a squad Of
recruits for Jefferson barracks, ear
st. Louis, is probably the shortest SOL
der In the United States army. His
height Is 8 feet 2 inches. He was ac-
copied only on the recommendation OF
President Roosevelt, to whom he wrote
explaining the situation after he had
been rejected on account Of his height
at the auxiliary recruiting station at
Topeka early In April.
Dagan had entertained the hope OF
becoming a soldier for a number OF
years. He Is now twenty-five, and,
having no one dependent upon him, he
went to the recruiting station to enter
the service. He passed a rigid exami-
nation save for his height, but the
news that for this reason he could
not become a soldier did not deter him.
He had decided to become one, and
promptly wrote to President Roose-
welt, explaining the situation. He
made an earnest appeal to the chief
executive, and the frank, earnest man
ner In which he couched his plea
seemed to strike the president as that
Of a man who would make q good
soldier.
This Is probably the first instance Of
m acceptance Of an application for
enlistment In the army when a dis
crepancy of two inches in the required
height existed. The minimum height.
as stipulated by the war department,
II s feet 4 inches.
Dagan is Of almost perfect build.
weighs 100 pounds and has a five-inch
chest expansion. He expressed a de-
sire to enlist In the cavalry and be
sent to the Philippines. At Jefferson
barracks he will be assigned to a regi-
ment Of cavalry under orders or pre-
pairing for orders for Philippine serv-
ice.

PROPER TREATMENT OF BURNS.
The Use Of Flour or Oil 10 Strongly
DEPRECATED

D0pTSCdISOs
In cases OF burns death may be due
first to a%sphyxia; 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 a
burn is to dust -four over \. or to cover
it with oil, and, indeed. even in some
comparatively late text books on sur
gerry a mixture known az "Carron oil"
is advocated.
The use Of such applications can
not be too strongly deprecated. and,
indeed, II 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, II there is any in the
house. 1t 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 they are excellent cul-
ture media for bacteria.
