I Irritated at his defeat in the last

■rducted into office, the Mayor Call-
Bit them to him and declared he had

prom the date of the last election on
inust be dean shaved. ,
1 Saddened, but loyal to their new
fcdices, the neophyte councillors sub
mitted to the barber and appeared
■>r the inauguration with faces as
■arc as baby’s arm.
S Mayor Tzatzikyan made the mis-
Hkc of laughing ns he handed over
Hie keys of office. The new couu-
H.-lors looked up the records, dis
®vered the deception, and hulled the
H-nmyor before their own court

Hieory is that (Sod made man in his

Sacrilege.

Bi the new churches, such as the so-
Synodical or "Renewed

A GREAT EPIDEMIC OP
cholera in mianghal'l
Hundreds of Cases apd Many Deaths,
Missionary TVMttofc
MadisOnville, Tenn., Sept. 2.
"Shanghai is having the worst epidem
ic of cholera in of
cases and many deaths and if you
could only see Shanghai as well as any
other place in Chinn, with ail the -dirt
and flies, you would not' wonder.”
T’iius._ in- part, reads a letter re-,
reived fiere from Miss Maggie Dixon,
a nurse at the Kiangyin Christian
Hospital in China, telling of the ter-
I rible cholera epidemic.,
Tlie letter was written to her aunt,
Miss Vira Everett, of Madisonville.
| “You can’t get it into their heads
1 that the disease is carried by flies. A
\ Chinaman will buy a slice of water
j melon which f .ias been carried up and
I down the street for hours black with
| flies, and eat it. An hour later he
|is dying wijh cholera. But if he
should get well, he would do the same
thing tomorrow. So there yon are.” ,
Miss Dixon's letter went on to de
scribe the unusually hot weather
China is having.
The nights are too hot to sleip and
the days are worse, she says.
Miss Dixon has a large oifcle of
friends in this section. -She has been
in China for six years.
Miss Dixon will get a furlough the
first of next year and will Sail for
America, she said in the letter.
Local church workers will enter
tain her while she is here.
Trained psychologists will here
after examine undergraduates at
Brown University as to their wor- [
ries, doubtß, despairs, love, and hates. |

“that’s where I got it.”
