Work Suspended.

Work on the Calvary Baptist Church
has been temporarily suspended. This
is thought to be only for short time,
however, and in order to allow
the finance committee sufficient time to
make certain collections on subscrip
lions. They saw the work could not be
carried on according to the contract un-
less the funds were in hand, and as
members OF the committee have been so
pressed with business. this portion of
the work has been delayed. They have
gone to work, however. and the work of
construction will soon be resumed.

LA GRIPPE IN CHINA.
Ten Thousand Persons SuccuIn0 to tho
Disease In Ono Day.

Ten Thousand Persons SuccuIab to tho
Disease in Ono Day.
Tho grip has swept over the Chinese
empire and hundreds of thousands of
natives have gone down before the
dread disease. 1t was in February that
the grip invaded the dcnsely populated
nation, and during the thirty days it's
ravages were felt the death rate IN
creased to enormous proportions.
An American, who is In the Chinese
customs service Mt Whampoa, was at
Whampoa ut the time the grip was car
rying away the Cclcstials by tho thou
sands.
"The Chinese did not know what dis
ease had broken out in their midst, and
hundreds of the natives know were
frightened to DEATH" said he. 1.-THE
Chinese physicians were unable to say
what disease was causing the enoc-
nous increase in the death rate, and
the result was Il panic. The Mongolians
imagined the evil spirit was demonstrate
ing his wrath by sending n plague
among them, and in order to head Off
the wicked fellows intentions they
went through the streets of all the
large cities beating drums The intcn-
ton was to drum the evil spirit out of
the country.
AT Whampoa- which Is ten miles
from Canton, the natives became SO
alarmed that they took down the big
drum which was built in the Joss house
there, and thousands of people marched
through the streets after the huge in
strumcnt. which was being pounded all
tho time by four or five husky China
men. From that time on the death rate
decreased, and the supcrstitious i'm
ngined the disease had been drummed
away.
II talked with several American
physicians who were travelling through
the country and they said the disease
was the grip. The symptoms were cx-
nctly tho same as the people who
were afflicted in this country expert
enced. During one week in Canton at
the time the disease was doing the most
harm fully ten thousand people in that
city alone were buried"
