TABRIZ, PlUiSIA,
Doc. H, I'M HI.
DKAll CllKISTIAN KXUKAVOKKUS:
I take tho liberty to write you a
letter, hoping that you may tied
use for it in siiiiio missionary
meeting of your Society. I look
hack with a groat deal of pleasure
to thn evenings spout in C. K
meetings, nud appreciate more
than ever before their helpful
ness, now that I am separated
from them.
There are many subjects of in
terest upon which I might write
the Educational Department,
consisting of a Boys' School and
a Girls' School; or the Medical
work, consisting of two dispen
saries uuder the care of Dr. Brad
ford and Dr. Vanneman; or tho
Evangelistic work connected with
the little church iu Tabriz - but
passing by these, 1 wish to de
scribe brielly a visit to a leper
village. It was two weeks ago
yesterday that Dr. Bradford in
vited me to accompany her and
Miss Beaber on a visit Vo a leper
village about teu miles from the
city and I was very glad to ac
cept the invitation.
We started about tor, o'clock in
the forenoon on horseback, and
rode about four miles before get
ting out of t lie city. Our progress
through the narrow streets was
frequently interrupted by droves
of d nikeys with their loads of
wood or wheat or flour sticking
out on each side, making it difii--cult
for us to pass. There were
many half-naked beggars lying
on the cold ground stretching out
their hands for "shies" a small
coin worth one-sixth of a cent.
After leaving the city, our jour
ney lay across a mountain pass
over which was only a narrow
path. We had to ascend slowly
and carefully, for the path was
tilled with rocks and stone
Here, again, we met the omni
present donkey; und, also, two
caravans of camels bringing loads
from a distant city. After rcaeh
ing the top, we gulloiod over a
level stretch of road with greut
relief, und then began to descend
on the oilier side.
We had not gone far, wlim: Dr
Bradford announced that we had
reached the sjiot where she al
ways stop ted und ate a lunch,
when visiting this village, ami we
did not wish to violate her cus
loin. So we stop ted hero and
ule our lunch pic nic fashion
while we enjoyed the scenery
about us.
We could now see the leper vil
lage in the valley below us a lit
tle valley bin-founded by mount
uins, and separated from the rest
of the world that nature seemed
to have provided for those poor
outcasts, Tho vil'ago consisted
of a mud wall about ten foot high
enclosing about ten acres of
ground. Within this enclosure,
the mud hut were built against
the wall, forming u hollow square.
Jn the centre was a mosque -thir
place nl worship.
Tl.e lejoi s now saw us, and an
ticipating cur intentions, bo;.'iin
to rolled outside the wall. Alter
ruling our lunch we descended
the step path by walking and
leading our horse s. At lb" loot
of the mountain, we crossed a
mall stream dij.'nilied by the
name ol "river" and soon airbed
lit the Village. As these people
do not often have visitors, our ur

o. neru w as one man iu uie ii-i
lage who could read u little, and
he came carrying a New Testa-
i ment which a missionary bad giv
en him. ile uud Dr. Beaber rend
together tho story of the Prodigal
Son and she fqioke to thein of sin
and its evil effects. Ilor exposi
tion of the truth was given m a
very informal manner, after ask
ing them questions, and being in
terrupted by questions from them.
During the conversation she ask
ed them if there were any sinners
there, and they replied that there
woro not. She told them that we
are all siuners. nnd all need a Sa
vior. After this she prayed for
them and she and Miss Beaber
taught them two or three versos
of a simple hymn. I could not
speak to them, not knowing the
language, but could only sit by
and pity them.
There are two forms of loprosy
both of which were represented.
The first is called tuburcular and
causes the body to become swol
len, to have a purple color and
to be covered with sores. Tho
other is anaesthetic, so-called lie
cause its victims lo;-o .ho sense
of touch which makes it danger
ous for them to go about at night
or to go about the fire. They of
ten burn themselves severely
wiinoui Knowing it. Jt causes
the body to have a very white ap
pearance. Its victims look like
dead persons walking about.
We saw the disease in several
stages little child ren iu whom
the effects could scarcely be seen,
grown up young people whose
lingers wore beginning to drop
ml' and upon whom the effect was
very evident, finally, old per
sons whose ti Mirers and hands
.re all gone in many cases and
only stumps of arms were left.
their noses entirely eaten uwa.
ami their faces terribly marred.
I. think any one who has ever seen
a leper will never forget the sight.
I am sure I never will. Aud yet,
this is a description of only
the loss afflicted ones who were
able to come out. There were
probably as many more in their
iiuts who wvro even worse aflliet
ed. After these services, we went
inside the wall and looked into
the mosque. It was simply a
mud hut a little larger than the
others with a mud Hour and with
out a single piece of furniture.
'J 'hey said they would gather
there every day and read the Bi
ble and repeat the words Dr.
Bradford had spoken to them.
Then we looked into one of the
native dwelling huts. On a mud
iloor lay an old man trying to
Keep warm with a few rags. This

door uud tried to speak but his
Voice was entirely gone so that lie
could not even whisper. He could
on'y oiiit to the sores on Ids id
most naked body and seeing we
could do nothing for him, turned
and walked back to his bed of
in inland raps, there toawait death
us his only relief.

the bight and start home.

Reasons Why It Should He Va
cated. '
As was stated last, week, cit
izens of Bedford county are mak
ing an effort to get rid of the
tu it. pike nuisance, and tho Bed
ford (Jazet to gives the following
as reasons brought out by the
thirty-live witnesses testyfying:
"That the penile of the county
should own and control the pub
lic highways rather than have
them under the control of private
corporations; that this turnpike
was the link in a great thorough
fare which was constructed years
ago for the purpose of meeting a
demand thallium existed for. a
good, substantial road for through
fraiiic to and from the great cen
ters of population; at lhat time
there was no lojal demand lor a
road of this character, and the
ide-i v.ns that the road should Vie
kepi up by tolls collected from
through truttie; the conditions
under which that road became a
necessity have chauged and in
stead of the road being maintain
ed us it was originally, it is now
kept up by tolls collected from
local travel, and has become iu
iu that way a burden upon the
people living along the line of the
pike, us well as other citizens of
tho county; that there are uow
ti'.o to!! .rates upon the branch of
the read in this county instead ol
two t oil-gates, us it was some
years ago: that the tolls charged
are a serious hindrance to trade
and travel; that this road could
bo kept up by the people of the
townships in as good, if not bet
ier, condition and at u much loss
oxpo-iso ihun the amount of tolls
paid, for 1 in' reason that the bulk
oi toe amount collected is divert
ed to other purposes than improv
ing and repairing the road, that
the bridges at. Juniata Crossings
ami tin? Marrows have become
dangerous and worthless and
are not safe for the ordinary pur
poses of travel; that the oilicials
and representatives of tho Turn
pike company have frequently
notified parties passing along the
mad that if they went through
these bridges they did so at their
ow n risk; that the bridge at the
Crossings depends for its sup
port upon one guy wire, which
might break' at any time; that
the road-bed is no better than
the main country road and is not
kept in such condition as the
toll-road should be, but is level or
hollow iu the center instead ol
rising to a gradual arch toward
tin? center, as ihe law creating
turnpikes requires them to be;
that if the amount of money coii
tribi ted by the people of the
county iu the way of tolls would
bo kept in the county and used,
as it necessarily would be. iu the
improvement of farms by limine
and in other ways, which the
people of the section of ihe coun
ty throu;'h which the load puss
i -. are denied by reason of the in
creased cApeiiso of hauling duo
lollie large tolls, it would enhance
the Mihie of real estate ill a er.y
