His mother is still resident Of the up
per section Of the city. He has one
brother, William B. Chadwick, who is in
business here, and sister, who is a
nun in the Convent Of the Sisters Of st.
Joseph, Peterboro Canada.
Young Chadwick grew up under the
watchful eye Of the founder of St. Ca
briel's, the venerable Father William H.
Clowry, we'll remembered as one OF tho
pioneer priests Of the East Side. His early
years were spent in the parochial school,
where he had the Christian Brothers as
his instructors.
He was an apt and dilingent pupil, and,
though loving his books, was equally
eager to participate in all the boyish
sports and ventures Of his comrades.
When he had finished his term in the
parochial school he was sent to Manhat-
tan College, whence after the usual class
ical course, he received his bachelors
degree, and was graduated with the class
Of 1883. He then elected to give himself
to the service of the church, and, being
RECEIVED as Il diocesan student, went to
make his theological studies at ST. lo-
seph's Seminary, Troy. These were COM
pctcd in the subsequent four years, and
he wsts ordained priest by Bishop Nc
lnerncy on Dec. /, 1897. Archbishop Cor
rigan then assigned him for duty as as
sistant 70 the Rev. Charles H. Cotton,
rector of ST. Stephens church, East
Twenty-cighth street, where lie remained
until his appointment to the navy, March
25, 1895.
When asked Father Cotton yesterday
to tell me something about the now fa-
nous chapain's personality, he answer
ed:
WELL there Is nothing too good that
you could say Of him. During the eight
years he was with me here found him
an Ideal priest. know many young
priests who have special characteristics.
but few who unite SO many attractive
and brilliant personal traits as can be
found in Father Chadwick. He has Il
cheerful, winsomc temper und a most
keen and ready, but 1t is never used to
inllct the slightest pain on any one.
"He Is an eloquent and fluent speaker
and his clever, handsome face reflects a
Tho zcaousncss and fnithfulness of his
attention to the sick and poor of the par
ish here were really remarkable. We
who knew the man, and what IL trying
position that OF II Catholic chaplain in
tho navy is, were we'll satisfied when
Archbishop Corrigun named him for the
commission that no mistake had been
made. Tho scenes in Havana as well as
his whole record in the navy, have
amply justified this appreciation Of his
sterling character"
Father Chadwick has Il strong ath-
ctic frame, standing five feet six imrhc1
In height, and weighs 100 pounds. In
the mess room his companionnblc and
lovablc disposition makes him a general
favoritc with his brother officers Among

whose faults and lachcs arc usually only
the result Of his traditional convival dis
position.
1t is likely when Father Chadwick re-
turns to New York his friends and ad-
mircrs will join in rendering him some
special mark of recognition of the part
he played in the Maine disaster.

HOLD A CHURCH SpIRE.
hornets Refuse to BE Driven Out Of
Their Home and Stop Work
of n Contractors.

Hornets have not only stopped work
on new church spire for the Wall
Street Methodist church, says the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, but are likely to
cause lawsuit between the members
of the church and Contractor George
Lynch. Lynch contracted TO build the
spire, but in tearing down the old one
a nest of hornets was found. The little
insects routed the workmen, several
of whom had narrow escapes from
death by falling to the ground when
s1ung. Sulphur and fire were tried,
but after the steeple had been set on
fire once and the flames barely extin-
guished this plan was abandoned.
Lynch wants to finish the work, but
says he cannot tackle the hornets.
The church people are getting very
impatient and threaten to sue him.

MISS NORRIS ACCEPTS.
She VIII Succeed Emily Huntington
Miller at Northwestern
University.

President Rogers and the trustees of
Northwestern university at Evanston
H., have received word from New York
that Miss Mary Harriott Norris, prom
inent in the east as an educator and
author, had accepted the position of
dean of the woman's hall and assistant
professor in the English department.
She was selected by the executive com
mittee of the board of trustees to
succeed Mrs. Emily Huntington Miller,
who resigned from the chair in June,
after having been at the head of the
hall for seven years. DR.. II. ID. Shep-
pard, who went TO New York last
week, ostensibly for the purpose of
negotiating a loan for the university,
was authorized by the committee to
confer with Miss Norris and receive
her final decision. Miss Norris had
partially accepted when the offer was
made some time ago.
In English literature Miss Norris is
well fitted to fill Mrs. Miller's chair as
an instructor. III addition to her ex-
perience in governing young women,
which she acquired while conducting
a private school of her own for young
women in New York, she is one of the
best-informed women of the country
and is a novelist of no small reputa-
ton.

A LONDON INNOVATION.
manager Maurice Grau VIII Intro
duce the Representation of the
NibeIungen Cycle.

Manager Maurice Grau has returned
to New York from Europe. His early
return is caused by the desire to COM
plete some of the arrangements for
the approaching season of grand opera
at the Metropolitan opera house.
One OF the things which require at
tention is the scheme TO repeat here
the representation in complete and un-
abridged form of the Nibelunpen
Cycle. This was the success of the
recent London season. The perform
ances begin at four o'clock. There is
an intermission of IA hours for din
ner, and the final curtain falls at IL
O'Clock. Mr.. Grau was not certain that
this scheme would be acceptable at
New York, but is inclined TO make the
experiment. This he said when inter
viewed on the subject of the season.
One of the features of these London
performances la Baireuth, was the
arrangement Of the Cycle" dinner
served at the Savoy and Cecil hotels
Inc menus were, so to speak, epit-
omlzed, and the service was accele-
rated.
oemprlch is TO be heard in the Bar
Der of Seville" in Don Pasquale," and
IN The Daughter of the Regiment"
lie prophetic" is TO be revived with
Jean de Reszke and Marie Brema in
the cast. Eames, Melba and Calve will
all sing their familiar roles. Schu-
mann Heink is expected to make hit.
As TO Schalk, who is TO conduct the
Wagnerian performances. Mr.. Grau is
confident that he will be liked. He
would have preferred to engage Felix
Motif or DR.. Muck, but their obliga-
lions were such that they were not at
liberty TO accept his offers.
The season is to begin on Novem-
Der IS, it is TO last II weeks, and will
comprise 81 evening performances and
IL matinees.

a friend, II was in danger doubly as
great, for the past two years, and, unlike
our soldiers, had no defence from my

"Who was your enemy" he was asked.
Diabetes" was his answer. "Diabe-

Spanish bullets since Spain was a

This is how Dodd's Kidney Pills have
gained such favor in our state. They
have saved thousands of lives.
Diabetes cannot exist when Dodd's

Ferdinand Linke was one of the best

knew himself, he had no confidants.
and the scions OF nobility who came to
him for relief when in need of money
did not much care what was his his
tory so long as they got his gold.
The fortune of e2,O00,OO0 which he
possessed was acquired by frugality
that was miserly, and by a stern sac

the nimble sixpence. Beginning with
few pounds, which he loaned TO cos

III he was supplying clerks at rates
that varied from 200 to 300 per cent.
per annum. AS he increased his wealth
he made greater loans to bigger men
and charged them good round prices
for his advances.
There came at last a time when al
most every young British rake had had
dealings with Ferdinand Linke, who
loaned money to all who had prospects
OF any kind, provided they would agree
TO pay enough interest. The old man.

FROG SKINS.
As q Last Resort They Are Used for
Grating Upon . Girl Who
Was Burned.

At st. Luke's Homeopathic hospital.
says the Cincinnati Enquirer. girl is
undergoing skin repair for an ulcer re-
sulting from severe burn of the arm
received three years ago. Every pos
sible effort has been made from time
to time to get the raw surface to heal
but the flesh was gone nearly to the
bone, and the arm was so contracted
healing would not take place.
The surgeons at the hospital about
three weeks ago put the patient under
ether and Strengthened the arm, and
then took small strips of skin from the
thigh and transplanted them to the
ulcer. Some of these skin CRAFTS have
attached themselves to the ulcer and
are growing. The ulcer has thus been
diminished about one-half.
Finally frogs were called into serv-
ice. About one and a half dozen of
these were secured by boy from the
ponds round about, and, after getting
the arm exposed and prepared for the
purpose, the frogs were pinned on
their backs to a board, and the skin
from the breast removed with scis-
sors. AS each piece was removed il
was placed in weak salt solution and
then carefully transferred to the new
surface of the patient. In this way the
ulcer was covered in. Over the CRAFTS
PROTECTING was placed, and the arm
wrapped up in gauze dressings, wet
with weak salt solution.
The patient appreciates the superb
ority of resort TO frogs rather than
robhng one part of her body of it's
skin to furnish another. The profess
sion will watch this case with consid-
cradle interest.

SHIELD OF WATER.
Pipemen To BE Protected While 1t
Work by Novel In
ventiOn.

really valua bic and unique patent
fire hose nozzle has been brought out
by large firm of English fire engine
builders. This nozzle is so constructed
that at moments notice the fireman
can shield himself from the heat be-
hind continuous circle of spray, says
the Philadelphia Record. Very often
in large confiagrations the heat is so
intense as to make it impossible for
the firemen to advance to the positions
where their hose would be most eff
fective, and it is in just such cases that
the nozzle would be most advantage
Gus. The shield of water can be made
as large in circumference as desired or
can be directed at any angle by a sim
pie movement of the milled head near
the extremity of the nozzle. When it
is required TO shut off the spray so that
the view may not be obscured the re-
verse motion of the milled head ac-
complishes the purpose. The entire
stream of water can be converted into
spray or a solid column of water can
be thrown with the spray shield for
protection as described above. When
the spray is punched to the front in
the form of torrent il can be used for
distinguishing fires among light goods
and materials which would be scat
tered by a solid stream. 1t is useful
on board ship for cleaning decks, ETC.,
and ii also forms an ideal spreader
for fountains, or ii can be used as a
tree sprinkler.
