CALCUTTA India.-It is serious 1g-
porance of the worlds big news to be I'M
aware that there is at present in INDIA
widespread sentiment of resentment II not
actual revolt. against Great Britain, when
may at any time find sporadic expression
in revolution Great Britain, with the SELL
confidence of the strong, does not seem 10
be paying much attention to the matter
although some persons, recalling that TINS
year marks the fiftieth anniversary OF the
mutiny, are nervously calling pubic at'eh-
ton to certain disturbing signs.
Any one who gets as close to the natives
as the missionary does-whiCh is far closer
than any other white man-knows That the
foremost subject of thought and agitation
among them is what they consider their
wrongs at the hands of the government
They claim that they are being dealt with
in high-handed and oppressive fashion:
that they are denied anything approaching
q proper measure of self-government; that
the public offices are open to them in
decreasing degree, and that. in short, India
is being ruled for the welfare of Great
Britain and not of India.

We want the power that comes through

Some of US have important decisions to
make before September. Heed then the
word of an English writer who says: THE
man who approaches a decision in the
strength OF stillness-a stiffness occasioned
by his communion in the secret place-may
implicitly trust his judgment and step out
without fear"
Quiet moments, quiet hours are likely to
beget contentment of spirit and that Is
another grace in which We may grow as
the summer passes. For very likely we
are situated that discomfort can easily
be fomented. Our vacation Is shorter than
somebody else's. We see as we go about

of good fortune, with houses and lands.

Hot-Weather Virtues.

Is it right to classify the virtues and
pick out certain ones as more suited to
certain seasons than to others? Strictly
speaking, honesty Is as essential In De-
cember as in July. Meanness is as much
out Of place in March as in September.
Nevertheless the summer furnishes splen-
did and exceptional opportunity for the
cultivation and expression of certain graces
of character AS the athlete welcomes the
summer because 1t brings a chance to sleep
in the open air and to take long tramps. so
the man ambitious to attain moral excel
lence should greet the summer with a cheer
because 1t calls for the exercise OF MS
moral muscle and provides valuable courses
in spiritual hygiene. t.,

suitable fashion, and during the exercises
many beautiful flowers were deposited on
the bronze slab in the public square which
marks the spot where he was put to death
400 years ago. This great Dominican. with
two of his brethren in the order. was hung
upon a scafrold. and their bodies burnt and

that a few days after the execution some
women were found at dawn in the piazza
kneeling in prayer on the stones where the
three martyrs had been burnt. And every
year flowers were found strewn on the
same spot. which pious practice was con-
tinued for more than two centuries and dis
continued only to be revived number OF
years ago.

scene of his birthplace, and he passed his
academic life at Manhattan College, New
York. Deciding to become reiiS!ous,
Father Chadwick enrolled himself at st.

1887 was ordained to the priesthood by
Bishop McNierney. His first assignment

Love thy neighbor as myself
Father Chadwick considers that from the
standpoint of spirituality sufficient credit
has not been given the men that constitute
the strong arms of the nations defense and
means of preservation-the army and navy.
The people at large, he thinks, have not
taken the pains to familiar1ze themselves
with and thoroughly appreciate the devo-
ton and bearing of the rank and hle OF the
army and navy. If they did so. he said,
there would be no necessity to have so
many ships out of commission. as at pres

site and groundwork of spiritual goodness.

New York. This condition has proved a
menace. he says, to the people of his par
ish, and for the past two years he has been
foremost, it is said. in endeavoring to have
the matter remedied. Father Chadwick
says that for the past forty years there
has been an average of from eight to ten
deaths yearly these tracks. The New
York legislature has passed a law to have
the tracks condemned. he says, and COM
mittee is now at work on plans providing
for their equitable removal.
In connection with his parish work, Fa-
Their Chadwick is also the chaplain of the
New York police force. He said that these
minions of the law are rapidly increasing
in efficiency and esprit de corps, under the
ski.lful guidance of Gen. Bingham, who IS
we'll known in this city as popular ex-
ecutive of public buildings and grounds.
Gen. Bingham is the best police commits

Father Chadwick. He is an exemplary

character"
Father Chadwick was much pleased over
his visit to Washington for the encamp-
ment of the Army and Navy Union, which
he says was the most successful in the
history Of the organization. Besides attend
ing every session of the encampment he
found time to visit the Juvenile Court and
other local correctional institutions, in
which he is much interested, and a number
of personal friends. During his term in
the navy he was for time the chaplain at

Europe has to present to the intellectual
traveller. Considering how strange it is that
in this little spot, amid the barren noun
tains near Rimini, republic should have
existed with It's peculiar laws and customs

wonder is that curiosity does not lead more
tourists to put San Marine on the list OF
