New Novitiate In Sydney.-Such is
the growth Of the work of the Sisters
Of Charity here that plans have been
made looking toward the erection of
new novitiate. The time has come
when a wider sphere of usefulness
must be entered, and the Sisters have
been forced, through the lack of &C
commodation, to provide larger
building for the young women who de-
sire to be trained for the works Of the
Congregation. A site has been pur-
chased at Longueville, and it is plan
ned to erect large commodious
building. The Sisters of Charity of St.
Vincent's Convent, Potts Point, Sgd
ney, are the pioneer nuns of Australia.
Five Sisters of Charity landed ut Bot
any Bay in 1888. During the early
days they had their hardships and
difficulties. The Order has had not
able growth, and now counts $50 liv-
ing members. For u years the Sis
tiers have worked in the cause of char
ity and for the advancement of educa-
ton, both primary and secondary, and
the success achieved has spoken for
itself.

Mark Scene of Uganda Martyrdoms.
Obstacles encountered by the mis-
sionaries in the Vicariate Apostolic of
Uganda are described in letter re-
ceived by the Propagation Of the
Faith Society, New York, from Bishop
Streicher, Vicar Apostolic. The Bish-
op expresses his thanks for a recent
donation of $500 sent through the so
ciety for the purpose of erecting
chapel in the region made sacred by
the blood of the twenty-five martyrs
of Uganda. Explaining the situation
there he writes: "The Blessed Mar
tyrs were put to death successfully
in the course Of three days and in
nine different places, three of which
have been exactly located. OF these
three places, which are the property
Of three native Protestant chiefs, one
is called Mityana and it is there that
the Blessed Noe Mawaggali was pierre
ed with lance and tied, still alive,
to tree to be devoured by dogs. A
shoot of the tree still exists, but the
owner of the sacred ground is Prot
estant chief and he obstinately refuses
to sell it to us; we hope that he may
change his mind some day. About
two miles from the place the mission
possesses a piece of land where a
catechist resides and it is there that
the chapel will be erected as near as
possible to the spot where Blessed
Mawaggali suffered martyrdons."
Honor Polish Hero.-Poland recent
ly honored the memory of one Of its
greatest Catholic heroes when the
body Of Archbishop Felinski was re-
inferred at the capital, after having
lain for many years in modest grave
on the Felinski family estate. The
reburial of the famous patriot Arch
bishop of Warsaw was made the oc-
casion of a great popular demonstra-
ton. The body was placed in y spe-
cially prepared vault in the ancient
Cathedral Of st. John where a fitting
monument later will be erected. Arch
bishop FelinsH was one Of the lead
ers in the Polish Rebellion of 1863,
during which he courageously defied
the government of Russia, addressing
to the Gear a declaration Of the right
of the Poles to fight for the freedom
of their country and the liberation of
the serfs. At time when Lincoln
led the American nation in its struggle
