India's history, down to the Sewn feenth century, is largely a chronicle .\#f barbarism, internecine wars, inva- •ions and Oriental intrigue, with a growing European influence In the jmoct accessible districts. The vart country was teeming with wealth of a port that attracted Europe's covetous eye. The Portuguese woi. ft commercial foothold there, only to. be driven from power by the Dutch, who in time were crowded out by English and French. Last of all, the French wererouted by the English, until, by 1700. England practically ruled India, (.'live.

Thus, by 1856, ull India seemed fcafe and moderately con tent under British domination. True, there were countless fanatics andv^n kcrnpulous native rulers who waited only the opportunity to rebel; but for a long time they lacked the chance. That same "chance" came about in «n unforeseen fashion. Like most ' misfortunes of this sojdU---It was thought about and thfn augmented Pj blunders on the parrVof. the British government. » « ! " -: Several English regiments had been /Withdrawn from northern and central teidia to serve in the Crimean war. 1>Uhere were away in Burmah. These departures left barely eighteen white regiments available for action. Several of the moqt important arsenals and garrisons were in charge of the Sepoys. At about this time the En- • field rifle was adopted for use among the Sepoys. In loading the riilctJt was necessary to bite off the end of the . cartridges. These cartridges were coated with grease. They were also * packed in glazed paper. The foregoing facts deem mere trifles, yet they brought on a bloody insurrection. "The Sepoy regiments were made up of Mahometans and Buddhists. As tbe >, English very well knew, the Buddhists and Mahometans alike are forbidden by the most sacred laws of their re Ugion from eating or even handling {iork. At once it was claimed by native rulers, agitators and fanatics that <l|»e fat of swine was used In greasing l«f* ^.urtrhJjws ui.d glazing tlie puj»er. Tb this wastKkled the rumor that the government wafe^seeking to force the native troops to ehibrace Christianity 1 by making them vk^late their own creed. At once fanaticism blazed into furious revolt. A devout~-Ohrlstian could not be more indignant ay being commanded to stamp on the Cruc ifix than' were these Moslem ana Hindu devotees at the order to defile their souls by handling and tasting pork-far. Several Sepoy regiments refused to receive the cartridges, and even rebelled. They were disbanded, and the government tardily "called in" the hated articles of ammunition. On May 2, 1857, a cavalry regimen was ordered, by error, to bite tin greased cartridges, in loading theii guns. They refused and were forcib! - disarmed. This was the signal fo: general revolt. At Meerut, a few miles. northeast of Delhi, the Sepoy and townsfolk rose together, ma* j sacred the British garrison and whit<'| residents and marched to Delhi. They captured the latter city and made it the headquarters of the mutiny. Th whole Bengal presidency (revolted ant' Europeans were massacred wliolesah amid the most unspeakable outrages Nana Sahib, maharajah of Bithur. loudly proclaimed his loyalty to the government, hut at the first oppor tunity went over to the mutineers. He besieged Cawnpore. On his sol' emn promise of safe-conduct the gar rtson at last surrendered. As soon as they were at his mercy he murdered them, massacring 210 English women and children who had sought refuge In tljp town. Lucknow and. other citlev garrisoned by the English were be sieged,? and throughout northern and central India British rule was neariv extlnct. The government at last awoke to the peril. Armies under Havelocfc, Out ran, Campbell and other generals were sent to stamp out the mutiny. Lucknow was relieved when at the last gasp, and within a year the final sparks of insurrection were quenched. Then the British wreaked fearful vengeance on their beaten foes. The mutiny brought about a rad leal change In England's mode ot rui lng her East Indian possessions.

All Cleaned Up for !: an Interview • 1 By RING LAKDNU »»•»»»»»»»•»»»»• To the Editor: The other wk. 1 was setting around tbecome wishing callers would come or something so 1 would have a excuse to mix up a cocktail when all of a sudden what should ring but the telephone bell so of course I thought at first it must be the wrong No. like usual, but I answered it and the girlie says Bridgeport wants you. So 1 said yes 1 suppose they do but I^an't live everywheres at once and then another female voice, spoke up and she said she was a repof-ter on the Bridgeport Herald and when could she get a interview. So I thought for the second time that they must be calling the wrong No. but soon 1 remembered who I am so 1 kind of snarled back at her like all the big birds do when you ask them for a interview but 1 didn't snarl po as she could bear me for the feal\ she would tliiflji It was a snarl and would han£ up and ?n<3 it all, and little by little got tnore friendly and she said she would be over the foiling Tuesday. So then the botfi of us hung up on each other and I come back Into the parlor with a kind of pale look and the Mrs. said who was that woman and I said she is a reporter on the Bridgeport Herald. What does she want? ^ Sh£ .war,£ lp lulerviey me because i $m notorious. Yes but yo^ been notorious ever since yott-^ere kiddlsh and nobody wshtejl to interview you till now^ , .Wtli 1 said the N. Y.,City papers Vias started the fashion by interviewing George Maeterlink that can't even parte anglais and this lady Is going to show them up by talking to a poet witch can say something back besides oolala and anyway Khe is coming over here next Tuesday to see me so t^ats that. Yes replied the Mrs. .but when you used to interview notorletys like Ty Cobb and Jessie Willard for instants, why you done it without going to no bother like seeing them. So 1 said shut up and between that day which wa6 a Thursday and the foiling Tuesday 1 took light exercise and read and eat a good deal and things went along about as usual without no marked change till Jhe Monday night when 1 begin to feel a little diuy right after the supper and 1 thought at first it must be something I had eat of something till 1 of the kids happened to make the" remark that tomorrow was Tuesday and then it flashed on me that all that stood between Jhe Bridgeport lady and was a ordinary Monday night in the summer time. But was It a ordinary Monday nlgbt god- forbid. I retired early and lay there and tossed and read the story ol Joseph Hergesheimer and tossed some more until It must of been fully V o'clock when 1 droped into a light doze witch came to a surVien terminus at 7:90 Tuesday A M. and it was broad day and 1 gbt up itnd shaved myself and dressed the latter and came down la breakfast. Already tbe women folks was cleaning up the parlor In honor of the occasion emptying the ash trays, chairs and etc. /TVy was a sensation when 1 entered the dining room where tbe 8 elderest children was working on their prunes. , How do you happen to be up said CLASSIFIED AD/ERIlSEMENTl USE THE CLASSIFIED.
