Archbishop Ryan will be the third American Cardinal, the others being Car- | dinal Gibbons and the late Cardinal Mec- Closkey. Archbishop Ryan was born near Thurles, Treland, in 1831. He was ordained a priest in St. Louis on September §, 153, more than fifty years ago. He was made co- | | adjutor Bishop of St. Louis in 1572 and named Archbishop of Salamina by Pope Leo XIII in 1884 On the death of Arch- bishop Wood in the same year Archbishop Ryan was made Archbishop of Philadei- phia. SAN QU S ot a guard ernocn came very near causing a disastrous rt the walls of the prison. Sixteen hundred conviets, infuriated because ome of their fellow-inmates was being beaten for a slight infringement of prison discipline, attempted to wreak vengeance upon the penitentiary officer. The trouble occurred at 2 o'clock. The prisoners had been to their meal and were just filing out of the messhall. One con- vict left the line to obtain a piece of paper with which to wrap up some pieces |of bread he was carrying to his cel That he was out of line was noticed by a guard, who struck the convict on head with a cane. The convict fell to the ficor. In a moment hundreds of desperate men turned upon the guard. Other guards, about forty in all, came to his assistance and he was rushed out of the messhall with 2 howling mob at his heeis. The enraged men yelled, “Kfil him. " but the guard reached an outside gate, went | through, and was safe. After some difficulty the men were brought into line again and marched off to the cellhouse, where “lock up” oc-| curred at 3 p. m. The affair has been kept very quiet at the prisen. The offi- | cials will not dvulge the names of the convict or the guard, declaring that such matters if known outside would only ex- cite more trouble inside the prison. The main facts of the disturbance, Lowever, they will not deny. S T | MEETING OF PROPAGANDA. American Questions to Come Before the' Congregation.
