ST. BRIDGET'S RECTOR.
Bishop Wigger Appoints
Rev. Father Ryan His
Splendid Career.

Bishop Wigger announced yesterday
afternoon the appointment Of Rev. Father
John F. Ryan, who has had charge of the
Catholic Protectory at Arlington for a
number of years. to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Rev. William H.
Dornin. of ST. Bridget's R. c. Church on
Montgomery street.
Rev. Father Ryan was born in Dover,
this State, thirty-six years ago. and re-
ceived his education in the. parochial
schools of that city. after which he en-
tered Seton Hall College. from which he
graduated with high honors. He was or
dained in 1887 to the priesthood, and his
first assignment was as a curate in the
church of which he has been just made
rector.
After a number of years of faithful
work in St. Bridget's Church, he was put
in charge of the Catholic Protectory at
Arlington, which office he flied to the
satisfaction Of his superiors. who greatly
appreciated his grand efforts and the
manne IN which he conducted the affairs
of the Protectory.
filled by the Rev. Father Moran, who was
TfSt assistant at ct- Joseph NitultAl Ills
city, up to a few weeks ago.
St. Bridgefs Church is one of the larg-
est in this diocese. but is still cucumber
ed with a large debt.
The late Father Dornin. during his
term as rector for six years, cut down
the debt of the church over $4,000, but
there still remains a debt pon it. and as
Rev. Father Ryan is known to have the
ability of reducing church debts, it will
not be long before the church will be
clear under his able management OF at
fairs of the parish. The new pastor is
well known by the parishioners Of St.
Bridgets and will not come to this city
an entire stranger.
Rev. William A. Keyes will remain
first assistant to Rev. Father Ryan, and
he will lbe of great assistance to the new
rector in the duties of the parish. Rev.
Father Reyes is one Of the hard working
kind. and was of great assistance to the
late Rev. Father Dornins who performed
such excellent work in st. Bridgets, botn
for the church and the poor of the par

Mclean Is All Right.

The vEditor's Of the Estate Gazette IS
ueculiarlv sapient. this morning, over the
course of Hudson's new Sheriff. Speak
ing of the changes made by Mr.. Mclean,
he says
He knew that his hands would pc slsu
to some extent II the men Wiz continued
ii Office as his assistants, and ne vsty
wisely and very properly discharged
them.
This is mere humbug. Mr.. Mclean
discharged the men for no such reason.
He did it to make places for Republicans.
The sGazettea goes on:-
HIS action will, no doubt. bring a howl
from the threats of the Democrats VINO
are opposed to partisan appointments
when they are made by Republicans.
Not at all. Mr.. Mclean acted strictly
within his rights. The Sheriff is re-
sponsible for his employees, and all his
appointments are purely personal They
are not public officials. They are en-
ploves Of the Sheriff and ne pays them,
and also shoulders the consequences OF
their acts. Then, why should not Mr..
Mclean put in his own friends, Assured
". we have not the beast complaint to
make. on the contrary. in retaining Mr.
Heavey as Under Sheriff and Miss Rose
Murray as Matron Of the Jail, Mr.. Nc
Lean showed liberality and good judg-
ment and regard for the welfare Of the
public, the W employees in question
being notably efficient and popular.
AS for Mr.. McLean'sR Republican appoint
merlts, they seem to us to show that he
has more political shrewdness and party
loyalty than any ten leaders Of n or all
the factions rolled into one.

proceedings for the release from custody
of Jackie" Casey a complaint was
sworn to in Judge Mogans court for
Casey's arrest on the charge of grand lar
ceny and he was booked at the City Pris-

1t IS alleged that on May Casey or

from Felix Block, a tailor, al 1l9 Sutter
street He called at the shop on May 10
during Blocks absence ana left. taking
with him the suit OF clothes and overcoat.
Block identified him in prison and also
the suit of clothes, although Casey had
buttons and cutting out Blocks name. :,
Casey denied to the police that he had
ever seen Block or ordered any clothes
from him, asserting that he purchased the
suit in Sydney, Australia, but later he ad-,
mitted procuring il and the overcOat and
said he had almost paid off the debt.
He has a large number of aliases, in

was known as Angus on the steamer
Mariposa. as A Cooper in Australia. and
he registered as F. Watson at the Lang

sovereigns from the steamer Alameda.

FROM SLAVERY'S AUCTION
BLOCK TO LEGAL BAR
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
COS Broadway. Aug. 81.

90S Broadway, Aug. 81.
The opportunities offered the lowliest TO
rise and advance in the fields of the higher
professions in this country were again
demonstrated yesterday when Thomas
Pearson, aged 40 years, a leader in Afro
American circles and a resident of this
city off and on for the past fifteen years,
was admitted by the Supreme Court to
practice his chosen profession, law.
Attorney Pearson was born in Warning
ton, n. c. His parents were slaves, and
his rise is that of one who at the tender
age of nine years was sold as slave on
the auction block. He was purchased by
the Raleigh and CASTOR Railroad Com
pany which intended making mechanic
of him, but the downfall of the Confed-
eracy resulted in his liberation and fhat
of his parents. The family came West
and settled in Vallejo, where the free pub
lie schools brought out in bold relief young
Pearson's capabilities.
His political movements during his lat
ter years as close adherent and advo-
cate of the principles of the Republican
party are well known. He has developed
oratorical powers Of no mean quality and
has stumped the State with some of the
most distinguished political speakers in
the interest Of the party he claims secured
his emancipation from the chains of
slavery.
In the early eighties Pearson attended
as delegate the Afro-American Conven-
tion held at the time in Washington, D.
c. He was chosen first vice president of
that body and presided with fitting dig
nifty over its second session. Though nom
fraternal. his modest yet genial disposi-
tion and ever readiness to help those who
are struggling with lifes battles has won
for him friends whose number is legion.
He has pursued the study of law for
several years, and through diligence, fru-
gality and closeA application has. sur
mounted the many difficulties that lie as
obstacles in the path that leads to the
bar of the legal profession.
