Of the foremost candidates for nomina-
ton as the new American cardinal are
natives of the Emerald Isle. John Ire
land was born in Ireland in 1888. bet he
was only eleven years Of age when his
parents emigrated to America and set
tied in St. Paul. in which city he was
educated Archbishop Ireland. who has
always been famous for his patriotism
and his thorough Americanisrl, was
chaplain Of the Fifth Minnesota Volun-
teers during the civil war and was in
number of battles. He succeeded to the
See of st. Paul in 1854 and in 1888 was
promoted to archbishop. Just prior to
the spanish-Amerieqn war he came to
Washington and dis everything possibls
to avert the conflict. but when he sats
that war was inevitable he said: II have

Archbishop Ryan.
John Patrick Ryan. Archbishop OF
Philadelphia. was born in Ireland in 1881
and did not come to the United States
until as a young man he decided to enter
upon missionary work in the New
World. He became Archbishop of Phiia-
delphia in 1854. and has achieved a repu-
tation as a most brilliant orator. John
Murphy Farley, the new Archbishop OF
New York. is likewise d splendid repre-
sentative Of American citizenship. He
was born in Ireland IN 1s42-thus being
the youngest of the trio Of candidates
but studied in Troy. y. Y. and then at
the American College in Rome. Cardinal

Geographical Considerations.
In connection with the part which may
be played by the geographical divisions
of the church in America in determin-

note that when the first American car

Philadelphia had n candidate in the
field. At that time the most prominent
rival candidates were from the sees of
New York and Boston The selection of
Cardinal Gibbons did not provoke any
protest from either Boston or New York
because it was realized that the arch
diocese of BaItimore-an old Catholic
stronghold and embracing vast territory

GOOD FOR REIDSvILLE.

This Is carnival week In tho town Of
Rcdsville. N. c. Reidsvile Is somewhat
noted for enterprise and hustle. Fer
people are quick and energetic, and they
can find drawing card" and utilize
1t for revenue MS quickly and as energeti-
cally rs any people on earth. but they
found more than their match In tho
professional carnival managers, who
came to pull Off the big show scheduled
for this week. A negro named John
Broadnnx was hanged Mt Wentworth last
week for heinous murder, and the body
having been properly embalmed, was at
Reidsville awaiting shipment to med-
cal college. The professional managers
of the carnival thought they saw q small
fortune in that carcass, and they actually
entered into negotiations for 1t to be
placed on exhibition MS one OF the curios-
tiles OF carnival week. They had no.
tually secured the body and were nc
tually going to put 1t on 4 exhibition In
a tent as side show. This was a little
too much enterprise for the enterprising
people of Reidsville, ana they proceeded
at once to break up that part of the car
nival programme. The professionals pro-
tested and wanted to have their own
way, but those ReldsHlle people were not
to be trlfed with. and they said that car
cass had to leave town peaceably II pos
slble, but by vigorous force, II necessary.

That entire square was swept by the
fire of evacuation. but 1t was soon built
up again. A central location. and Its con-
venience to the Capitol. postofiice ana

high value. 1t Is n pleasure. therefore,

to be made by the American National
Bank Is in keeping with the dignity and
worth of the locality and In accordance
with the progress Of the city.
Sky-scrapers have been much berated
! at times, but thoy have come to stay,
as they meet great public demand.
Their tenants are afforded conveniences
and facilities for transacting business
they could never have otherwise In the
center Of city. In tho thick of trade
and travel there Is no substitute for tho

extent Of ground available for new build
ngs be put to Its best use. This fact
Is recognized by tho American National
Bank and to give itself n spacious and
central business home and to meet a
public demand for offices, the bank,
much to the qualification Of the public,
has entered upon this enterprise.
