CONFEDERATE. PRISONERS
LISTENING TO THE STORIES
OF CHAPLAIN RYAN.

1t was the broad attitude he took
as coadjutor bishop that first caused
Pope Leo to hear of Bishop Ryan.
The late pope, as everybody knows,
was liberal in his views, and here was
a church dignitary who had won the
respect of large body of Protestants.
and broken down much prejudice
against the church. So Leo sent for
Bishop Ryan, received him in the
Vatican, and, in recognition of his
work, which had been almost solely
that of a speaker, gave him the hon
orary title of Archbishop of Salamis
This occurred in the same year that
Archbishop Wood, Of Philadelphia,
died. Archbishop Wood had been ultra
conservative. Among other things he
would not let a member of the G. A.
R. be buried in g Catholic cemetery.
He held that the G.. A. r. was secret
society; he was opposed to all such
organizations, and he would have no
rites other than those of the church at
the grave. AS result, in Phfladel-
phia, the leading Protestant city in
America, the city of the most pro-
nounced anti-C Catholic riots of 1874,
when eight churches We're burned and
many people killed, the progress of
the Catholic church was by no means
what leading Catholics desired.
Upon the death OF Archbishop Woou
the church began looking around for
his successor. 1t did not take it long
to discover that Bishop Ryan was the
only man in sight who was fitted for
the post A man was wanted who
could soften the widespread hostility
against the church; he would have to
be something of a diplomat, and a man
who could use his tongue well. Bishop
Ryan, by means of his wit and liberal
ity, had won a host of Protestant
friends in st. Louis; his policy had re-
ceived the popes stamp of approval;
he was the man for the place.
So Patrick J. Ryan, coadjutor bishop
of the archdiocese of st. Louis. be-
came second archbishop of the lately
created archdiocese of Philadelphia.
His first act caused the town to

BY GUY T. VIsKNIsKK.

a. RCHBISHOP Patrick J. Ryan, of
AZ Philadelphia, who is being con-
tinually referred to as ''the next
American CARDINAL" got his ambition
to be somebody in the world from a pat
onNthe head and a few words said to
him by Daniel O'Connell, the famous
Irish agitator, known in history as the
''Emancipator
In 1874 Paddy, Ryan was thirteen
years old and student in Carlow col
lege, Ireland. In that year Daniel
O'Gonnell visited the college and the
students were called upon to declaim
forshis entertainment. The great man
sat- through the speeches, apparently
paying no attention to them, SO far
as outward sign was concerned, until
lad, marked chiefly by a thick shock
of fiery hair, mounted the rostrum and
began to speak. Then Mr.. O'Connell
came out of his shell, his whole atti-
tude changed, and he gave earnest ear
to what the boy had to say from be-
ginning to end.
He did more. AS the student was
starting to step down from the plat
form, the great orator, in an excess Of
enthusiasm walked over to him,
PLACED his hand on the shock of red
haiF, and said:
MY boy your tongue; it will some
day make you famous. Don't neglect
it; it is your talent
That was all, but it stuck to pad
dy',,. Ryan's mind Like other boys of
the time, he had made a hero of
O'CQnnell, and he could not get away
from the prophecy, which O'Connell
forgot about next day; so at last he
told himself that, although he was set
aside by his family to be priest, he
would still try to be what his idol said
he could be if he only would-an ora
tor.
Three years later, just a few months
before O'ConneIs death in Genoa, he
was billed to speak in a town near
Thprles, young Ryan's birthplace.
When ethe~do We're thrown open a
reds headed boy presented himself and
started to- walk through.
'Hey.,",. yelled the doorkeeper, you
can't get in without a ticket"
But 1 want to hear Daniel O'Con-
nell" protested the lad.
Then buy a ticket" said the man.
I haven't any money" confessed the
lad.
The man laughed.
'Then," he said, you'll not hear DAN
iel D'Conpell speak this night"
But the boy would not be discour-
aged. He sought out the stage en-
trance.
II want you to tell Mi. O'ConneIl
THAI Patrick Ryan would like to speak
to him. he said to the attendant.
And who's Patrick Ryan," asked
that worthy.

Louis. He made those who were wound
ed laugh even in and at their pain
by his wit; he cheered up otheEs with
droll stories; he kept the whole prison
as cheerful as any prison cam be by
means of his tongue; and there are
men down South today MihoiWill tell
you stories that they heard from the
lips of Chaplain Ryan when they were
hostages of Uncle Sam between the
years 1S61-65.
In his work Chaplain Ryan came in
contact with men of all sorts Of re-
ligious beliefs and creeds. Never a
radical, he came to understand how
men could feel differently on the sub
ject of religion and still be sincere,
and so when he was mustered out Of
the army and returned to his pulpit
his sermons were marked not only for
their eloquence and wit, as before, but
for their liberal views as well. AS a

result, Father Ryan's name soon be-
came known to Protestants, and be-
fore long his speaking acquaintance
with men of others faiths was as large
as with his own, and good Presby-
terians were repeating and laughing
at his latest stories every bit as heart
lily as the most pronounced Catholic in
his congregation.
Thus things drifted on, Father Ryan
winning the respect and regard of all
creeds, to the year 1872, when the
priests eloquence brought him his
first ecclesiastical reward-that Of CO.
adjutor bishop of st. Louis. The pro-
motion was fuel for his oratorical
fires. For the next twelve years, when
ever he preached or spoke in public,
thousands, representing all sects,
crowded to hear him, and went away
to tell his stories and to discuss the
liberal views which he had expounded.

datto's town, killing 400 of the datto's
subjects. When the datto complained,
Gen Arolas replied bluntly:
Cant help it; my men are Jura-
mentados.' The datto took the hint.
When Gen. Bates assumed control or
the Sulu islands he informed the sultan
that if any Americans should be killed
by "juramentados" he would execute
not only the murderers but the priests
and everybody who had anything to
do with the crime. His majesty IS
said to have issued Immediately a
proclamation telling his people, ac-
cording to the translation, that they
must not kill the Americans, because
they are like a bunch of matches-f
you touch one the whole bunch will
go off,
Besides" he added, why should
Mahometans kill Americans-they are
not Christians, they are Presbyte-
rians."

ocean mall route No. GO. from New York to
Tuxpan, via Habana and other intermediate
ports. and route No. 70. from New York to
Habana, expired October 81. 1902, and the
service having been readvertized contracts
for both routes were awarded for service
commencing November 1. 1902, the contract
for the former route being for term Of
ten years and for the latter route for term
of five years. Each contract requires sail
Ing from New York once week. making a
direct steamer service between New York
and Habana twice every week. There are
now seven routes under contract for ocean
mail service, the annual rate of expenditure
for which is $1.475. 1873, the same as reported

In the annual report of the Postmaster

THE preparation of this report has been

mands upon my time by reason OF; the mr.
vestigation which has been made Into the
affairs of the department, commencing on
March Z. 1903. and which has continued I'M
der my direction since that time.
This investigation has resulted in COM
plete reorganization of some of the bureaus
Of the department. and 1t Is hoped has
eradicated all dishonest, irregular and
criminal practices. which the investigation
has developed as having been In existence
for several years.
II cannot too strongly commend the zeal,
the fourth assistant postmaster general
who has been in immediate charge, and the
inspectors who have been detailed to assist
him in the investigation.
"As result of the investigation. seven
teen officials were separated from the Sery-
ice by resignation or removal. Forty-four
indictments were found and thirty-one per-
sons arrested. ten of whom had been con-
nected with the postal service"
An increase in the deficit over the pre-
vious year of $1622. 394.92 Is noted, which
is, however. $1.042,1S less than the esti-
mated deficit for the year.
