OBITUARY.
Most Rev. Frederick John Ryan, Arch
 bishop of Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Feb. 12-The Most Rev. Frederick John Ryan, archbishop of Philadelphia aA- metropolitan of Peunsy1vanfa, died at 4.0S o'clock Sat- urday afternoon at the archepiscopal residence in this city.
 Archbishop Ryan for weeks the pre- late. who would have been 80 years old had he lived until the goth of this
 month, fought off death. but a weak heart. enfeebled by the arduous duties of his high office, could mot stand the strain. and he passed away
 The funeral will be held on Thurs day and it Is expected to be attended by practically all the prominent clergy in the American hiarchy who can reach Philadelphia in time for the oc- sequies. The body will lie in state at tha cathedral and will be entombed back of the altar of the great church beside those of Bishop Egan, Bishop Conwell and Archbishop Wood, who were his predecessors in the diocese This was his wish. The diocesan con- suffers met and began arranging the details of the funeral
 Archbishop Ryan was considered the greatest of the Nne of bishops and archbishops that have occupied the episcopal see of Philadelphia since its erection in 1908. His reputation was national and in his home city he was accorded a popular recognition that far surpassed that of any of his predeces- sors, he having been on the friendliest terms with men of all religious denomi- nations. He was one of the foremost pulpit orators in the Catholic church in this country.
 The archbishop was born in Thurles County of Tipperary. Ireland, on Feb. 20, 1881. His ancestors on the paternaI side were originally the O'Ryans who figure in Irish history. His parents died when he was very young and his youthful education was received from the Christian Brothers at Aries. Young and later came to this country, going to St. LOuis where he was appointed a professor in Carondolet seminary. On Sept. 8. 1853, hs was ordained a priest by Archbishop Kenrfck. In 1856 1le was made rector of the St. Louis ca thedral and four years later was placed in charge of the Church of the An nunciation. In 1872 Father Ryan was consecrated coadJutor bishop of St. Louis, with the right of succession, and in. 1884 was appointed archbishop of Philadelphia
 dence in Philadelphia he was an inn portant figure in the life of the city, The University of Pennsylvania gave him the degree of ILL. D., an honor which he had previously received from the University of Missouri
 Two great works of the archbishop were what he did for the Indians and his establishment of the protectory for homeless boys. The labors of the arch bishop in behalf of the Indians were recognized by President Roosevelt when he appointed him one of the board of Indian commissioners.
 Under the administrat ton of Arch bishop Ryan the Catholic church in this diocese has more than kept pace with the growth of the city and coun- try. The archdiocese embraces Phila- delphia and nine adjoining counties.

KeeHe for burial, heard shots fired upstairs They found the boy Gerald in bed in his chamber with a bullet wound in his right temple. So close had the revolver beeen held to the cfild's head, probably while eh was asleep, that the hair about his temple was singed. The boy was alive, but unconscious, when found. He lived less than an hour.
 Meanwhile tine door of Mrs. Keene's room was found locked, and repeated knocks bringing no answer, it was broken in. Mrs. Keene'S body was found stretched on the bed. There was a bullet wound showing that she had placed the revolver muZxie to the roof of her mouth and fired. death probably being Instantaneous. The revolver was on the bed beside her.
