.1. Pnlvkenlch Stalled Ruler A chance remark about the middle name of a Xewporter re-1 cently prompted research that produced interesting facts as to the use of the name in Newport families of the ancient Irish Saint Kyren. In one instance, il has been discovered, the name came down through four generations. Use of the name Kyren in Newport appears to stem back to William Kyren Delaney, an Irishman who came here in the 1850's to teach in- the first school connected with St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, after its dedication in Records show that Schoolmaster Delaney taught in a li (wooden schoolhouse at 5 Levin st.

as early as 1858, and as as 1872. In that year, the city directory listed him as a teacher in "The Roman Catholic Seminary." Various Activities Entered Not only was he a schoolmaster, but the records disclose that he engaged in foreign exchange and conducted an emigration office. He did not limit his activities to education, foreign exchange and emigration. Oldest of Newport's nonagenarians, Robert Laurie Dring. remembers him as captain and organizer of a militia I company and John H.

Greene Newport historian, adds that company often drilled on King street. Captain Delaney. as he was called taught many children who later became prominent in Newport business and professional life. When the time came for them to assume their confirmation name, some chose Kyren out of fondness and regard tor their teacher. Among them were John K.

Walsh. Andrew K. Quinn and Jeremiah K. Sullivan. Many Spellings for Name Since then, the name Kyren, which has other spellings, has continued to live in several of those families.

For instance, the grandson of "J.K." Sullivan is Jay Kyren O'Connell. In descent from Andrew K. Quinn the name has reached the fourth generation through John Kyren Quinn Senior, Junior and Third. Search of old papers has as yet failed to. find reference to the career of Capt.

Delaney, after he left Newport in the 1870's. Some say I he returned here. The Daily News. in 1906, tells of the burial here of his wife, who died in New York. One of her bearers was John K.

Walsh, a former pupil. Recollections of the schoolmaster captain, who brought the name of-Kyren to such prominence in Newport, may remain in some of the older families. CHARITY DRIVE PRAISED BY PROVIDENCE BISHOP 9 4 4 2 5 0 Collected By Catholics In Record- Breaking Campaign i the Catholic Charily Fund Appeal reaching a record total of $944,250 Wednesday, $27,635 higher than any previous appeal, the Most Rev. Russell J. McVinney, D.

bishop of Providence and director of the appeal, issued a statement of appreciation for the record breaking "Once again the Catholic Charity Fund Appeal has risen to new heights." the bishop said. "We have achieved this unprecedented success to the amazement of the carthbound and the acclaim of the courts of Heaven. We deeply appreciate the unstinting loyalty and cooperation of the priests and people of the diocese, who may be justly proud of their achievement. "We arc equally appreciative of the spontaneous and genuine goodness of the non-Catholics of Rhode Island who again this year have considerably aidded us our effort for charity.
