Sketch OF the Remarkable Career OF the
Eloquent Temperance Orator.
John b. Cough, whose death occurred
recently, was Il native OF Sandgate, in
England, and was born in q poor little
cottage ON the 22d of August. 1917.
His father was a common soldier in the
British army, too poor to furnish the
premium necessary to secure his APP
premiership TO u trade. SO, when he
was II years Of age, he was inhusted to
the care of q family about emigrating to
America In consideration OF the sum
of ten guneas they agreed to take the
boy with them, to teach him a trade and
to provide for him until he became Of
age. On August 3, 1929, lac arrived ut
New York, and was soon after taken to
farm in Oneida county His early
life in this country was one Of poverty
and hardship, and when his mother
whohad joined him here with his sister in
1888, died, he ran behind the paupcr's
hearsc which bore her body to the Pot
ter's Field, Learning finally the trade
OF a book-bndcr he worked Mt it for
very low wages i'm New York and else
where, but gradually fell into habits of
drunkenness. His experience at this
time was varied by brief career upon
the stage, commencing with the singing
of a comic song Mt n Chatham street
thcater and terminating with q small
part in lurid melodrama in Boston.
Settling in Ncwburyport, he went from
bad to worse, and finally found himself
ut Worcester. where, in October, 1912,
he was rescued from the degrading
habit of drunkenness into which he had
fallen. through the influence of Joel
Stratton, a worthy shoemaker He has
thGs iu his autobiography described the
scene On the occasion when he signed
the total abstinence pledge:

WASHINGTON LETTER.


Will never resume the OnefOuS duIles
of his office. The strain has been
too great for him, and he cannot
return to them without imperilling
his life. Mr.. Manning's illness has
raised another cry Of "maaria"
which has been traced again to the
unhealthy condition Of the Potomac
flats,
where the fresh wind borne Of the sea grows
faint with the sicSly breath
That stays in the fretting marshes ana blows
on the dcws Of death"
There seems to be q fatality about
the Treasury Department which no
one can explain otherwise than that
the building is situated in an un-
healthful locality or that the drain
age system is defective. For the
past year Secretary Manning has
spent the greater part Of his time
there day aud night. Every Secre-
tary who has presided over the de.
partment for the last twenty years,
has been, at some time during his
occupancy, afflicted by that mysteri-
oGs disease called malaria" and
/ physicians report greater percent
age Of illness among the employees
Of that department than any other.
Some Of those who have been en-.
ployed at the department for many
years repudiate ;his statement, how
ever, and one gentleman, who has
spent twenty-eight years in the treas
ury service, says he has not been i'll
Il day since he has been there.
When Cen Dix was Secretary of
\ the Treasury, he complained to
friends that he believed the building
was not healthy, and that since he
had been there he had never been
/ in good health "Not exactly III, :"
hc explained, "but tired and dull all
/ the time" The leading physicians
Of the country took this statement
up, and explained that the Secretary
Was suffering from 'malmia," and
this disease has been the fashionable
thing in Washington ever since. Ite
origin was traced to the Potomac
flats.
The death Of Secretary Folger is
also ascribed Indirectly TO "malaria. "
Shortly after he took charge Of the
treasury a delegation of local ban
kcrs called upon him, and one Of
them referred to "malura." The
Secretary laughed at the idea, and
remarked dryly that political ma
Iaria" was about the only disease in
rectiou, in Washington, yet the Sec
Rotary was stricken in manner not
&c all unlike Secretary Manning.
There has just been an investigA
ton of the sanitary condition Of the
u. s. Treasury building, aud it is
