DEATHS HARVEST.

Manning and Simeoni Victims OF
InAuenza-Fatal Termination OF the
Duke OF Clarance,s Illness-Sketchea
of Their Careers.
LONDON, Jan. .14.-Cardinal Manning
died at 500 o'clock this morning. He con-
| tinued to grow weaker during the night
until his prostration became complete. He
was able, however, to join in the prayers
which were being offered at his bedside
until 7:30 O'Clock, when he became I'M
conscious. His death was calm, and he
passed away evidently without pain. Tele-
grams of regret from all parts Of the world
are being received.
By the death of Henry Edward Manning
very interesting, picturesque and promi-
nent figure has been removed from re-
ligious and social and, in a certain sense,
force exerted upon public affairs by
the cardinal was indirect, and scarce
ly commensurate with the prominence
which his position and activity secured for
him. He was born on the 18th of July,
1908, at Totteridge, in Hertfordshire. His
father was London merchant of good
standing and ample fortune, and in due
course of time the boy was sent to Harrow,
and later to Ballot college, Oxford, whore
graduated with frst-class honors in 1880,
becoming Fellow of Merton. Immedi-
ately after this he was ordained in the
Church of England, and was speedily ap-
pointed one of the select preachers in the
attention by the extent of his reading, the
elegance of his style, and his powers as a
1ogician. u,
In 1884 he was made rector of Lavington
and Graffham, Sussex land 30 distinguished
himself by zeal and capacity that in 1910
he was promoted to the archdeaconry of
Chichester and began to be regarded as a
coming man in the church. Two years
later he published his first work on 1.-THE
Unity of the Church" and was promptly
enumerated in the ranks of the Puseyites.
In 1912 and again in 1916 he published
volumes of sermons which attracted much
attention, and supplemented these with
three different series of addresses deliver
ed before the university.
Upholding, as he did, the doctrine of the
spiritual grace of baptism, Archdeacon
Manning wrote that he 'felt the very
ground on which he stood cut from under
him." and in 1851 he resigned his prefer
ments and was received into the Roman
Catholic church. He went to Rome and
remained there until 1924 Three years af-
forwards he was ordained priest by Car
dinsl Wiseman and appointed rector of
st. Helen and st. Mary's, Bayswater, Lon
don.
During his long episcopate Cardinal Man
ming occupied position such as few Ro-
man Catholic prelates have enjoyed in Eng
land in recent times. This was due in
large part, of course, to the purity and
elevation of his personal character, his
great learning and mis- charming social at
tributes, but also in no small measure to
his former connection with the Established
Church, and his friendship with Mr.. Glad
stone, Lord Tennyson and other famous
contemporaries.
Of late years he had interested himself
greatly in all phases of the labor question,
and no doubt did much to ameliorate the
condition of the poor. His acquaintance
was vast in all ranks of society.
In addition to a great number of ser
mons and lectures, Cardinal Manning pub
lished The Temporal Mission of the Holy
Ghost The Temporal Power of tie
Pope,' England and Christendom,' The
Council The Demon of
Socrates 'Cesarism and Ultramontan-
ism,' The Catholic Church and Modern
Society," and the ETHEREAL Priesthood
His episcopal jubilee was celebrated in
1890, and the occasion gave rise to a dis |
cussion on the subject of his right of pre-
cedence, which resulted in some bitter |
ness. No man, however, could ever have |
been more Indifferent to distinctions of |
personal rank than he.
The Duke of Clarence Dead.
LONDON, Jan. 14.-The duke of Clarence
and Avondale died at 9:15 o'clock this |
The Prince of Wales sent dis
patch from Sandringham to the lord
mayor of London announcing the event. |
On all public buildings flags are displayed |
at half The announcement of the |
than was expected, as the news was gener- |
ally looked for.
Albert Victor Christian Edward, K. g.,
etc., etc., was the eldest child of the Prince
and Princess of Wales, and was born on
January 8, 1854. He had, therefore, just
his twenty-eighth year at the
time of his death. His early education
was conducted at home, and in 1877 he en-
tered the navy as cadet, serving for two
years on the years on the Britannia. In
1879 he went to sea on the Bacchante and
made tour of the world, spending a con-
time in Australia and the Cape
of Good Hope. He became an undergrad
uate of Cambridge University in 1888, and
also studied at Heidelberg, after which he
was gazetted to a cavalry regiment. In
1880 he visited India, and upon his return
WAS made Duke of Clarence and Avondale
and took his seat in the house of lords.
Until a few months ago the Prince did
not enjoy much popularity. His manner
was shy and awkward, and there was a
ronoro1 iy,,nroooior, fhof bia nharoofar
weak and his abilities insignificant. Un-
pleasant rumors, many of which were
either false or grossly exaggerated, were
current concerning his manner of life.
The announcement of his engagement to
the Princess May of Teck, made only
few weeks ago, did much towards re-
storing him to public favor, owing to the
popularity of the Duchess of Teck, and the
fact that her daughter was born in Eng
land. Upon the Princess the blow of the
Dukes death will fall with especial
object of general sympathy.
1t was only the other day that a descrip-
ton of her bridesmaids dresses was pub
ished, and she is now bereft not only of
her betrothed, but of her hopes of becom
ing queen of England. The presumptive
heir to the throne now is the second son of
the Prince of Wales, George Frederick Err
nest Albert, who was born on June 8, 1866,
and is at present heutenant-commande
in the British navy. He accompanied his
elder brother in his voyage around the
world, and recently visited Canada in
command of gunboat On his return to
England he was attacked by typhoid fever,
from which he has only just recovered.
He is said to be bright lad of good dis
position.

priest he was, on account of his learning,
employed in Offices of Importance. In
