His Eminence Henry Edward, Cardinal
Manning, titular Archbishop of Westminster,
was born In HerttOrdshife, England, on July
10, 1908 He was the sou Of wealthy London
merchant who sent him to Harrow School at
the proper age.
After leaving Harrow Manning entered Bal
iol College, oxford. and in 1880 graduated
with high honors IN classics.
At oxford Manning met Gladstone the late
Bishop Wordsworth, Newman, and many
Others who afterward became famous Even
aYong these Manning was distinguished for his
ability.
After remaining at oxford for some time as
q fellow of Merton College, Manning took holy
orders, and in 1884 was appointed Rector Of
LaVingtOn, Sussex. In 1910 he became Arch
deacon Of Chichester, having meanwhile
gained celebrity as one of the select preachers
the University Of ONOri
The turning point in Manning's life came in
1881, when he entered the Roman Catholic
Church, resigning his preferments in the
Church of England. While Manaing was in
sympathy with the leaders OF the Traetorian
movement, he was not prominent among
them. The point on which he left the English
Church had reference 10 the doctrine OF bap-
tismal regeneration.
After his entrance into the Roman Catholic
Church his promotion was comparatively
rapid. He founded an ecclesiastical congrega-
tion at Bayswater, called the Oblates OF st.

LONDON, Jan l5.-While the death of
Cardinal Manning had been momentar
lily expected, its announcement yesterday
caused profound shock.
The scenes attending Cardinal Man
ning's death were very impressive. The
canons of the Diocese of Westminster
were grouped around the bed of the dy-
ing prelate Provost Gilbert read the
profession of faith, as is customary when
a dignitary of the Roman Catholic
Church is dying. Cardinal Manning
closely followed the words. The canons
kissed his hand, and he returned the sa-
Lutte as well as he could
At 720 O'Clock he became unconscious
and he died at 9 o'clock His death was
calm and painless, and appeared like a
gentle sinking to sleep. The household
of the Cardinal is in the deepest distress,
and there were pathetic scenes in the hall
of old men and other attendants and
friends weeping for the departed prelate
The end when il came was painless and
without any paroXysms of suffering

This must be attributed to the feebleness
which has for long been result of the
Archbishop's ascetic life.
The broad catholic spirit of His Emf
nence constantly marked his labors
with phases Of popularity, and the set
Element of the great London strike of
1889 was largely due to his personal eff
forts.
The figure Of the aged Cardinal, who
was then in his Slst year, spare, and
almost ghost-like in form, with pale,
worn, intellectual face, devoid of a sim
gle trace of the animal propensities so
strongly noticeable in most men, work
ing day and night to secure peace and
protection for the poor laborers-this
figure powerfully touched the popular
imaginat ion, and few ultra Protestant
bigots pr ofessed to think that the Cardi-
nal was making ecclesiastical capital
out of the situation.
Perhaps he was, in a very broad sense,
for such action must have tended to
strengthen the influence of any church
represented by such a man, but the
same course was open for the Archbishop
of Canterbury to make ecclesiastical
capital for the Anglican Church,
To Cardinal Manning in pre- eminent
degree belonged the hOnors of the day so
fas as the religious teachers o1 England
are concerned.
In a religious way he was an oblate.
As 70 Irish affairs he was a Home Ruler
Minutely acquainted with the poverty
and wretchedness of London, he was
ever anxious to help any movement to
relieve or abolish poverty, which he
could consciously aid.
His most ardent enemies could not
call him bigot. For Mr., Gladstone
whom he knew as a youth at Ok
ford, he always had the profoundist ad
miration.
His great sympathy for the suffering
brought him into prominence with al
public movements of benevolence.
AS an author he gave to the world {
large number Of books, besides his mum
erous sermons and pamphlets.
The celebration of the Cardinal epis
copal jubilee took place on Sunday
July 8, 1890.

LONDON, Dec. IA fearful explosion
occurred this morning in the Banfurlong
colliery, Wigan, and not less than fifty
lives are believed to have been lost.
The men went to work this morning as
usual, after the mine had been inspected.
Shortly atterward a fearful explosion
shook the earth, and a cloud of smoke
shot up through the shaft. 1t is supposed
the explosion was caused by an accumu-
lation of coal gas, which the inspector
overlooked in his rounds. AS soon as
the explosion occurred women and chill
dren rushed to the mouth of the pit and
there were the usual heartrending scenes
when such an accident occurs. Steps
were Immediately taken to ascertain the
extent of the disaster, and many volun-
teered to explore the pit.
Later advices say the loss to life may be
less than at first reported, but the situa-
ton is critical. One hundred men re-
main in the mine. unable to get out,
owing to fire which followed the explo-
sion, and which is raging fiercely.
Despite the efforts to eXtlngulsh the
fire, the flames spread to the engine
house at the head OF the air tunnel. This
stopped pumping air into The mine and
adueu greatly 10 lue peru Vi luOS6 WIZ
were in the pit
The fire was not subdued until
o'clock this afternoon. Some little time
after the bodies Of twenty miners were
brought to the surface by the rescuing
parties.
The rescue parties report horrible
scenes in the mine in the main roads.
Bodies lie in twos and threes. AS the
men 1ell large sections of roof and galle-
RES collapsed. Amid the ruins were
found mangled bodies and half-burned
limbs. The ruins blocked many parts of
the mine and therefore the men search
ing for bodies were unable to give any
definite idea of the number lost. Several
miners who were just alive when found
died on the way to the surface or shortly
after being taken from the car.
The work of rescue viii be continued
through the night, although there is
little hope that more men will be taken
out alive.
