seats as early as o'clock, in anticipation
OF the large attendance.
When all the seats were filled people
crowded into the aisles, and when these
were filled-with the exception of the
center one-the space between the doors
aud the pews was taken possession OF.
until finally, when the services COM
menced, the entire floor of the Cathedral
was thronged with people, as well as the
galleries above the lobby.
While there was some unseemly jost-
ling and crowding in the rear. the vast
throng of people manifested an intense
interest in the ceremonies, which to mem-
bers of the church were of deep import
ance.
Outside the Cathedral another great
throng of people gathered, being unable
to obtain admission, and for nearly
block away, in all directions, the side
walks were crowded with men, women
and children, who waited patiently dur
ing the two hours of the services to wit
ness the starting OF the cortege for the
cemetery. Several policemen were on
duty about the doors of the Cathedral to
preserve order and keep the passageways
cleared, but their duties were not oner.
Gus.
No better evidence was wanted of the
personal popularity of the deceased
Bishop than was shown by the vast at
tendance of people of all shades of re-
Hgious faith to pay their respect to his
memory. An entire carload of citizens
came from Virginia City, New, to view
the lifeless remains of the man whom they
had learned to love many years ago when
he preached the gospel among them and
went his oaily rounds among the poor
dispensing the charities he obtained from
the well-to-do and liberal miners of the
ComStoc6.
Indeed, he was even better known
among the people of Nevada in early
days, as the plain priest-the personal
friend of all-than to the people of this
city where his few years residence had
been passed in looking after the larger
and more varied interests OF a broad
diocese. Those, however, who were
brought in contact with the Bishop here
had learned to honor and respect him tor
his many noble qualities OF mind and
heart, his unosteEtatious dispensation of
charity and his ardent love of country
manifested on numerous public occa-
sions.
Hence thousands of heads were bent in
humble reverence yesterday, and hum
dreds of others knelt and offered fervent
prayers for his eternal happiness while
Archbishop Riordan and his assistants
rendered the solemn services of the
pontitical requiem mass before the altar
The services throughout were of the
most impressive character. On one side
OF the sanctuary were seated the sixty
odd visiting clergymen, who assisted in
chanting the responses to theArch bishops
delivery of the service. The officiating
clergymen's mourning vestmeuts con-
trasted sharply with those worn on ordi-
nary occasions, while all the others wore
outer robes OF white.
From the gallery over the entrance the
deep tones OF the organ pealed forth at
Intervals during the services, above
which were distinctly heard the voices
of the choir in the "Miserere," the Ike
QUEEN" and "Libera Me-" with orches-
tral accompaniment or stringed instru-
ments.
At the conclusion of the long and elab-
Orate requiem service Miss Lizzie Griffin,
the organist, rendered Beethoven's
'Marche tunebre," assisted by the
orchestra.
FATHER QUINN's ADDRESS.
The memorial sermon by Rev. Father
Quinn OF Greka was a most eloquent and
scholarly address, and well sustained his
reputation as pulpit orator of far more
than ordinary ability.
You all remember" he said, "read-
ing in the eleventh chapter of John of
how Jesus stood at the side of Lazarus
The tears of Jesus were sanctitied for
every Christian soul. We, your neigh
bors, mourn with you. The brethren OF
the sanctuary have been plunged into
sorrow by the passing of man who
only when he died, did he cause them
pain. Bishop Manogue was more than
father, OF friend, or brother TO US; he was
all in all TO each and everyone of us. He
lies here unable to respond to ou cries OF
grief or to our words OF love. He lies
PROSTATE before US, and in a little while
he VIII pass Tom our sight.
You, shepherdless flock, you will
have another pastor to soothe you in
your sorrow and win your affections.
But the priests will carry with them 10
the grave the memories of this prince of
Christ's Church-Patrick Manogue''
Father Quinn then reviewed the his
tory of the Bishops life after he left his
native land and arrived in Virginia City. !
In referring to Bishop Manogues chari- !
table and patriotic deeds he said that when
the cholera visited Chicago, where Pat
rick Manogue than lived, his stalwart
shoulders were an ambulance for the
sick and hearse for the dead. After the !
deceased prelate returned from Paris 10
the gold mines he sought for treasure
not Tor gold, but for precious souls.
Nv hile pastor in Virginia City,u the |
speaker said, Ibis life was worthy of
apostolic hands. The temple of Christ.
aud the school, and the hospital. all OF
which he erected tell OF him. He had
been for long time Nicar-General 10
Bishop pConnell of Grass Valley. When
Bishop Conroy, Papal Delegate TO Cam
ada, paid visit to California, Bishop
-OConnell advised him to visit Virginia
City and while there TO call upon Father
Manogue. AS the result of Bishop Con-
roy's visit he spoke of Father Manogue
as worthy OF episcopal honors."
Bishop Manogue's hour of triumph ar
rived, said the speaker, when the Cathe-
dral in this city was constructed. At
banquet given by the Bishop, following
the construction of that beautiful edifice
there were present men prominent in
synagogue and church. None knew him
but TO love him. He was a model church
man and intensely patriotic. His charity
overleaped the narrow limits of race aud
creed. All races and creeds reciprocated
when the Cathedral was reared by him.
But note the names of the donors of
these beautiful Windows" said Father
Quinn, "and these works of art on the
walls about you, and you will find they
are the names OF the loyal sons of a bra
nam, the Protestant, the scotfing infidel
and the honest skeptic. You priests,
what would you say? The only pain
he ever inflicted came to us when he
closed his eyes in DEATH
