''oNE OF NATURES NoBLEMEN."
Referring to the death of the Bishop,
the Stockton NuIt pays him this tribute:
The news of The death OF Bishop
Manogue has been received everywhere
on this coast with the sincerest ex-
pressions OF sorrow. His mourners are
found among people of all sects and de-
nominations. No prelate of his church
ever attracted to himself so many per-
sonal Iriends. AS priest in Virginia
City, New, his lie was one long, sweet
sacrifice TO love and charity. He seemed
TO be Indifferent alike TO danger or per-
sonal prlvation in the discharge OF his
duties. In the troubles that visit at times
ali turbulent mining communities he was
a peacemaker whose presence and intlu-
ence at once silenced the passions of
angry men. The heart of one of natures
nOblemeu ceased TO beat when Bishop
Manogue died"
HIS LIFE IN NEVADA.
Many incidents are coming to light
concerning the life OF the deceased Bish-
op while he was priest at Virginia City,
in the early days OF the Comstock min
ing excitement.
one is in regard to his experience with
Club Collins. Collins worked down in
the q. " G.. shaft and rarely got any Iur-
ther towards home on payday than the
Sawdust Corner. Father Manogue had
spoken to HIM two or three times, and
had tried to meet HIM accidentally as he
came from the office with his months
salary. But after an experience on two
pay days running, Chub Collins grew
wise and sid out of the works the Dack
way, thus lodging the priest Mrs. Col
Inns came to the Father with her troubles.
The rent was overdue, the grocery bill
had approached the perilous point when
the grocer would no longer honor the
pass book, the children were sick, aud
Chub's $40 was generally needed at
home very much. ChuD had not come
home and mis- wife knew what that meant.
The Father started of to corral the rene
gade member of his flock. He walked
through the Delta Saloon, calling the
barkeeper and the proprietor by their
hrst names-his usual courteous greeting
and up the Iour steps that enabled a
faro game TO run without violation OF the
law that prohibited banking games being
operated on the first floor. Club was
sitting behind great stacks of reds and
whites and blues, flushed with success
and whisky. AS courtesy to so good
customer the limit was OF, and every
card that came out OF the box meant
three or four days wages to Club Collins
he growled as the ather came in, but
Kept on playing. Father Manogue bade
him go home TO his sick children.
Here you are" he said, after a hasty
glance over the layout, with enough on
the ace to pay your grocery bill, and
whole months rent on that coppered
QGeen. You ought to be ashamed OF
yourself! Go out of here ~
For answer Collins put another stack
on the table. But the dealer turned the
box over and told Collins TO do as the
priest bade him. And, strange to say, he
Gid.
After this episode word was always
passed in the faro games when the priest
was coming, and the door was closed
against him. Otherwise the games would
have had to close absolutely, and the
most promising industry in Virgin la
CITY would have come to an end.
HIS LOVE FOR CHILDREN.
The children liked Father Manorue,
He used TO stand on the steps of MS
church, ST. Mary's in the Mountains, and
watch the boys and girls go to the old
school block below. Some of the chill
Gren of his parishioners used to stop and
the priest, sitting on the stone steps
would tell them stories. Other children
would stop TO listen, and soon there was a
crowd of them as far as the Fathers voice
reached. The school bells rang unheard
at such times, and the storytelling went
on until the Father would look at his
watch and discover that il was half an
hour or an hour after school time Then
he would lead his audience down to the
school building and make their excuses
10 the teachers.
THE FRIEND OF THE NEEDY,
Every Nevadan remem bered him and
Temembered some deeds of heroism. TO
him came the wife whose husband
stopped on the way home payday night
and reached there at last with em3Dtv
pockets. Father Manogue was not rich,
but he always got from somewhere the
means 10 keep that miners home going
until the neXt payday, and the miner as
lie came from the office with his month S
wages jingllng 10 his pocket tho next
time met tho priest, who Just happened 10
be on his way to that miners home, and
OF course, he could not leave the Father
at a saloon door.
