Wfe of Daulel Manning.
Few men arrive at so prominent a positlen
In public life as that of Daniel Manning,
with so little In their upward course that Is
noteworthy, to mark the successive stages
ot progress. There Is hardly an Incident In
bis career that calls for particular elabora
tion, or that can be regarded as a turning
point In the direction of his on the whole te
markeble rise.
Mr. Manning was the son of an Albany
baker, who half a century ago lived in a
modest dwelling, still standing, nearly op
posite the lata secretary's flue mansion, two
blocks west of the state capitol.
The famljy was In plain circumstances
when the father died, leaving three sons and
a daughter to be cared for by their mother.
Of thesa John B. Manning, a wealthy oltl-
ren ot Buffalo and at one time mayor of
that city, and Maria, the daughter, sur
vive. Daniel, the second son in age, was
born on Aug. 10, 183b When his father
died be was 0 years old. At this early age
1k became connected with the newspa
per tfflce in which he served In every 8 tage
of promotion Irom a route carrier to presl-
dent of its corporation. His first service
was with the old Albany Atlas, which af
terward became The Atlas and Argus, and
Idler tho widely known Albany Argus.
From errand boy he became an apprentice In
the composing and job rooms, and by the
time bo was master or the mechanical de-
partnient of the estabbshment he was found
to bo as apt at getting and preparing news
f i-r the paper as he was at setting in types
what others nod prepared, llo baa an ex
cellent faculty for making acquaint
ances that could contribute something to
pclltlcal nows, with which tho papers
cf that day abounded to the exclusion of
more ceneral matters. Thurlow Weed went
to Aib.my and established The Journal about
the timo Daniel Manning was born. When
the latter grew to the estate of usefulness as
a reporter and editor. The Journal and The
Argus were ill the hottest part of their life
long partisan controversies, Young Man
ning became imbued with the spirit of the
political strife of the times. From loyalty
to the Democratlo sida he became an enthu
siastic partisan, and when he was given the
legislature as bis field of news opera
tions, he soon began to bo felt as c
young man whoso acquaintance it
was worth the politician' while to culti
vate. His growth in business connected
with the paper was under the guiuance of
Calvin Comstock. one of the proprietors of
The Argus, while the political branch of his
development was under the tutelage of
i William Uussldy, the astute editorial poli
tician who long dominated The Argus at the
state capital. In 1865, then 31 years old, he
btcarae associate editor with Mr. Casshly,
and not long aiterwartl he succeeded to Mr,
Comstocit's proprietary interest. Mr. Cos-
tidy's death 111 1873 left Mr. Manning at the
head i f the newspaper concern, to be re
sponsible for its financial prosperity and ita
political course. How well be discharged
these duties is shown by the business success
ot the paper.
Two years after the Tweed ring was dis
rupted he advanced to tho front in Albany.
Mr. Casaidy died, and he became the editor
and manager of the Argus.
In 187(1 Mr. Manning U-cama a member of
the Democratic state committee. Hs bnd
supported Governor Tilden for the nominal
tion for president, and his intimate knowl
edge ef the governor's plans made him one
ot tke most useful men on the committee
during tho campaign ot 187U. In 1S79 he
was made secretary of the state committee.
wim Daniel B. ijimont as cleric
From 1881 till 1885 he was chairman of the
state committee and had undisputed control
of the organization. When he was asked by
Albany bankers to be tneir guest at a dlnnei
In honor of his appointment as socretary ol
tuo treasury, ne declined, saying: "1 assure
you that the happiness afforded Is all th
greater because 1 quite realize that the of
fices you buder are genuine and hearty,"
After Mr. Cleveland was elected president.
Mr. Manning expressed a sincere di-siro to
retire from political activity. Two weeks
after the election be saids "The campaign
was long and hard fought. I desire to be re
leased from responsibility." Being asked with
reference to the prevailing gossip about his
going into tho cabinet, he replied: "Bucli
talk Is natural with people who do uot
understand how a man can bo acilvelna
succesiful campaign, as I have been for the
past few months, without expecting reward
in Ui. way of an office. I have no desire
for public office. My means are ample for
the support of my family, my business is
Bumclent to aiaorD my time as closely as 1
desire to have It absorbed, and 1 shall be ecu
tuted to remain at my desk here in the
bant, and glide through Ufo as
private citisen. Instead of getting into
offlw, or deor Into politics, I assure you
niy desire Is to keep out ot the former
and get out of the latter." With refer
Mice to the part b took in nominating
Mr. Cleveland, h saldt "My notion at
Chicago was guided by cold judgment
Thera was not a particle ot sentiment in it.
as there might have been If I had been urging
Mr. Tilden's nomination. I was careful not
to say to delegates from other states that we
could carry New York for Cleveland. I only
said that If we could not carry It for him, I
did not know with whom we could carry It."
Mr. Manning was first married to Miss
Mary -Little. In 1853. She died In 188:3,
leaving two sons, James Hilton Manning,
who Is the managing editor ot The Argus,
und Frederick Clinton Manning, who Is un
Active Toung business man In Albany.
These young men Inherit in no degree what
ever their fatberv political estate, inev
Jiavo no tasla nor inclination for publicity
beyond what la necessary for their business.
They are highly esteemed and popular, tho
more so because they never sought personal
Advantage from their father's prominence
In his party. When Mr. Alanulng accepted
the position ef secretary of the treasury,
be was chairman of the Democratic
state committee, which position he resigned
when tlie next state convention met, lie
was alio president of The Argus coruiuny,
president of the Albany national Uommer
clol bank, one of the park commissioners ot
that city, a director In the Albany Street
Railroad company and a hn Electric Ight
company, anl vat "a fruite TntbTofi
Orange Club corporation ot Albany. On
Not. IP, 181, be married Miss Mary Mar
KUerlta Fryer, ot Albany, who became
prominent In Washington society at the
beginning ot the new Democratlo adminis
tration.
The Illness of Mr. Manning dated from I
March IX), 1890. when, he was attacked by
dltzlnesi and sustains 1 a heavy fall as be
was about to enter bis olllca In the treasury
building on returning from a meeting of the
cabinet. He was taken In a carriage to his
home, where he remained for a considerable
time under the care of phyMcrans. There
were various reports as to the naturo or this
attack and subsequent Illness, but It Is now
generally agreed that tho trouble was apo

nation as secretary ot the treasury In the
hands of the president, assigning the Impaired
condition ol his lioalthiislts cause, 'resident
Cleveland declined to accept It, and Induced
the secretary to tako n long leavo of absence.
On Feb. 14 last Mr. Manning again sent Id
bis resignation, to take effect on March 4.
and the president accepted It with regret in
a highly complimentary letter. Soon after
he was relieved from his duties at Washing
ton Mr. Manning sailed for Europe and
passed some time at an English watering
place In tlie hope ot benefiting his health.
After his return he accepted tho presidency
of the Western National bank In New York.

Does Connecticut Itei-ogiilse Gambllngt
Caudkn, N. J Doc. 21. In the district
court yesterday David Conroy, a saloon
keeper of Rockhill, Conn., brought suit
against Ooorge Purnell, a mill haud, who
recently removed to Camden from Rockhill,
for $11.15, being a bill contracted at Cou
roy's uloon In the latter part of 1684. Part
of the bill is for drinks and part for money
loaned at tho gaming table. The New Jersey
law does not recognize the validity of gam
bling debts, and so the judge, would have
dismissed the case. Conroy claimed, bow-
ever, that Connecticut recognized the valid
ity of such debts, and so the court put off
the case, to allow (Jonroy to prove the case,

Duty Itusy leading and Unloading.
Philadelphia, Dec. 28. The order for
the strikiug employes of the Reading com
pany to return to work, issued yesterday
morning, coma rather unexpectedly, tbougb
desired by tbe majority, and thero was
lack of spontaneity in the return to work.
This was not due to an unwillingness on the
part ot tne men, but to delay in tne circula
tion of tbe genorul order to retuin, coupled
with the fact that the disaffected w ere rather
late In putting in an appearance at their
uual places of rendezvous. However, suffi
cient meu responded at an early hour to
handle what littlo coal there was on the
trucks, and more, too, for many had to be
put to work at odd jobs until some of tbe
side tracked fuel came down the road.
It will tuke throe or four days to open the
present coal blockado, as all tho side tracks
between the anthracite regions and Philadel

4.000 cars, representing 20,000 tons of coal.

sidings aro occupied by loaded and empty

has been a large accumulation of business,
partly due to the strike and partly due to
several days' suspension over Christmas.
But tbe handlers were busily engaged yes
terday In loading and unloading cars.
It was anticipated that some trouble might
occur at the Port Richmond round house
resterdav afternoon, and for this reason
about twenty detectives were stationed in and
about Suiwrintendent Flicker's office. About
2 o'clock they were Joined by Capt Linden,
of the f inkerton detective agency, but no

Captain Quirk was also on band with a squad

called into service.

Notes. At that time, i. a., of tho preced
ing chapter. Herod the Tetrerch, or HcroJ
Antipas, son of Herod tho Great; Tetrarch
In strictness of meaning, Is tho niter of the
fourth part of a kingdom, but sometimes, as
hero, the third part, or Galilee and Perea.
Famo, or reports about his mighty works.
His servants, or the officers of his court
Horodlos, granddaughter of Herod the Great
Charger, a largo dish or platter, The
damsel, or young woman, came, I. o.rto the
prison where John hod been conllncu. Told
Jesus, i. c, of the death ot John.
V, l. 1 hese words seem to lntimato that
Herod had just then heard of the great
works of Jesus. It seems that now, at last,
tho officers of his court had just begun to
talk about him, and wonder who ha could
bo. tiovr, as Jesus had been going about
doing bli great works and speaking his won
derful words lor about eighteen months, this
Ignorance on the part of Herod and bis great
men shows very clearly at how great a dis
tance they were living from all high aud
holy Influences.
v. 2. Clearly his courtiers were discussing
Jesus, and Herod undertook to enlighten them
about Him. This groat teacher, with whose
famo the land was now tinging, was not
Jesus at alt. It was John the Baptist, whom
he had beheaded, who was risen from the
dead, and who therefore had power to do
theso great works. Now this declaration of
Herod shows:
The power of a guilty conscience: and tho
wido spread belief In the resurrection; and
Ills conscience would not let him rest lie
know that he was a murderer. He knew that
John was an uptight and holy man, and that
truth and right were on his side. Yet ho
knew that to please an adulterous woman ho
had shamefully put him to death. Is It a
wonder ho could not rest! If such a man as
Herod could hold tho doctrine of the resur
rection, its placo in the popular mind must
liavo been well assured. At least it must
have been widely discussed, as Indeed tho
mere existence of tho Sadducoes, who denied
tho doctrine, proves it to have been.
V, 3-5. Here lies tho secret of Herod's
great disquiet And tho links in the chain
of events are these: Herod had repudiated
bis own lawful wife and was living In adult
ery with the wife of his brother Philip. John
had fearlessly rebuked him for his great sin,
and, of course, had incurred the bitter en
mity of Horodlos, From that day he was a
doomed man, and nothing but fear of the
people restrained Herod from putting him to
death.
What could John dot Just what ho did.
Ho must bo "clear In bis great office," and
rebuke the offender. Publicly rebuke him.
The sin was before the people and so must
its condemnation be. At all hazards he must
be true to his Lord's words. And so must
tho minister of Jesus now. He must not only
"exhort," but he must "roprove and rebuke."
and that too "with all authority."
And how ready was llerod's response, "lie
would have killed John." No thought of
breaking off his sin by righteousness or his
transgression by turning to tbe Lord. John
was the transgressor here. And so the burn
ing and shiuing light in Israel must be put
out and the greatest of the prophets of the
Lord borne to a bloody death in order that
an adulterous woman might be gratified in
ber revenge.
Yet all through John was stronger than ho
thought Herod feared John. He knew he
was a prophet, and the sanctities of a spot
less character shut him m on every side.
V. 0, 7. The "birthday," here, probably
means the anniversary of his accession to
power. It was usual for kings to observe
this day with great pomp as Herod doubt
less did on this occasion. This "daughter ot
Herodlas" was Salome, her daughter by her
first husband, ttbe must have partaken of
ber mother's character, for no modest female
would have made such an exhibition ot her
self before such an assembly. Knowing him
as she did, was this all planned by Herodlas,
to bring about her long plotted rovenge on
John! Inflamed by wlno, by music, by tbe
brilliant surroundings of tho raist and the
dancing girl, the king bound himself with an
oath to give her whatsoever she desired
Mark adds, "even to tbe half of his king
dom."
V. 8-10. Here was tho opportunity de
sired. And it was well improved, too; for,
instructed by her mother, she demanded
"tho bead of John the Baptist" What a re-
oucst for a young girl to make. What Sa
tanic hate must have rankled In the heart
that prompted it. What aptitude in hateful
things in the lips that uttered it No doubt
Herod was beyond measure surprised. Even
be bail not expected it But in tho madness
of his folly be hod bound himself by an oath
which ho' thought ho could not break, and
the presence ot those Invited guests forbade
him to do oven if be could. And so the com
mand was given; John was beheaded and his
head presented to tho damsel, who In turn
presented it to her mother. Tho whole ghast
ly business Is done, and John lies headless in
the prison.
V. 12. Tho nowswns not long in spreading.
His disciples heard of It, and with reverent
and affectionate sorrow took up his body and
burled It, and "went and told Jesus." Now,
there is something very beautiful In this.
Their former jealousy of Jesus, for John's
sake, weans to have died away; and they told
him ot tho danger that might reach even to
him. Of course they know not tho secret tie
that bound them together. They know not
that as it fared with John so It would with
him. whoso coming John heralded. They
knew not that John's bloody death In bis
prison was but the index finger pointing to
Jesus on tho cross. Still they went and told
him.
GENERAL LESSONS.
1. The power of a guilty conscience. Is
this a foretaste of future retribution? Herod
could not get away from the prosonce ct
John. He was with him everywhere. A
vision never more to bo shut out Judas
could not bear to look upon bis thirty pieces of
fcilvcr, mid "went out and hanged himself,"
to ret nwav from the vision.
2. The binding power of an oath. In this
Eenso nn oath is an appeal to Almighty God, to
do or not to do a given act. And what power
hositt If the act in view Is right, 10,000
oatlis cannot increase our obligation to do it.
becauso it rests ou tho will of God, which is
truth In itself. And it it be not right, noth
ing can make an obligation to do it
3. How silently, yet how powerfully, did
John's words about Jesus act on his disciples.
Ab tho fore-runner of Jesus, who cun tell how
many ho brought to Chrlstl The Lord's own
disciples wero thus prepared to receive him.
He made ready the way of the Lord. And
now his disciples seem prepared to enter
theirs, uo faithful testimony about Jesus is
