WHO IS THE MAN?
Such being the forecast, whenever a
pope's reign ended there has been much
speculation as TO the cardinal whose per-
sonality would fit the prediction for tho
next one. cardinal who is a likely can
didate is called "papabile" and his adj
herents 'papeggianti." At present two
names are suggested from the roll of the
Sacred college as those for whom the
Malachian prophecy was intended. One IS
that Of the former general of the bare
footed Carmelites. Cardinal Giroamo
Gotti. The other is that of Cardinal Do
mintco Svampa. archbishop of Bologna.

His series Of prophecies concerning the
succession of popes has for several hum
dred years been marvel to succeeding
generations. They are mentioned first in
print by Arnold Wion. a monk of Monte
Casino, in 1885, in his book, "Lignum vi
tae." Another work, written in 1870 by
John Germano and published in Naples
is called 1.-The Life, Works and Prophe-
cies of Holy ST. Malachy." The prophe-
cies are also to be found in History Of
the Popes." dated Lyons, 1888; in the Alb
be de Vallemonts Elements de His
toire,'' 1902, and other volumes of more
recent date.
These predictions are short forecasts
giving some noticeable trait of all the
future popes, from Celestine H., who was
elected in the year 113O. until the end of
time, which. in accordance with this
scheme. will come with the tenth pontiff
after the present incumbent's reign is
over. AS the good saint has, however
not indicated the duration Of each reign,
the average mortal Of today need have
no immediate terror of the general judg-
ment. The condolences of the predic-
items have in many instances been most
| remarkable. 1t would take up too much
space to go over the whole list. Those
for the pont1ffs of the present century
will serve to show the scope of the pro-
phecies and their seeming accuracy

New. York Herald
There are several canonical DEGREES
prohibiting electioneering for the tiara
during the lifetime of a pope. But. like
the ancient customs of Denmark, they
are more honored in the breach than in
the observance. So even before there Is
any certainty of the date of official sum-
mons to the conclave the speculation as
to its possible choice goes on. A few
weeks ago Pope Leo. speaking to a for
