When Mon
CONCERNING signor Marti-
z,.- nelli received
"a " D'' ~ - - his red cap on
May 8 he attained to a singular
privilege, that OF turning the pic
ture OF the Pope with its face to
the wall. But it can be done only
once, and he must die 70 have 1t
done. This is how /; happens:
In a cardinals residence the
principal apartment, called the
throne room, is draped in red In
the place OF honor is hung the
portrait Of the reigning Pope under
ared silk canopy iringed with gold.
There is an arm chair on the floor
reversed or turned TO the wall, thus
reserved until the Pope should
visit the cardinal.
When the cardinal is dead his
coffin is placed for some hours be-
meath this canopy, and the picture
OF the Pope is tuned with its face
to the wall. So with the official
red hat which the Pope will give
Cardinal Martiuelli when the latter
goes 20 Rome some time hence to
be invested with the full plenitude
Of his Office. He can never wear
it again. 1t will )e put on his
coffin and then hung up in the
church OF his title till his successor
is appointed.
But he will have four other hats
to wear, so he need not lack tor
covering. When he takes a walk
he can use a three cornered hat OF
black felt tasseled with Jet, When
in cochet and mozetta outside a
church he wears a red felt hat.
When he is in cappa and under a
canopy he dons the pontifical hat.
In the Corpus Christi procession
he has a large hat Of straw covered
with red silk and bound with a
ribbon Of jet and gold. He does
not wear It. One Of his suite car
ries it before him
ETIQUETTE FOR THE CARDINALS.
While in Rome etiquette does
not allow a cardinal to walk. He
must have a carriage and pair.
When he goes out beyond the city
walls an attendant follows him.
Going to a public ceremony at the
Vatican he IS entitled to a gala
train OF three carriages, and If a
prince to four.
He is preceded BY four servants
in livery marked with his arms,
the hrst carrying his hat, the sec
ond his cushion and the third his
red silk umbrella. He is accom-
panied by his secretary in black
with a silk mantle and a train
bearer in a cassock OF violet silk
with buttons Of black velvet,
girdle OF violet silk and a crocia
or Woolen coat, with silk iacings
and short wide sleeves. This coat
has tippet forming in front long
pocket for the cardinals breViary
and the documents ne takes with \
him to the Vatican. He also has
a gentleman in the costume OF
Henry II, Of France 70 carry his
biretta.
In the Pope's chapel the cardi-
nails kneel at the benches on which
they sit. They wear at ceremonial
functions a cassock with a train
Of cloth in winter and OF MORE in
summer. Collars, shoes and
stockings are red. The girdle is |
OF red MORE with gold tassels, the |
rochet Of lace and the mozetta the !
same as the cassock. In Rome |
the rochet is covered with a red |
mantelleta; outside the city it is
uncovered. The hat is a red felt |
with gold tassels.
A cardinals walking dress islal
ways a black simaTra or cassock, |
withouttrain, with tippet and false |
sleeves. The cording and buttons |
are Of scarlet. As Cardinal Mar
tinelli IS member OF the Angus
tinian order this will be the color
also Of his ordinary costume like
the habit OF the order. But the
skull cap, biretta and hat are al
ways scarlet. The ordinary walk
ing dress is covered with a ierrai-
olene Of violet MORE, with a collar
and facings Of the same materials.
Ia winter there is also a cloak OF
violet or scarlet cloth with gold
cording.
When a cardinal asserts that the
Pope has said this or that, or has
given such an order, he must be
believed on his word without being
obliged to prove it This is called
the oruculum vivae yocis.
Besides Cardinal Martinelli
seven other cardinals have had to
do with the church OF North
America. They are Cardinal
Cheyerus, the first Bishop Of Bos-
ton; Cardinal McCloskeY, Arch
bishop Of New York; Cardinal
Gibbons, OF Baltimore; Cardinal
Iaschereau, Of Quebec; Cardinal
PeTsico, Bishop Of Savannah; Car
dinal Mazzella, the Jesuit theOlo-
gian and professor at the college
Of Woodstock, Md, and Cardinal
oatoll, former delegate to the
United States. Ofthese Cardinals
Cheverus, PeTsico and Mazzella
had lett this country before they
we're created cardinals.
