OF precious stopes. The number % chai-
ices and vssssis used in the ceremonies

all more or less richly incrusted with
jewels of every existing variety. The

chosen by ballot. Should any cardinal

CARDINAL CANDIDATES FOR THE CHAIR Of PETER,

Since 1895 one Of the popular factors in
every election OF Pope has been a Sc
ries OF prophecies attributed TO an Irish
monk. St Malachy, Archbishop OF Ar
magh. IL is supposed TO predict the sue
cession of the POpcs to the end OF the
world. II gives TO each Pontin an cpl
grammatic title. and a number OF strlk-
ing condolences thus falling IN have add
ed to the repute in which Il has been
commonly held
According 10 these prophecies there are
TO be only ten more Popes. The title OF
the next one is 20 be "Ignls Ardens." or
blazing fire." Modern investigators into
ecclesiastical records pronounce these
Malachian prophecies" apocryphaI and
that they are az best only literary curios-
tiles, first published by Arnold Wion. a
monk OF Monte Casino In 1896 while st
Malachy died in ll4S.

in 1888 Mgr Peccl was named governor
Of the Papal Province Of Benevento and.
like SiNtus V, buSed himself with the
suppression OF brigandage. In connec-
tion with this work the following story
was told OF Mgr. Pecci: A certain Mar

what he considered the interference OF
the governor and informed the latter that
ne was just starting for Rome to pro-
cure his recall.
