FORMATION AND CUSTOMS
OF COLLEGE OF CARDINAL Is,

actively employed in Vatican business and
receive from the church an annual salary
of 5000. Cardinals not stationed at Rome
receive nothing from the church, but de-
rive their income from their home charges.
Cardinal Gibbonss income consists of the
emoluments connected with the position CT
Archbishop of Baltimore.
In Difference to an old tradition Cardinal
Is not permitted to walk upon the streets
of Rome. He must ride in Il carriage tay-
ing four wheels and which is drawn by two
horses, both of which must be black. Two
attendants must ride with him. Cardinal
Gibbons upon his arrival in Rome will have
to be provided with such equipment before
he can proceed to the Vatican
CONFINED TO VATICAN.
In the city of Rome the only place a
Cardinal can enjoy an open-air walk is in
the Vatican grounds. 1t Is an ordinary
sight to see Cardinal drive past the city
limits. alight from his carriage and take
a constitutional On such occasions .he at
tendants must keep within a certain dis
lance and his conveyance must also be close
at hand.
The Pope Is a prisoner of the Vatican.
Since the taking away from the church of
its temporal power the Pope has never left
its walls. for by SO doing ne would rec1g-
nize the laws of Italy. Another and older
reason for his not leaving the grounds is
the fact that he must be accompanied by
the papal guard. Upon this guards appear
ance in the streets of Rome there might lie
a conflict.
The salary of the Pope is not definitely
known. and 1t is probable that published
estimates of his wealth have been greatly
exaggerated. 1t is said he has no income
except that arising from his personal prop
erty and Peters Pence. Once Il year in all
the parishes of the world the Peters Pence
offering is taken and forwarded to Rome.
a. Cardinal. upon being elected Pope, is
approached and asked If he Will accept the
office. If his answer is in the affirmative
he is then asked what name he will take.
As rule Cardinals are great students of
church history. and without exception are
admirers of some particular parsonage. The
name of this person is generally taken. ard
II there has been previous Pope by the
same name the proper numeral is suffixed.
a Pope elect may choose n name absolute
ly new to the papal line.
POPE'S RING BROKEN.
The Pope. like every member of the Cath
olic Church. has confessor This confessor
he himself appoints. and the position is con-
sidered one of great honor.
The ring of a Pope after his death is
broken and the set saved. The Vatican
goldsmith Immediately places the stone in
a gold band. and this new ring is presented
to the successor.
The magnificent vestments In which
Pope is buried are the property of the
church. Most of his personal adornments
are also the property of the church. and
with all gifts are preserved in the Vatican
museum. His private jewery and properties
are disposed of by WILL
Pope Leo XIII made a document, leaving
his possessions to his relatives All of these
relatives before his death took VOWS not in
any way to thwart the provisions of the last
testament.
