FIVE BALLOTS
AND NO POPE
CONTINUED From First Pase).

When the hour CT ssruck tremor
OF expectancy ran through the multi
tude. because. according to the pro-
gram, the burning of the ballots or
the announcement of an election would
come within few minutes. When the
Quarter-hour sounded. the nervous
ness increased. and a large number
of officials of the Vatican, not en-
gagged in the conclave. emerged TO
watch the concourse. As the hand on
the clock at St. Peters approached
the half-hour. a rumor that a selec-
ticn had been made developed in the
minds of many into n certainty. and
each one momentarily expected some
favored cardinal to be announced cs
the new pontiff
Another quarter of an hour passed.
and the anxiety grew moro intense.
Not a breath of air relieved the sultry
heat, and scarcely a sound came from
the vast multitude. Hundreds gath.
cred below the window from which
the new pontiff is to bestow his first
blessing. Suddenly, exactly at $40
p. m, a sharp cry arose: 'Ecco. ecco."
Instantly the cry was taken up by
$4,000 throats and grew and grew until
the immense piazza fairly roared with
"EccO. ecco; La Sfumata" Then ST.
lence fell like a spell while the thou
sands watched from the tin smoke
stack of the Sistine Chapel a tiny
stream of light gray smoke curl lazily
downward. With no wind to carry 1t
away the smoke hung heavily in the
hot air and then gradually disap-
peared.
For a moment the crowd believed
that the signal meant an election, for
there is a tradition that the cardinals
are allowed to send up a little smoke
rs a notification of an election and
much smoke in the case of a disagree
ment. Any such hopes. however, were
almost Immediately dissipated when
a cloud of very thick smoke emegred
and continued for five minutes.
There are thousands of rumors and
unverifed statements afoat as to
what happened in the conclave, but
the only thing which seems TO be re-
liably known is that the entire sacred
college assisted at mass. which was
conducted by Father Palmieri, their
confessor. and that the "Veni Creator"
was sung.
A great quantity Of provisions was
sent into the conclave through the
wicket gate, including 300 chick
ems, 500 newly-laid eggs. many litres
of milk, crates of fruit. etc. All the
provisions we're thoroughly examined
before being allowed to pass through
the wicket. Forty of the chickens
were cut open to see that they did
not contain contraband mater.

recently published in this paper signed

we answer personally We say that the
communication referred TO Gas well as
another from the same pen which ap-
pearcd on Saturday, was written by
Sussex countian. by one who has all
ways acted with the Union Republicans,
and who yet claims allegiance to that
party. In order to appeal to this crea-
ture Layton we offer to contribute 500

tribute a like amount to charity il we
can. None knows better than Dr. lay
ton what an argument money is. and,
therefore, we give him a chance to
supplement his salary as Secretary Of
State. We think that it is up to him
to answer; he has either lied without
taking pains to ascertain the truth. or
he has chance to expose us and at
the same time earn $4,000.

.rlE BOOM EoR eoRMAN.

Senator German is now most promi-
nently before the public mind as the
candidate Of the Democratic party for
the presidency. A year ago Bryan's
ncme was still potent to conjure with,
but the party leaders In the South and
East decided that the party should
cease making a fool of itself and its fol-
lowers and there was concerted

platform. Consequently the Judge Par
