coNcLAvE OF CARDINALS.
How They Conduct the Election of a
Pontiff at Rome.

In the natural course of things the
interest of millions of people in every
part Of the world will some day be TO
cused on the mysterious conclave of
cardinals which will meet in the Sistine
chapel to elect new pope. The world
outside the walls of the chapel can
catch no glimpse of all the mysteries
and quaint ceremonials that attend the
election; but they can all be graphical
ly pictured from the evidence Of man
who has been privileged to witness
them.
On the 18th day after the death of
the pope the cardinals walk, two and
two, In solemn procession to the chapel
OF st. Gregory, escorted by an armed
guard and singing the ''Veni Creator"
Each cardinal then takes formal pos
session Of the cell with must be his
home until the election Of successor
to the dead pontiff releases him. These
cells, which are ranged round the walls
Of hall adjoining the Sistine chapel,
are small, rough structures of boards,
curtained on one side and bearing the
arms Of the cardinals who occupy them.
Each cell contains the barest and plain
est furniture, consisting Of bed, a
table and chair.
After the cardinals have inspected and
taken possession Of their cells, they are
at liberty to return to their homes on
condition that they are back at the vat
lean before 9 o'clock in the evening; for
at this hour all doors are locked and
are walled up on the inside with ma
sorry with the exception Of single
doubly-locked door, for egress in case
Of illness. Any cardinal, however, who
passes through this door may not re-
turn again.
With the immured cardinals are lock-
ed up two doctors, surgeon, and an
apothecary, two BARRIERS, mason, and
carpenter, In addition to a small army
Of personal attendants, Of whom each
cardinal Is allowed two.
Twice day meals are handed In to
the imprisoned cardinals through a
temporary opening made In the ma
sorry, which is quickly built up again;
and each article Of food Is carefully ex-
amined, that no COMMUNICATION from out
side may be conveyed In 1t.
The election is held in the adjoining
Sistine chapel, around which the card
inals' thrones, draped in green and vio-
let cloth, are ranged, each cardinal oc-
cupying his own separate throne. On
the altar are two massive gold chalices,
and on a long, low table in front Of the
altar are silver bowls for use In the
scrutiny Of votes.

Miss Pauline Astor has again flashed
meteor-like across the sky OF public
