1.-THE End.l
POLITICS IN PAPAL COLLEGE.
The Choice Of q New Pope Not Free
from Wire Pulling.

New York Independent.
Will it surprise anybody to learn that
Notwithstanding all these strict rules and
these solemn Oaths, there Is often a great
deal of wire pulling and electioneering in
conclave? Since cardinals are but human,
after all, we ought. perhaps, to expect moth
ing else. The shrewdest American politician,
trained in all the tricks of caucuses and
conventions, could teach these princes of the
church nothing. Cases have been notorious
in which pontiffs have secured their election
by promises of preferment and other advan-
tages to their fellow cardinals. Equally no.
torious cases in which cardinals have
forced pledges from a colleague as a condi-
ton of election, which he has afterward re-
pudiated fulfilled only under severest
pressure. And as so often happens in our
presidential contests. the successful candi-
date Is frequently not one of the several
who have been holly pressed by friends, or
have used all their arts TO advance them
selves, but a dark horse" Some of the
est and worst, of the Popes have been chos-
en- because the favorites were only strong
enough in the conclave to kill off each other
When. by any of these methods, an cleo
ton has been made, the dean OF the cardi-
nails goes to the Pope-elect, and in a loud
voice asks, DO you accept the election,
economically made, to the supreme p0ntifi-
cate?" The answer is communicated 10 the
assembly by the project of ceremonies. By
second question the dean asks the new Pope
what name he wishes TO take and on receiv-
ing his reply announces IL in a loud voice to
the electors. The official act OF election and
acceptance Is then prepared, and In the
meantime the Pope is conducted to the altar.
If he has not gone there at once on n0tifica-
ton of his election. The robes Of a cardinal
are removed, and the pontifical garb made
ready in advance, Is put upon him. He is
then placed chair back TO the altar.
the chamberlain puts on his finger the fish
erman's ring, and all the cardinals in turn
give him the first obeisance. kneeling before
him and kissing his foot and hand, and re-
ceiving from him the kiss of peace. The first
official act of the new pontiff is TO confirm
the powers OF the former chamberlain, or,
IL he prefers, to appoint another.
Preceded by a choir singing "Ecce Su-
cerdos Magnus." the senior cardinal deacon
goes 10 the balcony and says 10 the people:
Il announce to you great JOY We have as
Pope the most eminent and most reverend
-. cardinal OF the Holy Roman Church,
who has taken the name OF - And thus
the world Is made aware that the church
has a new Pope.

BRONCO BUSTER IN CONGRESS.
Oklahoma Sends Bird Mcclure,
Mighty Man, to Represent Her.
kansas CITY Jollrnal-.

Kansas City Journal
The Hon. Bird s. Mcclure is a man after
Roosevelt's own heart. Mr.. MCGUIRE when
he takes his oath in Washington next
winter will be known as the very best all
round athlete and wrestler in Congress. He
is five feet eleven inches tall, weighs 1876
pounds, has chest him big as a
barrel and is superbly and gracefully built
He is as strong and sound physically as he
is mentally and has never smoked nor
chewed. nor tasted a drop of Intoxicating
liquors, and he never uttered an oath till
he became a politician, which was when
he became about ten years old.
The new delegate from Oklahoma has
been In politics practically since the day
he first began to think He was born in
Illinois Oct. ID, 1866. His parents, while
he was an infant, went to Randolph county,
Missouri. where they lived on a farm until
all emigrated to Chautauqua county, Kan
sas. But young Bird gave up farming,
went on the range and roamed the country
over as a cowboy from the Rockies to the
river and from Kansas to the gulf. This
in the days when there was plenty of
bad Indians, deSperadoes and big game,
and Mcclure developed into as nervy a
bronco buster and skillful a marksman
as ever rode the trail.
But this was a life for business and not
pleasure with Mcclure. He put the money
he made I'm bank instead of in poker and
whisky and came out 81 100 to the good
after two and one-half years or this stormy
career. Then in 1884 he went to the Normal
tended for a year the law school at Law
renee. but off and on he taught school and
continued at that profession until 1889,
teaching at Jonesburg and at Sedan. the
county seat of Chautauqua county, Kansas.
In the spring of 1889 he was elected county
attorney on the Republican ticket, holding
the position for four years, part of which
time he also served mayor of Sedan. At
one election he was the only man of his
party elected. and at all other times he ran
ahead of his ticket. and famous in
Kansas as being the youngest person who
ever held the office of mayor or county
attorney i'm the stare.
Mr.. Mcclure went 10 Oklahoma in the fall
of 1893 and his friends say that this move
was made with the avowed intention of
running for Congress. His home is at Paw
nee From 1896 TO 1902 he was assistant
United States district attorney, and per-
haps has sent more criminals 10 the peni-
Tertiary and the gallows than any other
lawyer in the territories. He has over two
hundred convicts TO his credit now serving
time at Fort Leavenworth. He was largely
instrumental, along with the famous Mar
shalls Tiliman. Fossett and Heck Thomas.

Craven gangs OF outlaws.

With which well-covered confession of his
own defeat, Francis STROBE away. AS he
turned, however, he caught the smile of the
Duchesse d Etampes and crossed to her gra-
ciously.

said.
She glanced down at herself demurely; her
lashes yelled a sudden CLEAN of triumph.
How kind of you, sire, to notice-my poor
gown"

fully, as he saw King and favorite walking
together. mo one will ever replace the
duchess"
Silent hand in hand, the duke and the
joculatrix stood upon the balcony. Below
them lay the earth, wrapped in haZy light.
Behind them, the court, with it's glamour.

the King as 1 have done?" he said finally.
Are you content to resign all-forever-
here in France? To go with me-"
Into a new world" she interrupted.

hesitated, and were like to leave me behind

She turned. About her lips trembled the
old fleeing smile.

Her eyes became grave on a sudden. 1T

long,

He caught her suddenly in her arms. his
fine young features aglow. This then was
the goal of his desires: goal of delight, far,
far beyond all youthful dreams or early
imaginings. With dropping eyelids, she
stood i'm his embrace; she, once so proud, so
self-willed. He drew her closer-kissed her
hair!-the rose.-
She raised her head, and-sweeter still
he kissed her lips.
Across the valley the shadow receded

apolis at the end of last season in his re-

the management of Charles Frohman and
William Harris. The piece selected for him
is my Lady Molly" which had highly
successful run at Terry's Theater In Lon

stated, but straight comic opera. in which
Mr. Mack is to sing the leading role. The
book is by G.. II. Jessop and the music by
Sidney Jones, the composer of THE Gel

Mack will be seen in Indianapolis during

knowing we'll Franciss headstrong passions,

at that moment her heart sank; she felt on
the brink of an abyss; a nameless peril
toward which she had drawn the companion
of her flight. 1t seemed an endless interval
before the monarch spoke.
''Ah, you heard!' remarked Francis at
length, satirically.

His voice was steady. his face pale, but in
his blue eyes a CLINT as of fire came and
went. Self assurance marked his bearing;
dignity, pride. He looked not at the young
girl, but calmly met the scrutiny of the
King. The latter surveyed him from head to
foot; then suddenly stared hard at a sword
whose hilt CLEANED even brighter than his
own, and was fashioned in a form that re-
called not imperfectly a hazard of other
days.
