and uncovered heads.
The fisherman's ring, not yet hav-
ing been found, q new ono was
placed on the pontiff's finger as a
symbol of renewed power and evi-
dence that the Catholic church has
once more a head.
In the meanwhile masons and car.
penters had been busy breaking
down doors, 80 that the cardinals.
deacons, together with the master OF
ceremonies and the conolavist and
many others might proceed to the
balcony of st. Peters. When the
windows on the balcony slowly opened
aid the great cleaning GROSS was
seen by the populaoe below the ex-
oitement and impatienoe heightened
to the extreme.
Slowly Cardinal Macchi, secretary
Of the congregation of the apostolic
briefs, advanced and exclaimed in a
loud voice:
"Annuntio vobis gradium magnum
habemus papem eminent,ssimum ct
reverendissimum dominum oardina-
lem, Joseph Sarto, qui sibi imposuit
nomen Plus x"
Then the bells of St. Peters
doomed out as did those Of all the
churches of Rome, giving the glad
news to the world.
HOW THE PEOPLE RECEIVED THE NEWS
st. Peters doomed out the three
quarters of the hour pas IL O'Clock
and there was still no sign of the
smoke Of announcement.
AS THE WINDOW OPENED.
A second later the great central
window of st. Peters facing the
piazza swung slowly open. A loud
shout arose and all rushed mealy
towards the cathedral At the open
window half a dozen vatican atten-
dants appeared. Suddenly there
broke out into the fierce sunlight a
gorgeous banner, bearing a cardinals
arms.
The tension was soon relieved.
Cardinal Macohi, carrying large
red book and preceded by a glitter
ing CROSS appeared at the window.
A wild shout went up. Cardinal
Macchi waved both hands for silence.
In second a solemn hush fell on
the scene, broken only by sharp
word of command from an officer and
the rattle wherewith troops brought
their rifles to the present. In clear
tones Cardinal Macchi read the pre-
amble, the people below meanwhile
being scarcely able to contain them
selves until he reached the word
"Sarto" when terrific roar went up.
Those out of hearing of the cardi-
naPs voice joined in the acolamation
and the whole square became one of
mon and women, throwing hats in
the air, shouting and cheering at the
top Of their voices.
MAD RUSH.
Those below instantaneously made
rush to go into st. Peters and a
mad scramble ensued for the basilica.
Thousands dashed towards the four
huge doors and in spite of their
width a. desperate jam occurred, in
which the women narrowly escaped
injury. Like II roaring wave the
people swept into St. Peters.
A wheat pit, in it's widest moments,
could not compare with the stately
wave OF ST. Peters at this moment.
THE PoPE's APPEARANCE.
At the gallery window stood Car
dlnal Matthew, Monsignor Merry del
Val and several other cardinals. The
center place was vacant.
In few moments terrific cheers
burst from every throat. There,
with the sun streaming in from the
window behind, was the new pope.
Ills newly received papal robes
showed resplendant amid the colora
of those who 81 ood beside him. For
