requiem masses for Pope Leo was cele-
brsted in the Sistine Chapel Cardinal

Those present at the mass included

cials OF the Vatican Special pontifieal
prayers were offered, and the masses
ended with the hymn. 'Libera Me.
Domino. de Morte Aeterna." and the

The chapel presented a slightly al
tered appearance, the floor having been
raised to the level Of the altar, the
sixty-four booths for the cardinals
erected, and the tables and other fur
n'ture having been arranged.
Another strong candidate for the
choice OF the conciave has developed in
Cardinal de Pietro. cardinal-chief OF the
office OF briefs. He IS a sanity man of
seventy-fve. with whose career a re-
markable prophecy is connected. When
Pietro was fifteen years OF age. and was
attending a seminary at Tivon. he mad
occasion one day to walk 20 VicovaTo,

"Chosen Of God"
On his way an aged monk accosted
him. and fell TO the ground, kissing his
feet. and saying:
God has chosen you 10 be Pope. 1
salute you now, as 1 shall be dead be-
fore you are elevated 10 the throne"
Pietro would be a purely religious
Pope. and not interested in politics.
