came preteXts for the government of
Paris to break off diplomatic relations
with the court of Rome. Meanwhile the
Law of Separation had been already
ready prepared, despoiling the Church
in France, and also prescribing for the
Church constitution which if not
openly contrary to her nature was at
least full of danger to her. Plus x
paid no attention to the counsels of
shortsighted opportunism, and firmly
refused his consent to the formation
of Associations Cultuelles. The sep
aration brought some freedom to the
French Church, especially in the mat
ter of the selection of it's pastors.
Plus X, not looking for reprisals, still
recognized the right of French protec-
torate over Catholics in the east Some
phrases of the encyclical "Editae
Saepe, written on the occasion of the
centenary of st. Charles, were mis-
interpreted by Professionals, especially
in Germany, and Plus x made
declaration in refutation of them with
out belittling the authority of his high
office. The relations of the Holy See
with the republics of Latin America
are good. The delegations to Chile
and the Argentine Republic were
raised to the ranks of Internunciatures
and an Apostolic Delegate was sent
to Central America. Naturally the
solicitude of Plus K extended to his
own habitation and he has done a
great deal of work of restoration in

TO BE OBSERVED IN
THE ELECTION OF A POPE-A
TWO-THIRDS VOTE OF ALL
PRESENT NECESSARY FOR
ELECTION.

1t may not be undressing to our
readers to learn something about the
method of procedure in electing a
Pope.
The word conclave applies both to
the closed room or hall especially pre-
pared for the Cardinals when electing
a Pope, and to the assembly Of the
Cardinals for this specific purpose.
AS soon as possible after the Pope's
death notice is sent to the Cardinals
in all parts of the world notifying
them of the death of the Pontiff and
of the impending election of success
sor The Cardinals in Rome await the
arrival of the Cardinals from a
distance and on the tenth day all
the Cardinals present in the Eter-
nal City enter the conclave and re-
main there, locked in and shut off
from all communication with the outer
world, until new Pope is elected.
Unless the present disturbed state of
Europe necessitates change in the
date of assembling, the coming con-
clave will meet on August 80, in a
part of the Vatican Palace which is
now being arranged for that purpose
and which will contain seventy
apartments, each of which has accom-
modations for Cardinal, his secretary
and servant who attend him during
the conclave All are sworn to secre-
cy. Access to the conclave is through
one door only which is securely
locked after the Cardinals have en-
tered. Once the conclave begins the
door is not again opened until the
election is announced except to admit
a Cardinal who is late in arriving. All
communication with the outside is
strictly forbidden under pain of loss
of office and communication. How
ever, in case of sickness, Certified
under oath by physician Cardinal
may leave the conclave and return,
but no other official is allowed to do
so. Whatever is necessary in the
way of food, ETC., is passed in through
OPENINGS provided for this purpose.
The food and even the clothing of
the Cardinals is searched lest they
should contain correspondence from
outside.
The conclave opens officially on the
evening of the tenth day after the
Pope's death, unless another day has
been assigned. Early in the morning
of the eleventh day the Cardinals as
semble in the chapel and assist at
Mass celebrated by the Cardinal Dean,
from whom they receive Holy Com
munion, and listen to a Latin address
on their obligation to select the most
worthy person for the Chair of Peter.
After Mass they retire for while and
then assemble in the chapel where the

the present anti-Catholic crusade, was
the result of surveillance that covered
several months, and it is an echo of
the anti-Catholic campaign in Char
lotte during the summer and fall of
1913, during which time Dr. Clifford's
two sisters were dismissed as public
school teachers on account of their
being Catholics. A meeting at which
non-Catholics as we'll as Catholics pro-
tested against this outrage was fol-
lowed by anti-Catholic meetings, at
one of which the notorious ex-priest
Crowley read letter of sympathy
which had been addressed to DR.. Cliff
ford by William B. Daughtrey, of
Portsmouth, Va, but which DR.. Cliff
ford had not received. The letter was
also published in THE Menace" The
Junior Order of American Mechanics,
in which Alexander, the accused clerk,
is prominent, was active in the anti
Catholic demonstrations.

of pennies and his other filled with
candies. To the poor children who
came running toward him he would
give the pennies and to the better
dressed ones the candies. This kind
ness to the children always won the
parents and sometimes he would find
himself surrounded by great crowd
of women and children. He was al
ways sympathetic with the people
who told him their little troubles
cobblers, fishermen, washerwomen,
and others. In little while they look
ed upon him as a personal friend and
the Cardinal never suggested that he
did not remember the particular per-
son with whom he was speaking, but
treated every one as an old acquaint-
ance and friend. He visited the
middle class people as frequently and
with as much apparent pleasure as
the nobility. The poor loved him as
the Good Cardinal"

THE COMING CONCLAVE

actual voting takes place. Six candles
are lighted on the altar and in front of
it on a table rests the paten and
chalice to be used in voting. Before
proceeding to the actual voting a
search is made to assure the Cardinals
that none but those entitled to vote
are present.
Each Cardinal writes the name OF
the candidate he would elect in the
center of the voting ticket. This is OF
an oblong form, prepared according to
the directions Of the Bull of Gregory
XIV. At the foot Of the altar the voter
lifts up his hand and exhibits the
ticket between his thumb and finger
He then kneels and prays for a mo-
ment, after which he takes oath that
he is about to elect him whom, accord
ing to God, he thinks ought to be
elected. He then puts the ticket on
the paten and slips it from thence into
the chalice, which he covers up again
Then he makes anew reverence be-
fore the altar and returns to his place.
When all have voted in like man
ner the six tellers examine the papers
and proclaim the result. If no Car
dinal has obtained the required num-
Der of votes-two-thirds Of the number
of Cardinals present-the result is de-
clared void, and the voting papers,
collected together, are burned in a
brazier with damp straw, the dense
n
particular chimney, visible from out
side, and proclaims to the outer world
that no election has taken place.
Heretofore the burning of the bal
lots closed the session Of the day, and
the conclave adjourned until the even
ing. Five years ago, however, Pope
Plus x introduced an important
change in the method of electing his
successor. Instead of having but two
ballots each day the new ruling pro-
vides for four ballots, two in the
morning and two in the evening. Thus
to take just half the time occupied
by them during the last seven cen
turtles.
Proceeding with the election by bal
lot, voting is continued on the lines
indicated until choice is reached.
The result. is then announced by the
ringing of a bell and all the senior
Cardinals advance to the place occu-
pied by the newly chosen Pontiff and
inquire if he accepts the election. On
giving an affirmative answer, he is
at once saluted by the entire college.
The new Pope then retires to robe
himself in the Pontifical vestments.
On his return the Fisherman's Ring is
placed on his finger, and the new Vicar
Of Christ gives his solemn benediction
to the members of the Sacred College
from the steps of the altar.
The Papal Chamberlain announces
the election from the balcony of st.
Peters to the assembled multitudes
Finally the new Pope is led to
the balcony of st. Peters, from which
he blesses the people assembled there.

Finally we must not forget his gen

asked for the assistance of Catholics
throughout the world, with the result
that they contributed at the time OF
the last earthquake nearly seven mil

the wants of those in need and to
build churches, schools, etc. His
charity was proportionately no less on
the occasion of the eruption of We.

great practical and lasting results in
the interests of Catholic doctrine and
discipline and that in the face of great
difficulties of, all kinds. Even non
Catholics recognized his apostolic
spirit, his strength of character, the
precision of his decisions and his pur-
suit of a clear and explicit program.

value of the enactments of Plus X

EARLY IRISH ART
SKILL AND KNOWLEDGE WHICH
HAVE NEVER BEEN
SURPASSED.

Professor Culverwell, of Trinity Col
lege, Dublin, in a recent lecture, said
that before the inroads of the Danes
and the English destroyed the
splendor of her civilization, not only
was Ireland the foremost in intellec-
tual development of Christian lands,
but even in the scanty remains which
escaped destruction there was con-
vincing evidence of the most super
lative Irish dexterity in the finest of
work. The Books of Kells and
Armagh had never been approached
for their delicate skill of their
tracery.
Referring to the Book of Kells,
Professor Westwood, of Oxford, with
all the skill and knowledge that he
had acquired during fifty years in such
work, wrote that he could not con-
ceive how men could have the eyes
and the tools to do it. knowing pretty
well, he added, all the libraries in
Europe where books of the same
type appeared, he could safely affirm
that there was no such book in any
of them that within a space of three
eighths of a square inch he counted
with magnifying glass, 1873 inter
lacements of a slender ribbon-pattern,
formed of white lines edged by black
ones. No modern copyist, said Pro-
lessor Culverwell, with all his advan-
tages of magnifying glasses and all
the finest of steel pens, could approach
the work of these earlier scribes.
Examined with lens the firm lines
of their tracery showed no uneyeness,
such as appeared in all modern work
Yet, they used quill-pens. Where did
they find the skill to cut them to such
eXquisitely fine points? Truly, the
nerves which directed the fingers of
these men must have been far more
finely organized than ours. But it
seemed that the illumination of these
books was nothing uncommon at the
time, for, while one of them was
praised as having a remarkably fine
binding, nothing was said of the
fineness Of the text itself.
In metal work, and especially in
good work, and also in leather work,
these early Irish craftsmen greatly
eXcelled. Even if the Tara Brooch,
chance find on the seashore near
Drogheda, were the finest specimen
ever made in Ireland, it proved them
to be craftsmen of unequalled skill in
their own arts.
Manual arts were held in high es-
TEEN. st. Patrick had in his house
hold smiths, braziers and other ar
fist, themselves ecclesiastics, and
therefore highly educated. The chief
smith was a Bishop. The same name
Ollave, was applied to the head of
profession and the head of a craft.

The next convention Of the Union
will take place the second week in

The National President of the c. T.
A. U. is Vice President Of the Execu-
tive Committee appointed by the
Federal Government to receive the
foreign delegates to the Congress and
arrange for their entertainment.
Among the resolutions we note the
following:
1--WE recommend that the subordi-
nate unions be directed to employ every
active measure toward the dissemina-
ton of total abstinence ideas, among
our school children, to this end, that
Catholic educators and instructors be
persuaded to teach total abstinence in
the Christian doctrine and physiology
classes.
Realizing that the all-important
work of our union is the intoxicating
of total abstinence ideas in the youth,
we urge and appeal to our clergy and
iaity to organize and maintain juVe-
nile societies in their respective par
ishes for the attraction of these young
people"

At the time of the Popes death the
Cardinal Camerlengo, Cardinal Della
Volpe, was at Imola and when he re-
ceived the sad announcement he i'm
nediately repaired to Rome where he
arrived several hours after the Pope
had breathed his last. He is the Off
cial who must certify to the Pontiff's
death. After his arrival he entered
the chamber of death, knelt in prayer
or few moments and then approach
ing the bed whereon the body lay, he
drew back the veil which covered the
Pontiff's face and, as required by the
traditional method of procedure,
called aloud three times the baptismal
name of the dead Pope. Receiving
40 answer, he announced "the Pope
is dead"
After certifying to the death of the
Pope, Cardinal Della Volpe then made
arrangements to assume the provision

a new Pontiff is chosen, for by virtue

Pope's death, twenty-three members
of the Sacred College held their first

government of the Church and make
preparations for the Conclave which
is to elect the next Pope and which,
in accordance with the usual proce-
dure in such cases, should open on the
tenth day after the death of the Holy
Father. The meeting was held at the
Vatican. All the Cardinals wore
violet capes as a sign of mourning.

Social Problems.

Plus X wished the Church to CO.
operate or rather to play a leading
part in the solution of social questions.
His views on this subject were formu-
lated in syllabus of nineteen propo-
sitions, taken from different encycli-
Gals and other acts of Leo XIII and
published in a Motu Proprio especially
for the guidance of Catholics in Italy
and other European countries. The
desire of Plus X was for the economic
work to be avowedly Catholic. In
France the Sillon after promising well
had taken a turn that was little re-
assuring to orthodoxy and dangers in
this connection were made manifest
in the encyclical "Notre Charge Apos-
tolique,'' in which the Sillonists were
ordered to place their organizations
under the authority of the bishops.
In its relation with governments the
pontificate of Plus X had to carry on
painful struggles. In France, the Pope
had inherited quarrels and menaces.
The ''Nobis Nominayit' question was
settled through the condescension of
the Pope, but the matter of the ap-
