yesterday. 81 think the way in
which funerals are treated is
ponstrous
Nearly every day the hideous
modern pageant of death passes
before my eyes.
NO one wants to pretend that
funeral is a joyous occasion. and
that 1t should be bright and
CHEEKY afair. Dut do feel that the
trappings of gloom should be re-
moved.
why should we use these awful
hearses and these dismal car
riages: Why should we wear
mournful black and drive behind
black horses2 .--. =
The funeral service might also
be improved. At present it seems
more occupied with the edifica-
tion Of the mourners rather than
with the soul of the man being

|, ROME. February 4.-The ballot
ing of the members of the Sacred
College for the successor of Pope
Benedict XIV today again proved
fruitless. Shortly before sundown,
the vast crowds which had assembled
AROUND the Vatican and st. Peters
dispersed with even greater disap-
pointment than on the previous even
ing. when failure TO select a pontiff
was announced by the black smoke
i issuing from the Sistine Chapel.

Guilty in untangling the immense as
semblage of pedestrians and vehicles
of all sorts that were huddled to-
gether awaiting throughout the day
the final announcement. And al
though there was considerable disorder,
only few minor accidents occurred.
Word came from the Vatican that
the three cardinals, Marini, Pompilj
and Bacilieri, who were suffering
from influenza, or colds, had suffi-
ciently recovered to take a personal
part in the proceedings today. In
consequence of this the work Of
balloting was considerably facilitat-
ed. But impenetrable secrecy sur
rounds the deliberations of the con-
clave and nothing has been. divulged
thus Tar that would indicate the
position in the voting of the cardi-
, nals. Reports appearing in the
newspapers purporting to relate to
the progress made in the conclave
are characterized by Vatican officials
as absurd and fantastic"
Cardinal O'Connel Nears.
Prior to the opening of the conclave,
the Vatican was stocked with what was
considered an ample food supply. to
carry the cardinals through the election
period, but it became necessary today
to withdraw 100000 lire from the bank
for further provisions, portending a
protracted duration of the conclaye, in
] which event Cardinal O'Connell, arch
bishop of Boston, who is speeding to
Rome, will likely arrive in time to take
part in the later sessions. -,
No definite announcement has come
from the conclave las to the course to
be pursued on Sunday. In some quar-
ters it is believed that the usual work
of the conclave would be suspended for
the religious ceremonies in which the
cardinals will take part among them
selves But as they make their own
rules of procedure. they could If they SO
desired, proceed with the balloting on
Sunday There is no disposition, how
ever, to indicate in advance what pro-
cedure may be adopted, or when
another vote will be taken.
