Edirorial Room ELECTING A POPE. Those who may have an idea that Cardinal Gibbons may have a chance to become the next Pope are evident- ly giving ‘expression as to what s their wish rather than what is their belief. The.evidence is that the suc- cessor to Pius ‘X. will be an Italian for the reason’ that of the sixty-five cardinals who will constitute the con- clave, thirty-three are Italians = and the remaining thirty-two are from different countries, only thrce being Americans, so that it is easy to un- derstand where the choice will come from. It does not follow that the Pope must be chosen from among the cardinals but he must be a priest. The election of a Pope is conducted very secretly. As soon as the pope breathes his last the cardinal cham- berlain takes possession of the apos- tolic palace. He Droceeds to the death chamber, assures himself of the death of the pope and in- structs a notary to certify to the fact that the pope is really dead. ‘Then the ring of the fisherman is lbroken and the seal.destroyed. The body is embalmed and carried in pro- cession to the chapel of the Blessed Sacrament in the Vatican basilica, ('where it remains for three days, the feet protsuding a little through an lopening in the iron railing which in- closes the chapel, that the faithful imay approach and kiss the embroia- ered slipper. The nine days of funeral service are [gone through with. During the last three days the services are performed labout an elevated and magnificent catafalque. On ‘each of these days five cardinals in turn give the absolu- ion, and on the ninth day a funeral oration is pronounced. The body is Jreverently put.into a leaden case prop- lerly inscribed. and, then all is placed in & wooden ‘box covered With a red jpall, and in this condition it is car- ried to the last Testing:place, previ- ously selected by the deceased. On the tenth day the cardinals as- emble in the forenoon, and the prep- larations are made for the conclave. [All the persons who are to remain in the conclave—as prelates, custodians, attendants on the eardinals, physi- cians, barbers, masons—are passed in review hnd take an oath npt to speak leven among- themselves of matters concerning the election. Every avenue leading to the ocon- clave, except the eight loopholes, is ‘walled up by the masons; but one door is left so that it may be opened by the late coming cardinals or to let out any one who may be expelled, or who for any good reason may be obliged to go out. One who leaves cannot return. This only door has a combination lock, to be opened by the key of the prince marshal outside land of the cardinal chamberlain in- ide. The next day, after the mass of the [Holy Ghost, the balloting begins, and ontinues until some one receives the necessary two thirds. <The ballots are cast into a chalice on the altar. BARNES IS PLEASED, Willlam Barnes says that he is well pleased with the outcome of the re- publican convention in New York and adds that Colonel Roosevelt did not control it. He says that District At- torney Whitman sentiment leads m he fight for governor in the primaries land that he expects to see Mr. Hin- man beaten. If the latter should be accomplished it looks as if it will place the colonel on the shelf, His lstrensth must be shown in the New 'York primaries; he has declared for Mr. Hinman and has denounced Mr. \Whitman, and if he fails to land his candidate a winner it would seem as i it would be proof beyond all doubt that he is no longer the political pow- er he once was and must retire to private life. It is too early, however, to pin absolute faith to the statement of Mr. Barnes. He undoubtedly sees things according to his wishes and he may yet be'beaten. Senator Root has refused to cofhment on the situation, but - this may be’ tdken ‘as evidence lof mature sagacity in political mat- rather fhan to a lack of knowl- o' the” conditicns. M‘Hy is premins for a con- )Lm end it & an- nounced that Leader Murphy is 1n-‘ clined to favor W. R. Hearst for Unit- ed States senator. Should this plan be carried out it would mean that the Hearst papers would support the democratic ticket and this means an influence of much value in a' cam- paign such as will be waged in New York this fall. Murphy is a pretty foxy politician, who is out to win no matter whom he has to support in or- der to do so. Whether Mr. Hearst would be a strong candidate is an- other question. His nomination by the democrats, however, would keep him in line and that would be better than to have him.on the other side or run- ning an independent ticket. Murphy possibly would ‘not shea any. tears if he were beaten, provided the Te- mainder: of the ticket won. WHAT SHOULD A DESTITUTE MAN DO? A resident of Chicago has become discouraged, he is out of work, out of money and is to be evicted from his home. He feels his condition keenly and has sent a lettér to the chief justice of the criminal court of the city, of which the following is a part: “I should like to propound to . the public a final question: What is to become of me? What shall'I do? I am to be forced to the wall by denial ang starvation—I hope through no fault of mine—but it-has come to this. “Soclety shall pay dearly for this. If everything is denied one then a person must make a violent outbreak. I have thus far pursued my business honestly, but through unionizing and the exclusion of me individually it is very hard and I have been driven to the extreme and I am compelled to do something I otherwise would not have done. I wil] not so readily throw down my gun—first it must perform service. Provisions are all gone. Even a flve days’ notice ‘to move or pay up has been served on me. What, then, is now left?” There are a great many people in Chicago, some of whom are of a vio- lent turn of mind, and lest the author of the letter should be one of that class, the judge turned the matter over to the police. That, however, does not dispose of the case. It is a sad predicament for any man to be in, but in order to properly judge the matter it would 'be necessary to first know the man’s habits, his family, if he has one, whether he has been con- stantly employed, and if not, why not. It has been said that no man who has been industrious ever finds him- self in the position explained by this destitute man in Chicago, providea that his habits have been as they should have been. It is possible, how- ever, that a man’s financial condition may be so reduced by illness as to take the savings of a lifetime. There has been such a case in New Britain where a man who died the other day in the poorhouse because he met with an accident which so crippled him as to render him unfit for his usual labor. He used up his savings of a lifetime and when they were gone he became a public charge and died as a dependent. It looks as if the same avenue is open to the man who sent the letter to the Chicago judge. There does not appear to be any help for it under our system of government, But, on the other hand, there has never been a system devised which will elim- inate poverty. There have always been poor people and there always will be while the world lasts. It does not seem as if it can be otherwise. The best any man can do is to work and save for the day when he cannot work or when there will be an extraordi- nary demand made upon him, and if he is not equal to the demands then he must became a burden .o friends, relatives or the community. The lat- ter s bound to take care of the poor, but hope is gone when that point is reached. BECKY OUT AGAIN, Becky Edelson left the workhouse at Blackwell’s Island yesterday after serving thirty-one days, and she has had a surety company furnish a bond that she will keep the peace for the next three months, Her feelings have not improved during her incarcera- tion, for as soon as she was given her Uberty she visited the office of an anarchistic publication and wrote out a long statement in which she de- nounced the authorities at the work- house, said the: prisoners suffer from a lack of food, that served being of the foulest kind; five to six women “have to sleep in. the same cell and every day many prisoners are carried to the hospital on stretchers. Suth & statement from Becky is not surpris- ing, but the public will hardly accept her statemept that she did not par- take of food or drink during her term of gentence, except small quantities of water which she took as medicine, It was made apparent in the early part of her incarceration that food had’ been smuggled into Becky and the workhouse physicians noted that though she was not partaking of any food at the institution, she showed none of the effects that accompany abstinence:- from. food.. The. author- ities announced that when Becky's condition showed that she needea food if she refused to eat what was given her she would be fed forcibly. Presumably this program has been carried and Becky has suffered any of the pangs of hunger while ou the island. She will go away for a time so as to recuperate, she says, from heér hunger strike, What a foolish life for a woman to lead and how simple she and her associates must be to fmagine that they have any influence in the work of human- ity. /They are really idlers and serve no useful purpose. out not FACTS AND FANCIES, They say a high silk hat, properly placed on the water, will hold enough airfto keep a man from drowning; but who in thunder ever goes in swimming wearing a high silk hat?— Bridgeport Telegram.

(Detroit Free Press.) Nearer home than the theater of slaughter in Europe, grim tragedy is writing its lessons that all may read, writing them as they have been writ- ten since the dawn of civilization. Months ago a married man and a married woman of Chicago deserted the mates they had legally contract- ed; they fled the homes they had helped to build, to adorn, to make happy. They tore up family ties; they broke the allegiance of children; they defied the convention of society, the restraints of law, the rules on which home and family and all that these names imply must forever rest. They gave way to overpowering pas- sion for one another and broke every barrier. They went to Wisconsin and built a dwelling there and occu- pied it in deflance of the openly ex- pressed opinions and wishes of .\many people of the vicinity. The names of Frank Lloyd Wright and Mamah Borthwick Cheney became bywords, almost. Their life was the subject of common gossip wherever scandal is printed and read .and discussed. Their example gave daring to other, weaker ones to do somewhat like- wise—persons, some of them, who might perhaps have trodden their pathway circumspectly to the end. The other day a negro, mad, some say, the hired assassin of plotters, others say, hatchet and torch in hand, ran amuck in that unconventional dwelling and the woman and two in- nocent children paid the forfeit of their lives and crackling flames all but devoured their bodies. Tragically begun, this alllance is tragically ended. It is given to few to start wrong and end well. Some- where, somehow, sometime, the mys- terious law of compensation steps in to bring the balance even. This un- conventional pair broke the wall about the sanctum sanctorum of home, They have paid a terrible price. Let the world, while it pities their fate and mourns their folly, take warning. Women’s Gowns and War, (Providence Journal.) The full significance of one feminine interpretation of General Sherman's celebrated definition of war is likely to be appreciated within the next few months, The great Parislan dress- making establishments are in a state of stagnation, and no one can tell when their normal activities will be resumed. What this will mean to the feminine world of fashion in this country is scarcely appreciable as yet, but the full weight of it will be brought home to the innocent victims before the last of November. The im- mediate suffering is deferred, merely because the fall fashions have already been prepared and are ready for the markets, But of Parisian fashions for the winter and for next spring there will be none, and of course no fashion is real unless it is Parisian. Feminine: fashion, for the first time in nearly a half century, has suffered a complete paralysis, merely by the calling of all the men milliners and dressmakers of Paris to the battle- field. And for these great men there are no acceptable substitutes. In their absence there are no worthy artists to take up the abandoned chalk and . shears. All sartorial invention sinks perforce into an innocuous desuetude. What are the millions of sufferers in this country to do in this almost unprecedented crisis? Are they (o become mere dowdies in dress, and is the American landscape to become afflicted with an appalling grotes- querle in feminine raiment? Clearly this is an emergency calling for prompt and decisive measures if dis- tressing results are to be averted. We must have fashion of some sort. The potential designers of dress in America should get together without delay and agree upon some emer- gent plan of action to prevent a fam- ine in feminine fashion. The gloomy situation might be materially light- ened by at once putting in charge of the relief measures some recognized expert in feminine affalrs;~ McMILLAN'S We do not advance prices because there is a war in Europe.
