The other Cardinals “vore crimson robes with violet collarse indicative of mourning. Within the death-chamber the body lay with a white vell over the face, on the bed, by Franciscan peniten- tiaries, maintaine surrounded a solemn vwigil. The pro- found silence was broken onmly by the chanting of prayers for the dead. Into this solemn presence came the mourning elon of Cardinals, who, kneeling, prayed. Then the prelates rev- looked on while Cardinal Oreglia pros silently function the Pope's bedroom had transformed into a kind of mortuary chapel, with the altar at one end, having in the center a crucifix surrounded by six lighted candles. Four candles stood at the bed corners. FEATURES ARE LIFELIKE. The white vell was then removed from the dead mah's face, revealing the cameo- like features of the departed Pope, ren- dered sharper and more transparent by | death. So lifelike was the body that | those present half expected Leo to raise his hand in the familiar gesture of bless- ing. ‘A moment of breathless silenbe efsued and then the Cardinal Camerlingo, taking the aspersorfum, sprinkled the late Pon- tiff with holy water and said in a firm voice: *‘Gioacc! * (the Christian name of the deceased Holy Father). When there was no answer the same word was repeated three times, louder and louder, after which, turning to the kneeling Car- ainals, the Camerlingo solemnly an- nounced: “Papa vera mortuus really dead) As the words were uttered there arose st’ (the Pope is fle outside the Noble Guard | | year 1265, but for secret documents it was For this morn- 1 | from | sprinkied the body Cardi late Po the church. voices trembling with ng Cardinals recited gave absolution and with holy water. FAMOUS RING REMOVED. Following the ceremony of the recogni- of the death of the Pope by the Sac- College came another, shorter, but no less significant and symbolie. On Leo's finger was the famous fisherman’s ring, which the- Camerlingo, with a whispered prayer, drew gently off, and which later will be broken In the presence of the Car- dinals, reset and presented to the new Pope when he is. electod. The ring Is of very great antiquity. It is even said to have belonged to St. Peter himself. It is a stone of little value, cut with the scene of St. Peter drawing in fishing nets. It was first used about the the kneeling paid to the heads of in ra dis, a sigh—a tribute ff by these princely After this, emotion, the the De Profu only used later. Officlally it is one of the symbols of office most prized by the church. Although lost two or three times, it has always been recovered. Cardinal Rampolla intended to leave the Vatican last night, immediately after the death of the Pope, when, having officially announced the demise of the Pontiff to the diplomatic body accredited to the Vatican and to the papal nuncios, with instructions to have the news communi- cated to the various forelgn rulers, he considered his dutles as papal secretary of state to have been ended. Rampolla was on the point of leaving when Car- d:nal Oreglia insistently begged him to re- main in the apartment he had occupied for more than sixteen years and the sec- retary of state acceded to the request. The Vicar of Rome, Cardinal Pletro Respighi, has caused to be attached to the doors of the churches an announcement of the death of Pope Leo, with instructions regarding the prayers to be offered and also glving information about the fun- eral services. CARDINALS ARE CONVENED. The government of the Catholic church has been officially assumed by Cardinal Oreglia as dean of the Sacred College and as dean of the Cardinal Bishops. He will be assisted by the deans of the other two orders of Cardinals, Cardinal Macchi of the Cardinal Deacons and Cardinal Rampolla for the Cardinal Priests, the Cardinal Nettio, the patriarch of Lisbon, who, when he arrives, will take over his own duties. irdinals present in Rome met this under Cardinal Oreglia, in a atory congregation held in the Hall of the Consistory. Oreglia communicated to them the first instructions he hes given since the death of the Pope, In- forming them of the numerous messages of condolence recelved from all parts of the world and of the universal mourning for Leo XIII. An exchange of ideas took rlace regarding the ceremonies preceding the conclave. When Cardinal Oreglia ask- ed for the advice of one of the Cardinals present the latter replied: “It is difficult to give advice. Indeed, you must teach us what to do, as pone of us has ever participated in a con- clave.” KAISER EXPRESSES GRIEF. The following telegram has been re- ceélved by Cardinal Oreglia from the Ger- man Emnveror: MOLDE, Norway, July 20, 1908.—I am painfully affected by the ead news I have just received. I send to the fllustrious College of Cardinals the expression of my sincere sym- pathy at the grievous loss the Roman lic Church has sustained through the of the Pove. I ehall always retain a_falthful memory of the exalted and venerable man who was @ personal friend of mine and whose extraordinary gifts of heart and mind com- pelled my admiration anew only a few weeks ago n the occasion of my last visit to Rome.

ROME, July 21.—There was a touching scene at the Vatican this morning when the nephews of the Pope, with their fami- lles, entered the dea.. chamber to take a last farewell af their uncle, for whom they had an intense reverence. The eld -s were dressed In black and the children In white. As they entered the younger chil- dren, awe-struck and frightened, began to cry at this, their first tance with death, but the beauty of the sc soon quieted them. The little party vanced on tiptoe, and circling arov bed fell to their knees and joina: prayers of the penitentiaries. Th ness of the children gowns a pleasing not: to the rather hignly colored scene. Presently the visitors arose and filed past the bed, kneeling 10 k dead hand as they passed. Count Cam one of the nephews who knew Leo best, companying him always when he wer de b acqua into the gardens of the Vatican, was quite overcome—more so, in fact, than at any time since his uncle’s death oc- curred. s LEO'S EFFECTS SEARCHED.
