Rome, Aug. 6.—Cardinal Macchl, secretary of apostolic briefs, announc ed to the crowd assembled before 8 t Peter's that Cardinal 8arto had been elected pope and that he had taken the name of Plus X. The troops on duty immediately lined up on the piazza and presented arms. At ten min utes after 12 in the afternoon Pope Plux X. appeared inside the balcony of the basilica and blessed the popu lace. amid the acclamations of U>e enormous crowd assembled upon the azza. Great Enthusiasm Prevailed. Sarto’s election was announced amid great enthusiasm on the part of the great crowd outside S t Peter's. The scene within the basilica when the pope pronounced his benediction of unparalleled excitement and en thusiasm. Thousands of persona with in the cathedral cheered and waved their hats. All is now quiet Early In April Pope Leo. the Italian composer, said in speaking of Cardinal rto: \Hold him very dear, Peraol, the future he will be able to do much you. We firmly believe he will be our successor.” He hqs been known for many years i one of the greatest preachers In the church. Patriarch of Venice. Cardinal Gulseppe Sarto was born at Rlese, province of Venice, June 2, 1836. He was created cardinal and patriarch of Venice June 12, 1893. He is very learned in the ecclesiastical doctrines, is modest, energetic, a good administrator and organizer, a of the arts, and his seriousness always has been proverbial. Cardinal Sarto belonged to the ec clesiastical congregation of bishops and regulars, sacred rites. Indulgence and sacred relics. He enjoyed great popularity in his diocese. He is hon ored by all for his purity, for the strict uprightness of his life and for his lib eral Ideas. He Is a moderate and agreeable man, highly cultured, very klndhearted and still strong and robust. In spite of his 68 years. He has never taken great part in the political and public life of the church, but divided his time between good works and study. Although most faithful to the holy see, he was pre sented to the king and queen of Italy In Venice. He was considered among the more liberal members of the Ital ian episcopate and the sacred college. It is stated that Leo XIII. sided with him on one occasion when Sarto dls: approved Rampolla's policy. Donned the Papal Robes. Rome, Aug. 5.—While Prince Chigi, the master of the conclave, was draw ing up the official act of the election and acceptance of the newly elected pope, the latter, surrounded by his friends, disappeared Into a small room near the altar, where he donned, with who can say what feelings of triumph and humility, the white robes of his office. Plus X. was assisted by his conclavist, who first knelt and kissed bis master's hand and thus received the first apostolic blessing given by Plus X. The new pope was attired all In white, with the exception of red shoes, which was quite regular, but he did not atop to remove the red cardinal'? stockings for the white papal ones, and these showed as he raised his gown to move forward. When he was quite robed the secre tary of the conclave, Mgr. Merry Del Val, kneeling, offered him the papal white cap, amid breathless silence. He did not follow the precedent cre ated by Pope Leo, who declined to give his red cap to the master of cere monies as a sign that he would soon be created a cardinal, but with a slight smile Sarto took the white cap, placed it calmly on his head and dropped one lightly on the head of Mgr. Merry Del Val, amid murmurs of approval. This is taken as a cer tain indication that the happy recipi ent is soon to be raised to the car- dlnalate. He Ascended the Throne. As the new pontiff stepped from be hind Die altar, the only touch pf color about him being hip red and gold shoes,he really seemed to be the em bodiment of his holy office. HIs face was pale and clearly softened by emo- ,tlon. He paused a moment before the expectant cardinals, then seated him self on the throne with a hurried move ment, as though he had suddenly S own weak. His back was to the tar and he was enthroned to serve the so called “first obedience” of the cardinals. They came forward, one by one, some calm and some smiling, others sober and noncommittal, while All kissed his hand and foot, while he saluted each cheek with the kiss of peace. Then all broke Into the Te Detun with such effect that scarcely an eye was dry. Plus X. then rose and in a voice at first tremulous, which gradually became full and firm, administered «the papal blessing to all the members of the sacred college. It was received with bowed and uncovered heads. The fisherman's ring not yet having been found, a new one designed by Camerllngo OregUa. was placed pontiff's finger as a symbol of re newed power and evidence that the Catholic, church has once more a sovereign head. Sarto bore himself with becoming dignity and gave no ftutward sign of exultation in this, the supreme moment ’ his life. All the members of the sacred col lege declare that they are well satis fied with the election of Sarto, but the party opposed to Rampolla believe that It is their special victory. When the first ballot was taken it showed that the sacred college was divided Into two groups, the stronger one for Ram polla and the lesser one for, Seraflno Vann u tell I. The other votes were scat tered, But Included four for Sarto. On the subsequent ballots, while the two principal parties were losing ground. Sarto gradually gained, draw ing strength from both ends anti the middle, until the bffllot on Monday af ternoon, when bla vote had Increased ' “7, within six of the necesAry two- thirds. When the result of this ballot announced In the conclave Cardinal Sarto was so overcome with emotion and so touched by the unlooked for confidence reposed In him that he could no longer control his feelings, and to the surprise of all he broke down, declaring .that such responsibil ity and honor were not for him, and that he must refuse It, if elected. .Tears rolled down his cheeks and he seemed firm In his determination refuse the dignity. He was so palpa bly sincere that consternation reigned the conclave and the cardinals spent whole evening and much of the night In convincing him that his elec tion was the will of providence and that he must accept Several times he almost fainted and had to be revived by the use of salts. He seemed happy but broken down even after all the other candidates had retired, and on the final ballot he looked a statu* of resignation. Cardinal Casseta, as scrutineer, was reading out the vote. When 42 votes had been recorded for the patriarch of Venice the scrutineer arose and lift ed his red succhetto, saying: “We have elected a pontiff.” But from many sides cardinals cried out: \Continue.” As the vote approached'60, however, the cardinals, as of one accord, sur rounded the new pontiff and, accord ing to tradition, demanded to know if he would accept the pontificate. Cardinal Sarto's lips trembled that he could hardly articulate, but after a visible effort he said: “If this cup can not pass from Then he paused, but the cardinals around him insisted that It was neces sary for him to answer \yes” or “no.’ Thereupon he replied firmly, “Yes.'

The Brutish Murderer of Little Mabel Richards Near Aaotln, Wash., Was Taken From the Jail and 8trung Up to Telegraph Polo—Lynchers Well Organized. Agotln, Wash., Aug. 6, 12:46 a. jp.- WUllam Hamilton, slayer of little Mabel Richards, is swaying from the end of a rope thrown over a wuy .wii'e and his body no longer attracQ notice. The brutish murderer of an Innocent child was lynched shortly after mid night At 12 a. m. 20 masked men, their faces concealed with handkerchiefs, marched in orderly manner up the street toward the Jail. Hamilton, af ter 15 minutes’ delay, was dragged out of the cell and down Into the yard. Meanwhile another company masked men, about 80 in number, had marched up the street and taken po sitions about the entrance to the jail. All were masked and all were order ly. With these men none attempted to Interfere. Soon there came a procession from the Jail yard. On either side of the doomed wretch was a masked man, clutching the murderer's arm and haullnfe him along. Evidently they had their program all mapped out. When the lynchers and Hamilton reached the corner of First and Fillmore streets, they halted der a guy wire which crosses the street and Joins electric light poles. Here one of the leaders asked Hamll- in If he wanted to confess. He did so. Hamilton Is about 6 feet 6 Inches tall weighing 136 pounds, with light blue eyes, rather sharp features, reced ing forehead, and a weak face. He has a thick shock of stiff, bristly hair, red dish gfay In color. He had all the ap pearance of a> half witted moral de generate. At first he was unwilling to talk of the tragedy. He said: \Yes I killed the girl. I met h er In the woods half a mile from the Farrish mill; asked where she was going, and she said to 8unday school at Kelly’s schoolhouse. I got off my horse, put my arms about the girl and hugged and kissed her. Then I asked her to come with me away from the road Into the bushes. 8ho ssked me to let her alone, as she wanted to go to Sunday school. I folded both arms about her and carried her about 75 feet from the road into a clump of bushes. There I threw her down and pulled off her clothes, but failed of my purpose. She did not call out or fight, but did not know what I was trying to was badly frightened and could not tell her name or age. When I desisted from ffiy attempt she prom ised hever to tell what I had tried to do.” 'At flrst I thought I would let her go. After talking with her several minutes I became afraid she would tell and I started to choke her. She got black in the face and her tongue stuck out of her mouth. I let go of her throat, went about 10 feet and got a club, with which, I struck her on the right side of thfe head. She gave a little outcry, then lay still. I struck her on the left side of the temple, then rolled her over with my foot and struck her in the back of the head. After watching her for a few minutes I knew she was dead. Getting my horse I rode on Into the timber a mile further and began pick huckleberries. I picked a five gallon can of berries and then rode home to my father's place near Ana- tone. passing on my way within 75 feet of where the dead body of my vic tim was lying.” Hamilton spoke in an exceed ingly low tone, not being heard mote than 10 feet away. Final ly he asked that his Jewelry- some trifling trinket he had In his ftosseeslon—and his watch be given to his' father and mother and the promise was made him. Some one produced a black mask, like that used in a legal hanging, and it was put over the head of Hamilton. It reached down to his shyilders. The rope was then produced, placed about his neck and thrown over the guy wire, being seized by powerful men, the body 'as lifted off the ground and sus pended at a height of about four feet The doomed wretch began to gasp for breath and his efforts were plainly discernable a distance of two,blocks, so quiet was the crowd. After Hamil- s body had been held by the lynch- for a time long enough to make certain he was dead, the rope was tied to the telegraph pole and the body left suspended. The crowd, when they were satisfied the wretch had breathed his last, quietly melted away and sought their beds and the streets were soon deserted.
