PROTHoNoTARY APOSTOLIC.
Honor Lately Conferred Upon Mgr.
stephan by Papal Brief.

BY papal brief just received by the apos-
tolic delegate, Monsignor Joseph Stephan
has been raised to the dignity of prothono-
tary apostolic. This is the highest honor
which is ever conferred on Catholic clergy
men outside the city of Rome. 4 few
years ago Monsignor Stephan was made
private chamberlain of the pope. with the
title Of monsignor That honor, however.
raised him but one grade above priests in
general. and did not constitute him a prel-
ate. BY this new act of the pope Mgr Ste
phan is made a prelate, and that OF the
hlghest rank outside of the episcopaCy.
The dignity carries with Il many privileges.
even that of using many of the pontiiical
Vestments in the celebration of solemn func
lions. During the ceremonies of a solemn
mass he can wear the long stockings the
shppers, the gloves, the tunic, the dalmatic
ana the plain white inter. He can even,
during the celebration of the same func-
ton. wear the pectoral cross and the ring.
IN solemn professions and other similar
functions he appears clad the same as
bishop in like circumstances. In short he
Is fully prelate with all prelatiai privi-
leges.
This distinguished honor has been con-
ferred by the pope Mgr. Stephan in rec
ogni:ion of his jealous services in promot-
ing Catholic interests among the Indians
of the United States Mgr. Stephan has
for many years been the head of the Cath
olic Indian bureau in this city, and is him
self practical Indian missionary, having
labored among the Indian tribes for long
period. He was chaplain in the civil
war. The favor of the pope comes to him
at this special time in order to honor the
occasion of his golden jubilee in the priest
hood. On the 21st of this month Mgr. Ste
phan will have completed fifty years of the
sacred ministry.

expressly for this service, and heated
throughout by steam. which leaves 7th

]: 40 pm. returning due to arrive at Wash
