pallium, the insignia of the high po-
sition he occupies in the Roman
Catholic church.

CATION, Rome. conferred the pallium
upon the late Archbishop Hennessey

cession of clergy and attendants, in
which the cardinal, archbishops,
bishops and priests took part, clad in
full vestments of their rank. Passing
from the archepiscopal residence, the
procession entered the cathedral and
moved up the main aisle to the altar.

ing temporary throne on the right
which he had erected for himself.
