dubuque. Ia, April 1s.-In the pres
snce of prices and high priests of his
church, and before an audience that
occupied every foot of space in St
Raphaels cathedral and overflowed
into the surrounding streets. Arch
bishop John }. Keane was invested
with the pallium, the insignia of the
high position he occupies in the Ro-
man Catholic church.
A brilliant Scene
The scene was one of great bril-
liancy, and the ceremonies character
istic of that splendor and magnifi-
cence for which the Catholic church
is noted. While the absence of Mgr.
Martinelli was marked. it detracted
none from the grandeur of the scene,
which was far beyond that occasion
of September II, 1898, when Mgr. Sa-
TOLL. now member of the sacred
congregation, Rome, conferred the
pallium upon the late Archbishop
HenEessey in this same cathedral
A Prince of the Church.
Cardinal Gibbons was here, as he
was then; archbishops and bishops
from all parts of the United States
were here again, and the number of
priests present was fully double that
OH the other occasion. The attendance
of laymen from abroad was very
large, and but few states in the I'm
ion were unrepresented. 1T was a
remarkable tribute TO Archbishop
keane
The Ceremonial.
The ceremonies opened at ten
O'Clock with a procession of clergy
and attendants, in which the cardinal.
archbishops, bishops and priests took
part, clad in full vestments of their
rank.
The scene was beautiful. The high
altar, almost hidden by palms, ferns
and flowers, was dazzling with electric
lights, while the cardinals red robes,
the archbishops' purple, the bishops
purple and white, and the priests
black and white, and the INTERVIEWING
papal and American colors, with
which the auditorium was decorated,
made an almost perfect color scheme.
The Pontificsl Mass.
Archbishop Kahn of st. Louis, in
| full canonicals, assembled the altar at
1890 and commenced the celebration
of pontifical high mass.
The music was Gounod's "MeSse
Solemnelle," sung by choir of &C
persons. At the close of the mass
