st. Raphael's cathedral and overlooked
into the surrounding streets. Archbisn-
OPP John j. Keane was to-day invested
with the pallium, the insignia of the
high position he occupies in the Ro-
man Catholic church.
The scene was one OF great bril,lan-
cy and the ceremonies characteristic of
that splendor and magniflcance for
wf1ich the Catholic church is noted.
While the absence of Mgr. Martinelli
vas marked, 1t d~etracted non from the
grandeur of the scene, which was far
beyond that occasion of September II,
1893, when Mgr. Satolli, now a mem
Der of the Sacred Congregation, Rome,
conferred the pallium upon the late
Archbishop Hennessey in this same ca
tnedral. Cardinal Gibbons was here
to-day as he was then; Archbishops and
bishops from all parts of the United
States were here again, and the num-
Der of priests present was fully double
that on the other occasion. The at
tendance of laymen from abroad was
very large and few States in the Union
were unrepresented. 1t was a remark
able tribute to Archbishop Keane.
The ceremonies opened at 10 o'clock
with a procession of clergy and atten-
dants, in which the cardinal, archbisa-
ops. bishops and priests took part clad
in full vestments Of their rank. Pass
ing from the archepiscopal residence
the procession entered the cathedral
and moved up the main aisle to the al
tar. Within the sanctuary Cardinal
Gibbons assembled the throne on the let,
which had been yielded to him by Arcn-
bishop Keane. the latter occupying a
temporary throne on the right, which
he had erected for himself. About these
two principals were Archbishop Kahn,
St. Louis; Kratzer, Milwaukee; Elder

their company were Bishops Spauld-
ing and his coadjutor. OReilly, Peoria,

Mgr. Ryan, vicar general Of the do
cese Of Dubuque, and nearly four hun
dred priests.
The scene was beautiful. The high
altar, almost hidden by patnls, terns
and flowers, was dazzling with electric
lights, while the cardinals red robes,
the archbishops' purple, the bishops
purple and white, the priests black and
white and the INTERVENING papal AMI
American colors with which the audi
torium was decorated, made an almost
perfect color scheme.
Archbishop Kahn, OF st. Louis, in
full cannonicals, assembled the altar at
1870 and commenced the celebration OF
pontiical high mass. His assistant
priest was Very Rev. Gum, Cellar Rap
ids; Deacon, Very Rev. Mclaughlin,
Clinton; Sub-Deacon, Very Rev. O'Con-
nor, Carroll, and SOM thirty Others.
Revs. Toomey, Donlon, Barry, Fitzpat-
rick and Carey were masters Of cere-
monies.
The music was Gounods' "Nesse Sol
emnelle." sung by a choir OF sixty ter
IONS. At the close of the mass Cardi-
nal Gibbons, with imposing ceremony,
conferred the pallium upon Archbishop
Keane. The cardinals assistants were
Ri. Rev. Mgr. Lyan, v. G., Dubuque,
and Rev. Clement Johannes Dubuque.
Following the investiture Archbishop

mon OF the day. A congratu,atory adj
dress from the clergy OF the diocese was
made by the Rev. DIR. Carroll presi-
len of St Joseph's college Dubuque:
