Dol of the union that binds the
Metropolitan of the Philadelphia See
to Pope Benedict XIV, fulfilled its
ultimate mission yesterday, when 1t
| was conferred upon Archbishop
Dougherty in the Cathedral amid a
ceremonial of magnificence and
pomp. More than 500 members of
the American hierarchy, including
four archbishops, twenty bishops
and three mitered abbots, attended
| the ceremony.
The liturgical vestment, exempli-
| flying a distinctive mark of Arch
| episcopal dignity, was conferred by
Archbishop John Bonzano, the
| Apostolic Delegate. He character
lied it as 1.-The symbol of the union
that binds the Archbishop to the

Until yesterdays imposing cere-
mony, Archbishop Dougherty has
been functioning by special dis
pensation from Rome. Bestowal OF
the sacred insignia now instals the
Metropolitan in the 'fullness of the
| episcopal Offices" He will wear the
Pallium on certain feasts, such as
, Christmas and Easter. He may not
wear it outside his province. II
[ transferred to another Archdiocese,
he must petition the Pope for an
other Pallium. After his resigna-
ton he may no longer use it. When
he dies it is buried with him.
AS on the occasion of his en-
thronement ten months ago, Arch
bishop Dougherty yesterday was
; made especially happy by the pres

his family who attended the cere-
| mony. There were his brother
Anthony Dougherty, Receiver OF
, Taxes, of Girardville. and two Sis
| ters, Mrs. Mccormack and Mrs
Monaghan. The latter is a member
of the Mother of Sorrows parish
| Forty-eighth street and Lancaster
avenue. From Anthony Dougherty
came a message to the Archbishop
from his mother, Mrs. Bridget
Dougherty, of Girardville, now in
her eighty-fourth year. She ex-
pressed regret that the infirmities OF
age prevented her from attending
the ceremony.
The comforting of the Sacred Pal
lium upon Archbishop Dougherty
marked the fourth time in the his
tory of the See, covering a period OF
10 years, that it has been placed

archbishop. Those previously re-
ceiving it were Archbishops Wood
Ryan and Prendergast.
