State Convention to Meet May 7th in Harrisburg. The Democratic State Executive Com- mittee met in Harrisburg yesterday, Thursday, and after a full and free inter- change of opinion, fixed Tuesday, May 7th as the date, and Harrisburg as the place for the meeting of the next Demo- cratic State Convention. Six of the nine members of the Committee were present, and after a full interchange of opinion, the date and place above named was unanimously decided upon. The WATCHMAN hopes that this action of the Committee will prove highly ac- ceptable to all Democrats and that the convention it provides for may prove one of the largest, most thoroughly united and harmonious bodies of representative men that has ever met to consider the party's welfare or express the party's beliefs. ~——CLARENCE DARROW, the criminal lawyer who conducted the defense in the MCNAMARA affair, atttained a high altitude in public opinion for courage and ability. But unless he can clear him- self of the charge of jury fixing, for which he is now under indictment, his fall will be the harder because the dis- tance from top to bottom is so great. ——Really it looks as if Colonel HAR- VEY, the accomplished editor of Harper's Weekly, enjoys nothing so much as a punch on the jaw. He appears to be delighted, moreover, with the form of Governor WILSON's punch. ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS.

H | CONFER PALLIUM UPON ARCHBISHOP | | In the presence of a notable congre- | zation of priests and laity, including | two of the four American members of ! the colege of cardinals, Cardinal Gib hons and Cardinal Farley, the sacred pallium was conferred upon Right Rev, Edmond F. Prendergast, D. D., arch: bishop of Philadelphia. The pallium, the insignia of the archbishop's authority in the church, had been brought from Pope Pius X, by the Right Rev. Monsignor O'Hern, vice rector of the American College at Rome. He turned it over to Cardeal Gibbons, who, assisted by Cardinal Farley, formally invested Archbishop Prendergast with the white woolen band. The rite of investure, thofigh simple in itself, was surrounded by elaborate ceremonies. There was a high ponti- fical mass celebrated by the bishop of Erie, and Cardinal Gibbons deliv- ered a solemn address to Archbishop Prendergast. Bishop Canevin, of Pitts. burg, preached the sermon, and there were plesent in the r.nctuary eighteen bishops, many 1monsignori, several , mitred abbots and six hundred priests | from dioceses all over the {Inited | States, from the Philippines and even i far away Africa. No. less distinguished were the members of the lity present at the ceremony. Acting as guards of honor to the cardinals were a score of the leading Catholic men of Philadelphia In the congregation, which filled the stately cathedral to the doors, were many men and women prominent in Philadelphia. The hodyguards zelected to attend Cardinals Gibbons and ifarley compris- ed the following prominent laymen: Walter George Smith, Martin Maloney, Samuel Castner, ©dward J. Durnel, James J. Ryan and P. F. Kernan, Knights of St. Gregory by appoint: ment of the pope. Several thousand persons were un. able to gain admission ws tbe cathe dral. They braved the ice and snow in Logan square and stood in the raw alr to see the arrival of the various dignitaries. They removed their hats and stood silent when Cardinal Gib- bons and Cardinal Farley cntered the cathedral. It had been planned to have a procession of the clergy preceding the ceremonies, but the condition of the streets prohibited this being car- ried out. Following the ceremonies at the cathedral there was a dinner at the Bellevue-Stratford exclusively for the cardinals, archbishops, bishops and priests. None of the laity was admit- ted. Among those who spoke infor- mally were Cardinals Gibbons and Farley, Archbishop Prendergast, Very Rev. Dr. Henry T. Drumgonle, rector i of St. Charics Borromeo's seminary, i Overbrook, 2nd Rev. James i. Trainor, vicar general of St. Philip's church. All in all, the event was cne of the most notable in the history of the archdiocese. The pallium had been conferred in Philadelphia but twice be- fore. The last time was twenty-seven years . ago, when Archbishop Ryan, Archbishop Prendergast's predecessor, received it, also from the hands of Cardinal Gibbons, then, as now, the archbishop of Baltimore.
