This, too, without tak ing Into account tho Innumerable sentences ho has served In city nnd county Jails and reformatory Institutions. King began his career of crimo when young nnd was u member of tho notorious "Lake Shoro gang," operating out of Chi cago, until It was broken up through the killing of many of Its members by ofll eers of tho law. Later he belonged to tho "Northwestern gang," which was n bad lot.

Archbishop Kcano Is the second person to fill tho metropolitan sco of Dubuque, tho first being Archbishop Hennessey, n man who, as priest and prelate, hail been Iden tified with tho Catholic church of tho west ern part of tho t'nlted Htntes for half a century before being clovatcd to the high placo In tho hierarchy of Home. His suc cessor Is n mnn of varied experience nnd liberal Mens. John Joseph Kcano wns horn nt Hally- shnnnon, Ireland, September 12, 1839. He enmo to the United States In 1846 nnd wns educated nt St. Chnrlcs collego and SI. Mary's seminary, Ilaltlmoro, Md., tho same seminary which nine years before hud grad uated Cardinal Ulbbnns. He was ordained priest In i860 and becamo nsslstant pastor of St. Patrick's church, Washington, D. C, which placo ho held until 1678, when, Au gust 2.i, ho wns consecrated bishop of Rich mond, Va. Later ho wns mado rector of tho Catholic university nt Washington, which position ho held until 1897, when ho was railed to Rome. Hero new honors nwnltcd him. Ho was mado titular arch bishop of Damascus, canon of Lnternn and consultor of tho propaganda. This wns the position held by him In tho American col lege at Homo when ho enmu to America, pnd Ills appointment to tho sco of Dubuque followed. On nccount of the previous appointment of tho prclnto as titular archbishop of Damascus and his confirmation nt Rome In 1S97 tho city of Dubuque did not sco tho lmprcsslvo services of the confirma tion of nn archbishop, and tho ceremonies which will accompany tho bestowal of tho pallium will bo the first public services Ith th to the This ceremony Is one of Infrequent oc currenco In tho United States. Thero nro but fourteen provinces In the country, nnd tho pallium being given only to archbish ops, but fourteen persons In the country now possess this mark of tho ospeclnl in terest of tho church. Tho Institution of thr bestowal of the pallium Is lost In the traditions of tho church, but It Is found ns one of tho regular ceremonies ns early ns tho fifth century. The pallium lUelf Is n band of white wool worn on the shoulders. It has two strings of tho snmu material nnd four purple crosses worked on It. It Is worn by tho pope and by him presented to patriarchs, primates and archbishops ns a token that they possess the fulness of Iho cplscop. 1 cfllco. Hlshops wl o hnvo bcon ele vated to tho archleplscopato arc not gen erally permitted to perform tho functions of their higher oMlce until they have re ceived tho pallium, and for this reason they are required to demand It of the pope within a few months nfter their appoint ment, and to demand Its transmission with tho most urgent haste, "Instnnter, Instan tlus, Instnntlslme." reads tho canon. Tho greatest care Is taken In regard to tho wool from which these pallia aro mado. Two lambs arc brought annually to tho church of St. Agnes nt Romo by the apos- touo sub-ucacons whllo tho Agnus Del Is being sung. Theso Iambs are prefented nt tho nltar nnd received by two ennons of the Latcran church. From the wool of these lambs tho pallia arc mado by tho nuns of Torro dl Specchl. The sub-deacons Iny tlio pallia on tho tomb of St. Peter, whero" tney remain nil night, and aro then readv for transmission to thoso destined to re- coivo them. Archbishop Kcano was canon. i uuieran in iwi anu subsequently, nnd it Is possible that ho received nt the altar tlio lambs whose wool forms tho nalllum which ho is to receive today. iho pallium is conferred unon the nreli. bishop by nn officer of equal rank delegated eepcclnlly by tho pope, after tho recipient has taken nn oath of obedlcnco to the latter. it is worn on certain great festivals. At the ceremony today thero will be present hundreds of priests, dozens of bishops and many archbishops.

When seen on board tho veftBcl Mr. Loomls refused to say anything regarding Venezuelan matters, except that President Castro uecmed to be firmly seated when he left Vcnszucln. When asked If ho In tended to return to Venezuela he said lit dhl not know, as he had not given the mnttcr n thought. Mr. Loomls, however, In reply to ques tions, said it was untrue that ho had ex pressed himself regarding General Castro's attitude toward Americans, nor had ho said anything nbout tlencrul Andrndc. Mr. Loomls will remain in Now York for a few days and will then go to Washington. i South Omaha News Tax Commissioner Fitzgerald figures that ho cannot begin work until May 1, as he must wait until ho receives copies of tho county records and also wait until tho bonds of his deputies aro npproved. With tho work commencing on Mny 1 the com missioner will have forty-fivo days In which to complete tho records. Tho board of review sits on July 1 nnd tho city nsscssmcnt books must bo turned over to the city treasurer completed on this date. Tho board of review, by the pro visions of the new charter, sits for five days at Jj per dlcm each, the members being appointed by the mayor and council. Kach deputy will receive ?3 a day for the work nnd eight deputies havo already been appointed. Considering that the deputes work tho nlottel tlmo of forly-flve days b.3 cost for deputies nlono will be Jl.OSO, while tho expense of the board of rovlew will amount to nbout $100. Already $100 hns been spent for a copy of tho county roa ords und with the tax commissioner's sal nry nt $1,500 n year It can readily be seen that a tax commissioner Is going to bo nn expensive luxury. In addition to tho sums mentioned the office rent of tho commis sioner and tho books to bo used must be added, so that with all duo caro the ex penses this first year will coma very close to $3,000. It is expected, however, that the city valuation will be Increased from $1,900,000 to nt least $2,ri00,000. Tho recent chango in tho Hammond plant mny make Borne slight difference In the assessment, but not enough to speak of.

CATHOLICS PLAN HIGH SCHOOL I'roi'crillnuN nt Iteeent CIiIciiko Coh ferenee Arouxe ev Intercut, Omnha Is to have n Catholic high school on the plan outlined by thu recent confer enco of presidents of Catholic colleges In Chicago, and It 1b probable that the school will bo ready for work with tho opening of tho school year In 1902. Since thu Idea has been given publicity through tho confcrcnco It develops thnt n high school has been malutnlned In a quiet way In one of tho South Omaha parishes for some time under the direction of Fathor Morlnrty. This school hus been confined to tho children of the parish, as the room has been limited, but It hns been doing good work Tho new school will bo Intended for tho children of the combined parishes of Omaha. It will probably be established by tho Sisters of St Domlnlck of Slnslnlwn Mound, who havo secured spnee for their school In the parish of the Sacred Heart, under the direction of Father Judge. The new build ings will be constructed next year on n lot south of tho church, nnd If present plans arc carried out theso buildings will provide for tho high school. Tho location Is one which could hardly bo equalled In any other place tn the matter of easy reach from the street cars. Tho Park lino runs within a block ot the buildings, tho Dodge street line within four blocks nnd tho South Omaha line within nbout five blocks of the school. From theso lines nnd their connections It Is posslblo to reach every part ot tho city, and tho projectors of tho plan believe that the new school will be filled easily with pupils who desire to take tho high school's course. This course will conform In many respects to the same course In tho public schools but will be especially devised to articulnto with the collegiate course of Crelghton college and will be a feeder of that Institution. The high if chool department will be ope rated In a'dflitfon to the regular parochial school which will bo conducted by the Sis ters of St. Domlnlck In the parish of the Sacred Heart. MliielilN Content Case, Richard Shields stated yesterday that he had commenced contest proceedings In tho recent tax commissioner election. Hn holds that at tho time ot the nominations there was no provision for a tax commis sioner and consequently, as ho filed n peti tion, ho Is the only candidate entitled to tho placo. although ho received only 25.1 votes. Ilonnett filed n petition nnd received over 800 votes nnd yet -was defeated by Fitzger ald, who polled over 1,000 votes. Shields admits thnt Bennett filed n petition, but he contends that It was filed too late. The fact that tho city clerk accepted Dcnnett'B petition cud marked It filed at a certain tlmo Is evidence that It will hold good in court. Tho council has, however, recog nized Fitzgerald as tax commissioner nnd Shields may havo a hard tlmo getting him out of thn job.
