Rev. Jean Berger, the Suspended
Priest, Performs the Marriage
Ceremony
STRICT CATHOLICS
QUESTION LEGALITY
Henry CharIand and Miss Emma
St. George Satisfied That
All Is Well

North Brookfield, Dec. 26.-Follcwing
close upon, and as. fitting sequel to
the funeral service performed Sunday,
Rev. Jean Berger went a step farther
today and performed marriage cere-
mony.
The contracting parties were Henry
Charland, formerly Of this town, but
now of East Brookfield, and Miss Emma
st. George, daughter of Frank st.
George and wife who reside at the cor
ner of Forest and st. John streets.
The ceremony was performed at 2
o'clock this afternoon at the residence
of the outlawed priest on Grant street.
The bride was attended by her friend,
Miss Corinne Mangeon, and Frank st.
George, a brother of the bride, acted as
best man. 1t is the first marriage cere-
mony performed by the Rev. Jean Ber-
ger since his appearance here.
Like the funeral incident, the mar
rage has been awaited with eager in
terest by the people and clergy Of
Springfield diocese. In some respects the
marriage of these young people by the
suspended priest will probably occasion
even more surprise than did the fact
that he conducted funeral services over
a body that was entombed in a Protest
ant cemetery
Many times since the Rev. Jean Ber-
ger arrived here and even in view of the
spectacular happenings since the opin-
ion has been advanced that he would
not dare to so far injure the already
offended dignity of the church of Rome
by comforting the sacrament of matri-
mony. However, the man who is con-
sdere1 a usurper of priestly rights
dared and did, as shown by today's pro-
ceedings.
In fact, since he assumed charge Of
the diSSenters here he has shown re-
peatedly that he does not acknowledge
the authority of the bishop Of Spring
field, as proclaimed in the edicts from
the episcopal residence.
The great interest conferred in today's
performance arises from a question
preached several months ago as to
whether a couple married by Rev Mr.
Berger would be legally man and wife.
That there was room for argument was
evinced by the heated discussions that
has taken place on this topic and the
numbers of people who have argued it
pro and con.
OF course the dissenters see but one
side to the matter and that is that they
are in the right and that their priest is
willing to sacrifice almost anything in
their cause.
That he is still priest in good stand
ing in the Roman Catholic church, they
insist, despite the fact that he has re-

GIVEN FIRST PLACE
AstroIoger's Horoscope of C. R.
Saunders For Speaker

Here is what an astrologer tells the
Boston Post about Candidate Saunders:
A man of tremendous force and en-
ergy, never knows when he is whipped;
sensitive, sympathetic, extreme in his
likes and dislikes, but far better man
for friend than an enemy an espe-
cially restless, active nature; likes to
see everything in motion; his tremen-
dous energy and force, will power and
tiXedness of purpose would have made
him an excellent soldier; in this field
he would have risen to high positions Of
authority he is rapid money maker,
and understands how to spend it also.
Generally speaking he is lucky in all
financial and business matters; he
should be in a manufacturing business
or in something where energy, force
and metals are concerned. He is espec-
tally well-ftted for the speakership
and his chances are better than any of
the other candidates.
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-12-27

ceived notice Of his suspension from
Bishop Thomas D. Beaver.
AS suspended priest, has no more
right to solemnize any Of thesacraments
of the Catholic church than If he had
never been ordained( except, of course,
in cases of absolute necessity the as
sumption that a marriage performed
by Rev. Jean Berger, is not legal, is
argued by Catholics in good standing.
They say that Bishop Beaver as the
representative of Pope Leo XIII, the
visible head Of the church. has pro-
nounced that Rev. Jean Berger is a
usurper of priestly authority, and sus-
pended him
AS his authority as priest has been
revoked by the same church that con-
ferred it, they ask how he has the
right to perform the marriage cere-
mony, the most exalted in the church.
1t is said, too, that considering the
fact that Rev. Mr.. Berger does not
recognize the authority of the bishop,
he cannot be Catholic. With the firm
opinion that he certainly has not been
received into any other church, they
do not hesitate to say that as a clergy
man, he has no power to perform the
marriage ceremony.
Apart from the religious aspects of
the case, it must be borne in mind that
the civil law is paramount in deciding
legal questions.
When The Spy reporter called at the
st. George House today, the bridal
party had just returned
With a pardonable touch of pride,
Mr. Charland introduced the reporter
to his wife. Mrs. Charland was per-
fectly satisfied with the ceremony, and
cordially returned thanks in answer to
Well-WlsheS from The Spy man.

ORIENTAL TEXTILE ART
One Of the Finest Displays in the
City at Folsom & Co.'s

What Is probably the finest collection
Of Oriental textile art ever shown in
Worcester is on exhibition at the auc-
ton rooms Of j. G. Folsom & Co., $50
Main street, this week. The collection,
which was formed by B. H. Markarian
& Co, Of New York, includes a number
of Persian silk rugs, valued from $500
to $1,000 and some royal Kirman-Shah
carpets running as high as $500. All
Of the articles shown will be offered for
sale at public auction today and the
| three days following.
The Spy man called in yesterday to
look over the rugs, and never before had
he seen such work in this line. Near the
door is Royal Kirman-Shah carpet,
IA feet, s inches, by 10 feet 6 inches, in
the tree of life" design. with a border,
is inches or more in width. The subdued
colors and delicate arrangement of
shades makes it as beautiful as a pic
ture, and it is valued at $2500. Another
piece of the same make, only smaller, is
worth $4,000. Cashmere and Turkish
rugs in the pleasing Oriental colors are
hung all over the walls, while arranged
about on stands and chairs are some
of the most beautiful silk rugs, in
changeable shades and of the Korosan
make. These are the richest things of
their kind that could be imagined, and
just to look at them makes one feel as
though he had stepped into some far
eastern country, and listens every mo-
ment to hear the sound of Oriental
music
On the walls on one side is a piece of
very old embroidery, beautifully done,
and which is thought to be more than
400 years old. A number of Kizkillim
rugs to be used as portieres are shown
hung against the walls, and make ex-
quisite hangings in their deep rich coll
orings. There are also many Damascus
curtains in fine effects, and, in fact,
every description of the beautiful tex
tile work of the Turks and people of
Palestine Nearly every province in
Turkey, Persia and India is represented
by some piece of work, and not the least
interesting is a number of pieces of very
old Satsuma ware from Japan, and
some carved ivory figures.
One of the best features of this ex-
hibit is that nearly all of the pieces are
in excellent condition. yet have all of
that peculiar beauty which comes only
with age. There is stock of about 1900
pieces to select from, of all sizes and
makes, which have been carefully Sc
lected for the exhibit. A Turk in cos
tune is in attendance, and shows how
the rugs are woven. He says that in
some cases the artists who design the
rug, spin the WOOL gather the herbs
with which to make the dyes and finally
do the weaving, some of the most elab-
crate articles taking from five to ten
years to complete.
A private exhibition will be held to-
day, number of invitations having
been sent out, and among the other in |
teresting things there is some genuine |
Turkish candy from Constantinople, |
which the visitors will have an opportu-
nifty Of tasting.

REVEALS PLANS FOR MURDER
A Clew Furnished to Assassinations
in New Mexico.

I'm New Mexico.
Hillsboro, n. NJ, June 5.-Captain
George Curry, former sheriff Of Lincoln
county, has arrived here, and discloses in
formation that has been heretofore well
guarded concerning a conspiracy to COM
init four murders one of them being that
of Colonel Fountain. He does not impli-
cate Lee and Gilliland, who are now being
tried for the murder of Colonel Fountain
and his son, but says:
IF the court will admit my evidence
l can tell who planned the killing and
who vainly lay in wait for Colonel Foun-
tain once before he was killed. Slick
Miller, one of my prisoners. who was par
doned out Of the penitentiary by Govern
or Thornton, made a confession to me,
which have kept secret, having no occa-
sion to divulge 1t until now. There were
three men in the plot, and all had been
indicted for stealing cattle. l had been
instrumental in some of the cases. and
they agreed to put me out Of the way, too.
James E. Cree, of the v. v. Cattle Com
pan, a large Scotch syndicate, was to be
killed. / told him quietly what l knew.
and he, fearing he would yet be murdered,
returned to Scotland and is waiting until
this affair is settled. W. C. Mcdonald. of
the Carrizzo Cattle Company, another who
was active in the persecution Of the cat
tie thieves, was to be murdered, and Col
onel Fountain who was the attorney for
the Southeastern New Mexico Cattle Com
pany Miller was convicted Of cattle steal
ing, and the other two. conspirators car
ried out only a part Of their agreement"
Curry said that Miller told him that the
bodies of Colonel Fountain and his son
are buried in the White Sands, near the
Sacramento Mountains. A thorough search
Of these sands may disclose the bodies. but
it is feared that the drifting nature of the
soil will have buried them too deep.
Curry held a conference with the attor-
neys for the defence. and the indications
are that they will use him as witness.

ST. LOUIS AGAIN TODAY.

at National Park.
The Tebeau tribe OF Indians will again
wrestle with Irwin's Senatorial delegation
at Natiopal Park this afternoon. The ST.
Louisans' Eastern visit has not been ac-
companied with the success anticipated
and several reefs have been taken in their
percentage column since they left their
Western homestead. All is not well with
the teams work and the press Of ST. Louis
has been the first to find fault. The in
nate strength OF the club has sunk be-
meath the surface and graphing irons will
be necessary to bring it to the top once
more.
All through the season there has been
complaint that the team was not hitting
TO advantage. but their fielding was con-
sidered the acme Of perfection and the
pitchers were also thought to be doing
well. Now. however, Childs' absence from
the game has weakened the infield and
the pitchers also seem to have gone as
tray. Something must be done at once or
the club will sink still lower in the League
standing. Manager Tebeau is well aware
Of his clubs shortcomings and can be de-
pended upon TO do the best possible to land
the pennant.
