Eighth Ward and the fifth and eighth
districts of the Eleventh Ward, where
they were entitled to two delegates fol
each district.

RELIGIOUS FARCE
so PRIEST CALLS WEDDING
HE PERFORMED.
Father Carroll Tells Congregation He
Was Deceived Into Second Cere-
mony for Couple

In sermon In st. Bridget's Ca sli.
! Church yeterday morning the pastor. tn3
| Rev. Eugene p. Carroll, denounced In un-
measured terms a marriage deception In
which he said he had been an unwilling
victim last Thursday night. when he was
led into performing a marriage ceremony
for Mr. and Mrs Charles Garrigan at she
home of the brides parents, 1T9 New York
avenue.
What was a deception, according to the
priest consisted in having him go through
the ceremony of marrying the couple after
the Rev. DR.. David r. Frazer. pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church, had united
the couple in marriage on Tuesday night
previously
There was no such thing as a double
marriage. ri ther Carroll stated, as the
first ceremc ~ by DR.. Frazer, he said,
was a real MARRIAGE and the second one
he denounced ns religious farce.
Explaining a question of mixed marri-
ages, Father Carroll explained that as q
condition for a priest to perform the ceres
mony. a dispensation must be granted,
conditions Of which are that the nom
Catholic must promise not to interfere with
the religion of the Catholic party TO the
marriage. must agree to bring up chill
dren as Catholics. and finally. that only
one ceremony be performed and that by
Catholic priest.
''The bridegroom in this Instance, ne
said. who Is a Catholic. knew Of these
conditions and after he was married by
the non-c,atholio clergyman. deceived him.
Father Corroll said he could not under
stand how people who mako any pre-
tense TO the possession of refinement,
religious ethics or morality could PARTIES
pate In such deception
Mr. and Mrs. Garrigan were married on
Tuesday night Of last week by Or. Frazer.
This fact was not known TO anyone save
its participants and members of the brides
family.
After Father Carroll had gone through
the ceremony OF marrying the couple it
was explained that the bridegroous
mother had desired to see her son married
by Catholic priest. while at the same
time the bride wanted to be married by
DR. Frazer, whose church she attended

ASKS A
DIVISION OF
SCHOOL TAX
Father COyne, Of ST. JOseph's,
Calls on Men to Aid in
Effort by Their Votes.

Al the II o'clock mass in 81. Joseph.s
Church yesterday morning the Rev.
Henry @. Coyne. assistant rector OF st.
Joseph's Catholic Church. spoke on the
subject of a pro rata distribution OF
school money for all pupils educated
free In the State whether public or
parochial.
Father coyne called attention 20 the
successful school year just brought
TO a close. and declared that the rurrie-
ulum of the parochial school was in
every way equal 10 that of the public
schools: In fact. he said the parochial
schools were better for Catholic chill
dren since religion and a fear OF God
were instiiied into the minds OF the
young as well as the reading. spelling.
arithmetic. writing and geography.
which is taught in the public schools.
Father Coyne said the time has come
when Catholics should assert their
rigths as citizens and demand share
of the taxes to be used In support of
Catholic schools.
"It cost this parish $4,000 to run our
school last year. said Father Coyne.
''but II the city was running It. It
would have cost that much more. It
Is only fair, since we are giving tho
city's children setHlar education
equal to that obtained In the public
schools. that we ask for a pro rata
share OF the taxes"
what do you suppose would hap
pen" he asked. ''if we were to close
our schools and turn our children into
the public schools. It would cost the
city millions of dollars to erect buildings
TO accommodate the thousands of
children that would be turned over,
and as conditions low exist there are
not sufficient accommodations for the
children attending the public schools" /"
Speaking of the arguments which
might arise to prevent such a ,nove-
ma L. Father coyne said there are
mai.S who would contend that par
.ochial schools are superfiuous and that
the schools provided by the city should
be sufficient Father coyne said ht
wished to cast no reelection on the
public schools. but 1t was the right OF
Catholic citizens to have schools where
their children would be taught religion
Speaking directly to the men in th'
congregation, Father Coyne said: "Yot
Catholic citizens. you men who vii
20 to the polls next fall to elect you
Representatives. find out II the mar
who soiicits your vote Is in sympathy
with your demands for a pro rata
share of the taxes If he is that Is
the man you should support, but IL he
is not. scratch his name. because ne
would not hesitate to scratch yours II
you were in his place and you were
agitating something for the good of the
church.
Prove your loyalty to your church
and your schools by demanding the
things which are just. This is your
right as taxpayers and citizens"
The same sentiment was expressed
in the instruction at all the other
masses in the same church.
