1t sometimes happens that Catho

to require them to secure a new civil
license before the priest performs an
ceremony in the case, though at times

JAMES 7. PHELPS DIES
One Of Last Of "shepard's Men" Start
ed Work Here So Years Aeo-Until
Recently Was Superintendent of the
Great Northern Station.

Another one of d. G. Shepard's men
answered the last call last Saturday.
To those outside the railroad busi-
ness, men and women who are not IA
miliar with the early railroad history
of Minnesota, now almost legend, the
term, "one of Shepard's men," means
little. To those who know of railroad
ing, its terms and it's traditions, the
phrase means everything connected
with veteran in the business.
James Turner Phelps, 72 years old,
one of the last of Shepard's S men, died
last Saturday at his home, 1927 West
Twenty-sixth street. Fifty-three years
ago Phelps, then mere boy fresh
from Vermont country town, became
one of Shepard's men, working on the
Minnesota Central and McGregor
Western division Of the Milwaukee
road under Shepard, the first Mime
apolis division superintendent.
Through various stages of promo
tion he became conductor and was
later transferred to the River division
of the road in 1873 Mr.. Phelps mar
ried Miss Anna Mahagen, sister of the
wife Of James ]. Hill. 1t was through
the influence of Mr.. Hill that Mr..
Phelps decided to quit the Milwaukee
road about 10 years ago and become
superintendent of the old Union sta
tion, retaining his position when the
new Great Northern station was built
A year ago Mr.. Phelps began to fail
in health, although he continued to
work as station superintendent. With
in the last week he began to fail rap
idly and died shortly before noon Sat
urday. His widow, two daughters,
Miss Mary F. Phelps, Mrs. Gertrude
Phelps Horrigan, and son, Frederick
Phelps, survive. Funeral services
were held at the Pro-Cathedral and
interment held in St. Mary's ceme-
terry.
Mr.. Phelps was a member Of the
Veteran Railroad Men's Association
and of the Hennepin County Old Set
tiers Association, and member Of
the Cathedral parish. On Novem-
ber q, 1916, many of the old railroad
men and other pioneer settlers gave
an informal reception in honor Of Mr..

NEW IR,sH-AusTRAL,AN SINGER


Musical New York is looking for
ward with great interest to the Amer
ica debut of the Irish-Australian so
prano, Amy Castles. who will make
her first appearance in Carnegie Hall
on Wednesday evening, April H. The
story of the discovery of Miss Castles
inimitable gifts reads more like ro-
nance than a reality. Sheltered in
the Convent of the Sisters of Mercy
in the far away mining town of Bendi-
go, Victoria, it was by a lucky chance
that took Father George Robinson, a
man noted for his knowledge and ap-
probation of music, to that quiet con-
vent in the out Of the way Bendigo,
and he heard Miss Castles, who was
then fifteen, sing. Her voice was full
ly developed and even then almost
perfect, when she came straight from
her convent in Bendigo to face her
first great audience of 10000 people,
without other lessons than those
which the good nuns had been able to
impart. Her triumph in Australia was
repeated a few years later in Europe,
where for a short period she studied
under Bouhy and the elder Marchesi.
She was then appearing in Grand Op-
era and on the Concert platform. Miss

March was sufficient and was all

enter on his second term as President.
The Maryland Courts have handed
down decision now by which legal
ceremony of marriage may be per
formed for the re-marriage OF divorced
persons in the Catholic Church with
out another marriage license or pub
lication OF banns. The decision had
been rendered by Judge Bond in Cir
cult Court No. 2, of Baltimore City
Now the Court of Appeals has upheld
his decision.
The decision, which was prepared
by Judge Hammond Urner, was made
in the case of Timothy l.. Feehley. OF
Canton, a member OF the Baltimore
County Police Department. and Mary
K. Feehley. The couple were first mar
ried in 1891 and divorced in 1896. Each
married another spouse and each was
divorced again. They were reunited
throuhg the influence OF their daugh-
ter and second time went through
ceremony before priest of the
Catholic Church.
In 1915 there was another disagree
ment. The wife accused her husband
OF vicious conduct and asked for di-
| vorce, alimony and a division and re-
adjustment OF their property interests.
Feehley, in opposing his wife's ap-
peal, declared that as there was no
| divorce in the eyes of the Catholic
Church there had been no remarriage
! He argued that there had been no
marriage ceremony at the time they
were reunited by the priest, but that
only a blessing had been pronounced.
The lawyers for Feehley pointed out
that no license was issued and no
banns published for the second cere-
mony.
| The deposition of the priest who Of
ficiated was taken. He said that there
was no remarriage, as the Catholic
Church did not recognize divorce. In
his decision Judge Bond said that the
priest had admitted there was some
sort OF ceremony and that they con
sented to take each other as man and
wife-that was all"
On the deposition made by the
Fpriest, Judge Bond held that the mar
T'fage ceremony had been performed
The Judge said he had made the de
cision after some hesitation and that
he hoped the opinion of the Court OF
Appeals would be had on the subject
