At 2 o’clock Sunday afternoon the remains tvere removed from the rec tory to the church and placed on a catafalque in front of the chapel rail. There during the afternoon and night hundreds of parishioners, friends and dignitaries of the Catholic Church paid a last tribute. The body had been in the rectory, and it is estimated that over 6,000 visited the late home or the church. At the masses Monday morning the clergy spoke in brief eulogies of Father Logue. The church was ap propriately draped in and out. At the 8 o’clock mass Rev. Joseph A. Smith, assistant pastor, carried the farewell message that Father Logue gave him to the parishioners. He told how Father Logue had requested him early Thursday morning to bid his peo ple goodbye, as he knew then that re covery was impossible. “ I have been here but a short while, and knew Father Logue not so well as many of you,” said Father Smith. “ I was able to find out in my short ac quaintance with him, as a partially well man, why he'was so highly held as a man and priest.

R. Smith from the $10,000 paid by company to the village for improving the street. The company took the stand that the Courts had decided this was private property and the Board had no right to spend the money there. The work having beep practically completed, no attention could be paid to the com plaint. A communication was received from Onslow-Moore Co., by A. A.

Coming Events Wednesday evening, Oct. 8—Phono graph recital, Fraternal Council R. A. Jewish New Year Festival The Jewish New Year, Rosh Hash- onah, began Wednesday evening, Oct. 1. This is a Jewish holy season and ends with Shemini Atzereth—The Feast of Conclusion—on the evening of October 23. In the Jewish tradition, Rosh Hash- onah marks the anniversary of the cre ation of the world, supposed to have taken place 5,674 years ago. The present Rosh Hashonah, therefore will mark the beginning of the year 5,674. The change of date, however, is of little or no importance, and if the Jew ish New Year’s Day had no further significance, its appeal to the Jew would be very faint indeed. It is not the change of year but the change of life that this day stresses, that makes it stand out as one of the holiest days in the Jewish calendar. Herein it radically differs from our civil New Year, it is a day set apart for intros pection and self-examination. The sacred character of this day is implied in the two other names by which it is known, viz., the Day of Memorial and the Day of the Blowing of Trumpets. In the first place it is the Day of Me morial, or Remembrance. As such, it calls upon the Jew to remember the divine purpose of his life; secondly, it is the Day of the - Blowing of Trum pets. Its purpose is to rouse Israel from hia self-complacency and stir him to high resolves and nobler deeds. Roeh Hashonah derives its signifi cance from thg fact that it is but the introduction to the Day of Atone ment, which follows ten days later Before one can realize the need of Atonement, it is necessary that he be come conscious of hia short comings; for so Icng as we imsgine ourselves whole, it may never occur to us that we need a physician; so long aa we do not admit our sinfulness, we shall hardly feel the need of being forgiven. Hence, to make the Atonement possi ble, we must have Roah Hashonah which is also designated as the Yom Hadln—the Day of Judgment—the day whereon we weigh ourselves In the bal ance, and perforce, find ourselves wanting; for ”there is no righteous man upon earth that doeth good always and slnneth not.” The essential ceremony of the serv ices in the synagogue on Rosh Hashon ah is the blowing of trampets, in ac cordance with the injunction in Levit icus 28:24, which reads, \In the sev enth month, on the first day of the haopth shall ye have a Sabbath, a me morial of bloving of trumpets and holy convocation.” In the Reform Synagogue, Rosh Hashonah is celebrated from Sunset of October the first to Sunset of October the second, whereas among Orthodox Jews, the holiday does not end until Sunset of October the third.

At Wahlent Delicatessen, 71 «th Main St. g i g g M g . Parkerson Chief of Police Charles A. Parkerson is now chief of Police of the Village of Freeport, and not Police Captain, as annou iced by the city papers. At a special meeting of the Board of Trustees last Saturday morning the following resolutions were offered by Trustee Randall, seconded by Trustee Raynor, and were passed, according to the minutes of the village clerk: Resolved, that Charles A. Parkerson be and he hereby is appointed a village policeman of the Village of Freeyort, Nassau County, New York, and that such appointment shall be for the cur rent official year, unless sooner re moved by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Freeport, and it is further Resolved, that said Charles A. Park erson be and he is hereby appointed as Chief of Police, and it is further Resolved, that said Charles A. Park erson, Park Chief of Police, shall re ceive a salary of $50 per month, com mencing Oct. 1, 1913. This appointment was made follow ing the resignation of Smith Cox, who by virtue of his office as President of the Village, held the office of Chief of Police until the appointment was made. A resolution was passed, providing in effect that Mr. Parkeraon should re ceive instructions relative to his office from President Cox.

City Island is a suburb of New York City, with a pop ulation of poeuibly 1000, at the out side.

A resolution was passed for the Clerk to secure bids for a storage shed at the power house, in accordance with plans. Police Quarters Moved Upon motion, Mr. Smith appointed four inspectors as follows: J. Huyler kllison, Henry L. Maxson, Henry P. Libby and Archer B. Wallace. The officers were sworn in by Henry L. Maxson. and Mr. Maxson was sworn in by Mr. Wallace. A WORD ABOUT AUTOMOBILES. From experience, I am going to give a word of advice to my readers. If look back, I you are contemplating buying an auto- would mobile, be sure to give first considera tion to cars which you can buy of deal ers in your home territory or whom you can reach without going away from home. There will be lots of small matters which will come up, which you will find much more convenient to talk about with a man who you can reach when you want him, and whom you know when you are talking with him. ARE THE MOTOR MINIMUMS TOO HIGH? While the municipal building propo sition is still supposed to be hanging fire it is doubtful if it will be submit ted at the coming election for the erec tion of the building, so here’s the old proposition to think over: We must have land for the fire hous- ea. There is no dodging the issue or putting it off. We did that ten years ago. At that time the land where Hose 1, 2 and 3 are located, could have been bought for $5 to $15 a foot. Now we are not only confronted by the proposition of paying from $200 to $300 a foot for desirable land, but the land most desirable, where the com panies are at present located, CAN NOT BE BOUGHT at any price, ex cept by condemnation proceedings. Personally, I think we as firemen bother too much with this proposition. The police department, for instance, do not worry about where they are to be quartered. It is up to the village to see that they are taken care of and so should it be with the Fire Depart ment. This is, speaking as a fireman and not as a taxpayer. We have attempted at various times to bring this proposition to a head and submit it to the voters, but have al ways been told either that we asked too much and would not get it or to wait until a time when there were not a lot of other propositions to be sub mitted. There will never be such a time again in Freeport. The law in relation to the govern ment of fire departments in localities where there is no Board of Fire Com missioners, is a badly mixed up affair. It seems to give the Fire Council ab solute authority over the entire work ings of the department, stili they have not the power to spend money or to submit a proposition to the voters. Thus, while they would have no say in the securing of sites, they could refuse to allow the apparatus to be housed anywhere except on a site agreeable to them, and would never consent to this being put on some side street be- cheaper and possess- a little more than usual, and will deavor to report the meeting about it occurred.

Killed While Saving Others David W. Smith was killed by a Long Island motor train at Atlantic and Railroad Avenues, East New York, Sunday evening, after he had saved two women from possible death. He had time only to push the women to the street and leap back from the path of an outbound train to the inbound tracks. He stepped directly in front of a train running in from Jamaica to Brooklyn. . The accident was so sudden every car passed over Smith’s body before the motorman could atop the train. Smith, whose home in Freeport was at No. 26^Grand Avenue, where he had boarded for some time with Mrs. Rheinhart, waa employed by the rail road to guard against accidents at the Railroad Avenue grade crossing. He was on duty at 6:80 o’clock, when twfr e*^e,*n *8* when people teem elderly women, who disappeared after the accident and whose names were not learned, started to cross the tracks despite his warning. The quick res cue and Smith’s death followed almost Instantly. Vogts Celebrate be prepared in any event, and/ his handling of the various questions saved much time. He called attention to the method of voting, which he said might be by ballot, or be recording the ayes and noes, which it would be well to de cide before anything further was done. After arranging a few more prelim inaries, and after a vote had been car ried that the decision should be made by an aye and no vote, the first resolu tion was taken up, for the Grove Street site. Rev. D. A. Jordan, chair man of the committee of seven ap pointed at a previous meeting, moved the adoption of this site. William S. Hall seconded this motion. Mr. Hall said that from his knowledge of school conditions extending over many years, he believed this to be for the very best interest of the district. This site should be purchased while available, in order to prevent any objectionable buildings being put up near the school house (applause). Henry L. Maxson said he waa somewhat surprised at the price asked for this piece of property, and considered it all out of reason. “ It is wonderful how land raises in value when we want to sell it to a school district (hand clapping).

The writer has attended every school meeting in Freeport for the past 10 years or more, and has never seen one in which the chairman haa shown him self so completely in possession of ev ery detail of the law, with the ability of keeping things moving, as at the meeting last Friday night, at the Grove Street School. With six propo sitions to be voted upon and a number of people wishing to express their opinion, and over 300 waiting to vote, the meeting was carried along, with out any unnecessary delay, and the whole matter settled without any ad journments, as was anticipated might be necessary.
