FMher Logue's Funeral
More than one hundred priests and high dignitaries of the Catholic Church including Right Rev. Charles E. Mc¬ Donnell, Bishop of the Diocese, parti¬ cipated in the impressive requiem mass in the Church of the Holy Redeemer, Monday, over the body of its late pas¬ tor. Rev. Cbaries A. Logue. The celebrant of the mass was Rev. Thom as O'Brien of Whitestone, a classmate I of Father Logoe's, and the deacon and sub-deacon were Rev. William B. Far¬ rell of Sts. Peter and Paul's Church, Brooklyn, and Rev. Frederick A. Lund of Our Lady of Loretto, Hempstead.
The eulogy was pronounced by Rev. John A. Belford of the Chnrch of the Nativity, Brooklyn, and the benedic¬ tion in full form by Bishop McDonnell.
The musical selections of the mass were very beautiful. Parosi's full mass was sung. J. VV. Scanlon direct¬ ed the singing and the quartet consist¬ ed of Signor Guetari, first tenor; Frank J. Corbett, second tenor; R. V. Modney, baritone, and J. W. Scanlon, biiss. Hall Martin, jr., was the org ariiit.
A bass solo "Teach Me to Pray," WB3 sung by Mr. Scanlon at the con¬ clusion of the mass, and as tbe body was being taken from the church, the quartet sang "Abic^e With Me."
The bodv was taken to Boston Mon¬ day night where it lay in state all night at the Church of Our Lady of Good Counsel, Jamaica Plain, and an¬ other requiem mass was celebrated over it there, on Tuesday, Rev. George A. Lyons,' pastor of tbc church,   being

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, andif 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 iife 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. Tbe 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 calla 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 his self-complacency and stir him to high resolves and nobler deeds.
Rosh Hashonah derives its signifi¬ cance from tb^ faet that it is but the introduction to tbe Day of Atone¬ ment, wbich follows ten days later. Before one can realize the need of Atonement, it is necessary that he be¬ come conscious of his short comings; for so long as we imagine ourselves whole, it may never occur to us that we need a pbysician; so long as 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 Rosh Hashonah which is also designated as the Yom Hadin—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 tkat doeth good always and sinneth not."
Tbe essential ceremony of tbe serv¬ ices in the synagogue on Rosh Hashon¬ ah is the blowing of trampets, in ac¬ cordance with the injunction in Levit* icus 23:24, which reads, "In tfae sev¬ enth month, on the flrst day of tbe Bioptb shall ye have a Sabbath, a me¬ morial of blowing of trumpets and holy convocation."
In the Reform Synagogue, Rosh Haabooab is celebrated from Sunset of Oetober tbe first to Sunset of Oetober tbe second, vfbereas among Orthodox Jews, tbe boljday does not end antil SoDset of Oetober tbe tbird.
the celebrant.
Then the body was taken to Holy Hood Cemetery, Dorchester Heights, for interment.
At 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon the remains  eere 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 leclury, anu it is estimated that over 6,000 visited tbe 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 Fatber Lo^^ue had requested him early Thursday morninr; to bid his peo¬ ple goodbye, as he kne-.v then that re¬ covery was impoBsi'jIe.
"I have been here but a short while, and knew Fatiicr 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 wellman, why he'was so highly held as a man and priest. To know him was to love him, as he was more than pastor—he was spiritual director and adviser. He was nature's nobleman and a trus disciple of God. Pray for hini, not because he needs prayer so much—he died in the sacrifice of God's work—but because by our prayers we shall show our love for him."
There will be a cake and candy sale by the three classes in the Junior De¬ partment of the M. E. Church at the home of Miss Libby Hewlett, West Merrick Road, Saturday afternoon of this week. .^

I am nol familiar enuf with the cost of producing electricity to know the reason for the minimum being fixt or fixt so high, but presume it has to do with the expense of installing trans¬ formers, etc., which is done at the ex¬ pense of the village. It ia too bad, however, that something cannot be done to remedy conditions.

While the municipal boilding 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 hoos¬ es. 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 1300 a foot for desirable land, but the land most desirable, where the com¬ panies aro at present located. CAN¬ NOT BE BOUGHT at any price, ex¬ cept by condemnation proceedings. PersoiiBlly, I think we as firemen bother t<'o 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 file departments in localities where there is no Board of Fire Com¬ missioners, is a badly mixed up afTair. 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. Thua, while they woold have no say in the securing of sites, they could refuse to allow the apparatus to be houaed anywhere except on a site agreeable to them, and would never consent to this being put on some side street be¬ cause land was cheaper and pos-^ess- ing no other advantages.
And so lhe proposition remains. If there is a piece of saleable property and steps are taken to acquire it ior a fire house eithvr the price goes up or it is not for sale. Undoubteilly, soon¬ er or later, these properties will have to be acquired by con(lemnBtion, which, in addition to the natural increase in the value of the property, will entail considerable expense.

A GOOD CHAIRMAN.
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 has 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 t3 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
think they have a right to take all they can from tbe public treasury." Mr. Maxson said he was opposed to this proposition on geperal principals. It would center the school building, . which   be  did   not   approve   of,    and j

The Memorial service of the depart¬ ment to be held in the Presbyterian Church this Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock will probably be one of the largest attended services of its char¬ acter ever held in the village.
While the service is in memory of all the members of the de|)artn)ent who have died since its inception, it is held in the Presbyterian Church as a token of respect to the memory of our first chaplain. Rev. Charles H. Scholey, whose influence among the firemen will be far reaching. Dr. Scholey has been ably succeeded by Rev. A. W. E. Carrington, who is to conduct the memorial services.
All firemen are requested to attend in uniform, and seats will be reserved in the church for them. Those who have not uniforms, however, are re¬ quested not to let the fact keep them from participating in the services as firemen.
The address of the afternoon will be delivered by Rev. John Howard Mel¬ lish, rector of Trinity Church, Brook¬ lyn, well known as a speaker upon topics of this nature, and all the clergy of the village have been invited to at¬ tend the service as guests of tbe de¬ partment. All are invited and will be welcomed. Uniformed firemen will act as ushers. The men will meet at the engine bouse and march to tha church in a body.
