HOOS FOR ASSEMBLY.
Important Movement Among the
Respectable Democrats Of
the Third.

A number of inf uential men in the
Third district have started boom for
Alderman Hoos for the Assembly nomin-
alton. The movement is not confined to
party men, although the Democracy of
Mr. Hoos is we'll known. 1t
sprung from desire to see nominated
a man in whom all citizens and taxpayers
could have confidence, and to retire from
public view the Jim Murphys and Jim
Clarkes who are aspirants for Office. The
movement is meeting with much encour-
agement and If Mr.. Hoos can be prevailed
on to make an effort to secure the nomi-
nation he can win. He will be backed by
men of character and influence and not
by the Ring. and with this aid and his
personal Influence, it Is believed, he can
easily secure a majority of the delegates
in the convention.
When he accepted the nomination for
Assembly in 1887 against Colonel Samuel
ID. Dickinson, the strongest Republican
in the district, he gave the colonel the
hardest battle Of his life. Mr.. Hoos was
defeated by only seventy-nine votes, and
was then Republican at all
time from 800 to 500 majority. This was
before the change in the district lines
made it an almost Democratic district.
Colonel Dickinson has often said since
then tnat Mr. HOoS was the strongest
Democrat in the Third district.
Tine gentlemen who will anttsaver to
persuade Mr.. Hoos to take the nominal
tion are actuated solely by desire to
secure Democratic victory. They know
that Jim Murphy cannot win if NOM
mated because of his shameful course in
the Legislature last winter, and they
know also that Murphy would
prefer to be appointed to fill the unex-
pired term of Freeholder Donnelly, and
Sheriff Davis would prefer it also, for If
appointed by the Board now, he would
according to party usage be returned next
fall to the Board of FreehoIders and
would vote for Davis for jailer Jim
Clarke, another saloon keeper, also wants
the Assembly nomination.
He has been to the Legislature once,
and the people have had enough of him.
Besides these two men there are others
of about the came type and calibre who
are trying by hook or crook to get the
machine to nominate them.
The representative citizens behind the
Hoos movement realize that such men as
the Murphys and Clarkes cannot be
elected when the Republicans nominate
man like Simeon Smith, and for that rea-
son they want Mr.. Hoos to become can
didata

WAKES AND FUNERALS.
Father Hennessey Condemns the
Present Mode Of Conducting
Them and Tells What
They Should Be.

The worshippers at ST. Patrick s Church
last Sunday morning were greatly sur
prised, and ut the same time, on the
which the pastor, the Rev. Father Hen
nessey denounced the abuses OF modern
wakes and funerals. The church was
thronged, and after the mass Father
Hennessey addressed the congrega-
ton. After referring to the scandalous
manner in which many wakes are con-
Quoted in these days, he said that wake
from the derivation of the word meant a
watch. But it had come to be a rout in
stead OF watch. Crowds of men and
women congregated in the house of the
dead. where pipes and tobacco and
whisky were freely to be had. Unseemly
conduct prevailed. Men conducted them
selves in reprehensible manner and
women, who hocked to The house of the
dead in large numbers, INDUCED in loose
conversation, chatter gossip and scan
daIous "reminiscences.
This the priest declared, was a great
scandal and an offence to religion, and
then he proceeded to show how wake
should be conducted The visitors should
merely go to the house of the dead, he
said. and after reciting the prayers of the
church, the miserere, the De Profundis
and the holy rosary, they should at once

by few friends. Wax candles should
be placed about the body and crucifix
at the head. while all the surroundings
should breathe an air of piety and re-
ligion.
Father.H r.Hennessey then turned his atten-
tion to funerals. He described the mod
ern funeral. with its pIumed hearse,
pompously caparisoned horses and long
line of carriages. He deprecated such
pomp and outward show which conveyed,
he said, the impression that the friends
Of the deceased were more concerned for
the personal remains rather than the
soul Of the departed. Undertakes, he
said, all complained of the enormous
amount of bad debts on their books.
which were all incurred by the lavish ex-
Iravagance in the matter OF funerals of
people wholly unable to bear the ex-
pense.
He cited in proof of his assertion the
case OF two undertakers of his acquaint-
ance, one of whom said he had $40, 600 and
the other $11 900 of these bad debts on
had any hope of collecting. AS the con-
gregation left the church the one topic of
their conversation was the remarks of the
pastor. Although the majority of those
who heard the address endorsed the
priests views, there were some who
thought that he went TOO far in his con-
demnation of wakes and funerals.
In speaking of the subject this morn
ing Father Hennessey said that since de-
l1verlng his address on Sunday he has
received numerous letters from his parish
toner's. warmly commencing his words and
expressing willingness to assist him in
any movement which he may undertake

The motion was put and carried with

representative citizens.
Surveyor Thomas H. McCann was the
first speaker. He explained the map of
the new system in detail. Mr.. Fteley,
engineer of the New York aqueduct, then
explained the methods of The new sys-
tenn. He said that the new system was
simply n number of pumping stations.
He said that the system was in vogue in

Mr.. Barry said that he thought the sys-
tenn too expensive. The present system
of sewerage would be all right If the
sluice gates now in use were tore down
and more modern ones used.
Ex-Mayor Tfmken said that the new
system was an admirable one, but he
thought that the Martin act should be
enforced before the city was saddled with
such an enormous debt as would be con-
tracted by the new system. He favored
the new system if the city would compel
the spectators who own lands in the
meadow district to pay up.
Counsellor John G. Besson advocated a

of the system by the people before any
steps should be taken. He believed that
every taxpayer should be thoroughly
