Postmaster McKenn and Superintendent
Collins Make Their Plans.
Postmaster Mexican and Superintendent
of Mails Collins have arranged plans for the
occupancy of the basement and first floor of
the new Government building. These plans
will have to be adopted by the Treasury
Department. Then work will be begun.
The postmaster's general office is to be in
the Smithfeld street and Fourth avenue
corner. This Office will face Smithfield
street, while his private Office faces Fourth
avenue. This takes up the space to the
Fourth avenue entrance. Above the en-
trance will be the cashiers office, and the
registry department. will occupy the Fourth
avenue and Cherry alley corEer. There are
two rooms here, one on Fourth avenue and
the other faces Cherry alley. The depart
ment will have great deal of room here.
The money order department will be To-
Gated in the Smithfeld street and Third
avenue corner. The general Office will face
Smithfeld street, while the vaults will be
on Third avenue. Just above the Third
avenue entrance will be the inquiry depart
ment. Superintendent of Mails Collins will
occupy the Cherry alley and Third avenue
corner room. In the Superintendent of
Mails' room will be located the weigher of
mails.
The entire space in the center of the build
ing on the first floor is to be covered with
glass. In this section the city department
will work. Directly in front of the Smith
field street entrance are to be located the
stamp windows; two on each side of the
vaults. To the left Of the stamp windows
are to be the ladies' and gentlemen's general
delivery boxes. To the left are the drop
boxes. The Third and Fourth avenue sides
of this space are to be used for lock boxes.
In the rear will be the carriers department
and the carriers delivery. Mails will all
be delivered in the rear, at the Cherry alley
entrance.

laced over the natural wood, without stain
beyond that impaired by the shellac; the
result, if well done, is a soft golden hue,
that grows darker and richer as time ad-
vances In the living room and dining
room, the wall is sheathed to height of 2
feet inches from the floor, in simple strips
as shown by the sketch, and finished as de-
scribed above.
For the wall surface in this room mate
rial is used commonly known as cartridge
or ingram paper, and is thick and soft.
The color is a dull sage green; this may
ssem too quiet, or perhaps dull and oppress-
i've to some minds, but little thought Will
show its desirabiity.
The room having two exposures is more
than likely to have the bright sunlight ly-
ing in it-as far as the piazza will allow
nearly all day, and a quiet, solid wall color
is desirable, else there will be glare from
sun reflections, ard furthermore the room is
comparatively small, and will allow of no
broad surface of bright colors or pattern, TO
destroy all sense of repose. Think of being
shut up all day in a room 11x16, and the
walls covered with large gilt figures, or in
deed figures of any kind.
Sage green as color, is restful and har-
monious, and also gives background almost
any cheerful hue harmonizing with it,
especially yellows and yellow pinks and
reds. 1t is a tone that sets off the pictures
and bric-a-brac; the dull surface lends itself
particularly well to that. The frieze is of
the same material and in color rich old
gold, and the decorations here suggested are
intended to be of home manufacture. Di-
vide the rolls of oId-gold paper in the middle
lengthwise, draw and carefully cut out the
three stencil patterns here suggested, on a
sheet of oiled stenciled paper; lay the cart
ridge paper on large fat table, and draw
the brush "a stiff fat one) with quick, deft

brought to bear, that it was supposed Will
lam S. Brown would gather in the appoint
ment IS dark horse. Senator Quay, how
ever, did business and successfully landed
his man.
John Fleming bravo is native Of West
moreland county. He was born at West
Newton on October 20, 1919. After receiv-
ing fair education at the common schools,
he took course at Meadville College and
graduated with honors. After leaving col
lege he became a local preacher in the
Methodist Episcopal Church. Finding
business more to his taste than the ministry
he entered the coal business about 1910 and
founded the town of Drsvosburg, on the
Monongahela river. He has been almost
uniformly successful in every business ven
ture. At different times he has been a
member of the Coal Exchange and Presi-
dent of the Chamber OF Commerce.
At present Mr.. bravo is director of the
Trademarks National Bank and Of the
Peoples Insurance Company, trustee of
Allegheny College and President of the
Board of Trustees of Beaver College. While
a resident of Allegheny county, he was
four years director and vice president of
the Pennsylvania Reform School and served
eight years as director OF the Allegheny
County Home. He removed to Beaver
borough in 1868, where he has since re-
sided.
For number Of years Mr.. bravo has
also been prominent figure in Pennsyl-
vania politics. In 1881 he was appointed
Surveyor of the Port of Pittsburg by Presi-
dent Garfield and served until Mr..
Barr, the present incumbent, was
appointed. He is at present men,
ber Of the House of Representatives,
having been elected in 1886. At one time
he was Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee, and as Chairman on the Com
mittee OF Constitutional Reform he intro
duced the prohibitory amendment.
He was married in 1S43 to Elizabeth J.
Clark. OF their nine children five survive.
The Washington correspondent of The
DISPATCH telegrsphs: THE DISPATCH
has all along been advised in these tele-
grams that the appointment of surveyor
for the port Of Pittsburg would occur about
the time of Senator Quay's return from
Florida, and it came to-day, and Hon.
John bravo is the man. As the appoint
ment of Mr.. Dravo has been understood to
be practically settled for some time, it oc-
casioned no surprise. Representative Dal-
zell took the matter philosophically, merely
saying: 81 am getting accustomed to this
sort of treatment, and am not at all sur
prised at Mr.. Dravo's nomination. 1 do
not, however, desire to discuss the matter,
and do not wish to pose as being dis
gruntled."

in style and modern in design, without
being so far radical in its character to be
''out OF style" in days to come. The roof
lines are broad and sweeping giving to the
cottage that cozy and homelike appearance
that is so desirable as an element of pic
turesqueness in a small house. The root
lines extending over the piazza in an un-
broken sweep, give it this character and at
the same time are saving in construction,
as breaks in the length of timbers are then
avoided. The monotony of the long roof
lines is broken by the front gaLle and bal
oony, making a pleasing and highly decora-
five feature to that frontage. Such cot
tage nesting amid green trees with cool,
vine-covered pIazzas Will make not only an
agreeable retreat from the din and heat of a
large city during the summer months, but a
pretty and attractive suburban home for all
times
Let us consider the internal arrangements;
here every available space has been made
use of to the best possible advantage. The
front OF the house has really two available
entrances; theone on the extreme right leads
from a small entry in front, directly to the

AN ELECTRIC REPORT,
The New York Senate Committee Favors
Currents of $50 Volts.

The New York Senate Committee Favors
Currents of $50 Volts.
The New York Senate Committee ap-
pointed to examine into the perils COLI
nected with overhead electric wires has
made its report. They recommend the
burial Of wires in towns having a popula-
tion of 125, 900 people. They also would ex-
clude currents Of more than 250 volts from
buildings. The committee comes to the
conclusion that the high and low
tension as we'll as alternating systems Of
electricity are not dangerous if the wires are
protected with the proper kind of devices.
The committee in its work consulted the
English experts, Profs. Thomson and
Forbes.
Before the committee began its work
Harold P. Brown, the electric executioner,
said that if the alternating system was
abolished there would be no danger from
electricity. The Westinghouse people were
slightly ratified by the statement, but the
report is full vindication of their system,
and the local company can now. maintain its
foothold in New York.

THE CHURCH CHOIR.
Its Original Purpose Hns Either Been For.

Its Original Purpose Hns Either Been For.
gotten or Ignored.
Church singing is matter in which there
is need of reform, says writer in the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat. Choirs wish the
singing to be with smoothness and grace, SO
the music tends to cold exactness and loses
its enthusiasm. It becomes mechanical and
without soul. Then, too, choir singers get
the idea that they are the only persons who
can sing, or who have the right to sing.
Others who have sweet voices and some de-
gree OF musical talent are jealously op-
posed. They who sing poorly are not
helped. Ii the church abounded with
singers the excellencies of the few would
be hidden. Heartfelt song dies. and with
it the warmth of spirituality also perishes.
The fundamental hidden idea OF the choir
seems to be that the choir is to do the
singing and be honored. 1t should be to
help and teach the church to sing. The
choir should be as large as possible, then
those who can sing would be helping those
who are not so fortunate. By this method
the choir would be, as it should, the musi-
cal training school of the church. The
church would sing in spite of itself, and
those who were not singers would hum
the tune.

color for each pattern, and scatter hap

and your frieze is ready Tor the paper hanger.
The ceiling should be tinted the same

rose, coming to perfect blue in the center.
There should be no elaborate center piece.
This treatment, although peculiar and
novel, if properly treated will bring about

good taste is in keeping with the character
of this room. For covering use wool tapes

also be used 10 advantage.

BROOKLYN Eagle.l
Now that Broker Henry S. Ives is out of
Jail his old acquaintances are wondering
whether he will return to his old boarding
place in Sidney place. While residing here
and living in an unpretentious manner the
boy broker was making money rapidly.
During his stay he purchased the mansion
on Joralemon street and furnished it in
princely fashion, and his fellow boarders
one fine morning missed the clerical looking
broker from his accustomed place among
them.
While on Sidney place Ives had the repu-
tation of being fluent and ready talker.
They tell story of the house to-day about
his loquaclty. Ives was in the habit of Wis
iting quite frequently gentleman who had
a room adjoining his, and it was his delight
to talk about his different schemes. Once
well under way, the young broker would
talk like house afre. One night his com.
panion became tired and turned into bed
while Ives was conversing. The fact that
his listener had retired did not disturb Ives
in the least, he kept right on with his narra-
tive. After a while the gentleman in the
bed pulled up the covers and said, 81 am
going to sleep, Ives, but you talk right on,
and when you leave don't forget to close the

This room is large, of comfortable shape and

a most desirable feature during the heated
