the OLD posroFFIoE.
Movement To lave the city Buy IL aus
Convert 1t Into n Police station.

Movement TO have the city Buy 1t aud
Convert 1t Into Poiios station.
A'movement is on foot which will
probably result in City Council being
asked to take steps to acquire the old
Federal Building at Sixth and King
streets and convert it into police
station. This would take the police
away from the City Hall and the
latter building could be put in good
shape at much less expense than il the
police are to be provided for there,
while it is an impossibility to make
proper provision for the police at the
City Hall. The old Federal Building,
which has been idle ever since the new
building was occupied, three years ago,
is rated at $50, 900 and it is believed
that it could be readily bought for
that. II it is not disposed Of at private
sale it is likely that the government
will auction it off in the near future.
The building, which was erected in
1S5S-60, is in good condition. 1t was
constructed with q view to giving
much service and at an expense OF
probably 5000 it can be converted
into police station that will offer
much better accommodations than the
present stationhouse. 1t would also
give an opportunity to deliver prisoners
at tho stationhouse without exposing
them to view, as is necessary at present.
The patrol wagons could be driven in
the alley leading off King street and
| around the rear of the building and
out on Sixth street.
1t would also afford better accom-
modations for people having business
with the commissioners, chief, captains
and house sergeauts. At present people
desiring to see the officer in-chargt
must pass close to the cells which
sometimes contain noisy and disorderly
| prisoners. The present stationhouse /!
| also ovcrrun with vermin, and al
| efforts to exterminate the bugs are un
availing. 1t is said there are bugs al
over the building, and on one occasion
they were so numerous in Council
chamber that Council held meeting
elsewhere.
Tho old Federal Building contains ,
court room. which could be used TO
holding the sessions Of the City Court
office rooms and other rooms which
would answer the purposes of TIN
police department very well. Whel
Chief Dolan was spoken to about tn
matter he favored the idea.
Through the efforts Of Senator Ora.
and Congressman Handy, an act wa
passed in Congress- giving the Board q
Education free use Of the building n
long as it was not needed for som
other purpose, but for some reason tn
board has never taken possession of
and the indications are that it wi
never be used by the board.
1t is likely that it will be necessary
in the near future, to establish sui
station in the western part of the city
Trenton, N. j., which has a smallC
population and does not cover as muc
territory, has two stationhouses.

is A THING OF THE PAST
The Street Railway Strike in Brooklyn
Ended; Time Schedule Restored.
A FEW OF THE RAILS CREASED

OVERT ACTS ARE NOT AppREAENDED

New York, July 22.-The street rail
way mems strike in Brooklyn is a
thing of the past. The time schedules
OF the various surface railroads are,
today, practically restored and main
tanned through the city and suburbs.
Aside from creased rails and the
occasional explosion of torpedo,
which had been placed on the tracks
by sympathizers, in the hope to
frighten new motormen, nothing him
dered the general operation Of the
roads during last night.
While overt acts are no longer appre-
hended, the police have not yet been
Withdrawn from the cars on lines
passing through neighborhoods where
interference might occur.
1t is now generally believed that tho
bullet which penetrated Detective
| Fosters leg, last night, at Seventh
avenue and Fifth street, came from
| the revolver of Detective Crane, who
accompanied him. Only one shot was
heard, and Crane fired that. John
Condor and Paul Boynes, who were
arrested at the time, are striking
motormen, and will be given an ex-
animation, charged with being sus-
| pioious persons.
About 2 o'clock this morning, q car
of the Rockaway avenue line started
from the Adams street police station,
with 10 policemen in charge OF
Sergeant Dillon, for Canaroie, to re-
lieve force that had been on duty
there. When the car reached Dumoni
avenue, it ran off "blind" switch
and upset, throwing all on board down
slight embankment. Seven of the
policemen we're cut and bruised
severely. An ambulance surgeon wa:
called, and their injuries were patched
up. The mishap was accidental.
A Seventh avenue car ran over {
torpedo at Fourteenth street at 2.3l
o'clock this morning, causing the con
ductor to stop. The policemen accom-
panying the Car dismounted, and
proceeding further on, expecting t,
discover more torpedoes, found piec

BOSS OF AII TIE BUGS.
Colonel Aiuscow Disoourses Learnediy
About the Tsrndolena, or Ice Bug.

Colonel Aiuscow Disoourses Learneuiy
About the Tarndolena, or Ice Bug.
j." 'Tarndelena, that's the Latin of
it," said Col. A. /. Ainscow Monday
morning, in speaking of new kind OF
bug which he said was found on 100
pound cake Of ice. The colonel says
that honest. staid, upright bugs have
been accused of being kissing bugs"
and talks interestingly Of the finding
Of this new insect. Although this was
a small specimen of the tarndelena, its
body was six inches long aud its wings
eight inches across. Its Identification
was fixed by Samuel Hawkins, traveller
and entomologist, whose acquaintance
with the variety extends to South
American journey, when he saw hocks
of the bugs coming down the noun
tains, carrying ice with them.
A close examination Of the bug mem
toned by Col. Ainscow disclosed, ac-
cording to the colonel. an ice pick
under the right wing and a pair OF
tongs under the left wing. The only
way for the 100 poundscake of ice to
escape was to melt away.
No cases have yet been reported Of
leo wagons being carried away by this
insect.

are shaped about the lower forearm by
long line tucks. marked on the pat
tern. The fulness of these tucks forms
narrow ruflie that sits like ruching
about the hand. The belt is shaped
to the figure, and has rows of stitching
like those seen on the baud trimming.
The original model was made over a
leaf green tatfeta. and this was en-
ployed for the Innings of the bands and
for the rolled collar. The tucks and
bands were stitched with green silk of
the same shade. The high collar and
! chemisette were of deep yellowish cream
silk under white lace, and slight
| jabot of the latter ornamented the edge
of the front fastening of the bodice.
A very pretty effect is given by placing
| the centre Of the back Of the over-dress
pattern upon fold of the goods. In
! this way habit effect may be easily
secured when yelling or cashmere or
any wide width goods is employed.
To make this costume as shown in
the illustration 10 yards Of yelling A
I inches wide will be required, and IA
yards Of taffeta.

A very charming treatment Of ecru

Harper's Bazaar. The skirt shows lines
that suggest double over-dress. In
reality there is but one long over
drapery, the second line being formed
by fiat tiounce adjusted to the main
skirt. The latter is tight sheath in
form, and allows for 10-inch train.
The over dress closes at point just
at the left of the centre OF the front.
and is fastened by two large rolled !
gold buttons. The flounce and over
dress are trimmed with stitched yelling
bands, patterns of which do not accom-
pany that of the skirt. The bodice
has very pretty rolling collar, with
lower ends that form inward turning

group of vertical line tucks extending
across the shoulders, and reaching only
to an ordinary yoke line. The slight
fulness from these tucks is gathered
