NEW YORK, July 18.-Convinced
that Brooklyn police are not attending
to their duty of protecting life and
property, the residents of Quincy street
in that borough, who formed an asso-
citation after the shooting of Albert G.
Latimer, are resolved that they will
take the matter in their own hands,
and, if they can, get some aid from
Commissioner Partridge, they will see
that the policemen are not so lax.
They met at Quincy street and
adopted resolution calling attention
to the lack of police protection, and
saying that for the money which was
expended to pay the police force of the
borough much better results should be
forthcoming. They called on the city
officials to see that the present con
ditions was remedied, declaring that
the residents of Brooklyn were entitled
to better treatment at the hands Of the
authorities.
In the meantime it is their idea that
some of their number should be active
in instituting a reform. To this end
petition was drawn up, which was for
warded to Commissioner Partridge,
asking that he appoint ten residents
of the street as special policemen.
While it may not seem that these men.
the STREETS as do the men who wea.
uniforms, they will stir up the negli-
gent members of the force and compel
them to give more attention to their
duties.
|. They will be on the lookout con-
stantly for policeman who is shlrk-
ing his work, and where they find one
lounging on his post, or talking to com
panionS or citizens instead OF patrol
ling his post they will take his number
and report mis- dereliction to his SUI
periorS.
In the petition ten of the residents
are named as those who should be
| made special policemen.
First American Saints Church.
A new Harlem Roman Catholic
| church, st. Rose of Lima, has been for
| mally added to the number of houses Oh
worship, the cornerstone of the ed1hce
| being laid by Mgr. Joseph F. Mooney

Musical Girl Has Her Day.
What, with one young girl engaged
by the city to sing in it's parks, and
another whistling in church on a Sun
| day morning, the young girl with mu-
| steal proclivities seems to be having
| her innings at season when most per-
| sons are having their outings. Inc
whistler has been in New York for
some time. Cheerfully and bhthely
| she has whistIed at the womens CLUBS
in the winter for the practical advan-
taee that it would be to her. The wo-
men listened and said, How charm-
| ing" and applauded for encores, but
| Miss Truax gained no great fame from
| these performances. She whistles once
| in church and all is changed. 1t TOOK
the combination of whistling and the
sacred ediflce to make her wldeiy
| known Some pious persons do not
| think Whistling in church is right, and
some do not think it is good taste but
| that detracts nothing from the gain TO
the whistler from her appearance as
| a church whistler.
