Plans Approved for the New Ediflce on Ell

Plans Approved for the New Ediflce on Elm Street.
 The preliminary steps to the erection of a fine church edifice on Elm street near Orange, have been taken by the members of the First Presbyterian church. The plans of the church and the intention of the people is to have to some extent the features of an in stitutional church, although to how great an extent this feature will be car ried is not yet known. The church when completed will un- doubtedly be one of the most beautiful structures in the city, and with the other fine buildings now being erected will add largely to the beauty of the city.
 The accepted design is pure exam pie of Italian renaissance, a style sus- ceptible of much enrichment and one that can be easily adapted to the many features to be provided for in the pres ent scheme. The exterior will be. of granite from the grade line to the top of first moulded course, and Indiana lime stone above this course to, and in- cluding cornice of arcade. The remain ing ornamentations and cornices will be of cream colored terra cotta. The front and sides will be laid up in buff colored terra cotta pressed brick, regu- lar size.
 The front entrance to the assembly room in the basement will consist of three arcades within which is 8 porch and the columns forming the arcades will be of polished pink granite and the capitals of terra cotta. In the entrance are to be ornamental wrought iron gates. These will add both to the beau- ty and security, of the entrance. ni l Two towers, one on each side of the front of the church, are carried to a height of seventy-nine feet, and crowned with octagonal copper belfries thirty feet in height.
 | The lower floor contains a large as- sembly room, separated by sliding glass partitions, from 8 suite of rooms used as a parlor, dining room and kitchen. Back of these and separated by a hall and stairway will be found a suite of rooms devoted to the work and exclusive use of the ladies of the church.
 The floor above is reached by easy steps in the vestibule in either tower. The main audience room Is T feet by S4 feet with height of Al feet on sides and GA feet in the center of dome. The seating capacity Is TOO and the ar! rangement is of the amphitheater style. Back of the pulpit is large retiring room connecting with chapel and study. about six feet above the level of the platform, while the organ Is placed in g small gallery just above.
 At either side of the pulpit there will be direct access to the chapel, already built. This latter building will be en- larged on one side to provide for a IL brary and reading room. '.
 The roof and ceiling will be supported by iron trusses, giving a clear unbrok- en space in main audience room.
 The large Rose window in the front and those in the rear. the former 15 and the latter feet in diameter, add much to the beauty and light of the interior. Particular attention will be given to the heating and -ventilating systems The lighting will no doubt be accom-. plished by electricity. The finish will be golden oak with light treatment of walls and ceiling The cost of the struc- ture complete will approximate $5o.ooo The architect is F.
