TO ERECT \ NEW BUILDING.
Armour Company to Build McdorH
Plant on Water Street Property
j. That OF the Old Willard Ba:, s..-
Eany'S PLANT.

It was made known yesterday, at
when certain track laying privileges
were asked for, that the Armour Pack
ing Company Will probably very soon
erect 4 modern. handsome packing
plant and storage house in this city,
the constant growth Of their business
here requiring much larger and more
modern quarters than they nov oc-
cupy.
The site of the proposed plant IS Oh
the deslrably located property on
Water street, between Market and
Dock, where the old Willard Bag and
Manufacturing Company's building
stood until it was destroyed by fire
several months ago.
That location, so Mr.. Fenley sail.
was the best that could be secured N
the city and their immediate closing
Of an option on tho property probably
depended on the action Of the bOa-1 as
to allowing a spur track 70 be run into
the property from the dummy Inc
track. The board unanimously grant
ed this petition and there is reason 10
believe that the transfer of the land
will be made shortly.
The Armour people have not Yet
completed their plans for the building,
but it is reported that they intend 70
spend between $15. 900 and s20.00G in
the erection Of a completely up-to-date
plant. that will meet their REQUIRE
mentS for some time TO come
The proposed building will probably
be three stories in height, of brick and
it will mean another large and hand
some structure for that section OF the
city.
The lot is one OF the nOct desirable
on Water street having a wide front
age on that street, and depth Cf
100 feet The track that is 10 be iaEed
will run alongside the building aud
will not interfere with traffic in The
slightest. The cars to be loaded will
be entirely on the property Of The
company.
1t Is probable that after the option
on the property is closed, and the
deeds for its transfer signed, thai nc
time will be lost in perfectng the plans
and starting work On the new building.

An excellent example of a half fitted redingote
has the broad stripes making bias curves IN
front, giving a lovely line over the waist. The
fronts turn hack, making straight revers with
the stripes running up and down. This coat has
a waistcoat of pale green toile embroidered in
silk.
Another redingote has attached skirts put on
TO suggest the waist little high. This is OF
a plain gray cloth, and has wide revers faced
with green and white striped silk. In some cases
the fitted habit replaces the redingote: this gen.

whole idea Of these costumes is that they shall
show little trimming save that provided by the

Paris. March II.

Paris. March Il.
Paris is so cold that warm street gowns are
still necessary, yet the dressmakers are full Of
creations Of quite another genre ready for the
first Of spring sunshine.
AS soon as the new gowns are generally worn
those which have been in vogue during the win
ter viii seem demodes. for there is a decided
change in the silhouette Of the figure. 1t is not
q question of shape Of sleeve or length Of skirt,
but a more subtle one. for il concerns the whole
outline and carriage Of the body. The dropping
shoulders with their soft draperies, from which
emerge the arms; the ample. long, flowing
skirts, the large picturesque hats, set back well
on the head and heavy with dropping trimming
all these present an appearance quite different
from the smart. well-set trigness of a few
months ago.
There is one exception TO this general rule.
and this lies in certain kind Of tailor costume;
for while most gowns grow more ornate, more
charges" tailored gowns become more simple
and more severe as TO line and trimming The
Fedingote model is in excellent form and it may

most cases the jacket additions, which most
afternoon costumes have, are simply a mass OF
