rains, and an effort is now being made
to induce the department of agricul-
ture to send an expert entomologist
to Mississippi to make special study
IF the crawfish and see If some meth

Letters have been addressed to Sen

he promises to take the matter up
with the department Immediately, and
will ask other members of the Missis-

him.
The crawfish, it is stated, also cause
considerable damage in the famous
alfalfa fields of that region, and their
ravages have been growing more Sc
rious every year. This is the best
season to make a special study, as
corn planting will soon be actively in
progress.

mitory and dining hall being erected
at the Mississippi Baptist Orphanage.

age is raising funds to be used in the
erection of much-needed annex, the

Thirty-thfrd streets. The depth Of the
property is 800 feet, and the length of
the building is 7S9 feet. thus allowing
for extra wide sidewalks on both av-
| enues.
In designing the exterior Of the build
ing the architects embodied two ideas

with the unusual condition Of tracks
far below the street surface and In
spite of the absence of the conven-

Of great railway station in general

the building the character of q monu-
mental gateway and entrance to a
great metropolis.
Apart from these two ideas, the plan
Of the station was designed to give the
greatest number of lines of circula-
ton. The structure is really a mOnu-
mental bridge over the tracks, with en-
frances to the streets ON all four sides.
In this respect this building is unique
among the railway stations of the
world, affording the maximum Of en-
trance and exit facilities.
The Seventh avenue facade is COM
posed principally of a Roman Doric
colonnade, double at the carriage en-
frances at the street ends and at the
main central front entrance for pedes-
TRANS, each of the columns being four
feet six inches In diameter and thirty
five feet high. Above the central col
onnade is an entablature to be sur
mounted by a clock with dial seven
feet in diameter. The center Of this
clock is on the axial line of Thirty
second street and sixty-one feet above
the sidewalk.
The main body of the building ap-
proximates in height the bourse of
Paris, reaching seventy-six feet above
the street. With entrances through
each of the two corners of the station
on Seventh avenue there are carriage
drives, each about the width Of a
standard New York city street, 'front.'
ed by double columns and pediments.
The frontage on Thirty-first and Thir-
ty-third streets is similar. The walls
Of the exterior of the carriage drives
are of plaster treatment for dis
lance of 279 feet.
Midway along the sides of the build
ing, signalling the entrances on Thir-
ty-first and Thirty-third streets, are
columns of the same dimensions as
those on the Seventh and Eighth ave-
nue. facades for a distance of 1T feet
Above these there are to be also sculp-
tured groups and large ornamental
clocks. For 116 feet beyond there are

Eighth avenue, with the exception of
forty-fve foot colonnades marking en-
frances to the concourse.
One OF the distinctive features of
this building is the waiting room at
the track level, which extends from
Thirty-first to Thirty third streets, it's
walls parallel to Seventh and Eighth
avenues for a distance Of 314 feet.
The height of this room is $50 feet and
its width 100 feet. The walls of the
waiting room above the main body of
the building contain on each side three
semicircular windows of a radius of
thirty-three feet and sixty-six feet
wide at the base. There is also a
window Of like size at each end of
the waiting room.
The design of the interior of the gen.
eral waiting room was suggested by
the great halls and Dasilicas Of Rome,
such as the baths of Caracalla, Titus
and Diocletian and the basilica of
Constantine.
From start to finish of this mighty
project no expense has been consid-
cred too great for the proper carrying
out of the work. The watchwords
have been solidity, durability, safety,
adequacy. The company has built for
the future, and the undertaking has
never been hampered by any clogging
niggardliness or the least desire to
skimp at single point. Not only New
York and the railroad, but the entire
country, may be congratulated over the
completion Of this mighty task, bene-
ating as it will the thousands from ev-
cry state in the Union who will jour-
ney to New York.
The dream of A. ]. Cassatt, president
OF the Pennsylvania railroad when
the project began and the originator
OF It, has at last been realised. After
his death the work Of building this
immense tunnel system was taken up
by his successor, James McCrea, and
carried to success.

whereabouts OF
PRINCE REULENS.
It is Not Known to Those Who Took
Stock In Proposed Mississippi
River Western Railroad.

Special to The NetoS.
Jackson, Miss. March S.-The Off
GERS of the Mississippi River Western
Railroad Company, proposed line
from Natchez to Meridian, would like
to get some information concerning
the whereabouts of Prince Victor S.
Reulens, of London and Paris" the
alleged representative of a French
banking syndicate with whom nego
tiations were being made to furnish
the necessary capital for the enter
prise.
Reulens has not been heard from
since his marriage to Philadelphia
widow in Meridian several weeks ago,
and, while the presumption is natural
that a nobleman who had just married
a rich widow would go off on honey
moon tour, the officers of the Missis-
reached the conclusion that they have
heard the last of Reulens, insofar as
the railroad enterprise is concerned.
Even an alleged prince on a honey
moon ought to give an occasional
thought to business and answer some
of the anxious letters and frantic tele-
grams sent to his business address.
While Reulens was negotiating with
the officers of the Mississippi River
Western it became a matter of public
knowledge that his titular prefix was
self-acquired. A search of the Altman
&C de Gotha and Tout Paris failed to
reveal the name of Reulens, or any
name remotely resembling it. In ex-
PLANTATION of this he said that the title
was conferred on his grandfather. who
was private secretary to Napoleon III,
and therefore not officially recognized,
but he was a prince, just the same
The promoters of the railroad took
this rather cum grano sails, but they
really didn't care a continental wheth
er Reulens was a prince or peasant
if he could furnish the capital to build
a railroad from Meridian to Natchez
The alleged prince had a very i'm
posing set of credentials, and made
a decidedly favorable impression in
Meridian, Jackson, Hazlehurst, Nat
chez and other Mississippi towns
visited during his tour of the state.
Decidedly democratic manner, smooth
and suave in conversation, he GER
tainly impressed the enthusiastic pro-
moters with an idea to the effect that
his French hackers had money done
up in bales, just like hay, and were
ready and willing to ship it to Ameri
ca by freight just as soon as the nee
essary formalities were complied with.
So far as can be learned, he borrowed
no money on these representations,
but his disappearance seems to be
about as complete as that of the far
famed Charley Ross, and the officers
of the Mississippi River Western are
looking for a new hacker. The city
of Natchez had so much faith in
Prince Reulens, of London and
Paris,' that they voted a $4,000 bond |
issue to be used in purchasing termin-
al facilities for the road. However, |
the voters thoughtfully made provis- |
ion that the money would not be /
made available until the railway was
to that point, and this may
be one explanation of the mysterious |
of Prince Victor S. |
Reulens, of New York and Paris"

George Dali, the original locator of the Venus and Big Thing mines and who has been instrumental in the de- yelopment of the Conrad mining dis trict. now in skagway, states he is confident that considerable develop ment work will be done in the Con- rad and Bennett districts within a short time.
 While in Seattle few weeks ago Mir. Dali met Col. Conrad, who said that he intended to push the work on the Venus and Big Thing mines this summer and that the Venus ex- tension, which was sold to an eastern stock company last summer by Col. Conrad, will also be developed.
 Last summer Mir. Dali located a ledge about two and one-half miles from Watson station and about two miles from the Big Thing mine, but separated from the Big Thing by a big divide. Eight claims have been staked on the ledge and L, A, sarillo, Martin Matkovitch of skagway, and Jack Williams are some of the men interested with Mr. Dali.
 In about six weeks Mir Dali will leave for Watson and spend the sum mer in driving a 1OO-foot tunnel. He says this ledge is very rich and ex- poets it to prove one of the most promising properties in the district,
