Thirty-third streets. The depth Of tie
property is 500 feet, and the length Of
the building is 7S9 feet. thus allowing
for extra wide sidewalks on both ay-
enues.
In designing the exterior of the build
ing the architects embodied two IDEAS
to express, so far as was practicable
with the unusual condition Of tracks
far below the street surface and in
spite of the absence of the conyen-
tional train shed, the exterior design
of a great railway station in a general
ly accepted form and also to give to
the building the character Of a 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 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, afforGing 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 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 APP
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
drives, each about the width of a
standard New York city street, front
ed by double columns and pediments.
The frontage on Thirty-frst 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-frst 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-
clocks. For 11G feet beyond there are
interrupted colonnades, after which
the walls are of plaster treatment to

PARKER'S CANTALOUPE
FARM IS SOLD
A Fort Valley Man Buys 1t
for $4,000

A farm sale was made this week
that signally demonstrated the rise
in Sumter county lands in the past
few years, especially when they have
undergone any development and been
on the line Of an improved highway.
In this instance Arthur & West
hrool were the real estate agents han
ding the property in question. 1t was
the we'll known cantaloupe farm Of
250 acres, half a mile from Bagley
station on the old Macon stage road
This farm was sold to Mr.. R. H. Harris
ley, Of Fort Valley, for 100000
About four years ago Mr. Parker
bought the property for $4,000. He
improved it and brought it up to 4
higher state of cultivation. The re-
sulting profits were in a measure due
to this, but in a large degree arose
from the general advance in values
in this vicinity.
The new owner will take charge Of
the farm and make it his home, it is
understood

New York, March 3.-There is peace,
sweet peace, of mind in store for the
woman who has been living in dread
of spring and summer fashions, be-
cause of the freakishness of certain
winter models. No longer will be it
necessary for one to look as if She
were qualifying for a sack race in Or
der to be in the hight OF fashion.
In the new seasons modes the hight
ened waisJline is observed and skirJs
are not too full by any means, but the
approved lines are those of which con-
sentative women may also approve and
select with unresrained pleasure. The
season is rich in novelties, none more
conspicuous just now than the frOck Of
suisse or organdy or muslin, delicatel5
figured or dotted, trimmed with per-
ishabIe bands OF silk and satin. These
are cheaper than the hand-embroiderai
silk chiffons, mousselines and like fab
RIGS which inspired frocks in less ex-
pensiye materials, but they are enough
to break the heart and purse Of any
woman who attempts to have many Of
them unless the purse is ample
Black and white effects are loyelier
than eyer-a tribute to the ineYhausc-
ible genius of French and American
designers. Note for example, a frock
of dotted suisse 1t is mounted over
soft silk and made in one piece, the
waist being decided Empire effect
and the skirt hung from it in as low
gauging as possible. Outlining the
back and front of the V-shaped yoke
of lace is deep band of batiste inser-
ton, and this extends down the front
of the skirt on either side of a straight
band of black satin, continuing at the
sides and back as a heading for deep
founce of white guaze appliqued with
cut-outs of black satin. The short
outer sleeves are cut in one with the
bodice, and there are under-sIeves Of
batiste
A splendid black and white stray
trimmed with ostrich plumes shading
from robins egg blue to delicate rose
completes the toilette The combina-
lion is one that perhaps does not sound
well, but it is a triumph of the color
lists art.
The frankly Empire and Directoire
lines are rapidly invading the realm
of street frocks. They have been such
a success at the resorts that they are
sure to appear again at the Northern
summering places a little later. Let

COMSTOCK RAIDS
Wax women
Window Figures to Be Hid
den as Naughty

New York, March 3.-Several hand
some women have been on exhibition
fer some time in show windows on
Broadway, between Fourth and Eighth
streets. All of them had good figures
and posed in various advertisements.
But they all had extremely red
cheeks and a bold, fixed stare. In fact
it was said, if passer-by come with
in their range of vision they never
took their eyes off him, and their
raiment was such that in an emery
ency any one of them might have taken
off Salome without taking off anything
else.
So some persons complained to An
thOny Comstock Of the Society for the
Suppression of Vice, Mr.. Comstock yes
terday went to the manufacturers,
whose show windows the women ad-
ornea, and ordered the women out Of
the windows.
Mr.. Comstock told the manufacture
crs they would be liable to be arrested
and tried and, if convicted, to fine and
Imprisonment, if they permitted the
women to reappear in public. The
manufacturers promptly agreed tC
keep the women under cover.
The women, thus solemnly raidat
and convicted of impropriety were
made Of wax.
Nj. Comstock, at his home in Sum.
nit, y. j., was asked over the phone
if he had raided the wax ladies.
Well, what of ito" asked Mr.. Com.
stock bluntly.
The world would like to learn al
the particulars:

about the figures reached me- The ex
hibition was harmful to good morals
the figures were very Objectionable.

BUYING LANDS IN LESS
FORWARD COUNTIES
CarOIiNianS Securing Tracts
Through Americas Agents

South Carolinians coming this way,
who are delighted with Sumter county.
but find that land values are higher
than they anticipated, are in some in
stances going further south into coun-
ties not so highly developed as this
and buying lands there either for spe
uIative investments or for the purpose
of settling upon them.
Such was the case with Mr. J. 3.
Westbrook, of Chester who came here
some time ago and was shown over
the county by Mr.. Lee Allen. He was
profuse in his expressions of salts
faction with Americas and the coun>
try round about it, but felt that III
view of the great advances in the
values of lands recently he might do
better in a county that had no. made
the progress that this has, depending
on its development in the near future
for profits.
Accordingly he went down to Cal
houn county with Mr. Allen and there
purchased $50 acres near Leary, part
of the P. f. Boyd estate, paying $3.50
an acre for it.
Other Carolinians have also bought
lands in the counties to the south u
us" said Mr. Allen yesterday, in dis
cussing this phase of the situation,
and l have several now considering
Investments there They recognize the
superior conditions that prevail in
Sumter, but as they are buying for a
future rise they feel that in the newer
| sections, where development is just
beginning, or is not as far advanced
as here, their profits will be quicker.
/ But without an exception they are
carried away by what Sumter offers
TO the home-maker and carry back
such reports to their home comnuni-
ties that We almost inevitably hear

this building is the waiting room at
the track level, which extends from
Thirty-tfrst to Thirty third streets. its
walls parallel to Seventh and Eighth
avenues for a distance of 3l4 feet
The height of this room is $50 feet and
it's width 100 feet. The walls of the

the building contain on each side three
semicircular windows of a radius of
thirty-three feet and siXty-siX feet

window of like size at each end of

The design of the interior of tie gen

and Diocletian and the basilica of
Constantine.
