 Nowhere about the building at Park avenue and Forty second street has there been used any structural mater ia1 that can burn. With a. frame of steel and an exterior surface of mar b1e, the station has thousands of tons of masonry in it's walls and floors. About half a million square feet of terra cotta. blocks have gone 1nto the floors, and about S50,O00 square feet are used for column-covering and par titions.
 The branch post office on Lexington avenue, the office buildings, the bower houses and the hotel on the terminal site are hreproofed just as thorough Iy as the station. There is L system of automatic alarms and sprinklers to prevent the spread of any blaze that may start among the contents of the offices.

DIR. CONWELI1, NOTED
 LECTURER, IS AMONG
 | CHAUTAUQUA SPEAKERS

l The small and rocky farms of New
 England have produced leaders in
 every walk of life and, perhaps for
 this reason, it is not unexpected to
 learn that Rev. Dr. Russell H. Con- 1 well, president and founder of Tem-
 pie University, Philadelphia, claims the little Massachusetts town of Wor- | thington as his birthplace. His rec 1 ord has been unique and he is one 1 of those persons of whom it may be rightly said that he is ttself made man. He was born February 15, 1843, on a. small farm known as 'HThe Ba- gle's Nest" on account of dts location In the most sterile and mountainous portion of that section.
 Early in his boyhood he was forced to earn his own living and kept along with the district school classes by studying evenings and earned his way through Wilbraham Academy. In 1880 he entered the law and academic departments of Yale. studying both courses at the same time so as to save time and expense. But he was one of those having his graduation prevented by responding to the call for troops to help preserve the Union.
 After the war he continued his study of law and graduated from that de partrnent Of Albany University. For a time he engaged in newspaper work and circled the globe for several pa pers. He practfced law and 1ectured in Boston for eight years, and then 1882 he accepted a call to the pastor ate of Grace Baptist Church in Phil adelphia, and it soon became the Iarg- est Protestant church in America A temple was built in 1891 which com fortab1y seats 5000 and has a, capacity of 4,2O0. For the past 10 years the demand for admtttance has been so great that admission is by ticket only and thousands are turned away.
 For 49 years he has been in the Iec- ture field and is called the most sought after man on the lecture plat form today. In this country and abroad he has given over 5000 Iec- lures. He was an intimate friend and associated with Cough, Beecher, Holmes, Longfel1oW, Motley, Emerson, Everett Whittier, Wendell Phillips, Douglass, Grant, Garfield and other of Americas great men and is one of the last Of the stars who made the lecture platform brilliant in the days of Cough. Beecher and the others.

LET WOMEN SMOKE,
 SAYS BISHOP OF RlPON

Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 29-The Rev. William Boyd Carpenter, Bishop of Be1don Noble lecturers. favors smoking by women if they like to do SO
 'If the men find it a pleasure to smoke why should that pleasure be relegated to the men and not to the women?'' said the British divine.
 There are women in England who are well thought of who smoke There are many colors in the rainbow, so there are many tastes in people today. What may be a pleasure to the men may be given to >the women. Mind you, I am not discussing this from the moral point of view, but solely from it's being a pleasure.''
