THE NEWSPAPERS
From the Washington Chronicle.

From the Washington Chronicle.
The unostentacious and dignified occupa-
ton by the proprietors and working forces
of The Evening Star of their palatial new
home was an event in the historic progress
of the national capital.
Mr.. Crosby 8. Noyes, the Nestor of jour
nalism here at the capital, whose life has
spanned three quarters of a century. was as
spry as any of the boys who were the
company's guests on the occasion. and he
showed the writer all the singuiariy at
tractive points of interest in the mammoth
structure from the jewel of a spacious COM
posing room at the top and his own DELI
cious editorial den on the seventh floor. to
the wonderfully electric machinery in the
basement. 1t was all splendid
1t would require columns of detail de-
scription to present a picture to the mind
of the reader of the elaborate elegance and
comprehensiveness of the new Star home.
As an implement for use in producing the

can architecture. We heard the American
correspondent of Cologne tGuropeD jour-

been in quite all the greatest newspaper
buildings in Europe, as well as In America,
but L have never seen elsewhere anything
so elaborate and perfect as your Star ed-

The Finest Newspaper Property in
the Country.
From the Colored American.
The Colored American extends the heart
lest congratulations to its distinguished
neighbor. The Evening Star, upon its new
home-the finest newspaper property in the
country The Star is a clean, wholesome
family sheet. and has richly earned its
glowing success by strict adherence to hon
est methods and filling to - the re-
quirements of a modern newspaper. The
Stars impress is wildly seen in a newer
and greater Washington, a healthier public
sentiment, and in a higher conception of
the rights of man. regardless of race. color
or creed. The Star has always rung true
on the negro question. When we have de-
served praise We have gotten 1t from a
prodigal hand. When we have needed a
salutary rebuke 1t has been dealt squarely
but in generous spirit. We cannot remem-
Der a time when the thoughtful negro has
found it necessary to dissent from an edito-
rial utterance of The Star bearing upon any
phase Of American citizenship. To Messrs.
Noyes and Kaufman the people of Wash
ington and the negro race owe an everlast-
ing debt of gratitude
