We think We can show to sall inqnir-
ing friends that the Enterprise office
each week prints n greater number OF
papers than ia issued from any other
Office in the Arkansas valley east Of Pue.
BILE. As n means by which business men
can reach the public tho Enterprise has
no equal IN this section. The cause OF
this is the newsy character of the paper,
which attracts new readers every week.

no matter whether their experience was
old or modern in such things.
Former printers in attendance were far
outnumbered by visitors who had at some
time or other hammered away at digging
out reporters copy, and a host of them
were still at the same busy occupation.
To these, therefore, the news room was a
stunning surprise astonished re-
porter put IL. Uttered desks, dislocated
chairs the omnipresent roach visiting i'm
partially II paste pot or a writer's neck
could never have place in such q COM
manding apartment. Then when a closer
inspection showed the remarkable perfec-
ton of the arrangements for handling news
everybody declared there was nothing to
scientious opinion of every one that paid
the Visit last night that The Evening Star
building, for the purposes of publishing a
great afternoon daily. is not equaled by
any other building in the world.
While The Star was entertaining its
guests there were constant groups around
the entrances and windows peering
through to secure glimpses of the beautiful
interior and watching the animated throngs
within On the opposite sides of Penn
sylvania avenue and 11th street were addi-
tional crowds who enjoyed the effective
beauty was heightened by the gleam of
electric effulgence that poured from every
window with effect that was fairy-liks.

A NEW HOME.
Erecting the Building for The Even
Ing Star.

Erecting the Building for The Even
Ing Star.
The necessity for erecting building COM
mensurate with the large and rapidly grow
ing demands of The Evening Star had long
been recognized. and it was also appreci-
ated that the structure must be not only
equal to these needs. but should be as well
in keeping with the great national capital
and credit to its people, whose interests
have been so long and ndissolubly connect
ed with those of The Star.
1t was realized that the future of WASH
irgton was to be notable in an artistic
sense as well as in material progress
and that. therefore, it would be proper to
erect only such a building as would be
harmonious with that future, and an in
spiration to its speedy attainment. Thers
were. therefore. three objects in view: a
proper home for the newspaper; a monu-
rnent to its appreciation of the support it
has received from the people of the Dis
trict Of Columbia and structure
as perfect as possible in the aesthetic
sense. For long time the project thus
contemplated was retarded by inability to
secure real estate in addition to that al
ready owned by The Evening Star sufficient
to become site for such building.
Eventually. however, this obstacle was re-
moved and steps We're at once taken to
