FRON OTHER PENS
EVENING NEWsPAPERS,

The evening newspaper is unmistak-
ably the paper of progress and success.
Its development in point of circulation
and advertising patronage during the
past two decades Is the most striking
fact in all the record Of American jour
nalisnl. The people of this country, in
truth. have awakened to the fact that
in the evening newspaper they find the
type of themselves and their times, and
they have supported and encouraged it
accordingly, until it is now the DOM
mating factor in the newspaper world
of this continent. This truth is well
illustrated by the success Of the Phil
adelphia Evening Bulletin, a paper
which. now in its sixty-first year, has in
late years developed until it has today
a circulation larger than was ever be-
fore attained by Philadelphia daily
journal. So rapidly has it grown that
1t has reached the limit of its old quar-
tiers, and yesterday work was started
upon the construction of a new home
in the heart of the business district OF
the city and planned upon lines of
both architectural attra ctiveness and
practical convenience. The new home
OF the Bulletin will probably be one Of
the handsomest and most complete
newspaper establishments in the Uni
ted States, and will mark a richly de-
served success.-Washing Star.
