A MODEL NEWSPAPER PLANT.
The Baltimore Sun And It's Handsome New
Up.to-Date Building.

The Suns new building, corner of
running through to German
street, is what might be called, in
every sense of the word, a model news
paper plant We had the pleasure of
going through this building few days
ago and were very much interested in
its completeness.
The building, from the exterior, is
a model of architectural beauty and
is symmetrical throughout. The in
terror is an up-to-date newspaper
plant in every detail. the counting
room is one large marble hall, with
half-circling counters, and n massive
marble stairway leading to tho upper
stories. The first floor is takenup with
the editorial and reportorial depart
ments, in the rear of which ON the
German street end is the library and
EDITORS room. Running down the
center of this long room are two rows
of reporters desks of polished oak,
with typewriter, and over each
hangs an electric globe drop light. on
the side next TO Charles street are the
several editors rooms, with their
designations in the glass-panel doors.
At theBaltimore street end of the room,
to the left, is the telegraph operators
tables, and to the right the telegraph
editor's Office.
on the third floor is the composing,
proof reading and makeup room. On
this floor are twenty-five linotype ma
chimes of the latest pattern, upon which
all the newspaper composition is done.
Every floor and every room is a model
of its own, which would require more
space than we could give TO describe.
In the basement are stored the mas
sive machinery that drives the power
of the whole building, which is one
of the most interesting features of the
plant. -Four large Hos perfecting
presses are used to run off the editions
of the sun two of which are held in
reserve. On this floor is the electric
plant that supplies the entire building
with its light, besides running all the
machinery. One of the most remark
able and surprising thing to the
observer is there is. not a pulley or a
belt to be seen-everythlng is moved
by the touch of the button, and every
piece of machinery has its own
switchboard.
Pneumatic air tubes play a conspic-
uous part in the mechanical work of
the plant. Copy is supplied from the
reporters and editors desks to the
typesetting machines, and the same
from the telegraph operators. The
large ink fountains to the presses are
fed from ink wells by automatic tubes.
The papers are delivered from the
presses folded and counted for the
carriers and the mail department.
There is not detail in this great
newspaper plant lacking to make it
the model newspaper Office of the age,
with every comfort and convenience
for its many employees. May the sun
continue to shine for all in the future
as il has in the past.

any definite action was taken was
that of Oscar Williams, 'colored, whom
Justice Kepplinger, of Baltimore, sem
fenced to serve one year in the Balti-
more City Jail for an ass ault commit
ted on September %, 1906. The pardon
was recommended by Justices White,
Cox and Packard, to HON the case
was referred by the Governor. The
case will be advertised and if no pro-
tests are filed the pardon will be is
sued two weeks from today.
Governor Warfield instructed the
Secretary of State TO notify all bond
ing companies that hereafter no bonds
requiring to be approved by the Tx
ecutive, would be accepted hereafter
unless accompanied by the last quar-
terly statement of the company show
ing its standing and financial condi-
tion.
the only visitors which the Cover
nor had today who came to seek his
good offices in the way of executive
clemency were /. Hohberger, who
keeps a saloon in this city, and who
was convicted of selling liquor on
Sunday and fined 800 at the last term
of the Anne Arundel Court, and his
attorney, A. Theodore Brady. 1t as
claimed that the liquor was taken from
the store against the wishes of Mr..

to clean up. The Governor will ask
States Attorney Green to give his
statement Of the case before he takes
any action.
