hISTUSlb p&ialiNli MACHINE.
Recorder InStaleS New Peerless Press
and Lets 90 Old GClding.

This week The Recorder Job
Office has installed a new I4X20
Peerless job press. This will en-
able US to. handle our job business
in better shape than for some
time. The new press will meet
our requirements for the present
and our customes will have more
prompt service.
By installing this new machine
an old Golding Jobber goes out,
and therein is called to mind of
almost every printer in Durham
the history of the press while in
this city. 1t was brought here
by d. w. Whitaker from Raleigh
20 odd years ago and has seen
much service and a good deal of
abuse.
When J. A. Robinsfn began
the publication of the Sun, a 5
column newspaper, it was print
ed on this press one page at a
time for several years. D. W.
Whitaker, tie owner, began the
publication of several newspapers
on this machine that have since
been discontinued. when the
present editor of the Recorder
and w. w. Thompson, and a prin-
ter by the name of Gates began
the publication of the Morning
Herald this press was used, and
in fact Messrs. King & Rollins,
the present publishers of The
Herald, used this press until it
was impossible to get out on time,
when it was replaced byacylinder
press, i
Itcameinto our possession near
ly ten years ago, and since that
time has been in constant use
and has been doing good service
until an accident broke a vital
4
part that could not be repaired
without sending it the factory,
which was nor practical. During
that period we have printed near
ly every kind of material from a
letter head to a shingle, and
naturally have a good feeling fer
this make of press. Our hope is
that the new one installed will
prove as good and last as long.

The Aftermath Of the Visit.

We have undertaken to repro
duce all or a part of what each
of the editors who attended the
meeting of the North Carolina
Press Association week before
last has had to say of the oc-
casion and trust that none of
these outgivings has been over
looked. They have without ex-
ception been exceedingly agree
able and we beg to thank the ed
itors in our own behalf and that
Of the people of Charlotte for
the pleasant things they have
written of the city. The OBJ
server people and, we are sure,
all the members of the city press
as well as the citizens at large
had pleasure in the visit of these
gentlemen, and of the ladies ac-
companying them, and look for
ward to their return. They have
certainly been very handsome in
their expressions of appre.
citation and while, as we
said some days ago, we are sure
the city has been the gamer, the
State must profit from a new in
terest in good roads, born Of
what the newspaper men have
written of those of Mecklenburg.
If there had been no other com
pensation the coming of the edi.
tors to Charlotte would have jus.
titled itself in this. Charlotte
Observer.

Lax Building Regulations.

To the Editor of The Star:
The building regulations of the District
are very strict when applied TO private
practice, but this same strictness does
not always Seem to extend to public
buildings. An apartment house three
stories high. containing six suites of
rooms, must have a fireproof floos and
stairs in the entrance hall. but d
public school is allowed to he built
with steps of infiammable ma
terial. Allowing, say, six persons to a
family. the apartment house contains
thirty-six people. while the Takoma
school. the case in mind with about 800
pupils, has steps of wood which are
made more infiammable by the applica-
ton of oil. The second story was added
to this building only about three years
ago and should be of modern construc-
ton.
Another school building from which il
would be very hard to escape in case of
fire is the Berret School at 14th and Q
streets. 1t is three stories high and con-
tains nine class rooms. but has only one
stairway. with halls which are little more
than landings at each floor.

PLAN A NEW BRIDGE.
Engineers to Build Arch Over Tidal
Basin Inlet,

Garter & Clark of this city have con-
tracted with the United States engineers
office to drive series Of test piles across
the inlet that connects the Potomac with
the tidal basin a short distance above the
new Highway bridge. The driving of the
piles is for the purpose of determining the
nature of the bottom at the inlet.
1t is stated that the engineers office is
preparing plans for the construction of a
bridge across the inlet that will make the
recently built driveway through the Po-
tomac Park a continuous one. 1t is now
broken. by the tidal basin inlet and the
new bridge will give Washington drivers a
sweep of beautiful roadway. The new
bridge, it is said, will be similar to the one
built across the outlet of the basin into
the Washington channel. 1t will have tide
gates in the arches so arranged that they
will open and close at certain stages of
the tide SO that the waters of the tidal
basin flowing down the Washington chan
mel will create a current and will flush the
harbor. The building Of the bridge will
put an end to its use as berthing place
by power boats and pleasure craft.

PLANNING FOR EASTER.
Program at the Establishment of S
Kann, Sons & Co.

With the coming of the first warm days
of spring there is disposition manifest
among women shoppers to look ahead
to Easter, and s. kann, Sons & Co.. as
always heretofore, are already planning
to meet this contingency. The dressmak
ers and tailors will be busy shortly, and
it is evident that every woman who is
planning to have a new gown made fol
Easter will run less risk Of disappoint.
ment If she buys the material for it to-
morrow and puts it into the hands Of the
modiste at once.
Four immense yard-goods sales are on
the bulletin-rough pongee silks. one
thousand yards of one shade alone, and
two thousand yards of>other shades. at a
price lower than the same goods could be
purchased for in New York; then there
are a number of other good silk offerings
In the same list.
Beautiful plain Japanese silks at about
half price in a big line of colors is an
other big yard-goods offering by the
Kann stores in the way of wash mate
rails. White dotted swisses and other
white goods will each have their inter
ested readers, for it is time now to buy
dress goods.
Today's readers will all be anxious. il
is inferred, to know what the new Cal
cutta panama cloth is like. Then laces
and embroideries will have to be pur-
chased for the new white dresses and
waists. and chances like tomorrow's fol
saving on these trimmings are not to hf
lightly passed by.
Colored embroidered linon suitings are
something quite new in the way of wash
goods for the mannish style and popular
jumper suits.
White cotton trimming for the white
linen suits will, it is stated. be very popu-
lar this spring and summer, so the notice
in todays paper will have its interested
readers.
With all these yard goods to be made
up into spring dresses and suits somebody
will need to be busy and many dressmak-
ing notions will be required. 1t is to NEE,
these requirements and give the bigges,
sort of values for the money that a big
sale of notions has been arranged. One
hundred notion items or whereabouts are
In the list.
In the way of ready-made articles there
are suits. skirts and princess dresses, all
new, fresh, dainty and charming and just
ready to put on. The whole DILL of fare
