ADDRESS

REPUBLIC PUBLISHING COMPANY,

WASHINGTON, D. C.

At the Centennial grounds in Philadelphia a building has been constructed to be used solely for an exhibition of newspapers. It occupies a conspicuous position near the miniature lake, on a line between the United States Government Building and Machinery Hall.

The plan of exhibition is an alphabetical arrangement of partial files of each newspaper or periodical in such a manner as makes them instantly accessible; the space devoted to each bearing a label with the name of the publication printed thereon, and further designated by a number, by means of which a stranger upon reference to his catalogue is able at once to approach the section of the building where the particular journal which he desires to examine or refer to may be found.

The cases containing these files form alcoves similar to those in public libraries for the arrangement of books; these alcoves forming long tiers, one on each side of the building throughout its entire length, a portion of the space between being reserved for the accommodation of attendants, leaving a passage way for the public eighteen feet in width, extending from one end of the structure to the other.

The second story, approached by four flights of stairs, is devoted to reading-rooms for the accommodation more especially of newspaper men, and supplied with conveniences for correspondents.

A catalogue giving the name of each newspaper, its frequency of issue, and the number which designates the position allotted to it, together with such statistical information as will serve to convey a comprehensive knowledge of the nature and extent of the business of newspaper publishing in America, is issued in a compact form, not differing very much in size and appearance from the Official Catalogues of the four departments of the principal exhibition.

Mr. George P. Rowell, of New York, assumes the management and control of the enterprise.

The building is of timber, and very neat. It has a length of 67 feet, with a width of 46 feet, and a total height of 33 feet.
