by newsboys. But of this latter number = very
large proportion is supplied regularly to per.
manent residents Of the city living in lodgings,
DC. (not householders), so that its whole circula
ton may be literally said to be in the family
circle. While It's aggregate circulation there
fore gives The STAR a DISTINCTIVE and e,sriabk
position IN modern Journalism, the fullness Of
its home circulation, the extent to which
1t is relied upon by members OF the
household, and particularly by the pur-
chasing portion Of the community, are
the marked characteristics of the paper,
to which NO other daily journal now
published can furnish parallel.
This is no idle boast on the part Of the paper.
1t is a well established fact, demonstrated to
the full satisfaction OF the sagacious and enter
prising business men Of Washington, who seek
and know where 70 find THE LARGEST
RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT
FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the
growth Of TIE Stars advertising patronage.
Nothing can more surely illustrate the
esteem in which any article is held by the
public than q constantly increasing demand
for it-day by day. week by week, month by
month, and year by year,-in the face of ad-
verse claims and pretentious competition. The
figures following tell the story on this point:

newsboys, like agreat many others, live for the

reasonable amount of amusement they are apt

whether they are bright active boys or shift
less, lazy boys they all appreciate the club
house which the society has opened for their
benefit. They find that the rooms warm and
well lighted in winter and cool in summer are
more interesting than the street corners and
the places which are open to newsboys. Some
evenings one of the ladies connected with the
society reads an instructive or entertaining
story which the boys enjoy. At $50 the boys
take their hats and 20 home and the club
house is closed for the night
