ON the last day of the Fifty- second
Congress there was a stroke of economy
for which the Democratic House is en-
titled to special credit. It was the pass-
age of a joint resolution giving to each
member of the House of Representatives
a clerk, or private secretary at a salary of
$100 a month. This takes effect on and
after April 1, 1893. It means an expen-
diture of $35.800 a month. for clerk hire
or no less than $300,000 during a long
session. And what will these clerks do?

Here ia a Chance for a Paying rvestibane!
At the regular annual meeting of the
Wright Universal Electric. Com pany, held
atthe office of the Company. 26 ‘White
hall 8t., New York, March 18, the follow-
ing board of Directors were elected for
the ensuing year: A, P. Morison, Dr.
Robert Taylor, Thomas F. Ryder, Wm.
Morison, J. J. Terry, W. 8. Taylor, Rob-
ert 8. Morison. :
The Company is about to introduce a
new filament to be used in its electrical
hand lamps for family use. which will
increase the burning time of the lamp
from 5 to 6 hours, making. each lamp
burn 12 hours or more. steadily, with
‘only one filling. The demand for the
Company's electrical goods is steadily in-
creasing, and it will be mxed to its utter-
most to fill all the orders received. -
Owing to the rapidly increasing demand
for the goods made by this company, its
manufacturing facilities must be in:
creased, and the Companv will sell stock
to accomplish’ that end. TaE STAR has
invested in some of its stock and feels
sure of having made a good investment.
Those of our readers who have money to
invest can reap big profits by buying
stock in this company also.
A gentleman who bought $1,200 worth
of stock in the Thompson-Houston Elec-
tric Co., in 1882, sold out his stock about
four years ago for over $70,000, and if he
had held it until this time he would have
received much more for it. Some pariies
who bought stock in the Edison Electric
Co., in its early days, have made profits
of about $3,000 on each share bought.
This company offers just as good an op-
portunity to make money as either of
those. In fact its ‘field is larger than
theirs, for many of its goods are such as
can be used by families everywhere.
