AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.
The Widow OF Patrick Ross Now Entitled

Assistant Secretary Bussey Of the Interior
Department has overruled the action of Com
missioner Raum in rejecting the claim of Ma
nerva A. Ross, widow of Patrick Ross of Belle
River, ILL.,, for pension. This case has been
pending for twenty-five years and final action
upon it was taken in February last. The
records of the Office show that the soldier
was wounded in 1862 and a pension
was granted him from the date of his discharge.
In February, 1864, he surrendered his pension
and was enrolled o veteran recrqit to serve
three years. On April S, 1864, he went home on
sick furlough and on April he was killed by a
young man Of decided confederate sympathies.
In overruling the action of Commissioner
Raum Gen. Bussey says that accepting that the
soldier was away from his regiment on sick
leave; that he was actually engaged in solicit
ing recruits (as shown by testimony taken in
the case) during such time and as a result
thereof was killed without fault or reasonable
provocation on his part, his death was by rea-
son O course which was due to the service and
his widow is entitled to pension.

THE DENTISTS AND THE CENSUS.
Supt. Porter Explains the Idea of His Bu
roor in ri tn Them

The dentists throughout the country seem to
be afraid that they will be misrepresentedb by the
census office and will be classified as manufact-
urers under the eleventh census. In a resolu-
ton passed recently by a dental society it is
claimed that 'Denistry is a liberal profession
and a branch of the healing art and in no sense
a manufacturing business" On being shown
this Superintendent Porter said:
81 know that just as well they do and so
far as the census Office occupation tables are
concerned, all dentists will be classified as pro-
fessional men," He added that the objections
which are being argued by dentists against in
cluding as manufactures any part of their op-
erations seemed to arise from misapprehen-
sion or misunderstanding of the real object or
intention OF the Office. 1t is not the purpose
OF the Office to include in the tables of manu-
fa tures all operations of the dental profession.
but simply the operations of that branch which
include the manufacture of artificial dentures,
such as plates crowns, caps &c, which are manu-
factured wholly or in part outside of the mouth
and afterward inserted. There can be no doubt
that such features of the profession are clearly
within the limits of the census inquiry relating
to productive industry and as such are under the
law to be included in the tables of manufac-
lures. To omit them would be doing serious
injustice to the industries OF places like Phil
adelphia, Baltimore and other cities where this
Dranch OF manufactures is such an important
element. Not only so, but all this information
was collected for the tenth census without a
single complaint being made. and included
such items as number of establish
ments, capital invested, number of hands
employed, wages paid. materials used
and value of products; II feel sure" added
the superintendent, .'that the dentists of the
country, as soon as they understand the pur-
pose of the Office in this matter, will see that it
is really to their advantage and to the benefit
of their profession to answer the questions on
the schedule sent to them, and in doing SO they
cannot in any way impair the high position
they now hold among the professional men of
this country"

A GEORGIA STATESMAN.
Representative Clements on District Appro-
PriatiOns and the Presidential Outlook.


priatiOns and the Presidential Outlook.
Representative Clements of Georgia is one of
the latest arrivals in the city. Mr.. Clements is
one Of the democratic members in the present
House who will not have hand in the legis-
lation of the Fifty-second Congress. having
been beaten for the nomination by an
alliance candidate. His successor may prove
a good and capable man. but will find il hard
work to live up to the reputation which Mr.
Clements has made here. Mr.. Clements is es-
pecially interested in the District of Columbia,
having been member of the District commit
tee and being at present one of the FIVE mem
bers of the subcommittee of the appropriation
committee in charge of the District appropria-
tiOn bill.
When a STAR reporter met the Georgia
statesman today he was wandering around the
Capitol with copy of the District estimates in
his hand, and a far-away '.those-street-esti-
mates-must-be-cut-down look in his eye.
AS TO DISTRICT ESTIMATES.
"No, have not had a chance as vet to look
over the estimates" he said. .'but work will
commence on the District bill almost at once

been printed concerning the estimates this year
and can therefore give no opinion
whatever about them. The finances of the

committee on the District bill consists of five
members and is now in position to get down
to work as a quorum is in the city or can be
here in very short time, as Mr.. McComas will
probably reach here tonight.
TALK ON THE ELECTION.
"Oh, yes the election was quite a surprise in
some particulars. About forty was what
had figured the democratic majority
in the next House previous to the cleo
ton. The big victory certainly gives
the democratic party every possibility
of electing their president in '92.
The nominee? Oh! the nominee will probably
depend on which of the New York leaders can
carry the New York delegation. although west
ern man might be nominated in spite of all.
do not think the democratic convention will
merely convene to indorse the action OF New
York in the matter and some western man may
carry away the prize from both Cleveland and
Hill.

Everything is exceedingly prosperous in the
south just now. The cotton crop is big and the
south is getting rich fast. No, can't tell what

self is SO radically wrong in principal that it
should never be passed The future prosperity
OF the south, however, is so well assured that it
can't be hurt by any force bill"

the other two and one-half hours later
with the flowers closing. 1t would seem a
pitythat the flowers are so evanescentwere
we not informed that their sweetness is

uncomfortable, did they remain expanded
any considerable length of time. A view
from the "lazy room" in the top of the
tower revealed to us q scene of enchant-

windows are bound to catch it. 1t forms

but magic play house for the little ones.
We called at Mr.. Fenton's, an adjoin-

mems of the Japanese Empress Tree,
aulownia imperialis. 1t is large leav-
ed, rapid growing tree, bearing large
panicles of pretty, fragrant, light duo
flowers. 1t is perfectly hardy, though
the tender shoots were somewhat injured
by the March cold, as were the tender
shoots of the sweet gums and hickories
in our hammocks. AS the sun was sink

sfBanskia is White With Blossoms. !"

On trellised verand a the white rose.
Banskia - is blooming in all her glory
The silvery rain drops and the laughing
sunbeams and evenings vapory fresh
ness all tremendously contribute to her
welfare. The birds of heaven light in her
branches and pour out their SOULS song
in very Joy. Amid the gossamer-like
clouds OF deliciously delicate perfume, be-
meath billowy waves of "blossoming
snow" over which the "Queen OF Night"
caressingly filings q soft, filmy mantle
woven of moon beams mystic bars, like
unto a bridal veil, the lovers troth is
plighted. and the brilliant flower of life
is unfolding it's petals OF roseate hue.
To the new home comes this message:
"Banskia is White With Blossoms" In
stantly, by the magic of memory, home
scenes and home life are reviewed, and
the bright threads OF fancy and the duller
shades of fact, that form the roof of life
are unWOven.
She again sees Banskia yelled in white
blossoms and breathes her perfumed
breath, and there is the "wood god,"
who, "with backgrounds lips touches
her heart to fame" The bridal altar is
hidden beneath a wealth of Banskia
roses and the marriage bell in an embodi-
ment OF purity and beauty, and the we'd
ding feast is artistically arrayed with the
pure, white roses. Yes, the message.
"Banskia is White With Blossoms
touches a responsive chord.
This beautiful, white rose modestly
blooms in the heated conservatory, and
lovingly Grapes the attic window, when
the grim, gaunt wolf of despair crouches
on the hearthstone. Her praises are
sung by the lips of beauty and truth, as
she lovingly nestles ON the BOSOM of
youth and beauty. She who planted

Three round leaves like clover,
Blossoms pink all over,
Blossoms nine of them
At the end OF one long stem,
But of these there's only three,

Then they rest. and thus you see

CATARRH.
Catarrhal Deafness Hay Fever
New Home Treatment.

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, orthat they
are due to the presence of living para
sites in the lining membrane of the nose
and eustachian tubes. Microscopic re-
search, however, has proved this to be
a fact. and the result of this discovery is
that simple remedy has been formula
ted whereby catarrh, catarrhal deafness
and hay fever are permanently cured in
from one to three simple applications
made at home by the patient once in
wO weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not snuf
or an ointment; both have been discard
ed by reputable physicians as injurious.
A pamphlet explaining this new treat
ment is sent on receipt of three cents in
stamps to pay postage by A. Fl. Dixon

On the Wing.-V.

Five o'clock the next morning found us
on the road to Clear Water HarbOr,
seven miles distant, to catch the morn
ing train for Tarpon Springs. We think
there are few, if any, towns i'll South
Florida which can rival Tarpon Springs
from Horticultural point of view. Lying
around the upper end of bayou, an arm
of the nearby Anclote river, it enjoys not
only a beautiful view of the winding
waters but also delightful breezes from
the not distant Gulf. The steep banks OF
the bayou have been beautifed by the
magnificent promenade, the fancy boat
houses, the pagoda over the spring, and
by the planting of q great number OF
Spanish Bayonets and numerous cab
bage palmettOs. Several of theresidents
have planted one, or more, cabbage pal
mettos about their places, but a freer use
Of these grand trees would add much to
the attractiveness of the place. Many of
the yards present q very neat and at
tractive appearance, gay with the cOlOrs
of many flowers. One yard in particular
attracts more than Il passing notice. In
the centre is q low summer house
thatched with palmetto leaves and pre-
senting very rustic appearance. Many
Of the flower beds are bordered with cy-
press "knees," and they are fashioned in
to many an odd cOnceit. Stumps and
gnarled trunks of trees, covered with
various species OF Air-plants, are grouped
about, and over, about and among all
grow wealth of vines and various other
plants. Tarpon Avenue, running from
the head OF the bayou, is lined for a long
distance with good sized Oleanders, and
being in full bloom presented a spectacle
better imagined than described. They
are mostly the common double pink
variety, but there are q few specimens Of
a variety with very dark crimson, double
flowers. In several yards we noticed fine
plants of q single white Oleander, so full
of flowers as to almost totally hide the
foliage. 1t is a beautiful variety and
should be as universally grown as the
Cape Jessamine. The avenue has been
planted with therapid growing Australian
Silk Oak (Grevillea robusta) and in a
very few years will present a charming
aspect. Won Mueller's description Of
this tree is interesting enough for repro
duction here ga beautiful lawn tree,
indigenous to the sub-tropical part of
East Australia, rising to $50 feet, of
rather rapid growth, and resisting
drouth in a remarkable degree; hence one
of the most eligible trees for desert cult
ure. Cultivated trees at Melbourne yield
now an ample supply ofseeds. The wood
is elatic and durable, valued particularly
for slaves of casks, also for furniture.
The richly developed golden-y yellow
trusses of flowers attract honey-sucking
birds and bees through several months
of the year. The seeds are copiously
produced and terminate readily"
