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 blythe patient once in
wo weeks. - 80

or an ointment; ). both have been-discarC
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. H. Dixon

Jack dull boy" and we do not need to
tell our readers that we have been feeling
particularly dull for the past few weeks;
they have doubtless reached that conclu-
sion from the matter rwehave placed be-
fore them during that time. So at the
approach ofSthe glorious Fourth" we
concluded to stake week OFF, and make
a "fying trip" farther south to get
Whit of salt air and meet several of our
correspondents, the most Of them known
to us only through the medium of the
pen. On the morning of the Fourth we
boarded the excursion train at Blanton,
bound for St. Petersburg and was most
agreeably surprised to meet Mr.. E. D. M.
Perkins and two daughters, of Crown
Point, Orange County, all three of whom
have contributed to this department.
Our acquaintance began years ago
through correspondence and exchange
whilewe were still quite small lad living
among the hills of old Maine. Five years
ago prominent florist in the North sent
us to Florida on a plant hunt, and we
spent four delightful weeks as their guest,
and twice since have we enjoyed the hos
pitality of their home. Together with
Mr.. p. and "the boys" we have hunted
the hammOcks after air-plants, and have
threaded the miasmatic and almost i'm
penetrable jungle along Lake Apopka,
collecting cannas and crinums and pull
ing Pancratiums. The trip toSt Peters
burg was whiled away by conversation
on past experiences, pleasantly recalling
those first happy days of acquaintance
with sunny Florida. Arrived at st. Pc
tersburg wefound the big warehouse near
the dock tastefully decorated with palm
leaves and bright flowers, and the ladies
of the w. c. 7. u, aided by the indispen-
sible sterner sex, dispensing refreshments
to hungry multitude. Herewe were in
PRODUCED to 'Geranium" of this depart
ment, another floral correspondent OF
some years standing whom we had never
before met. We were entertained at her
home for the night and the next morning
enjoyed chat among her floral pets and
a stroll to. beautiful mango grove
where we found the luscious fruit hang
ing from the symmetrical trees. In one
corner OF our hostess yard we found
good sized bush of Hibiscus sub-violaceus
covered with flowers six inches in dame
ter, i-double-though locking as il
perfectly double : and bright crimson,
tinted with velvet. Near bywas a thrifty,
but smaller plant, of the Geigar Apple
sometimes called Tiger Apple and Vel
low Oleander) or Thevetia neriifolia,
covered with it's beautiful yellow bells.
At her old home at Disston-four miles
from ST. Petersburg the enormous
Hibiscus bushes, or trees, she has written
about in this department. They are now
as tall as a house, with diameter some
OF our readers would hardly credit, and
in full bloom present a spectacle impossi-
BILE to describe. With them is also grow
ing large specimen of the Geigar Apple
Another shrub pleased us very much-a
small plant of 'Tabern@montana coron-
aria fl. pl., covered with it's exquisite
double, pearly white and fragrant flow
ers. 1t bears some resemblance to the
Cape Jessamine and should be as univer-

many other interesting plants, some in
the open ground and others growing in
pots and boxes on the piazza.
At the mango orchard we noticed two
magnificent specimens OF Allamanda
Henderson, and Russellia juncea. The
Allamanda was completely loaded with
great, velvety, yellow tubular flowers
three inches Or more across, presenting
a most magnificent spectacle. The
Russellia was an enormous specimen,
OF rather struggling habit,
growing up against the chimney.
consisting of mass Of slender,
rush like stems, covered with very small
leaves and myriads of scarlet, tubular
flowers. 1t is another of those good old
things which fourishes in our sand
through drouth and rain and seems al
ways in bloom.
OF course we took walk along the
beach and observed some interesting and
beautiful plants. Weobserved quantities
OF Crinum Americanum growing and
blooming in the salt marshes, seeming to
be equally as thrifty and beautiful as
those growing in the deep, rich vegetable
mould Of the ApOpka swamps. This beau
tiful member OF the Amaryllis family is
worthy of more universal cultivation. It's
umbel of three to five exquisite, fragrant
white flowers is chaste and beautiful, and
the individual flowers much finer and lar
ger than those of the st. Johns Lily
(Crinum pedunculatum). 1t succeeds on
our high dry soils, and if given liberal
cultivation improves over it's wild state,
blooming at more frequent intervals and
producing more flowers to an umbel.
Here we beheld for the first time the Coo
coloba uvifera, known as the sea grape
and shore grape. This interesting and
beautiful shrub which grows along the
South Florida coast and the West Indies
is best described in the words of Kings
ley: eve have fancied it, and correctly,
to be mere low bushy tree with roundish
leaves. But what q bush with dropping
bOughs arched over and through each
other, shoots already six feet long, leaves
as big as the hand, shining like dark vel
vet, a crimson miG-rib down each, and
tiled over each 'imbricated,' as
the botanists would say, in that fashion
which gives it's peculiar solidity and rich
ness of light and shade to the foliage Of
an old sycamore; and among these noble
leaves, pendant everywhere, long, taper
ing spires of green grapes. This shore
grape, which the West Indians esteem as
we might a bramble, wefound to be, with
out exception, the most beautiful, broad
leaved plant which we had ever SEEN"
We noticed several specimens transplant
ed to the yard of the st. P. hotel We're
putting out finely. Those along theshore
were heavily loaded with clusters of green,
grape-like fruit nearly as large as Soup
pernong grapes. The shrubs have a gen.
eral appearance OF a large fig bush, but
more dense and would be valuable for
planting before objects to be screened,
while the tropical appearing foliage, at
the same time both beautiful and UNIQUE.
makes it highly desirableas an ornamen-
tai object. And it's fruit may prove a
welcome addition to our not too extern
sive list, as we were assured that the

Mr. Call gave notice in the Senate today that
on the 18th of May he would address the Sem

by him as to opening negotiations with Spain
to allow Cuba to establish republic.
ASHAMED OF THE STEAMER MICHIGAN.
Senator Farwell today presented memorial
from the Farragut Naval Association of Chicago
asking Congress to cause the steamer Michigan
on the great lakes to be replaced by a new and
suitable vessel. The memorial says the Michigan
has been in the service fifty years and has become
so completely worn out as to make it yery de-
sirable as a prudential measure that she should
be replaced by new and staunch ship, and
further, that If the foreign visitors to the ex-
position see this antiquated vessel during her
annual cruise throughout the great lakes it will
become a matter of discredit to our govern
ment and excite ridicule from all who are ia
mlliar with superior modern vessels of other
nations"
TO LEGALIzE ACTS OF THE LEGISLATURE OF

including the last one, reserving to future leg
islatures the power to amend or repeal any of
the acts so legaliZed.

BUCKET SHOP TROUBLES.
Representatives Here Of Collapsed
Firms Ask for Time.

There is woe in that part Of washington's
population that is in the habit Of putting up
small margins in the hope of getting
rich very suddenly. The failure Of large
establishments in New York and Pitts
burg, known as bucket shops, last week
has had direct astringent effect upon the
money market here, and this morning the an
nouncement was made by the most Of the local
bucket shop keepers to their customers that
they had no money and could not meet their
obligations at once, but asked for time
1t is safe to say that at least one-half the
''bucket shops" Of the city are running under
shortened sail, while hundreds of people
groaned and moane6 over the possible loss of
their savings. The transactions in this bust
ness here are usually small. but are quite ex-
tensive. and the stringency that prevails will
have widespread effect.
NERVOUS FEELING ALL AROUND.
The trouble, however, does not affect the
larger and more responsible brokers, although
there is a nervous feeling today all along T
street and a number of brokers who do not
really fear any serious trouble have been
little chary about taking much new
business until the market is in a more settled
state. There have not been many actual cases
of closing, although a number of bucket shops
have been obliged to temparize and ask a
The more hopeful dealers on the street
say the trouble will not last long, and doubts
are expressed as to whether there will be much
actual loss On the whole, however, ''panicky"
is the word that would best describe the condi-
ton OF affairs among the smaller local brokers'
offices, generally known as bucket shops How
long 1t will last no one can say with any degree
OF certainty.

customers and are doing business
today as usual. Like a number of
others they paid out all they
had here and when they failed to receive remit
tances today found themselves short. They
have settled with paper at 80, 60 and 80 days
with all their customers and take the paper in
payment on margins. but a rule they prefer
cash business. All their customers are satisfied
their action and there is no further difficulty
expected.

PEACE ON HALF THE EARTH.
The Arbitration Treaty Signed by Rep
resentatives of American Republics.

Representatives Of ten Of the seventeen
nations participating in the international
American conference this morning signed the
agreement drawn up by the conference for
the settlement by arbitration Of differences and
disputes between them.
Among the nations which signed the treaty
were Brazil, Bolivia, Columbia Ecuador,
Guatemala, Salvador and Honduras. The min
listers resident OF these countries gathered
together in Mr. Blaine's Office this morning and
exchanged treaties This arbitration treaty ia
the one which was agreed to in the Pan-Amer-
lean conference and recommended to the vari-
GUS countries represented in the conference.
1t could not be adopted by the representatives
OF these countries in the conference, but was
referred by them to their home governments
which have authorized their ministers to the
United States to meet in Washington and sign
for them. 1t is believed that all of the coun-
tries In the conference will sign eventually.
This Is the browning act in the conference as
this was the principal business for which the
conference was called.
PENS THAT WILL BE PRESERVED.
One OF the extremely interesting features in
connection with the signing of the treaty was
the evident appreciation by the signers Of the
fact that the occasion was one which will be
historically great. Mr.. Mendonca Of Brazil
brought with him gold pen and holder, both
perfectly new and to be used for the first time
when the Brazilian document was made COM
plete. DIR. Cruz of Guatemala and Camaano Of
Ecuador were also similarly provided and the
pens they brought were used on their own
copies of the precious agreement by all the
other ministers plenipotentiary. The treaty
was printed in three languages-English
Spanish and Portuguese-on large sheets of
heavy paper and those who had special pens
sent them, with their documents to their re-
spectve governments
After the signing was over an effort was
photographer so that all the participants
might have their counterfeit presentments pre-
served as well as their autographs, but no
photographer responded and there is no
picture.
