A letter has been received by The Star frem a lady in which she inquires as fol- lows: “Please find inclosed an insect and leaf taken from my sunset rose bush. Can you tell me how to get rid of the pest? I no- tice that some one else was inquiring a few days ago about the same thing. “Truly yours, Mrs. G. F. M., “Old subscriber of The Star.” The leaf and insect were shown to F. H. Chittenden, acting antomologist in charge at the Agricultural Department. He said: “The kaves were probably mutilated by the inclosed insect, which is called the tree cricket, and also of wnat is known es ‘the leaf cutter bee." This is of the same size as the honey bee and of the same ap- pearance. It ciips circular holes out of rose leaves with which to construct its nest. The other holes are due to the work of the tree cricket (orocharis saltator unter). “It is the species formerly known as the oecanthus latipennis, a name given by the late Dr. Riley, chief of the division of anto- mology of the Agricultural Department. 1t is alsv probable that the leaves of the rose bush were damaged by some species ot caterpillars. “To get rid of the insects Paris green should be sprinkled on the leaves by means of a spray. Not much injury Is done to the plant itself by these insects, but, of course. the beauty of the bush is’ de- stroyed. ——____ Half Rates to jo—Account of G. A. R. Encampment.

Cross, a Washington Youth, in Trouble in Cincinnati. Arrested in That,City for Failing to Pay Board Bill—Also Ac- cused of Intrigue. ‘A young man named A. M. Cross, whose mother lives at No. 316 Indiana avenue, in this city, is under arrest in Cincinnati, charged with beating the Burnett House there out of a hotel bill. An officer found him at the Palace Hotel, where, according to a dispatch, he was accompanied for a time by Mrs. Grace Feder, wife of Harry Feder of this city. “The story leading up to his arrest ex- hibits a wild and fast career on the part of the young man, and what seems to be a strange fascinaticn on the part of the woman,” says the dispatch. “Her friends in this city, however, deny that there is any truth in the charge that she has been guilty of anything more than a possible indiscretion. The circumstances that have come to light put beth the par- ties in an unenviable position.” Continuing, the dispatch says: Played the Sport. “Cross came here about a week ago and stopped at the Burnett House, one of the leading hotels of the city. He appeared to be a dead-game sport and went to the races across the river daily. He seemed to have a streak of luck, for he spent his money freely, and was a good patron of the hotel bar, where he bought frequently expensive wines. Finally, after a few days of this pace, he left the Burnett House without the formality of paying his hotel bill, and next turned up at the Palace. “Last Saturday night Cross, accompanied by a woman of good figure and pretty face, entered the hotel, where they registered as A. M. Leadley and wife, Washington, D. C. Subsequent events showed that this woman was not his wife. She was said to be Mrs. Grace Feder of Washington, wife of Harry Feder, said here to be a clerk of the National Hotel of that city. Mrs. Fe- der left the city suddenly Sunday night. It is said the husband, learning of the mat- ter, was preparing to come to Cincinnati, and that Mrs. Feder at once started for home to head him off. “Cross was arrested on charge of obtain- ing food and lodging at the Burnett House under false pretenses. He denied the charge, and said he did not try to jump the hotel bill.. He claimed to have been once employed at Willard’s and the National hotels in Washington. Advixed of Discovery. “Today Cross received a telegram from Washington, addressed to A. M. Leadley, Palace Hotel, and reading: ‘They know an Wait for letter at post office tomorrow, and signed ‘G. F.’ “Cross turned to Mrs. Feder in the hour of her trouble, caused by his own conduct, and telegraphed that he had been arrested, and begged her to send him some money. He is still under arrest.” When the news of the arrest of Cross was received here last night it caused sor- rcw to his mother, who called at police headquarters and asked the officers to as- sist her in the hour of her trouble. She saw Detective Carter, and to him she told the story of her son’s life. He is nineteen years old, she told the officer, and she said ke had been employed at the Arlington Hotel. where he was in charge of the tele- phone, as well as being the general utility man about the office. She said he was fond of the races and of sports in general, and about three weeks ago he went west. The Mother Intervenes. Mrs. Cross was very much surprised to learn of his arrest in Cincinnati, although she said he is not altogether responsible, for his mind has not been clear since he recovered from an attack of typhoid fever. At Ler suggestion, Major Moore sent a tele- gram to the Cincinnati authorities, asking ttat Cross be held until Saturday, when his mother will be there and pay the charges against him. Harry Feder, husband of the woman whose name figures in the affair, is a well- known citizen here. For a number of years he was employed as clerk at the National Hotel, but recently he left there to become bookkeeper for Walter Moreland, the fish dealer. The information contained in last night's dispatch proved a severe shock to him, although he said there was absolutely not a word of truth in it. Mrs. Feder had reached home before the news was receiv- ed, and while she declined to be inter- viewed, she did relate to her husband the story of her western trip. Mrs. Feder’s Story. Three weeks ago she left here to go to Dayton, Ohio, her husband going with her as-far as Alexandria. Mrs. Feder’s sister, Mrs. Bryant, lives in Dayton, and she went to visit her. The same night young Cross, who lives in the Feder house, left here, saying he was going to Marietta, Ohio. Mrs. Feder reached Dayton Monday, and the next day, she told her husband, her brother-in-law, Charles F. Bryant, met young Cross on the street. At the earnest solicitation of Bryant, Cross consented to become his guest. The day after his ar- rival Mrs. Feder says she lost her watch, and she says she learned that it had been pawned by Cross. = A little later on, according to Mrs. Feder's story, she went to Cincinnati to visit Mrs. H. C. Davis, whose husband was formerly a ticket broker in this city, and who lived while here in her (Mrs. Feder’s) house. In Cincinnati she also saw Cross, and met him at the races, where he gave her the pawn- ticket for her watch. On this occasion, she says, she was with Mrs. Davis. Redeems Her Watch. The watch was pawned in Cincinnati for $5.50, and Mr. Feder has redeemed it. So far as the alleged hotel incident is concern- ed, Mrs. Feder makes a most positive de- nial, and it is her belief that Cross had some woman impersonate her, in order to ruin her good name. While Mr. Feder is completely satisfied that his wife has been guilty of no improper conduct, it is said he has gone to Cincinnati to make an investi- gation of the reports in circulation, and as- certain from disinterested parties the facts which he is convinced will prove his wife to have been innocent of wrongdoing. —————— $10 To Niagara Falls and Return $10 via Pennsylvania Rallroad.

When his engagement with the show had closed he was anxious to return home, and natur- ally wanted to take his boy with him. Search was made of the grounds, but Vic- tor was not there. All his father could ascertain was that the boy had goneqway with “Jack,” the “wild west” man of the show. In reporting the case to the police Mr. Livingston said he feared the boy's head had been filled with ‘“‘wild-west” ideas, and that he had concluded to make “Jack” his companion for a western tour. ‘The boy had a small amount of money, probably less than $10, when he went away. The man, “Jack,” has long black hair and sometimes sells salve from a small brown satchel, which he carries with him. Mr. Livingston received word today that the son and his long-haired companion had been seen in Georgetown, and he thought they might possibly have crossed the river last night and started to tramp through Virginia.
