THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



33 



tTien of these classes had served them 

 as officers. By the waj', one candidate 

 for re-election, Mr. Geo. E. Hilton, 

 says definitely that he will neither re- 

 Migfn nor refuse office to please any per- 

 son or persons. I admire the position 

 that he has taken. I might add that it 

 is not simply because of all this talk 

 about dealers and editors holding- 

 office that I am declining to again 

 accept the secretaryship; the main 

 reason is that I am overburdened with 

 work. First, there is the Review to 

 look after, which is more than enough 

 for one man, then there is the looking 

 after foul brood; and this year, I have 

 sever il hundred colonies of bees. With 

 so much to look after, something is sure 

 to be neglected,

Chicago-Northwestern. 



The Executive Committee of the Chi- 

 cago-Northwestern Bee-Keepers' Asso- 

 ciation take great pleasure in making 

 the following announcement : 



Through the kindness of friends it is 

 possible to hold the next convention of 

 our Association in the fine hall known 

 as "Brunt Hall," in the Bush Temple 

 of Music, corner of Chicago Avenue 

 and Clark Street, Chicago. This is 

 the same hall where the National As- 

 sociation met last December. Ar- 

 rangrements have been made with the 



restaurant in the basement to serve 

 good meals at ver3' reasonable rates. 

 The Revere House will lodge bee-keep- 

 ers at their usual low rates. This 

 Hotel is at the corner of North Clark 

 and Michigan Streets. 



Dr. C. C. Miller writes: " I don't 

 how much I can do toward making or 

 marring the convention, but, Provi- 

 dence permitting, I'll be there." 



N. E. France says: "So far as I 

 know now. I can come." 



C. P. Dadant writes: "I promise to 

 attend your convention if possible." 



Let us have a full attendance of all 

 the bee people ( ladies and gentlemen) 

 within reach of Chicago. Come and 

 see the great International Live Stock 

 Exposition, and spend part of your 

 time at the bee-keepers' convention. 



The meeting will be as follows : 

 Wednesday, Dec. 5, 10 a. m. to 12 m; 2 

 p. m. to 5:30 p. m. ; and 7 p. m. to 9:30 

 p. m. Thursday, Dec. 6, 9 a. m. to 12 

 m ; and 2 p. m. to 4 p. m. 



Question box all the time. 



Everybody come and make this the 

 biggest and best bee-keepers' conven- 

 tion ever held in Chicago. Reduced 

 rates on all the railroads.

Gleanings is a most excellent jour- 

 nal, but it seems as though the Nov. 1st 

 issue was just packed with good things, 

 and none of them was better than the 

 resume of the Hepburn pure-food bill 



that passed Congre.«s last June. It has 

 been years since tJiere has been any 

 legislatureof so much importance to bee- 

 keepers as is this law. Practically it 

 will do away with the damning and 

 damaging influence of adulteration. I 

 expected to give this a "write-up" for 

 the benefit of my readers, but Mr. 

 Root has done the same thing so well, 

 so much better than I would be able to
