Xlie IVortli Ainorican CoiiTeiitioii 



for 1894 is now a matter of history. We 

 were at the meeting in St. Joseph, Mo., 

 last week, and had a most enjoyable and 

 profitable time. President Abbott outdid 

 himself several times over. The next meet- 

 ing will be held in Toronto, Ont., Canada, 

 and the new officers elected for 189.5 are as 

 follows : 



President — R. F. Holtermann, of Brant- 

 ford, Ont., editor of the Canadian Bee Jour - 

 tial. 



Vice-President— L. D. Stilson, of York, 

 Nebr., editor of the Xebraska Bee-Keeper. 



Secretary — W. Z. Hutchinson, of Flint, 

 Mich., editor of the Bee-Keepers^ Review. 



Treasurer— John T. Calvert, of Medina, 

 O., Business Manager of Oleanittffs in Bee- 

 Culture. 



At this time (Oct. 13th) we have just 

 arrived at our office, and there is not time 

 to give any of the particulars concerning 

 the meeting. Next week we will tell you 

 all something about it, and likely begin the 

 report of the proceedings, which were 

 voted to be published in full in the Bee 

 Journal. 



Bro. Oeo. \¥. Bvodbeck, of Los 



Angeles, is one of California's progressive 



bee-keepers. In a very cordial letter re- 

 ceived last week, he says that since his 

 return from Arrowhead Springs, he has 

 disposed of his Arrowhead Apiary, and is 

 at work now building up another, using a 

 shallow, self-spacing frame, with the object 

 of running exclusively for comb honey, 

 securing the early spring flow there in the 

 valley, after which he intends moving them 

 to the mountains in time for the sage 

 honey. The shallow frame is a novelty, 

 and as yet an experiment in California, 

 but Bro. B. is disposed to test it, and if his 

 health permits, he will also carry out the 

 migratory project as well. We wish him 

 every success in his undertakings. 



Prof. I'^rank R. Cliesliire, we 



regret very much to learn, died in England 

 on Sept. 16th, while undergoing an opera- 

 tion for a painful internal malady, from 

 which he suffered for some time. Particu- 

 lars are promised later. Prof. Cheshire's 

 investigation of foul brood, with the pub- 

 lished results, together with his magnificent 

 two volumes on "Bees and Bee-Keeping," 

 made him a prominent figure in apiculture 

 throughout the world. All will revere his 

 name. We learn of his death through the 

 BriiisJi Bee Journal. 



Mr. W. M. Barniim, of Denver, 

 Colo., was married recently. We have not 

 learned the particulars. Bro. B. is one of 

 the number who have long been answering 

 questions in our department of " Queries 

 and Replies." All our readers will unite 

 with us in extending to the happy couple 

 heartiest congratulations and sincerest 

 wishes for a long and happy life together.
