l>r. :^IiHer, the President of the North 

 American, has something to say about the 

 place where the convention meets next 

 week. It is found on the next page. Better 

 write in advance for rooms, as the Louisiana 

 Hotel is crowded all the time. Still, they 

 expect to care for all the bee-convention 

 people when they get there. Yet it might 

 save you annoyance to let them know 

 ahead just what kind of a room you want, 

 and what day you will arrive at the Hotel. 

 See Hotel advertisement on page 420. 



ISro. J^'e^viMjin, formerly editor of 

 the American Bee Journal, we regret to 

 learn is again unwell. He has had a hard 

 struggle the past four or five years, having 

 had several attacks of "la grippe," which 

 each succeeding time naturally left him in 

 a worse condition than before. "We believe 

 that nothing would help him so much as a 

 trip to California— the land of luscious 

 fruits and health-giving climate. There is 

 scarcely anything that aids as much toward 

 speedy recovery of health as a complete 

 change of climate and surroundings. It 

 beats swallowing several drug-stores, be- 

 sides being less expensive. Bro. Newman 

 hopes, and expects, to be able to attend the 

 North American convention next week, to 

 again greet his many bee-keeping friends. 



The J^ortli American Convention 

 next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, 

 promises to be a grand affair. In addition 

 to the names published last week, we have 

 received notice that the following will also 

 be present : 



Prof. A. J. Cook, of Michigan. 



N. B. Gaylord, of Minnesota. 



J. L. Welter, of Pennsylvania. 



J. F. Michael, of Ohio. 



Dr. Jesse Oren, Mrs. M. A. P. Oren, Miss 

 Viola Oren, and Mrs. I. Hinskey, of Iowa 



R. C. Aikin, of Colorado. 



Allen Pringle, Superintendent Ontario, 

 Canada, Apiarian Exhibit at World's Pair 



W. C. Frazier, of Iowa. 



Mrs. Oliver Cole and Fred H. Fareo of 

 New York. ^ ' 



Mrs. S. E. Sherman and Miss Pauline H. 

 Grosser, of Texas. 



15i-o. E. ^Vliitcoiiib was again elect- 

 ed President of the Nebraska State Bee- 

 Keepers' Association at its meeting in 

 Lincoln on Sept. 14th. It shows that Ne- 

 braska folks know a good article when they 

 see it, and mean to hold on to it when once 

 they get it in their hands. This is another 

 case of " right man in the right place." 



Xlie I». I^. Tiallon lllfg. Co. has 



sold out to Mr. L. V. Esneault, of Donald- 

 sonville, La., and the business will be con- 

 tinued at that place hereafter. The new 

 proprietor hopes to receive the favors of 

 the former firm's patrons, and will do all 

 in his power to give entire satisfaction. 



Tlie Pi'og-rainine and final announce- 

 ment for the Convention next week, will be 

 found on page 441. It came too late to ap- 

 pear in the front part of this number of the 

 Bee Journal.
