Editor Florida AgriculturiSt:
Being very much interested in BEES would like
to ask a few questions of some of your readers.
l. What is considered the best honey plant in
Florida? 2. What has been your experience with
Italian bees, are they moth proof? 3 Are they
better honey gatherers than our black bees? 4.
How much is considered good crop for one hive
a season? 5. Is comb or extracted honey the
most profitable? J.C.
Liverpool, Fla.
[The above questions were referred to
Prof G. w. Webster, of Lake Helen, who
kindly furnishes us with the following
Ed. F. A.
/. The honey plant par excellence of
Florida is the Black Mangrove. Where it
grows abundantly 800 pounds of honey
per colony is often taken during a single
season. The great freeze of three years
ago did much damage to the Mangrove,
but it is rapidly recovering, and last year
many apiaries gave profitable return of
Mangrove honey. 1t is confined to re-
gions along the coast within reach of salt
water In the interior | am satisfied that
the orange takes precedence as a beefor-
age, yielding good quality of nearly
white honey, and also, during most sea-
sons, yielding abundantly, considering
the time that itremains in blossom, which
is generally several weeks. AS the many
orange groves in the State come into
bearing, the production of orange honey
will increase until we could furnish large
quantities for export, the only trouble
being the difficulty of finding locations
where the bees can find something to work
upon during thebalance of the year when
the orange is not in blossom. Saw Pal
metto and Gallberry in May and June
also yield very good honey. During the
winter spruce and other pine trees furnish
a very fair honey that gives the bees a
start in brood-rearing. These are to be
found nearly everywhere.
g. The bee-moth seldom troubles any
strong colony of bees, but the Italians
defend themselves much more vigorously
than black bees, not only from the moth,
but from robher bees and other enemies.
In nearly every instance where bees are
disturbed by the moth, it is on account
of the colony becoming too weak to de-
fend themselves, such weakness being the
result of the loss of the queen, scarcity OF
honey or some other cause. nsuch cases
the Italians show a great superiority in
. defending their combs.
3. When there is plenty OF honey black
bees seem to do about as well as Italians,
but when honey is scarce Italians gen
orally do much better than the blacks
In this respect have never been able to
see that pure Italians did any better than
those that were only half or three-fourths
italian. Pure Italians are so much more
gentle and more easily handled that
would never keep any other if could get
the pure. This is very hard to do, on ac
count of SO many queens mating with
black drones. Constant vigilance is neces
sary in order to keep out hybrids. Other
important points in favor of Italians are
that the bees stay in the combs when be
ing handled, and the queens are easily

The Murphy Club Knocked Out in

A large gathering assembled at Travis
hall last night to see what the outcome
of the difference of opinion in the Muir
ply club would be. After a number of
testimonials had been given, Mr.. Wool
ley took the floor. and, after speaking
in justification of his course in the past,
said he wished to go on with the work
unhampered by the directions OF any COM
mittee. He could do the work only by
following his own conscience. He had
not intended to bring politics into his
lectures at all. tie did not think he
had. In regard to his preaching too
much Christ he thought that impossi-
BILE; he thought that the only way to
preach anything. He then read the
platform he intended to follow. The
outcome OF the meeting was that Mr..
WOolley will go On with the work at
Travis hall for an unlimited time, and
under such auspices as he saw fit to ap-
point. The Murphy club will go back
to their hall in the future. with the ex-
ceptiOn of those who are upholding Mr..
Woolley. The sense of the meeting
was in favor of Mr.. Woolley.

The market Record some months ago
contained series of articles, day after
day, commenting in very melancholy
strain OH the fact that Minneapolis mill
lers had to pay as much for spring
wheat as did the millers of New York,
without any consideration of freights.
But now the Record has taken turn and
looking at it from the standpoint of the
farmer, rejoices over the money this
high rate has put in their pockets.
Once it was wall because the millerS
had SO much to pay. but now it is dis
covery that the millers have made this
price. 1t has discovered that an average
of 10 cents per bushel has gone into the
pockets of the farmers of the Northwest
through the millerS OF Minneapolis. 1t
says:
Allowing that the crop of Minnesota and
Dakota was 100000 bushels, IL leaves 4O,-
90 ZOO bushels for sale, after taking out
bread and seed for both state and territory.
That wheat has netted producers more than
10 cents bushel extra, through the direct
agency of the Minneapolis market. The
extra 10 cents a bushel on 40,U00.O0O
sum of $1,000. 900. That sum of
more that S40O0,OOO has been paid
to Northwest farmers, in a little more than
four months, as extra prices, above prices
farmers ave got in any other state or coun-
try in the world Indirectly it has gone
through producers hands to the support of ev-
cry class Of business Or occupation. changing
year of threatened calamity, to Minnesota
general industries, to one of exceptional
prosperity.
1t then proceeds to trace the course of
the relative high prices directly to the
mills and through them to G. A. Pills
bury, giving him the credit of saying
three millions to the farmer in persist
ing on paying such a price for wheat
as compelled others to pay the same or
90 without. This is new view of the
move and may be a mild start OF boom

SUBSTANTIALLY THANKED.
The Deeds of the Firemen Year
Ago Well Remembered,

The ladies of the Church of the Re-
deemer gave banquet to the fire de-
partment yesterday in the new edifice
as a mark of their appreciation for the
hard nights work they had about a
year ago in trying to save the old
church from the flames. The tiremen
came in three delegations Of siXty-two
each. The first we're entertained at
IL. the second at 2, and the
last at 6 o'clock. The feast
spread was sumptuous and perfect
in every detail and it was appreciated
as no feast can he by set of men less
robust and hearty that the Minneapolis
firemen. At the last banquet Frank l..
Stetson, chief engineer, spoke in behalf
of the firemen, offering their thanks to
the ladies for their pleasant kindness.
Rev. NJ. ID. Shutter also made few re-
marks becoming the occasion. The
members of Company A, and the ladies
who helped the firemen on the night OF
the fire, were also among the guests eX-
pected. 1t was a pleasant affair and
was all the more enjoyed because the
ladies made of it substantial vote of
thanks to the firemen for noble work.

Actors Fund Benefit $50 Local
Talent at Work,

The Actors fund, of America, is one
of the most praiseworthy of the many
charitable organizations fathered by
the theatrical profession. 1t has been
organized but few years, yet in that
time has done more charitable work
than any other of the charitable insti-
tutions. The first benefit ever given in
the Northwest will take place this
afternoon at the Grand promptly at 2

Mr.. W. j. Florence and company

ira will furnish the music.
Heart Of Hearts," the new comedy
drama by Henry Arthur Jones, was pre-
sented for the first time in this city at
the Grand last night. "Heart of Hearts"
is the latest addition to the repertoire of
Mr. and Mrs. Florence, and has been
played by them this season only. The
play was pl yed for the first time i'll
this country at the Madison Square
theater, New York, where it
made a moderate success, the lack
of spontaneous Endorsement growing
out of the weakness of the comedy as
presented by the comedians of the Madi-
son Square theater. III w. j. Florence'S
hands the ideal of the author is no doubt
reached, for the performance Of "Rob-
bins. the Butler" is a splendid example
of comedy acting. The part sustained
by Mrs. Florence was admirably carried
out, while the company appeared to bet
ter advantage than in any other play
presented during the engagement. The
same bill tonight.
There will be change of bill at the
Pence tonight. The new play is called
"Heart of Midlothian" 1t is taken
from Scott's novel of the same name,
and, of course, is thoroughly Scotch.
The part of David Deans will be taken
by Frederick Book, and Jessaline Rogers
will appear as the Scotch lass. Jeanie
Deans. The play will run the re-
mainder of this week.
The opera Patience" will be rem
dered at the Hennepin Avenue theater,-

club for the benefit of the Homeopathic
hospital. The hospital is badly in debt,
and it is hoped that sufficient money
will be realized from these entertain
ments to pay the Indebtedness. A dia-
m0nd ring has been offered as prize to
the young lady who sells the largest

AGAIN THE AK,
And Sergt. McKernan's Head Goes
Of...Other Investigations.

Of---Other Investigations.
The police commission held another
meeting Yesterday morning, and pro-
ceeded to the pleasant task of investi-
eating charges against members of the
police force. Sergt. Peter McKernan,
who has been on the police force for
some fourteen years, was summarily
dismissed. The charge against him was
the heinous OffenSe of accepting pair
of earrings from a South Minneapolis
peddler, who afterwards accused him
of stealing them. McKernan paid him
for them finally to avoid trouble, and
then the matter was reported to the au-
gust commission. The excuse is that
he violated the rule fOrbidding members
of the police force to accept presents,
but of course some other cause
is at the bottom of the af-
fair. The complaint of Charles
Tyler against Simon McNulty for false
arrest and imprisonment was dismissed,
as it appeared Tyler was subsequently
convicted upon the charge for which he
was arrested and has left the city. The
charge preferred by Capt. Ness az ainst
Lieut.. Swan Walter of causing an arti-
Gle to be published in the Star Dec. 29,
concerning the ROmarc larceny case,
was continued. The investigation
which Capt. Harvey demanded while
ago of his alleged completely with the
Davidson gang of burglars was not Or
dered, and is not likely to be. The pur-
chase OF new patrol wagon for the
