of the points made by the speakers and many OF
the implements for bee culture recommended by
them. There was a large glass box containing a
boneycomb and swarm OF bees. Whether the
bees were actually working or not could not be
ascertained. At any rate it was quite apparent to
all who saw them that they were having great
time about something and making good blum
at working for the benefit OF either themselves or
those who looking on. In and out OF their
cell (or some other bees celD they crawled. while
all the time there was incessant buzzlng that
made some OF the visitors think OF youthful fights
with the creatures There was number Of imple-
ments familiar to those acquainted with bees and
their ways, and to one else. At O'Clock the
meeting was called TO order by f. NJ Hexamer

Union make a slight appropria ton for the same
purpose. Being a branch OF farming, she SAID. that

other departments Of agriculture: Although New

for this Industry. neither State has ever made an
appropriation. She said that her own Wish was TO

Alderman Frederick A. Ware appeared again in
jefferson Market Court yesterday a complainant mt
against several unlicensed flower pedlers Magis
trate Went worth had little tilt with him upon the
question TO who 10 blame for the existing
condition OF affairs The Magistrate insisted that
the remedy. If any, should come from the Council
Chamber and that the Aldermen could settle the
matter more speedily by passing ordinances than
by arres;ng men on the streets.
Alderman Ware said that the Aldermen were
doing all that they possibly could but that these
pedlers refused to take out licenses. Magistrate
Wentworth then said that the would be
rested just frequently whether they had licenses
not Ware replied that this not so. and
that men were not arrested who had licenses.
You do not know what you are talking about
said Magistrate Wentworth. II have seen this
thing from the bench. and can safely say that eight
out Of every ten OF the brought before me have
licenses
Continuing. Magistrate Wentworth said that tire

there was room for flower peders and push-cart

This is all wrong. The Aldermen SHOULD pass

Alderman Ware had four prisoners whom he
