Justice Gaynor Denounced Rookie
Teller for Hiding Away.
TO ESCAPE FROM GOING into COURT
YOUNG ROCKEFELLER so IN.
cENsED THAT HE WOULD NOT
ATTEND CHURCH.

NEW YORK, March 12.-Supreme
Court Justice William J. Gaynor, of
Brooklyn, speaking on corporate
abuses" at the Peoples Forum in New
Rochelle, scathingly denounced the
man who hides away rather than go
into court to testify.
Although the judge mentioned no
names there were many in the audi
ence who construed the language as
referring to John D. Rockefeller, for
whom many process servers have been
hunting for weeks.
Judge Gaynor, after speaking of the
bribery of legislators and government
officials by the eXploiters of public
franchises and of their contempt and
disrespect for both the government and
the courts, said:
What would a decent man here IN
this community do if he heard an Off
Ger was looking for him to subpoena
him to court to testify? Would he
hide in his house and have his wife
and children and servants lie and say
they did not know where he was?
Would he hurry into some other state
or go aboard his yacht if he had one,
and put to sea to escape service? Or
would he come forward like a decent
man and say: I am here
Dishonest, DishonorabIe.
And if he lied or sneaked away,
would he not be condemned by the corn
munity as dishonest dishonorable and
disrespectable? Would anyone offer
him his hand on his return? And if a
man with an overgrown fortune made
out of the abuse of public franchises
does that, is he a decent member of
society? Is he fit to mingle with hon
est people? No, he is all the more con
temptible and guilty.

The Honey Bee in Hot
House Gardening
How Thrifty German Cucumbers O.
and Makes

The one great mission Of the
honey-bee is qualification; the honey
she may store is to interest us in her
propagation" " ...
Up-to-date horticultrists have
known for years that the presence of
bees among the blossoms means an in
crease in quantity and quality of fruit.
In some sections there has been OBJ
lection raised to bees by fruit-growers
who declared that they were singing
the fruit.
Those who have made a study of
bees know full we'll that the bee has
no implement with which to open a
sound specimen of fruit The hornet

quently bite a grape, a pear, or a
peach; and because honey-bee is
seen slipping the juice that runs,
some fruit-growers have declared
them enemies when the reverse is the
case.
One has but to watch the busy fell
lows as they work from blossom to
blossom, to see that, in pollenizing
fruit, they are the greatest of bene-
factors. Take, for instance, an apple
blossom. We find in it the stamens
with their corresponding anthers.
While it is true that the winds will, in
measure, carry the pollen from the
anthers to the stamens, yet at best it
is imperfectly DONE

quarrel arose between the bee-keep-
ers and the cherry growers, who
claimed the bees were stinging the
fruit, with the result that the bees
We're, shipped away. In few months
the cherry crop began to dwindle, and
almost fail; and when the growers
met together to consider the cause it
was found that, with the sending
away of the bees, the crop had begun
to fail
There happened to be one or two
wise heads in the convention, who
surmised the cause; and as an expert
ment the bees were brought back,
with the result that the crop went
back to it's former proportions, thus
showing the close relation between
bees and fruit.
What is true of fruit-blossoms is
also true Of many others, chief of
which is the cucumber. There are
two distinct kinds of blossoms upon

male; and in order to get the fruit the
pollen must be carried from the male
to the female.

cases two or three feet in length, with
buds just starting.
Heavy steel wire is stretched on
poles, and forms support for the
growing vines that fairly fill the house
as, year after year, they produce sew
eral hundred barrels of cucumbers
and that at a time when the prices
they command are big.
There is, however, a pathetic side
to the case; and that is, the loss of the
bees. After the little fellows fly about

1t doesn't take much of this to put
them out of business, and so we find
hundreds of dead bees on the floor
which could not get to their homes.
This being the, case, Mr.. Becker is
compelled to buy new hives each year
for his houses; but as this is merely a
matter of a few dollars output for a
return of many hundreds of dollars,
the item is looked upon as one of
necessary expense
Thus year after year this shrewd old
German makes the bees help him pro.
duce early cucumbers which, without
their help, would be impossible. It is,
therefore, very evident that all who
grow fruits and certain vegetables

enough in the neighborhood to insure
the proper fertilization of the bios.

FINE CASTLES
PRINCELY PALACES OF THE
NEW QUEEN OF SPAIN. "
After Her Marriage to King Alfonso
She Will Find Herself Mistress Of
Half Dozen Magnificent
Clones"

When in June the English princess,
Ena of Battenberg, becomes the wife
OF King Alfonso and entitled to the
title of queen of Spain, she will find
herself mistress of at least half a
dozen magnificent castles and palaces
in Spain.
First of all there is the splendid
royal palace at Madrid, a great pile
similar to Versailles, built by Philip
V. 1T is a massive building some 500
feet square and it's most striking fea-
ture is magnificent marble staircase.
Some distance outside of the capital
is the ancient palace Of Escurial, ir-
reverently known as the gridiron on
account of its curious shape. It has
rooms and corridors totaling 12O miles
in length. At Aranjeuz there is
brighter and more pleasant dwelling
place, much more often visited by the
Spanish court, while near San Ilde-
fonso is the palace of La Granja.
Then King Alfonso has a delightful
shooting box at Ell Pardo and a beau
tiful seaside home, the Miramar pal
ace, at San Sebastian.
Among the rules which Princess
Ena is likely to find somewhat irk-
some is one requiring that the queen
shall retire at ten o'clock in summer
and half-past eight in the winter.
Should the king wish to visit the
queens apartments after dark he
must wear slippers over his shoes,
have black mantle thrown over his
shoulders and a shield over his arm.
He must also carry lantern and a
long sword and go unaccompanied,
Two guards whose service begins at
II o'clock pass the night in the ante
chamber to the queens room. The
king himself has nocturnal guard.
1t consists Of six gentlemen of the
city of Espinosa. They wear a Gu
rious uniform comprising blue jer-
kin. short braided trousers, silk stock
ings and sort of silver trimmed
opera hat. Each carries fine Toledo
sword. When the king retires to his
room these guards take charge of the
key and give it up to no one until the
next morning, when it is delivered to
the grand master of the palace after
the king has arisen.

the life at court so far as the queen

proposition.
Mr.. J. F. Becker, of Morganville, N
j., found that, if he could get a crop
OF cucumbers grown in lighthouses so
as to get them to market before those
grown out in the field should arrive,
he would be able to command a
splendid price for them. After care
full thought he determined to try the
experiment of placing hive of bees
In each dollhouse to see if they would

strong colonies were brought, and
placed in each end of each house 50

house from one hive-entrance or out

bees do the work requi. I'd, that, with
few exceptions, healthy cucumbers

specimens being a foot long, and as
much as three inches in diameter. Not
only were the cucumbers fine in ap-
pearance, but especially luscious were
they for eating. So thoroughly did
