The Weather. The Indications for Georgia to-day are for eSoudy weather, with showers: fresh •outbiwesteriy winds becoming northwest erly: and for Eastern Florida, generally fair weather, except showers in northern portion* light variable wind*. The past was a dark week for the ad ministration household. Secretary Long was call ad to the bedside of hit daughter in Colorado, and hts eon fell severely ill; Her rotary Gage was called upon to mourn the death of hia wife, white Mrs. iloKth-' ley's life was despaired of for two days. Dr. M. R. Lcverson of Brooklyn created a breese in the Congress of Tuberculosis in New York the other day. "Medicine 1s a humbug, and doctors are mere empirics when they are not charlatans," he de clared. He further asserted that there was no such thing as an Infectious dts aase. "Smallpox la not infectious, and eartamly tuberculosis Is not," he said. He condemned vaccination, and said the anU cptttlng ordinance* were founded on stu pidity and folly. "Infection," he eatd. "la • modern superstition, kept up by the reg ular physicians, who are always on the lookout far power, place and pelf. The real cause of the spread of tuberculosis I* fear." Naturally the physicians In at tendance were somewtial surprised to hear such assertions from Dr. Le verson, and thay let him understand very plainly that fel* room would be good company.

At the dinner of the American Asiatic Association at Deltn-'nicos in New Tork on last Thursday right our minister to ; China, Mr. Conger, raid that there would soon be a revival of trade and renewed commercial activity in China. This Is good n*ws in this part of the country. There will be great disappointment among Southern cotton manufacturer* and planters if it should prove not to be cor : rect. The trouble in China has done great i injury to the cotton states. Many of | the cotton mills have suspended opera* ■ ttors or are running on short time be ause of • e falling off in the demand for : their prod , t- from China. The de-ilne in the consumption of cotton by South ■ ern cotton milis has no doubt had a tie - pressing effect on the price of ooston. The Boxer outbreak therefore had bad a dam aging influence upon business in the en tire cotton section. As to whether trad* with China will revive soon will depend to a great extent upon the settlement of the question o? indemnity. It is understood that the amount demanded by the Powers is *315.- 999.000. China of course says that she cannot pay any such sura, but that she is willing to try to pay ■ if no interest is demanded and she is permitted to pay it in thirty installments, one Installment each year. S?he points out that eren un der that arrangement H will be necessary to 1- r ,?e :-.e ta- ff tax on imports at the treaty ports. Without greater revenue from Imports she would not have a suffi cient in ome to mee the expenses of car rying on the government after paying the indemnity installment. There are no indications that the Pow ers will accept the non-interest. Install ment plan of paying the Indemnity. It may be months before a settlement is reached. In that event It may be a year or more before China will be able to take as much of the products of the cotton mills of the South as she did before the Boxer uprising. If Mr. Whareon Barker, the Populist a H ilda te for President in the last cam paign, understands the situation in Chin a , the time is coming when that country wi.l not want anything from this or any • other country. It seems he has made a thorough investigation of China’s re ; sources, and believes that she will not only raise all the cotton that she will | need for home consumption, but that she . will manufacture . Indeed he thinks | that she will make cotton goods for for { eigr. markets. He thinks, too, that China j iU. at some time not very far distant. beat the world in manufacturing iron and ! sieel products. He admits that during the ] next few years she will be a market for j steel bridges and all kinds of railway I supplies, but she has an abundance of coal and iron ore. and her labor is plen tiful and cheap. Of course It will be years before China can compete successfully with this coun try in manufacturing or raising cotton, but the time may some when she will be a troublesome rival. With her teeming population, and labor satisfied with a few cents a day, she may be able to make the Christian nations wish they had nev er attempted to force their civilisation upon her. STILL A SILVER MAN. On Wednesday, according to a dispatch In the New York Journal. Mr. Bryan nddreesed a meeting of !•>.(W people at Nevada. Mo. In the course of his speech he said: "I am still a silver man, but Just now there are Issues which over shadow the silver question." He treated with contempt the Idea of the Democratic party being reorganized by the gold-bug element. A little incident which occurred in this city when Mr. Bryan was here as colonel of a Nebraska regiment, during the Span ish-American War. shows that Mr. Bryan is much like thoee Northern philanthro pists who are always insisting upon bet ter treatment for the negro, but who. themselves, refuse to have anything to do with him. Mr. Bryan wonted a souvenir spoon to carry back with him to his home In Lincoln, Neb., and he purchased one at a first-class Jewelry store for C SO. He offered in payment a five-dollar bill, and the change was offered him in silver two silver dollars and a half dollar. He declined to receive the silver, and asked if paper dollars could not be given him instead. He was told that silver was In quite general use In the South, because silver was sent by the government to pay off the cotton pickers, and, besides, other sections of the country, not liking stiver, It waa dumped on the South. Mr. Bryan refused to take silver, saying that he would rvx take the spoon if he could not have paper money In change. The obliging clerk, rather than mis* a sal* to so distinguished a cus tomer, hustled around and got a couple of paper dollars. If the clerk had insisted on gtting Mr. Bryan silver In change the latter, In all probability, would cot have carried away a souvenir apoon from Sa vannah. While Mr. Bryan may be a sli ver man. he prefers silver for other peo ple. and paper money, based on gold, for himself. A TALE OF “THE TALENTS." The Rev. W. Emerson Karns. pastor of the Erworth Methodist Episcopal Church at Jersey Shore. Pa.. Is a man of at least one talent He knows how to work upon the human weaknesses. One of the greatest of these weaknesses, which is to be seen in Wall street and else where. Is the desire to get eemething for nothing. The Rev. Mr. Emerson made a strong play upon this weak point recently. He caused to he advertieed several days in advance that upon a cer tain evening, at the service In his church, be would distribute money, which he had received for that purpose, to every per son who attended. He did not announce in what amounts the money would be distributed, nor did he Intimate that the distribution would have a string tied to It. There was about the whole affair that delightful air of mystery which sur rounds the lottery. The possibilities of getting money without working for It. or giving anything of value In return, appealed Irresistibly to the people of Jersey Shore. T'pon the night Indicated the Rev. Mr. Emerson's church was packed to the doors. The people were there looking for money. They got It. but not os they had expected. Instead of handing out snug sums, the preacher caused to be passed around among the congregation envelopes In each envelope was a copper cent, while on the back of It was printed this leg end! "This la your talent. Don't wrap ( it up in * napkin, but uaa it Your love THE MORNING NEWS: SEN DAY, MAY 19, IDOL I for the success of the cause will be de termined by your efforts. Harness up this talent % and make it pull In others." Then the preacher delivered a sermon on the parable of the man who. about to travel In a far country, called his serv ants to him and delivered unto them va rious talents, giving to one a single tal ent, to another five, and to a third ten. He explained that this method of raising money with which to extinguish the chruch debt had suggested itself to him during prayer. He hoped, therefore, that the persons who had received the “tal ents" or cents would return them in creased ten-fold, or a hundred-fold, or a thousand-fold. The people in the congregation looked at each other sheepishly They recognixed that they had been cleverly caught, but they did not know off-hand whether to regard it as bunco or an inspiration. They had come in the expectation of receiving, and by accepting the envelopes had tacti ly placed themselves under the obligation of* giving. It was generally conceded, however, that the preacher was a shrewd one. IN SOUGHT ADVICE. We feel sure that Charleston will resent the advice of Mr. William E. Curtis, the Chicago Record-Herald correspondent, as much as Rev. Sam Jonas resented the statements Mr. Curtis made concerning him and his wealth. Of course Charles ton's resentment will not be manifested in as vigorous and picturesque language, but K i* probable that it will be shared in by most of her citizens. Mr Curtis says that ’the good people of Charleston have been planning an ex position to be opened on Dec. L hut that to a stranger's eye it looks as if it would not be ready by that due.” Further along in bis article he says: “The best thing the exposition people can do is to postpone the opening for another year." Well, that ia rather cheeky advice, to say the least of it. What does Mr. Cur tis know of Charleston's ability to do things in a hurry when she is so disposed* He says the people of Charleston "have been planning. '* Just as if they were not still planning, the exposition. If Mr. Curtis had inquired he would hare found doubtless that the work on the exposi tion braidings is being pushed along fast enough to Justify the conclusion that they will be reedy in time for the opening. Charleston Is not in the habit of putting off things which she has undertaken. Her exposition will not of course be as big as that at Buffalo, but it will be a credita ble one in every respect, and will, in all probability, be as well worth seeing as that at Buffalo. Mr. Curtis is a very bright man. but the information he pirks up, and the impres sions he gets, In his journeyings through the country, are not sufficiently correct to make his letters valuable or his advice acceptable. PLANNING FOR THE GOVERNOR SHIP. It took* very much as though the pol iticians of the upper part of the state, those fellows who, when there was less fellowship between Upper and Lower Georgia politicians than there Is now, were called Cherokee Indians, are pre paring to capture the gubernatorial, chair j and all of the rest of the state house fur ; nlture. They have been keeping the Hon. F. G. dußignon of this city before the people as their candidate, and. at the same time, praying that something would happen to prevent him from accepting the leading place on the ticket. The movement to set aside Mr. dußignon has been begun. It Is reported from Atlanta that his health will no* permit him to be a candidate for Governor, Asa matter of fact Mr. dußignon, ac cording to reports that can be relied up on. Is steadily Improving. He Is to be seen on the streets every day, and Is attending to the burdensome duties of hi# large 1' practice. As far as the people of Savannah are informed he has not Intimated jhat he will not be a can didate for the gubernatorial nomination. They certainly intend to stand by him as long as he is a candidate. If he should decide not to be a candi date Lower Georgia should push to the front another candidate. There are hun dreds of men in this section who could fill the gubernatorial office with honor to the state and credit to themselves. There Is a man here in Savannah who can get the vote of Southern Georgia If he will but say the word. He is an able lawyer, a good financier and a first-class busi ness man. In addition he is a man of spotless private life. He Is a good speci men of an honest, stalwart South Geor gian. We refer to Mr. Brantly A. Den mark. If Mr. dußignon should for any reason decline to be a candidate let Lower Georgia name Mr. Denmark as Its choice for Governor. Science In the new century is steadily advancing upon lines that must challenge the admiration of the layman as well as the professional. The point has already been reached at which science has been able to announce authoritatively that all hump-backed mosquitoes are harmless, while the malaria-breeding and scatter ing Insect has a Grecian bend. All that ! Is necessary, therefore, to tell whether | your mosquito Is filled with wicked Intent j and fever germ* Is to catch her—for only the female Is harmful—and ascertain if she wears a Grecian bend. That fashion, by the way. Is obsolete, and if the fe male mosquito were up to date she | would know It. It went out with water falls and "Dolly Vardens" some eighteen to twenty year* ago. The gratifying news comes from San Francisco that Mrs McKinley ha* rallied, and haa a fair chance for recovery. The i country will rejoice. Ever since It be ! came known that she was seriously 111, the first thought of the whole people has been concerning her condition. Every bul ; letin from the sick room was eagerly awaited and anxiously scanned: and there was universal sympathy for the sufferer and her devoted husband. It Is sincerely the hope of every American heart that | the gentle lady will recover her health, and live lor years to gladden the home ol her distinguished life-partner. The New York Yacht Club does not own the ocean, or the bays and harbors. Mr. Thomas W. Lawson can, therefore, go out and race his yacht I ndopetidence against passing craft to his heart's con tent. Or he may put up a cup of his own and race his yacht against time and win It without trouble. There are lots of way* In which Mr. Lawson can have fun with hi* boat, without asking , tbs New York Yacht Club any odds. . "What is sillier than gulf?” asks Bish op Mallalieu of Massachusetts. At the meeting of the Srangellcal Alliance In Beaton the other day he proootmded the duery. "U hat is more foolish and s!Hy.“ he continued. 'Than to see a mac take a club and whack a little round ball to see if he can place R in a little hole away out in the field somewhere”' H* thought the game was fitted only for lit tle chKdren. It is safe to say the good Bishop has never played golf, and It may be doubted that he ever played shinny. The Baltimore Sun has Just reached and passed its sixty-fourth anniversary, hearty, vigorous and prosperous. The growth of the paper has been parallel with the growth of the city, until now Baltimore and the Sun stand In the front rank of their class. Each has woo suc cess by deserving it. In its fifty-first year, the Morning News extends congratula tions to its friend and contemporary, and wishes it many happy returns of its birthday anniversary. "Rut s Hill," at Greenwich. Corn., the hill down which Gen. Israel Putnam made his famous hreak-r.ack ride when pursued by the British, was recently threatened with Invasion by a trolley road. The Daughters of the American Revolution bestirred themselves to save the scene of the historic incident, with such success that the trolley line will now run around and avoid the place of Old Put's descent. A bill has been Introduced Into the Pennsylvania Legislature which, accord ing to its framer, is designed to secure "honest djstricta for Congressmen.” Now what is wanted is a plan for providing honest congressmen for the districts.

CURRENT COMMENT. The New York Tribune, discussing the Greene-Gaynors-Carter case, says: "If the contractors who dealt with him are innocent they ought to have no difficulty in proving it and explaining stir the suspicious discoveries of the government. Them long fight to escape trial can hard ly have failed to shake public confidence in their ability successfully to face the accusations. A prompt offer to prove that all their transactions with Carter were honorable, after his frauds had been discovered, would give them a better standing in public esteem than the appeal to dilatory tactics to avoid meeting the charges of complicity In bis wrongdoing But, however such methods may influ ence the popular mind, they are still within the rights of accused men, and Judgment must be suspended till the trial I* concluded. The important thing is to have a full and speedy trial. It would be a travesty of Justice to punish Carter for his crimes and not bring to book bis civilian accomplices, whoever they were. He must hare had some accomplices. He could not have carried out his frauds otherwise. If the accused contractors are innocent, then who are the guilty? That question can only be answered by the trial of the persons against whom suspicion Is now directed." The Louisville Courier-Journal (T>em >, discussing Senator Morgan's position re specting Oba, says: "He concludes that the highest form of liberty will be Cuba's as a member of the American Union, and thnt the bestowal of this liberty would bring such happiness to mnnkind and such honor to our free government as hove not been equa.ed since the establish ment of out republic under the Constitu tion. This admission to statehood should be made, moreover, as In the case of Cal ifornia. without territorial probation. 'lt would b* unwise, unprofitable and wrong to delay that auspicious event when no real advantage could be gained by de lay.” The Washington Times (Demi saya: “There are some discomforts connected with kingship calculated to make one thankful that he was not born in that station of life The new King of Eng land Is an example. On ascending the throne he had to give up all club*, his cronies and hi* favorite amusements and flock all alone by himself.

L Powers' story at the Middle sex Bar Association dinner the lawyer tried the case for the complainant, says the Bos*on Record. She sued a middle aged gentleman for breach oi promise. He married another girl. The Jury re tired, and the defendant also went Ms way. The Jury returned, the defendant did not. The Jury found for the plaintiff to 3SJO damages. The lawyer met the middle-aged gen tleman a few minutes later in the lobby of on adjacent hotel. "Squire " said the latter, “bow did the Jury decide?" "Against you." was the answer. "I didn't think they would do that,” said the middle-aged gentleman musing ly. "What's the damage?” 'That am t so bad!” he exclaimed on being told. "Squire, there's that much difference between the two women!" A Scathing ftebake. Mr. Porktnlard was confused, says the Ohio State Journal. Boston is such a de vious city. A little miss of seven sum mers passed him. and patting her kindly on the head, he queried: “Sissy, please tell me where Beacon street is?" The wee apostle of culture stood aghast at his dreadful audacity. When she had found her voico she said, cuttingly: "How dare you address me by such an appellation as 'Sissy?' I would have you understand, sir, that I am not an infor mation bureau. If you wish to know the whereabouts of Beacon street, pray con sult a city directory or apply to the blue coated menials of the law.” Mr. P>r ken lard looked puxxled as she swept off. ”1 don't believe I kin remember all them direekshuns," he muttered. Mr. Cleveland's Prowess. The hunter who kills a loon in a fair fight is entitled to- as much credit as he who tilts a tiger, grasses a grizzly or halts a Rocky Mountain sheep in mid air, says the New York Press. The last is perhaps the most difficult feat of the sportsman. The Indians think so. On# afternoon in camp in the Adirondack* President Cleveland heard the laugh of a loon on the lake, and taking tip bis gun remarked quietly, "I'll be back in time for dinner.” As he disappeared in the direction of the water the wink was pass ed around. Old hands chuckled, filled their pipes a-fresh and retold familiar yarns with glee. It was awfuHy jolly—Presi dent going to kill a loon! Why, the best native hunters in the North Woods had been after that loon for years! To cut It \ short, Mr. Cleveland got back an hour before dinner with the loon, and didn't seem to think he had dome anything won derful. Reflection* of a Bachelor. From the New York Press. There probably never was a baby who cut his teeth according to Christian Sci ence. You can't always Judge of a family’s Importance in a town by looking at the clothes line. A woman loses her left glove oftner than she does the other because she wears her prettiest rings on that hand. It will probably always be a mystery what Gen. Sherman would have said It was If he had been talking about mar riage instead of war. Nothing tickles a woman so much as to see another woman that she Juet hates wearing anew hat that she tried on her self and knows exactly the price of. There is no marriage In heaven; this ts how the place keeps tip its reputation. The trouble ts that as soon as a woman begins to be intellectual she begins to look like it. Love will make a girl’s heart feel as big as a man’s wisdom tooth the day he decide# to have it pulled. If a man always look his wife's advice probably he would never either have any disease# or Invest any money. If she chose, most any married woman could tell any bachelor she knows anew story that he hasn't heard yet. An Appeal to Yerkee. A London paper says that C. T. Yerkes. the American street railway mag nate, now jn London, recently received the following letter from a young wo man: "Dear Mr. Yerkes: I have seen by the papers how rich you are. and also I have seen your picture, which looks kind. So I thought I would tell yon that my parents are poor and depriving them selves of many comfort® in order to gwe me a good education. Among my school friends there is a gymnastic club, of which I am a member, and all the girls wear silk skirts; and It give* me the hor rors to feel I can't have one. when I hear the fascinating rustle of their pet ticoats. Would you send me 15 to buy one? Yours." etc. Mr. Yerkes received the unique epiotle from his secretary, and. to the latler’a astonishment, ex claimed: "Send her the money . It wt'l give more pleasure than If Invested In any other way." The money was sent, and the acknowledgment was as follows: "Dear Mr. Yerkes: Thanks so much for the money. I Invested It. and can now rustle with the others.” Poor Old Hobby! He came home some rights age a bit tired from a busy dsy's work, and his wife waited until he had got off bis over coat and sat down, says Tit Bits. “Did you get that piece of silk I asked you to bring?" she Inquired, seeing that he had not laid It before her "Yes. dear; I left U out thero In the haP.. ” "Did you get the ptns?” "Yes. dear.” "And the ribbon?” } ■* "Yes.” , ~ “And Bobble's shoes?" —• "Yea” * - * "Ands hearth broom?” • * • "Yes” "And a wick for the kitchen lamp?"

He is one of the tallest Princes in the world, standing 6 feet 3 Inches in his stockings and is of propor tionate bulk and weight. —Adrian Dimnent, of Milwaukee, Is the official death herald of the Hollanders of Milwaukee. ATthougn he is nearly eighty four years old. he manages to call on the 336 Holland families of the city in about a day er.d a half. Wien he makes his rounds the children, seeing him in the distance, inform their parents that “Dim iny is coming." His coming is anxiously awaited, even by the neighbors of these famSiios The announcement, aljtays m the Hot and language, is prefaced by pre senting the compliments of the bereaved family. Then follow the name of the de ceased. age and time and place of funeral. Unless any other information is desired, which is usually the case. Mr. Dimnent continues on his route, with short inter vals at the homes of the families upon whom he calls at H, 12 and 3 o'clock, which are the hour* for luncheon and meals. This custom of announcing deaths among Hollanders was brought over from the old country, where all births ana death* are announced by a man wearing a uniform similar to that of the Carman pall bearers. —A leading insurance Journal says somewhat pathetically that colds cost the life insurance companies a million dol lars a month, says the Saturday Evening Post. What they cost those who catch the cold is. of course, quite beyond civil or reclaim, but the paper goes on to warn the careless who happen to own policies how to be able to keep on paying pre miums a while longer. The gist of the ad vice is to avoid exposure, keep out of drafts and tight a cold from start to fin ish. "The grave is still very hungry,” it adds. "Besides, the life insurance com panies would like to save a million a month." The highest medical authority in Journalism gives the following: "The philosophy of prevention is to preserve the natural and healthy action of the organism as a whole, and of the surface in particular, while habituating the skin to bear severe alterations of temperature by judicious exposure, and natural stimu lation by pure air and clean water, and orderly habits of hygiene and health ” All this is important at this particular season. People are changing clothes, rush ing out upon golf fields, taking long rides on wheels, speeding in automobiles, swinging along in country rambles and eTiming the open air and its breezes, in its way It is well, but overdoing leads to undoing. —The oonchological collection of the Academy of Natural Sciences has Just re ceived important addition from the hands of Mr. Y Hirasei of Kyoto. Japan, says the 'Philadelphia Record. The moi.iskian collection in the museum of the academy is the finest in the world, even outrank ing that of the British Museum. It Is rather interesting, then, to learn that about ®o<> trays have been added, many of which contain species utterly new to the collection. These shells were collect ed by Mr. Hirasei in the waters around the Japanese archipelago, and many of them are found to be entirely new to science. Mr. Hirasei is a native of Japan, of high cultivation and considerable knowledge of natural sAence. as Is evi denced by his sending hie collections where they could be properly compared and named rather than naming them him self. In the collection are to be seen spec imens of living braehiopeds. which ere nearly now extinct, though In ancient ge ological times they were exceedingly nu merous. Attention should also be directed to some rather insignificant, yet very In teresting, animals known as Chitons. These are in reality a sort of mollosk. although their shell is divided into eight segments, and they are capable of roiling themselves up like an armldillo. in fact, they might be termed the "armidillo of the sea.” Mr. Hirasei has discovered a new species of this curious creature, which is to be named for him Onltbehiton Hirasei. —Terence Powderly, the United States Commissioner of Immigration, wants the scope of the Bureau of Emigration en larged to embrace a record of departure of aliens, and he desires legislation pro tiding for the use of such data obtained by the Immigration official* as would pre vent the violation of those laws. Mr. Powderly has recommended already that Congress enact legislation of this char acter. In discussing this subject Mr. Powderly used rather strong language He said: "The naturalization of aliens, which should be one of the most Import ant functions of somebody, now is left to nobody, until the alien himself thinks fit. or some politician, who expects to think end vote for him, believes he should become a citixen. Then the courts are ap pealed to. but no other tribunal has any thing to do or say in the matter." The commissioner believes the difficulty could be removed in a measure by requiring an alien, on his arrival, to say if It is his purpose ultimately to renounce allegiance to his own country and become an Amer ican citizen. If the alien answers in the affirmative, the commissioner say*, it should be made a matter of record. whi"h should be used at the expiration of the five years' residence required before nat uralization papers are given. If. on the other hand, the alien declares it Is not his intention to become naturalized, be should be required to state hia purpose in coming, end this fact should be recorded, ■fin either case." said Mr. Powderly. "the greatest care should be exercised in as certaining his fitness to land." —Fertile as the nineteenth century was in remarkable Inventions of all sorts, the record of the twentieth promises to be even more brilliant, says the New Y'ork Times. This statement cannot be ques tioned by anybody who read the article which we published yesterday about the new passenger cars of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. Therein was it sol emnly stated that among the superiori ties of these cars over all previous cars is one derived from their equipment with a mechanical device whereby the windows can not only be opened—that’s not so very wonderful, since car window* were opened several times in the hundred jeers past—but can be opened easily, by the touch of a finger, as It were, and can be made to stay at any elevation the pas senger desires: We are not accustomed to throw discredit on information sup plied by ourselves, but we frankly con fess that this piece of newa la. on the face of it, incredible and that only long mirtured confidence | n the trustworthi ness of our railroad reporter gave ua the courage to print his amazing tale. If anything had seemed established on a rock foundation it was the belief that even American Ingenuity was Incompe tent to solve the car-window problem, and even the most optimistic of commu ters—commuter*, for instance, who can deceive themselves a* well as others Into the conviction that the town they Ur# In has neither mosquitoes nor malaria—had long ago abandoned the hope tf finding a car window the opening of which would involve anything less than a strained back, the loss of three finger nan*, and a blackened soul. And now we are told— and tell other*—that anew era has dawned: that hereafter, car windows are to be fitted "with special fixture* and so carefully balanced that they can be rais ed by a simple mechanism fixed to the sill." And again—"when this mechanism is pressed lightly''—think of that, "press ed lightly:”—"with the finger, the sash rises and stops at any point desired by the passenger!" Poor old nineteenth cen tury! Where now are her telephones, her phonograph*, her Rontgen ray*, her elec tric telegraph, her pl**-ln-elover. and her fifteen puzzle? All eeffpeed and outdone.
