WASHINGTON GROVE CAMP. The Week’s Meeting Opened—Remi- niscenses of an Old-time Camp. Correspondence of T! SING STAR. Wasurvoton Grove, August 14 It has been said that ‘the oldfashioned camp meeting is as dead as its founders,” but that there is a live coal of spiritual refreshing and amuch-alive preacher of the good old John ‘Wesley stock, is shown by the appearance here of good Dr. Laney, “the bell-ringer in Zion.” This venerable man of God was the first to arrive at the ministers’ lodge and received a hearty welcome, in return for which he re- lated some exper ences of his youth, when, with father and mother, he helped to pack the commodious carryall and yoke the oxen to be off for the camping grounds. The axes were not forgotten, and th> first work of the men folks, after the clearing, was to hew the poles with which to stretch the tent, while mother and the girls stitched the blankets and home- woven sheets together for the covering. The dining table was supported by stakes driven im the ground. A rousing big fire, with pot- hooks, completed the culinary arrangements, Then came the soul-stirring prayers, the tears @f the penitent and the inspiring songs of “Vietory” and “The Old Ship of Zion.” The memories of them still linger, and the heart of the veteran soldier of the cross warms and his face brightens as he tells of “the good old days.” ‘The usual morning calm of the Grove was agreeably disturbed today by the moving in of the people who come here solely for the re- ligious services. The rumble of the furniture wagon and the merry ring of the hammer on the iron had a familiar and pleasant sound. Another private tent was pitched yesterday on $d avenue, owned and occupied by Mr. John Stone Potomac. Mrs. Stone has with her Miss Nettie Clagett of Georgetown. The fami- live of Mrs. A. Kilgour and Mr. Samuel Polkin- horn moved into their respective cottages yes- terday. The camp meeting was formally opened last evening.

SHOULD WASHINGTONIANS BE FOR WASHINGTGN oR THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD?—ADD THE WEIGHT OF YOUR NAME TO THIS PETI- TION. Sign the petition printed below and send it to Tux Staa at once: A Petition. Mo the Senate and House of Representa. tives in Congress assembled: The undersigned, citizens of the District Of Columbia, earnestly protest against the passage of H.R. bill 8243, known as the Atkinson bill, without substantial amend- ment. In its stead we ask for legislation which shall: FIRST, save life and limb and reduce @n obstruction to trade and travel by re- moving death-trap grade-crossings within the city limits, wherever such removal is practicable, SECOND, enlarge freight facilities by giving the railroad power of condemnation within the city east of 34 street west and south of the present tracks. THIRD, increase the beauty of the capi- tal by removing surface tracks from 6th streetand the mall, either relieving the park entirely of railroad occupation, or sinking and covering from view the dis Jiguring tracks across it, If the station is to be permitied to remain on the park we ask that 6th street be cleared of tracks and that the trackson the mall be hidden from wight and rendered easy and safe to be crossed. And in this event we also ask that the road be required to make ade- quate compensation jor its valuable priv Weges upon the mall by removing grade ssings and decreasing the killing and or mangling of the people on its surface tracks. dn local railroad legislation we ask that consideration shell be given, first, to human life, next to trade, next to the city’s beauty, end only lastly to the proposed legalizing ©f the railroad’s tilegal acts, and the prow posed gratuitous confirmation of its une Guthorized use of public property. (ADDRESS) sae Special Census Agents Appointed. Superintendent Porter has appointed the fol- lowing named to be special agents to collect Statistics of manufactures: Walter Briggs, Schenectady, N.Y.; J. F. Weidman, McGregor, Iowa; A. E. Miller, DeWitt, Iowa. Assistants in Indianapolis, Ind.: Statham Jameson, Jas, Sulgrove, Geo, A. Reisner and John F. Fesler. Assista! im Grand Rapids. Mich.: Chas, Goodrich. Edgar W. Ford, Wm. J. Sproat and Jobu T. Krauskopf. The Census of Chicago. Owing to the discrepancy in the official count Of the city of Chicago as compared with the school census, taken afterward, Mr. Joseph Medill of the Chicago Zritune has written to Mr. Porter, complaining that the government census was inaccurate and inclosing a list of names that he claims were omitted by the enumeratora. Mr. Porter yesterday, in reply to Mr. Medili’s letter, states that even if all the Rames given had been omitted it would amount to but 4-100 of one per cent of the entire pop- ulation. He does not admit, however, that the bames were omitted, but says that if all the errors couid be brought to light it would be found that there were more of addition than of omission.

The conferees on “the Indian appropriation bill yesterday came to an agreement. The House conferees agreed to recommend that that body recede from its disagreement to practically all of the Senate amendments. The Senate conferees agreed to recommend the withdrawal of some small changes of amounts of appropriations, chiefly increases, An amend- ment was reported by the conferees directing the Secretary of the Interior to repair and equip the building knowh as Fort Totten, at Devil's Lake, N.D., for use as an Indian indus- trial boarding school. The number of school buildings provided for, in comphance with the requirements of the act of March 2, 1889, was reduced from $0 to 15. The industrial school at Flandreau, §.D., provided for by the Senate, was retained, but the one at Mandan was aban- doned. ILL-TREATMENT OF RUSSIAN HEBREWS. The House committee on foreign nffairs yes- terday reported to the House a substitute for the resolution introduced some days ago by Representative Baker relative to the ill-treat- ment of Hebrews by the Russian government, The substitute provides “that the President be requested to communicate to the House, if not incompatible with the public interests, any in- formation in his possession concerning the en- forcement of proscriptive edicts against the Jews in Russia recently ordered, as reported in the public press, and whether any American citizens have, because of their religion, been ordered to be expelled from Russia or forbid- den the exercise of the ordinary privileges en- joyed by the inhabitants.” LEASES OF BATH HOUSES AT HOT SPRINGS, Representative Payson (Ill.) yesterday re- ported from the committee on public lands substitute for the bill before the committee to regulate the granting of leases at the Hot Springs, Ark. The accompanying report says there isa necessity for prompt action in the matter, as all the leases of bath houses at Hot Springs have expired or will ina very short time, and the necessities of the situation re- quire new terms, powers and regulations, which e substitute provides. It authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to execute leases of the bath houses and bath house sites for periods not exceeding twenty years at an annual rental of not exceeding $35 per tub for each tub used in any bath house. TOTAL PROHIBITION. Senator Blair yesterday reported favorably from the committee on education and labor @ joint resolution introduced by him proposing an amendment to the Constitution to forever prohibit in the United States the manufacture, importation, exportation, transportation, and sale of all alcoholic liquors used as bey- erages. —— ANOTHER AMERICAN CARDINAL. Archbishop Kendrick of St. Louis Said to be Urged for the Honor. Well authenticated reports have been re- ceived in St, Louis from Boston that the Cath- ole archbishops now in session in that city will, before they adjourn, join in a request to the pope toconfer the title of cardinal upon Archbishop Kendrick of St. Louis on the occa- sion of his semi-centennial jubilee, which is to be celebrated there some time next summer. At this celebration Cardinal Gibbons of Balti- more will probably act as celebrant and Arch- bishop Ryan of Philadelphia preach the ser- mon. There seems to be a general opinion among high church dignitaries that the pope will comply with this request. War-Painted Indians Seize a Camp. A Rat Portage (Ontario) special says: The steamer Thistle belongs to the Reid Fish com- pany, and has just arrived from Buffalo bay, Lake of the Woods, and reports that a band of ndians thirty strong, under Chiefs Pawwawson and Flatmouth, came and cut the nets, stole the contents and forcibly took the provisions of the camp. Thero were only seven whites there, unarmed, and the Indians were fully armed and covered with war paint. The In- dians gave the Baltimore Packing Company five days to get out everything, or there would be trouble. The company has been in the habit of giving the Indians the fish offal, but stopped, and this is the primary cause of the trouble, panaeane ee A Bishop Favors Dancing. From the New York Sun. Speaking of dancing the bishop of Chester recently said that he himself not being a danc- ing man he left it to the archdeacons and the junjor clergy of the diocese. At the same time he did not think it paid in the long run to fight against it. Dancing was natural and was most pleasant. His lordship also took occasion to condemn the iinicky fashion of shaking hands as itis done now, with an awkward sort of touch instead of a'strong and manly grip. Blanche Willis Troward Married. From the Bangor (Me.) Commercial, The many Bangor friends of Miss Blanche Willis Howard, the novelist, will be delighted to hear of her marriage, which occurred a few days ago in Stuttgart, Germany, to Dr, Teufel of that city. The bridegroom is one of the most eminent practitioners in Germany, the court physician and a _man of wealth and lead- ing social position. It was a brilliant match on either side, and the American acquaintances of Miss Howard will extend their warmest con- gratulations. Dr. and Mrs. ‘Teufel will reside iu Stuttgart in the future. They contemplated a wedding trip to the United States, but for some reason abandoned it and will pass their honeymoon in Europe. | Oakey Hall's Libel Suit. The hearing of the libel suit which Oakey Hall is bringing against Prof. Briee for certain statements which appeared in the first edition of the latter's celebrated book, ‘The American Commonwealth,” has been fixed to come off during the September sessions of the London courts. The paragraphs in questions have since been suppressed and did not appear in the second edition of the work. Mayo’s. Potato Cr Crop a Failure. The Dublin Jrish Times says that the Swin- ford board of guardians has passed a resolution stating that the Pens crop in that section will not yield a fourth of the average crop of the past ten years, aud re questing that the govern- meut shall at once undertake extensive public works. ae eco Defending the Kemmler Execution. Before the annual convention of the American society of microscopy last night, at Detroit, Dr. George E. Fell of Buffalo, who was present at the execution of Kemmler, read a paper largely dealing with that event. He defended the utilization of electricity as u means of inflicting the death penalty, and said that in his opinion the death of Kemmier was instantaneous on the application of the current. With regard to the movements of the chest after the current had first been taken off he said that there is plenty of evidence to show that respiration following heart arrest has been kept up in individuals subjected to powerful electric strokes for some time when resuscitation was impossible. so-- A Slight Inaccuracy. From the Detroit Free Press. One of the old lake captains, who set sail for the unknown port this summer, sent word to many of his friends a few days before he died to come and see him, and among his callers was one who said: “Captain, there is one little matter I wanted to speak to you about before you go.” es.” ince you retired from active life eee have ae great deal of time on your han “And you have told a great many stories.” res. “Some of which were not absolutely true, You have had to lie more or less to keep your piace im the ranks.” hat!

In the ninth Georgia dist district democratic con- vention at Gainesville Thomas E. Winn was nominated, The ninth is Mr. Chandler's dis- trict. He declined. Scott Wike was nominated by the demo- crate in the twelfth Illinois district. Jobn A. Buchanan was nominated by the democrats in the ninth Virginia district. J. G. Otis was put up by the people's party of the fourth district of Kansas. Maj. E. Anderson was put up by the demo- crate of the eighth district of Iowa, Judge J. R.

The first Wisconsin district republican con- vention met yesterday at Clinton Junction and effected a permanent organization, after which an adjournment was taken till’ August 27. This carries the convention over after the state convention, The move was made in the interest of Edward Coe of Whitewater, who a candidate for a place on the state ticket. If Coe does not get a place on the vate ticket he will undoubtedly enter the congressional race against Congressman Caswell. At Ottumwa, Iowa, the democratic congres- sional convention of the sixth Iowa district met yesterday and nominated Fred White of Keokuk county for Congress. The union labor convention also met and nominated Perry Engle of Jasper county. Gen. Weaver has been working for a fusion for some time, but failed to bring it about. This is the district formerly represented by Gon. Weaver, but now represented by Hon. John 8 Lacey. Lacey will be Sane and elected, Will Never Shoot Robins Again. An accident occurred at Mt. Holly, N.J., yea- terday afternoon about 4 o'clock, by which a bright young Iad will lose his life. Shortly after dinner Willie, son of Stephen Clevenger, who resides on Monroo street, went out with a shotgun to shoot birds. He first put on acap and then placed a piece of match between the cap and the hammer, after which he loaded in the usual way. No robins being near, he waited forashot. it soon came. The boy reached for the gun and, in turning around, leaned against it. It sloped and the jar caused the gun to go off. The entire contents entered his stomach, glancing upward, making a fearful wound, from which nee cannot recover. Ormond Sold for $70,000. Ormond, once the property of the Duke of Westminster, the champion English race horse of the century, which won the Derby, the St. Leger and the two thousand guineas races in 1886 and was exported to Buenos Ayres last year, bas been purchased by Baron Hirsch for $70,000 and willimmediately return to England. An unsuccessful bid was made for him by the agent of the Hungarian government. “Private” Allen’s War Stories. From the Galveston News. Congressman Allen of Mississippi never tires of telling funny tales about the war. Here are two: A confederate soldier in a certain regi- ment had become noted for running away from every fight. On one occasion his captain found him in line as an unexpected attack opened. Standing behind him, the captain drew his pis- tol and said: “Now, John, up to this time you have run from every fight. You have disgraced yourself on all occasions. Now. if you stir from the er agi eee ee eee EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON line this time I intend to shoot you dead. I shall stand here right behind you and if you start to run I shall certainly kili you.” John heard the captain through, and, draw- ing himself up to an unusual height, rephed: “Watl, captain, you may shoot me if you like, but I'll’ never give any: low-lived, low-down Yankee the privilege of doing it.” At Murfreesborough a confederate soldier was rushing to the rear with all the speed he could command. An officer hailed him and sneeringly inquired why he was running so fast away from the Yankees, The soldier, without stopping. yelled back: “Because I can't fy.” A Badly Drawn Will. From the Syracuse Standard. We have it on the authority of Harper's Weekly that the late Gen, E, W. Leavenworth of this city had it in his mind to found here “an industrial and art school for women.” “Some error in the will,” we are informed, de- feated this purpose. As @ matter of fact, the will of the general was as full of errors ‘as a colander is full of holes. All his philanthrophic intentions fell through them. He Knew Himself, From the Youth's Companion. Ittakes more than a knowledge of arithmo- tic, sometimes, to do a “sum in subtraction.” “Do you know anything about figures, Uncle *Rastus?” said a merchant to an applicant for work. ‘Yes, sah.” “Well, if I were to lend you five dollars and you promised to pay me one dollar a month, how much would you owe me at the expiration of three monthi “Five dollars, be in afraid you don’t know much about fig- ures.” , sah; but I specs I knows all about Uncle “Rasta.” Don’t Carry Your Umbrella So. A recent German paper has the following: “The detestable habit of carrying umbrellas horizontally led to a sad accident in Berlin Wednesday afternoon. A certain Mr. K. was waiting for the street car near the mineral spring, holding his umbrella horizontally under his arm. Bertka W., a dress maker, eighteen years of age, walking along the sidewalk, was just on the point of passing by him, when, turning suddenly, he drove the point of the umbrella into her eye, crushing it instantly. A neighboring doctor rendered the necessary assistance to the unfortunate girl and after- ward she was transported to a hospital.” His Heart Was on the Right Side. Chas, J. Bresnin of Springfield, Ohio, died in Cincinnati Tueeday from heart trouble. He went there to receive medical attention for a remarkable physical peculiarity. His heart was on the right side of his body and its pulsa- tions could be plainly felt. ‘The chango in his Vital organs was due to an accident in early youth, a heavy wagon running over his chest and displacin the heart. He was about twenty-four years of age and connected with some of the wealthiest families in Springfield. A Ship Seventy Days Overdue.

Letters on the body of the man found on a Pennsylvania railroad locomotive at Newark, N.J., show him to have been P. C. Johson of Greenway, Nelson county, Va. Unless claimed shortly the body will be buried by the city au- thorities of Newark. The police of Richmond, Va., were communicated with and telegraphed that the man’s name was Payne Calvin John- son and that he was wanted there for throwing a brick through a window and seriously injur- ing his mother. He is dentist. It is now said that he committed suicide by jumping in front of the train, pth al a ere Panitza’s Children Adopted.

The first annual convention of the National Association of Letter Carriers of the United States began in Boston yesterday. One hun- dred delegates from sixty branches of the or- ganization are present, representing every state and all tho large cities of the country. The meeting was called to order by President W. H.

VEAZEY CHOSEN, The G. A.B. Chovece the Interstate for Commander. In the afternoon session yesterday the G. A. R. convention at Boston chose Col. Wheelock G. Veazey of the interstate commerce commis- sion as commander-in-chief, as predicted in yesterday's Stan. The principal positions went to tho east, it is said, in pursuance of a plan to give the encampment to the west three suc- cessive years—Detroit in '91, Topeka in "92 and Chicago in ‘98. The roll was called and repre- sentatives of each state had an Opportunity to name their choice for commander-in-chief. California presented the claims of Col. Smed- berg, a retired officer of the regular army, who lost’ his leg at the Wilderness, It was claimed that a far western state never had a com- mander-in-chief. Connecticut nominated Col. Wheelock G. Veazey of Vermont. and Maine seconded the nomination. At the mention of Col. Veazey's name there was great enthusiasm. Indiana gave its « apport to Gen, Alvin P. Hovey, and Ohio, with a department of forty- six members, named Gen. Hovey as its choice, Montana supported Smedberg, and Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Idaho and Iowa expreseed a, preference for Col. Veazey. When New York was reached Warner Miller arose and was greeted with prolonged applause. He was obliged to take the platform and said he had been instructed to second the nomination of one whom the delegates honored and loved. Mr. Miller named Col. Veazey as the com- rade who would be supported by the en- tire delegation of New York. Penn- sylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont and Texas in uick succession named Col. Veazey. Utah, Virginia and Alaska wanted Col. Smedberg, and Illinois was the last state to respond for Col. Veazey. Massachusetts would have supported Col. Veazey, but as the delegation was divided in the matter of senior vice commander it was decided to take no part in the selection of # commander-in-chief. As soon as the roll call ended Col. Smedberg ascended the platform and gracefully with- drew his name, Gen. Hovey pursuing a similar course, This action was greeted with great ap- plause, and by a unanimons vote Col. Veazey was declared elected as commander-in-chief, Comrades escorted Col. Veazey to the platform, and there was a good deal of enthusiasm. Col. Veazey accepted the honor in a brief speech. OTHER OFFICERS, Next in order was the selection of a candi- date for senior vice commander-in-chief, and it being considered that the officers, out of courtesy, belonged to Massachusetts, the mat- ter was leftto the delegates from thet state. After along conference the name of Richard F. Tobin was presented as the unanimous choice. The encampment thereupon in- structed the adjutant general to cast one vote for Mr. Tobin, and he accepted the position. For tage vice commander California put for- ward Alonzo Williams, a professor in Brown University, at Providence. Ohio and Indiana voted for Judge Davis Austin of Obio, but as nearly every ofher state desired the election of George P. Creamer of Baltimore the names of Mr, Williams and Judge Austin were with- drawn, and Mr. Creamer was elected by a unanimous vote, There were several candi- dates put in nomination for the offices of sur- geon-in-chief end chaplain-in-chief, and the encampment decided not to take any action until morning. Gen. Alger temporarily surrendered the chair to Hon. Warner Miller, who, in brief re- marks, moved that the next encampment be held at Detroit, the home of Gen, Alger. The motion prevailed by a unanimous vote, and Gen. Alger expressed thanks at the action of the encampment and assured the delegates that they would receive a warm welcome, although it would be a hard task to equal the reception they had received in Boston, The encampment then adjourned until today. BASE BALL. NOTES PROTESTED. A Suit for $2,400 Agal Against the President of the Pittsburg Club. The Meridian National Bank of Indianapolis has entered suit at Pittsburg against W. A. Nimick, president of the Pittsburg Nationa! League Club, to recover $2,406.39 on three promissory notes of $800 each, The notes were made in March and May, 1890, payable to N. E. Young, agent, at the Citizens’ National Bank, Washington. They were signed by the Alle- gheny Base Ball Club, with Nimick as presi- dent, and indorsed by Nimick and Young. Coming into the plaintiff's hands they were allowed to go to protest. President Nimick refused last night to dis. cuss the suit, claiming that it was purely a personal affair, It is learned, however, that the $2,400 was the Vittsburg’s share of the Natioval League assessment, made last spring, when the Indianapolis team was purchased and transferred to New York. The Pittsburg club has had a very poor business scason, the at- tendance rarely exceeding 1,000 and often being lower than 300, so that no funds were available. and the indorsers are looked to to make the notes good, Mr. Nimick is abundantly able to pay the amount, It is intimated that the notes given by other Jeague clubs have not been met, and that suits have been or will be brought in other cities, President Nimick stated last night that Al. G. Pratt, Spalding’s Pitteburg agent, was now a stockholder in the Pittsburg ciub, and it is un- derstood that he is acting for Spalding, whose claim against the club »for goods is about $1,200. REV' OLT. In Possession of Garden Island in Lake of the Woods. The Sioux aud Chippewa Indians, whose reservation borders on Lake of the Woods, Minn., are up in arms and a serious outbreak is expected, A dispatch was received yester- day at St. Paul by E. T. Leclair, manager of the Baltimore Packing Company, from the manager of the company’s fishery at Lake of the Woods announcing an Indian outbreak at that place. ‘The American and Canadian Indians,” the dispatch read, “have by force taken possession of Garden Island in Lake of the Woods, and have given us four days in which to remove everything.

SO RIE EYSINESS — POINTS. THE EVENING STAR is offered to the pubs lic, im good faith and with confidence, as THE BESINLOCAL ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN THE UNITED STATES. In point of fact, it may be truthfully said that it @ without am equal in this respect any where in the world, These averments are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statements printed in the papet on each Monday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the year 1889, published im Tax Sraa on the 18th of January, 1890. Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star has three times the ¢iree- tation of any other paper in Washing= ton! 2 The Star's circulation in Washing- ton is double that of all the other daily Papers published im the city added to- gether!! 3. The Star has a larger and fuller circulation in the city where printed, Proportion to reading and purchases ing population, than any other news- paper in the world!!! 4. The Star has the Iargest regular and permanent home circulation of any two-cent afternoon paper in the United States !11t In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the papery attention is invited to the figures following: DAILY CIRCULATION IW 1885-86-87-88-80. 1SS3. 1886.

Of this number, 21,142 were delivered dally by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub- ecribers. The remaining 6,740 copies represent the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, en@ by newsboys. But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied reguiarly to per manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c. (not householders), so that its whole circula tion may be literally said to be in the fumily Circle. While its aggregate circulation there- fore gives Tue Stan a distinctine and enviable position m modern journalism, the fullness of its home circulation, the extent to which it is relied upon by members of the | household, and particularly by the pur- chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of the paper, to which no other daily journal now published can furnish a parallel. This is no idle boast on the part of the paper. It is a well established fact, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter prising business men of Washington, who seck and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MON PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tux Stan's advertising patronage. Nothing can more surely illustrate the esteem in which «ny article is held by the public than a constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad- verse claims and pretentiouscompetition. The figures following tell the story on this point: NUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEMANTS /RINTED Et 1885-86-87-88-80, 1887. 3.615 3.547 4,669 5,478 5.395 4,522 3,38L 3.170 1889. 4,556 4,529 5.498 3.586 6.033 3,529 But it is not alone in numbers that the great increase of advertising is shown. The larger space required for advertisements during the year 1889 as compared with that occupied im 1888 is even more striking. ‘The average daily space filled by advertise: ‘ments in 1888 was 25.10 columns, or 7779 columns for the year; whereas for the year.1889 the daily average was 29.75 columns, or 9223 columns i the aggregate, being a total gain over the pre vious yearof1444columns! And this, it mast be remembered, consisted exclusively of the in the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returns, ‘@tc,, such as occasionally swell the business of political organs, being included im ite patrom age. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, {fm proportion to the extent and high charactet @f its circulation, Tux Stan's advertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add, finally, that every statement hercia made can be abundantly verified THE CIR CULATION OF THE PAPER 18 SWORN TO, ITS PRESS AND CIRCULATION ROOMS ARB OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND ITS BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED BY ANY ONE HAVING 40 DITEREST Di THELB EXAMINATION 7
