LOCAL DEMOCRATS. Another Branch of the Iroquois Organ- ized—Applicants for Office of Market Inspector. A branch Iroquois club was organized last evening in the Thirty-seventh Dis- trict at Mowry’s Hall, corner of Grove and Laguna streets. Fifty or more Democrats assembled under the auspices of Max Popper and listened to speeches from Orators Joseph Nougues, Martin Hughes, John Foley and ex-State Senator Meade, formerly of Sierra, but now of the United The temporary officers elected were: John Foley, chairman, and F. E. Farmer, secretary 3 Next Monday evening a club will be organized at Powers' Hall, in the Thirty- y District. The Democrats of the rank and file that assemble every night at the Baldwin ex- ss their sentiments regarding recent §{mrd of Health appointments in a man- ner quite refreshing. They claim that the combination has sought out men for pre- | ferment who never signed a Democratic club-roll. There is talk now that Dr. Dudley, a nephew of Harbor Commissioner Colnon, ison the slate for resident physician at | the City and County Hospital. Powers of the Thirty-eighth District, at whose hall an Iroquois club is to be organ- ized_next Monday evening, is a vigorous | candidate for Market Inspector and points to a record of thirty years’ active work in San Francisco to promote the success of | the Democratic party. Ex-Supervisor John Foley, who was chairman of the Iroquois club organized last evening, is a Gandidite aliofor MaFiet Inspector. He can point likewise to thirty years’ service in the party. A Chinese Wife Adopts the Caucasian Custom and Gets a Divorce. One of the Child - Women of the ! Mongollan Quarter and Her Story of Rescue. alias Ah Mooie, alias Pong ot rid of her husband and | Tung Yow Mow Low, b one of her names. She is no longer Mrs. Low Ah Sing. The divorce was granted yesterday by Judge Troutt, and the plaintiff is allowed | to resume her three maiden names, already | described. Little Tung Yow, alias Ah Mooie, alias | Pong Mow Low, is young, gentle, and in | no manner a match for the wily Ah Sing, whose christian name, if the heathen can be said to have one,is Low. The man’s| first name is Low, and his general reputa- : tion as presented in court may be repre- | sented in the very same letters. Chinese divorce cases are rare in this country, even in San Francisco, for it is the law and the practice of the Mongolian | quarter that if a man chooses to put away his wize he may put her away behind wooden bars and commerctally profit by | so doing. Low Ah Sing followed the usual custom, but his wife, Tung Yow, alias Ah Mooie, alias Pong Mow Low, escaped to Miss Culbertson’s mission, and to save herself from being returned to slavery she followed the example of the frequent American lady, and apphed for relief in the divorce courts. Low Ab Sing was worse than the aver- age American husband. He took the little woman as his wife two years ago last | and before the time of an or- | dinary honeymoon had passed he placed | her in the vilest durance of the colony. | Accepting her as his sla he sold her. | For two years the little woman was held a prisoner, but one day she saw an oppor- | tunity to slip out into the air of the free people. She stole quietly along until the danger of immediate detection seemed passed, and then she ran. Little Tung| 'ow, alias Ah Mooie, alias Pong Mow Low, ran to her sisters in the Chinese mission. There she was safe from her husband, safe from her owners, and safe from tke whole Chinese nation if it should try to take her. She told to Miss Culbertson the story of her slavery, and to Mi Julbertson it was not a new one. The mission matron gave the needed care and protection, and to make the protection permanent she hired a lawyer, Henry E. Monroe, to sue for divorce. The attorney went about his work in the usual prosaic way and he filed a com- plaint, saying: The plaintiff above named, complaining of | the defendant, alleges as follow: That plaintif’s true nameis Tung Yow, and that the names Ak Mooie and Pong Mow Low have been given the plaintiff at different times according 1o & Chinese custom. That plaintiff is and for more than a year immediately before the commencement of this action has been a resident of this State and of this city and county. That on the 20th day of January, 1893, in this city and county, defendant and plaintiff intermarried and ever since have been and now are husband and wife, and plaintiff ever since the said time has been the wife of de- fendant. Then he related in quite as matter-of- fact a way how the little woman had been sold into just the life that she should ex- pect a husband to shield her from. The next step was to serve the summons on the defendant, Low Ah Sing, but that was impossible, even with the assistance of an improvised Chinatown bailiff, one Wang Lang. The husband’s last known home was at 845 Clay street, but, said Mr. Monroe in his affidavit, “ther8 they always® slammed the door in affiant’s face,” and to the at- torney’s courteous questions they gave ‘‘evasive and non-committal replies.” This statement of the facts was readily accepted by Judge Troutt, who declared the summons legal on newspaper publica- tion and the mailing of a notice. Low Ah Sing defaulted the case, whether heever received the summons or not. The allegations of the complaint were sup- ported by the testimony of .Miss Culbert- son, Attorney Monroe, Howard Badger, Ah'Ching and the plaintiff; and Judge Troutt decreed that little Tung Yow, alias Ah Mooie, alias Pong Mow Low, should no more be Mrs. Ah Bing. The technical ground of the divorce was desertion on the part of the husband, though it was, in fact, the wife who had fled. Commenting on the piace of the little woman'’s enforced residence, Judge Troutt expressed himself mildly. Said he: “It was unreasonable and grossly unfit.” BURGLARS ARE BUSY. A Bazaar and a Saloon Visited Yester- day Morning. Burglaries have become frequent of late in different parts of the City. Two more Among the guests were: Mr. and Mrs. Hill, Mr. and Mrs. Froment, M.

The State Board of Trade, in orderto bring California more prominently before the At- lanta exposition, has decidea to make a special showing of the development of art, literature, education and the advance of religious and were reported at police headquarters yes- terday as having occurred early yesterday morning. James Mearns of the North Beach Razaar, 1500 Powell street, reported that his place had been entered and 400 cigars and a lot of knives and cigarettes stolen. Entrance had been effected by opening the front door with a duplicate key. The burglars had thoroughly ransacked the place. ° The other burglary was in Jerry Me- Carthy’s saloon on Market street, near Fourth. It was entered between 3 and 4 o’clock yesterday morning. The cash reg- ister had been forced open, but luckily it contained no money. Nothing appeared to have been stolen, the burglars having been apparently only in searcfi of coin. [ Acton Rooster says that R. E. AMONG THE COAST MINES, Resume of the Week’s News From Important Cen- ters. BOOM IN BROWN'S VALLEY. Electric Plant Supplied to the Lower Levels of the Maryland Mine. The gold fever has certainly struck San Andreas, Calaveras County, as every man that is able is out prospecting. The Central Hill gravel mines are look- ing well, and some extensive machinery has recently been put in a few of the claims. The mines in that section of Calaveras County which have laid idle for years are starting up one by one. At Goler, Kern County, the ‘‘dry dig- ging”’ district, old dumps are being re- worked with good results, new ground is being opened and new strikes made. Ellyson’s claim at Black Mountain, one of the Golercamps, is paying better than any claim in the district. It is forty-two feet to bedrock, but he gets $20 per hundred | shovels fuil of gravel. Lithographic stone from a deposit near Bumble Bee station, Ariz.,isbeing shipped to Los Angeles, and is said to be equal to the German stone. With depth, the sur- face defects of the deposit have disap- peared. The commercial value is about 15 cents a pound. An attempt is being made to get the creditors of the Gaver mine, Amador County, to sign an agreement to defer col- lection of their claims for two years and to consent to accept payment out of the net Eroceeds of the mine. The Gover ought to e one of the big producing mines of Ama- dor, but seems to be always in difficulties. The Amador Quecn people are trying to arrange terms with the Blue Lakes Water Company for a supply of water to run the machinery. Thereis an available pressure of 400 feet from one side of the gulch. A new tunneling and ditching machine, invented by Louis Recard, is to be tried at the Gottschalk mine, San Andreas, Cala- veras County. Good, free gold ore is now being taken out of the mine. There is quite & mining boom in Browns Valley, Yuba County, at present. Ma- chinery 1s being put’in place and many claims are being worked. The old camp of Star City, Humboldt County, Nevada, abandoned years ago, is | apt to be repopulated, if the recent gold | strikes in its vicinity prove as good as re- ported. _ The Goldbug Mining Company, operat- ing on Snake River, has completed at Port- land, Or,, a new sand and eravel lifting pump 1OF use in a river-dredger mining plant. ; Bourne, formerly Cracker City, Or., is now quite active. Two yearsago the camp was practically deserted. Now it is a bust- ling burg of a few hundred souls, all em- ployed at various vocaticns. The Eureka & Excelsior Company has 100 men at work on its North Pole property, in car- rying on extensive operations. The miaing camp of Acton, County, has not been \'eryfi past two years, but is picl Los Angeles ively for the ing up. The {udson has purchased the old mill in_the Tejunga, and will remodel it. The Mount Miesa Company, which started its tunnel abont 200 feet below the upper tunnel, have made a good strike. In the Coast Rangein Kings County there are to be found deposits of coal, gypsum and sulphur. but they are undeveloped for lack of capital. A body of good ore has been found in the lower levels of the Utopia quicksilver mine, Sonoma County. The depth is 200 feet below the croppings. Parr and Tyack Eave started up a_new cyanide plant in the old syndicate mili at Bodie, and are prepared to work twenty tons of tailings per day. It is estimated that they have 3000 tons ready to work on. Several Huntingtons and one t:n-stamp mill are being erected at the Spanish mine, above Washington, Nevada County. This mine hoids the record over all mines in this country for cheap treatment of low- grade ore. Vic L. Dorsey, assistant superintendent of the Maryland mine, near Grass Valley, bas just put in an electric plant in the company’s hoisting works which supplies | lights for the 1000-level underground, mak- ing it as light as day. Salt Lake men are about to have a try at working the ores of Meadow Lake district, Nevada County, which have so far baffled the California millmen. The main trouble, however, seems to be that there is less gold in the ore than is generally sap- posed. The Trinidad mine at Sailor Canyon, Nevada County, owned by George Mont- gomery of San Francisco, is makin, preparaticns for placing a 40-stamp mi in place this summer. The ledge has been prosiaected by two tunnels and is one of the largest in the mountains, being ten feet wide in many places. Fred Beaudry of Trinity County has bought out the interests of his partners, Messrs. King, Ballard and Black, in the gravel mines at Callahans, éiskiyou County. N The old town of Deadwood, Siskiyon County, at the junction of McAdams, Cherry and Deadwood creeks, was only second in importance to Yreka in the ’50’s, when the creeks were paying hand- somely. Nothing is left of the place now but the famous Steamboat mine on McAdams Creek, which has been bought by Tacoma men, who are to drain and work the channel on a large scale, and that section of country will become again productive. It is not often that miners get their gold all minted, but up in Trinity County the other day while cleaning up the ditch in the Hupp & McMurry mine E. 8. Flagg picked up a $203iece bearing date of 1884 and L. O. Todd found one dated 1874. Last 2’enr four twenties of earlier date were found in the same claim. A syndicate of San Jose capitalists have examined the Elizabethtown channel near Quincy, Plumas County, with a view of se- curing, developing and operating that val- uable piece of property. This channel, when worked in early days, produced a great deal of fold. The " shallow places near the head have been worked, and it rer}uircs deeper mining to open the chan- nel below. Old miners think a very rich drift vein will be opened if work is started up there. R.G. Hart of the Texas Con. mine, hasta County, is about to complete his chloronation plant. The Original Quartz Hill mine, Shasta County, will double the capacity of its milling plant by adding ten stamps. The Heald;burg (Sonoma County) min- eral paint mine has put up a five-stamp mill and two new burr mills, The Downieville Messenger says: Ship- ments of gold bullion from this part of Sierra County have been unusually heavy during the past few weeks. Fully $25,000, taken irom mines in the vicinity of Downie- ville, has been sent below since July 1. The gold yield throughout the county this summer Is far in excess of that of last year, and indications point to the conclu- sion that these favorable conditions will continue to prevail. A man named Dyson, who has been pros- pecting in the hills east of Alturas, Modoc County, is reported as having found some quartz which assays high in gold, and a sack of the ore has been sent to this city to be thorougnly tested. Modoc Count; has never made much of a record as a gol producer.. The mill at the Silver Gray mine at D_ednck! on Canyon Ureek, above Junction City, Trinity County, is crushing a lot of ore recently taken out and amounting to 150 tons. There are several good quartz properties in that section, but milling facilities are limited, and very little cap- ital has been invested. ‘The Isabella Company of Placeritas, Ygl‘lupm County, Ariz., is building a new mill. A new free-gold district is beinz opened about thirty miles north of Holbrook, Ariz. The ledges are rich, but ** pockety.” A very rich chamber of ore recently found in'the Harqua Hala group of mines, Arizona, yielded $1000 a sack, and forty sacks were taken out. ‘Report comes that the United Verde Copper Company, Arizona, will soon double the capacity of their plant and in- crease the working force. . Considerable very fine turquoise is be- ing shipped to New York from the Arizona turquoise mines, The Grand Central Mining Company of Utah has ordered a $20,000 plant of ma- chinery. The Syndicate mine, Camp Floyd, Utah, has been leased and bonded to C. N. Smith of California and William N. Powell, who are at once to develop the properties. About 3000 tons of vre were shipped from Trail, B. C., last week. p in British Columbia the usual “spring lull” in the Slocan district is ended and the mines are resuming work. It is estimated that of the 200 really prom- ising prospects between Lake Slocan and Lake Kootenai at least fifty will receive true development work this year, and nearly all the remaining 150 can” count on their §100 worth of assessment work. Some 1200 men are working on the Karlo and Slocan] railroad and ore is ready and wait- ing—enough of it to keep the railway boys busy from the very day the road is turned over to the company. The camp at the head of the Palouse River, Latah County, Idaho, where a great many poor men have been working free gold ledges and placers, is to have the help of Eastern capitalists. The Eold-saving machine of Butler Bros., of Sacramento, Cal., which has been tried on the black sands in the State of Washington, did not do what was ex- pected, and the fine scows built for it will be sold. They say there was too much oil in the sand. The completion of the wagon road from Towle to Pioneer mine, by way of Euchre Bar, will mark the commencement of a new era among FEastern Placer County quartz mines, as it will open up a section that has been reached only by a pack train. The new development in mines on the North Fork and Humbug Canyon made the road a necessity. A great many prospectors are working around Yreka, Scott Valley, Salmon River and Klamath River sections, Siskiyou County, which is a good thing for the development of those sections. A miners’ mass-meeting is to be held in Nevada C ome time this month to dis- cuss the mineral land question and other matters affecting the miners. Several miners have returned to Stock- ton from Alaska, where they put up a thirty-stamp prospect mill on a mine in the Silver Bow basin for the owners of the Utica mine at Angels. The members of the party advise all men with small means to keep away from Alaska, as there are four times more men there now than the territory will support, and it is a hard country for a man who is out of money. The Revival in Mariposa. - No county in the State is exveriencing more of a mining advance at present than Mariposa. For a iong series of years it has been practically abandoned to a few enthusiastic miners, and capitalists have passed it by. In the early days of the State it attracted marked attention, and millions were invested in the mines. Then came the litigation over the Mariposa estate, which finally resulted in almost putting Mariposa out of the list of mining counties. For years it has languished, though the mines were known to be ex- tensive and valuable. Otoer counties were favored by capitalists, but this was not until the company from Butte, Mont., took hold of the claims at Coulterville. This was the signal for others to follow, and since then many investments have been made, and the sleepy old pioneer towns and camps haye been awakened. Now comes the news that Eastern people and Los Angeles people have bought a lot of mines in Catheys Valley, and English capitalists have bought others at Hornitos. Both these companies have plenty of money, and will follow the lead of the Boston and Montana men in developing and equipping the ciaims to make them productive. All these claims have been just as good in the Fust dozen years as they are to-day, but California mining men have neglected their opportunity. Eastern and foreign capital has recognized the advantages of the sections from a mining point of view and bought the claims. The Sierra Buttes people, an English company, owning nro- duct mines in Sierra, Plumas and Shasta counties, have bought and equipped some mines in the county, and finally some Cali- fornia men have commenced to invest. But we have been slow about it, and too late for some of the big properties. There are many other mining sections in this State still languishing for want of the capi- tal to develop them, and Californians ought to profit by the example in Mari- posa County and not wait for others to make the first investments. Small Hydraulic Mines. The California Debris Commission has recently granted permission to several mines in Sierra and Plumas counties to resume mining by the hydraulic process. The closing down of hydraulic mines some vears ago probably affected these two coun- ties more seriously than even those of Ne- vada and Placer, where more extensive operations were carried on by Jarge compa- nies. In Sierra and Plumas are hundreds of small hydraulic mines, owned and oper- ated by one, two or half a dozen men. When they had to quit work these men found their occupation gone. The two counties in _question are dependent essen- tially on the mining industry and have languished to a_certain extent ever since. When the Caminetti law went into force it was mainly the larger corapanies in other counties which petitioned for permission to resume mining, since they could afford to construct the dams and other impound- ing works for the debris required by the commission under the law. Few of the smaller mines on the upper mountains have resumed operations. The reason for this has been that the few individuals owners could hardly afford to construct the impounding works, not- withstanding the fact that the Govern- ment commission is disposed to be very lenient with this class of claims and does not compel them to do very expensive work. The fact that in both Sierra and Plumas counties permits to mine are being asked for augurs well for the future of the gravel- mining interests of those sections. It will be a good thing for the State when the hundreds of small claims in the mountains can again resume operations and become productive without doing any injury to other interests. Employment would be furnished to a great many men, ground now useless could be made to yiefd and hundreds of thousands of dollars could be obtained and disbursed locally. Finding “Fools’”’ Gold. Thatore from Alameda County which was to pay from $15 to $50 per ton in gold u‘foum.i to be decomposed granite filled with glittering specks of mica, which were doubtless taken for gold. But this is not the first time a mining investment in Ala- meda or San Francisco County has been nipped in the bud. It havpens every two or three vears. Some one with no knowl- edge of mining finds rock he think has has gold and he shows it to others equally ignorant. Before anybody with exper- ience has a chance to judge the rock a lot of people become excited. Because a man lives in California it is no reason he must know of gold mining. Nine out of ten Californians know nothing at all about it. Then we see only this week some old Cali- fornian passing favorably on a strata of rock 1000x70 feet, worth $19 r ton, at Ashford, Coun. He leases 400 feet of the ledge to another old miner, who will organ- ize a company to work it. A pony mining outfit is to be set up and the rock “is to be treated by a new separating process. .in_this State the largest goid-producing This is the same old story of the California miner in the East. He organizes a com- pany and tries a new process at once, all of which shows there is little or nothing in the find. If the California (f)eople right here in our midst get misled with ‘‘fools’ gold’’ or mica, it is small wonder Eastern people get excited over similar things. These gold finds in most of the ‘‘cow coun- ties” of the coast range or great valley usually turn out to be of very little value. A Cheap Mine for Once. The Pioneer mine, Placer County, owned by A. E. Davis and tbe late James G. Fair | and recently sold to Boston capitalists for $150,000, is thought bv some to have brought a high price. The fact is, in view of its product, it seems to have brought an exceptionally low one. Capitalists all want ‘‘going” mines, that is, those which are paying, and here was a mine_in full opera- tion, with a tweaty-stamp mill turning out handsomely, yet it only brought the figures named., The mine has only been actively worked for six years, yet in that time it has | yielded $331,800, of which $108,000 was produced in 1894. For a mine with such an amount of production in its last year’s run and only six years’ active life, the amount it brought was very low indeed. It is doubtful if so cheap a mine could be | found in the State. Thousands of that | kind of mines could be sold if they could i be found. It is so seldom that Eastern people get hold of a good mine at any sort of reasonable price, that Mr. Jacques of Haverhill, Mass., who came here to settle the matter, ought to be congratulated by his Boston associates for making such a bargain. Assays of Rich Ore. Colorado is a ‘‘daisy”’ when it comes to advertising her mining resources. Her papers are all loyal to that interest and there are none in opposition to it as in this State. Every time a mine there makes a strike of rich ore it is heralded not only in Colorado itself but all over the country. This week, for instance, we are told of a mine at Victor which has struck a vein with some ore assaying $140,000 to the ton, and they think several millions are in sight. Such a conclusion by no means follows. In the Bonanza and other pocket mines at Sonora, Tuolumne County, they have come across places where there was more pure gold than rock, but these pock- ets are smali. An assay at such a point, and then a little figuring on the width of the ledge, would far outdo the Colorado claim. In the Rawhide, in the same county, some of the ore which is occasion- ally found is marvelously rich, but little is said of these matters here. In fact the owners themselves kee{v{ quiet about it. But _as stated Colorado knows how to ad- vertise her properties and in consequence has an abundance of capital always coming into its mining regions. We have mine in the world, yet very few even of our own people know this fact. SOLD THEIR CEMETERY, Russo-Greek Burial Ground Lone Mountzain Changes Hands. Cause of a Murderous Feud of a Generation Under the Auc- tion Hammer. ST | The Greek-Russian cemetery has passed | out of its old owners’ hands through process of law, and what was once to be a ““God’s acre’” in San Francisco will soon be converted into building lotsand sold to the | highest bidders. The cemetery was sold last Monday in the office of Baldwin & Hammond, on Montgomery street, and thouch the gen- eral public knew little or nothing of the sale there was a large crowd present. Those who stood around watching the pro- ceedings were a strange mixture of people. There were Servians, Montenegrins, Rus- sians, some Greeks and many more from the Balkans and Slav countries, each and every one of whom manifested deep inter- est in the sale. Bidding there was none—saving, of course, the one offer made by the Servian- Montenegrin Literary and Benevolent So- ciety of $428580. And at that figure the cemetery was sold. The land is located near the corner of Turk street and Parker avenue, under Lone Mountain, and is an irregularly shaped acre measuring 305 feet on one side, 257 on another, 201 feet on a third, 89 feet 9 inches on still another, with 40 feet on the fifth side. Small as the bit of land out on the lonely sandhill is, it has a strange history. Fully a generation back it was bought by a Sla- vonian and Russian society which went out of existence. The Greek-Russian-Slavonian Orthodox Eastern Church and Benevolent Society was subsequently formed. It claimed to have succeeded the former or- ganization, some members of which main- tained that they were the real owners. It was this contention that led to dissen- sions in the Russian colony of San Fran- cisco. Some bodies were interred in the cemetery and then the place was forsaken and utterly negiected. The Servian-Montenegrin Literary and Benevolent Society was organized, and from it the church society borrowed $3000 in February, 1891, with interest at 7}4 per cent, -due four years after date. This money was invested in a cemetery in San Mateo County and secured by a mortgage on the acre out at Lone Mountain. Even- tually the dispute settled down to a legal question between the two organizations with the result that the original cemetery was sold for the martgage, interest and costs of court. The dead godiea were re- moved to the new burial ground in San Mateo Coun! ¥etich Worship. Among the primitive races every fresh fetich meets with consideration, for, though it may inspire nothing clse, it inspires fear. Anexclamation heard at random, a word neither understood nor sought to be comprehended, will be repeated by a savage that, happily, it may bring him good or avert from him evil fortune. Itcan do no harm and may do good, like a paper charm or the ‘‘absit omen’’ of the Romans. Thus thinks, doubtless, the peasant trudg- ing from market in the west of Engiand to-day, as she gives nine nods to the new moon—a remnant of the worship of Ashtaroth—or turns her purse in her pocket “for luck—a shred of sacrifice to the fetich the purse contains, provided she can do so unobserved. 5 Yet what an insensate and cruel fetich it is—so hard to come by, so impossible to keep, now for a few happy hours in her pocket, or the stocking, or the cracked tea- pot—and now over the counter—never resting in her work-wearied, willing l}ands' but nestling in, sticking to the finzers of old Gaffer Grimes, who will guard it, Loard it, treasure it, deny himself the necessaries of life to increase the bulk of his bloated fetich, and finally die a misera- ble death of starvation, “‘worth,” we are told, between £30,000 and £40,000. And the fetich having slowly tortured bis slave to death, the tidings of hisapproach are received with such a paroxysm of delight by the next heir—his expectant host—that it is found necessary to shut him up, put him into safe custody, lest his life go with his reason.—Chambers’ Journal. e Projected by a Scot. The Bank of England was projected by a Scotchman, William Paterson, ‘and estab- lished 1694, Tt started with a Government loan of $6,000,000, at 8 per cent, secured on taxes. The charter appointed a Gov- ernor and twenty-four directors to be an- nually elected frcm members of the com- pany possessing not less than $2000 in stock. The South sea bubble (1720), the Jacobite rebellion (1745), and the failure of | to be used for Sun a numbver of country banks (1792Laeriously affected the bank. "The bank charter act cf 1844 limited the note circulation to $70,- 000,000, against a like amount lent to the Government, unless a similar value in bul- lion were in hand. The act was suspended during the panics of 1847, 1857 ana 1866. MONTGOMERY MEMORIAL The Handsome Chapel at San Anselmo Nearing Completion. WILL SOON BE DEDICATED.
